Trying to make an sql statement returning 'owner, tablename, num_rows, measuredate'

Hi, I would like to create a table with the following collumns:
"OWNER|TABLENAME|NUM_ROWS|MEASURE_DATE"
I can get owner, tablename and measure_date (sysdate) from
dba_tables easily with a
select owner, tablename, sysdate
from dba_tables
, but I am having trouble getting the num_rows for each table
seperately.
dba_tables.num_row is not an option because I am not running
statistics on this server and can't (rather: I am told not to.
So somehow I have to add the result of
select count(*) from " an individual table", dynamically.
But I am not sure how.
Eventually the table would have to look like:
JOHN EMP 433 12-JAN-01
JOHN EMP 476 12-JAN-01
MARGE LOC 198 13-JAN-01
All help is very much appreciated,
Mike

HI guy's !
Thanx for all the suggestions, I have tried them all out and its
almost there. However your suggestions display the output on the
screen and I would like to insert the rows into table so to be
able to readout table growth history. I tried to alter your
statements with a create table as select ( and here your plsql)
but this doesnt seem to work. I am sorry that I do not know
pl/sql. Can anyone assist me in completing the code with an
insert into a table?
Mohit Dubey: I am getting an ORA-00952 table or view does not
exist with your code, do I need to edit smth I overlooked?
Suresh: Your code works, but as mentioned above I would like to
get the code into table instead of on the screen, could you help
me with that? I apologize for not knowing plsql.
Barbara: Your code works fine, but it does an update on the
table. Therefore, I cannot query the history of the number of
rows tables. Could you change it to do an insert instead of an
update? I tried to but failed miserably.
Again; thanx all for your suggestions! Now I just need a final
push as I myself am unable to alter the codes into an insert
statement.

BIDS 2008 DataFlow viewer not showing even though the sql statement returns data

Have a dataflow and trying to see why no rows are being written to the destination. I popped a viewer on the connection, but it doesnt show up when I run. What can I check?
The DataFlow source runs a sql statement and it runs fine and returns a result.

Why would that be if I can execute the sql statement that is being used in the OLEDB Source, and I get a result, yet the destination gets no rows afterwards. Even executing the Dataflow task by itself, no rows are written.
I do have a script task that modifies the connection before the dataflow, but this was working fine yesterday :)
Even so, if there was a problem with the connection, I would get an error. There no no errors, it just sees no rows and the dataviewer is never displayed.
What the heck can I check?

Trying to tune a SQL statement

Please nee your help
The sql statement below works perfectly and speed fast
SELECT     0,

The sql statement below works perfectly and speed fastIf the query starts returning rows quickly (like from sql plus) that doesn't mean the entire query is fast.
If I have a 300 million row table and do: select * from huge_table, I will start seeing rows in an instant, but the full table scan takes far longer.

How to put the SQL-statement returned value into the field (as a default)

Hi,
I am using Developer/2000 (Forms Designer) under windows 98.
Please tell me how to put the SQL-statement value (as a default value) into the field before enter-query mode. Noted that I have tried the following ways but still some problems:-
1) Place the SQL-statement into PRE_QUERY trigger in the form/block level.
There is a message box which ask 'Do you want to save the changes?'.
2) Place the SQL-statement before execute enter_query. There is still a
message box which ask 'Do you want to save the changes?'.
Any hints? Thanks. Urgent.

solved it!
1) Suppress DEFAULT save message
if form_failure then
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
2) Place the default value before enter-query.
Ref: Title='Default value in query field in ENTER_QUERY mode' in designer forum by CVZ
form level trigger
============
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
=======================
if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
:block.item := 'default waarde';
end if;
3) Suppress the changes whenever leaving the default field.
if :block.item is null then
-- assign statement
end if;

Batching SQL Statements - Return Long Raw

I have been using the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle and have run into the following limitation.
I need to batch several SQL statements at one time and return a datareader (or another object) with those values. The .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle from Microsoft doesn't support batching up SQL statements in this manner. Additionally, the values I need to return include a LONGRAW field. From the research I've done PL-SQL can only return 32KB of data for a LONGRAW field if we were to try a different approach like using a stored procedure and a REF CURSOR.
My questions are:
1.) Will the ODP support batched SQL statements? For example, can I issue the following SQL statements and get a datareader?
Select field1, field2 from table1;
Select feild1, field2 from table2;
Select feild1, field2 from table3;
2.) Is there the 32 KB limitation on LONGRAW fields and PL-SQL in Oracle 8.1.7.2.0?
3.) Any suggestions?

1. With ODP.NET, you can batch your SQL statements using anonymous PL/SQL block. For example,
begin
open :1 for select * from emp;
open :2 for select * from dept;
open :3 for select col1 from test;
end;
You need to create three parameters with type OracleDbType.RefCursor and bind them as Output parameters. If you execute the above statement using OracleCommand's ExecuteNonQuery method, you would get three REF Cursors in the Value property of OracleParameter object. You can create an OracleDataReader or populate the Data Set using any or all of these REF Cursors in any order. If you execute the above statement using OracleCommand's ExecuteReader method, you would get OracleDataReader for the first REF Cursor and you would be able to get the OracleDataReader for other REF Cursors using OracleDataReader's NextResult method. Note that ODP.NET does not impose a limitation of closing the first OracleDataReader before opening the second one.
2. Long/Long Raw 32K limitation is imposed by PL/SQL and one way to bypass that limitation is to use LOBs instead. Having LOBs in the stored procedure or anonymous PL/SQL blocks allow you to access data upto 4GB.

SQL statement returning boolean?

Following a guide for querying Oracle databases in java and it suggests using this code to connect and get some select results:
Connection con=null;
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE","chat","chat");
Statement s=con.createStatement();
ResultSet results = s.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='kaligula' AND password='1234'");
But when i try and compile this it says:
Error(97,34): incompatible types; found: boolean, required: java.sql.ResultSet
Whats going wrong here?

Looking at the API
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/Statement.html
I see that execute returns a boolean. You want executeQuery

Select count(*) on sql statement returning zero when a matching row exists.

Our account has an ANSI C application that checks for the existence a row on an Oracle table(s) by using the following SQL:
int iCount = 0;
EXEC SQL
SELECT count(rownum) INTO :iCount
FROM sys.all_tab_columns
WHERE table_name IN
(SELECT table_name FROM
sys.all_synonyms
WHERE upper(synonym_name) = upper(:szDestTable))
AND upper(column_name) = upper(:szColumnName)
AND owner = 'DBAUSER';
The bind variables szDestTable and szColumnName are populated with values parsed from columns on another database table. This application is executed through out the day. Occasionally, the application will report a zero in the iCount when there should be a match. I have verified the szDestTable and szColumnName are populated with the correct values which would find a match and they are correct. To make matters even stranger, the application will parse the same input values and find a match (as it should). At some point during the day, and it can be at any time, the application will NOT find a match on the same file, same values. Every subsequent execution of this application will not find a match on the same values. Once the database is brought down and started up in the evening for its normal backups, the application will find a match again on the same values. This problem does not occur every day. I could be a week or a week and a half between incidents.
I printed the contents of the sqlca.sqqlerrm.sqlerrmc field to a log file. The sqlca.sqlerrm.sqlerrmc field reported an ORA-1405 bind variable was null when the iCount was reporting a zero. When I compiled this application, I set the Proc*C flag to UNSAFE_NULLS=yes since there are other bind variable in the application that can be NULL and that is ok.
The above SQL is compiled into the C application using the Proc*C compiler. It is compiled using the Oracle 11.2.0.2 libraries. The application is executed against an Oracle 11.2.0.2 database. The database and application are executed on an HP/Unix 11.31 platform.
This problem did not start occurring until our account went from Oracle 10.2 to Oracle 11.2. Recently, I have changed the SQL to perform a “SELECT COUNT(rownum)” instead of the “SELECT COUNT(*)”. I compiled the application and executed the new application with the SELECT COUNT(rownum) against the same database where the same application with the SELECT COUNT(*) was failing to find a row that actually existed. The application with the SELECT COUNT(rownum) found the matching row as it should have. The new application has been executing in production for about 10 days now without any problems against ten various Oracle 11.2 databases.
Why would SELECT COUNT(*) and SELECT COUNT(rownum) be any different?

SQL History - returning wrong statement if history is sorted

I have searched the forum and not seen anything on this, but I have been getting the wrong SQL statement returned when I select Append/Replace.
I have statements going back to 12-Jan-06 (using 804 since 13-Jan-06, 796 since 12-Jan-06 and 715 last year), so I don't know if I have hit the aging limit or not (I think I counted 221 entries).
It seems to me that it works out the cursor position and then returns that statement number from the history - independently of resorting the history.
For example, if I sort from oldest to newest (based on timestamp) and then select the bottom statement (displays as newest) and Replace, I get the oldest statement in the worksheet. If I select the top statement (displays as oldest) and Replace, I get the newest statement in the worksheet.
This is further complicated by the fact that sorting on the Timestamp is doing an alpha-numeric sort, rather than a date sort. When sorting from oldest to newest, the bottom three timestamps are (in "oldest to newest" order) are:
1/23/06 10:58 AM
1/23/06 9:21 AM
1/23/06 9:31 AM
If I then remove the sorting, the statement returned is the correct one.

It was great to get the fix for the SQL History returning the right statement if sorted (we got it in v1184).
However v1215 still does a text sort on the TimeStamp column rather than a date sort, so 2PM comes before 9AM, etc.
Also, where is the format for the TimeStamp column coming from? As someone who doesn't live in the US and thinks that days should come before months in date formats (ie DD-Mon-YYYY), I am frustrated by yet another product that uses MM/DD/YY, despite my best efforts at telling it otherwise.

Using a Bind Variable in the FROM part of a SQL Statement?

Hello Everyone,
I have a problem, I am trying to run an SQL statement. However I need the FROM part of the SQL statement to be a bind variable. This is because the end user will need to select between 2 database views.
I have tried this:
select CON_ID from :P23_DB_NAME where CON_LEGACY_ID=:P23_CONLEG_NO
I had no luck. The error i got was,
"+Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is
syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the
region source to proceed without parsing.
ORA-00903: invalid table name+"
Which makes sence, but now I am a bit stuck.
Does anyone have any ideas as to get around this problem?
Thanks in Advance.
-N.S.N.O.

The example I gave you is quite simple. You need to take some time to study it to see where you need be carefull what you put where. Now, your example of course doesn't work becaues you have several errors. This will work for you:
DECLARE
   x   VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
   x := x || 'SELECT CON_ID FROM ';
   x := x || :p23_db_name;
   x := x || ' WHERE CON_LEGACY_ID = ' || :p23_conleg_no;
   RETURN (x);

My sql client version is 9.2.0.1.0. and my data base version is 10.2.0.2.0.
Please advice.

Could you post the exception handler within the function.
It sounds like you return -1 if you experience an error - it would be easier to determine the cause of the problem if you return the Oracle error details, E.g:
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN dbms_utility.format_error_backtrace;This will then return a meaningful error, identifying exactly what is causing the error to be generated.

PL SQL using variable in SQL statement

I am trying to execute several sql statements, that have the same format but different values. Does this
mean I need a bind variable?
ie
select TO_CHAR ( (SYSDATE - 2), 'YYYY_MM_DD') from dual
select TO_CHAR ( (SYSDATE - 4), 'YYYY_MM_DD') from dual
select to_char(add_months(sysdate,-2*1) from dual
When I try to put the values into a varaiable (date, varchar2 or number) I am getting a conversion
error.
Can somebody show me an example of how to do something like this? Or at least point me to the correct
part of the documentation that provides and example. Pardon my syntax as I know it is incorrect
val :=add_months(sysdate,-2*1
select to_char(val) from dual
Thanks in advance to all who answer

I don't see where you're trying to use any varibables at all in your examples. Is it in place of the literals, such as 2 or 'YYYY_MM_DD'? You can use either bind varibales or PL/SQL variables in those places.
ie
select TO_CHAR ( (SYSDATE - 2), 'YYYY_MM_DD') from dual
select TO_CHAR ( (SYSDATE - 4), 'YYYY_MM_DD') from dual
select to_char(add_months(sysdate,-2*1) from dualIn PL/SQL, when you have a SELECT statement, you must specify what you want to do with the results. For example, a SELECT ... INTO statement:
SELECT AVG (sal)
INTO    avg_salary
FROM    scott.emp;There's usually no point in SELECTing from dual in PL/SQL. It's not an error, but it's simpler just to use an assignment statement.
When I try to put the values into a varaiable (date, varchar2 or number) I am getting a conversion
error.Post a complete procedure or anonymous block, including variable declarations, that shows exactly what you're trying to do.
>

val :=add_months(sysdate,-2*1Assuming val is a DATE, that's basically correct. You have unbalanced parentheses (there's a '(', but no matching ')' ), and you need a semicolon (';') at the end of the statement. Perhaps ');' just got cut off when you were posting this.
select to_char(val) from dualAgain, SELECTing from dual is unnecessary, but if you had some way to catch the returned value, that would work.
Usually, the reason why you need to call TO_CHAR is that you want a value in a particular format, which is specified in the 2nd argument to TO_CHAR. Calling TO_CHAR with only one argument is a possible mistake, but not something that would raise an error.
Here's an example that works:
SET     SERVEROUTPUT     ON
DECLARE
     d     DATE;
     v     VARCHAR2 (30);
BEGIN
     d := ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, -2);          -- -2 = (-2*1)
     v := TO_CHAR (d, 'DD-Mon-YYYY');
     dbms_output.put_line (v || ' = v');
END;

SQL statement in servlet

public synchronized Product GetProductItem (int productid) throws CategoryException
    Statement stmt = null;
      stmt = conn.createStatement();
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select c.CategoryName, p.ProductName from category_product cp inner join category c on cp.CategoryID = c.CategoryID inner join product p on cp.ProductID = ?");
        Product p = new Product();
        p.setCategoryName(rs.getString("CategoryName"));
     p.setProductName(rs.getString("ProductName"));
}How can I make the SQL statement to get the int parameter productid? As I want to show the particular product with it's own id.
And, how can I display the product detail for that product? How can I show it as an object?

I don't think your code will work. Don't you have to call next() on the ResultSet to advance the cursor to the first row? What if your query returns more than one row?
In either case, I think your code should look more like this:
ResultSet rs = ...;
List products = new ArrayList(); // Or something else
while (rs.next())
   Product p = new Product();
   // Set the values from the ResultSet
   products.add(p);
rs.close();
statement.close();Once you've got those, you can either pass Product to a JSP and have it display the values or you can write the HTML response to the browser from the servlet. I'd go with JSP myself. - MOD

Need help on coverting sql statement to NamedQueries

hi, all,
I have a problem on converting the following SQL statement returning last 10 records from an Oracle database.
The SQL statement is as followings:
select * from (select * from TABLE1 where ATT1 = 1 order by ATT2 desc) where rownum<11
However, how should I convert this statement into NamedQuery?
Thanks.

Will the following SQL return the same set of rows for you:
select * from TABLE1 where ATT1 = 1 order by ATT2 desc limit 1,10
If so, that query is a lot easier to convert.
I've never tried to convert a subquery into a NamedQuery. The problem is that you're not just converting to named query, but you're also changing from SQL to EJBQL, and they don't map directly even though the semantics are similar.

Group by sql statement is not sorted.

execut sql statement include group by clause in a oci program, the result is not sorted.
I don't know why..
in SqlPlus, same sql statement return sorted data.
SELECT A.SHOP_ID,A.RESALE_TYPE,
SUM(A.DEAL_AMT,0) DEAL_AMT
FROM SHOP_ACC A, CD_TAB C
WHERE A.RESALE_TYPE = C.CD(+)
AND C.GB = 'AB'
AND A.ACC_M = :s_AccMonth
AND DEAL_GB='FOD'
GROUP BY A.SHOP_ID,A.RESALE_TYPE
But, RESALE_TYPE is outer join on CD_TAB..
if remove outer join between CD_TAB and SHOP_ACC,
sql statement is return sorted result.
and if modify the column RESALE_TYPE like
RESALE_TYPE||']' or NVL(RESALE_TYPE,'AAA')
return sorted result..
please help..
thanks for your kind.

thank you.. for reply..
I knew that order by clause make to sort.
but, using group by clause alone in SQL statement, that return sorted results too.
I was found a fault that outer join table CD_TAB column of one is not symbloc "(+)" in SQL statement
SELECT A.SHOP_ID,A.RESALE_TYPE,
SUM(A.DEAL_AMT,0) DEAL_AMT
FROM SHOP_ACC A, CD_TAB C
WHERE A.RESALE_TYPE = C.CD(+)
AND C.GB = 'AB' <----------- AND C.GB(+) = 'AB'
AND A.ACC_M = :s_AccMonth
AND DEAL_GB='FOD'
GROUP BY A.SHOP_ID,A.RESALE_TYPE
I want to know that why in other application - such as SqlPlus or SqlGate and ..etc. - this fault was ignore.. but OCI application such as my application programs is not ignore.. and is not sorted..
thank you..
