A procedure to Reverse a String in PL/SQL

Closed 10 months ago.
i need help with this question, Using PL/SQL how can I read a string backwards using the while loop?
I know that with the for loop there is a method called reverse but I don't know how I can do it with the while loop. If you can help me I appreciate it
Here's one option:
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL>
SQL> declare
2 l_str varchar2(20) := 'Littlefoot';
3 i number;
4 retval varchar2(20);
5 begin
6 i := length(l_str);
7 while i <> 0 loop
8 retval := retval || substr(l_str, i, 1);
9 i := i - 1;
10 end loop;
11 dbms_output.put_line(retval);
12 end;

If it doesn't have to be PL/SQL, hierarchical query along with listagg might be another way to do it:
SQL> var l_str varchar2(20)
SQL> exec :l_str := 'Littlefoot';
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select listagg(substr(:l_str, length(:l_str) - level + 1, 1), '') within group (order by level) result
2 from dual
3 connect by level <= length(:l_str);

I am migrating Microsoft Sql Server Database to Oracle 19c, a query migrated is failing:
DECLARE cardnum varchar2(100);
BEGIN
MyProcedure('ES', cardnum );
SELECT cardnum;
END;
The error returned is:
PL/SQL: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected
I think that the error is in the line 4:
SELECT cardnum;
The procedure sets the value of the variable, therefore I need to return the value of the variable "cardnum".
What should i use instead of select clausule?
Note --> this query is used from net core with Dapper.
Thank you!
Well, you already have cardnum, procedure set it as its OUT parameter, you don't have to do anything about it.

If you want to select it, you can - but PL/SQL requires an INTO clause. For example:
SQL> declare
2 cardnum varchar2(100);
3 l_var varchar2(100);
4 begin
5 myprocedure('ES', cardnum);
6
7 select cardnum into l_var from dual;
8 end;

It depends on what you actually want to do with cardnum ...
I have a set of stored procedures with the same interface and one of these stored procedures will be passed to a runner stored procedure as an input parameter. How can I execute this stored procedure within the runner proc.
I tried this by using dynamic SQL. The code snippet I wrote for this:
v_proc_query := ':1(:2, :3)';
execute immediate v_proc_query using p_proc_name, p_param1, p_param2;
But the above statement give error: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
I'm using Oracle 12c.
What is the right approach to achieve the goal?
Something like this, perhaps?

In a stored procedure I am filtering out list of employees whose role is SUPER.ADMIN
In such a case I used like expression as below
Emp.Role_nm Like ''''||p_rolenm||''''
p_rolenm I have mentioned in stored procedure as VARCHAR2
When ever I pass a value to p_rolenm as SUPER.ADMIN it's throwing error as identifier SUPER.ADMIN is not declared.
How I can escape . (Dot) in PL/SQL statements?
Why do you use that many single quotes? You don't need any (at least, I think so):
Sample data:
SQL> create table test (id number, role varchar2(20));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test
2 select 1, 'CLERK' from dual union all
3 select 2, 'SUPER.ADMIN' from dual;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from test;
ID ROLE
---------- --------------------
1 CLERK
2 SUPER.ADMIN
SQL> set serveroutput on;
Procedure (anonymous, though, but that doesn't matter):
SQL> declare
2 p_rolenm varchar2(20) := 'SUPER.ADMIN';
3 l_id number;
4 begin
5 select id into l_id
6 from test
7 where role = p_rolenm;

If you need like, then

Shortly, I don't understand what you are doing. Try to follow my examples. If it still doesn't work, post your SQL*Plus session.
I am trying to dynamically resolve the value from cursor something like below.
create or replace
PROCEDURE test(
PI_JANUS_ID IN VARCHAR2,
PO_dummy out Types.CursorType
)AS
PO_ACTUALCUROSR Types.CursorType;
cur_row tab%ROWTYPE;
val1 varchar2(100);
val2 varchar2(200);
BEGIN
open PO_ACTUALCUROSR for select * from tab;
LOOP
FETCH PO_ACTUALCUROSR into cur_row;
EXIT WHEN PO_ACTUALCUROSR%NOTFOUND;
val1 := 'TNAME';
SELECT 'cur_row.'||val1 INTO val2 FROM DUAL;
dbms_output.put_line('Column Value ' || val2);
END LOOP ;
CLOSE PO_ACTUALCUROSR;
END;
Here if you see I have to call cur_row. to get the value but here I have the column name in a variable (val1). So how will I take the value from the cursor.
If I execute the above block I would see "cur_row.TNAME" but I actually need the value in the cursor.
Is there a way of doing this.
Any help is very much appreciated.
just do
BEGIN
open PO_ACTUALCUROSR for select * from tab;
LOOP
FETCH PO_ACTUALCUROSR into cur_row;
EXIT WHEN PO_ACTUALCUROSR%NOTFOUND;
val2 := cur_row.tname;
dbms_output.put_line(val2);
END LOOP ;
CLOSE PO_ACTUALCUROSR;
end;
or
dbms_output.put_line(cur_row.tname);
directly will also work.
p.s. your variable
val2 varchar2(200);
is better as
val2 tab.tname%type;
if you're saying you need to dynamically pull columns without knowing the column name ahead of time you'd have to use dynamic sql, and as you're using a pl/sql array, we need to put that in a package spec so that we can reference it (as you cannot pass pl/sql only types into dynamic SQL).

i m using Oracle 9i.
I m fetching data from a cursor into an array :
FETCH contract_cur
BULK COLLECT INTO l_contract ;
But now i want to "convert" this l_contract into a CLOB variable l_clob
Is there an easy way to do that?
Or otherwise, how do i convertthe rows from a SELECT statement into one single CLOB Variable ?
thanks
EDIT : i forgot to mention its an array of %ROWTYPE, not just one column.
What an ugly thing to do.
Is it all character data, or do you have numeric and/or date/time values in there too ? If so what format do you want to use for those datatypes when you convert them to strings.
You also may need to think about field and record delimiters.
Have you considered XML ?
declare
v_clob clob;
v_xml xmltype;
begin
select xmlagg(XMLELEMENT("test",xmlforest(id,val)))
into v_xml
from test;
select v_xml.getclobval
into v_clob
from dual;
dbms_output.put_line(v_clob);
end;
/
you can loop through your array and build the CLOB as you go:
SQL> DECLARE
2 TYPE tab_vc IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(4000);
3 l_contract tab_vc;
4 l_clob CLOB;
5 BEGIN
6 dbms_lob.createtemporary (l_clob, TRUE);
7 SELECT to_char(dbms_random.STRING('a', 1000)) BULK COLLECT
8 INTO l_contract
9 FROM dual
10 CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 100;
11 FOR i IN 1..l_contract.count LOOP
12 dbms_lob.writeappend(l_clob,
13 length(l_contract(i)),
14 l_contract(i));
15 END LOOP;
16 -- your code here
17 dbms_lob.freetemporary(l_clob);
18 END;
19 /

If you don't use l_contract for anything else you can build the CLOB directly from the cursor loop without the array step, it will save memory and will probably be faster:
SQL> DECLARE
2 l_clob CLOB;
3 BEGIN
4 dbms_lob.createtemporary (l_clob, TRUE);
5 FOR cc IN ( SELECT to_char(dbms_random.STRING('a', 1000)) txt
6 FROM dual
7 CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 100) LOOP
8 dbms_lob.writeappend(l_clob,
9 length(cc.txt),
10 cc.txt);
11 END LOOP;
12 -- your code here
13 dbms_lob.freetemporary(l_clob);
14 END;
