when I've tried to use substitute variables, they like to come up in 2's for the prompt. When I have the Set Verify option on, its even more disgusting.
In a select query, I want to substitute the column name from a variable (In turn from an array of column names). Details are given below. I am getting an error as mentioned below.
Insert Into Test1 values(10,'Thomas','Manager','LA'); Insert Into Test1 values(11,'George','Chairman','LA');
declare MTest1Test1%RowType; str1VarChar2(1000):='Name'; MValue1Varchar2(100); begin Select * Into MTest1 from Test1 where ID=10; str1:='Select MTest1.'||str1||' from dual'; execute immediate str1 into mvalue1; dbms_output.put_line('mvalue1 '||mvalue1); end; /
I am getting the error:
ORA-00904: "MTEST1"."NAME": invalid identifier ORA-06512: at line 9
In a select query, I want to substitute the column name from a variable (In turn from an array of column names). Details are given below. I am getting an error as mentioned below. sort it out?
Create table Test1(ID Number(10), Name varchar2(100), Description varchar2(1000), Site varchar2(100));

I am getting the error:
ORA-00904: "MTEST1"."NAME": invalid identifier
ORA-06512: at line 9
My objective is to get the name 'Thomas' in the variable - MValue1. I don't want to use the statement MValue1:=MTest1.Name because, moving forward, I want to have the column name to be dynamic, taken from an array of column names.
I need to achieve it by giving only one select query to get entire record and fetch the column values one by one, by substituting the column name from an array of column names, instead of writing that many lines of code / querying that may times to the database.
I have a little problem when debugging in pl/sql developer. All date variables are always displayed DD-MON-RR. I already changed the values for Date and Time to YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS in
Tools => Preferences => User Interface / NLS Options.
But when I start debugging and watch a variable I still get eg. 17-OCT-12 without the time. I already restarted pl/sql developer. No change.
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
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.
The problem is that this connection errors when I try to connect using my SQuirreL client. My developers want to connecting using the SID or the SERVICE_NAME and by using the "New Method" syntax, not the "Old Method" syntax. According to the documentation the "New Method" syntax works with the SERVICE_NAME or the SID. The "Old Method" only works with the SID.
# Host name is vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com # SID is sting2 # SERVICE_NAME is sting2.na.sas.com
PROBLEM using SID errors ==> jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2 THIS WORKS using SERVICE_NAME ==> jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521/sting2.na.sas.com
I am using SQuirreL Client version 3.4.0
# Here is the tnsnames.ora entry on the server. STING2 = (DESCRIPTION =

# In this documentation it says, "On new syntax SERVICE may be a oracle service name or a SID."You can find this on the orafax wiki under JDBC#Thin_driver.
# I was able to connect with the "old method" using the SID only, SERVICE_NAME errors jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521:sting2.na.sas.com (SQuirreL client error, "Unexpected Error occurred attempting to open an SQL connection.") jdbc:oracle:thin:@vmwwin7634.na.SAS.com:1521:sting2 (this works)

I have new virtual UNIX machine and I installed oracle client on /usr/lib/oracle. Also I have a oracle database and I am able to connect to this database from my desktop sql developer.
So now I am trying to connect from new UNIX machine. Where I created tnsnames.ora file under /usr/lib/oracle/network/admin and before connecting did export the following
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist. Not sure what I missed here. using same tns file I am able to connect from sql developer on windows.
I need to install Oracle client to get latest sql plus working on client pc as the problem is, i am not able to find out where i can download this , i just need the sql plus as i am not able use many commands because when i installed oracle forms 6i client tool , sql plus 8.0 got installed.
I want to use BR*Tools to administer an Oracle database. I have installed BrGUI local, set the JAVA Home variable and edited the brgui.properties file accordingly.I am able to login, but the menues are mising. The login screen is incomplete.
I usually work in oracle using the different editors like toad, plsql developer etc. I felt command line is good utility because of various supporting points. I am not sure what kind of command line tools is available/used. I am using pretty straight command line (run->cmd, then enter username and password).
The best command line tools available. What is generally used command line tools.

I am trying to create a script that prompts the user to enter a course id like ASP2 and will produce a list showing the name for the course and the name, phone and completion date for all employees that completed that course.
I have my database structured to where i have my tables, constraints, and Rows populated in each table which is 4 tables in particular. for one I want to be able to List all four tables with its content and constraints all at once. What i want to with the PL/SQL is to be able to program a prompt to where the user can just enter the individual order information and the data goes to what ever appropriate column or Table it needs to go to. Now should I be mostly be using procedures, functions or triggers to make this possible.
I have an Oracle server on CentOS 5.4, I can visit isqlplus on server, but I can't visit isqlplus on a windows client. ping works between server and client. I remember client doesn't need to install software via isqlplus, but I am not pretty sure.
I studied a document about lexical parameter in that it says "Lexical parameters are used to substitute multiple values at run time and are identified by a preceding '&'. Lexical s can consist of as little a one line where clause to an entire select statement"
Select * from emp, deptno &where.
and i know about substitution variables using & is this are same (lexical and substitution) or different.
I'm not able to run SQL *Plus on my machine. It is giving me below error.
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
Setting of PATH environment variable is as below. If I remove below highlighted part I'm able to run SQL * Plus. I cannot remove this because it is required to run my application.
I was downloaded new version of TOAD for Oracle version 10.6 and I try to connect to my current database (oracle xe) and TOAD raise an error ORA-12154 Could not connect to XE..., but with old version of TOAD 9.6 all works fine. What can be an solutions?
