• The use of bind variables in dynamic query created for Ref Cursor

  Hello
  
  I'm in a situation where there is a Ref cursor to which the query is built execution based on a loop. This is why the number of links would be known until the program runs.
  The application is currently using literals instead of bind variables.
  
  code snippet of the above is
  strSql: = "select * from emp where 1 = 1 and ().
  
  loop cursor1
  If cond is true then
  strSql = strSql | "ename = ' |" Cursor1.ColumnName;
  end loop;
  
  Open cursor2 for strSql;
  
  How to use links in the example above.

  Here is the code I have my trying to change literal-based link to the base.

  What do you mean by "based bind?

  who, what, how determines the values to be 'bound '?

  He's referring to the coding style. He is currently using concatenated literal, and the goal is to change it to use the bindings.

  If I understand this it is known as method 4 dynamic SQL and requires DBMS_SQL. There are examples autour but they vary according to the type of statement being generated - SELECT statements require column lists to be parsed, unlike the INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE.

  This came up recently on my current project and I hit a demo. Here a table of names and values accepted procedure and had to build these in a single WHERE clause along the lines of

  AND t_names(i) = t_values(i)
  

  for an undetermined number of elements in the array. For this demonstration, I used a table that we called "attribute" (don't ask) which has columns including 'attribute_id' and 'name', and I need to build a query along the lines of

  select description from attribute where attribute_id = :b1 and name = :b2
  

  by the way '1012' and 'ISIN' respectively. (I use a table better and after a CREATE statement for her but I have to rush right now, sorry).

  declare
     k_sql_base        constant varchar2(500) := 'select description from attribute';
  
     t_names           constant varchar2_t := varchar2_t('attribute_id',  'name');
     t_values          constant varchar2_t := varchar2_t('1012',          'ISIN');

           end ||

     end loop;
  
     dbms_output.put_line('SQL statment = ' || l_sql); 
  
     -- Parse the statement we built above (the remaining steps require a parsed cursor):
     l_cursor_handle := dbms_sql.open_cursor;

• help how to extract the ref cursor in the table field

  Hello.
  
  
  I have a query similar to the following:

  select department_id, cursor (select employee_id from employees where department_id = d.department_id)
    from departments d

  Expecting to get several lines, I want this select this option to be in bulk sampled in a table variable nested (of another type of nested table) which is copied to an out parameter in a procedure. I have some doubts:
  1 should. what I create the column in the inner nested table that will keep the result of the ref cursor? Ref cursor colunm? A sort of column Adrien?
  2. If the column in the nested table inside that will keep the result of the ref cursor is another array, how can I write the result of the entire query in a single volume?
  
  (I want to bulk collect everything in a single query, I know how to do with pl/sql do not inflate but using two nested for loops, that's what I try to avoid).
  
  
  Thanks in advance.

  It would be simpler:

  declare
      type dep_emp_list_tbl_type
        is table of sys.OdciVarchar2List;
      v_dep_emp_list_tbl dep_emp_list_tbl_type;

  Oracle Forms/Reports has a complete PL/SQL engine and (only) the SQL parser.

  However, the engine of forms/States PL / SQL and SQL Analyzer are at a level that was in the Oracle 8.0 database.

  So, in the forms/States functions/procedures and forms/States triggers, you can not use SQL commands that did not exist in the 8.0 database.

  The predefined SYS_REFCURSOR type is introduced in Oracle 9i.

  Use this:

  PACKAGE test_rc IS

  TYPE of rc_type IS REF CURSOR RETURN emp % ROWTYPE;

  END;

  FUNCTION RETURN QR_1RefCurDS Test_rc.rc_type IS

  test_rc.rc_type RC;

  Not. There is no need of a type defined by the user (unless the definition of type strong ref Cursor - use that is questionable in PL/SQL). Use rather SYS_REFCURSOR .

  For example

  --// run in SQL*Plus
  
  --// define a bind variable
  var c refcursor
  
  declare
    myCursor sys_refcursor;

    --// create the ref cursor

• REF Cursor creating CSV files

  Hi guys
  
  I am writing a package to create several different CVS files of the database.
  I created a procedure for each files CVS to be created within the package.
  I set the cursor for each file to each intervention.
  Read slider and concatenate all the fields in a large chain of recording and write it to the file using the UTL_FILE utility.
  
  Is there a way I can create a common procedure and pass all other cases, file_name as a parameter and concatenate all the fields and records and write it to the file? I think the use of the REF cursor, but the problem is the cursor query is different for each file. Some files has 2 columns and some 200 columns.
  No idea how to make this work for any format?
  
  Your help will be very appreciated.

• Call a procedure stored via JDBC with a REF CURSOR * input variable.

  Hello
  
  S/n of my client has provided me with a stored procedure that I need to call to get information about products prices. Something along the lines of:
  
  some_package.getPrices (products IN OUT csr_type);
  
  where csr_type represents a REF CURSOR. This cursor has a product ID column and a price column. The plan is to move the cursor with the populated product id column and have the routine decorate the slider with the prices.
  
  The setting in this plan is that it seems that it is not possible to go from JDBC REF CURSOR in . However, I'm not sure, since I can only find throw comments on various forums (e.g. http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/35088/0/), without any reference. If I go back to the client and tell them that their idea will not work, I prefer to be able to point them to a documentation somewhere
  
  So I guess my questions are:
  
  1. it is indeed impossible to pass a REF CURSOR type as a variable input on JDBC to a stored procedure?
  
  2. is there information I can do about my client?
  
  3. am I on the right track thinking I need to go down the path of an array of objects?
  
  Thank you very much to anyone who can help
  Peter Svehla.

  Hi Peter,.

  I see it, missed that you actually want to pass in a list of products. Don't think that you can do this with the current procedure. A slider is just a pointer to a result set.
  How the result set is created and what it looks like, is determined when the cursor is opened.

  What does this procedure with the cursor? -It does not have some OPEN TO ; inside?

  Or, perhaps, you are supposed to send in an open cursor (does not much sense to me)?

  Concerning
  Peter

• Ref Cursor

  Hi guys,.

  You can develop the ref cursor please. I'm new to the plsql...

  Hi Alex,

  Introduction to the REF CURSOR

  With the help of REF CURSOR s is one of the most powerful, flexible and scalable means to return the query results to an Oracle database to a client application.

  A REF CURSOR is a PL/SQL data type whose value is the memory address of a workspace of query on the database. In essence, a REF CURSOR is a pointer or a handle to a game on the database of results. REF CURSOR s are represented by the OracleRefCursor class ODP.NET.

  REFCURSORs have the following characteristics:

  • A REF CURSOR refers to a memory on the database address. Therefore, the client must be connected to the database during the lifetime of the REF CURSOR to access.
  • A REF CURSOR involves a round-trip of additional database. While the REF CURSOR is returned to the customer, the actual data is not returned until the customer open it REF CURSOR and requests the data. Note that the data are not be retrieved until the user tries to read it.
  • A REF CURSOR is not editable. The result set represented by the REF CURSOR is read-only. You cannot update the database using a REF CURSOR .
  • A REF CURSOR is not back with scroll. The data represented by the REF CURSOR is only accessible in a way before and in series. You cannot position a record pointer inside the REF CURSOR to point to records in the result set.
  • A REF CURSOR is a PL/SQL data type. You create and return a REF CURSOR within a block of PL/SQL code.

  See this link which explained on cursor by Zerathul ref: PL/SQL 101: understanding Ref Cursor

  If the function returns the ref cursor is the only point of access that you have data then Yes, it probably is. If you have direct access to the underlying database objects and the function does not have something very complicated, then you are probably better off creating your own body of the function returning SQL query data source.

  Everything about the dynamics of ref Cursor now I divided in 2 layers, with a function for generating the dynamic SQL and another for bind parameters open the ref cursor. APEX apps can then reuse the functions of SQL query in function body return SQL query data sources (if you take a bit of care to keep the bind variable names vaguely APEX-point-friendly).

  Are there improvements in this area for the next APEX 5.0 and/or database Oracle 12 c?

  See this for the technical background on why APEX is not yet support ref Cursor and this for more information of the Oracle team on the possibility of future support. Obviously, he did not he in 4.1. I suspect that data REF CURSOR region sources depended on a minimum requirement of DB of the 11.1.0.6 (where was introduced support for the conversion of the REF CURSOR in the cursors DBMS_SQL). As minimum DB for APEX 5.0 version is 11.1.0.7, it would be a possible feature for 5.0, but it is not classified as one.

  Function taking as input ref cursor but throwing error exit

• PL/SQL - Call Out Ref Cursor returned by a stored procedure

  Hello

  I am creating a procedure where a Ref Cursor is defined as an OUT parameter, my question is how to shout that the Ref Cursor when I run for example here is how I want to call my EXEC sql command:

  EXEC film_not_in_stock (2,2,vcur);

  Here is the procedure:

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE film_not_in_stock (p_film_id in NUMBER, p_store_id number, vcur ON SYS_REFCURSOR)

  IS

  News sys_refcursor;

  v_cur inventory.inventory_id%TYPE--ou is the same type of column inventory_id

  v_cur sys_refcursor;

  BEGIN

  Heart OPEN to SELECT inventory_id

  INVENTORY

  WHERE film_id = p_film_id

  AND store_id = p_store_id

  AND inventory_id NOT IN (SELECT inventory_in_stock (inventory_id) FROM dual);

  News of FETCH in v_cur;

  OUTPUT WHEN heart % NOTFOUND;

  END;

  /

  I know there are typos in the procedure, you will appreciate if you can help me to put it right.

  Thank you very much!

  Tonya.

  In fact, based on your previous post, function inventory_in_stock returns 0 or 1. If so, there are:

  CREATE OR REPLACE

  PROCEDURE film_not_in_stock)

  p_film_id in NUMBERS

  p_store_id in NUMBERS

  p_cur ON SYS_REFCURSOR

  )

  IS

  News sys_refcursor;

  v_cur inventory.inventory_id%TYPE--ou is the same type of column inventory_id

  v_cur sys_refcursor;

  BEGIN

  OPEN p_cur

  FOR

  SELECT inventory_id

  INVENTORY

  WHERE film_id = p_film_id

  AND store_id = p_store_id

  AND inventory_in_stock (inventory_id) = 0;

  News of FETCH in v_cur;

  OUTPUT WHEN heart % NOTFOUND;

  END;
