Passing table name and coloumn value as variables in dynamic sqls - oracle

Here is my code:
create or replace
procedure postGateway (flgManual in nvarchar2, segmentID in number) as
sequel string(2000);
cursor download_cursor is
select downloadid from ipcsdd_download_process where status LIKE 'W' OR status
LIKE 'E';
cursor table_cursor is
select table_name from user_tab_columns where column_name = 'DOWNLOADID' and
table_name like 'IPCSDD%' OR table_name like 'IPCSCUSTDD' group by table_name;
begin
for download in download_cursor
loop
dbms_output.put_line('DownloadID: ' || download.downloadid );
for usertable in table_cursor
loop
sequel:=' select * FROM'||usertable.table_name||'where downloadid='||download.downloadid;
execute immediate sequel;
dbms_output.put_line(' select * from'||usertable.table_name||'where downloadid='||download.downloadid);
end loop;
end loop;
end postGateway ;
What I doing here is: In first cursor I am trying to get the downloadids whose status are W or E. In the second cursor I am trying to get the tables which have downloadid coloumn and those table name should start with IPCSDD or IPCSCUSTDD.
Now I have to write a query such that In every table starting from IPCSDD that i get from cursor 2 i need to see if a data is present for the downloadid that i get from cursor 1. I tried writing dynamic sql but it gives me error saying "00923. 00000 - "FROM keyword not found where expected"" .
How can I achieve this?
Thanks

You simply neglected to add spaces after and before your keywords, with a space after FROM and a space before where:
sequel:=' select * FROM '||usertable.table_name||' where downloadid='||download.downloadid;

Insert into not working on plsql in oracle

declare
vquery long;
cursor c1 is
select * from temp_name;
begin
for i in c1
loop
vquery :='INSERT INTO ot.temp_new(id)
select '''||i.id||''' from ot.customers';
dbms_output.put_line(i.id);
end loop;
end;
/
Output of select * from temp_name is :
ID
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
customer_id
1 row selected.
I have customers table which has customer_id column.I want to insert all the customer_id into temp_new table but it is not being inserted. The PLSQL block executes successfully but the temp_new table is empty.
The output of dbms_output.put_line(i.id); is
customer_id
What is wrong there?
The main problem is that you generate a dynamic statement that you never execute; at some point you need to do:
execute immediate vquery;
But there are other problems. If you output the generated vquery string you'll see it contains:
INSERT INTO ot.temp_new(id)
select 'customer_id' from ot.customers
which means that for every row in customers you'll get one row in temp_new with ID set to the same fixed literal 'customer_id'. It's unlikely that's what you want; if customer_id is a column name from customers then it shouldn't be in single quotes.
As #mathguy suggested, long is not a sensible data type to use; you could use a CLOB but only really need a varchar2 here. So something more like this, where I've also switched to use an implicit cursor:
declare
l_stmt varchar2(4000);
begin
for i in (select id from temp_name)
loop
l_stmt := 'INSERT INTO temp_new(id) select '||i.id||' from customers';
dbms_output.put_line(i.id);
dbms_output.put_line(l_stmt);
execute immediate l_stmt;
end loop;
end;
/
db<>fiddle
The loop doesn't really make sense though; if your temp_name table had multiple rows with different column names, you'd try to insert the corresponding values from those columns in the customers table into multiple rows in temp_new, all in the same id column, as shown in this db<>fiddle.
I guess this is the starting point for something more complicated, but still seems a little odd.

PL/SQL %rowtype variable declaration represents inner join

In my PL/SQL script, how do I declare JUSTIFIC_REC when it represents a join?
SELECT *
INTO JUSTIFIC_REC
FROM TABLE1 A
INNER JOIN TABLE2 B
ON A.ID_JUSTIFIC = B.ID_JUSTIFIC ;
All I want is to insert into a TABLE3 a concatenated row:
INSERT INTO MOF_OUTACCDTL_REQ VALUES(
JUSTIFIC_rec.ENTRY_COMMENTS || ' ' || JUSTIFIC_rec.DESCRIPTION );
How should the declaration of JUSTIFIC_REC be like in the beginning of my script?
If it wasn't for the INNER JOIN , I would write something like:
JUSTIFIC_rec TABLE1%ROWTYPE;
If I understood correctly you can try with cursor rowtype like this (not sure if that is what you meant by declaring your variable type for the select with joins):
set serveroutput on;
declare
cursor cur is
SELECT ENTRY_COMMENTS, DESCRIPTION
FROM TABLE1 A
INNER JOIN TABLE2 B
ON A.ID_JUSTIFIC = B.ID_JUSTIFIC ;
justific_rec cur%ROWTYPE;
begin
open cur;
loop
fetch cur into justific_rec;
exit when cur%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line(justific_rec.entry_comments || ' ' || justific_rec.description);
end loop;
close cur;
end;
Answer to your question is itself in your question. You have to use the %row type
tow type attribute can be any of the below type:
rowtype_attribute :=
{cursor_name | cursor_variable_name | table_name} % ROWTYPE
cursor_name:-
An explicit cursor previously declared within the current scope.
cursor_variable_name:-
A PL/SQL strongly typed cursor variable, previously declared within the current scope.
table_name:-
A database table or view that must be accessible when the declaration is elaborated.
So code will looks like
DECLARE
CURSOR c1 IS
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 A
INNER JOIN TABLE2 B
ON A.ID_JUSTIFIC = B.ID_JUSTIFIC ;
justific_rec c1%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
open c1;
loop
fetch c1 into justific_rec;
exit when c1%notfound;
INSERT INTO MOF_OUTACCDTL_REQ VALUES(
JUSTIFIC_rec.ENTRY_COMMENTS || ' ' || JUSTIFIC_rec.DESCRIPTION );
end loop;
close c1;
END;
/
You need to use BULK COLLECT INTO
SELECT *
BULK COLLECT INTO JUSTIFIC_REC
FROM TABLE1 A
INNER JOIN TABLE2 B
ON A.ID_JUSTIFIC = B.ID_JUSTIFIC ;
The JUSTIFIC_REC is needed to be TABLE type with appropriate columns
If all you're wanting to do is insert into a table based on a select statement, then there's no need for PL/SQL (by which I mean there's no need to open a cursor, fetch a row, process the row and then move on to the next row) - that's row-by-row aka slow-by-slow processing.
Instead, you can do this all in a single insert statement, e.g.:
INSERT INTO mof_outaccdtl_rec (<column being inserted into>) -- please always list the columns being inserted into; this avoids issues with your code when someone adds a column to the table.
SELECT entry_comments || ' ' || description -- please alias your columns! How do we know which table each column came from?
FROM table1 a
inner join table2 b on a.id_justific = b.id_justific;
If you wanted to embed this insert statement in PL/SQL, all you need to do is add a begin/end around it, like so:
begin
INSERT INTO mof_outaccdtl_rec (<column being inserted into>) -- please always list the columns being inserted into; this avoids issues with your code when someone adds a column to the table.
SELECT entry_comments || ' ' || description -- please alias your columns! How do we know which table each column came from?
FROM table1 a
inner join table2 b on a.id_justific = b.id_justific;
end;
/
This is the preferred solution when working with databases - think in sets (where possible) not procedurally (aka row-by-row processing). It is easier to maintain, the code is simpler to read and write, and it'll be more performant since you're not having to switch between PL/SQL and SQL several times with each row.
Context switching is bad for performance - think in terms of a bath full of water - is it quicker to empty the bath with a spoon (row-by-row processing), with a jug (batched rows - by - batched rows) or by pulling the plug (set-based)?

select statement based on table content

I have code_table which contain the below columns:
- ID
- FIELD_NAME
- TABLE_NAME
- WHERE_CONDITION
now, I need to write select statement that return table contain 2 columns, the first column is code_table.ID, and the other column is the result of the below select statement
select code_table.FIELD_NAME
from code_table.TABLE_NAME
where code_table.WHERE_CONDITION = 1;
how can I solve it ?
Try this using anonymous block. Hope this helps
DECLARE
cursor cur_code_tab is
select id,field_name,table_name,where_condition from code_table;
sql_query varchar2(500);
BEGIN
for i in cur_code_tab loop
sql_query:='select '''||i.id||''','||i.field_name||' from '||i.table_name||' where '||i.where_condition=1;
execute immediate(sql_query);
end loop;
END;

PL/SQL Extract Column Names and use in select statment

not sure if this is possible at all but im trying to do this with as little manual work as possible.
I have a table with 150 columns based on different combinations of factors.
I wish to extract the column names where a certain certain string is inside the column name.
I have done the following which does this. This is a basic example of what I have
--Create the table
Create Table temp
(id number,
Fac1_Fac2_Fac_3_Fac4_Fac5 number,
Fac1_Fac6_Fac_3_Fac4_Fac5 number,
Fac1_Fac6_Fac_7_Fac4_Fac5 number,
Fac1_Fac9_Fac_3_Fac4_Fac5 number,
Fac1_Fac10_Fac_3_Fac4_Fac5 number,
Fac1_Fac2_Fac_3_Fac11_Fac5 number,
Fac1_Fac2_Fac_3_Fac4_Fac12 number,
Fac13_Fac2_Fac_3_Fac4_Fac5 number);
Insert into temp Values (1,35634,3243,343,564,56,4635,3,334);
Insert into temp Values (2,3434234,3243,343,564,56,435,3,34234);
Insert into temp Values (3,5555,3243,33,564,56,435,3,3434);
Insert into temp Values (4,34234,343,343,564,56,4335,3,34);
commit;
--Extract Column Names
Select * from (
Select COLUMN_NAME
from user_tab_cols
where lower(table_name) ='temp'
)
where column_name like '%FAC13%'
--This is what I want to automate.
Select id, FAC13_FAC2_FAC_3_FAC4_FAC5
From temp
--I want the column name to come fron the select statment above as there may be lots of names.
Basically, I want to select all the rows from my table that have Fac13 in the column name all in one query if possible.
Thanks
I do not think you can do that in one query. First, your extract column names query can be simplified to one query as a cursor, and then use a dynamic select statement as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE proc_dyn_select IS
CURSOR c1 IS
SELECT column_name
FROM user_tab_cols
WHERE LOWER(table_name) ='temp' and column_name LIKE '%FAC13%';
cols c1%ROWTYPE;
sqlstmt VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
LOOP
FETCH c1 into cols;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
sqlstmt := sqlstmt ||cols.column_name||',';
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
sqlstmt := 'select '||substr(sqlstmt, 1, length(sqlstmt)-1)||' FROM temp';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlstmt;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('error '||sqlerrm);
END;
/
Explanation
First, the cursor will store the columns that meet your conditions (to be from the table temp and the column names have the sub string FAC13. Then in execution section (after BEGIN), you will build your query dynamically using columns names stored in the cursor c1. With each round of the loop, a column name is added as a string and concatenated with a comma. So a string of columns will be built like this 'col1, col2, col3, ... coln,'. The string is stored in sqlstmt variable.
After the loop end, you amend the string to build sql statement, by adding the keywords SELECT, FROM and table name. However, we remove the last character of the sqlstmt variable, as it is an extra comma.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement, will run the query stored in sqlstmt.
By using a procedure, you can always pass parameters, such that this procedure can perform any dynamic sql statement you want.

FORALL+ EXECUTE IMMEDIATE + INSERT Into tbl SELECT

I have got stuck in below and getting syntax error - Please help.
Basically I am using a collection to store few department ids and then would like to use these department ids as a filter condition while inserting data into emp table in FORALL statement.
Below is sample code:
while compiling this code i am getting error, my requirement is to use INSERT INTO table select * from table and cannot avoid it so please suggest.
create or replace Procedure abc(dblink VARCHAR2)
CURSOR dept_id is select dept_ids from dept;
TYPE nt_dept_detail IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(25);
l_dept_array nt_dept_detail;
Begin
OPEN dept_id;
FETCH dept_id BULK COLLECT INTO l_dept_array;
IF l_dept_array.COUNT() > 0 THEN
FORALL i IN 1..l_dept_array.COUNT SAVE EXCEPTIONS
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO stg_emp SELECT
Dept,''DEPT_10'' FROM dept_emp'||dblink||' WHERE
dept_id = '||l_dept_array(i)||'';
COMMIT;
END IF;
CLOSE dept_id;
end abc;
Why are you bothering to use cursors, arrays etc in the first place? Why can't you just do a simple insert as select?
Problems with your procedure as listed above:
You don't declare procedures like Procedure abc () - for a standalone procedure, you would do create or replace procedure abc as, or in a package: procedure abc is
You reference a variable called "dblink" that isn't declared anywhere.
You didn't put end abc; at the end of your procedure (I hope that was just a mis-c&p?)
You're effectively doing a simple insert as select, but you're way over-complicating it, plus you're making your code less performant.
You've not listed the column names that you're trying to insert into; if stg_emp has more than two columns or ends up having columns added, your code is going to fail.
Assuming your dblink name isn't known until runtime, then here's something that would do what you're after:
create Procedure abc (dblink in varchar2)
is
begin
execute immediate 'insert into stg_emp select dept, ''DEPT_10'' from dept_emp#'||dblink||
' where dept_id in (select dept_ids from dept)';
commit;
end abc;
/
If, however, you do know the dblink name, then you'd just get rid of the execute immediate and do:
create Procedure abc (dblink in varchar2)
is
begin
insert into stg_emp -- best to list the column names you're inserting into here
select dept, 'DEPT_10'
from dept_emp#dblink
where dept_id in (select dept_ids from dept);
commit;
end abc;
/
There appears te be a lot wrong with this code.
1) why the execute immediate? Is there any explicit requirement for that? No, than don't use it
2) where is the dblink variable declared?
3) as Boneist already stated, why not a simple subselect in the insert statement?
INSERT INTO stg_emp SELECT
Dept,'DEPT_10' FROM dept_emp#dblink WHERE
dept_id in (select dept_ids from dept );
For one, it would make the code actually readable ;)
