Use of pl/sql tables in bulk binding

DECLARE
TYPE idtab IS TABLE OF NUMBER(4) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
vid idtab; --:=idtab(3,4,56,8,53);
BEGIN
vid := idtab(3,4,56,8,53);
FORALL i IN vid.first .. vid.last
       INSERT INTO TEST VALUES (vid(i));
END;when executing this code it gives me error pls-00222 no function with name idtab
however the same code without INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER ...... works just fine.
Can someone please explain why ??
DECLARE
TYPE idtab IS TABLE OF NUMBER(4);
vid idtab; --:=idtab(3,4,56,8,53);
BEGIN
vid := idtab(3,4,56,8,53);
FORALL i IN vid.first .. vid.last
       INSERT INTO TEST VALUES (vid(i));
END;

The INDEX BY BINARY INTEGER version of the array doesn't have a constructor (it has the advantage of allowing sparseness, not needing to be manually extended etc).
So you'd need to do
vid(1) := 3;
vid(2) := 4;
etc

  • Using PL/SQL Table in Forms

    Hi,
    I am populating a PL/SQL table by fetching data through a explicit cursor. But when i am accessing the PL/SQL table after population, i am getting a "NO DATA FOUND" error.
    I am attaching the Forms local progam units which have the logic.

    But we have to use the PL/SQL table as per our design standards.
    We are implementing the population logic of the PL/SQL table in the database as a
    package function. We are then accessing the PL/SQL table in Forms to populate the record group.It is curious that you would have such a unique requirement -- something that might make forms run a tiny bit faster -- yet you are using an ancient version of Forms.
    Also the "NO DATA FOUND" error is not raised everytime the PL/SQL table is accessed.
    What could be the reason for this erratic behaviour?I wonder if there may be a bug in SQL Net in the Oracle-to-Forms communication where PL/SQL tables are passed as out parameters. I know there is one in Web Forms 6 (6.0.8.19.1) when passing a pl/sql table from the form to Oracle -- I had to write the pl/sql table to a database table to get my process to work.

  • Can a PL/SQL table Object Type be used in a VO?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use a PL/SQL table object type to provide data to a View Object? In short, I would like to be able to do something like this:
    1. Create record object:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE xx_rec_type AS OBJECT
    (xxid NUMBER,
    xxdesc varchar2(10),
    xxcost number...);
    2. Create table object:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE xx_tbl_type AS TABLE OF xx_rec_type;
    3. Declare and populate the object in PL/SQL package:
    xx_tbl xx_tbl_type;
    xx_tbl(i).xxid := 1;
    xx_tbl(i).xxdesc := 'XXX';
    xx_tbl(i).xxcost := 10.00;
    4. Create a View Object as:
    SELECT * FROM xx_tbl
    Is it even possible to access xx_tbl from View Object? If anyone has done something like this, please do share.
    TIA
    Alka

    A PL/SQL procedure can exist in Oracle DB, in TimesTen, or in both. You control that by where you create the procedure. Procedures that exist in Oracle can really only be called in Oracle and can only access data in Oracle. Procedures that exist in TimesTen can only be called in TimesTen and can only access data in TimesTen. There is a limited capability, using the TimesTen PassThrough capability to call PL/SQL procedures located in Oracle, from Timesten, and for Timesten PL/SQL procedures to access data in Oracle. Using PassThrough does have some overhead.

  • Huge memory leaks in using PL/SQL tables and collections

    I have faced a very interesting problem recently.
    I use PL/SQL tables ( Type TTab is table of ... index by binary_integer; ) and collections ( Type TTab is table of ...; ) in my packages very widely. And have noticed avery strange thing Oracle does. It seems to me that there are memory leaks in PGA when I use PL/SQL tables or collections. Let me a little example.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE rds_mdt_test IS
    TYPE TNumberList IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER);
    END rds_mdt_test;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY rds_mdt_test IS
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
    x TNumberList;
    BEGIN
    FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x(indx) := indx;
    END LOOP;
    END;
    END rds_mdt_test;
    I run the following test code:
    BEGIN
    rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table (1000000);
    END;
    and see that my session uses about 40M in PGA.
    If I repeat this example in the same session creating the PL/SQL table of smaller size, for instance:
    BEGIN
    rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table (1);
    END;
    I see again that the size of used memory in PGA by my session was not decreased and still be the same.
    The same result I get if I use not PL/SQL tables, but collections or varrays.
    I have tried some techniques to make Oracle to free the memory, for instance to rewrite my procedure in the following ways:
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
    x TNumberList;
    BEGIN
    FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x(indx) := indx;
    END LOOP;
    x.DELETE;
    END;
    or
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
    x TNumberList;
    BEGIN
    FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x(indx) := indx;
    END LOOP;
    FOR indx in 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x.DELETE(indx);
    END LOOP;
    END;
    or
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
    x TNumberList;
    empty TNumberList;
    BEGIN
    FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x(indx) := indx;
    END LOOP;
    x := empty;
    END;
    and so on, but result was the same.
    This is a huge problem for me as I have to manipulate collections and PL/SQL tables of very big size (from dozens of thousand of rows to millions or rows) and just a few sessions running my procedure may cause server's fall due to memory lack.
    I can not understand what Oracle reseveres such much memory for (I use local variables) -- is it a bug or a feature?
    I will be appreciated for any help.
    I use Oracle9.2.0.1.0 server under Windows2000.
    Thank you in advance.
    Dmitriy.

    Thank you, William!
    Your advice about using DBMS_SESSION.FREE_UNUSED_USER_MEMORY was very useful. Indeed it is the tool I was looking for.
    Now I write my code like this
    declare
    type TTab is table of ... index binary_integer;
    res TTab;
    empty_tab TTab;
    begin
    res(1) := ...;
    res := empty_tab;
    DBMS_SESSION.FREE_UNUSED_USER_MEMORY;
    end;
    I use construction "res := empty_tab;" to mark all memory allocated to PL/SQL table as unused according to Tom Kyte's advices. And I could live a hapy life if everything were so easy. Unfortunately, some tests I have done showed that there are some troubles in cleaning complex nested PL/SQL tables indexed by VARCHAR2 which I use in my current project.
    Let me another example.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE rds_mdt_test IS
    TYPE TTab0 IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    TYPE TRec1 IS RECORD(
    NAME VARCHAR2(4000),
    rows TTab0);
    TYPE TTab1 IS TABLE OF TRec1 INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    TYPE TRec2 IS RECORD(
    NAME VARCHAR2(4000),
    rows TTab1);
    TYPE TTab2 IS TABLE OF TRec2 INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    TYPE TStrTab IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER);
    PROCEDURE test_str_tab(cnt INTEGER);
    x TTab2;
    empty_tab2 TTab2;
    empty_tab1 TTab1;
    empty_tab0 TTab0;
    str_tab TStrTab;
    empty_str_tab TStrTab;
    END rds_mdt_test;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY rds_mdt_test IS
    PROCEDURE test_plsql_table(cnt INTEGER) IS
    BEGIN
    FOR indx1 IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    FOR indx2 IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    FOR indx3 IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    x(indx1) .rows(indx2) .rows(indx3) := indx1;
    END LOOP;
    END LOOP;
    END LOOP;
    x := empty_tab2;
    dbms_session.free_unused_user_memory;
    END;
    PROCEDURE test_str_tab(cnt INTEGER) IS
    BEGIN
    FOR indx IN 1 .. cnt LOOP
    str_tab(indx) := indx;
    END LOOP;
    str_tab := empty_str_tab;
    dbms_session.free_unused_user_memory;
    END;
    END rds_mdt_test;
    1. Running the script
    BEGIN
    rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table ( 100 );
    END;
    I see that usage of PGA memory in my session is close to zero. So, I can judge that nested PL/SQL table indexed by BINARY_INTEGER and the memory allocated to it were cleaned successfully.
    2. Running the script
    BEGIN
    rds_mdt_test.test_str_tab ( 1000000 );
    END;
    I can see that plain PL/SQL table indexed by VARCHAR2 and memory allocated to it were cleaned also.
    3. Changing the package's type
    TYPE TTab2 IS TABLE OF TRec2 INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
    and running the script
    BEGIN
    rds_mdt_test.test_plsql_table ( 100 );
    END;
    I see that my session uses about 62M in PGA. If I run this script twice, the memory usage is doubled and so on.
    The same result I get if I rewrite not highest, but middle PL/SQL type:
    TYPE TTab1 IS TABLE OF TRec1 INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
    And only if I change the third, most nested type:
    TYPE TTab0 IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY VARCHAR2(256);
    I get the desired result -- all memory was returned to OS.
    So, as far as I can judge, in some cases Oracle does not clean complex PL/SQL tables indexed by VARCHAR2.
    Is it true or not? Perhaps there are some features in using such way indexed tables?

    The data structure is called an array. A table in Oracle has a very specific meaning. It is a hash or index table. Can be partitioned. Clustered. Indexed. Etc.
    A PL/SQL array is NOTHING at all like a table.
    The second Question is How can show(Retrieve query) only one element in SQL
    SUCH AS
    SELECT ID from PL/SQL Table Name;And this is almost always WRONG. As you are sending (a potentially large) array that resides in PL/SQL memory as a bind variable to the SQL engine, in order for the array's contents to be processed. Why?
    Why not simply use a (proper SQL) table and not array? A table that can be indexed. That was made for running SQL against? That can take billions of rows without exhausting server memory.
    If you are using SQL against a PL/SQL array, you are basically saying "+I have made the wrong choice for processing this data+". Yes, there are exceptions to this. But exceptions are just that - exceptions.
    So why are you using a PL/SQL array? Why do you need to use SQL against it and duplicate the array's contents as bind values? Why does SET operations in PL/SQL not suffice?

  • LOOP inside FORALL in bulk binding

    Can I use a loop inside forall in bulk bind updates?
    as I understand, forall statement strictly loops through the length of the bulk limit size for the immediately following statement only.
    I am attempting to use a loop there to update more than one table.
    cursor c is select id from temp where dt_date > sysdate-30;
    BEGIN
    loop
    fetch c into v_id;
    limit 1000;
    forall i in 1..v_id.count
    UPDATE table_one set new_id = v_id(i);
    exit when C%NOTFOUND;
    end loop;
    end;
    I want to update another table table_two also immediately after updating table_one like this:
    forall i in 1..v_id.count
    UPDATE table_one set new_id = v_id(i);
    BEGIN select nvl(code,'N/A') into v_code from T_CODES where ID_NO = v_id(i); EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND v_code='N/A'; END;
    UPDATE table_two set new_code =v_code;
    exit when C% not found.
    This is not working and when I run it, I get an error saying encountered BEGIN when one of the following is expected.
    I got around this by having another FOR loop just to set up the values in another array variable and using that value in another second forall loop to update table_two.
    Is there any way to do this multiple table udpates in bulkbinding under one forall loop that would enable to do some derivation/calculation if needed among variables [not array variables, regular datatype variables].
    Can we have like
    forall j in 1.. v_id.count
    LOOP
    update table 1;
    derive values for updating table 2;
    update table 2;
    END LOOP;
    Thank You.

    Well, without questioning reasions why do you want this, you are confusing bulk select and forall. You need:
    begin
        loop
          fetch c bulk collect into v_id limit 1000;
          exit when v_id.count = 0;
          forall i in 1..v_id.count
            UPDATE table_one set new_id = v_id(i);
        end loop;
    end;

  • PL/SQL table type in Forms 4.5

    Hi
    I am trying to use a pl/sql table type variable in Oracle forms 4.5 . I am able to compile this and run it on the database that the application connects to but in forms , it gives me a compilation error.
    Is there some restriction on using this datatype in forms 4.5
    Following is the syntax I am using:
    TYPE block_list_type IS TABLE of VARCHAR2(200) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    block_list block_list_type;
    I get fatal syntax error even though the syntax is correct(checked it on the database).
    please let me know if I am doing something wrong.
    thanks a lot

    That explains it!!
    Thanks. My company is on oracle 10.7 and is too reluctant to move to higher versions. They finally bought I2 and are developing their own custom java applications and will phase out 10.7 but are not willing to move to the next version of Oracle !!
    Seems like they are done with Oracle .
    thanks for the input anyways.

  • Pl/sql table(reports)

    HI
    please help me to create a Query using a PL/SQL Table.I want to use the query builder for it, but i don't see the pl/sql table, but i can see all the database tables.I am new to reports, and all of my efforts are in vain.

    SELECT FROM PL/SQL TABLE IN ORACLE REPORTS 6I
    The requirement is to populate a table and then select from that table in a report. The typical solution is to
    populate a database table, but for situations where that is undesirable there is a way to select from a PL/SQL
    table.
    For example - for each employee we want to populate a PL/SQL table and then select from that table.
    I used the following records in the emp table:
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(123,'Bob','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(321,'Sue','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(234,'Mary','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(623,'Joe','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(621,'Jim','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(634,'Jane','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
    INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(723,'Fred','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);

    TYPE t_rec IS RECORD (
    field1 NUMBER(6),
    field2 VARCHAR2(30));
    TYPE t_tab IS TABLE OF t_rec INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    gv_tab t_tab;
    FUNCTION populate (
    p_empno NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER;
    END;
    Step 2: Create the package body:
    PACKAGE BODY pkg_table IS
    FUNCTION populate (
    p_empno NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
    BEGIN
         gv_tab.DELETE;
         -- populate table as required - for demo purposes put in anything
         FOR lv_ind IN 1..MOD(p_empno,20) LOOP
              gv_tab(lv_ind).field1 := lv_ind;
              gv_tab(lv_ind).field2 := 'row '||TO_CHAR(lv_ind)||' for emp '||TO_CHAR(p_empno);
         END LOOP;
         RETURN gv_tab.COUNT;
    END populate;
    END;
    Step 3: Create the master query:
    SELECT empno,
    ename
    FROM emp
    Step 4: Add a formula column CF_populate to the master query that does:
    function CF_populateFormula return Number is
    -- for each emp fetched this formula will repopulate the PL/SQL table
    -- and return the number of records in the table
    begin
    return pkg_table.populate(:empno);
    end;
    Step 5: Create the detail query:
    -- we need to join this to the master and then ensure that for each
    -- empno there are as many records fetched as there will be
    -- records in the PL/SQL table
    SELECT e1.empno,rownum
    FROM emp e1, emp e2, emp e3
    WHERE rownum <= :CF_populate
    Step 6: Add formula columns to the detail query for each of the fields in the
    PL/SQL table we want to display:
    CF_Field1:
    function CF_field1Formula return Number is
    begin
    return pkg_table.gv_tab(:rownum).field1;
    end;
    CF_Field2:
    function CF_field2Formula return Varchar2 is
    begin
    return pkg_table.gv_tab(:rownum).field2;
    end;
    Step 7: Create the repeating frame and layout items to display the formula columns.
    =============================================================================================
    The same technique can be used to populate a master query. In a report level formula column
    CF_Populate populate the PL/SQL table as required. In the master query we just need the rownum:
    SELECT rownum
    FROM emp, emp, emp
    WHERE rownum <= :CF_Populate
    Add the formula columns to display Field1 and Field2.

  • Please find solution for this problem ...pl/sql table problem

    Hi
    I am using forms 6i. Now i am having a form to insert purpose. which contain 70 fields to enter. that is there are 10 screens contain 10 fields each. Each screen contains two buttons 'next' and 'previousscreen'. Now what my problem is after entering the 20 fields and i am entering 27th field in 3rd screen i noticed that i did a mistake in 2nd field value which is in 2nd screen. when i moved from third scrren to first screen by using pushbutton previous screen. all data in second and third screen has gone. For this i used a pl/sql table and put the code in 'nextscreen' button. the code is
    declare
    type emptabtype is table of :emp%rowtype
    index by binary_integer;
    emptab emptabtype;
    begin
    insert into emptab values(:emp.eno,:emp.ename.....so on);
    commit;
    end;
    The above is the approach i used. but not successful. Is the approach followed by me is correct (I strongly believe that some mistake is there). If not, pls tell me what to do for my problem. What my ultimate requirement is i should not loss the data entered in the fields even when i modify any data on any screen.
    I hope you people understand my problem
    Thanks in Advance,
    bigginner in forms
    prasanth a.s.

    Hi there,
    I have a form which has over 150 fields (from 4 tables). I have used a tab-canvas form to handle all the input - 2 screens for the fields from the first table and 1 screen each for the remaining 3 tables. I can navigate between the tabs without trouble. When everything is done, the contents of the screens are saved to the database via a menu item. Most of the fields are database items.
    My point is that Oracle Form has no problems in handling
    such processing and I am only using its normal default capabilities.
    What type of canvas are you using? There should be no reason to use buttons to navigate betweeen screens if you are using a tab-canvas form. You should not have to use PL/SQL table to handle the data if the fields are normal database columns.
    Regards,
    John

  • SQL Bulk Update using Update query in SQL Table

    Hello All,
    I want to update data in sql table depends on some condition.
    I am getting excel sheet from client and want to change value of field say Status = c.
    Client is sending excel sheet with 300 field and want to change value for all 300 records with unique fields (field1 and field2) comming in that excel sheet...
    How can i write and update records as Bulk.
    Instaed updating one one recors ?
    Example ( Update Table_Name Set Status = 'c' Where Field1 = Value from Excel for Field1 and
    Field2 = Value from Excel for Field2 )
    Same needs to do for 300 records...
    Any help will wellcome.
    Thanks,
    Nilesh....
    Thanks and Regards, Nilesh Thakur.

    you can use OPENROWSET for that
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1540/insert-update-or-delete-data-in-sql-server-from-excel/
    Another way is to use SSIS with data flow task having Excel source connecting to excel and using OLEDB command to update rows in table using it. You may also use staging table to get data from excel and later use it inexecute sql task to update your table
    to make update set based which would be faster.

  • Dynamic SQL and Bulk Bind... Interesting Problem !!!

    Hi Forum !!
    I've got a very interesting problem involving Dynamic SQL and Bulk Bind. I really Hope you guys have some suggestions for me...
    Table A contains a column named TX_FORMULA. There are many strings holding expressions like '.3 * 2 + 1.5' or '(3.4 + 2) / .3', all well formed numeric formulas. I want to calculate each formula, finding the number obtained as a result of each calculation.
    I wrote something like this:
    DECLARE
    TYPE T_FormulasNum IS TABLE OF A.TX_FORMULA%TYPE
    INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    TYPE T_MontoIndicador IS TABLE OF A.MT_NUMBER%TYPE
    INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    V_FormulasNum T_FormulasNum;
    V_MontoIndicador T_MontoIndicador;
    BEGIN
    SELECT DISTINCT CD_INDICADOR,
    TX_FORMULA_NUMERICA
    BULK COLLECT INTO V_CodIndicador, V_FormulasNum
    FROM A;
    FORALL i IN V_FormulasNum.FIRST..V_FormulasNum.LAST
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
    'BEGIN
    :1 := TO_NUMBER(:2);
    END;'
    USING V_FormulasNum(i) RETURNING INTO V_MontoIndicador;
    END;
    But I'm getting the following messages:
    ORA-06550: line 22, column 43:
    PLS-00597: expression 'V_MONTOINDICADOR' in the INTO list is of wrong type
    ORA-06550: line 18, column 5:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    ORA-06550: line 18, column 5:
    PLS-00435: DML statement without BULK In-BIND cannot be used inside FORALL
    Any Idea to solve this problem ?
    Thanks in Advance !!

    Hallo,
    many many errors...
    1. You can use FORALL only in DML operators, in your case you must use simple FOR LOOP.
    2. You can use bind variables only in DML- Statements. In other statements you have to use literals (hard parsing).
    3. RETURNING INTO - Clause in appropriate , use instead of OUT variable.
    4. Remark: FOR I IN FIRST..LAST is not fully correct: if you haven't results, you get EXCEPTION NO_DATA_FOUND. Use Instead of 1..tab.count
    This code works.
    DECLARE
    TYPE T_FormulasNum IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(255)
    INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    TYPE T_MontoIndicador IS TABLE OF NUMBER
    INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    V_FormulasNum T_FormulasNum;
    V_MontoIndicador T_MontoIndicador;
    BEGIN
    SELECT DISTINCT CD_INDICATOR,
    TX_FORMULA_NUMERICA
    BULK COLLECT INTO V_MontoIndicador, V_FormulasNum
    FROM A;
    FOR i IN 1..V_FormulasNum.count
    LOOP
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
    'BEGIN
    :v_motto := TO_NUMBER('||v_formulasnum(i)||');
    END;'
    USING OUT V_MontoIndicador(i);
    dbms_output.put_line(v_montoindicador(i));
    END LOOP;
    END;You have to read more about bulk- binding and dynamic sql.

  • Error Message - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk Bind: Trunc

    This is driving me nuts!
    I am getting this error from OWB during a mapping process.
    I have checked the input data and it looks fine.
    The run time audit browser just lists all of the steps but does not make it clear which one failed. Is it the last one which is shown (does not have HIDE as selection link.)
    I also tried to determine which row was causing the problem and followed the instructions at http://www.nicholasgoodman.com/bt/blog/2005/07/, but no row_id was recorded in the views. In actual fact there wasn't very much audit info other than that the mapping ran and was complete (even though it failed).
    In the error message section it has, in order
    Map Step - blank
    Rowkey - 35204435256
    Severity - X
    Error Message - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk Bind: Truncated Bind
    Object Name - N/A
    Object Column - *
    From the PL/SQL error I thought it may be trying to insert into a data field that was too small, but all of the columns that are used are full of data of length shorter than all of the target tables.
    I have even started running the cursors in the generated PLSQL but I don't get the error by doing this.
    Thanks in advance for any tips at all.

    Thanks for the response.
    I managed to work it out and it had to do with the selection criteria of one of the filters.
    For anyone else facing this error, check to see if any of the rows being inserted has the same key/identifier as some existing in the target table. If so add an extra condition to the where clause.
    This worked for me.

    Hi there,
    Following is the description of the error, you are getting.
    ORA-06502:VALUE_ERROR
    An arithmetic, conversion, truncation, or size-constraint error occurs. For example, when your program selects a column value into a character variable, if the value is longer than the declared length of the variable, PL/SQL aborts the assignment and raises VALUE_ERROR. In procedural statements, VALUE_ERROR is raised if the conversion of a character string into a number fails. (In SQL statements, INVALID_NUMBER is raised.)
    Hopefully this will help.

  • Pass Pl/sql table into USING clause in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statment

    Getting error when I try to pass the PL/SQL table into USING clause in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statment:
    Declare
    result NUMBER;
    TYPE values_tab IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    lv_tab values_tab;
    lv_exp varchar2(300);
    lv_exec varchar2(300);
    BEGIN
    lv_tab(1) := 5;
    lv_tab(2) := 48;
    lv_tab(3) := 7;
    lv_tab(4) := 6;
    lv_exp := ':b1+:b2+(:b3*:b4)';
    lv_exec := 'SELECT '||lv_exp ||' FROM DUAL';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
    lv_exec

    result
    USING

    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(result);
    END;
    Error at line 1
    ORA-06550: line 20, column 12:
    PLS-00457: expressions have to be of SQL types
    ORA-06550: line 15, column 8:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    I am trying to evaluate the expression ":b1+:b2+(:b3*:b4)" which is stored in table. This table has different expressions (around 300 expressions). I want to use the bind variables in expression because each expression evaluated thousand of time may be more in some case. If I don't use bind variable then it fill shared pool.
    Is there any way I can pass the USING (IN) parameters dynamically instead of writing "USING lv_tab(1), lv_tab(2), lv_tab(3), lv_tab(4)"? As number of input parameters change depend on the expression in the table.
    If not possible please suggest any other ideas/approches
    Please help..

    Well, you keep changing reqs faster I can keep up. Anyway, assuming N-th bind variable (left-to-right) corresponds to collection N-th element:
    Declare
        result NUMBER;
        lv_tab values_tab := values_tab();
        lv_exp varchar2(300);
        lv_exec varchar2(300);
        lv_i number := 0;
    BEGIN
        lv_tab.extend(4);
        lv_tab(1) := 5;
        lv_tab(2) := 48;
        lv_tab(3) := 7;
        lv_tab(4) := 6;
        lv_exp := ':5000135+:5403456+(:5900111*:5200456)';
        lv_exec := lv_exp;
        While regexp_like(lv_exec,':\d+') loop
          lv_i := lv_i + 1;
          lv_exec := REGEXP_REPLACE(lv_exec,':\d+',':b(' || lv_i || ')',1,1);
        end loop;
        lv_exec := 'BEGIN :a := ' || lv_exec || '; END;';
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(lv_exec);
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE lv_exec USING OUT result,IN lv_tab;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(result);
    END;
    BEGIN :a := :b(1)+:b(2)+(:b(3)*:b(4)); END;
