Using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE for DML

What benefit is there to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE for an UPDATE statement like the one below.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'UPDATE mytable SET bonus = v_bonus(i)
                   WHERE empid =:empid AND sal =:sal'
                          USING v_empid(n),v_sal(i);This UPDATE sql is not dynamically created. So is there any performance benefit associated with using
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE for this UPDATE? Can't i just use a normal UPDATE without EXECUTE IMMEDIATE?

Ran these same tests with SQL_Trace turned on, ran the trace files through tkprof and look at what it tells us:
declare
begin
for i in 1 .. 100000 loop
gso_prueba_a();
end loop;
end;

  • Why or When should we use Execute Immediate in PLSQL??

    Hi Frnds,
    Long Ago i have received a interview question that ...

    Why or When should we use Execute Immediate in PLSQL????

    OR
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18375990/oracle-what-does-execute-immediate-means
    For DML you'd use it when running statements that you don't have available at compile time, e.g. if the column list is based on a selection from the user.
    In your case it's being used because DDL cannot be run as static SQL from within PL/SQL. Only certain query, DML and TCL commands are valid. Anything else has to be treated as dynamic.
    I'd say it's rare to need to use DDL from a PL/SQL block. TRUNCATE might be reasonable; if you find anything creating or dropping objects on the fly then that might be more of a concern as it can suggest a suboptimal data model.
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE itself does not automatically commit; but if you execute DDL then that will behave the same as if you ran it outside PL/SQL, so it will commit in your case, yes.
    Incidentally, I'm not sure why your code is using an intermediate variable to hold the statement; that's useful if you want to display what it's going to run maybe, but you don't seem to be doing that. What you have could be done as:
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCATE TABLE BD_BIDS_EXT_DET';

    887684 wrote:
    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.

  • Using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE with an NVARCHAR2 parameter

    Hi everyone,
    In the system I'm working on, my stored procedure receives an NVARCHAR2 parameter which contains a complete SQL statement. e.g.
    'UPDATE SomeTable SET SomeTable.Value = 0'
    I want to be able to execute this dynamically, using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, but I've encountered a problem where this is apparently not supported (because the string is Unicode).
    It is crucial that the string stays as Unicode, because of the data that may possible be baked into the SQL statement, and so casting it off to a VARCHAR2, or changing the parameter type, is not acceptable.
    Is there a work-around for this issue? Even if it has a performance hit, it will be better than nothing :)
    I've tried something like this;
    declare
    myVal VARCHAR2(256);
    begin
    myVal := 'UPDATE SomeTable SET SomeTable.Value = 2';
    execute immediate 'BEGIN :x; END;' using myVal;
    end;
    But I get an error;
    "bind variable 'X' not allowed in this context"
    Has anyone any ideas?
    Thanks for your help,
    Chris

    uhmm, I'm not sure if this is a valid testcase. the string could still be converted into ascii or we8iso8859p1 or whatever 1byte-character set you want.
    What I think you should test is a two-byte character as part of SQL, PL/SQL resp. as in SQL all words are defined you can not enlarge it with a 2byte word. But in PL/SQL you could define your own variable. If this variable name itself contains a 2byte character, I guess it will fail.
    (I have used l_vär and l_vér as variable names in my example)
    Message was edited by:
    Leo Mannhart
    According to the PL/SQL Reference Guide PL/SQL consists of:
    PL/SQL programs are written as lines of text using a specific set of characters:
    Upper- and lower-case letters A .. Z and a .. z
    Numerals 0 .. 9
    Symbols ( ) + - * / < > = ! ~ ^ ; : . ' @ % , " # $ & _ | { } ? [ ]
    Tabs, spaces, and carriage returns
    This seems no longer up-to-date as I could define a variable l_vär for instance as long as I use a 1byte char set (like iso8859p1). The same variable name as a n-byte char set like UTF-8 will give an error as my example shows.

  • Using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE with XML

    1) is it OK? As I stated above, it can be made to work. It would not be my first choice, but then none of us here know the full details as well as you do so maybe there is a compelling reason to use dynamic SQL.
    Here is the documentation for [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25519/executeimmediate_statement.htm#LNPLS01317]EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.
    Actually now I finally realize your XML resides in table TO_XML so that means you won't be putting the actual XML into the shared pool via an incorrectly written dynamic SQL statement at least. That is what Odie and I were first concerned about with dynamic SQL usage, that the XML would be hard-coded into your SQL_STMT variable. You are simply changing the columns (in 3 locations). With that setup, you have no need for (nor can use) bind variables. The overall issue of dynamic SQL being slightly slower than static SQL still exists as the SQL statement will first have to be parsed and validated.
    A larger issue in terms of performance is how 10.2 handles XMLTypes. If the underlying XML is large, XMLTable performance degrades quickly. Options around this are to parse the XML in PL/SQL or to upgrade to some version of 11 and use SECUREFILE BINARY XML as the underlying storage structure for the TO_XML.XML_VALUE column.

  • 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.

    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

  • Delete From More than 1 table without using execute immediate

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.

    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.

  • How to use Execute Immediate to execute a procedure and return a cursor?

    The procedure name is unknown until run time so I have to use Execute immediate to execute the procedure, the procedure return a cursor, but I can't figure out the right syntax to pass the cursor out.
    To simplify the issue here, I create two procedures as examples.Assume I have a procedure called XDTest:
         p_cur OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
    IS
    BEGIN
    OPEN p_cur FOR
    Select * from dummy_table;
    END XDTest;
    In another procedure, I want to use Execute Immediate to execute XDTest and obtain the result that return from the cursor into a local cursor so I can process the records:
         p_cur OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
    IS
    l_cur SYS_REFCURSOR;
    BEGIN
    execute immediate 'BEGIN XDTest (:1); END;' using OUT l_cur;
    END XDTest2;
    However, this is not working, I get ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel error.
    What syntax should I use here?
    Cheers

    well...
    I update the XDTest2 procedure as below but when execute it get exceptions.I think the v_sqlstmt syntax is wrong, but I don't know what meant to be correct, please give some suggestions .
    Cheers
