Using execute immediate creating a table from another

hi friend i wanted to create a table from a select statement in a pl sql procedure. i am using execute immediate but getting problems with it pls can anyone help me.
here is the query i am using
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE table_name AS (SELECT * FROM a_view WHERE column_name LIKE '%some_string%');
i need to know if this can be done and if yes how. pls help me its bit urgent too. the schema name is same and the privileges are available to create tables too.

Your syntax is wrong.
If you would use a syntax higlighted editor, it would show.
Yout try to execute a string where another string is embedded. Please use two times single quote or use the 'q' function:
This one is correct:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE table_name AS (SELECT * FROM a_view WHERE column_name LIKE ''%some_string%'')';
or this one:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE q'|CREATE TABLE table_name AS (SELECT * FROM a_view WHERE column_name LIKE '%some_string%')|';
good luck

Error while insert data using execute immediate in dynamic table in oracle

Error while insert data using execute immediate in dynamic table created in oracle 11g .

ORA-00904: "SUBJECT_OBJ": invalid identifier
ORA-06512: at line 7The problem is that your variable subject_obj is not in scope inside the dynamic SQL you are building. The SQL engine does not know your PL/SQL variable, so it tries to find a column named SUBJECT_OBJ in your SAM1 table.
If you need to use dynamic SQL for this, then you must bind the variable. Something like this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'insert into op_sample (select id,name,:bind_subject_obj from sam1) ' USING subject_obj;Alternatively you might figure out to use static SQL rather than dynamic SQL (if possible for your project.) In static SQL the PL/SQL engine binds the variables for you automatically.

Hi,
Why do you need to combine the two action togather. You can get the things done in two steps.
Create table tab1 as select * from tab2;
Then you create any contraint that you want to create on tab2 using 'alter table add constraint'.

How to create table from another in pl/sql

Hi I need to create a table from another in pl/sql
How can I do this

The proper way to do this, is not to do it in PL/SQL. But do it in SQL, something like:
create table tbl
as
select *
from other_tbl;Doing it in PL/SQL is really slow compared to SQL.
Yes, if you really want to create a table using PL/SQL then you will need to use DBMS_SQL or EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (Native Dynamic SQL) to do this.

I can't create table from another table?

Hi everyone!
I have a problem that I don't known the reason why?
I'm using Oracle version 8i and I want to create a table from another table, such as:
     CREATE TABLE a_backup as SELECT * FROM a => It's OK, table a_backup is created.
But there is only a table that I can't created like that, such as:
     CREATE TABLE b_backup AS SELECT * FROM b;
When I run over command, SQL Plus is not responding... and clients are can't access to DB or Executing forever
This is the first time I met this problem.
Can Anyone help me to resolved it?
Thanks in advance!

Create table from another table including constraints

Hi,
Is there a way to create a table from another table including constraints.
CREATE TABLE COPY_EMP
as
SELECT *
FROM EMP
WHERE 1 =2 ;
This creates the table, but the constraints are not copied over.
I was reading about DBMS_REDEFINITION - can that be used for this scenario ?
Thanks!
Anand

>
I tried that, but the constraint names are posing a problem. And unfortunately our constraints are not named in a standard, so am finding it difficult to replace them.
Was just wondering if there were any simpler approach to this.
>
No - there isn't.
You will have to use new names for the constraints. That usually means extracting the DDL and manually changing the constraint names.

Since the syntax is correct, my guess is you do not have CREATE TABLE system privilege granted directly to your account. A common scenario is that you have this privilege granted indirectly via a role, allowing you to create tables on the command line, but stored PL/SQL is stricter and requires a direct grant and therefore the procedure fails with 'insufficient privileges'.A bit like he's already been told on his first thread...
Using of Execute Immediate in Oracle PLSQL
Generally you would not create tables from stored PL/SQL. Also as you have found out, it's best not to hide exceptions with 'WHEN OTHERS THEN [some message which gives less detail than the one generated by Oracle]'.Again like he was told on the other thread.
There's just no telling some people eh! :)

Create temp table using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

Is there any performance issue in creating globally temp table
using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE or creating globally temp table from
SQL PLUS.
Any response will be greatly appreciated.
null

Anish,
Creating tables is likely to be an expensive operation.
Performance issues can only be considered in comparison to
alternatives.
Alternatives include: PLSQL tables, cursors and/or recoding so
that tmp tables are not required. (One of our consultants reckons
that sqlserver temp tables are usually used to get around
limitations in sqlserver, ie slightly more complicated sql
statements could be used instead of simpler sql and temporary
tables).
I would think creating the temp table once during sqlplus would
be cheaper than creating and deleting it repeatedly at run time.
Note that EXECUTE IMMEDIATE may do an implicit commit (dbms_sql
certainly does). This may be got over my using the PRAGMA
AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION; direction which places a
procedure/function in a seperate transaction.

Edited by: xDeviates on Jun 11, 2012 3:13 PM

It looks like you are approaching the problem incorrectly. As I suggested in Dynamic Select, it sounds like you, at most, want a function that returns a SYS_REFCURSOR (it's still not obvious to me why you would even want/ need to resort to dynamic SQL in the first place)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_dynamic_cursor( p_table_name IN VARCHAR2 )
RETURN sys_refcursor
IS
l_rc sys_refcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN l_rc FOR 'SELECT * FROM ' || dbms_assert.sql_object_name( p_table_name );
RETURN l_rc;
END;which you can then call from your application
SQL> variable rc refcursor;
SQL> exec :rc := get_dynamic_cursor( 'EMP' );
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Create Partition tables in PL/SQL using Execute Immediate

Hi
I have to create a partiton table in PL/SQL using Execute Immediate. I concat the necessary Create Table syntax into a variable and use Execute Immediate variable name. This gives a error ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement. However if i cut and paste the SQL statement from DBMS_OUTPUT, the table creation goes through without any problem.
What could be the issue. Has anyone face this before please.
I am using 10G DB

Thanks for your reply. It is a big code. I am pasting the part required.
v_sqlstmtout :='CREATE TABLE a_10(MYDATE DATE NOT NULL,ID NUMBER(14) NOT NULL)';
v_sqlstmtout := v_sqlstmtout || ' PARTITION BY RANGE (MYDATE) ';
v_sqlstmtout := v_sqlstmtout || 'SUBPARTITION BY HASH(id) ';
v_sqlstmtout := v_sqlstmtout || 'SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE(';
v_sqlstmtout := v_sqlstmtout || 'SUBPARTITION SP1,SUBPARTITION SP2) ';
v_sqlstmtout := v_sqlstmtout || '(PARTITION mth_dummy VALUES LESS THAN ';
v_sqlstmtout := v_sqlstmtout || '('||V_SQLSTMT3||')' || v_sqlstmt||')';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ''''||v_sqlstmtout||'''';
variables are substituted through data from different tables.
The output looks like the following
CREATE TABLE a_10(MYDATE DATE NOT NULL,ID NUMBER(14) NOT NULL)
PARTITION BY RANGE (mydate) SUBPARTITION BY HASH(id) SUBPARTITION
TEMPLATE(SUBPARTITION SP1,SUBPARTITION SP2) (PARTITION mth_dummy VALUES
LESS THAN ('01-MAY-2006'), PARTITION mth_JAN2007 VALUES LESS THAN
('01-FEB-2007'))
The above is the output from DBMS_OUTPUT. If i run this statement the table is created. Please help..

Delete From More than 1 table without using execute immediate

Hi,
Am new to PL/SQL, I had been asked to delete few of the table for my ETL jobs in Oracle 10G R2. I have to delete(truncate) few tables and the table names are in another table with a flag to delete it or not. So, when ever I run the job it should check for the flag and for those flag which is 'Y' then for all those tables should be deleted without using the Execute Immediate, because I dont have privilages to use "Execute Immediate" statement.
Can anyone help me in how to do this.

Senthil

Then tell you DBA's, or better yet their boss, that they need some additional training in how Oracle actually works.
Yes, dynamic sql can be a bad thing when it is used to generate hundreds of identical queries that differ ony in the literals used in predicates, but for something like a set of delte table statements or truncate table statements, dynamic sql is no different in terms of the effect on the shared pool that hard coding the sql statements.
This is a bad use of dynamic sql, because it generates a lot of nearly identical statements due to the lack of bind variables. It is the type of thing your DBA's should, correctly, bring out the lead pipe for.
DECLARE
   l_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
   FOR r in (SELECT account_no FROM accounts_to_delete) LOOP
      l_sql := 'DELETE FROM accounts WHERE account_no = '||r.account_no;
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql;
   END LOOP;
END;This will result in one sql statement in the shared pool for every row in accounts_to_delete. Although there is much else wrong with this example, from the bind variable perspective it should be re-written to use bind variables like:
DECLARE
   l_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
   l_acct NUMBER;
BEGIN
   FOR r in (SELECT account_no FROM accounts_to_delete) LOOP
      l_sql := 'DELETE FROM accounts WHERE account_no = :b1';
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql USING l_acct;
   END LOOP;
END;However, since you cannot bind object names into sql statements, the difference in terms of the number of statements that end up in the shared pool between this:
DECLARE
   l_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
   FOR r in (SELECT table_name, delete_tab, trunc_tab
             FROM tables_to_delete) LOOP
      IF r.delete_tab = 'Y' THEN
         l_sql := 'DELETE FROM '||r.table_name;
      ELSIF r.trunc_tab = 'Y' THEN
         l_sql := 'TRUNCATE TABLE '||r.table_name;
      ELSE
         l_sql := NULL;
      END IF;
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql;
   END LOOP;
END;and something like this:
BEGIN
   DELETE FROM tab1;
   DELETE FROM tab2;
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCTE TABLE tab3';
END;or this as a sql script
DELETE FROM tab1;
DELETE FROM tab2;
TRUNCTE TABLE tab3;is absolutley nothing.
Note that if you are truncating some of the tables, and wnat/need to use a stored procedure, you are going to have to use dynamic sql for the truncates anyway since trncate is ddl, and you cannot do ddl in pl/sql wiothout using dynamic sql.

COPY the statement & PASTE into sqlplus to validate its correctness.

Create a new table from another table that exists ussing a stored procedure

Hi,
I want to know if is posibble to create a new table from another table that exists ussing a stored procedure. This new table is created from other table that exists in the DB.
(in the next code the table tbl1 exist into the schema of the DB, but temp_tbl1 does not exist, it must be created by the procedure)
create or replace procedute temp is
temp_tbl1 tbl1%TYPE; //the temp_tbl1 will have the same type of tbl1
