SQL & PL/SQL :: Select Dynamic Column Names In Select Statement In Function?
Jul 4, 2010i want to select dynamic column names in my select statement in my function.
View 4 Repliesi want to select dynamic column names in my select statement in my function.
View 4 RepliesI have a table with around 80 columns. All i need is to select first 40 columns.
Is there any way to select first 40 columns without giving all the 40 Column Names in select clause.
is it possible to use the records returned by a query as column names in a select query.
select (select column_name from dba_tab_cols where table_name='V_$DATABASE' and column_name like '%CONTROL%')
from v$database;

I am trying to run a dynamic select statement form a function and return the result into a variable, everything goes fine but the return is always null!
CREATE TABLE AFESD.MAJOR_ACCOUNT
(
NUMBER0 NUMBER(2) NOT NULL,
SHORT_NAME CHAR(35 BYTE) NOT NULL,
FULL_NAME CHAR(50 BYTE)
)
--Actually any table can do
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION F_GEN_SELECT_INT
(S_APP_USER IN VARCHAR2, I_MODULE_ID IN NUMBER, S_TABLE IN VARCHAR2, S_COLUMNS IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER
AS
I_RETURN NUMBER;
S_SQL VARCHAR2(300);
--S_DB_ERROR VARCHAR2(100);

How to use a function with DML operations in it in a select statement.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I am trying to use decode function in sql and inside decode function can I use select statement ?
here is my sql
select we.wf_entity_id, decode(object_type_id,
1, select audit_number from ea_audit_general where sys_audit_id=object_id
2,'test',
object_type_id
) from wf_entity we
where
[code]....
see this
decode(object_type_id,
1, select audit_number from ea_audit_general where sys_audit_id=object_id
2,'test',
object_type_id
)
will this work? Its not working for me?
How to call a function with a row type return in an Oracle select statement.
For e.g. :
If I had this function with a rowtype return:
------------------------------
create function abc
return xyz%rowtype
is
rec xyz%rowtype;
begin
select * into rec from xyz where col1 = n;
return rec;
end;
--------------------------------
How could I use this in a select clause, as there is a multi column return by the function ?
just i want add diiferece column in my select statement.For Example:-
select
Name,
Salary,
Designation,
date_first_payment,
date_last_payment,
(date_first_payment-date_last_payment) Datediff
from My_table
then its working
select *,(date_first_payment-date_last_payment) Datediff
from My_table
its not working..
I have table desc xx_testName
Null Type
-------- -------- --------------
COL1 NOT NULL NVARCHAR2(100) COL2 NOT NULL NVARCHAR2(100) COL3 NOT NULL NVARCHAR2(100)
i am able to query select * from xx_test however if i query as select col1 from xx_test then it is giving error.
ORA-00904: "COL1": invalid identifier00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"*
Cause: *Action:Error at Line: 3,131 Column: 13
Let me know how to query NVARCHAR2 column and how can we put in WHERE condition ?
I'm writing a VPD function to be used for column masking. The predicate (WHERE-clause) it generates may take many different forms. In particular, it may contain inner-selects; for example,
"exists(select '*' from B where B.VAL = '123' and A.KEY = B.KEY)"
where A is the table that is associated to the VPD function, and B is some other table.
if this is OK for column masking? If not, my VPD function may sometimes work and sometimes fail, in unexpected ways.
The Oracle Database Security Guide (11g Release 1) says
Column-masking conditions generated by the policy function must be simple Boolean expressions, unlike regular Oracle Virtual Private Database predicates".
This seems to indicate that there are cases where a VPD function works for row-level security, but not for column masking.
an example of a 'regular Oracle VPD predicate' that doesn't work for column-masking?

I have a problem with Dynamic SQL.
I have written an SQL which will dynamically generate the Select statement with from and where clause in it.
But that select statement when executed will get me hundreds of rows and i want to insert each row separately into one more table.
For that i have used a ref cursor to open and insert the table.
In the select list the column names will also be as follows: COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3,....COLUMNn
find below the sample code:
TYPE ref_csr IS REF CURSOR;
insert_csr ref_csr;
v_select VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_table VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_where VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_ins_tab VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_insert VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_ins_query VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
[Code]...

I want the output from two tables with rows to columns and generate dynamic basing on the columns.
For example: Table A (a1) , Table B(a1,b1)
Data: A B
------ ----
a1 a1 b1
--- ---- ----
1 1 x
2 1 y
3 2 a
2 b
2 c
o/p: Columnname col_1 col_2 col_3
-----------------------------------------------
a1 b1_1 b1_2 b1_3
----- ---------------------
1 x y
2 a b c
Columns should be generated based on the second table second column.
In the following merge statement in the USINg clause...I am using a select stament of one schema WEDB.But that same select statement should take data from 30 schemeas and then check the condition below condition
ON(source.DNO = target.DNO
AND source.BNO=target.BNO);
I thought that using UNIONALL for select statement of the schemas as below.
SELECT
DNO,
BNO,
c2,
c3,
c4,
c5,
c6,

Why Oracle allowing the Built-in function names as column name in data base table
Ex :
create table to_char
(to_number number(8) , to_char char(20) , to_date date ,substr varchar2(20))
I wrote a simple procedure to copy the create timestamp and create user name to update timestamp and update user name of the same record. (See code below)
This works fine for a hard-coded table and primary key column. However, I cannot figure out how to get this to work with dynamic sql.
All my other procs, which don't use SELECT UPDATE FOR work fine with dynamic sql.
Proc that works:
CODECREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_set_upd_columns
IS
CURSOR c1 IS
SELECT *
FROM mytable
FOR UPDATE
ORDER BY mycolumn;
c1rec c1%ROWTYPE;
[code].........
Partial proc that does NOT work:
CODECREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE LDEVORE.proc_set_upd_columns (
p_input_table_name IN VARCHAR2,
p_pk_id_col_name IN VARCHAR2)
IS
v_qry_str VARCHAR2(1000);
v_cursor_str VARCHAR2(1000);
v_create_tmstmp TIMESTAMP;
v_create_user_name VARCHAR2(30);
[code].......
I do not know the table name but have a query that for sure returns the table name and I want to select a column value from the table into my PLSQL variable.
Here is the code :
DECLARE
v_VerTabName VARCHAR2(30);
v_Minor NUMBER(2);
[Code]....
But when I compile this I get ORA-00936 : Missing expression at the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE line.
I have a question regarding the optimal way to code a dynamic SELECT INTO statement. Below are the 2 posiibilities I know of:
1. Dynamically executing the SELECT statement and making use of the INTO clause of the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
statement
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_num_of_employees (p_loc VARCHAR2, p_job VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
v_query_str VARCHAR2(1000);
[code]...
2. Encapsulating the SELECT INTO statement in a block and dynamically exectuting the block
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_num_of_employees (p_loc VARCHAR2, p_job VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
v_query_str VARCHAR2(1000);
[code]...
which way would be preferred? I know the second method uses a bind variable for the INTO clause, but does the first one also use bind varialbes (no semi-colon)? Any differences in terms of efficiency or speed?
I 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 ?
simply select and works great:
select 'CARAT Issue Open' issue_comment, i.issue_id, i.issue_status, i.issue_title, i.ISSUE_summary ,i.issue_description, i.severity,gcrs.Area_name, gcrs.sector_name,
substr(gcrs.stream_name,1,case when instr(gcrs.stream_name,' (')=0 then 100 else instr(gcrs.stream_name,' (')-1 end) ISSUE_DIVISION,
case when gcrs.STREAM_NAME like 'NON-GT%' THEN 'NON-GT' ELSE gcrs.STREAM_NAME END as ISSUE_DIVISION_2
from table(f_carat_issues_as_of('31/MAR/2013')) i inner join v_gcrs_with_stream gcrs on i.segment_id = gcrs.segment_id
where UPPER(ISSUE_STATUS) like '%OPEN%'
Now I want to callte two columns:ISSUE_DIVISION and ISSUE_DIVISION_2
if they are equal in new columns should be value 1 if are not equal should be 0,how can I do it ?
I have a question about select statements, as I am new to them and don't know how to work all the commands yet.
I'm making a select statement that is about half right... it is shown below:
select t.warehouse_id,
t.quantity_on_hand,
c.product_name
from pahtest3.inventories t
join pahtest3.product_information c using (product_id)
WHERE warehouse_id in (7);
I need to take this select statement and make it so it shows all the products that don't have any quantities in the warehouse in addition to the ones that are already being shown in that select statement.
decode (a.cancel_time,'',sum ((to_date('23:59','hh24:mi') - a.alarm_time)*24*60), sum((a.cancel_time - a.alarm_time)*24*60)) Duration,
After executing this statement. I get negative values if cancel time is null
I want to subtract alarm_time by 24 hours, if cancel time is null. If not null then cancel-time - alarm_time
how to set the timing on for all SELECT statements in a procudeure...and i want that should come as a output for very SELECT statement slong with my original output.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a need to use the Alias name of a column within the same select statement( because I can't have another select statement using the first select as table - BO tool limitation).
Ex:
Select dept_id, agency, sum(quantity) as "sum_qty"
where sum_qty > 500;
Currently oracle won't allow using alias name Sum_qty in the same select statement. Is there a way to use alias within the same select statement?
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 have the following tables:
create table lookups (code varchar2(20), amount number);
insert into lookups values ('Rent' , 500);
insert into lookups values ('Breakpoint' , 10);
create table products (id number, cost number, year varchar2(4));
insert into products values (1, 1000, '2011');
insert into products values (1, 2000, '2011');
insert into products values (2, 100, '2011');
insert into products values (3, 50, '2011');
commit;
I want to write a query which lists the IDs and the sum(cost), and a Y/N indicator which is set to 'Y' IF sum(cost) > ( (lookups.rent value) * (100 - lookups.breakpoint value))/100
I have written this query:
SELECT id,
sum(cost)cost,
year,
CASE
WHEN cost >
((SELECT amount
[code]....... ORDER BY id;
This returns
ID COST YEAR YN
--------- ---------- ---- -
1 1000 2011 Y
1 2000 2011 Y
2 100 2011 N
3 50 2011 N
The YN is correct, but it needs to sum the amounts. So there should only be one row for id1 = 3000.e.g.
ID COST YEAR YN
--------- ---------- ---- -
1 3000 2011 Y
2 100 2011 N
3 50 2011 N
I am not sure how to do this. Or is there a better way of doing this than using CASE.
