View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table that has 2 columns of type nested table. Now in the purge process, when I try to truncate or drop a partition from this table, I get error that I can't do this (because table has nested tables). how I will be able to truncate/drop partition from this table? IF I change column types from nested table to varray type, will it work?
Also, is there any short method of moving existing data from a nested table column to a varray column (having same fields as nested table)?
We are upgrading from oracle 9.2.0.8 to 11g r2, and both are Standard Edition database. The database is part of a product that runs on a customer site, and won't get bigger than 50 GB. It runs in archive mode, and our backup script does a hot backup every night, plus copying the archive logs, redos, controlfiles, etc. We save 2 entire backups - from the last night plus the night before last. Then there's a tape backup that saves the backed-up files to an off-server location.
This architecture has allowed us to recover our customer's data from many odd occurrences at customer sites (power loss during a hot backup, corrupt controlfiles/datafiles/archivelogs). My question is, given that we are running the Standard Edition database, which doesn't have most of the useful RMAN features, is it worth it to switch to RMAN?
I took an Oracle Backup and Recovery class and posed this question to the instructor, and the response was, it would be better to use RMAN over a manual user backup script. Our backup script is pretty battle-hardened - is that the best reason?
a material related to collections with Examples and also how to declare table type values.

DECLARE TYPE table_type1 IS TABLE OF INTEGER; TYPE table_type2 IS TABLE OF TABLE_TYPE1;
table_tab1 table_type1 := table_type1();
table_tab2 table_type2 := table_type2(table_tab1);

table_tab2(i) := table_type1();
[Code]...
exception when others then dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);END; This code is working fine as of now.But,If i comment below code(table_tab2 is also extended latter):
table_tab2.extend;
table_tab2(i) := table_type1();
then it gives me error 'Subscription Beyond count'. I would like to know why i need to extend table_tab2 twice?!
I want to truncate table partition but I'm getting error:
CODEORA-02266: unique/primary keys in table referenced by enabled foreign keys
because of table has a nested table. Currently this column is not in use so I could drop it, but I want to avoid it (table is huge). Is there another posibility to do truncate partitions in this table? ALTER TABLE ... SET UNUSED doesn't resolve the problem.
I try to do this:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MV_NESTED_DATA
NOCACHE
LOGGING
NOCOMPRESS
NOPARALLEL
BUILD IMMEDIATE
USING NO INDEX
REFRESH COMPLETE
ON DEMAND
START WITH ROUND(SYSDATE)
NEXT ROUND(SYSDATE) + 1
WITH ROWID
AS
select NESTED_TABLE_FIELD from MY_TABLE@Y_DB_LINK;
where NESTED_TABLE_FIELD is a nested table stored as T_NESTED_TABLE
And I get the error: ORA-12014: table 'T_NESTED_TABLE' does not contain a primary key constraint
Why should it if I try to create a MV with "WITH ROWID" refresh option and not "WITH PRIMARY KEY" one?
I have created table with nested table:

I have added some records and created index on ID column. I want to get result of CODEselect id, p.addr1,p.addr2 from nested_table n,table(n.COL1) p where id=1
Explain plan for that is:
CODESELECT STATEMENT ALL_ROWSCost: 8 Bytes: 231 Cardinality: 3
4 HASH JOIN Cost: 8 Bytes: 231 Cardinality: 3
2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID TABLE SYS.NESTED_TABLE Cost: 2 Bytes: 13 Cardinality: 1
1 INDEX RANGE SCAN INDEX SYS.FDSFAS Cost: 1 Cardinality: 1
3 TABLE ACCESS FULL TABLE (NESTED) SYS.COL1_TAB Cost: 5 Bytes: 163,840 Cardinality: 2,560
How to avoid full table scan on nested table? Cardinality is sum of all records in nested column in all rows in main table, why?
I'm trying to sort a collection in a nested table in PL/SQL so these value can be used later for a display and for export to Excel. The sort is failing.
-- PLS-00642: local collection not allowed in SQL statements
-- PL/SQl: ORA-00902: invalid datatype
The error message are also noted below in the code on the line that fails.
A quick overview of this code- Using a nested table MyNestedTable the values from several select queries are combined into MyRecordsetZero using CURSOR, and MULTISET UNION. I'm trying to either sort MyRecordsetZero or populate MyRecordsetSorted with the sorted values for futher use.
IMPORTANT: The code is running in an enviroment that does not have permission to create.

BEGIN
-- I populate test1 with the data and it works fine. But when I tried to make a sorted nested table with the following command.
I got this error 'ORA-00902: invalid datatype',
a nested table than the following, like a built in Oracle collection method?

I want to check whether language is already there in database or not.
i have written the below query
select * from emp where language_known =nesttype('english','hindi');
i am getting the below error

How to compare data in nested table
need to use Extend() in nested tables in Oracle? What could be the problem if I do not use this method in my code?
I have a nested collection type (TABLE OF VARCHAR2(32)) declared in my package. My stored procedure takes the TABLE type as input and inserts that data into a database table.
I see that my code works fine without using EXTEND method.

Above is the sample code, and now i want to pass 'emp' as an input parameter to the procedure.
How can I do that, as emp is of nst_type type and I do not know how my procedure will recognize the datatype...
I am exploring the differences between OBJECT & RECORD. As i am still in process of learning, I found that both are structures which basically groups elements of different datatypes or columns of different datatypes, one is used in SQL and other is used in PL/SQL. Below i am trying to insert data into an table of type object but i am unsuccessful.

Insert values into a table. The table is called PurchaseOrder_objtab. Here is the type for the table:
CREATE TYPE PurchaseOrder_objtyp AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS OBJECT
(
PONo NUMBER,
CUST_ref REF Customer_objtyp,
OrderDate DATE,
ShipDate DATE,
[code]...
The LineItemList_ntab is a nested table.
Here is the create code for LineItemList_ntabtyp:
CREATE TYPE LineItem_objtyp AS OBJECT (
LineItemNo NUMBER,
Stock_ref REF StockItem_objtyp,
Quantity NUMBER,
Discount NUMBER
)
[code]...
In the above code, the LineItemList_ntab is an empty LineItemList_ntabtyp. I am wanting to add values to this nested table rather than it being empty in the INSERT INTO code.
Here is some of the code I have tried to insert values with:
INSERT INTO PurchaseOrder_objtab
SELECT 1008, REF(C),
SYSDATE, '12-MAY-1999',
LineItemList_ntabtyp(1, REF(StckItem), 10, 1) FROM Stock_objtab StckItem WHERE StckItem.StockNo = 1004,
NULL
[code]...
The first insert statement above produces the following error:
SQL Error: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
The second insert statement above produces the following error:
SQL Error: ORA-00936: missing expression
successfully insert values into the LineItemList_ntab nested table?

I have some problem when i try to export data from a table which contains a nested table, using toad.
When toad generate the file, in the column corresponding to the nested table, toad just write a (DATASET) instead of the data contained in the nested table
Here is an example:
INSERT INTO SSD_REV_S ( REV_ID, REV_TAB, REV_TS, REV_USER, REV_LOG )
VALUES (
TO_Date( '07/30/2007 12:00:00 AM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM'), (DATASET), TO_TIMESTAMP('4/3/2009 11:20:51.000000 AM','fmMMfm/fmDDfm/YYYY fmHH12fm:MI:SS.FF AM'), 'operator', 'Add EVENT');
REV_TAB is my nested table
way to export data from a table which contain a nested table, as a list of insert statement, so i can move the data to a different database schema? I can also use different client tool.

How to create this pl/sql process to add elements to a nested table or varray within a loop. Here's the scenario: I have an apex package that has some pl/sql processes and some stored procedures. I am dealing with Inspection Areas. An Inspection Area has several sectors. I already have the loop that lists all the Inspection Areas and a loop inside that loop that lists all the sectors. There is an if statement that determines whether or not the sector name gets stored in the varray or table. I am not sure how to correctly do this and am not sure whether to use a nested table or varray. I've posted somewhat of a pseudo coded example below
If (you_belong_in_table) then
variable := store_me_in_varray /* OR */
variable := array_type(sector.sector_name)
i := i + 1;
end if;
/* Now we output our varray or table */
start loop
output(sector names one by one)
end loop I hope this makes sense. I more so just need the syntax to be able to continually added values to a table or varray while I'm already inside a loop; and also how to output those values end the end as well.
What is the real time uses for Associative array, nested table and varray ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've to do a update activity for data correction. There are about 1 crore records involved in this. I want to keep a log of the activity at least Sales No. so that I can validate my data correction. Main cursor is involved for this. The problem is if I insert each record for sales number in the loop then process will take about double time. So i decided to create a nested table and insert after each session finishes.
I'm talking about session here is. The table I'm updation is partition table. So I can have many sessions and each session updating different table partition. This way there is no lock, better performance. Server has 35 processors so I can at least have 25 sessiions.
I could have used varray for this. But I want to learn nested table also. Problem here is not to take different way to complete this activity but to learn why I'm facing this issue.

Is there a way we could define a record or a nestedtable with a type based on weak refursor i.e
TYPE RC IS REF CURSOR;
C2 RC;
Type t is table of c2%rowtype;
Following is some more explanation of what I am trying to do.
I have a table T with column A and B. Column A is a primary key with number 1,2,3,4,5,6, Column B has diffrent sql stmts stored. i.e 'Select * from emp', Select count(1) from dept' and so on. So table will look like
1 Select * from emp
2 Select count(1) from dept
Now I want to select statements stored in table T one by one and execute them by using cursor. Problem arises as i need to fetch the cursor into some variable but the outcome of each statment is diffrent and oracle does not allow to use cursorname%rowtype for a weak ref cursor.
I am expecting the input to my procedure will be in the following format
'AAA, aaa, Aa12|BBB, bbb, bb2B|dd3, DDDE,ddd67'
I need to convert it to nested table and when I query the nested table , the output should be
column_value
------------
AAA
aaa
Aa1
BBB
bbb
bb2B
dd3
DDDE
ddd67
