PL/SQL :: Difference Between Explicit And Implicit Cursor?
Nov 5, 2013difference between between these two constructs. Finally when i read the asktom.oracle.com , I was totally confused. The reason is thatTom says...we can retrieve more than one row in implicit cursor. If that would be case, what's the difference between these two cursors?? when to use?? My understanding was implicit cursors" ---> single-row queryExplicit cursors ---> multi-row query Experts

Nov 16, 2011what are the main points that these examples are considered cursors? and why are they called explicit and implicit cursor.
explicit
for x in (select * from emp) loop
dbms_output.put_line('emp no: '||x.empno);
end loop;
implicit
select empno
into vEmpno
from empno
where empname = 'SCOTT';
for all we know that these are not clearly defined on the declaration area as cursor.

SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Fetch Two Times Same Explicit Cursor
Nov 25, 2012I need to open an explicit cursor for making a total: after I have to use the same information of that explicit cursor for dividing a column of the cursor by that total. It is not enough to open close, reopen and reclose because I just obtain one register at the same time and it is the same register two times consecutively.
I don't want to use auxiliary structures cause there are 18000 columns for 10200 rows.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Use Implicit Cursor In Program
Aug 18, 2010I've tried to use implicit cursor in my pl/sql program and i get an error as following:
DECLARE
*
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-06512: at line 17
Then,I tried to include an exception for it and the error is 'solved'.

By actually the program are suppose to return the records instead or returning the error. I've included the table that i'm trying to retrieve the records from as well.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Choose Explicit Cursor To Loop Through At Runtime?
Nov 1, 2011Oracle Version: 11.2.0.2.0. I have two explicit cursors and I would like to choose at run time which one to run. Here is a simplified code snippet of what I am doing today:
DECLARE
CURSOR Cursor_A IS
SELECT * FROM EMP_A;
CURSOR Cursor_B IS
SELECT * FROM EMP_B;
RUNA CHAR(1) := 'Y';
[code]....
I want to avoid maintaining the same long list of transformations. I also want to avoid, if possible, an explicit FETCH INTO, because there are hundreds of fields in both tables. I'm looking for something like this (and I know this doesnt work):
DECLARE
CURSOR Cursor_A IS
SELECT * FROM EMP_A;
CURSOR Cursor_B IS
SELECT * FROM EMP_B;
RUNA CHAR(1) := 'Y';
CursorToRun IS REF CURSOR;
[code]....
SQL & PL/SQL :: Implicit Cursor In Single Statement?

2) Only the SQL statements of the PLSQL program create implicit cursors.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Does Commit Close Implicit Cursor
Feb 3, 2011We all know that commit will do the following.
1. Save the Txn Permanently to the database.
2. Release the table locks and
3. Erase the save points.
TABLE NAME:
==========
create table TEST_PREC (NO NUMBER(4,2));
DECLARE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TEST_PREC VALUES (12.34);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('the no of records before commit '||SQL%ROWCOUNT);
commit; /* What's happening inside commit */
[code]....
why the SQL%ROWCOUNT is set to zero after commit.
Does the commit, close the implicit cursor?
PL/SQL :: Difference Between Ref Cursor And Sys_refcursor?
Dec 6, 2012i found this difference between ref cursor and sys_refcursor.
If you specify return_type, then the REF CURSOR type and cursor variables of that type are strong; if not, they are weak. SYS_REFCURSOR and cursor variables of that type are weak.
my situation is i have to write many stored procedure for reports and also for entery pages. few enter pages use typed datasets and few does not.
which one is better in terms of performance and maintainability in above three conditions?

Implicit Commit While Purging
Oct 24, 2011I have written a purge package that would delete records older than 10 years. Since the data is huge, the purging was taking 14 hours plus. To improve performance, I disabled constraints , deleted records and then reanabled them. This was quite quick but the only problem is rollback. Say for some reason if enabling constraints fails there is no way to rollback as enabling and disabling constraints does an implicit rollback.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAuditing And Implicit Commits
May 11, 2009I'm working on a Java-based web application and we have unit tests that we use to test all our all code that interacts with the database or code that interacts with our DB code. The Spring framework allows us to perform some DML within a transaction before each test and then rollback the changes. For the most part, this works, however when I run the full suite of unit tests, it will randomly commit data to the database causing the rest of the tests to fail.
will Oracle's auditing let me see where this odd-ball commit is occurring? Is there another way for me to see when data is being committed?
This does not appear to be happening on any of the systems we've deployed, however this is a bit unsettling and would like to know why this is occurring so that we can prevent it from happening in production.

Precompilers, OCI & OCCI :: Pro*C - Cursor Leak With Cursor Array
Sep 7, 2007I'm dealing with an ORA-1000 error in a Pro*C application where all the cursors are correctly closed (or so it seems to me).
Here is the code for a simple program which reproduces the problem:
Each cursor is opened in a PL/SQL package:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE emp_demo_pkg AS
TYPE emp_cur_type IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE open_cur(curs IN OUT emp_cur_type, dept_num IN NUMBER);
END emp_demo_pkg;
[Code]....
While testing the initialization parameter open_cursors is set to 50.
It's my understanding that Oracle doesn't close the cursors until it needs the space for another cursor, which in my test case seems to happen when I enter a value of 50 or bigger for "number of loops". To see how oracle is reusing the cursors, while the test program is running I run SQL*Plus and query v$sesstat for the session that's running the test with the following sentence:
select name, value
from v$sesstat s, v$statname n
where s.statistic# = n.statistic#
and sid = 7
and name like '%cursor%';
Even before I enter a value for number of loops I can see that the session opened 4 cursors and closed 2 of them:
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
opened cursors cumulative 4
opened cursors current 2
Entering a value of 5 for number of loops yields
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
opened cursors cumulative 11 <----- 7+
opened cursors current 8 <----- 6+
With a value of 30
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
opened cursors cumulative 36 <----- 25+ (apparently, Oracle reused at least 5 cursors)
opened cursors current 33 <----- 25+
With a value of 47
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
opened cursors cumulative 53 <----- 17+
opened cursors current 50 <----- 17+
Now I reached the upper limit set by the initialization parameter open_cursors.
Entering a value of 48, I get the ORA-1000 error.
ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.EMP_DEMO
Since I open and close the cursor in the same loop iteration, I expect to find in every iterarion 1 explicit cursor and a number of implicit cursors (the PL/SQL call along with the so-called recursive cursors), but I don't expect the sum of all of them to be greater than 50. If my understanding is correct Oracle should be reusing the 50 cursors previously marked as "closeable", not raising the ORA-1000 error.
