Oracle query logic to identify email addresses across the dwh schemas - oracle

I was performing an activity to identify eMail addresses based on certain pattern (#xyz.de). I initially tried checking the DBA_TAB_COLS [data dictionary] view but this just finds email column names and I manually need to check the big list of tables. Instead of doing that, is there is a more effective way to just fetch the the pattern value #xyz.de ?
Database - oracle 11g
Query used
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON 100000
DECLARE
lv_count number(10):=0;
l_str varchar2 (1000);
lv_col_name varchar2(255) :='EMAIL';
BEGIN
FOR V1 IN
(select distinct table_name
from dba_tab_columns
where column_name = lv_col_name
order by table_name)
LOOP
dbms_output.put_line(lv_col_name||' '||v1.table_name);
END LOOP;
END;
Please note that
I don't exactly know the table or column names.
The value #xyz.de can be in any schema and any table and any column. This has to be identified but in an effective way.
Any suggestions?
i have used the above block query to fetch the email column along with the table name , but how can i achieve by searching certain value #xyz.de using the dynamic sql ?

I don't know what you want to do with the values that you are trying to extract, so the below code just prints them. Refer to PL/SQL Dynamic SQL from the Oracle documentation.
declare
type EMAILS is ref cursor;
L_CURSOR EMAILS;
cursor EMAIL_COLS is
select OWNER
,TABLE_NAME
,COLUMN_NAME
from DBA_TAB_COLS
where COLUMN_NAME like '%EMAIL%'
and OWNER <> 'SYS';
L_SQL varchar2(200);
L_EMAIL varchar2(500);
begin
for REC in EMAIL_COLS
loop
L_SQL := 'select ' || REC.COLUMN_NAME || ' from ' || REC.OWNER || '.' || REC.TABLE_NAME || ' where ' || REC.COLUMN_NAME || ' like ''%xyz.de''';
open L_CURSOR for L_SQL;
loop
fetch L_CURSOR into L_EMAIL;
exit when L_CURSOR%notfound;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(L_EMAIL);
end loop;
end loop;
end;

Procedure to check table for duplicates - Oracle PL/SQL

Very new to SQL in general.
Have seen a few examples on how to declare table as variable in PL/SQL, however, none of them seem to do what I need.
The procedure is quite simple, check for duplicate unique numbers in a table, eg:
select unique_id,
count(unique_id) as count_unique
from table_name
having count(unique_id)>1
group by unique_id
I would like to create a procedure that can be called and dynamically change the _name and the unique_id.
Something like:
declare
table_name is table:= table_1
unique_id varchar2(100):= unique_1
begin
select unique_id,
count(unique_id) as count_unique
from table_name
having count(unique_id)>1
group by unique_id
end;
/
If you want to change the table at runtime, you'd need dynamic SQL which means that you'd need to assemble the SQL statement you want in a string variable and execute that string. If you have a procedure, you'd need that procedure to do something with the results of the query. My guess is that you want to return a cursor.
Note that I'm not doing anything to validate the table and column names to avoid SQL injection attacks. You'd probably want to use dbms_assert to validate the input rather than blindly trusting the caller.
create or replace procedure get_duplicates( p_table_name in varchar2,
p_column_name in varchar2,
p_rc out sys_refcursor )
as
l_sql varchar2(1000);
begin
l_sql := ' select ' || p_column_name || ', ' ||
' count(' || p_column_name || ') as unique_count ' ||
' from ' || p_table_name ||
' group by ' || p_column_name ||
' having count(' || p_column_name || ') > 1';
dbms_output.put_line( l_sql );
open p_rc for l_sql;
end;

how to provide multiple bind variable for execute immediate inside pl/sql block

I have a table which contains the metadata of the table. The task is to periodically delete a specific set of tables, provided the information for where condition and how many days the data is retained are present.If a user needs to delete a data on daily basis, he simply enter his table name in audit log. The procedure will do the rest. The example is shown below.
Table structure:
CREATE TABLE delete_tbl_list (
id NUMBER NOT NULL,
table_name VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
column_name VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
day_retented NUMBER NOT NULL,
where_clause VARCHAR2(2000)
);
the day_retended is the number which will tell on how many days the data can hold.
select * from delete_tbl_list
ID TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DAY_RETENTED WHERE_CLAUSE
---------- -----------------------------------------------
1 audit_log log_TS 60
So if i need to delete a table taking log_ts(timestamp) as column with 60days period as retention. The table in query needs to do
delete * from audit_log where log_ts<systimestamp -60
Now i need to do it using bulk delete and more dynamic and hence i wrote the procedure below,
create procedure dynamic_mass_delete as
TYPE tbl_rec_rowid IS TABLE OF ROWID INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
lv_del_exec_rec tbl_rec_rowid;
v_limit PLS_INTEGER := 10000;
m_date date:=sysdate;
total_records_deleted number:=0;
l_where delete_tbl_list.where_clause%type;
l_sql varchar2(2000);
TYPE ref_cur_type IS REF CURSOR;
delete_content ref_cur_type;
BEGIN
for i in (select table_name,COLUMN_NAME,DAY_RETENTED,WHERE_CLAUSE from delete_tbl_list) loop
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('tablename..'||i.table_name);
l_where:='';
m_date:=m_date-i.day_retented;
if i.where_clause is not null then
l_where:=' and '||i.where_clause;
end if;
OPEN delete_content FOR 'SELECT rowid from ' || i.table_name ||' where '|| i.COLUMN_NAME || ' <= to_timestamp('''||m_date||''')'||l_where;
LOOP
total_records_deleted := 0;
FETCH delete_content BULK COLLECT INTO lv_del_exec_rec LIMIT v_limit;
FORALL j IN lv_del_exec_rec.first..lv_del_exec_rec.last
execute immediate 'DELETE FROM :1 where rowid=:2 'using i.table_name,lv_del_exec_rec(j);
total_records_deleted := total_records_deleted + SQL%rowcount;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Delete count..'||total_records_deleted);
EXIT WHEN delete_content%notfound;
END LOOP;
CLOSE delete_content;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
when others then
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Error-->'||SQLERRM);
END;
/
Now i getting error in the delete query stating invalid table name, i was not able to write dbms_output inside for all statment. Is it possible to use multiple bind variable inside a pl/sql procedure.
The error which i get is ,
Error-->ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
The table very much exists, but it is throwing error, i was not able to print inside the forall block too.
Switch to
execute immediate 'DELETE FROM ' || i.table_name ||' where rowid = ' || lv_del_exec_rec(j);
You can simplify your code as follows:
BEGIN
FOR TBL_DETAILS IN (
SELECT
TABLE_NAME,
COLUMN_NAME,
DAY_RETENTED,
WHERE_CLAUSE
FROM
DELETE_TBL_LIST
) LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('tablename..' || TBL_DETAILS.TABLE_NAME);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DELETE FROM '
|| TBL_DETAILS.TABLE_NAME
|| ' WHERE '
|| TBL_DETAILS.COLUMN_NAME
|| ' < SYSTIMESTAMP - '
|| TBL_DETAILS.DAY_RETENTED
|| CASE
WHEN TBL_DETAILS.WHERE_CLAUSE IS NOT NULL THEN ' AND ' || TBL_DETAILS.WHERE_CLAUSE
END;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Delete count..' || SQL%ROWCOUNT);
END LOOP;
END;
/
Hope, This will help you in creating simpler code.
Cheers!!

oracle select * from variable table name

ORACLE: So far nothing I have tried has worked. I wish to display on the screen the results of select * from my_table. In this case my_table = select table_name from all_tables where owner='ABC' and name like 'ABC%'. Table name would be a plus, but column name is a necessity. I can do this in seconds with DB2, but can't quite translate for Oracle.
My attempt:
variable refcur refcursor;
declare
my_select varchar2(64);
cursor c_tables is
select table_name
from all_tables
where owner='ABC' and table_name like 'ABC%';
begin
for x in c_tables
loop
dbms_output.put_line(x.table_name);
my_select := 'select * from ' || x.table_name;
open :refcur for my_select;
end loop;
exception
when no_data_found
then dbms_output.put_line('Nothing is found');
end;
/
In all of my attempts, the best I have gotten is table does not exist
Thanks
I don't know how you're logged on, but if you're NOT logged on as ABC you'll need to include the schema along with the table name, e.g.
my_select := 'select * from ' || x.owner || '.' || x.table_name;
Also, opening a cursor doesn't fetch anything from it, or display the data anywhere. You'll need to add logic to fetch data from the cursor, display the data, and close the cursor. And because the table name isn't fixed the database can't tell ahead a time what your row looks like so you'll need to get familiar with the DBMS_SQL package, which is used for handling dynamic SQL like this.
Best of luck.
you can user below example:
create or replace procedure app_test(v_tab varchar2) is
type cur_type is ref cursor;
my_cur cur_type;
v_name varchar2(20);
dyna_sql varchar2(4000);
begin
dyna_sql := 'select username from ' || v_tab || ' where rownum=1';
open my_cur for dyna_sql;
fetch my_cur
into v_name;
while my_cur%found LOOP
fetch my_cur
into v_name;
DBMS_output.put_line(v_name);
end loop;
close my_cur;
end app_test;

Find a Value in Table Using SQL Developer

I inherited a large database and nobody seems to know which table/column a particular data set is coming from. I've spent a lot of time going through table by table in Oracle's SQL Developer, but I can't find it. Is there a way in SQLDeveloper to search the entire table for a single value. Something like:
select table_name from all_tab_columns where column_value='desired value';
The db has around 1K+ tables each with lots of columns so manually combing through this isn't working.
You can use the following script to search for a value in all columns of your schema. The execution time for the script will depend on the number of tables in your schema and the number of rows in each of your table.
Replace 'abc' with the value which you intend to search. Also, right now the script will search all VARCHAR2 columns. You can also insert the table names and counts into a table instead of doing a DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE.
DECLARE
CURSOR cur_tables
IS
SELECT table_name,
column_name
FROM user_tab_columns
WHERE data_type = 'VARCHAR2';
v_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
v_value VARCHAR2(50);
v_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_value := 'abc';
FOR c_tables IN cur_tables LOOP
v_sql := 'SELECT count(1) FROM ' || c_tables.table_name || ' WHERE ' || c_tables.column_name || ' = :val' ;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql INTO v_count USING v_value;
IF v_count > 0 THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Table Name ' || c_tables.table_name || ' Column Name ' || c_tables.column_name || ' Row Count ' || v_count);
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;

For loop with Table name in Stored Procedures

I am working on Oracle stored procedures.
My requirement is below
IF variable1 := 'true"
THEN
tableName=abr
ELSE
tableName=mvr
END IF;
FOR i IN (select unique(row1) as sc from tableName t where t.row2 = 'name') LOOP
BEGIN
-- required Logic
END
END LOOP;
But here I am not able to pass the table name in tableName parameter. How to do it?
You'll need to use Execute Immediate - it's designed for operations that aren't known until run time.
For normal operations, Oracle must know the tables and columns at compile time. You can't do SELECT * FROM tableName because it has no idea what tableName is and therefore it can't be compiled correctly.
Instead, you can do EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT * FROM ' || tableName;
You can select your results INTO a variable, loop the result set, or BULK COLLECT into a structure and then iterate that.
For a simple select into, you can do this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COL1, COL2 FROM ' || tableName INTO V_COL1, V_COL2
V_COL1 & V_COL2 are just local variables, tableName is a string representing your table name, and COL2 and COL2 are columns in the table you're selecting from. You can use the likes of ALL_TAB_COLUMNS to get the structure of a table dynamically.
Here is an example from Oracle docs:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE query_invoice(
month VARCHAR2,
year VARCHAR2) IS
TYPE cur_typ IS REF CURSOR;
c cur_typ;
query_str VARCHAR2(200);
inv_num NUMBER;
inv_cust VARCHAR2(20);
inv_amt NUMBER;
BEGIN
query_str := 'SELECT num, cust, amt FROM inv_' || month ||'_'|| year
|| ' WHERE invnum = :id';
OPEN c FOR query_str USING inv_num;
LOOP
FETCH c INTO inv_num, inv_cust, inv_amt;
EXIT WHEN c%NOTFOUND;
-- process row here
END LOOP;
CLOSE c;
END;
/

You are going to have to build a for loop for each table then use your logic to determine which loop you will execute.
