I have this following select statement
Select name
from names_list
where name like ('A%')
The output returns a list of names beginning with 'A'...What I want is for the output to repeat that list of names multiple times e.g. if the only two names returned are 'Andrews' and 'Apple', I want to have the output show
Andrews
Andrews
Andrews
Apple
Apple
Apple
I can work with 'straight' query's etc., but now I want to make a query with a loop. I have made a simple one to demonstrate what I want but the real one is working is working by it self but I want to get it work with a loop.
This is the simpel version:
DECLARE
P_UID NUMBER;
Max_UID NUMBER := 42220;
BEGIN
P_UID := 42210;
LOOP
select *
from contract lc
where lc.UIDCONTRACT = P_UID;
P_UID := P_UID + 1;
EXIT WHEN P_UID > Max_UID;
END LOOP;
END;
The error I get is:
Line 10, column 9:
PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT Statement.
So I know you can declare a variable and then CONTRACTID INTO v_contractID.
But if I have to put every field in a variable what is then the advantage of a loop. So I expect that I'm on the wrong road and not understand how this works.
I am executing the SQL statement in a unix korn shell script. and the output of this SQL is stored in a file.
`sqlplus -S $OraUserID@$OraInstance/$OraUserPW <<endofsql >result
set heading off;
SELECT * from emp;
exit;
endofsql`
cat result
this code working fine and the output i see in file is as below.

How can to get only the SQL output in the file but not all the other oracle connecting messages.
I have a PLSQL script.
sqlplus
$DB_ACCT << EOSQL
set heading off
set termout off
set pagesize 0
[code]....
My output in FILE.txt looks like this
SQL>
SQL> Select col_with_a||col_with_b||col_with_c from
2 alphabet_table;
abc
[code]....
I tried several options by putting set echo off, etc.What do I include in the sql script to get the output as :
abc
abc
abc
without the SQL prompt and the statement, and the spool off command?

I would like to generate a table & Index ddl using a select statement i did try the following:
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','DEPT','USER') from dual;
However does not provide all the columns in the table only the first one, is there a better way?
1. In previous version of Toad (9.7.2) during executing a statement I was able to click on 'Explain plan current statement'. In this version of Toad (10.6.0. 42) is not a possible to do it.In the Toad options I've filled the sign: "use a separate connection when Toad itself is generating transactions"
2. During executing a statement I still see 'clock' cursor.Is it a possible to disable to see it?
I would like to store my sql query output into text file.Like for example:
select name from emp where emp_id=101;
Here output should be in text file as
swapna.
I dont want to use spool statement here,since If I use it,spool statement will also be printed in text file which is not my requirement.I just want to take only output.

"USER_PASS" VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"USER_DATE" DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
CONSTRAINT "USERS_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("USER_ID") ENABLE

I executed the following PL/SQL block in SqlDeveloper :
VARIABLE max_dept_no NUMBER
DECLARE
v_dept_name VARCHAR2(30) := '&p_dept_name';
v_max NUMBER(4,0);
BEGIN
SELECT MAX(department_id) INTO v_max FROM departments;
:max_dept_no := v_max + 20;
INSERT INTO departments VALUES (:max_dept_no,v_dept_name, NULL,NULL) ;
END;
/
And it gave the error : Quote:Error report:
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("HR"."DEPARTMENTS"."DEPARTMENT_ID")
ORA-06512: at line 7
01400. 00000 - "cannot insert NULL into (%s)"
The same code when executed in iSqlPlus gave no error.

i have a little curiosity in result of a select statement.
One database has following characterset settings:
NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P15
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
and the following select statement results in multiple lines:
SQL> select INSTANCE_NAME,STATUS from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
------------------------------------------------
STATUS
------------------------------------
BUP
OPEN
Another database has following characterset settings:
NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
and the same select shows only a 2 line result:
SQL> select INSTANCE_NAME,STATUS from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME STATUS
---------------- ------------------------------------

Both databases are version 10.2.0.4 and both are running on HPUX 11.31.Why do we get this differents in showing the result?
Our problem is that the package-start scripts from HP, to start a database, check the result of the select statement above and if we have the multiline result the check gives an error and stops the package again.
All I want to do is run a procedure (DO_H_RUN) that returns a number into "v1" and then use that variable to return the result sets in three selects. This is all in TOAD. If I do not have a where clause, the code executes fine (allowing me to see the data in multiple Grid tabs)! But, I want to filter the rows.
I've tried doing a number of different things (finding all sorts of stuff on the Web) like declaring cursor variables and the like but after spinning on this for a couple of hours, I'm stuck.
Here's my attempt (the names have been changed to protect the innocent!):
declare
v1 Numeric;
BEGIN
DO_H_RUN('Me', v1);
--DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v1); --This line works okay!
select * from h_run where h_run_id=v1; --NO GO
[code]....
I execute the below code in TOAD.
DECLARE
CURSOR c1
IS
SELECT *
FROM tab
WHERE ROWNUM < 5;

I am not an Oracle programmer but I have been given a task to produce a number of Text files from an Oracle table based on a selection from the table itself.The table consists of many records with a currency code and I need to extract the data into named files based on the currency code.My first idea was to use Cursors and try a select statement matching on the returned value of the cursor but no Joy I can't make it work - perhaps I need to take a new approach.
Current / latest attempt below
DECLARE
CURSOR tmp_splitter_cur IS
SELECT DISTINCT end_consumer_country
FROM tmp_splitter
WHERE 1 = 1;
currency_rec tmp_splitter_cur%ROWTYPE;

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using JDBC to run a few queries from my Java program (multi-threaded one).I am facing an issue where a select statement is blocking a delete statement. From the java code point of view, there are 2 different threads accessing the same tables (whith different DB connection objects).
When the block occurs (which i was able to find out from the java thread dump that there is a lock on oracle), the below is the output:
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
2 || ' User '||s1.username || '@' || s1.machine
3 || ' ( SID= ' || s1.sid || ' ) with the statement: ' || sqlt2.sql_text
||' is blocking the SQL statement on '|| s2.username || '@'
4 5 || s2.machine || ' ( SID=' || s2.sid || ' ) blocked SQL -> '
6 ||sqlt1.sql_text AS blocking_status FROM v$lock l1, v$session s1, v$lock l2 ,
7 v$session s2,v$sql sqlt1, v$sql sqlt2
8 WHERE s1.sid =l1.sid
9 AND s2.sid =l2.sid AND sqlt1.sql_id= s2.sql_id
AND sqlt2.sql_id= s1.prev_sql_id AND l1.BLOCK =1
10 AND l2.request > 0 AND l1.id1 = l2.id1 AND l2.id2 = l2.id2;
[code]...
From the above it can be seen that a select statement is blocking a delete. Unless the select is select for Update, it should not block other statements is not it ?
which are recommended Tool for load testing (for performance) on Oracle-J2EE, 3 Tier applications?
Is 'Oracle Application Test Suite' the best for such test where we can simulate numbers of users and their various actions?
Does it come with Oracle Database license or we have to buy it separately?
I'm looking for 3 simple things.
1) A reverse engineering tool that I can point to an Oracle schema and get a "baseline" script to re-create that schema from scratch, with decently formatted DDL files (1 per object) neatly organized in a directory tree (by object type) and called in the correct order. Icing on the cake would be an option to pass the tool a list of tables containing static data and get DMLs to populate (insert) those tables as part of the script.
2) a diff tool that I can point to a pair of Oracle instances (source and target) containing a given schema and get a "delta" script to alter the target schema so that it becomes identical to the source schema. If data loss occurs on the target instance (i.e. drop a column) I would like to find a warning comment inserted in the script (e.g. "-- Attention: data migration DML needed here?"). Icing on the cake would be an option to pass the tool a list of tables containing static data and get DMLs to update (delete, update and insert) the data in the target tables to become identical to the contents in the source tables *without* deleting and re-inserting all rows (or dropping, recreating and repopulating the table).
3) I would like the above two tools (that, as you will have recognized, are basic to putting your database design under version control) to be open-source, with a command-line interface and a vibrant community backing them.

My developers want to connecting using the SID or the SERVICE_NAME and by using the "New Method" syntax, not the "Old Method" syntax.
