Temp Table in Package returning Ref_Cursor?

I'm new to Oracle. Here is what I'm trying to do.
I need to lookup all records with a certain ID. The IDs are stored by quarter and year. I'm trying to compare records with the previous 3 quarters.
so record with ID = 1 also has Qtr = 1, Year = 2008.
I would also need to find all ID's for the previous 3 quarters ( Q 4 of 2007, Q 3 of 2007, and Q 2 of 2007).
I'm trying to write a package that will return a ref cursor with all 4 ids so the output would look like a table with 4 rows and 1 column.
In SQL Server I could create a temp table, insert these 4 values in and return a Select * From TempTable.
How can I accomplish this in Oracle 10g?

Something like this ?
test@ORA10G>
test@ORA10G> drop table tblyearquarter;
Table dropped.
test@ORA10G>
test@ORA10G> create table tblyearquarter (id, qtr, yr, createdate) as
2 select
3    round(dbms_random.value(1,10000)),
4    t1.qtr,
5    t2.yr,
6    (sysdate - t3.indx)
7 from
8 (select level+2003 as yr from dual connect by level<=5) t2,
9 (select level as qtr from dual connect by level<=4) t1,
10 (select level as indx from dual connect by level<=round(dbms_random.value(1,4))) t3;
Table created.

Creating WS from a pl/sql package (return ref_cursor) on a 9i database

Howdy,
I can create and deploy a ws built from pl/sql package on a 9i database that returns a ref_cursor. When I test it via my app server it throws the following:
ERROR>oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Character '#' is not allowed in an XML tag name.</ERROR>
If I run a similar ws built on a 10g database there is no error. What am I missing?
Jdeveloper: 10.1.3.3
9i Database: 9.2.0.6
10g Database: 10.2.0.2.0
Oracle AS Control: 10.1.3.1.0

Ok so I played around with this some more. I created the same process in bpel using oracle bpel designer and here are the results.
1. Against 10g database running a synch process data is retutned without error.
2. Against 9i database running an asynch process data is retutned without error.
3. Against 9i database running a synch process data is retutned with error.
I'm definilty missing something.

Global temp table vs. package variables

hi all,
i need to know which is a better approach to store session based values in terms of security and performance.
option one
create global temporary table my_session_tbl ( code varchar2(30), value varchar2(1000) );option two
create or replace package my_session
as
type session_tab_type is table of varchar2(1000) index by varchar2(30);
session_tab session_tab_type;
end;thanks
allen

That depends entirely on your requirements.
For example, if you are using that temp values primarily in SQL, storing it in PL requires (expensive) context switching from SQL to PL to access the values. If the temp values are primarily used in PL code, the reverse is true.
PL code requires PGA memory - private and expensive process memory. So there is a limit on just how much temporary values you can pump into a PL data segment before it becomes very expensive.
It depends on how you want to use that temp values. A GTT supports indexing, and via SQL can be filtered, sorted, aggregated, and analysed far easier that any data structure in PL code.
So you need to look at:
a) how you are going to use the data
b) from what language
c) what the data volumes are
I fail to see how security will play an issue - as a GTT and PL data structure are both local to the current process. Exposing that would in both cases be a coding flaw and not a problem or issue associated with the GTT or PL data structure itself.

Global Temp Table, always return zero records

I call the procedure which uses glbal temp Table, after executing the Proc which populates the Global temp table, i then run select query retrieve the result, but it alway return zero record. I am using transaction in order to avoid deletion of records in global temp table.
whereas if i do the same thing in SQL navigator, it works

Hi,
This forum is for Oracle's Data Provider and you're using Microsoft's, but I was curious so I went ahead and tried it. It works fine for me. Here's the complete code I used, could you point out what are you doing differently?
Cheers,
Greg

SSIS package takes longer time when inserting data into temp tables

querying records from one server and inserting them into temp tables is taking longer time.
are there any setting in package which enhance the performance .

will local temp table (#temp ) enhance the performance ..
If you're planning to use # tables in ssis make sure you read this

Visual Basic, DAO, Temp tables in stored procedures

Client code currently uses DAO with SQLPassthrough option in VB to connect to SQl 6.5 db.
I migrated all stored procedures with default options except Oracle 8i temp tables. For every procedure a package and a procedure was created. We use SQL server temporary tables extensively in a few hundred stored procedures. The ref cursor created refers to the temporary table. While migratiing, Create table statement is commented. How are SQL6.5 equivalent of temp tables handled in Oracle? Is there an alternative to temp tables?
I also migrated to another oracle db using the INOUT type for stored procedures. This time only procedures were created. Can these procedures return a record set in DAO with SQLPAssthrough?
How do you call a procedure using DAO in VB to get recordsets?
What is the best way to migrate to Oracle with minimal client code changes?
Thank you in advance.

I agree with Karthick, there's no need for a temporary table in this situation.
And to add, temporary tables should not be created at runtime, they should be part of the initial design of the database, created once and used as needed. Creating them at runtime is just wrong.The problem is the name oracle has given to GTT. The word Temporary mislead lot of SQL Server developers and they think its something same as the temporary table used in SQL Server :)Yeah, Ingres does something similar to SQL Server too, in that you can create a temporary table (Ingres assigned it a unique name and tells you what it is), and you set an expiry time on it (i.e. set it to expire in 1 days time), and then a background process is supposed to clean up the tables that have expired. Unlike Oracle, they are not session specific, but become visible to all once created.
I think there's room for both types of temporary table, but Oracle's does the job (except when you want to use them from a stateless application front end).

Stored procedure with temp table creation inside and using it

I want to create a temp table inside a stred procedure and make use of it . I want perform some delete statements based on select statemets .An I want to drop the table at the end .
When I tried to create a table inside the stored procedure using exxecute immediate statement ,.
sql_stmt := 'CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE pattern_str_temp as select * from pattern_structure';
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE pattern_str_temp as select * from woc_pattern_structure' ;
Then my select statements that contain this table do not identify the table name.
I got compilor error when I use it in hte stored procedure in the select statement .Then I did like this-

But once the data is deleted , the data in the temp table is deleted when I load the data and try to delete it agian since I have no data in temp table ,the data is not deleted .So I need to create the temp table every time the stored procedure is called ,delete accordingly and drop the table at the end .
Please suggest how to do it.
Thanks.

I'm not sure I understand what you're attempting to do...
What is the benefit of a temporary table that stores the same set of data that is in the master table? Why not just
DELETE FROM child_table1
WHERE foreign_key IN (
    SELECT primary_key
      FROM master_table
     WHERE some_condition);
DELETE FROM child_table2
WHERE foreign_key IN (
    SELECT primary_key
      FROM master_table
     WHERE some_condition);
DELETE FROM child_table30
WHERE foreign_key IN (
    SELECT primary_key
      FROM master_table
     WHERE some_condition);
DELETE FROM master_table
WHERE some_condition;or
FOR x IN (SELECT * FROM master_table WHERE some_condition)
LOOP
DELETE FROM child_table1 WHERE foreign_key = x.primary_key;
DELETE FROM child_table2 WHERE foreign_key = x.primary_key;
DELETE FROM child_table30 WHERE foreign_key = x.primary_key;
DELETE FROM master_table WHERE primary_key = x.primary_key;
END LOOP;Justin

Data storage in temp tables

Question 1: I have created a global temporary table tt_groups(grp_ids number) on commit preserve rows; and I was wondering - if I have multiple users accessing this temp table at the same time, do I need to differenciate between the users, or will Oracle put a userid on them?
Question 2: I am attempting to enter data into these temp tables within a function that will actually use the data. This function contains and returns a cursor. So far, I have been having great difficulties with this - to the point that I am ready to write an addition function just to store the data in the temp table. Does any one have any suggestions? Here is a sample of my code in case that would help. btw - str2tbl is a home grown conversion tool that parses a string and puts the data into rows of number. We have used it in many functions and so far don't have any issues associated with it.
in_groupid IN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO tt_groups(grp_ids)
VALUES (
SELECT Column_Value
FROM THE (
select cast(STR2TBL(in_groupid) as mytableType)
from dual
COMMIT;
END;
I am new to the whole sp/function coding, so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Susan

Thanks, Justin, for your reply.
I am pleased to hear that the temp table is session-specific.
I attempted to update my statement to match what you suggested, but I am still getting "invalid" whenever I try to compile the function through schema mgr. Do you see anything that I might be missing? I incorporated the BEGIN; COMMIT; and END;, but is there something else that I am supposed to have? I downloaded a couple of Oracle handbooks and I have one book, Oracle8i - the complete reference, (we are using 9i) that I am referring to all the time, but I can't seem to get it to work! Here is more of my code:
in_groupid IN VARCHAR2
RETURN Types.ref_cursor
AS
resource_cursor types.ref_cursor;
BEGIN
OPEN resource_cursor FOR
SELECT DISTINCT
CATEGORY.CATID, SUBCATEGORY.SUBCATID
FROM SUBCATEGORY, CATSUBCAT, CATEGORY, SUBRES
WHERE SUBCATEGORY.SUBCATID = CATSUBCAT.SUBCATID AND
CATSUBCAT.CATID = CATEGORY.CATID AND
(CATSUBCAT.GROUPID IN (select grp_ids from tt_groups)) AND
(SUBRES.GROUPID IN (select grp_ids from tt_groups))
I want to insert this code into the function above:
INSERT INTO dtra_tt_groups(grp_ids)
SELECT Column_Value
FROM THE (
select cast(STR2TBL(in_groupid) as mytableType)
from dual
COMMIT;
Where would I insert this statement?
Thanks,
Susan

CURSOR on a temp table?

hello
*okay this following is WORKING and CORRECT:*
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fnGetParents
ObjectId number,
ObjectClassifier varchar2
RETURN typescursorType
IS
fnGetParents_cursor types.cursorType;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (''CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE TMP_HierarchyMap
Id numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
ParentId numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
ChildId numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
) on commit delete rows'');
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (''CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE TEMP_ID
Id numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
bDone NUMERIC(1,0) NOT NULL
) on commit delete rows'');
/* recursive call: spRecursiveGetParents(ObjectId, ObjectClassifier); */
OPEN fnGetParents_cursor FOR
SELECT
Id,
ParentId,
ChildId,
FROM TMP_HierarchyMap;
RETURN fnGetParents_cursor;
END fnGetParents;
My question is, how can I do something like this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TmpHierarchyMapObjType AS OBJECT
Id numeric(19,0) ,
ParentId numeric(19,0),
ChildId numeric(19,0),
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TmpHierarchyMapTableType AS TABLE OF TmpHierarchyMapObjType;';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE types AS
TYPE cursorType IS REF CURSOR;
END; ';
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fnGetParents
ObjectId number,
ObjectClassifier varchar2
RETURN typescursorType
IS
TmpHierarchyMap TmpHierarchyMapTableType := TmpHierarchyMapTableType();
fnGetParents_cursor types.cursorType;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (''CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE TMP_HierarchyMap
Id numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
ParentId numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
ChildId numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
) on commit delete rows'');
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (''CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE TEMP_ID
Id numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
bDone NUMERIC(1,0) NOT NULL
) on commit delete rows'');
/* recursive call: spRecursiveGetParents(ObjectId, ObjectClassifier); */
OPEN fnGetParents_cursor FOR
SELECT
Id,
ParentId,
ChildId,
FROM TMP_HierarchyMap;
-- I want to learn how to enumerate a temp table and put it in a nested table but keep getting error on loop
FOR oMap in spGetChildren_cursor LOOP
                         TmpHierarchyMap.Extend();
                         TmpHierarchyMap(TmpHierarchyMap.Count) := TmpHierarchyMapObjType( oMap.Id                                                                                               ,oMap.ParentId                                                                                               , oMap.ChildId
                    END LOOP;
RETURN fnGetParents_cursor;
END fnGetParents;
I just want to know how for sake of learning.
Thanks

As mentioned yesterday, if you create database objects dynamically, you have to query them dynamically.
For example, you could use the DBMS_SQL package, which offers one of the most flexible ways of dyanamic queries..

PLSQL script not collecting temp table fields - variables problem?

I've 'written' a script to extract data from a temp table and load it directly into the associated Oracle tables via HRMS's
API packages.. but when I put the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE's in I see that although it seems to read first API OK it doesn't collect the information from their relevant fields in the temp table.. Can anyone help please please..?

Ive just sussed it - I had'nt put the 'v_emp' at the front of the fields from the temp table to pick then up! we continue..

Temp Tables - Best Practice

Hello,
I have a customer who uses temp tables all over their application.
This customer is a novice and the app has its roots in VB6. We are converting it to .net
I would really like to know the best practice for using temp tables.
I have seen code like this in the app.
CR2.Database.Tables.Item(1).Location = "tempdb.dbo.[##Scott_xwPaySheetDtlForN]"
That seems to work, though i do not know why the full tempdb.dbo.[## is required.
However, when i use this in the new report I am doing I get runtime errors.
i also tried this
CR2.Database.Tables.Item(1).Location = "##Scott_xwPaySheetDtlForN"
I did not get errors, but I was returned data i did not expect.
Before i delve into different ways to do this, i could use some help with a good pattern to use.
thanks

Hi Scott,
Are you using the RDC still? It's not clear but looks like it.
We had an API that could piggy back the HDBC handle in the RDC ( craxdrt.dll ) but that API is no longer available in .NET. Also, the RDC is not supported in .NET since .NET uses the framework and RDC is COM.
Work around is to copy the temp data into a data set and then set location to the data set. There is no way that I know of to get to the tempdb from .NET. Reason being is there is no CR API to set the owner of the table to the user, MS SQL Server locks the tempdb to that user has exclusinve rights on it.
Thank you
Don

Global temp table and edit

Hi all,
Can someone tell me why when I create a GTT and insert the data like the followijng ,I get insert 14 rows msg. But when I do a select statement from sqlwork shop , sometimes i get the data sometimes I don't. my understanding is this data is supposed to stay during my logon session then got cleaned out when I exit session.
I am developing a screen in apex and will use this temp table for user to do some editing work. Once ithe editing is done then I save the data into a static table. Can this be done ? So far my every attempt to update the temp table always result to 0 rows updated and the temp table reversed back to 0 rows. CAn you help me ?
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE "EMP_SESSION"
(     "EMPNO" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "ENAME" VARCHAR2(10),
     "JOB" VARCHAR2(9),
     "MGR" NUMBER,
     "HIREDATE" DATE,
     "SAL" NUMBER,
     "COMM" NUMBER,
     "DEPTNO" NUMBER
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS
insert into emp_session( EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, HIREDATE, SAL, COMM, DEPTNO)
select * from emp
select * from emp_session
-- sometimes I get 14 rows, sometimes 0 rows
Thanks.

Tai,
To say that Apex doesn't support GTT's is not quite correct. In order to understand why it is not working for you and how they may be of use in an Apex application, you have to understand the concept of a session in Apex as opposed to a conventional database session.
In a conventional database session, as when you are connected with sqlplus then you have what is known as a dedicated session, or a synchronous connection. Temporary objects such as GTTs and packaged variables can persist across calls to the database. A session in Apex however is asynchronous by nature and a connection to the database is done through some sort of a server such as the Oracle HTTP server or the Apex Listener, which in effect maintains a pool of connections to the database and calls by your application aren't guaranteed to get the same connection for each call.
To get over this, the guys who developed Apex came up with various methods to maintain session state and global objects that are persistent within the context of an Apex session. One of these is Apex collections, which are a device for maintaining collection like (array like) data that is persistent within an Apex session. These are Apex session specific objects in that they are local to the session that creates and maintains them.
With this knowledge, you can then see why the GTT is not working for you and also how a GTT may be of use in an Apex application, provided you don't expect the data to persist across a call, as in a PL/SQL procedure. You should note though, that unless you are dealing with very large datasets, then a regular Oracle collection is preferable.
I hope this explains your issue.

Global Temp Table or PL/SQL Table

I am trying to determine if this can be done only using PL/SQL table. If not, will the usage of the global temp table affects the performance.
Here is the situation,
I have a data block that is based on a stored procedure. This stored procedure will return table of records from different database tables with join conditions. Some of the fields within the table of records will not have data returned from database tables. They will be the fields displayed on the form and the data will be entered by user.
For example:
Records will look like:
Id          (will be populated by procedure)
Hist_avg     (will be populated by procedure)
My_avg     (will be used as field on the form so that user can enter their own avg)
Cheked     (will be populated by procedure)
My questions are:
1.     Is this doable in form using a data block based on PL/SQL table?
2.     Will users be able to manipulate (update) the data that based on the PL/SQL table in the memory as they wish and invoke the procedure to update the underlying table when clicking on a button (Update Avg)?
3.     What is the advantage of using PL/SQL table and global temp table from database and form point of views?
Any info is appreciated.

Global Temp Table Not found - SSIS

I am facing below error while using global temp table in SSIS.
[OLE DB Destination [78]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80040E37 Description: "Table/view either does not exist or contains errors.".

1) For data connection manager - Retain same connection is set to True
2) Data Flow task - Delay Validation is set to True
3) Destination Task - Using Temp Table - ValidateExternalMetadata is set to false.
4) I am just using one data connection.
5) before using the temp file I am checking if its exits and if yes drp it first and create it.
Not able to understand the reason for failure.

Why don't you use permanent table in tempdb?
