• How to the return type of function from PL/SQL

  Hello
  
  I need to create a function that returns a list of ID, which is stored in a type T_IDs, something like:
  
  search function (searchstring in varchar2) return to T_IDs
  
  I have a little problem with the type within the body of the function using a select statement and filling
  
  Select the id of the table where the text as searchstring.
  
  which is to select a list of IDS corresponding to the where clause. Is it possible to use select in or should I go for another mechanism?
  
  Thanks for all the ideas.

  Bulk Collect works for me...

  SQL> create type t_ids as table of number;
    2  /

    5    bulk collect into ids
    6    from   emp

  However, I would rarely use such a data collection, as it fills with PGA in memory and passing a lot of data between SQL and PL/SQL. I must have a just cause and justified in wanting to do things this way.

• Cannot display the results to the database during "Update": SQL statement

  Hello

  I get this error trying to update a VO via the UI or BCBrowser.

• Graph based on the function of PL/SQL returning the sql query

  Hello, is it possible to have a chart based on PL/SQL return SQL function as with the reports.
  If I need to present data that is based on the graph and the graph itself, and the report is based on the function PL/SQL, SQL back then how I do the table if this is not possible? Also, is there a way to specify which columns in the report to use for the chart instead of having to specify the same question again on the list - this seems a bit redundant.

  Ah, OK - one HTML table does not offer the possibility of using the PL/SQL (I don't know why, if)

  However, you can create a collection (using the APEX_COLLECTION. Function CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY) from your vSQL of string and then basing the chart on that?

• Impossible to retrieve the return value of function from pl/sql using the DB adapter

• can we write the function in a select statement?

  I have function and there Out parameter, so in this case I can write a select statement to my function to retrieve the value?

  user11195165 wrote:

  Never mind that it's bad! for a function to have an OUT parameter. That's not how the functions should be designed and written.

  It's like with a knife like a spoon to eat porridge. Of course, it can work in a way. But why? A knife was never designed to be a spoon - and while it may work of porridge to eat, you'll have a hell of a time trying to use it to eat the soup. So, use the right tool.

  In other words, a function is the wrong tool for the job. Use a procedure.

• The analysis of a sql statement without executing it

  Hello everyone,

  Here we have the difficult task to analyze several sql scripts and send corrections to the development team and thirty third companies before applying them in our production databases. I am ready to create a program web/pl sql, making this difficult task, at least one program to identify errors such as lack of owner of the table, nonexistent tables, syntax errors and so on...

• Using a Bind Variable in the FROM of a SQL statement part?

  Hi all
  
  I have a problem, I am trying to execute a SQL statement. However, I need the FROM part of the SQL statement in a variable binding. This is because the end user will have to choose between 2 views of database.
  
  I tried this:
  Select CON_ID from: P23_DB_NAME where CON_LEGACY_ID =: P23_CONLEG_NO
  
  I had no chance. The error I got was,
  '+ The query cannot be parsed in the generator. If you believe that your request is
  syntactically correct, choose the generic "columns" box below the
  the source of the region without analysis.
  "ORA-00903: invalid table name +".
  What makes sence, but now I'm a little stuck.
  
  Does anyone have ideas for a workaround?
  
  Thanks in advance.
  -N.S.N.O.
  

  The example I gave you is quite simple. You must take some time to study it to see where you need to be very careful what put you where. Now, of course your example does not work becaues you have several errors. It will work for you:

  DECLARE
     x   VARCHAR2 (4000);
  BEGIN
     x := x || 'SELECT CON_ID FROM ';
     x := x || :p23_db_name;
     x := x || ' WHERE CON_LEGACY_ID = ' || :p23_conleg_no;
     RETURN (x);
  END;

• Under certain conditions, update a table based on the comparison with a SQL statement

  I have a table (table 1) that has 4 columns:
  
  UID. THE NEST | VALUE1 | VALUE2
  
  I have another statement SQL (STMT) that returns the 3 columns of a few other tables:
  
  UID. THE NEST | VALUE1
  
  Now this is the condition of the way in which I want to put up-to-date TABLE1:
  
  First, to compare a pair of UID and PID of STMT with those in TABLE1,
  
  -1, for any new pair UID and PID not in TABLE1, insert a new line of STMT in TABLE1 set TABLE1. Value2 = 0 (I already did this).
  
  2, for an existing UID and PID pair in STMT and TABLE1, do:
  
  a. in TABLE1. Value2 > 0, update TABLE1. VALUE1 = STMT. VALUE1
  
  b. to TABLE1. Value2 = 0 and if TABLE1. VALUE1! = STMT. Value1, update of TABLE1. VALUE1 = STMT. Value1, otherwise nothing to do.
  
  I can't seem to come with a solution for condition 2. Any help is appreciated!

  Hello

  Here's one way:

  MERGE INTO  table1  dst
  USING          (
               SELECT  ...   -- your stmt query goes here
           )   src
  ON         (    src.uid  = dst.uid
           AND      src.pid  = dst.pid
           )
  WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE
  SET           dst.value1 = CASE
                                 WHEN   dst.value2 > 0
                      OR     (   dst.value2 = 0
                           AND dst.calue1 != src.value1
                      )
                      THEN   src.value1
                             END
  WHERE   dst.value2 > 0
  OR (    dst.value2 = 0
     AND  dst.calue1 != src.value1
     )
  ;
  

  This assumes that the combination (uid, pid) is unique in stmt. It doesn't have to be unique in table1.

  sb92075 wrote:

  -1, for any new pair UID and PID not in TABLE1, insert a new line of STMT in TABLE1 set TABLE1. Value2 = 0 (I already did this).

  FUSION could also do parts 1 and 2 together, in the same statement.

  2, for an existing UID and PID pair in STMT and TABLE1, do:

  a. in TABLE1. Value2 > 0, update TABLE1. VALUE1 = STMT. VALUE1

  b. to TABLE1. Value2 = 0 and if TABLE1. VALUE1! = STMT. Value1, update of TABLE1. VALUE1 = STMT. Value1, otherwise nothing to do.

  Why are they not simply your needs ' uid and pid that already exist in stmt and table1, if table1.value2 > = 0, then the value table1.value1 = stmt.value1 "? Are you concerned about shooting triggers unnecessarily? It has something to do with null values? The MERGE statement above does exactly what you asked, but, depending on your needs, something simpler and more efficient could do it as well.

  I hope that answers your question.
  If not, post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.
  If you ask on a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the sample data will be the content of the or the tables before the DML, and the results will be the State of the or the tables changed when it's all over.
  Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
  Always tell what version of Oracle you are using.

• regexp_replace to remove the clause of a sql statement

  Select regexp_replace ("select Column1, Column2 in var1, var2 from table1, table2")
  where 1 = 1', '(into|) IN). * \w. (a |) (FROM)', null) double
  
  Returns

  Problem: I'm missing 'of' or 'FROM '.

  Summer experiences $' etc, but no dice. Clues?

  or you can try the following:

  select regexp_replace( '

  into var1,

  from table1,
       table2

  gives the following output

  select column1,
         /*+ into */ column2
  from table1,

  Even if you have strange line breaks it works

  select regexp_replace( '

         /*+ into */ column2 into var1,
       var2 from table1,
       table2

                         'from', 1, 1, 'i')
  from dual;
  

  gives

  select column1,
         /*+ into */ column2 from table1,
       table2
  where 1=1
  

  and

  select regexp_replace( 'select column1, /*+ into */ column2 into var1, var2 from table1, table2 where 1=1',
