SQL & PL/SQL :: Setting Select Count Value Into Output Variable
Apr 12, 2011
I'm trying to return the number of records in my link table that contains the excursion_id I pass in by counting them. It doesn't seem to like the select count(*) into my output variable.
create or replace
PROCEDURE BOOK_PASSENGER(
EXCURSION_ID IN excursion_booking.excursion_id%TYPE,
PASSENGER_ID IN excursion_booking.passenger_id%TYPE,
NUMBER_BOOKED OUT NUMBER)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO EXCURSION_BOOKING VALUES(EXCURSION_ID, PASSENGER_ID, NULL);
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO NUMBER_BOOKED FROM EXCURSION_BOOKING WHERE EXCURSION_ID = EXCURSION_ID;
END BOOK_PASSENGER;
Recently i faced with a situation of redirecting a report output to a particular path in my server, and then opening the output by using web.show_document.
I was successful in redirecting it too a path , however i am not able to open the file using URL. We should setup virtual path in orion-web.xml and proceed further.
I pointed the output to an existing virtual path as below in my orion_web.xml file.
D:OraHome_2 oolswebhtml
and tried opening the output through the url
<<<server_name>/forms/html/filename.extn>>>
however i was not able to add new virtual path here .
I am reading in a selection of parameters. I have created a new variable which I want to set according to the value of one of the input parameters.
I am doing this straight after declaring the variable, but before the cursors and BEGIN statement It is throwing an error when I do this - but I have to do it before the cursors.the variable I am setting is: v_fptransType you can see the IF statement towards the end of the code.
the error I am getting is:Error(28,3): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "IF" when expecting one of the following: begin function package pragma procedure subtype type use <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> form current cursor The symbol "begin" was substituted for "IF" to continue.

'HH2_SGH21_SS' is a schema I dont have access to. I have a whole bunch of schemas like this and would like to get versions of all those schemas putting it in a loop in pl/sql.
1: whats the best way get this output to a variable.
2: whats the best way to get the output to a file.
insert into t_target (...) select (fiels,fields,fiels) from sourcetable; commit;
i want to capture number of rows committed and assign it to a variable or insert it into a table, i can not rely on count of source table or t_target because both those tables are changing through out of the day/ data are being inserted and removed from those tables. is this possible
Having a select query where the output looks as below, as you can see when there is no record for a particular date(01-JUn-12,03-JUN-12) the count will be zero.
SELECT TRUNC(updated_date) DATE1 , COUNT(1) COUNT FROM Temp_a WHERE ZU_flag='N' AND circle_id 'NA' AND TRUNC(updated_date) >=TRUNC(SYSDATE-18) AND TRUNC(updated_date) <=TRUNC(SYSDATE) GROUP BY TRUNC(updated_date) ORDER BY TRUNC(updated_date) DESC;
I have tried with Case conditions and try to fetch that data through Sequence generating Date(not useful). I can do this with Cusror, but i need this to be done through single select query
I'm having trouble with some SQL code regarding count and an outer join.
Here is my code.
SELECT o.salespersonid, Count(*) from salesperson s, Ord o Where s.salespersonid(+) = o.salespersonid Group By o.salespersonid;
Where salesperson is a salesperson table and ord is a table containing orders.
The orders table contains a FK to salespersonid in the salesperson table.
I want it to return all salespersons along with the amount of orders they are on. It works but does not show the ones that do not appear on any orders hence the outer join.
I'm trying to write a simple query so I can do some testing on my application. I am trying to do something like this:
SELECT Location, LEVEL,
FROM S_ORG_EXT
where Location = 'North America' and LEVEL ='Software' OR location = 'North America' and Active = 'N'
in the where statement, I have put in the 'Active' that isn't a column. I want to be able to be able to change that in the select part. But I am not able to do so.
this is what I have tried: SELECT Location, LEVEL, Active = 'N' --I want to change this in the to N or Y so I can get different results.
FROM S_ORG_EXT
where Location = 'North America' and LEVEL ='Software' OR location = 'North America' and Active = 'N'
I'm trying to SUM the results of "*SELECT originator, COUNT(*) as Inductions*" but am having trouble finding a solution? Can this be done and cause it to create the SUM in a row below the created Inductions column?
I want to merge the following two sql statements into single output.
select id,count(*) from derailed where changed_on between to_date('26-july-13 18:30:00','DD-Mon-YY hh24:MI:SS') and to_date('01-August-13 18:29:00','DD-Mon-YY HH24:MI:SS') group by id;
We are trying insert records from a select query in to temporary table, some of the records is missing in the temporary table. The select statement is having multiple joins and union all which it little complex query. In simple terms the script contains 2 part 1st Part Insert in to temporary table 2nd part Select query with multiple joins, inline sub queries, unions and group by classes and conditions Eg. If we execute select statement alone it returns some count for example => 60000 After inserting into the temp table, in temp table the count is around 42000 why is the difference?
It is simple bulk inserts... insert in to temp table select * from xxx. also, there is no commit in between. The problem is all the records populated by the select statement are not inserted in to temp table. some records are not inserted.
Also, we had some other observation. It only happens in its 2nd execution and not its first run. Hope there might be some cache problem Even, we also did not believe that. We are wondering. In TOAD, we tested however at times it happens. In application jar file, after "insert in to temp select * from xxx" we take the i. record count of temp table and ii. record count of "select * from xxx" separately but both doesn't match. Match only at 1st time.
I want to create a SELECT, that shall give back only a special amount of rows, depending on the sum of one of the selected fields.
At first a code sample of the complete selection:
SELECT DISTINCT mnr, ktxt, (SELECT Sum(meng_4)FROM reldb d1 WHERE d1.mnr=d.mnr)qty FROM reldb d WHERE mnr IN (SELECT mnr FROM relac WHERE Lower(rlnr) NOT LIKE 'platte geprägt%') AND saext='M' ORDER BY qty DESC,ktxt;
This selection produces some lines of output (in my case i.e. like 300). What I want to see is only that much lines that the condition 'sum of all items listed below meng_4<=sum of all items meng_4 of the whole selection * 0.9' is fulfilled.
So, if the whole selection produces a total of 10000 as sum for all items meng_4, I want to see only that amount of rows that sums a total of at least 9000 for all items meng_4. I hope, this specification is exactly enough to understand my intent.
I want to count the batch records using BATCH_ID with CASE statement ,for that i am using below query but its not working ,
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <TABLENAME> WHERE VNBATCH_ID=CASE WHEN #SDC <10 AND #PERIOD >=10 THEN 0||#SDC||#PERIOD||#BATCH_ID WHEN #SDC <10 AND #PERIOD <10 THEN 0||#SDC||0||#PERIOD||#BATCH_ID WHEN #SDC >=10 AND #PERIOD <10 THEN #SDC||0||#PERIOD||#BATCH_ID ELSE #SDC||#PERIOD||#BATCH_ID END
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));
[Code]...
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'm new to XML to Oracle data integration. I do have clob column that has the XML data and trying to bring it into the Oracle relational tables, as a part of it we are developing PL/SQL procedure that calls this CLOB column, I want to know if we can variablize the data types ( Just like tablename. column name%type) in the select of the XML data:
I do define the data types after every column name , the problem is incase there is change in datatype I do need to manually edit the procedure to change the datatype is there a way I can variablize them something like tablename.columname%type.
the moment my 11g database is connecting to a php web front end. this following procedure is the one I'm having trouble with.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "BSISSONS"."CREATE_EXCURSION" ( min_places IN excursion.min_places%TYPE, max_places IN excursion.max_places%TYPE, additional_charge IN excursion.additional_charge%TYPE,

I can select into an output variable to return the value of the primary key of the newly inserted row back into the webpage, but i need to be able to 'select into' a temp variable to insert this value into another table on the same procedure. I get complie errors when i try to 'DECLARE' a variable after the 'AS' keyword
SELECT rp.id r_paper_id, COUNT(*) created, COUNT( CASE WHEN a.approved_yn = 'Y'
[code]....
But it fails, saying that 'single-row subquery returns more than one row' when I introduce the 'unique_users' clause. The remaining fields of the output are correct.
I have a problem that i have hard coded the username.tablename in each select statement of all forms of my application. Now i want to use a dynamic variable in place of username in each select statement throughout the application. The example is:
select * from scott.emp and i want to write it as: select * from variable.emp
But at compilation of the form the compiler should know the above variable name.
I have tried to use following select statement but it does not work.
select user into :global.username from user_users
I think perhaps my problem would be solved with Dynamic SQL Statement but i have no experience by using this statement.
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
DECLARE JOBSFILE UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE; -- TAKE ALL JOB TITLES FROM JOBS CURSOR JOBSCUR IS SELECT * -- DDOCNAME,DDOCTITLE,DSECURITYGROUP,DDOCAUTHOR,DDOCTYPE,DINDATE,PRIMARYFILE,EXTRACTIONDATE,BATCH_ID FROM TARGET_UCM ; [code].......
this is my plsql here to print table values i am using many utl_file.put_line statements is there any way to print all table values in a single utl_file.put_line.
Currently I have a requirement where I need to create 2 more output rows using each result row.
In my requirement I am populating charges table with types of charges, on each line item of charges, I need to apply 2 types of taxes and populate it along with the charge line item. I will be storing charges in table charges and the 2 taxes to be applied in taxes table respectively. For each row of charges, i need to apply these 2 taxes present in taxes table resulting in 3 rows output.
difference between count(1) and count(*). As i know count(*) will give number of rows irrespective of null and count(1) will not count the null.My Oracle version is 10 g.
