  Can you post some examples of data? And the expected results?
  Looks like you can use a hierarchical query (START WITH... CONNECT BY), and that you do not have a Temp table (like I said before very rare in Oracle)

• get the structure of the event inside the while loop to wait for event occurs before the execution

  Hello

  I have a small problem, when I raise an event using a value change button, which works very well.  The problem is that the VI does not wait for me raise an event and instead runs the same event again, even if I have not pressed the button to start again.  The mechanical action of the button switch is released is.

  I was wondering how you get the structure of the event to wait for a user event, after that he executed the first time.

  James.Morris wrote:

  There is no reason that the event should be raised twice as much that the only way that it fires in your code is by the user by clicking on 'Hall measure only'.

  Oh yes, there is, and I deserve a kudo for this one.  Mechanical action on the button is set on the switch until published, so click to generate an event, on the bottom and on the square, attached is an example.

  My boy has my students hate this question, and to be honest, I hated it.  When never would you do that intentionally?  Honestly?  Anyway to change the button back to normal (as default latch when released) and move the terminal button in the structure of the event where it is managed and it will work as usual.

  There is no need to pack the column names in the TOP, the names of the objects are stored by default at the top of case. Isn't that quoted strings must be upper case, but yes, your last block is basically my second block and will correctly find the column already exists when it is executed a second time. Your original, with tiny strings cited would never return a line fomr the query on the column, so would attempt to add the column each time.

  SQL> select table_name, column_name
    2  from all_tab_columns

    4        table_name = 'table1' and

  See the difference?

  (I only did the drop table so that I can redo the pl/sql block from scratch to show that was) the first time he ran he added the column and b) for subsequent executions, he did not attempt to add the column because it exists, unlike your first display.

  However, scripts that add columns to tables should, in general, not be something that is executed repeatedly. More often by adding a column to a table would be part of a process of controlled upgrade, and most of the time, the fact that a 'new' column already exists in the database before the upgrade seems to indicate a problem with the upgrade process, and probably not something to be ignored in silent mode.

  Hello

  Variable declaration is declared between the two and start. Personally, I prefer the initialization of variables there.

  DECLARE

  plsql_block VARCHAR2 (40): = ' start create_dept (:,: b: c: d); end;';

  BEGIN

  ...

  You did not request this, but I'm telling you anyway

  I also use declare start the buildings inside the code to make the code more manageable, compact and clear (because I have a short memory, I need to see everything in one small scope at a time). Then, the blocks are easy enough to separate function or procedure if necessary.

  OPEN for SELECT OUT_REFCURSOR c.RCRD_NO, c.STE_NO_TX DE T_LYR_STES c, p of LAND WHERE c.case_id = IN_CASEID AND p.L_NUMBER > 100;

  LOOP

  Look FOR the OUT_REFCURSOR BULK COLLECT outtable;

  WHEN the outtable OUTPUT. COUNT = 0;

  FOR indx IN 1... outtable. COUNTY

  LOOP

  dbms_output.put_line (outtable (indx). ) RCRD_NO);

  END LOOP;

  END LOOP;

  CLOSE OUT_REFCURSOR;

  END SP_GETVALIDATE;

  I could be wrong here.

  any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  SEARCH OUT_REFCURSOR BULK COLLECT INTO outtable;

  You've had your BULK COLLECT and the wrong way around
