• Dimension to build using the SQL table and process to populate the SQL table

  I have a dimension in a cube that is manually* built by one of our power users. Now, I have to get all the information of members of this dimension in a SQL table (example: with columns... Level0, level0property, level1, level1property etc...) to use this table in the STUDIO for the responsibility of the Member.
  
  Is there any easy process to do this? Currently I am building each line manually in the SQL table and there are 1100 + members in that manually built dimension. Please advice.

  RECORD type is only supported in PL/SQL for SQL, you must use the OBJECT type.

  I don't think that COLLECT in BULK supports complex tables like the one descrbed you - unless you use arrays of objects. You can probably have an array of types of complex objects, but I did not do that.

  If you can not get to COLLECT it in BULK for work use nested loops to put values in the nested tables.

  If the number of items in the 'internal' table is fixed you pouvez use BULK COLLECT with an array of records.

  Thanks, but I don't want to store the value in a table.

  Why not? The best place for data is in a SQL table - where is can be indexed, ordered, filtered, put together and so on.

  It is also not such a thing as a «+ table PL +» This data structures is nothing like a table. It is a collection or a table - which is the correct terminology and terminology for the same data structures in languages ranging from Pascal to Java for Delphi and C/C++.

  Calling it a + "PL table +" creates the false idea that the data structure is SQL table as... which could not be further from the truth. They have almost nothing in common. There is a huge difference between a table and a collection from a table SQL.

  I want to
  table ALIGNMENT (TYPE list IS TABLE OF r_empobj ;) is assigned (type r_empobj IS RECORD (empid number, ename varchar2 (100));)

  These data resides inside the PL language like PL data structures It is not a structure of SQL data.

  The SQL language and the language PL are different languages with different runtimes. PL/SQL integrates and "connects" them--blurs the border between these two languages. But they are still clearly distinct and different languages.

  If you have three choices:
  

• write a quick-sort /-bubble sort to sort the data PL. structure plastic
  
• Copy the entire structure of data of PL SQL data structure, use the SQL engine for sorting and then copy the entire structure of SQL data in PL.
  
• do not use a collection/table of PL structure, but use a SQL table instead.

• Hi all, how can restrict us and end from 'a droping table' user but need access to the 'workshop of data' to load the data into the spreadsheet.

  Hi all

  How can we limit and end user of "droping a table."

  For example: I created an array of login admin and gave access to "SQL workshop" for the end user. but after that I have created a table, the end user cannot access object browser shop and drop a table. one thing we can do does not have access to the SQL workshop. However, my requirement is the user needs to access the data workshop, which is located under the SQL workshop but they it should not access the tables.

  Kindly let me know how we can do this?

  There is no way not to restrict access to individual tools in the workshop of SQL. Rather than give the developer-level end-users to access the SQL workshop, create applications containing data support Wizards, where end-user access can be controlled using the standard APEX authentication and authorization schemas.

• ODI - read CSV file and write to the Oracle table

  Hello world

  After 4 years, I started to work again with ODI, and I'm completely lost.

  I need help, I don't know what to use for each step, interfaces, variables, procedures...

  What I have to do is the following:

  (1) reading a CSV file-> I have the topologies and the model defined

  (2) assess whether there is a field of this CSV file in TABLE A-> who do not exist in the table is ignored (I tried with an interface joining the csv with the TABLE model a model and recording the result in a temporary data store)

  Evaluate 3) I need to update TABLE C and if not I need to INSERT if another field that CSV exists in TABLE B-> if there

  Could someone help me with what use?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi how are you?

  You must:

  Create an interface with the CSV template in the source and a RDBM table in the target (I'll assume you are using Oracle). Any type of filter or the transformation must be defined to be run in the stadium. (you must use a LKM for SQL file and add an IKM Sql control (it is best to trim them and insert the data when it cames to a file if you want after this process, you may have an incremental update to maintain history or something like that).)

  

  For validation, you will use a reference constraints in the model of the oracle table: (for this you need a CKM Oracle to check constraints)

  

  Then, you must select the table that you sponsor and in the column, you choose which column you will match.

  

  

  To article 3, you repeat the above process.

  And that's all. Pretty easy. If you do not have the two tables that you need to use your validation that you need to load before loading the CSV file you need valid.

  Hope this can help you

• How to execute a SQL statement that is stored within a SQL Table

  Hello

  If someone please help me with the following problem I would be eternally grateful

  I have a SQL statement that is stored inside a certain SQL table, I want to use this SQL statement inside my PL/SQL procedure.

  Thought a simple solution was to get the SQL statement in a table, and then run it, but how could I do so exactly with PL/SQL? I only started to play with PL/SQL in the last days.

  Thanks in advance!

  This is what it looks like more or less:

  Display result for:

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

  SELECT TRIM (OBJ_VALU_TXT)

  OF OBJ_VALU_DOC

  WHERE TYPE_OBJET = 'FLD '.

  AND OBJECT_CODE = 15443

  AND OBJ_VALU_CD = 'CAB '.

  WHERE (RECEIPT_NO BETWEEN

  (: OUT-COMP-FACTOR AND: OUT TO A NUMBER) OR

  (RECEIPT_NO >: OUT-COMP-FACTOR AND)

  (: OUT-TO-NUMBER = 0)

  Here's a demo of your condition.

  create table t (col1 varchar2 (200));

  table created

  insert into values t ('select * from double ');

  1 row inserted

  declare
  v_col varchar2 (200);
  v_val varchar2 (200);
  Start

  Select col1 in t v_col;

  run immediately v_col in v_val;
  dbms_output.put_line (v_val);
  end;

  -----
  X

  Use in the clause, you can use as many variables as needed. But the basic approach remains the same.

  But storage in DB SQL is not an efficient design.

• Performance issue Bulk Insert PL/SQL table type

  Hi all
  
  I put in work of a batch to fill a table with a large number of data records(>3,000,000). To reduce the execution time, I used PL/SQL tables to temporarily store data that must be written to the destination table. Once all documents are piling up in the PL/SQL table I use a FORALL operator for bulk insert the records in the physical table.
  
  Currently, I follow two approaches to implement the process described above. (Please see the code segments below). I need to choose how to best wise performance between these two approaches. I really appreciate all the comments of experts about the runtime of the two approaches.
  
  (I don't see much difference in consumption of time in my test environment that has limited the data series. This process involves building a complex set of structures of large product once deployed in the production environment).
  
  
  Approach I:_
  DECLARE
  TYPE of test_type IS test_tab % ROWTYPE directory INDEX TABLE;
  test_type_ test_type.
  ins_idx_ NUMBER;
  BEGIN
  ins_idx_: = 1;
  NESTED LOOPS
  test_type_ (ins_idx_) .column1: = value1;
  test_type_ (ins_idx_) .column2: = value2;
  test_type_ (ins_idx_) .column3: = value3;
  ins_idx_: = ins_idx_ + 1;
  END LOOP;
  
  I_ FORALL in 1.test_type_. COUNTY
  INSERT INTO test_tab VALUES (i_) test_type_;
  END;
  /
  
  
  Approach II:_
  DECLARE
  Column1 IS a TABLE OF TYPE test_tab.column1%TYPE INDEX DIRECTORY.
  Column2 IS a TABLE OF TYPE test_tab.column2%TYPE INDEX DIRECTORY.
  Column3 IS a TABLE OF TYPE test_tab.column3%TYPE INDEX DIRECTORY.
  column1 column1_;

  column2_ (ins_idx_): = value2;
  column3_ (ins_idx_): = value3;
  ins_idx_: = ins_idx_ + 1;
  END LOOP;
  
  FORALL idx_ in 1.column1_. COUNTY

  Performance is more than just reducing the execution time.

  Just as smashing a car stops more than a car in the fastest possible time.

  If it was (breaking a car stopping all simply), then a brick with reinforced concrete wall construction, would have been the perfect way to stop all types of all sorts of speed motor vehicles.

  Only problem (well more than one actually) is that stop a vehicle in this way is bad for the car, the engine, the driver, passengers and any other content inside.

  And pushing 3 million records in a PL/SQL 'table' (btw, that is a WRONG terminology - there no PL/SQL table structure) in order to run a SQL cursor INSERT 3 million times, to reduce the execution times, is no different than using a brick wall to stop a car.

  Both approaches are pretty well imperfect. Both places an unreasonable demand on the memory of the PGA. Both are still row-by-row (aka slow-by-slow) treatment.

  In general, Yes, if the function is a function table, you can do something like:

• Selecting rows with nulls in a sql table 3

  Hi everyone I use oracle database 11g and have the following SQL statement:

  SELECT Oprema.Opr_Id, Oprema.Datum_Nabavke, Oprema.Datum_Zaduzenja, Oprema.Dobavljac, Oprema.Jedinica_Mjere,
       coalesce ((Oprema.Zaduzio), 0), Oprema.Vrijednost, Oprema.Kolicina_Nabavna, Oprema.Kolicina_Otpisana, Oprema.Kolicina_Trenutna, Oprema.Status, Oprema.Konto,
       Oprema.KontoIsp, Oprema.Broj_Naloga, Oprema.Sifra_Objekta, Dobavljaci.Naziv AS DobNaz, coalesce(to_char(Uposlenici.Prezime), 'hm'), Objekti.Objekat_ID 
  FROM OPREMA Oprema, UPOSLENICI Uposlenici, DOBAVLJACI Dobavljaci, OBJEKTI Objekti
  WHERE  Oprema.Dobavljac=Dobavljaci.Dob_Id AND Oprema.Zaduzio=Uposlenici.UposlenikId AND Oprema.Sifra_Objekta=Objekti.Objekat_ID

  What I need is to show all the rows in the database. The problem is that some of the foreign key Zaduzio and Objekti have NULL value. This means that the database will not appear those and only shows me the lines where both have values. In all these lines with the exception of 3 one of the two foreign key has a value.
  
  So what I need is a sql that would show me all 3. As you can see I tried with Coallesce but he did not, although 3 rows show.
  
  I also tried with UNION

  SELECT Oprema.Opr_Id, Oprema.Datum_Nabavke, Oprema.Datum_Zaduzenja, Oprema.Dobavljac, Oprema.Jedinica_Mjere,
       Oprema.Zaduzio, Oprema.Vrijednost, Oprema.Kolicina_Nabavna, Oprema.Kolicina_Otpisana, Oprema.Kolicina_Trenutna, Oprema.Status, Oprema.Konto,
       Oprema.KontoIsp, Oprema.Broj_Naloga, Oprema.Sifra_Objekta, Dobavljaci.Naziv AS DobNaz, Uposlenici.Prezime, Objekti.Objekat_ID 
  FROM OPREMA Oprema, UPOSLENICI Uposlenici, DOBAVLJACI Dobavljaci, OBJEKTI Objekti
  WHERE  Oprema.Dobavljac=Dobavljaci.Dob_Id AND Oprema.Zaduzio=Uposlenici.UposlenikId AND Oprema.Sifra_Objekta=Objekti.Objekat_ID

  But then the lines containing values both Zaduzio and Objekti are multiplied and selected twice.
  
  So any ideas on how to do this?

  Hello

  If foreign keys are NULL, an inner join will produce no results. You may need to do an outer join, like this:

  SELECT  Oprema.Opr_Id
  ,      Oprema.Datum_Nabavke
  ,      Oprema.Datum_Zaduzenja
  ,      Oprema.Dobavljac

  ,      Oprema.Vrijednost
  ,      Oprema.Kolicina_Nabavna
  ,      Oprema.Kolicina_Otpisana
  ,      Oprema.Kolicina_Trenutna

  ,      Dobavljaci.Naziv     AS DobNaz
  ,      COALESCE ( TO_CHAR (Uposlenici.Prezime)
             , 'hm'
             )          AS prezime_or_hm
  ,      Objekti.Objekat_ID
  FROM            OPREMA
  JOIN            DOBAVLJACI  ON   Oprema.Dobavljac      = Dobavljaci.Dob_Id
  LEFT OUTER JOIN      UPOSLENICI  ON       Oprema.Zaduzio     = Uposlenici.UposlenikId
  LEFT OUTER JOIN  OBJEKTI     ON       Oprema.Sifra_Objekta  = Objekti.Objekat_ID
  ;
  

  I hope that answers your question.
  If not, post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and the results desired from these data.
  Simplify the problem. For example, if you really need display 18 columns, but 15 of them have nothing to do with the problem, and then ask a question that includes just e or 4 of these columns.
  Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
  Always say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

• PL/SQL tables

  Hello guys,.
  I have a few questions about the PL/SQL tables
  
  (1) if I don't specify the 'INDEX BY' clause, they are indexed by PLS_INTEGER default, right?
  
  (2) consider this package specification
  

  CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE Testxyz AS
  
  TYPE tab_Numbers IS TABLE OF PLS_INTEGER;
  
  PROCEDURE TestNumber(ptab_Numbers IN tab_Numbers := NULL);
  
  
  END Testxyz;

  So I created a table (I hope it's standard indexed by type of data pls_integer) and I am in him passing as parameter to a procedure. Because I want this parameter be optional I assign null inside.
  
  Now, I change the table definition for:
  

  CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE Testxyz AS
  
  TYPE tab_Numbers IS TABLE OF PLS_INTEGER INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
  
  PROCEDURE TestNumber(ptab_Numbers IN tab_Numbers := NULL);
  
  
  END Testxyz;

  Try to compile it and you get:
  Error (5.53): PLS-00382: expression is of the wrong type
  
  Why?
  
  (3) because I need this optional parameter, I use the first statement:
  

  CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE Testxyz AS
  
  TYPE tab_Numbers IS TABLE OF PLS_INTEGER;
  
  PROCEDURE TestNumber(ptab_Numbers IN tab_Numbers := NULL);
  
  
  END Testxyz;

  Now I create an anonymous block, and you want to set something in the table
  

  DECLARE
     vtab_Numbers TESTXYZ.tab_Numbers;
  BEGIN
  
     vtab_Numbers(1) := 5;
  
  
  END;
  /

  When you try to run it, I got:
  06531 00000 - 'refers to an uninitialized collection.
  
  Can someone help me understand this problem?
  Is it possible to have input of type PL/SQL table setting and have a standard null, are assigned?
  
  Thanks, Dan

  (1) if I don't specify the 'INDEX BY' clause, they are indexed by PLS_INTEGER default, right?

  N ° or somehow.

  More critical, and using official terms of [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25519/composites.htm#CHDBHJEI] documentation so that we don't get into unnecessary arguments about the correct terms for these features, it's the difference between types of ASSOCIATIVE TABLE and the IMBRIQUEE TABLE collection.

  If you omit the "INDEX BY" clause, it is a type of TABLE IMBRIQUEE collection. A type of TABLE IMBRIQUEE is always indexed by PLS_INTEGER.

  When you include the ' INDEX OF ', this is an ASSOCIATIVE ARRAY.

  (2) consider this package specification
  Try to compile it and you get:
  Error (5.53): PLS-00382: expression is of the wrong type

  Why?

  Because you cannot assign NULL to an ASSOCIATIVE ARRAY.

  In the same way, you cannot do this:

  SQL> DECLARE
    2   TYPE tab_Numbers IS TABLE OF PLS_INTEGER INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
    3   v1 tab_Numbers;
    4  BEGIN
    5   v1 := NULL;
    6  END;

  If you want two entry points to TestNumber with an ASSOCIATIVE ARRAY or NULL then overload the procedure.

  If you want to call a procedure with a TABLE IMBRIQUE collection type you can the default empty:

  SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE Testxyz
    2  AS
    3   TYPE tab_Numbers IS TABLE OF PLS_INTEGER;
    4   PROCEDURE TestNumber(ptab_Numbers IN tab_Numbers DEFAULT tab_Numbers());
    5   PROCEDURE TestNumber;
    6  END Testxyz;
    7  /
  
  Package created.
  
  SQL> 
  

  (3) because I need this optional parameter, I use the first statement
  When you try to run it, I got:
  06531 00000 - 'refers to an uninitialized collection.

  Because you have not initialized it.

  Different collection types require different semantics.

    2   TYPE tab_Numbers IS TABLE OF PLS_INTEGER;

• Help with PL/SQL table

  Hi all
  
  Newbie when it comes to PL/SQL tables...
  
  Can someone explain to me why it works and how exactly I can do the following without triggering an error?
  
  I have a function that accepts a PL/SQL table like in parameter.
  
  The PL/SQL table is defined as...
  

  Type TTimeTable is table of xxtzg_otl_iface_stg%rowtype index by binary_integer;

  the xxtzg_otl_iface_stg table has many columns including error_message and error_flag. If I find an error, I want to update the error_message and error_flag function. If I can get it works I will then modify the function to return to the table of PL/SQL instead of BOOLEAN
  

  FUNCTION validate_timecard (pTimeTable IN TTimeTable
                                               ) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
  
    lc_module            CONSTANT VARCHAR2(25)        := 'validate_timecard';
    lEmployeeCount    PLS_INTEGER;
    lEmployeeError     VARCHAR2(1000);
    lErrorCount          PLS_INTEGER :=0;
    
    BEGIN
  
       FOR i IN 1 .. NVL(pTimeTable.COUNT,0) LOOP                                   
                                           
       xxtzg_concurrent_utils_pkg.write_log(  p_package =>  gc_package
                                                              , p_module  =>  lc_module
                                                              , p_text    =>  'Processing timecard for employee_number: '||pTimeTable(1).employee_number
                                                             );               
     
       -- Call validations before submitting the timecard to the API
       --validate employee
  
          begin
             select count(*)
               into lEmployeeCount
               from per_all_people_f
              where employee_number = pTimeTable(1).employee_number;
              
              if lEmployeeCount = 0 then
              
              -- Set the errors
  
              -- This assignment below does not work, I get an error message saying...
              --[Error] PLS-00363 (137: 27): PLS-00363: expression 'PTIMETABLE.ERROR_MESSAGE' cannot be used as an assignment target
  
              PTimeTable(i).error_message :=  'Employee Number '||pTimeTable(1).employee_number||' is not a valid employee';
              PTimeTable(i).error_flag := 'Y';
  
              end if;
              
          end;    
          
       END LOOP; 
       
       IF lErrorCount = 0 THEN 
       RETURN TRUE;
       ELSE
       RETURN FALSE;
       END IF;
                                             
    END;

  Your table is declared as IN only (the default if you do not explicitly set it), so you are not allowed to change its attributes in all respects, IN = read-only.

  If you want to be able to modify the values of a parameter, it must be declared as OUT parameters.
