Element in the pl/sql table

Hi all

I have an array of integers that contains thousands of values such as 100,200,300,400,5000.

Now, I want to know whether the table contains the value of 377. What should be my corner.

There is doesn't work here because it only works with the item number. Here, I have only the content.

Concerning

Types can be defined in SQL and PL/SQL. The collections based on the SQL types can be used in SQL statements.

set serveroutput on

  lt_nums sys.odcinumberlist := sys.odcinumberlist(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99);
  l_result number;
begin
  select count(*) into l_result
  from table(lt_nums)
  where column_value = 55;
  dbms_output.put_line('Number of found occurences = ' || l_result);
end;

Insert rows in the PL/SQl table
Hello
I have a PL/SQl table that I filled through bulk collect and now I'm trying to loop through the table (actually quite a few nested loops)... Now in one of my curls, I might need to insert a new row by splitting the field in the existing row in the table. Can I insert the line in the pl/sql table in the loop without affecting the "FOR i IN tab.first... Tab.Last' loop?
Also, what would be the index of such a line inserted into the table. Can I access it with tab.last + 1 (doesn't look like it can be done if I insert into various levels of loops).
OR
If I insert the lines insde loops nested, then I can access the new lines as soon as I close all the loops and open a new loop? The new lines will be at the last table.

Any help will be appreciated...
The expression v_arr. LAST gives the index of the last entry, so you can refer to this element as
```
v_arr(v_arr.LAST)
```
Then the attributes of this element will be
```
v_arr(v_arr.LAST).attr
```
for example
```
DECLARE
    TYPE table_defs_tt IS TABLE OF user_tables%ROWTYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
    v_mytables table_defs_tt;
BEGIN
    SELECT * BULK COLLECT INTO v_mytables
    FROM   user_tables
    WHERE  ROWNUM <= 100;

    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_mytables(v_mytables.LAST).table_name);

How to remove duplicates from the PL - SQL table?

Hi gurus,

I have a PL - SQL table with the following structure
Authors (SR_NO, Auth_Code, Change_Date, cost)

This table is filled using a slider. However, this table can have a few lines in double (for column (Auth_Code)
for example

SR_NO      Auth_Code       Change_Date                       Cost
1               A1             14-FEB-09 08.18.47 AM          11.00
2               A2             14-FEB-09 08.18.56 AM       2839.00
3               A1             15-FEB-09 08.00.02 AM      1299.00
4               A1             15-FEB-09 07.00.00 AM        789.00
5               A3             14-FEB-09 08.18.56 AM        312.00
6               A4             14-FEB-09 08.19.02 AM        233.00

I need to get the above result set select the separate lines of Auth_Code including the Change_Date is maximum (and store in another PL - SQL table for treatment later or even the removal of this table will be also!)

of the data A1 is duplicated and a maximum Change_Date above = 15 February 09 08.00.02 AM.
Where my PL - SQL Table that results must have given below

SR_NO      Auth_Code       Change_Date                       Cost
2               A2             14-FEB-09 08.18.56 AM       2839.00
3               A1             15-FEB-09 08.00.02 AM      1299.00
5               A3             14-FEB-09 08.18.56 AM        312.00
6               A4             14-FEB-09 08.19.02 AM        233.00

I'm not very aware of the PL - SQL tables and there is no chance to change the existing cursor that fills the data in this table PL - SQL.
I guess that I need to compare each record of PL - SQL table with others, but do not know how to do this.

Could you please help?

Select DataSet from the pl/sql table

Hi Experts,
I need to create a metric of OEM 12 c extensions. I must create a pl/sql code that can return results to OEM.
The following code works in OEM. But the problem is that I need to create a permanent table for this case.
Could you please tell any other option available to do this without creating additional objects at the database level?
Based on the requirement of the OEM, the end of the script, I have to do something like ' open: 1 to select in the <>' to return the results in a table.

Thanks for the help!
Alex

Here's what you do:

-First create a report using the form on your Contact Table

-Then to create a new zone titled customer info

-Drag the items only display different columns in the Customer table in the new region

-Finally create a header of process before making

Select cust_name, cust_address

in: P1_CUST_NAME,: P1_CUST_ADDRESS

of customer_table

where id =: P1_CUSTOMER_ID;

-Put a condition on the process draw only when you have a: P1_CUSTOMER_ID

Note: your table, the columns may be a little different than the example above.

Hope that helps,

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_ Column2;
column3_ Column3;
ins_idx_ NUMBER;
BEGIN
ins_idx_: = 1;
NESTED LOOPS
column1_ (ins_idx_): = value1;
column2_ (ins_idx_): = value2;
column3_ (ins_idx_): = value3;
ins_idx_: = ins_idx_ + 1;
END LOOP;

FORALL idx_ in 1.column1_. COUNTY
INSERT
IN n_part_cost_bucket_tab)
Column1,
Column2,
Column3)

column2_ (idx_),

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.

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;
  7  /
 v1 := NULL;

PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
ORA-06550: line 5, column 2:

SQL> 
```
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;

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;

PTimeTable(i).error_message :=  'Employee Number '||pTimeTable(1).employee_number||' is not a valid employee';
PTimeTable(i).error_flag := 'Y';

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.

the collection of table support
Hi, I'm trying to create a slideshow with the RSS feeds from flickr. I use a component datagrid to store the images (because of the effects of transition when I add or remove an item from the dataProvider.) I can go through the images very efficiently by simply removing the first element in the collection of table, but then I get to the end and of course the slideshow is none because I deleted everything. is there an easy way for me to just take the first object in the collection of table and move it to the end? I tried photoFeed.setItemAt (object, int); but I don't know how to call on the first object in the collection of table. also, for the int variable I try to use photoFeed.length because I want it move to the end of the array whose length should be the correct number from the beginning of indexation of array to 0.
Although I can't understand the requirement of moving an item at the end of a slide show, you can use

var point: Object = photoFeed.removeItemAt (0);
photoFeed.addItem (item);

to achieve what you want.

If you just want to browse the pictures one by one until the end, you just need to use the createCursor API and get a cursor. By calling moveNext on the slider, you move through the collection until moveNext returns false.

PL/SQL table
Hi all!

What is the PL/SQL table and why use us it?

Help me.
Hello

A PL/SQL table is a table that exists only in PL/SQL blocks. It could be used to create one or more dimension tables in memory, but it has no direct relationship with Oracle Forms.
Try Google on it and you will find many interesting links.
