error ORA-00998: must name this expression with a column alias - oracle

I tried to create table from all_tab_columns but it throws me an error.
like error ORA-00998: must name this expression with a column alias.
i tried to figure it out but not working.
Declare
CURSOR c1 IS
SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM (select 'standard_hash(MY_NAME) AS MY_NAME' COLUMN_NAME from DUAL
UNION
SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME='TABLE1' AND COLUMN_NAME<>'MY_NAME');
cols c1%ROWTYPE;
sqlstmt VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
LOOP
FETCH c1 into cols;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
sqlstmt := sqlstmt ||cols.column_name||',';
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
sqlstmt := 'CREATE TABLE TABLE2 AS SELECT '||substr(sqlstmt, 1, length(sqlstmt)-1)||' FROM TABLE1';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(sqlstmt);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlstmt;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('error '||sqlerrm);
END;
/

You just have to give the name to the expression as follows:
sqlstmt := 'CREATE TABLE TABLE2 AS SELECT '
||substr(sqlstmt, 1, length(sqlstmt)-1)
||' as column_name FROM TABLE1'; -- column_name will bre name of the column of new table
As it will become the name of the column of newly created table.

I think this can be simplified somewhat.
You don't need to declare an explicit cursor and a record type and fetch each row into it, as this is already built into the language as the Cursor FOR loop construction:
declare
sqlStmt long := 'create table table2 as select ';
begin
for r in (
select 'standard_hash(my_name) as my_name' column_name
from dual
union
select column_name
from all_tab_columns
where table_name = 'TABLE1'
and column_name <> 'MY_NAME'
)
loop
sqlStmt := sqlStmt || r.column_name || ', ';
end loop;
sqlStmt := sqlStmt || rtrim(sqlStmt,', ') || ' from table1';
dbms_output.put_line(sqlStmt);
execute immediate sqlStmt;
end;
/
But you can do this without any loop, as the listagg function can already build a comma-separated list for you. It also makes it easier to retain the order of columns in the original table.
declare
selectList long;
sqlStmt long;
begin
select listagg(
case column_name
when 'MY_NAME' then 'standard_hash(my_name) as my_name'
else lower(column_name)
end, ', '
) within group (order by column_id) as select_list
into selectList
from user_tab_columns c
where c.table_name = 'TABLE1';
sqlStmt :=
'create table table2 pctfree 0 nologging parallel as '||chr(10)||
'select '||selectList||chr(10)||
'from table1';
dbms_output.put_line(sqlStmt||';');
execute immediate sqlstmt;
end;

How to execute the output result for execute immediate statment

From the below query i am getting the output as below. but i am expecting the output result like the output select query to be executed again and provide the result .
Also, i want to remove the UNION ALL from last line of the output like this
select A from Table1 Union all
Select A from table2 Union All
Select A from table3 Union all
Select A from table4;
Query :
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
Declare
v_sql varchar2(500);
v_sql2 varchar2(500);
v_prj_id varchar2(4000):='ProjectA,ProjectB,ProjectC,ProjectD';
BEGIN
Dbms_Output.Put_Line('v_prj_id='||v_prj_id);
--
FOR i IN (SELECT trim(regexp_substr(v_prj_id, '[^,]+', 1, LEVEL)) l
FROM dual
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= regexp_count(v_prj_id, ',') + 1
) LOOP
v_sql := 'select '''|| i.l ||''' AS "PRJ_ID", EVENT, email,modified_by,modified from ' || i.l ||
'.Table UNION ALL';
Dbms_Output.Put_Line (v_sql);
--
END LOOP;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql ;
v_sql2 := RTRIM (v_sql, 'UNION ALL');
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql2 ;
Dbms_Output.Put_Line (v_sql2);
END;
/
Output :
select 'ProjectA' AS "PRJ_ID", EVENT, email,modified_by,modified from ProjectA.event UNION ALL
select 'ProjectB' AS "PRJ_ID", EVENT, email,modified_by,modified from ProjectB.event UNION ALL
select 'ProjectC' AS "PRJ_ID", EVENT, email,modified_by,modified from ProjectC.event UNION ALL
select 'ProjectD' AS "PRJ_ID", EVENT, email,modified_by,modified from ProjectD.event UNION ALL
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE will not provide you the SELECT statement results.
From Oracle Docs
If dynamic_sql_statement is a SELECT statement, and you omit both into_clause and bulk_collect_into_clause, then execute_immediate_statement never executes.
You have use SELECT INTO clause or BULK_COLLECT_INTO_CLAUSE and assign the values to some variable if you want to see the results of EXECUTE IMMEDIATE select values.
Something like below for single row
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
L_RESULT VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
VSQL:= --YOUR LOGIC
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE VSQL INTO L_RESULT;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(L_RESULT);
END;
/
For Multiple rows
DECLARE
TYPE T IS TABLE OF MYTABLE.ID%TYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
MYROW T;
BEGIN
VSQL:= --YOUR LOGIC
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE VSQL BULK COLLECT INTO MYROW;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(MYROW.XXX);
END;
/
You are doing everything right except concatenating the v_sql with original string -
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
Declare
v_sql varchar2(500);
v_sql2 varchar2(500);
v_prj_id varchar2(4000):='ProjectA,ProjectB,ProjectC,ProjectD';
BEGIN
Dbms_Output.Put_Line('v_prj_id='||v_prj_id);
--
FOR i IN (SELECT trim(regexp_substr(v_prj_id, '[^,]+', 1, LEVEL)) l
FROM dual
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= regexp_count(v_prj_id, ',') + 1
) LOOP
v_sql := v_sql || ' select '''|| i.l ||''' AS "PRJ_ID", EVENT, email, modified_by, modified from ' || i.l ||
'.Table UNION ALL';
Dbms_Output.Put_Line (v_sql);
--
END LOOP;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql ;
v_sql2 := RTRIM (v_sql, 'UNION ALL');
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql2 ;
Dbms_Output.Put_Line (v_sql2);
END;

Dynamic SQL Hangs [duplicate]

Is it possible to search every field of every table for a particular value in Oracle?
There are hundreds of tables with thousands of rows in some tables so I know this could take a very long time to query. But the only thing I know is that a value for the field I would like to query against is 1/22/2008P09RR8.
<
I've tried using this statement below to find an appropriate column based on what I think it should be named but it returned no results.
SELECT * from dba_objects
WHERE object_name like '%DTN%'
There is absolutely no documentation on this database and I have no idea where this field is being pulled from.
Any thoughts?
Quote:
I've tried using this statement below

SELECT * from dba_objects WHERE
object_name like '%DTN%'
A column isn't an object. If you mean that you expect the column name to be like '%DTN%', the query you want is:
SELECT owner, table_name, column_name FROM all_tab_columns WHERE column_name LIKE '%DTN%';
But if the 'DTN' string is just a guess on your part, that probably won't help.
By the way, how certain are you that '1/22/2008P09RR8' is a value selected directly from a single column? If you don't know at all where it is coming from, it could be a concatenation of several columns, or the result of some function, or a value sitting in a nested table object. So you might be on a wild goose chase trying to check every column for that value. Can you not start with whatever client application is displaying this value and try to figure out what query it is using to obtain it?
Anyway, diciu's answer gives one method of generating SQL queries to check every column of every table for the value. You can also do similar stuff entirely in one SQL session using a PL/SQL block and dynamic SQL. Here's some hastily-written code for that:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 100000
DECLARE
match_count INTEGER;
BEGIN
FOR t IN (SELECT owner, table_name, column_name
FROM all_tab_columns
WHERE owner <> 'SYS' and data_type LIKE '%CHAR%') LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' || t.owner || '.' || t.table_name ||
' WHERE '||t.column_name||' = :1'
INTO match_count
USING '1/22/2008P09RR8';
IF match_count > 0 THEN
dbms_output.put_line( t.table_name ||' '||t.column_name||' '||match_count );
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
/
There are some ways you could make it more efficient too.
In this case, given the value you are looking for, you can clearly eliminate any column that is of NUMBER or DATE type, which would reduce the number of queries. Maybe even restrict it to columns where type is like '%CHAR%'.
Instead of one query per column, you could build one query per table like this:
SELECT * FROM table1
WHERE column1 = 'value'
OR column2 = 'value'
OR column3 = 'value'
...
;
I did some modification to the above code to make it work faster if you are searching in only one owner.
You just have to change the 3 variables v_owner, v_data_type and v_search_string to fit what you are searching for.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 100000
DECLARE
match_count INTEGER;
-- Type the owner of the tables you are looking at
v_owner VARCHAR2(255) :='ENTER_USERNAME_HERE';
-- Type the data type you are look at (in CAPITAL)
-- VARCHAR2, NUMBER, etc.
v_data_type VARCHAR2(255) :='VARCHAR2';
-- Type the string you are looking at
v_search_string VARCHAR2(4000) :='string to search here...';
BEGIN
FOR t IN (SELECT table_name, column_name FROM all_tab_cols where owner=v_owner and data_type = v_data_type) LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '||t.table_name||' WHERE '||t.column_name||' = :1'
INTO match_count
USING v_search_string;
IF match_count > 0 THEN
dbms_output.put_line( t.table_name ||' '||t.column_name||' '||match_count );
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;

I know this is an old topic. But I see a comment to the question asking if it could be done in SQL rather than using PL/SQL. So thought to post a solution.
The below demonstration is to Search for a VALUE in all COLUMNS of all TABLES in an entire SCHEMA:
Search a CHARACTER type
Let's look for the value KING in SCOTT schema.
SQL> variable val varchar2(10)
SQL> exec :val := 'KING'
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTR (:val, 1, 11) "Searchword",
2 SUBSTR (table_name, 1, 14) "Table",
3 SUBSTR (column_name, 1, 14) "Column"
4 FROM cols,
5 TABLE (xmlsequence (dbms_xmlgen.getxmltype ('select '
6 || column_name
7 || ' from '
8 || table_name
9 || ' where upper('
10 || column_name
11 || ') like upper(''%'
12 || :val
13 || '%'')' ).extract ('ROWSET/ROW/*') ) ) t
14 ORDER BY "Table"
15 /
Searchword Table Column
----------- -------------- --------------
KING EMP ENAME
SQL>
Search a NUMERIC type
Let's look for the value 20 in SCOTT schema.
SQL> variable val NUMBER
SQL> exec :val := 20
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTR (:val, 1, 11) "Searchword",
2 SUBSTR (table_name, 1, 14) "Table",
3 SUBSTR (column_name, 1, 14) "Column"
4 FROM cols,
5 TABLE (xmlsequence (dbms_xmlgen.getxmltype ('select '
6 || column_name
7 || ' from '
8 || table_name
9 || ' where upper('
10 || column_name
11 || ') like upper(''%'
12 || :val
13 || '%'')' ).extract ('ROWSET/ROW/*') ) ) t
14 ORDER BY "Table"
15 /
Searchword Table Column
----------- -------------- --------------

Yes you can and your DBA will hate you and will find you to nail your shoes to the floor because that will cause lots of I/O and bring the database performance really down as the cache purges.
select column_name from all_tab_columns c, user_all_tables u where c.table_name = u.table_name;
for a start.
I would start with the running queries, using the v$session and the v$sqlarea. This changes based on oracle version. This will narrow down the space and not hit everything.
Here is another modified version that will compare a lower substring match. This works in Oracle 11g.
DECLARE
match_count INTEGER;
-- Type the owner of the tables you are looking at
v_owner VARCHAR2(255) :='OWNER_NAME';
-- Type the data type you are look at (in CAPITAL)
-- VARCHAR2, NUMBER, etc.
v_data_type VARCHAR2(255) :='VARCHAR2';
-- Type the string you are looking at
v_search_string VARCHAR2(4000) :='%lower-search-sub-string%';
BEGIN
FOR t IN (SELECT table_name, column_name FROM all_tab_cols where owner=v_owner and data_type = v_data_type) LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '||t.table_name||' WHERE lower('||t.column_name||') like :1'
INTO match_count
USING v_search_string;
IF match_count > 0 THEN
dbms_output.put_line( t.table_name ||' '||t.column_name||' '||match_count );
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;

I modified Flood's script to execute once for each table rather than for every column of each table for faster execution. It requires Oracle 11g or greater.
set serveroutput on size 100000

-- The string to be searched for (case-insensitive)
v_search_string varchar2(4000) := 'FIND_ME';
-- Store the SQL to execute for each table in a CLOB to get around the 32767 byte max size for a VARCHAR2 in PL/SQL
v_sql clob := '';

(select table_name from all_tab_columns where owner = all_tables.owner and data_type like '%' || upper(v_data_type) || '%')
order by table_name) loop
v_counter := 0;
v_sql := '';
for cur_columns in (select column_name from all_tab_columns where
owner = v_owner and table_name = cur_tables.table_name and data_type like '%' || upper(v_data_type) || '%') loop

v_sql := v_sql || ' or ';
end if;
v_sql := v_sql || 'upper(' || cur_columns.column_name || ') like ''%' || upper(v_search_string) || '%''';
v_counter := v_counter + 1;

I was having following issues for #Lalit Kumars answer,
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
ORA-00904: "SUCCESS": invalid identifier
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_XMLGEN", line 288
ORA-06512: at line 1
19202. 00000 - "Error occurred in XML processing%s"
*Cause: An error occurred when processing the XML function
*Action: Check the given error message and fix the appropriate problem
Solution is:
WITH char_cols AS
(SELECT /*+materialize */ table_name, column_name
FROM cols
WHERE data_type IN ('CHAR', 'VARCHAR2'))
SELECT DISTINCT SUBSTR (:val, 1, 11) "Searchword",
SUBSTR (table_name, 1, 14) "Table",
SUBSTR (column_name, 1, 14) "Column"
FROM char_cols,
TABLE (xmlsequence (dbms_xmlgen.getxmltype ('select "'
|| column_name
|| '" from "'
|| table_name
|| '" where upper("'
|| column_name
|| '") like upper(''%'
|| :val
|| '%'')' ).extract ('ROWSET/ROW/*') ) ) t
ORDER BY "Table"

I would do something like this (generates all the selects you need).
You can later on feed them to sqlplus:
echo "select table_name from user_tables;" | sqlplus -S user/pwd | grep -v "^--" | grep -v "TABLE_NAME" | grep "^[A-Z]" | while read sw;
do echo "desc $sw" | sqlplus -S user/pwd | grep -v "\-\-\-\-\-\-" | awk -F' ' '{print $1}' | while read nw;
do echo "select * from $sw where $nw='val'";
done;
done;
It yields:
select * from TBL1 where DESCRIPTION='val'
select * from TBL1 where ='val'
select * from TBL2 where Name='val'
select * from TBL2 where LNG_ID='val'
And what it does is - for each table_name from user_tables get each field (from desc) and create a select * from table where field equals 'val'.
if we know the table and colum names but want to find out the number of times string is appearing for each schema:
Declare
owner VARCHAR2(1000);
tbl VARCHAR2(1000);
cnt number;
ct number;
str_sql varchar2(1000);
reason varchar2(1000);
x varchar2(1000):='%string_to_be_searched%';

I don't of a simple solution on the SQL promprt. Howeve there are quite a few tools like toad and PL/SQL Developer that have a GUI where a user can input the string to be searched and it will return the table/procedure/object where this is found.
There are some free tools that make these kind of search, for example, this one works fine and source code is available:
https://sites.google.com/site/freejansoft/dbsearch
You'll need the Oracle ODBC driver and a DSN to use this tool.
Modifying the code to search case-insensitively using a LIKE query instead of finding exact matches...
DECLARE
match_count INTEGER;
-- Type the owner of the tables you want to search.
v_owner VARCHAR2(255) :='USER';
-- Type the data type you're looking for (in CAPS). Examples include: VARCHAR2, NUMBER, etc.
v_data_type VARCHAR2(255) :='VARCHAR2';
-- Type the string you are looking for.

dbms_output.put_line( 'Starting the search...' );

IF match_count > 0 THEN
dbms_output.put_line( t.table_name ||' '||t.column_name||' '||match_count );

Borrowing, slightly enhancing and simplifying from this Blog post the following simple SQL statement seems to do the job quite well:
SELECT DISTINCT (:val) "Search Value", TABLE_NAME "Table", COLUMN_NAME "Column"
FROM cols,
TABLE (XMLSEQUENCE (DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXMLTYPE(
'SELECT "' || COLUMN_NAME || '" FROM "' || TABLE_NAME || '" WHERE UPPER("'
|| COLUMN_NAME || '") LIKE UPPER(''%' || :val || '%'')' ).EXTRACT ('ROWSET/ROW/*')))
ORDER BY "Table";
The Oracle LIKE condition allows wildcards to be used in the WHERE clause of a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement.
%: to match any string of any length
Eg-
SELECT last_name
FROM customer_tab
WHERE last_name LIKE '%A%';
-: to match on a single character
Eg-
SELECT last_name
FROM customer_tab
WHERE last_name LIKE 'A_t';

--end loop;
You may append the constant values of date and the error message to the subquery and run a dynamic insert. It should also work if you remove the outer parentheses of your dynamic sql since constants can be included in group by. Always remember to pass values as bind variables rather than concatenating them (v_param). Also, specify the column names explicitly in an INSERT statement.
v_sql := '(select count(*) as cnt, error_code
from (
select error_code from sm_histable'||v_month||''||v_day||'#ORASMSC01
where orgaccount = :x and destaccount = :x and sm_status <> 1
union all
select error_code from sm_histable'||v_month||''||v_day||'#ORASMSC02
where orgaccount = :x and destaccount = :x and sm_status <> 1 )
group by error_code)';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql bulk collect into v_t1_result using v_param;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'insert into t_c_rpt_result2(err_dt,err_msg,errcount,error_code)
select :dt,:msg,cnt,error_code from '|| v_sql
USING trunc(sysdate, 'DD'),'Failure_error_Code_P2P',v_param;
I think you are looking at an excellent use case for FORALL. The collection you are populating needs to be done with execute immediate since you are dynamically constructing the table name. But the insert into t_c_rpt_result2 looks static to me.
BEGIN
v_sql :=
'(select count(*) as cnt, error_code
from (
select error_code from sm_histable'
|| v_month
|| ''
|| v_day
|| '#ORASMSC01
where orgaccount = :x and destaccount = :x and sm_status <> 1
union all
select error_code from sm_histable'
|| v_month
|| ''
|| v_day
|| '#ORASMSC02
where orgaccount = :x and destaccount = :x and sm_status <> 1 )
group by error_code)';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql BULK COLLECT INTO v_t1_result USING v_param;
FORALL indx IN 1 .. v_t1_result.COUNT
INSERT INTO t_c_rpt_result2 (err_dt,
err_msg,
errcount,
ERROR_CODE)
VALUES (TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'DD'),
'Failure_error_Code_P2P',
v_t1_result (indx).cnt,
v_t1_result (indx).ERROR_CODE);
END;
Find more examples of FORALL on LiveSQL here. Of course, even if your insert was dynamic, you can use FORALL - put the execute immediate directly "inside" the FORALL statement. But I don't think that complexity is justified here.
Hope that helps!

PL/SQL nested loop (loop within a loop)

Below is a PL/SQL I'm working on
declare
v_sql varchar2(500);
BEGIN
for t in (
SELECT distinct ID
FROM TABLEB
) loop
for c in (
select * from (
select 'delete from ' as test
from dual
union all
select 'TABLEA'||' where ' as test
from dual
union all
select 'ID='||t.ID
from dual
)
) loop
v_sql := v_sql || c.test;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(v_sql);
end loop;
END;
/
The result I'm getting is this
delete from TABLEA where ID=1
delete from TABLEA where ID=1delete from TABLEA where ID=2
I want
delete from TABLEA where ID=1
delete from TABLEA where ID=2
Any help on the PLSQL will be appreciated
What is the purpose of the inner FOR loop? It does nothing that requires a loop, and can be simply rewritten like this:
declare
v_sql varchar2(500);
begin
for t in (select distinct id from tableb) loop
v_sql := 'delete from tablea where id = ' || t.id ||';';
dbms_output.put_line(v_sql);
end loop;
end;
/
BTW, it seems that you're missing the terminating semicolon in line v_sql := ...
Demonstration on HR's DEPARTMENTS table:
SQL> declare
2 v_sql varchar2(500);
3 begin
4 for t in (select distinct department_id id from departments) loop
5 v_sql := 'delete from tablea where id = ' || t.id ||';';
6 dbms_output.put_line(v_sql);
7 end loop;
8 end;
9 /
delete from tablea where id = 10;
delete from tablea where id = 20;
delete from tablea where id = 30;
delete from tablea where id = 40;
delete from tablea where id = 50;
delete from tablea where id = 60;
<snip>
You're not clearing the buffer after you've printed the statement, so you're appending the next statement to the first one. To clear the buffer, add
v_sql := NULL;
after the line which reads
dbms_output.put_line(v_sql);
Best of luck.

How to determine row count for all tables in an Oracle Schema [duplicate]

I am trying to get the record counts of all tables in a schema. I am having trouble writing the PL/SQL. Here is what I have done so far, but I am getting errors. Please suggest any changes:
DECLARE
v_owner varchar2(40);
v_table_name varchar2(40);
cursor get_tables is
select distinct table_name,user
from user_tables
where lower(user) = 'SCHEMA_NAME';
begin
open get_tables;
fetch get_tables into v_table_name,v_owner;
INSERT INTO STATS_TABLE(TABLE_NAME,SCHEMA_NAME,RECORD_COUNT,CREATED)
SELECT v_table_name,v_owner,COUNT(*),TO_DATE(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YY') FROM v_table_name;
CLOSE get_tables;
END;
This can be done with a single statement and some XML magic:
select table_name,
to_number(extractvalue(xmltype(dbms_xmlgen.getxml('select count(*) c from '||owner||'.'||table_name)),'/ROWSET/ROW/C')) as count
from all_tables
where owner = 'FOOBAR'
This should do it:
declare
v_count integer;
begin
for r in (select table_name, owner from all_tables
where owner = 'SCHEMA_NAME')
loop
execute immediate 'select count(*) from ' || r.table_name
into v_count;
INSERT INTO STATS_TABLE(TABLE_NAME,SCHEMA_NAME,RECORD_COUNT,CREATED)
VALUES (r.table_name,r.owner,v_count,SYSDATE);
end loop;
end;
I removed various bugs from your code.
Note: For the benefit of other readers, Oracle does not provide a table called STATS_TABLE, you would need to create it.
select owner, table_name, num_rows, sample_size, last_analyzed from all_tables;
This is the fastest way to retrieve the row counts but there are a few important caveats:
NUM_ROWS is only 100% accurate if statistics were gathered in 11g and above with ESTIMATE_PERCENT => DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE (the default), or in earlier versions with ESTIMATE_PERCENT => 100. See this post for an explanation of how
the AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE algorithm works in 11g.
Results were generated as of LAST_ANALYZED, the current results may be different.
If you want simple SQL for Oracle (e.g. have XE with no XmlGen) go for a simple 2-step:
select ('(SELECT ''' || table_name || ''' as Tablename,COUNT(*) FROM "' || table_name || '") UNION') from USER_TABLES;
Copy the entire result and replace the last UNION with a semi-colon (';'). Then as the 2nd step execute the resulting SQL.
Get counts of all tables in a schema and order by desc
select 'with tmp(table_name, row_number) as (' from dual
union all
select 'select '''||table_name||''',count(*) from '||table_name||' union ' from USER_TABLES
union all
select 'select '''',0 from dual) select table_name,row_number from tmp order by row_number desc ;' from dual;
Copy the entire result and execute
You have to use execute immediate (dynamic sql).
DECLARE
v_owner varchar2(40);
v_table_name varchar2(40);
cursor get_tables is
select distinct table_name,user
from user_tables
where lower(user) = 'schema_name';
begin
open get_tables;
loop
fetch get_tables into v_table_name,v_owner;
EXIT WHEN get_tables%NOTFOUND;
execute immediate 'INSERT INTO STATS_TABLE(TABLE_NAME,SCHEMA_NAME,RECORD_COUNT,CREATED)
SELECT ''' || v_table_name || ''' , ''' || v_owner ||''',COUNT(*),TO_DATE(SYSDATE,''DD-MON-YY'') FROM ' || v_table_name;
end loop;
CLOSE get_tables;
END;
