SQL & PL/SQL :: NULL Index Table Key Value

Sep 26, 2010

We are getting the below error on a piece of code that chas been functioning fine for over 4 years..

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value
ORA-06512: at "pd.pf33", line 148

The line it's pointing at is merely a FOR loop that opens a cursor (select query) and loops through the items.

FOR rec IN csr_cash
LOOP
END LOOP

This piece of code has been functioning fine for years.. and never got this kind of error on a for loop. Could it be something internal to Oracle/underlying memory issues?

How To Check A Table If Exists

Oct 12, 2005

I have a script like this:

------------------------------------------------------------

DROP TABLE CON_TEST CASCADE CONSTRAINTS ;

CREATE TABLE CON_TEST (
IDI NUMBER(10,0),
USERID VARCHAR2(10),
PWD VARCHAR2(10),
NOTE VARCHAR(100)
)

----------------------

But i think if table CON_TEST doen't exist, an error message will appear. I know that in SQL Server we can check if table exists or not. So, i wonder if we can do that in Oracle?

By the way, is there any way to run a file script that contents TABLES, STORED, ... on a developed PC connect to oracle db server? (in case, i'm developing on PC, using Net Service Name to conect to Oracle DB Server)

SQL & PL/SQL :: Check Every Table For Data?

Oct 30, 2012

I'm working on a feature that needs to check every table for data. At the moment I am roundtripping every time and running the query like this:

SELECT 1 FROM dual WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 'x' FROM table_name)

Is there a better way that allows me to get the result for all tables in one trip? I've tried a correlated subquery like this:

SELECT table_name, (SELECT 1 FROM dual WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 'x' FROM table_name) FROM all_tables

but I think that doesn't work because Oracle looks for a table called table_name rather than the value from the outer query.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Counting NULL Vs NON-NULL In A GROUP BY Clause

Jun 21, 2010

I am running a GROUP BY query on a few columns of enumerated data like:

select count(*), Condition, Size
group by Condition, Size;

COUNT(*) CONDITION SIZE
-------- ---------- --------
3 MINT L
2 FAIR L
4 FAIR M
1 MINT S

Well, let's say I also have a timestamp field in the database. I cannot run a group by with that involved because the time is recorded to the milisec and is unique for every record. Instead, I want to include this in my group by function based on whether or not it is NULL.

For example:

COUNT(*) CONDITION SIZE SOLDDATE
-------- ---------- -------- ----------
3 MINT L ISNULL
2 FAIR L NOTNULL
2 FAIR M NOTNULL
2 FAIR M ISNULL
1 MINT S ISNULL

SQL & PL/SQL :: Check Existing Entries In Table

Apr 3, 2012

I am abolute new in PL SQL and I am working on following topic:

I have to check if an entry exists in a table.

- if it exists ...... do something
- if not ...... simply go on

I tried the following:

select Count(*)from products p
where p.productNbr = temp_Nbr
Group By t.produkt;

I fetched the result into a variable entries

if entries > 0 .....

MY problem is the following:

If there are entries (entries>0) --> it works
If there are no entries, entries is not 0 but 'no data found' --> crash

I cannot work with Exceptions because this all happens in a Loop which must go on in both cases!

SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Check Record Exist In Table

Feb 13, 2013

Usually we check 1 row of data in table and compare if they exist, i want to compare different set of row all together to comapre and take the decisions

eg.

emp table_source
d_key emp_no invol
1 103499 1
1 99262 2
2 103499 1
3 103499 1
3 99262 2

target table

emp_no invol
103499 1
99262 2
103499 1

in the above example i have to check for d_key for set of row exist in target or not, so by above example d_key 1 and 3 has save value in 2 different rows so i want to check if the combination of rows

103499 1
99262 2

as a set appear in source then do nothing else insert so first time d_key 1 both records will insert but for d_key has same set in 2 rows will not be inseted. the number of row can be more than 2 also . so for the given key if we have 3 rows in source then i have to compare all the 3 same set of row in target exist of . in the target i don't have any extra column.
