Using bind variablewithin a "WHERE something IN (x,y,z)" statement

Hi,
I have a select statement where I am trying to bind some variables to an "IN" restriction
i.e. select * From department where Org IN (:0)
I generate the org names at runtime and my query in the app module is:
getDeptList().setWhereClause("Org IN (:0)");
getDeptList().setWhereClauseParam(0, depts);
Where "depts" is a string what I have had to build up myself with commas and quotes containing 'FRE','CIV'. Depending on the user the number of departments could be 1+ so I can't fix a number of bind variables with OR statements.
When I run this I get zero-rows as when JDeveloper binds it puts single quotes around the whole thing. The only way I can get it to work is by doing the following:
getDeptList().setWhereClause( "Org IN ("+depts+")" );
I know this is definitely not a perfect way of doing it and it is slow but is there a way of doing it properly?
Please help! ;-)
Andy

Andy,
Oracle SQL does not allow using a bind variable in the way you're hoping it would work with the IN clause.
Instead of creating a single string value like 'AAA','BBB','CCC' and binding it to a scalar-valued String-typed bind variable, instead you need to create an array-valued bind variable holding the different strings as distinct elements in the array.
Then, you need to use that array-valued bind variable in a subselect clause like this:
WHERE org IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE( CAST :YourArrayBindVar AS TABLE_OF_VARCHAR))This also requires that you first create a user-defined type named TABLE_OF_VARCHAR using the syntax:
CREATE TYPE table_of_varchar AS TABLE OF VARCHAR(20);Of course, if VARCHAR(20) is not long enough, then make the above VARCHAR(xx) where "xx" is large enough to hold the values you need.
You can download example #1 from my blog to see a working example:

rob,
No worries. Glad it helped. Glad to see also that you're doing things right and trying to use bind variables ;)
May I suggest adding "SOLVED" to the title of the original post?

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

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

[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.

Regarding usage of constants while using bind variables

Hi All,
Can some one please help me out of this situation?
I wrote a query in a package in which i am using bind variables for faster execution of the query in loops.
In the above said scenario i am trying to insert a set of data into a table say 'A' by selecting from some other table say 'B'. But i also need to insert some data which is constant.
Something like this:
constant_val varchar2(1):='N';
for i in 1 .. tab.count
loop
insert into A(Col1, Col2) values (select constant_val, B.value from B where B.value = tab(i));
end loop;
I wrote the query using bind variables in the manner:
for i in 1 .. tab.count
loop
execute immediate 'insert into A(Col1, Col2) values (select constant_val, B.value from B where B.value = :1)' using tab(i);
end loop;
This compiles, but does not run ... error said is PLSQL statement not properly ended.
I also tried the option of giving constant_value in the using clause and replacing the same in query using a bind variable. It still doesnt work.
Is there someway by which i can squeeze in the constant value also. Can someone please advise me on this?
Thanks in advance,
Praveen G S

but i was told that if i succeed
in reducing the hard parsing of queries .. i will get
better performance results .. Would i say too, at least for OLTP like systems
but if i cant or rather dont have to use it while
looping PLSQL tables and accessing data from other
tables using this data ... then what do we use it
for?? PL SQL is capable of bulk operations, so loop is less performant method to process data, however, if you can't do it bulk - for whatever reasons - do it in loop.
My remark was related mostly to dynamic sql, as shoblock already said, it seems to be no reason in your code to use dynamic sql, if you can use static...
What i not understand as well, why do you select a value from the table, if this value is already in your collection?
values (select constant_val, B.value from B where B.value = :1)' using tab(i);Best regards

Connection closed error when using binding

Hi,
I am running WLS 7.0.1.0 with TopLink 9.0.3 as the persistence layer for
EJB1.1 beans with CMP. When I use bind parameters I get a connection
closed exception the second time the query is invoked.
This is the query I see on server console when it is invoked the first
time. This query returns the expected results:

REFERENCE_QUAL_CODE, ALIAS_QUAL_CODE, TLINK_VERSION, LAST_CHANGED_DATE,

bind => [N]
However, when I run the same query the second time I get the
following error:

Does WebLogic close its connection to the database pool after each
transaction? Is there something that needs to be done on the database?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Anup.

Hi. Our transaction coordinator does prevent any code from using a
pool connection that was part of a transaction, after that transaction
ends. Applications must obtain and use pool connections totally
within or totally outside a UserTransaction, to prevent unintended
or unclear interference of the transaction contents and/or locking.

PS: Also post any followup to the ejb newsgroup, because this issue
is more at the EJB level than JDBC.

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.

Csv no data found when using bind variables

Hi,
I have created a report, that uses 2 date variables to limit the query and rows display as they should. But clicking the csv link opens csv having one row stating 'No data found...'. If I set static values in place of variables, I get the right result. How could I use bind variables and get the right answer in csv (without coding my own function)?
Kaja

I am having the same problem.
The export link opens a new session without submitting the current page. The page item values are therefor not saved to cache before the export is undertaken.
Any report using page item bind variables in the where clause will not export correctly as the bind values are either null or those of the previous page submit.
Any ideas on how to get round this??

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.

How can we use form variable in where clause while personalization

Dear,
I have a requirment for using select in personalization, actully we have created temporary table, now we want to get data from select satatement on event"when-new-record-instance' trigger, now in action tab i have selected action which is property and message, in message column showing value "${item.q_res.transaction_id.value}" it shows on validate button but when this form variable use in action type(property) which is consist on select statement "=SELECT to_char(QTY) FROM TEST_TABLE where transaction_id = ${item.q_res.transaction_id.value}" system didn't get value pressing validate button although there is a single record in customize table while without where cluase was getting data perfectly.
please advice.

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

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

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),

elseif R then Rejected
elseif D then Denied

may be you are looking for
select * from tab1,tab2
where a.tab1 = b.tab2
and
   (decode(:code, 'A','Accepted') = <table_column>
    or
    decode(:code, 'R','Rejected') = <table_column>
   or
    decode(:code, 'D','Denied') = <table_column>

Using CLOB datatypes in WHERE clause

Hi All,
I have a table with two columns as CLOB datatype. I'm using Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition. I can do a query, insert, update and even delete the data in the CLOB field using Oracle's SQL Plus.
What I want is to do a search on those fields.. that is include that field in a WHERE clause. I'm using this datatype to store large number of data.
I'd like to see this query working...
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE CLOBFLD LIKE 'Something...';
Now this query doesn't work. It returns: 'Inconsistent datatype' near the word CLOBFLD.
Please Help me out.
Regards,
Gopi

I presume you want to query based on the contents of the CLOB, right ? If that is true, then you have to create a text index, using Oracle Context and then use "Contains" in the where clause to query. Hope this helps.
