Temporary Tables in Stored Procedure

Hi,
I am writing a stored procedure that will get data from different sources and generates a spreadsheet finally. Initial select gets the basic data and following selects merges data.
For this I have created a table in the database, I am populating data into that table using same procedure and finally selecting data from that table to generate spreadsheet.
Now I am planning to use TEMPORARY table instead of creating table in database. Can anyone tell me where I can view samples for temp tables?
Which one is the better option in performance wise?
or
can I handle the whole scenario with cursor? any examples?

Hi,
Why can't you use a regular table?
Look up [Global Temporary|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_7002.htm#sthref7247] in the diocumentation, including the SQL*Language manual, for an alternative.
"Temporary" applies only to the data. A Global Temporary Table is created once, and stays until you DROP it, the same as any other table.
The data in the table is temporary. If you create the table saying "ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS" (which sounds appropriate, based on your description) the the data will automatically be deleted when you end the database session.
All data in Global Temporary Tables is session-specific. If two (or more) people are using the same table at the same time, each will only see the data they inserted themselves; they will never see rows inserted by the other session.
Almost anything you can do with a regular table you can do with a Global Temporary Table. In particular, DML (such as MERGE) and cursors work exactly as they do on other tables.

Using temporary tables in stored procedures

Suppose that I have created a temporary table in a stored procedure using an "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE" statement. When I compile the procedure, that table is not created yet, so the compiler says that the table does not exist.
What is the way of using temporary tables in stored procedures?

It's a good practice to avoid using DDL statements being executed from stored procedures. "Truncate Table" via dynamic SQL from stored procedure is a different story and is useful in DSS environments.
But if you insist on "creating" tables using Dynamic SQL from Stored Procedures then you must also embed your DML statements in Dynamic SQL to avoid compilation errors.
Example:
Create or Replace Procedure Proc_TestDynamicSQL is
Begin
Execute Immediate 'Create table myTable as select * from user_tables' ;
Execute Immediate 'Update myTable set table_name = ''Test'' ' ; --two single quotes before and after the string "Test"
End;
In this case, Oracle wouldn't care about the table references during compilation.

Problem with temporary table in stored procedure

Hi,
I have to execute a stored procedure in java , where the stored procedure has refcursor as out parameter and within the procedure the refcursor out parameter is populated from a temporary table
when iam trying to get the resultset in my program iam getting the oracle error: ora-08103 object is no longer in use.
I think this is becos the temporary table object is not available to my program
can any one please help me

I don't understand this part.
Your procedure has "argSchemaName" as input parameter. Why do you have hardcoded owner name here in the cursor?
>>
CURSOR csrEligTables IS
SELECT
object_name
FROM
all_objects
WHERE
Owner = 'HI0XXX001'
AND

The anonymous block that you are running also has same owner name.

Drop and recreate table in stored procedure

Hi all
When creating tables using Transact-SQL scripts, I have always preferred to drop the table if it exists and then create it explicitly using CREATE TABLE. For two reasons:
1) It does not matter if it is the first time the SP is run ie. if I create the table manually in the first instance and just use TRUNCATE TABLE it could fail if the table is deleted
2) I have control over the data types of the table fields
Just recently though I discovered the error that can occur when dropping and creating a table in the same batch (see link below)
Microsoft Website
This causes me a problem when dropping and creating tables in stored procedures, as I understand that a stored procedure is in itself a single batch?
Can I avoid this error in a stored procedure whilst continuing to drop and create tables? Or should I be taking a different approach?
Coding best practice advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks Ronen
Please see my second post immediately before your reply.
Given that I need to store the data output in a physical table for use in QlikView, would you suggest truncating the table each time the SP runs? And then having a script that handles both dropping and creating the physical table, and also creating
the SP?
>> QlikView
QlikView is an Israeli company, right?
In any case I am not familiar with QlikView's application, therefore I can only give you general information, based on assumptions regarding the application, and facts regarding the SQL Server.
>> for use in QlikView
I assume that external application use specific database structure (table
structure) and it is change only in rare situations (for example CMS interface might change the tables if and when a module s update/install). In this case there is no need to drop the table and recreate it and TRUNCATE is the solution.
>> would you suggest truncating the table each time the SP runs
I am sorry but i cant recommend on TRUNCATE a table each time you execute SP, without know the exact reason for this logic. It sound to me, at this point of time (with the information that we have), that this
is very bad logic (application architecture). As I wrote above, basing your application on TRUNCATING the table each time mean that you have problems with multi users. Thins about 2 people that try to execute the same SP at almost the same time. Think about
locking in the SQL Server and bad data (one truncate while the other already inserted the new data and get no rows, if there is no locking).
But TRUNCATE is much better in this case probably then DROP and DELETE, since it is faster, and locking will be shorter (hopefully the application use the correct locking). There are other reasons why TRUNCATE is better, and other people already mentioned
most of them, but time in this scenario might be critical.
>> having a script that handles both dropping and creating the physical table, and also creating the SP?
I do not undestand what is this second step. we said that you truncate the table, so why do you need to
dropping and creating the physical table and who
creating the SP?
Are you meaning that the application create the tables and SP?
There are lot of application that during installation create the database structure. is this what you mean?

Sys Tables In Stored Procedure

How can I use Sys Table in Stored Procedure.
I want to use DBA_TAB_COLOUMNS, in stored procedure.
When I used this table in stored procedure I got an error
ORA - 00942 Table or View Does not exists.
Thanks,
Ahamed

>
Note:
To create without errors (to compile the procedure or package successfully) requires the following additional privileges:
The owner of the procedure or package must be explicitly granted the necessary object privileges for all objects referenced within the body of the code.
The owner cannot obtain required privileges through roles.
>
You need to run
grant select on dba_tab_columns to <owner of procedure>;

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).

When inserting 2 column details in a single table using Stored Procedure.Only 2 Column details getting inserted.1column details are not getting into the table.Please see the below script and help me to change.

Line 390 Under the (Insert into SALES_TRADEIN Table)
I need to insert (TradeIn_1_VIN) Values If there is no values in (TradeIn_1_VIN) then i have to insert (TradeIn_2_VIN) values to the (SALES_TRADEIN) Table.
After i run then below script only (TradeIn_2_VIN) values are get inserted in the table. (TradeIn_1_VIN) are not getting loaded in to the table.
I think there is the problem from Line No (404 to 414) Please help me change those particular lines to insert (TradeIn_1_VIN) Values also.If there is no details then (TradeIn_2_VIN) need to be inserted.

This is what I've understood from your question. You want to replace @TradeIn_2_VIN value if @TradeIn_1_VIN
is NULL, else the value of @TradeIn_1_VIN.
If this is the requirement then, your CASE statement is missing ELSE part. You can re-write this as below
case when @TradeIn_1_VIN is null then @TradeIn_2_VIN

Need to insert data in 2 tables thro stored procedure

I need to create a stored procedure which will insert data in two tables. The procedure will get
its inputs from an Oracle Developer Form which will be inserted into the tables.
The 2 tables structure:
1.FEES_MASTER
Name Null? Type
FEES_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(8) -- Primary Key
CS_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(8) -- Class Student ID; An enrolled student
REC_DATE NOT NULL DATE -- Fees receipt date
REC_AMOUNT NOT NULL NUMBER(6) -- Fees receipt amount
2.FEES_DETAIL
Name Null? Type
FEES_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(8) -- Foreign Key
MONTH NOT NULL DATE -- First of each month to identify fee month
Scenario:
A student submits fees for 3 months through Master/Detail related blocks in a Developer Form as
Under:
Fees Master
Fees ID : 11002
Class Student ID : 356
Receipt Date : 06-JAN-2001
Receipt Amount : 1500
Fees Detail
Fees ID Fees Month
11002 01-JAN-2001
11002 01-FEB-2001
11002 01-MAR-2001
I need to check each fees detail record for fees month duplication as well before inserting new records.
How can this be achieved?
Thanks in advance.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Fan Liu ([email protected]):
create primary key in the detail table. i think it's FEES_ID + MONTH. then mark the columns in Forms as primary key property true, then call check_record_uniqueness built-in in on-check-unique trigger.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks very much. But what I need is to ensure transaction integrity thro stored procedure. The system allows a certain CS_ID (i.e. Class Student ID, which is assigned a new one to every student annually) to submit fees for 12 months only, because a student stays in a class for a year. The 2 columns in the FEES_DETAIL table are composite primary key which only ensures that a certain FEES_ID will not be repeated for the same month. But suppose:
1)this data already exist in the tables:
Fees Master
Fees ID : 11002
Class Student ID : 356
Receipt Date : 06-JAN-2001
Receipt Amount : 1500
Fees Detail
Fees ID Fees Month
11002 01-JAN-2001
11002 01-FEB-2001
11002 01-MAR-2001
2)And this data is currently being inserted:
Fees Master
Fees ID : 11300
Class Student ID : 356
Receipt Date : 04-FEB-2001
Receipt Amount : 1500
Fees Detail
Fees ID Fees Month
11300 01-JAN-2001
11300 01-FEB-2001
11300 01-MAR-2001
The data in the 2nd condition is perfectly valid but the application can't allow a student to submit fees for a month which he has already submitted. Now only a stored procedure can make sure after checking that the same student doesn't pay fees for duplicate months. Another reason for my emphasis on stored procedure is that what if a user tries to insert data thro an SQL* Plus session instead of the Form.
PROBLEM: Now the problem I am having is I don't know how the procedure will take input for multiple records from the FEES_DETAIL block in the Form.
Please assist in this regard. Thanks.

How to save images to table using stored procedures?

hi all,
i created a stored procedure
create table members ( id number, name varchar2(30), avatar blob );
create or replace add_ member ( id number, name varchar2, avatar blob )
is
begin
insert into members values ( id, name, avatar);
commit;
end;i have 3 items in page..
1. Hidden -> P1_ID
2. Text field - > P1_NAME
3. File Browse - P1_AVATAR
but when invoking the procedure in Processes like
begin
add_member ( id => :P1_ID, name => :P1_NAME, avatar => :P1_AVATAR );
end;i get an error
1 error has occurred
* ORA-06550: line 3, column 3: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'ADD_MEMBERR' ORA-06550: line 3, column 3: PL/SQL: Statement ignoredcan anyone tell me why it errors out?
thanks

Did you do as fac586 suggested:
create table members ( id number, name varchar2(30), avatar blob );
create or replace add_ member ( id number, name varchar2, avatar blob )
is
begin
insert into members values ( id, name, avatar);
commit;
end;should be something like:
create table members ( id number, name varchar2(30), avatar blob );
create or replace add_ member ( id number, name varchar2, avatar blob )
is
begin
insert into members (id, name, avatar) values ( id, name, avatar);
commit;
end;You need to specify the columns of the table that you will be inserting values into.
Also, you should probably rename the parameters of your procedure so you can differentiate between the parameters, and the database columns.
i.e.:
create or replace add_ member ( p_id number, p_name varchar2, p_avatar blob )

Find tables in Stored Procedures

Hi...
Is there a way I can find the names of stored procedures where a certain table is referenced without having to look through all of them? I tried using dba_dependencies, but it did not return any rows even when I knew the table was referenced in two stored procs. No rows were returned. This is the query I issued:
select
referenced_name,
referenced_type
from
dba_dependencies
where
name LIKE '%DATA.GL_Activity_Fact%'
Any ideas? I need to modify all the stored procs which reference this table.
Thanks so much!

Assuming DATA is the schema name and GL_ACTIVITY_FACT is the table name
1) You would want to use DBA_DEPENDENCIES to search for objects that reference the table, not for objects that are referenced by the table. So you'd want to search on REFERENCED_NAME and REFERENCED_OWNER, not the other way around.
2) Regardless of how you specify the table in your code, the owner and object name will be stored separately in the data dictionary. And both will be all upper case (unless you happen to have created tables with case sensitive names).
So you probably want
SELECT owner, name, type
FROM dba_dependencies
WHERE referenced_owner = 'DATA'
AND referenced_name = 'GL_ACTIVITY_FACT'
AND referenced_type = 'TABLE'Be aware that if you use dynamic SQL to reference the table, there will be no entries in DBA_DEPENDENCIES for that.

Table Type Stored Procedure in OBIEE Physical table properties

Hi,
Any one has ever used the Stored Procedure in OBIEE Physical table properties??
I've a procedure & a table i want to plopulate the tabel using the Procedure from OBIEE physical layer.

It would be nice if we know more details about 'Populating table'...
Using connection pool->connection pool scripts tab you may go for inserting/updating (Populating table) records into table.
It would be nice if you use dedicated connection pool for init blocks...
Ex: I want to insert user login time some xyz table my query would be like
insert into xyz values ('valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)',sysdate)
without knowing your requirements its hard to tell anything apart from what is said.
If helps pls mark

Updating a temporary table thru a procedure

Hi, let's say i have a reference table named LP_TEST. From this table I get records and insert them into a temporary table named LP_TEMP. After inserting the records, i run a procedure named CALC_AREA, which is used to update a certain column AREA in table LP_TEMP (putting values into the column AREA from NULL). Inside my procedure CALC_AREA, i have a commit. After running the procedure, I query the value of AREA from LP_TEMP table but it seemed that the column AREA was not updated. However, i did the same exact thing but instead of using a temporary table, i used a regular table named LP_TEMP_TEST. In this, table, i get an output for column AREA.
What is the problem with my temporary table? I have ON_COMMIT, PRESERVE ROWS and NO_CACHE set on my temporary table. Does update table in a procedure run on temporary tables? I am using Form Builder 10.1.2.0.2. Please help. Thanks

Is your procedure by any chance declared as an autonomous transaction? Also are you 100% sure your update statement *really* updates data in your temp table? I'd fire up the debugger to make sure of that...
cheers

Create Dates table as stored procedure

SQL is a database language, so why do you want to re-compute constant data over and over, hundreds of times a day for years? UGH!
There are 365.2422 days per year, so a century of calender data is only 36,525 rows! Maybe 40 bytes per row? About 1.5 Kbytes total? This will fit into main storage
What you did post was wrong. DATE is a reserved word in SQL and it is unit of temporal measurement. You also seem to confuse columns and fields. In SQL a field is a sub-unit of a temporal measurement (YEARS, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND). Please
learn the ISO-11179 rules for data element names.
You crammed too much in the table. The new DATE data type is only 3 bytes! Your other columns are mostly redundant and have attribute splitting problems. Try this:
CREATE TABLE Calendar
(cal_date DATE NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
julian_date INTEGER NOT NULL,
julian_business_day INTEGER NOT NULL,
ordinal_date CHAR(8) NOT NULL
CHECK (ordinal_date
LIKE '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]') NOT NULL,
week_date CHAR(9) NOT NULL
CHECK (week_date LIKE '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]W[0-5][0-9]-[0-7])
The julianized date is a sequential number over the whole calendar. It makes temporal math easier.
ISO-8601 week_date is the week-within-year. This format is 'yyyyWww-d' where yyyy is the year, W is a separator token, ww is (01-53) week number and d is (1-7) day of the week.
There are several websites with calendars you can cut & paste, but you can start your search with: http://www.calendar-365.com/week-number.html
The Julian business day is a good trick. Number the days from whenever your calendar starts and repeat a number for a weekend or company holiday.
CREATE TABLE Calendar
(cal_date DATE NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
julian_business_nbr INTEGER NOT NULL,
INSERT INTO Calendar
VALUES ('2007-04-05', 42),
('2007-04-06', 43), -- good Friday
('2007-04-07', 43),
('2007-04-08', 43), -- Easter Sunday
('2007-04-09', 44),
('2007-04-10', 45); --Tuesday
To compute the business days from Thursday of this week to next
Tuesdays:
SELECT (C2.julian_business_nbr - C1.julian_business_nbr)
FROM Calendar AS C1, Calendar AS C2
WHERE C1.cal_date = '2007-04-05',
AND C2.cal_date = '2007-04-10';
Why store things like the month name in the table? This is a display field, not a schema column value. It is language dependent! It is only part of a scalar value, too; why not normalize?
But if you need them, then use computed columns that are not materialized until needed. Also, use the SUBSTRING() for things that are not numeric. Why use SMALLINT for the day of the week? Are you going to divide Thursday by 42? It is a name, not a numeric.
You saw the tricks with a Series table wanted to use them, but do not be the boy with a new hammer who thinks everything is a nail. I find that a spreadsheet is the best way to create such a calendar table because they have so many temporal options and
functions.
Also, putting the comma at the start of a line is an old punchcard trick that we do not use any more. Back in the 1960's, it let us re-arrange the deck and re-use the cards. All it cost us was readable code –- your eyes expect to see a comma after a string,
so this makes a twitch as you read.

How to update all the rows of table using stored procedures

Hi,
I want to update all the rows of a table of a specific column
sp_a male
sp_b female
sp_c male
sp_d female
in above table
gender of all the columns has to be interchanged.

Sir table is like this detail(name varchar(10),gender varchar(10))
Where Details are like this
Name Gender
sp_a
male
sp_b
female
sp_c
male
sp_d
female
I want to create a stored procedure which automtically updates gender from male to female and female to male
for all the rows . i.e., all the rows are updated for column gender by just running a stored procedure.
So after execution of stored proc the above table looks
Name Gender
sp_a
female
sp_b
male
sp_c
female
sp_d
