I have the following simple script.
declare
begin
null;
end;
create table &&DB_SCHEMA..test_table (
test_column varchar(20)
);
Executing it ends with the following error
ORA-06550: line 6, column 1:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CREATE"
00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:
Can't I use the DDL directly after an anonymous block? Am I forced to do it with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE inside the anonymous block?
You are simply missing a '/':
SQL> declare
2 begin
3 null;
4 end;
5 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> create table create_test_table (
2 test_column varchar(20)
3 );
Table created.
Here you find something more.

Here is a simple example using Toad for Data Analysts 3.0.1.1734. I have full permissions on the schema JSWEENEY.
Create the table
CREATE TABLE JSWEENEY.TEMP_SQL
(
SQL VARCHAR2(3000)
);
Create the procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO JSWEENEY.TEMP_SQL(SQL) VALUES('SELECT * FROM TEMP_SQL');
COMMIT;
END JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL;
/
Execute the procedure:
BEGIN
JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL;
END;
The first error:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 11:
PLS-00905: object JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL is invalid
ORA-06550: line 2, column 2: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Execute the procedure:
BEGIN
EXECUTE JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL;
END;
The second error:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 10:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "JSWEENEY" when expecting one of the following: := . ( # % ; immediate The symbol ":=" was substituted for "JSWEENEY" to continue.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
When you compile the procedure you will get an error; if your client doesn't display that then you can query the user_errors view (or all_errors if you're creating it in a different schema) to see the problem. Here it will be complaining that:
LINE/COL ERROR
-------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
6/13 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "." when expecting one of the following:
;
It's valid to use the schema name in the create call; but not as part of the end. So if you need to specify the schema at all - which you don't if you're creating an object in your own schema, but your reference to permissions makes it sound like you aren't - then it should be:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO JSWEENEY.TEMP_SQL(SQL) VALUES('SELECT * FROM TEMP_SQL');
COMMIT;
END SP_INSERT_SQL;
/
Your second error is because execute on its is a client command (in SQL*Plus and relations), not a PL/SQL statement. The error refers to immediate because PL/SQL does have an execute immediate statement which is used for dynamic SQL, not for making static calls to procedures. Your first syntax to run the procedure is correct, once the procedure itself is valid:
BEGIN
JSWEENEY.SP_INSERT_SQL;
END;
/
try this edited the SQL statement.
create table TEMP_SQL ( col1 varchar2(100));
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP_INSERT_SQL
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TEMP_SQL SELECT * FROM TEMP_SQL;
COMMIT;
END SP_INSERT_SQL;
This is my code:
create or replace procedure p1
as
begin
create table emp_1 as (select * from emp);
end;
sql>exec p;
Then I get this error:
as ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'P1'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
You have several unclear issues :
Your procedure is p1 and you execute p. Why?
You can't execute create table statement inside a procedure like select or other DML. Use "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE" statement for that.
Why you are trying to create the table inside the procedure ? You can execute the statement directly with no procedure.
Try this ....
create or replace procedure p
as
begin
execute immediate 'create table emp_1 as (select * from emp)';
end;
sql>exec p;

How to test an Oracle Stored Procedure with RefCursor return type?
(6 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I create the procedure to output multi rows and columns.
create or replace PROCEDURE MYPROC(
C1 OUT SYS_REFCURSOR )
AS
BEGIN
OPEN C1 FOR SELECT * FROM A_TABLE;
END MYPROC;
There is no error when I compiled it.
But I Can't call my procedure as normal like
Exec MYPROC;
I've got this error.
Error report -
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:

But when I run without script, it displayed my expected result.
So please help me how can I execute this procedure?
Thank You.
Error is because you are not passing any parameter to the procedure when it expects 1.
You need define a refcursor variable and then pass the variable into the procedure and finally read it.
var cur refcursor;
exec MYPROC(c1 => :cur);
print cur;
or
var cur refcursor;
begin
MYPROC(c1 => :cur);
end;
/
print cur;
Using Oracle SQL Developer I created a simple procedure. The procedure compiles successfully, but when I type the command:

Please help me to solve this. I know it's a small error. Also I have specified the data types, declarations of names correctly.
My procedure code is
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CMPPROJECTPROCSELECT(
p_projectname IN VARCHAR2,
p_description OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
BEGIN
SELECT DESCRIPTION
INTO p_description
FROM CMPPROJECT
WHERE PROJECTNAME = p_projectname;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
p_description:= NULL;
COMMIT;
END CMPPROJECTPROCSELECT;
execute CMPPROJECTPROCSELECT();
BEGIN CMPPROJECTPROCSELECT();
END;
EXECUTE is SQL*Plus command.
You are not passing the required parameters to the procedure. You have declared two parameters for your procedure:
p_projectname IN VARCHAR2,
p_description OUT VARCHAR2
So, you need to declare the required parameters and then pass it to the procedure:
DECLARE
proj_desc VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
CMPPROJECTPROCSELECT('project_name', proj_desc);
-- use the OUT value of proj_desc later
END;
/
On a side note, you do not need COMMIT at all. It is required to permanently commit a DML and has nothing to do with a SELECT ..INTO clause.
SELECT DESCRIPTION INTO p_description FROM CMPPROJECT WHERE PROJECTNAME = p_projectname;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
p_description:= NULL;
COMMIT; -- You don't need COMMIT at all

I don't believe that your procedure compiled successfully. When I try to compile it on my system, I get syntax errors

I would be shocked if you really wanted the input parameter to be declared as CHAR. Almost always, you should use VARCHAR2 for character strings. It is exceptionally rare to come across a case where you really want the blank-padding semantics of a CHAR.
this is working dude;
create or replace
procedure greet(message in char)
as
begin
dbms_output.put_line('Greet Message : ' || message);
end;
see main property of char datatype is is the length of input data is less than the size you specified it'll add blank spaces.this case is not happened for varchar2.
in procedure above mentioned char property is violated so it's almost treat like varchar2. so if you remove size of input parameter it will work and also char support maximum length of input.
