Oracle: PLSQL query with relaxable where condition - elegant way to realize - oracle

Look at the following query. How could I write it in a more readable way?
I'd like to reduce the usage of IF
vSQL := ' SELECT loc.RMV_REMI_VIRTUALE_COD, loc.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN FROM ENI_SAG_TSF_LOCALITA_DEF loc WHERE 1=1 ';
IF P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD IS NOT NULL THEN
vSQL := vSQL||' AND LOC.LOC_LOCALITA_COD = '''||P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD||''' ';
END IF;
IF P_ISTAT_CITTA IS NOT NULL THEN
vSQL := vSQL||' AND loc.COMB_ISTAT_COD = '''||P_ISTAT_CITTA||''' ';
END IF;
IF P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD IS NOT NULL THEN
vSQL := vSQL||' AND LOC.PLAY_PLAYER_COD = '''||P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD||''' ';
END IF;
IF P_LOC_DATA IS NOT NULL THEN
vSQL := vSQL||' AND TO_TIMESTAMP ('''||P_LOC_DATA||''' , ''DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS.FF3'') BETWEEN LOC.LOC_DATA_VER_INI AND LOC.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN ';
END IF;

Well I always find code that uses bind variables rather than concatenation of values easier to read (and it is much better practice). You don't say how the SQL will be run, but assuming a REF CURSOR you could do it like this:
vSQL := ' SELECT loc.RMV_REMI_VIRTUALE_COD, loc.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN FROM ENI_SAG_TSF_LOCALITA_DEF loc WHERE 1=1 ';
IF P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD IS NOT NULL THEN
vSQL := vSQL||' AND LOC.LOC_LOCALITA_COD = :P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD ';
ELSE
vSQL := vSQL||' AND (1=1 OR :P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD IS NULL)';
END IF;
IF P_ISTAT_CITTA IS NOT NULL THEN
vSQL := vSQL||' AND loc.COMB_ISTAT_COD = :P_ISTAT_CITTA ';
ELSE
vSQL := vSQL||' AND (1=1 OR :P_ISTAT_CITTA IS NULL)';
END IF;
IF P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD IS NOT NULL THEN
vSQL := vSQL||' AND LOC.PLAY_PLAYER_COD = :P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD ';
ELSE
vSQL := vSQL||' AND (1=1 OR :P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD IS NULL)';
END IF;
IF P_LOC_DATA IS NOT NULL THEN
vSQL := vSQL||' AND TO_TIMESTAMP (:P_LOC_DATA, ''DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS.FF3'') BETWEEN LOC.LOC_DATA_VER_INI AND LOC.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN ';
ELSE
vSQL := vSQL||' AND (1=1 OR :P_LOC_DATA IS NULL)';
END IF;
OPEN refcur FOR vSQL USING P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD, P_ISTAT_CITTA, P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD, P_LOC_DATA;
I added the ELSE clauses because for native dynamic SQL the number of bind variables in the statement has to be fixed. If using the DBMS_SQL package you don't need to do that.
As for avoiding the IFs, you could do this:
vSQL := ' SELECT loc.RMV_REMI_VIRTUALE_COD, loc.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN FROM ENI_SAG_TSF_LOCALITA_DEF loc WHERE 1=1 ';
|| CASE WHEN P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD IS NOT NULL THEN
' AND LOC.LOC_LOCALITA_COD = :P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD '
ELSE
' AND (1=1 OR :P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD IS NULL)'
END
|| CASE WHEN P_ISTAT_CITTA IS NOT NULL THEN
' AND loc.COMB_ISTAT_COD = :P_ISTAT_CITTA '
ELSE
' AND (1=1 OR :P_ISTAT_CITTA IS NULL)'
END
... etc.
Obviously you now have CASEs instead, but at least you lose all the vSQL := vSQL || bits.
If you are adding a lot of similar conditions you could wrap the logic in a function like:
vSQL := ' SELECT loc.RMV_REMI_VIRTUALE_COD, loc.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN FROM ENI_SAG_TSF_LOCALITA_DEF loc WHERE 1=1 ';
|| and_condition ('LOC.LOC_LOCALITA_COD', 'BV1', P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD)
|| and_condition ('loc.COMB_ISTAT_COD', 'BV2', P_ISTAT_CITTA)
... etc.
(That doesn't work for the BETWEEN condition of course).

"More readable" is a little subjective but a couple of options if you don't like the IF THEN blocks are:
vSQL := ' SELECT loc.RMV_REMI_VIRTUALE_COD, loc.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN FROM ENI_SAG_TSF_LOCALITA_DEF loc WHERE 1=1 ';
vSQL := vSQL||
NVL2(P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD,
' AND LOC.LOC_LOCALITA_COD = '''||P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD||''' ',
NULL);
vSQL := vSQL||
NVL2(P_ISTAT_CITTA,
' AND loc.COMB_ISTAT_COD = '''||P_ISTAT_CITTA||''' ',
NULL);
vSQL := vSQL||
NVL2(P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD,
' AND LOC.PLAY_PLAYER_COD = '''||P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD||''' ',
NULL);
vSQL := vSQL||
NVL2(P_LOC_DATA,
' AND TO_TIMESTAMP ('''||P_LOC_DATA||''' , ''DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS.FF3'') BETWEEN LOC.LOC_DATA_VER_INI AND LOC.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN ',
NULL);
or
vSQL := ' SELECT loc.RMV_REMI_VIRTUALE_COD, loc.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN FROM ENI_SAG_TSF_LOCALITA_DEF loc WHERE 1=1 '
||NVL2(P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD,
' AND LOC.LOC_LOCALITA_COD = '''||P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD||''' ',
NULL)
||NVL2(P_ISTAT_CITTA,
' AND loc.COMB_ISTAT_COD = '''||P_ISTAT_CITTA||''' ',
NULL)
||NVL2(P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD,
' AND LOC.PLAY_PLAYER_COD = '''||P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD||''' ',
NULL)
||NVL2(P_LOC_DATA,
' AND TO_TIMESTAMP ('''||P_LOC_DATA||''' , ''DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS.FF3'') BETWEEN LOC.LOC_DATA_VER_INI AND LOC.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN ',
NULL);
Hope it helps...

Reading your answer I found this formulation. What do you think about it?
SELECT loc.RMV_REMI_VIRTUALE_COD, loc.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN
FROM ENI_SAG_TSF_LOCALITA_DEF loc
WHERE 1 = 1
AND (LOC.LOC_LOCALITA_COD = :P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD OR :P_LOC_LOCALITA_COD IS NULL)
AND (loc.COMB_ISTAT_COD = :P_ISTAT_CITTA OR :P_ISTAT_CITTA IS NULL)
AND (LOC.PLAY_PLAYER_COD = :P_PLAY_PLAYER_COD OR LOC.PLAY_PLAYER_COD IS NULL)
AND (TO_TIMESTAMP (:P_LOC_DATA, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS.FF3') BETWEEN LOC.LOC_DATA_VER_INI AND LOC.LOC_DATA_VER_FIN OR :P_LOC_DATA IS NULL)

How do I limit my PL/SQL query to search only relevant tables?

I'm trying to write a PL/SQL script that searches the entire database for a string and report the tables and columns it finds it in. It looks like this:
DECLARE
ncount NUMBER;
vwhere VARCHAR2(1000) := '';
vsearchstr VARCHAR2(1000) := 'search string here';
vresult VARCHAR2(10000) := 'result: ';
vtab VARCHAR2(1000) := '';
vcol VARCHAR2(1000) := '';
BEGIN
FOR k IN (SELECT a.table_name, a.column_name FROM all_tab_columns a WHERE a.data_type LIKE '%VARCHAR%')
LOOP
vtab := k.table_name;
vcol := k.column_name;
vwhere := ' where ' || vcolumnname || ' = :vsearchstr ';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'select count(1) from ' || vtab || vwhere INTO ncount USING vsearctstr;
IF (ncount > 0)
THEN
vresult := CONCAT(vresult, vcol || ' ' || vtab || ', ');
END IF;
END LOOP;
IF (LENGTH(vresult) > 1)
THEN
dbms_output.put_line(vresult);
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('not found');
END IF;
END;
When I run it, I get the following error:
It is essentially saying it doesn't recognize the table vtab in the line EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'select count(1) from ' || vtab || vwhere INTO ncount USING vsearctstr.
So in order to see which table it's complaining about, I added the following exception block to the end of the script:
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line('exception: ' || vtab);
END;
It tells me the table name is IND$.
I'm not sure what this table (or view) is and it doesn't look relevant anyway.
So my question is two fold: 1) If it is fetching IND$ in the FOR loop from k.table_name (which in turn is from all_tab_columns), why does it say it doesn't exist in the select query? 2) I'm not sure what IND$ is but I'm pretty sure I don't need to search it; So is there a way to limit my search to only relevant tables (not views)? By 'relevant', I mean tables that we created to store data for our application (as opposed to system tables or user tables, etc.).
Thanks very much.
all_tab_columns lists columns in all tables that your current schema has access to. In general, if you're going to use ALL_... views to build dynamic SQL, you should incorporate the OWNER column as well since it may return rows for tables in other schemas.
If you really only want to consider tables in your current schema, use user_tab_columns instead.
If you want to get more, or less, particular than that about which tables are 'relevant', then you'll probably need to hardcode specific rules into your query.
FYI: IND$ is part of the Oracle data dictionary and is in the SYS schema. (Although, it's always possible someone has created a table with that name in some other schema.) It's unusual that your application schema would have direct access to this.
If you know how to skip tables you don't want, do it - you might filter by OWNER, maybe table name, etc.
If you don't want to bother, include inner begin-exception-end block into the loop so that it skips errors (either silently, or display errors, or store them into some table). Here's one option:
DECLARE
ncount NUMBER;
vwhere VARCHAR2(1000) := '';
vsearchstr VARCHAR2(1000) := 'search string here';
vresult VARCHAR2(10000) := 'result: ';
vtab VARCHAR2(1000) := '';
vcol VARCHAR2(1000) := '';
BEGIN
FOR k IN (SELECT a.table_name, a.column_name FROM all_tab_columns a WHERE a.data_type LIKE '%VARCHAR%')
LOOP
BEGIN
vtab := k.table_name;
vcol := k.column_name;
vwhere := ' where ' || vcolumnname || ' = :vsearchstr ';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'select count(1) from ' || vtab || vwhere INTO ncount USING vsearctstr;
IF (ncount > 0)
THEN
vresult := CONCAT(vresult, vcol || ' ' || vtab || ', ');
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(vtab ||': '|| sqlerrm);
END;
END LOOP;
IF (LENGTH(vresult) > 1)
THEN
dbms_output.put_line(vresult);
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('not found');
END IF;
END;
You need to:
Also get the owner from all_tab_columns
Use quoted identifiers around the owner, table_name and column_name so that the query does not fail for identifiers in different cases or with special characters.
Handle errors (i.e. when you do not have the permissions to SELECT from a table).
To make it faster, you can:
Filter the columns to only those that are long enough to contain the search string.
You can do that using:
DECLARE
ncount NUMBER;
vsearchstr VARCHAR2(1000) := 'search string here';
vresult VARCHAR2(10000);
BEGIN
FOR k IN (SELECT owner,
table_name,
column_name
FROM all_tab_columns
WHERE data_type LIKE '%VARCHAR%'
AND data_length >= LENGTH(vsearchstr))
LOOP
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'select count(1)
from "' || k.owner || '"."' || k.table_name || '"
where "' || k.column_name || '" = :1'
INTO ncount
USING vsearchstr;
IF (ncount > 0)
THEN
vresult := vresult || ','
|| k.owner || '.' || k.table_name || '.' || k.column_name;
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
NULL;
END;
END LOOP;
IF (LENGTH(vresult) > 1)
THEN
dbms_output.put_line(vresult);
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('not found');
END IF;
END;
/
db<>fiddle here
Here is the final query (which works):
DECLARE
ncount NUMBER;
vwhere VARCHAR2(1000) := '';
vsearchstr VARCHAR2(1000) := '%your string here%';
vresult VARCHAR2(10000) := '';
vtab VARCHAR2(1000) := '';
vcol VARCHAR2(1000) := '';
BEGIN
FOR k IN (SELECT table_name, column_name
FROM all_tab_columns
WHERE data_type LIKE '%VARCHAR%'
AND data_length >= LENGTH(vsearchstr)
AND table_name NOT IN (SELECT view_name FROM all_views))
LOOP
BEGIN
vtab := k.table_name;
vcol := k.column_name;
vwhere := ' where ' || vcol || ' like :vsearchstr ';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'select count(1) from OWNER.' || vtab || vwhere INTO ncount USING vsearchstr;
IF (ncount > 0)
THEN
vresult := CONCAT(vresult, 'table: ' || vtab || ', column: ' || vcol || chr(13) || chr(10));
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
END;
END LOOP;
IF (LENGTH(vresult) > 0)
THEN
dbms_output.put_line(vresult);
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('string not found');
END IF;
END;
I took Littlefoot's advice and added an exception block to catch the exception when the table is not found and just continue with the loop. I also took MT0's advice and checked the length of the column in the select query. I also included the owner in the select query.
This works. Thanks to everyone who gave their advice.

“ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis” using insrt function with PLSQL

I wrote this code using a portion of query in a string. Inside the string I'm using INSTR FUNCTION to split a multi value selection. Anyway, when I run this code I'm keeping to get the error message:"“ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis”
sql_1 varchar2(4000);
sql_2 varchar2(4000);
year varchar2(100);
sql_1:='select count(*) ';
year:='2019:2020';
sql_view_column:='v_cod_device';
type_selection:='03L20';
if selection= 'M' then
sql_2:=sql_2||'MONTH ';
sql_2:=sql_2||'where '||sql_view_column||' = '''||type_selection||''' and instr( '':'' '''||year||''' '':'' , '':'' v_year '':'' ) >0 ';
end if;
command_sql:=sql_1||sql_2;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE command_sql
INTO counter;
When my code runs the execute immediate comand_sql statement, I will get the exception.
You need to replace
sql_1 := 'select count(*) ';
with
sql_1 := 'select count(*) FROM '; -- added FROM here
and
sql_2:=sql_2||'where '||sql_view_column||' = '''||type_selection||''' and instr( '':'' '''||year||''' '':'' , '':'' v_year '':'' ) >0 ';
with
sql_2:=sql_2|| 'where '|| sql_view_column ||' = '''|| type_selection ||''' and instr( '':'' || '''|| year ||''' || '':'' , '':'' || v_year || '':'' ) >0 ' ;
Note: in the above string, You have not used proper single quotes which are corrected in replace string. Also, Your code will not work if the condition if selection= 'M' then is false. You need to handle it correctly.
If you put your code into an anonymous block, and change the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE into a DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to test it out, this is what you get:
select count(*) MONTH
where v_cod_device = '03L20'
and instr( ':' '2019:2020' ':' , ':' v_year ':' ) >0
You can see there is no FROM and the instr() syntax is wrong. Here is the anonymous block that I used to troubleshoot this:
DECLARE
sql_1 VARCHAR2 (4000);
sql_2 VARCHAR2 (4000);
year VARCHAR2 (100);
sql_view_column VARCHAR2 (100);
type_selection VARCHAR2 (100);
selection VARCHAR2 (100) := 'M';
command_sql VARCHAR2 (8000);
counter NUMBER;
BEGIN
sql_1 := 'select count(*) ';
year := '2019:2020';
sql_view_column := 'v_cod_device';
type_selection := '03L20';
IF selection = 'M' THEN
sql_2 := sql_2 || 'MONTH ';
sql_2 := sql_2 || 'where ' || sql_view_column || ' = ''' || type_selection || ''' and instr( '':'' ''' || year || ''' '':'' , '':'' v_year '':'' ) >0 ';
END IF;
command_sql := sql_1 || sql_2;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (command_sql);
--EXECUTE IMMEDIATE command_sql INTO counter;
END;
Not having any idea what you want to accomplish, I might make a random guess that you are trying to do something like this?
IF selection = 'M' THEN
sql_2 := sql_2 || 'from MONTH ';
sql_2 := sql_2 || 'where ' || sql_view_column || ' = ''' || type_selection || ''' ';
IF instr(year, ':') > 0 THEN
sql_2 := sql_2
|| ' and year between ' || substr(year, 0, instr(year, ':')-1) || ' and ' || substr(year, instr(year, ':')+1);
ELSE
sql_2 := sql_2
|| ' and year = ' || year;
END IF;
END IF;
...which would result in:
select count(*)
from MONTH
where v_cod_device = '03L20' and year between 2019 and 2020

Select Query With Variable

I'm working withing Oracle 6i Form
the form is search form , it has many text items for criteria search
and there is command button
when pressed , the form will show all records
is user selected some items in creteria text items , the result will be filtered
based on those creteria
now this is done , and then I want to export the result to a text file using the following code
OUTFILE TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
filename varchar2(100);
sql_string varchar2(8000);
a number(10);
begin
a := 0;
if :norm.Dob_fr is not null and :norm.Dob_to is not null then
sql_string := sql_string || ' (DATE_FROM >= to_date(''' || to_char(:norm.Dob_fr,'YYYY-MM-DD') || ''',''YYYY-MM-DD'') and date_to <= to_date(''' || to_char(:norm.Dob_to,'YYYY-MM-DD') || ''',''YYYY-MM-DD'')';
a := 1;
end if;
if :norm.per_fr is not null and :norm.per_to is not null then
if a = 1 then
sql_where := ' and ';
else
sql_where := ' ( ';
a := 1;
end if;
sql_string := sql_string || sql_where || ' pay_date >= to_date(''' || to_char(:norm.per_fr,'YYYY-MM-DD') || ''',''YYYY-MM-DD'') and pay_date <= to_date(''' || to_char(:norm.per_to,'YYYY-MM-DD') || ''',''YYYY-MM-DD'')';
end if;
sql_string := sql_string || ' ) ';
FOR SE IN ('select * from V_BILL_TRAN where ' || nvl(sql_string,'1=1') loop
the export code is working well , but my issue is in the last statement shown above , the where statement "sql_string: it may or not contain a data
then the code is not accepted by oracle form 6i
there is something wrong
This is wrong:
sql_string := sql_string || ' ) ';
The closing bracket causes problems because - even if there's nothing in sql_string, after concatenating the bracket, sql_string will become ) and it'll cause problems in the next statement (FOR loop) as nvl(sql_string, 1=1) won't take effect - the result will be
select * from V_BILL_TRAN where )
instead of
select * from V_BILL_TRAN where 1=1
Rewrite it to
sql_string := sql_string || case when sql_string is not null then ')' end;
this is the initial code
OUTFILE TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
filename varchar2(100);
sql_string varchar2(8000);
a number(10);
begin
a := 0;
if :norm.Dob_fr is not null and :norm.Dob_to is not null then
sql_string := sql_string || ' (DATE_FROM >= to_date(''' || to_char(:norm.Dob_fr,'YYYY-MM-DD') || ''',''YYYY-MM-DD'') and date_to <= to_date(''' || to_char(:norm.Dob_to,'YYYY-MM-DD') || ''',''YYYY-MM-DD'')';
a := 1;
end if;
if :norm.per_fr is not null and :norm.per_to is not null then
if a = 1 then
sql_where := ' and ';
else
sql_where := ' ( ';
a := 1;
end if;
sql_string := sql_string || sql_where || ' pay_date >= to_date(''' || to_char(:norm.per_fr,'YYYY-MM-DD') || ''',''YYYY-MM-DD'') and pay_date <= to_date(''' || to_char(:norm.per_to,'YYYY-MM-DD') || ''',''YYYY-MM-DD'')';
end if;
sql_string := sql_string || ' ) ';
FOR SE IN ('select * from V_BILL_TRAN where ' || nvl(sql_string,'1=1') loop

Oracle PLSQL invalid cursor error I don't understand

I'm still a relatively newbe when it comes to PL/SQL.
Using Oracle 12c on Linux RHEL 6.8, the following shell script will attempt to activate all RI constraints in a collection of tables, and if they fail with parent key failures, it will dump the first 100 rows (or less) of the offending data. Or at least that is the goal. Since the script deals mostly with system tables on 12c (with only a small user table list that is unique to my installation), I'm including the whole thing exactly from my environment.
The main work occurs in the exception handling where the system tables are queried for the constraint, and user queries are formed from those data.
As a extra goal, the output is rather messy and I want to clean it up, but first it has to work :)
The output / error I get for my tables is the following:
ERROR Handling here for table NRNG_MTC_VST Constraint Name:

The output SQL from my print_line is correct, and would work if pasted directly into a SQLDeveloper session. There is just something silly about how the cursor is defined I don't understand.
The full text of the script. BYW, if you see other bonehead changes that should be made unrelated to the error, please suggest them as well.

Just to narrow this down to a simple test case, I think this is the error you are seeing:
declare
my_cursor sys_refcursor;
begin
open my_cursor for 'select ''Hello, world'' as message from dual';
dbms_sql.return_result(my_cursor);
close my_cursor; -- << Remove this line
end;
/
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01001: invalid cursor
ORA-06512: at line 6
This is because you attempted to close the cursor when you have already passed it to dbms_sql for processing. Remove the line with close my_cursor.
declare
my_cursor sys_refcursor;
begin
open my_cursor for 'select ''Hello, world'' as message from dual';
dbms_sql.return_result(my_cursor);
end;

ResultSet #1

------------
Hello, world
1 row selected.
I had same kind of issue when i tried to print Ref_cursor directly. Then i created a Record type variable and then fetched field values in that variable and then i used DBMS_OUTPUT for that record type variable.
Please see if below code and scenario can help you-
set serveroutput on;
declare
v_sql varchar2(1000);
v_cursor sys_refcursor;
type myrec is record(col1 varchar2(100),col2 varchar2(1000));
rec myrec;
begin
v_sql:='select name,status from t_employee where user_id in (''C001117'',''C001122'')';
open v_cursor for v_sql;
loop
fetch v_cursor
into rec;
exit when v_cursor%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line( rec.col1||':status '||rec.col2 );
end loop;
end;
/
The following is my semi-complete script. Given a table list, it will attempt to activate the RI Constraints, and if they fail it will print out the FK data records in the child table that prevent it from being applied.
The hardest part of this project was the fact that the FKs can be any number of columns and of any type, so the print the results of the select in this case was very tricky (IMO).
Thanks for the help people provided.

your FETCH FIRST 100 rows only would seem to be out of place.
This is part of the BULK COLLECT clause in a SELECT statement in PL/SQL; as far as I know, it is not part of a SQL statement you can pass into a cursor like this
This is resulting in the cursor statement being invalid

Converting a dynamic query to use bind variables in Oracle 11g

I have a dynamic search query that I would like to convert to make use of bind variables. The dynamic portion of the of query is in the where clause, and using a series of if statements to build a string that is concatenated to the rest of the query string. That query is then used in the for clause of a openstatement, which the result set is the return parameter. I'm not really sure how to accomplish this.
Here is the stored procedure:
PROCEDURE run_search(i_unit_id IN lu_unit.fsu_id%TYPE,
i_equipment IN tbl_component.component%TYPE,
i_equipment_status IN tbl_component.equipment_status%TYPE,
i_equipment_type IN tbl_component.equipment_type%TYPE,
i_equipment_subtype IN tbl_component.equipment_sub_type%TYPE,
i_system_id IN tbl_component.system_id%TYPE,
i_association_code IN tbl_component_assc_code.assc_code%TYPE,
i_manufacturer IN lu_component_manu_model.equipment_manufacturer%TYPE,
i_manumodel IN lu_component_manu_model.equipment_model%TYPE,
o_results OUT sys_refcursor) AS
v_query VARCHAR2(32767) := '';
v_where VARCHAR2(32767) := ' 1= 1';
BEGIN
IF i_unit_id IS NOT NULL THEN
v_where := v_where || ' AND unit_id=''' || i_unit_id ||''' ';
END IF;
IF i_equipment IS NOT NULL THEN
v_where := v_where || ' AND lower(component) LIKE ''%' || lower(i_equipment) ||'%'' ';
END IF;
IF i_equipment_status IS NOT NULL THEN
v_where := v_where || ' AND equipment_status=''' || i_equipment_status ||''' ';
END IF;
IF i_equipment_type IS NOT NULL THEN
v_where := v_where || ' AND equipment_type=''' || i_equipment_type ||''' ';
END IF;
IF i_equipment_subtype IS NOT NULL THEN
v_where := v_where || ' AND equipment_sub_type=''' || i_equipment_subtype ||''' ';
END IF;
IF i_system_id IS NOT NULL THEN
v_where := v_where || ' AND system_id=''' || i_system_id || ''' ';
END IF;
IF i_association_code IS NOT NULL THEN
v_where := v_where || ' AND EXISTS ( select null from tbl_component_assc_code where assc_code = ''' || i_association_code || ''' and component_id = vcs.component_id )';
END IF;
IF i_manufacturer IS NOT NULL THEN
v_where := v_where || ' AND equipment_manufacturer=''' || i_manufacturer || ''' ';
END IF;
IF i_manuModel IS NOT NULL THEN
v_where := v_where || ' AND equipment_model=''' || i_manuModel || ''' ';
END IF;
v_query :=
' SELECT rownum, results.* '
||' FROM '
||' ( SELECT '
||' count(*) OVER () ' || ' as total_results, '
||''
||' site_id, site_display_name, '
||' unit_id, unit_display_name, '
||' system_id, system_display_name, '
||' component_id, component, component_description, equipment_description, '
||' equipment_status, equipment_model, equipment_serial_number, equipment_type, equipment_sub_type, '
||' template_ids '
||''
||' FROM vw_component_search '
||' WHERE ' || v_where
||' ORDER BY unit_display_name, component '
||' ) results '
;
OPEN o_results FOR v_query;
END run_search;
You can write the query without dynamically creating it so you include all the parameters and just ignore those which are NULL (please profile it to test whether there are any performance issues compared to a dynamic query):
PROCEDURE run_search(i_unit_id IN lu_unit.fsu_id%TYPE,
i_equipment IN tbl_component.component%TYPE,
i_equipment_status IN tbl_component.equipment_status%TYPE,
i_equipment_type IN tbl_component.equipment_type%TYPE,
i_equipment_subtype IN tbl_component.equipment_sub_type%TYPE,
i_system_id IN tbl_component.system_id%TYPE,
i_association_code IN tbl_component_assc_code.assc_code%TYPE,
i_manufacturer IN lu_component_manu_model.equipment_manufacturer%TYPE,
i_manumodel IN lu_component_manu_model.equipment_model%TYPE,
o_results OUT sys_refcursor)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN o_results FOR
SELECT rownum,
results.*
FROM ( SELECT count(*) OVER () as total_results,
site_id,
site_display_name,
unit_id,
unit_display_name,
system_id,
system_display_name,
component_id,
component,
component_description,
equipment_description,
equipment_status,
equipment_model,
equipment_serial_number,
equipment_type,
equipment_sub_type,
template_ids
FROM vw_component_search
WHERE ( i_unit_id IS NULL
OR unit_id= i_unit_id )
AND ( i_equipment IS NULL
OR lower(component) LIKE '%' || lower(i_equipment) || '%' )
AND ( i_equipment_status IS NULL
OR equipment_status= i_equipment_status )
AND ( i_equipment_type IS NULL
OR equipment_type= i_equipment_type )
AND ( i_equipment_subtype IS NULL
OR equipment_sub_type= i_equipment_subtype )
AND ( i_system_id IS NULL
OR system_id= i_system_id )
AND ( i_association_code IS NULL
OR EXISTS ( select null
from tbl_component_assc_code
where assc_code = i_association_code
and component_id = vcs.component_id ) )
AND ( i_manufacturer IS NULL
OR equipment_manufacturer= i_manufacturer )
AND ( i_manuModel IS NULL
OR equipment_model= i_manuModel )
ORDER BY unit_display_name, component
) results;
END run_search;
(I've not compiled the above code - so there may be some errors).
The best way is to avoid such headache at all. 'SP returning resultset' is a usual practise in a poor legacy things such as MSSQL2000, but in unnecessary and doubtful in Oracle.
If you wish to do this, I'd advice you to do something like this:
procedure MakeGarbage(value_mask varchar2) return sys_refcursor is
cur integer;
stmt varchar2(32000 byte);
type TParamTable is table of varchar2(1000) index by varchar2(20);
params TParamTable;
i varchar2(20);
begin
stmt := 'select * from table where 1 = 1 ';
if value_mask is not null then
stmt := stmt || ' and value like :value_mask ';
params('value_mask') := value_mask;
end if;
...
cur := dbms_sql.create_cursor;
dbms_sql.open_cursor(cur, stmt, dbms_sql.native);
i := params.first;
while i is not null loop
dbms_sql.bind_variable(i, params(i));
i := params.next(i);
end loop;
return dbms_sql.to_ref_cursor(cur);
end;
every reference to a PL/SQL variable is in fact a bind variable.
