Associative arrays
Quoting docs.oracle.com linesAssociative arrays are used to represent sets of data of arbitrary size, with quick search of an individual element without its position in the table and without
having to loop through all the elements in the array. Here is a small example
DECLARE
TYPE population_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX OF VARCHAR2 (64);
country_population population_type;
continent_population population_type;
howmany NUMBER;
that VARCHAR2 (64);
BEGIN
country_population ('Greenland'): = 100000; -Creates the entry
country_population ('Iceland'): = 750000; -Creates the entry
-Research associated with a value chain
howmany: = country_population ('Greenland');
continent_population ('Australia'): = 30000000;
continent_population ('Antarctica'): = 1000; -Creates the entry
continent_population ('Antarctica'): = 1001; -Replaces the previous value
-Returns "Antarctic" which comes first in alphabetical order.
who: = continent_population. FIRST;
-Returns "Australia", which comes last in the alphabetical order.
who: = continent_population. LAST;
-Returns the value corresponding to the last key, in this
-case of the Australia population.
howmany: = continent_population (continent_population. LAST);
END;
/
my doubt is in what regards the statement "with a quick search of an individual element without its position in the table".can someone give a small relevant example. Therefore the associative arrays is also appropriate for relatively small lookup tables where the collection can be constructed in memory eachtime, a procedure is called? Thanks in advance...

Think of it as gradually close equivalent to a hash of key/value pairs. When you want to insert an item provide you the key, Oracle axe key to find the entry in the hash table. It doesn't matter if the entry is the first, last, or any other arbitrary position in the table.

The scope of the variables of the procedure is only the duration of the procedure. They are built when the procedure is called and destroyed when the procedure ends.
If any associative array created in the procedure must be small to minimize the impact on the performance of the table fill. If the procedure performs complex calculations or ETL one record at a time, it is more efficient to get a value from the array instead of having to re - query a database table for him.
For example, for the United States, a list of 50 State and their full name abbreviations that can be stored in an associative array and procedure could extract the code of the State of a data element, and quickly find the name of the State of the table. It would be faster than executing a query on the database on a lookup table.

How to: compare 2 associative arrays element-by-element
After playing, I decided to go with the approach of the two sets of data of their own associative array. The code and the results of this are below. My question is the comparison.

Go until the whole is considered to be a match (in number of rows and values). If no match, take the exit.

What is the preferred means of data transmission in the associative array of the nested table record vs
Choose between Nested Tables and associative arrays
The two nested tables and associative arrays (formerly index - by tables) use similar index notation, but they have different characteristics when it comes to persistence and ease of passing parameters.
Nested tables can be stored in a column of data, but can of associative arrays. Nested tables can simplify the SQL operations where you would normally join a single-column table with a larger table.
Associative arrays are appropriate for relatively small lookup tables where the collection can be constructed in memory whenever a procedure is called or a package is initialized. They are good for the collection of the information volume is unknown beforehand, because there is no fixed limit on their size. Their index values are more flexible, as associative array indices can be negative, can be no sequential and can use values of string instead of numbers.
PL/SQL automatically converts between the bays of the host and the associative arrays that use values of digital keys. The most effective way to move the collections to and from the database server is to implement data values in associative arrays, and then use these associative arrays with erections in bulk (the
FORALL
statement orBULK
COLLECT
clause).With the help of documents and Collections of PL/SQL

Associative array as a type of database

Non - associative arrays are a function of PL/SQL.
See table 5-1 in the doc of the PL/SQL language for a description of each type of collection and where (pl/sql, sql, etc.) they can be used.

Claudy,
While calling the procedure, you must declare the variable of type table. Give the values for the elements in the begin block and then pass that variable in the procedure. Something like below:
Declare
in_array PKG_CMT_DAP. r_supply_type_id;
Begin
in_array (1) .supply_type_id: = 100;
in_array (2) .supply_type_id: = 200;
in_array (3) .supply_type_id: = 300;
test_prc (in_array);
end;
NOTE: There might be a few problems with my code syntax, but logic would be same.
Try this and let me know.
Thank you

Associative array of index files by varchar2 - PLS 00382
I have a SQL anonymous block that creates a report. At the end of each section, I need to summarize the data by "renting". The list of locations is finished (approx. 15 in a table) and not all sections will have data for each location, but I want the locations to order the same so I thought I'd use an associative array to store summary data. But when I try to initialize the associative array (I simply put the slots in the array in the "correct" order) I receive PLS-00382 expression is of the wrong type.
Here is the code (the lines where the error occurs are in bold):
TYPE summary_data () IS RENDERING
Summary1 NUMBER,
NUMBER of summary2
NUMBER of summary3
);
Summ_arr TYPE IS TABLE of summary_data INDEX OF VARCHAR2 (5);
location_summary summ_arr;
aLoc VARCHAR2 (5);

aSummArr.Delete;
BEGIN

LOOP

aSummArr (aLoc) .summary_2: = 0;
aSummArr (aLoc) .summary_3: = 0;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
-exception handling
END;
END;
If this is not allowed, or I do something wrong? I tried substituting:
Summ_arr TYPE IS TABLE of summary_data INDEX OF VARCHAR2 (5);
with
Summ_arr TYPE IS TABLE of summary_data INDEX table.key%TYPE;
Nothing helps.
Thanks in advance for your help with this.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGALOC is a record variable. You need to refrence the column in the file said. So, something like this:
aSummArr(aLoc.name).summary_1 := 0;

Check if a value is in an associative array?
Hello
I am writing a process to plug into an existing infrastructure. I have an associative array of data (that I can't change the definition of) which is defined as:
type vc_arr2 is table of the varchar2 (32767) index directory.
An example of a data set can be:
Now I need to be able to see information indicating if a specific text value appears in the values, that is to say "is"Bananas"in the table? Now of course I could do it by writing a procedure loop over all the elements in order but there at - it do something built that? There are the obvious overhead (potentially) to loop through each element for each item, I'm looking for - I hope that there is something built in which more effective (IE, 'index' values or something like that).Key Text 1 => Apple 2 => Banana 3 => Pear 4 => Plum 5 => Grape etc etc
As far as I know, ARRAY. Exists() works on the key and not the value, and MEMBER OF cannot be used with associative arrays.
I'm not interested in what the key is for a given value (and I realize, it may be more than one key mapping to a given value), all I want is just if the element exists in the table.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!No, you will need to loop through each of them, as your index finger is not on the text.
No reason to use an associative array in the first place? Why not use database and SQL tables? Oracle is good at those. ;)

Using not PL/SQL and bays of PL/SQL at all - just using simple native SQL.
Before bulk collection and construction of an associative array, for the use of the values in table for future SQL operations, I rather to store the collection of values in a TWG (global temporary table) instead. A TWG can be indexed - and can thus provide much better access to the data as an associative array. He played better. It can be used via SQL, native mode.
The best place for the data is in the database. Not in the PL/SQL layer. This means that in SQL tables and not in PL/SQL tables or collections.
There are very few situations in PL/SQL, which require the use of associative arrays. If few, the majority of the PL/SQL code using associative arrays, IMO do badly. And what you've posted so far, I do not see a specific requirement for associative arrays.
So be sure you use the correct feature - and make sure that it is also well put to use in your code.
PS. HESH is a strange name. I'm used to HESH meaning High Explosive Squash Head (used for the filming of shielding). :-)

What is the difference between associative arrays and nested tables?
Hello
What is the difference between associative arrays and nested tables?
nested tables cannot be indexed by other than pls_integer and unlike nested tables table associative cananot be declared at the schema level.
is there any other difference set apart from the diff above 2?user13710379 wrote:
What is the difference between associative arrays and nested tables?Name-value pairs (associative) against a list of values (table standard/nested table).
nested tables cannot be indexed by other than pls_integer
They are not "indexed" the way in which an associative array is indexed. A standard table is referenced by the position of the cell in the table. This position is essentially the offset of the memory of the cell from the start address of the table.
Can not solve a cell in an associative array directly via a memory offset index. You place a cell reference value it by his 'name' (a search in the linked list/hash table).
The following example shows the difference between the pairs of name / value and a list of core values.

My requirement:

2. then, I need to compare these two cusrsor account number and fill out a folder or a collection, if the two account numbers are the same.This must be done using SQL. Not the tables or collections or associative arrays.
SQL is the MOST powerful language, that you have in the Oracle RDBMS. It is faster than PL/SQL, when it comes to crunch data. It is more scalable.
So why then pull data SQL in PL/SQL (expensive) memory? And then shoot some more SQL data in memory of PL/SQL (expensive)? And then use PL/SQL loop processing to compare the two sets of data?
SQL can do that very quickly and very efficiently - as it was designed for this specific purpose.
See the JOIN, INTERSECT , and LESS SQL operations to compare data sets.
