• How to run execute immediate with variables

  Hi friends,
  How to run execute immediate with variables in v_stmt below?
  I don't know how to declare value I have here.
  

  Set serveroutput on;
  DECLARE
     i        VARCHAR (20);
     v_stmt   VARCHAR2 (100);
  
     CURSOR c
     IS
        SELECT sqlid FROM temp1;
  
  
  BEGIN
     OPEN c;
  
     LOOP
        FETCH c INTO i;
        EXIT WHEN c%NOTFOUND;
        DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (i);
        v_stmt := 'select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('&i',null))'
        execute immediate v_stmt;
     END LOOP;
  
     CLOSE c;
  END;
  /

  Regds,
  Kunwar.

  You must first use a variable binding (named ': v' in the SQL statement in my example):

  set serveroutput on;
  DECLARE
     i        VARCHAR (20);
     v_stmt   VARCHAR2 (100);
  
     CURSOR c
     IS
         -- modified for a quick test
        SELECT sql_id FROM v$sql where child_number > 2;
  
  BEGIN
     OPEN c;
  
     LOOP
        FETCH c INTO i;
        EXIT WHEN c%NOTFOUND;
        DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (i);
        v_stmt := 'select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(:v,null))';
        execute immediate v_stmt using i;
     END LOOP;
  
     CLOSE c;
  END;
  /
  

  However because your SELECT statement returns multiple lines, you need to adapt your code to process all rows returned (as already suggested in first response to your message).

  Instead of using the PL/SQL, I recommend you to generate a SQL file using only SQL, and then run the generated SQL file.
  For example:

  spool edx.sql
  set serveroutput on
  declare
  v_stmt varchar2(100);
  v_q char(1):='''';
  begin
  dbms_output.put_line('spool edx.log');
  for s in (select sql_id from v$sql where child_number >2)
   loop
    dbms_output.put_line('select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(' || v_q || s.sql_id || v_q || ',null));');
   end loop;
   dbms_output.put_line('exit');
  end;
  /
  spool of
  

  This generates a file similar to:

  spool edx.log
  select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('5rygsj4dbw6jt',null));
  select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('5rygsj4dbw6jt',null));

• Execute Immediate with DOF and TABLE() - error ORA-22905

  Hello

  I have a problem trying to use a user defined the Type of the Table in a statement Execute Immediate containing a CREATE TABLE statement.

  Is there no work around for this problem?

  The actual code for the SELECT * OF TABLE(:T) is dynamic and slow. That's why I try to avoid to create/fill the table in two steps (as does with MY_TABLE1). Also, in this case, I can't use SELECT * but must specify all the columns (amount variable and over 100 columns).

  CREATE TYPE MY_TABLE_TYPE AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(30);
  /
  DECLARE
      MT MY_TABLE_TYPE;
  BEGIN
      SELECT * BULK COLLECT INTO MT FROM DUAL;
      -- Two steps
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE MY_TABLE1 (A VARCHAR2(30))';
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO  MY_TABLE1    SELECT * FROM TABLE(:T)' USING MT; -- OK
      -- One step
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE MY_TABLE2 AS SELECT * FROM TABLE(:T)' USING MT; -- ERROR ORA-22905   
  END;

  In my view, the error message is incorrect or the less misleading. Bind variables cannot be used in DDL:

  SQL > declare
  2 number of v_var: = 99;
  3. start
  4 run immediately "' create the my_table2 in select table: double T" using v_var; "
  5 end;
  6.
  declare
  *
  ERROR on line 1:
  ORA-01027: bind variable not allowed for data definition operations
  ORA-06512: at line 4 level

  What you could do is use the package variable:

  SQL > CREATE OR REPLACE

  3 EAST
  4 MT MY_TABLE_TYPE;
  5 FUNCTION GET_MT
  6 RETURN MY_TABLE_TYPE;

• use of execute immediate with variables

  Hello

  I want to update a table with immediate execution, but I need to use the variable to run immediately. I typed a code, but the code below does not work and I m getting the error ORA-00936. Something wrong with this code?

  WHILE v_acu_payment_amount > 0

  LOOP

  BEGIN

  SELECT emplid, amount_past_due

  IN v_emplid, v_vade_tutari

  OF vade_temp

  WHERE the sira = v_sirano AND emplid IN (r1.emplid);

  END;

  v_acu_payment_amount: = v_acu_payment_amount - v_vade_tutari;

  Dbms_output.put_line ('paymentamount2' | v_acu_payment_amount);

  IF v_acu_payment_amount > 0

  THEN

  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "update vade_temp set AMOUNT_PAST_DUE = to_number('||) 0

  || ') where sira = to_number (')

  || v_sirano

  || ')';

  ON THE OTHER

  Temp: = v_acu_payment_amount * (-1);

  Dbms_output.put_line (temp);

  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "update vade_temp set AMOUNT_PAST_DUE = to_number (')"

  || Temp

  || ') where sira = to_number (')

  || v_sirano

  || ')';

  END IF;

  COMMIT;

  v_sirano: = v_sirano + 1;

  END LOOP;

  Kind regards

  Gunce

  In addition, you have no dynamic SQL for this

  [code]

  WHILE v_acu_payment_amount > 0

  LOOP

  BEGIN

  SELECT emplid, amount_past_due

  IN v_emplid, v_vade_tutari

  OF vade_temp

  WHERE the sira = v_sirano AND emplid IN (r1.emplid);

  END;

  v_acu_payment_amount: = v_acu_payment_amount - v_vade_tutari;

  Dbms_output.put_line ('paymentamount2' | v_acu_payment_amount);

  IF v_acu_payment_amount > 0

  THEN

  UPDATE vade_temp

  SET amount_past_due = 0

  WHERE the sira = v_sirano;

  ON THE OTHER

  Temp: = v_acu_payment_amount * (-1);

  Dbms_output.put_line (temp);

  UPDATE vade_temp

  SET AMOUNT_PAST_DUE = temp

  where sira = v_sirano;

  END IF;

  COMMIT;

  v_sirano: = v_sirano + 1;

  END LOOP;

  [/ code]

  But if you need dynamic sql statements, then you should use bind variables as

  ...

  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "UPDATE vade_temp SET amount_past_due =: b1 WHERE sira =: b2' using 0, v_sirano;"

  ...

• Use of EXECUTE IMMEDIATE with XML

  Hi all
  
  I have an xml that is stored in a table, xmltype column.
  I target insert tables including column names and xml nodes are the same.
  using the table of all_tab_columns I will generate columns must be passed to xmltable.
  all these data, I'll store them in variables and finally proceed to xmltable as below
  I just want to know using execute immediate is good to use XML?

  Hi Ruby,

  I just want to know using execute immediate is good to use XML?

  Sorry, but this question does not make much sense.
  Whether or not dynamic SQL means XML is not relevant, the statement will end up as a cursor in the shared pool independently and be executed or retrieved as any other.

  If I were you, I'd be worried on the statement do not use bind variables, or the need for dynamic SQL in the first place.

  Why should you use dynamic SQL?
  If it's laziness, because there are a lot of columns to write down, then it is a bad reason.

  Thank you

  Hello

  a few notes.

  1. to_date(t2.time_id,'dd-mon-yyyy')

  New York T2.Time_ID Cis the varchar2 data type that contains values to JJ-me-YYYY format?

  And if, in which language is used for the names of the months? Conversions are point impossible to solve in reasonable time limits without logging of dml errors and unique failure on charges of staging nightly!

  
  2 single quote escaping "alternative in string literals.

  You can use Q or q to escape single quotes in strings.

  http://docs.Oracle.com/database/121/SQLRF/sql_elements003.htm#SQLRF00218

  3. validation

  Not required because the DDL commands commit implied.

  In general I recommend you write commit clauses only in calling script rather than in the code unless it connects with an autonomous transaction.

  You end up with a lot of validation of code here and there and you don't know where it is and where it isn't. That is, your process may have more than one appeal process and commit the middle of the process, it is not atomic processes.

  Here's the demo although I recommend also using the static table and truncate to efficiency. ETG is good choice for the purpose of maintenance table.

• FORALL with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

  Hi all
  
  I'm using Oracle 11 g Release2.
  
  I need to use the forall with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement and the content of string inside EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is a SELECT instead of the usual DML statement.
  
  Objective: In this SELECT statement, I'll be passing of data using the "USING" clause in FORALL statement
  
  When I try to use it, am getting error found "no DATA".
  
  Please advice if I use FORALL and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE on a SELECT statement?
  
  I can share the scenario...
  
  Thank you!

• Problem with bind in Execute Immediate

  Hi all
  
  Scenario 1:
  It works very well.

  DECLARE
    V VARCHAR2(20) := ':X';
    X VARCHAR2(20) := 'Hello World';
    RES VARCHAR2(20);
    QRY VARCHAR2(100);
  BEGIN
    QRY := 'SELECT '||V||' FROM DUAL';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE QRY INTO RES USING X;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(RES);
  END;

  Scenario 2:

  DECLARE
    V VARCHAR2(20) := 'X';
    X VARCHAR2(20) := 'Hello World';
    RES VARCHAR2(20);
    QRY VARCHAR2(100);
  BEGIN
    QRY := 'SELECT '||V||' FROM DUAL';
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE QRY INTO RES USING X;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(RES);
  END;
  
  Error:
  X invalid identifier. 

  Necessary 'X' as the output.
  
  I could do to make it works very well for both scenarios with small changes in the code?

  My code can't handle scenario 2.

  You can change to sth as follows:

  I want the two statement to execute at a time, but I don't want to use any loop as well.
  
  Thanks in advance

  You can use:

  execute immediate 'begin update employee set ename='jagadeesh' where eno=123; update dept set dname='IT' where dno=345; end;';
  

  Although updates will always run one after the other.

  If you want the simultaneous treatment, then you need to use DBMS_JOB and DBMS_SCHEDULER to plan both work to run to run each of the statements independently.

• ORA-01031 on create sequence with Execute Immediate

  I have the following statement in a procedure:

  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
    ' CREATE SEQUENCE my_seq
      INCREMENT BY 1
      START WITH 130224
      NOMINVALUE
      NOMAXVALUE
      NOCYCLE
      NOCACHE';

  When the statement is executed, I get an ORA-01031: insufficient privileges error.
  
  I can run the CREATE statement in sqlplus. The schema from which I executed the CREATE statement is the same as that under which the procedure is run. In addition, the procedure is also created in the same schema.
  
  What a privilege I'm missing?

  Your privilege CREATE SEQUENCE given to you through a role.

  Roles are not considered in the stored procedures, you must have the privilege granted directly to your user name.

• Need help with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

  I'm tring to issue an EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to create a DIRECTORY. My problem is that I'm in the "'... ''...'' '...'' ' mess!

  Thank you!

  I wonder why people do not use q' syntax. It was introduced in 10g

     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE q'#CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY DATA_HUB_#' || source_instance || q'# AS '/mnt/smb/share/Staging/DataHub/#' || source_instance || q'#'#';

• EXECUTE IMMEDIATE or DBMS_UTILITY. EXEC_DDL_STATEMENT

  Hello
  
  I recently became aware of DBMS_UTILITY. EXEC_DDL_STATEMENT and I was wondering if it works in pretty much the same way as EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. I'm guessing that EXECUtE IMMEDIATE offers more flexibility when putting together the command you want to run, but you are the only real difference? All opinions accepted with gratitude,
  
  Kind regards
  
  Kevin.

  This isn't an exact answer to your question, but it may be useful.

  Execute Immediate is the approach privileged 9i or higher. If you decide which to use, go with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. You never know when the other dynamic SQL methods will be deprecated. In addition, EXECUTE IMMEDIATE has also been optimized (and will continue to be optimized), so you can usually expect better performance during use.

  The exact differences between EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and DBMS_UTILITY. EXEC_DDL_STATEMENT go, I can't give you an exact answer. (Also the fact that DBMS_UTILITY. EXEC_DDL_STATEMENT DDL is, of course).

  You may or may not find this article helpful: http://okjsp.pe.kr/seq/9789. He did a good job to compare the differences between EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and another way inherited to the dynamic SQL statements (DBMS_SQL. RUN)

• Maximum size of EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

  Hellou everyone,

  I would like to ask if there is a way how to run the dynamic SQL CREATE or VIEW of REPLACE command more than 32 KB of wholesale. Because the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement can run up to 32 k (greater length of variable plsql chain) chain

  Is there a way how children Ridge or replace the command?

  Or I need to revrite using DBMS_SQL.

  Thank you.

  (a) WHY? If you want to dynamically create views?  This is not recommended because your application/database should be designed at the time of the design, not running.

  (b) If you are on 11 g, you can use the CLOB datatype with immediate execution, so there is no 32 K limit.

  (c) If you are before 11 g you need to update, but if you can't then the following example is how you do it using DBMS_SQL.

  SQL > declare

  2 v_large_sql clob.

  3 v_num number: = 0;

  number of v_upperbound 4;

  5 v_sql dbms_sql.varchar2s;

  6 whole v_cur;

  number of v_ret 7;

  8 v_join_sql varchar2 (100): = ' crΘer view vw_tmp as ";

  9 start

  10. build a very big SQL statement in the CLOB

  11 loop

  12 v_large_sql: = v_large_sql | v_join_sql | "select" the number of this line is: ' | TO_CHAR (v_num, 'fm0999999') | " "as col1 from dual;"

  13 v_join_sql: = "union all";

  14 v_num: = v_num + 1;

  15 exit when dbms_lob.getlength (v_large_sql) > 40000 or v_num > 800;

  16 end loop;

  17 dbms_output.put_line (' length :'||) DBMS_LOB. GetLength (v_large_sql));

  18 dbms_output.put_line ('Num :'|| v_num);

  19-

  20. now divide this big SQL statement into pieces of 256 characters and put in table VARCHAR2S

  21 v_upperbound: = ceil ((v_large_sql) dbms_lob.getlength / 256);

  22 because me at 1.v_upperbound

  23 loop

  24 v_sql (i): = dbms_lob.substr (v_large_sql

  25, 256 - amount

  26, ((i-1) * 256) + 1 - offset

  27                                 );

  28 end of loop;

  29-

  30. now analyze and execute the SQL statement

  31 v_cur: = dbms_sql.open_cursor;

  32 dbms_sql.parse (v_cur, v_sql, 1, v_upperbound, dbms_sql.native, false);

  33 v_ret: = dbms_sql.execute (v_cur);

  34 dbms_output.put_line ("' view created");

  35 dbms_sql.close_cursor (v_cur);

  36 end;

• Create a temporary table using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

  Hello

  I need to create a report more complex which must have three different queries. I use a determined IF clause that the query that uses the report, according to the parameters.

  I want to write the output to a csv file, so I created a PROCEDURE.

  The first package of the procedure has the three SQL and the IF clause in order to determine the query that the report uses and stores the query code in a variable (v_sql), which is passed to the PROCEDURE that needs to write to the output of the report.

  I tried to create a table with data from the request in order to make a LOOP and exit, something like this:

  WRITE_FILE (errBUFF of the PROCEDURE	OUT VARCHAR2,
  	retCODE	OUT VARCHAR2,
  	v_sql	IN VARCHAR2)

  IS

  Contor

  NUMBER;

  BEGIN

  	EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql;
  	SLIDE G
  	IS
  	Select * from XXROR_REG_MF_TBL;
  	--
  	-initialization
  	--
  	retCode: = 0;
  	errBUFF: = NULL;
  	Contor: = 0;

  	--
  	-cursor
  	--

  	FOR X IN G
  	LOOP
  	APPS. FND_FILE.
  	PUT_LINE)
  	APPS. FND_FILE. OUTPUT,
  	....)

  I should mention that v_sql is something like:

  CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE ACEs (SELECT * of the double);

  I can't really do that, so I was wondering if you have any suggestions

  Thank you

  Claudiu

  Hello

  I don't think you need a table at all. You can set the cursor based on the SQL passed as parameter
