Using Bind Variable in a SELECT

Hi,
I'm trying to build up my SQL query at run-time using bind variables and in the Oracle® Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) it says that 'After defining the bind variables, the next step is to reference them in the SQL statement. While SQL syntax allows bind variables to appear both in the SELECT list and in the WHERE clause, you'll typically use them in the latter context, as part of your WHERE clause.'.
However, when I try to use the bind variables in my SELECT list because I've had to set a type for the variable to String the variable gets inserted with inverted commas either side e.g. SELECT 'Service' FROM TestTable. Is it possible to use bind variables to insert a value into my select list without these inverted commas around it?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

OK, thanks for your response. Do you know of a way then where I can control my SELECT parameters programmatically? I'm currently trying to do it using the information in the chapter '35.9 Using Programmatic View Objects for Alternative Data Sources' from the Oracle® Fusion Middleware Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). I think I'm part way there, would this be the correct way of acheiving what I want?
Cheers, Tom

How to use bind variable in this select statement

Hi,
I have created this procedure where table name and fieldname is variable as they vary, therefore i passed them as parameter. This procedure will trim leading (.) if first five char is '.THE''. The procedure performs the required task. I want to make select statement with bind variable is there any possibility to use a bind variable in this select statement.
the procedure is given below:
create or replace procedure test(tablename in varchar2, fieldname IN varchar2)
authid current_user
is
type poicurtype is ref cursor;
poi_cur poicurtype;
sqlst varchar2(250);
THEVALUE NUMBER;
begin
     sqlst:='SELECT EMPNO FROM '||TABLENAME||' WHERE SUBSTR('||FIELDNAME||',1,5)=''.THE ''';
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLST);
OPEN POI_CUR FOR SQLST ;
LOOP
     FETCH POI_CUR INTO THEVALUE;
          EXIT WHEN POI_CUR%NOTFOUND;
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(THEVALUE);
          SQLST:='UPDATE '||TABLENAME|| ' SET '||FIELDNAME||'=LTRIM('||FIELDNAME||',''.'')';
          SQLST:=SQLST|| ' WHERE EMPNO=:X';
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLST);
               EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQLST USING THEVALUE;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END TEST;
Best Regards,

So you want to amend each row individually? Is there some reason you're trying to make this procedure run as slow as possible?
create or replace procedure test (tablename in varchar2, fieldname in varchar2)
authid current_user
is
   sqlst      varchar2 (250);
   thevalue   number := 1234;
begin
   sqlst := 'update ' || tablename || ' set ' || fieldname || '= ltrim(' || fieldname || ',''.'') where substr(' || fieldname
      || ',1,5) = ''.THE ''';
   dbms_output.put_line (sqlst);
   execute immediate sqlst;
end test;will update every row that satisfies the criteria in a single statement. If there are 10 rows that start with '.THE ' then it will update 10 rows.

Report Using Bind Variables

Hey Everyone,
I'm having a bit of trouble creating a report. I need the FROM part of the code to use bind variables. I have come up with this peice of code below but im getting the following error:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 8:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following:

The symbol "" was ignored.
ORA-06550: line 2, column 24:

Can anyone see where im going wrong?

Hey Roel and Daylocks,
After getting frustrated for a while i deleted the page and started again. I put in the exact same code and it worked just how i wanted in the first place :S
The only thing i did different is when i was creating the report region the first time around i used a normal SQL query, For Example:
select sysdate from dual;
Then i modified it to
DECLARE
x VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
x := x || 'select ';*
x := x || 'from ';
x := x || :p14_schema;
x := x || '.ddl_log@';
x := x || :p14_db_name;
x := x || '_DBAAPEX.TNTEWW.COM';
RETURN (x);
END;
Whereas on the second attempt i used the peice of code in question straight away. Its been a bit of a frustrating morning because i used a similar peice of code for a different application, nevermind tho :)
Thanks for your replys, much appreciated.

Query don't use the right index when using bind variables

Hi people !
I need some help because I have an issue with a query that don t use the right Indexes as it should
First of all, I have mainly three tables :
ORDER : Table that contains description for each Order (approximately 1 000 000 Records)
ORDER_MVTS : Table that contains the tasks made (called movements) to set up each Orders
with quantity of packages prepared for each product (approximately 10 000 000 Records)
PRODUCT : Tables that contains the products (approximately 50 000 Records)
When I launch the query with hard coded values, it brings back response very fast
because it uses the right index (ORDER_DHR_VALID) which represent the date and hour of the order
(with format 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'). The selectivity for this index is good.
NB 1: I have to use the trick " >= Trunc(date) and < trunc(date) +1 " to filter on a simple date because
the index contains hour and minutes (I know it wasn't probably a bright idea at conception time).
NB 2: The index on ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE is'nt discriminating enough because there is'nt enough different products.
It's the same for index on CUSTOMER_CODE and on MVT_TYPE so only the index on ORDER.DHR_VALID is good.
Here is the correct explain plan when I execute the query with hard coded values :
SELECT SUM(ORDER_MVTS.NB_PACKAGE)
FROM ORDER_MVTS, PRODUCT, ORDER
WHERE ORDER.DHR_VALID >= TRUNC(to_date('14/11/2008 10:04:56','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))
AND ORDER.DHR_VALID < TRUNC(to_date('14/11/2008 10:04:56','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')) + 1
AND ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE
AND ORDER_MVTS.ORDER_CODE = ORDER.CODE
AND ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = 'ADIDAS'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = 1234
Rows Row Source Operation
1 SORT AGGREGATE
2 NESTED LOOPS
4 NESTED LOOPS
2 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378548) --> PRODUCT_PK
4 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER
777 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 378119) --> ORDER_DHR_VALID
2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER_MVTS
30 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 377784) --> ORDER_MVTS_ORDER_FK
Now the problem is when the query is used in a Cursor with bind variables.
It seems like Oracle don't use index on ORDER.DHR_VALID because he can't figure out that he have
to actually filter on a short period of time (only one day).
So Oracle uses the index on ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE which is'nt a bright idea (it takes 10 secondes instead of just one)
Here is the bad explain plan :
Rows Row Source Operation
1 SORT AGGREGATE
2 NESTED LOOPS
722 NESTED LOOPS
2 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378548) --> PRODUCT_PK
722 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER_MVTS
1790 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 377777) --> ORDER_MVTS_PRODUCT_FK
2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER
1442 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378439) --> ORDER_PK
Now I have found two solutions to this problem :
1) using a Hint to force the use of index on ORDER.DHR_VALID (with /*+ INDEX(ORDER ORDER_DHR_VALID) */ )
2) Using Dynamic SQL and keeping the date hard coded (but not the other values except mvt_type)
For example :
QUERY :=
'SELECT SUM(ORDER_MVTS.NB_PACKAGE)
FROM ORDER_MVTS, PRODUCT, ORDER
WHERE ORDER.DHR_VALID >= TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||To_char(P_DTE_VAL,'DD/MM/YYYY')||''',''DD/MM/YYYY'')) '||
AND ORDER.DHR_VALID < TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||To_char(P_DTE_VAL,'DD/MM/YYYY')||''',''DD/MM/YYYY'')) + 1 '||
AND ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE
AND ORDER_MVTS.ORDER_CODE = ORDER.CODE
AND ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = :CUSTOMER
AND PRODUCT.CODE = :CODE ';
These two solutions work but Number 1 is bad in theory because it uses a Hint
and Number 2 may be difficult to code.
So my question is : Does someone knows another solution to force the use of index ORDER_DHR_VALID that can be simple and reliable.
Thank you very much for support

What version of oracle you have? CBO work is different in 9i and 10g.
Usually cost based optimizer do not want to use index for >< condition with binding variables because optimizer can not use statistic to determine selectivity, and by default selectivity of <> operators is low.
(As I remember '>' selectivity by default is 5%, you have two conditions > and <, therefore resulting selectivity will be 0.05*0.05=0.0025 as two independent events, but selectivity of other conditions
ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY' or ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = 'ADIDAS' looks much better for CBO)
The best solution I see is do not use binding variables. Actually your query looks as searching query, which executes not so often, therefore you will not have perfomance win along of skipping execution plan creation.

Using bind variable with IN clause

My application runs a limited number of straight up queries (no stored procs) using ODP.NET. For the most part, I'm able to use bind variables to help with query caching, etc... but I'm at a loss as to how to use bind variables with IN clauses. Basically, I'm looking for something like this:
int objectId = 123;
string[] listOfValues = { "a", "b", "c"};
OracleCommand command = new OracleCommand();
command.Connection = conn;
command.BindByName = true;
command.CommandText = @"select blah from mytable where objectId = :objectId and somevalue in (:listOfValues)";
command.Parameters.Add("objectId", objectId);
command.Parameters.Add("listOfValues", listOfValues);
I haven't had much luck yet using an array as a bind variable. Do I need to pass it in as a PL/SQL associative array? Cast the values to a TABLE?
Thanks,
Nick

Trying to pass array to stored procedure in a loop using bind variable

All,
I'm having trouble figuring out if I can do the following:
I have a stored procedure as follows:
create procedure enque_f826_utility_q (inpayload IN f826_utility_payload, msgid out RAW) is
enqopt dbms_aq.enqueue_options_t;
mprop dbms_aq.message_properties_t;
begin
dbms_aq.enqueue(queue_name=>'f826_utility_queue',
enqueue_options=>enqopt,
message_properties=>mprop,
payload=>inpayload,
msgid=>msgid);
end;
The above compiles cleanly.
The first parameter "inpayload" a database type something like the following:
create or replace type f826_utility_payload as object
2 (
3 YEAR NUMBER(4,0),
4 MONTH NUMBER(2,0),
83 MUSTHAVE CHAR(1)
84 );
I'd like to call the stored procedure enque_f826_utility_q in a loop passing to it
each time, new values in the inpayload parameter.
My questions are:
First, I'm not sure in php, how to construct the first parameter which is a database type.
Can I just make an associative array variable with the keys of the array the same as the columns of the database type shown above and then pass that array to the stored procedure?
Second, is it possible to parse a statement that calls the enque_f826_utility_q procedure using bind variables and then execute the call to the stored procedure in a loop passing new bind variables each time?
I've tried something like the following but it's not working:
$conn = oci_pconnect (....);
$stmt = "select * from f826_utility";
$stid = oci_parse($conn, $sqlstmt);
$r = oci_execute($stid, OCI_DEFAULT);
$row = array();
$msgid = "";
$enqstmt = "call enque_f826_utility_q(:RID,:MID)";
$enqstid = oci_parse($conn, $sqlstmt);
oci_bind_by_name($enqstid, ":RID", $row); /* line 57 */
oci_bind_by_name($enqstid, ":MID", $msgid);
while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stid, OCI_RETURN_NULLS+OCI_ASSOC))
++$rowcnt;
if (! oci_execute($enqstid)) /* line 65 */
echo "Error";
exit;
When I run this, I get the following:
PHP Notice: Array to string conversion in C:\Temp\enqueue_f826_utility.php on l
ine 57
Entering loop to process records from F826_UTIITY table
PHP Notice: Array to string conversion in C:\Temp\enqueue_f826_utility.php on l

e 65
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: msgnum in C:\Temp\enqueue_f826_utility.php on l
ine 68

Exiting!

Thanks for the reply.
I took a look at this article. What it appears to describe is
a calling a stored procedure that takes a collection type which is an array.
Does anyone from Oracle know if I can pass other database type definitions to a stored procedure from PHP?
I have a type defined in my database similar to the following which is not
an array but a record of various fields. This type corresponds to a payload
of an advanced queue payload type. I have a stored procedure which will take as it's input, a payload type of this structure and then enqueue it to a queue.
So I want to be able to pass a database type similar to the following type definition from within PHP. Can anyone from Oracle verify whether or not this is possible?
create or replace type f826_utility_payload as object
YEAR NUMBER(4,0),
MONTH NUMBER(2,0),
UTILITY_ID NUMBER(10,0),
SUBMIT_FAIL_BY VARCHAR2(30),
MUSTHAVE CHAR(1)
);

You cannot avoid hard parsing - as the 1st time a SQL statement (like the SELECT or DELETE statements in your code) is encountered, it does not reside in the server's Shared Pool, and needs to be added into the pool via a hard parse.
Bind variables does not prevent hard parsing. Hard parsing happens when the SQL statement (with or without bind variables) is a brand new statement encountered by the server.
Bind variables enables the same SQL cursor to be reused, by simply changing the bind variable value.
Not using bind variables means that each SQL statement is unique and not shareable - as the value is hardcoded into the statement and cannot be changed via a bind value. This typically means LOTS of different SQL statements (where the only difference is the changed value in the statement) are created - with each statement being a new statement not seen before in the Shared Pool and needing to be hard parsed.
One does not design one's code not to be hard parsed. There ALWAYS will be a hard parse in order to get a SQL statement into the Shared Pool. One designs one's code to REUSE cursors in the Shared Pool.

Why are you using dynamic SQL statements? Why not just use something like this instead in your PL/SQL. I also replaced the leading // in your Xpath with just / since you start from the root node.
select *
INTO l_dummy
from xmltable(XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' AS "XSD", default 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/'),
                '/definitions/types/XSD:schema/XSD:element'

                columns
                ab xmltype path '.' ) t;Also, the above returns two rows, which I suspect is not what you want. Here is the pure SQL version for you to debug.

How to use bind variables in desc flexfields in OA pages?

Use case: In EBS 11i we have a DFF on po_vendors and one of the segment has a table validated value set that is referencing a forms variable i.e :VENDORS.VENDOR_ID. Now after upgrading to R12 this won't work as the vendor pages moved to OA framework. Is there any way to reference the vendor_id column in OA framework?

This typically means LOTS of different SQL statements (where the only difference is the changed value in the statement) are created - with each statement being a new statement not seen before in the Shared Pool and needing to be hard parsed.
One does not design one's code not to be hard parsed. There ALWAYS will be a hard parse in order to get a SQL statement into the Shared Pool. One designs one's code to REUSE cursors in the Shared Pool.

Using BIND VARIABLES in REF CURSOR(s)

Hello I am having trouble making my pl/sql program work using bind variables.
here is a little snipit from my code:
declare
type ref_type is REF CURSOR;
ref_cursor ref_type;
summation_table varchar2(4000);
begin
summation_table := 'table_sum tsum';
open ref_cursor for
select * from :summation_table
where tsum.revenue = 1000
USING summation_table;
end;
The Error that I get is
"bad bind variable 'summation_table'"
could someone please help? I think the way 'tsum' is used could be a problem, but I don't know.

SQL> CREATE TABLE TABLE_SUM(REVENUE NUMBER(10),
2                         OTHER   NUMBER(10));
Table created.

1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO TABLE_SUM VALUES(1000,2);

SQL> variable alpha refcursor

END;

hello,
the reports parameterform capabilities are limited. if you want
to create sophisticated parameterforms, you should do that with
oracle forms or html forms.

BUG ? : ADF creating extra VO instance using bind variables in a LOV query

ADF 11.1.1.1.0
After "playing around" with bind variables Setting bind variables in view objects for LOV I've come across something strange that I've reproduce using the HR schema and tables Employees and Departments. Its a bit long but here goes :
Using the HR schema tables departments and employeesI'm trying to create a LOV (selectOneChoice) for the
employee department, the LOV having a bind variable that limits the values returned in this case returning only DepartmentId = 50
I've create a VO lovDepartment (not based on an EO) with the following query :
SELECT Departments.DEPARTMENT_ID,
       Departments.DEPARTMENT_NAME,
       Departments.MANAGER_ID,
       Departments.LOCATION_ID
FROM DEPARTMENTS Departments
where DEPARTMENT_ID = :pDeptIdA LOV has been defined on the DepartmentId attribute of the EmployeesView.
The lovDepartmentImpl overrides the executeQueryForCollection to set the bind variable value.
    @Override
    protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object object, Object[] object2,
                                             int i) {
        setNamedWhereClauseParam("pDeptId", "50");
        super.executeQueryForCollection(object, object2, i);
    }When using an ADF form to create a new employee the DepartmentId lov is empty.
Enabling SQL tracing shows the following :
[370] _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0 ViewRowSetImpl.doSetWhereClause(-1, pDeptId, null)
[371] _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0 ViewRowSetImpl.execute caused params to be "un"changed
[372] Column count: 4
[373] _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0 ViewRowSetImpl.doSetWhereClause(-1, pDeptId, null)
[374] _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1 ViewRowSetImpl.setNamedWhereClauseParam(pDeptId, 50)
[375] ViewObject: _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1 Created new QUERY statement
[376] _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1>#q computed SQLStmtBufLen: 235, actual=195, storing=225
[377] SELECT Departments.DEPARTMENT_ID,
       Departments.DEPARTMENT_NAME,
       Departments.MANAGER_ID,
       Departments.LOCATION_ID
FROM DEPARTMENTS Departments
where DEPARTMENT_ID = :pDeptId
[378] Bind params for ViewObject: _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1
[379] For RowSet : _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0
[380] Binding null of type 12 for "pDeptId"
[381] No Resource Bundle found but null value id:LOV_DepartmentId_LOVUIHints_NullValueId is defined in an ListBinding Definition.It would seem that 2 lovDepartment instances are used one at line 370 LOCALVIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0
and one at line 374 LOCALVIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1
The one at line 374 LOCALVIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1 gets the variable bound at line 374
however LOCALVIEW_USAGE_model_EmployeesView_lovDepartment1_0 gets a null value and would explain the empty LOV
Can anybody explain what is happening here ? (and how to use bind variables in LOV queries)
Regards
Paul

I've now tried all types of LOV from ChoiceList to Radio groupe by testing the application module - none of them work.....

when you rinvoke executeQueryForCollection the bind variables are allready set and they exist in Object[] object2 method parameters.
in order to change them you need something like:
private void changeGenericBindVariable(Object[] params, String paramName, Object paramValue) {
for (int i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
if (paramName.equals(((Object[])params)[0].toString()))
((Object[])params[i])[1] = paramValue;
* executeQueryForCollection - overridden for custom java data source support.
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object qc, Object[] params,
int noUserParams) {
changeGenericBindVariable(params, "pDeptId", "50")
super.executeQueryForCollection(object, object2, i);
But its better to set bind variables before you executeQueryForCollection. like when you invoke LOV.
For cascading LOVs and the problems i have check:
