Nested table

When you create a table nested within a table, can I please have a description of what the STORE AS medium of instruction?

Here is an example:

NESTED TABLE, STORE LineItemList_ntab AS PoLine_ntab

I have had a look in the documentation, but cannot find the answer to this question.

Sound the segment of nested table name, 11 g, you can also have SECUREFICHIERS as for example you can thus encrypt, oracle doc said The Oracle database server stores data for the nested table offline from the lines of the parent table, using a table of store that is associated with the nested table column. The parent row contains a value to set unique identifier associated with a nested table instance. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/schema.htm#CHDFDBGH

    Hi user,

    Here is another method that you can try-

    CREATE OR REPLACE

    ABC of the PROCEDURE

    IS

    v_print countries_t: = countries_t (countries_o('01','A',11));

    BEGIN

    DBMS_OUTPUT. Put_line (v_print (1).) COUNTRY_ID | v_print (1). COUNTRY_NAME | v_print (1). REGION_ID); -you're accessinf the first element of the nested table, which in turn points to the object.

    END;

    In the sections of the declaration you have assigned values to the nested table.

    Kind regards

    Ah, I found the problem on my own. It was because of a bad statement similarly variable g_ws_data_compare_master_tt in a table in the specification of the package that was trouble. However I wonder the error returned Oracle was not fully exposed.

  • Compare the content of two equal nested tables

    I'm working on a black box test where I compare the contents of two structurally equal tables before and after executing a script of some. My two tables, MDQ_OLD and MDQ_NEW, are filled with the data in two separate operations.

    I have a question about the nested table. I am writing a code to change the data type for a column varchar2 to date without deleting the data.

    So I thought instead of creating the table or the TWG, I will fill these data in the collection and updating of this column as null. So I'll change the data type for this column and the data that is loaded inside the collection, I'll shoot back as it is.

    The collection is formed, the data are updated with the null value and data type of the column is updated as well. But when I'm trying to load the data in collection, it seems to be empty. Why is happening. ? Nested table depends on the statement commit?

    Please take a look at the code and suggest me something here.

    Your EXCEPTION WHILE others removes any possible EXCEPTOIN that is raised. You need to get rid of him. Or at least use RAISES at the end. And if you decide to use the collection then get the best out of him using treatment in BULK. Here is an example FORALL.

  • What is the preferred means of data transmission as a type of record between the nested table of pl/sql program or an associative array

    What is the preferred means of data transmission in the associative array of the nested table record vs

    Choose between Nested Tables and associative arrays

    The two nested tables and associative arrays (formerly index - by tables) use similar index notation, but they have different characteristics when it comes to persistence and ease of passing parameters.

    Nested tables can be stored in a column of data, but can of associative arrays. Nested tables can simplify the SQL operations where you would normally join a single-column table with a larger table.

    Associative arrays are appropriate for relatively small lookup tables where the collection can be constructed in memory whenever a procedure is called or a package is initialized. They are good for the collection of the information volume is unknown beforehand, because there is no fixed limit on their size. Their index values are more flexible, as associative array indices can be negative, can be no sequential and can use values of string instead of numbers.

    PL/SQL automatically converts between the bays of the host and the associative arrays that use values of digital keys. The most effective way to move the collections to and from the database server is to implement data values in associative arrays, and then use these associative arrays with erections in bulk (the FORALL statement or BULK COLLECT clause).

    With the help of documents and Collections of PL/SQL

  • Question about the nested Table

    I created a table nested in the database type.

    CREATE TYPE TT1 IS TABLE OF THE VARCHAR2 (100);

    If I use this collection in my procedure and fill it with values, these values are stored in the tablespace/data files or cache. I'm asking is because I want to fill the collection with a lot of documents and collections are stored in memory and the comprehensive data set will explode memory told me.

    You mention a procedure so I guess that we are talking about a nested table defined in and complemented by a PL/SQL block.  If so, these data are stored in the PGA.  You should be a good idea on the amount of data you have in the PL/SQL collections at any time in time, because the PGA memory is a relatively rare commodity.

    If we are talking of a nested table that corresponds to a column in a normal organized in a heap table, these data are stored in data files and read the SGA according to the needs as all data in a heap table.

  • How to get Nested table function

    Hi friends,

    In a package, I created a nested table type name Varchar2 EmployeeCodeList.

    Then, I created a function whose return type is EmployeeCodeList. But I don't get how to get the values of this function?

    TYPE EmployeeCodeList IS TABLE OF THE VARCHAR2 (30);

    FUNCTION GenerateRandomEcF (Ec_length NUMBER, NumberOfEmp NUMBER)

    < < the function code > >

    RETURN v_RandomEmpCodes;

    END GenerateRandomEcF;

    PROCEDURE GenerateEmpFile (NumberOfEmp NUMBER, Start_SN NUMBER, EmpValue NUMBER, VARCHAR2, VARCHAR2, Ec_length NUMBER EmpGroup HireDate) IS

    v_Filename VARCHAR2 (40);

    v_EmployeeCodes EmployeeCodeList;

    v_EmpBatchF UTL_FILE. TYPE_DE_FICHIER;

    BEGIN

    v_Filename: = 'EMPLOYEE_BATCH_ ' | TO_CHAR (SYSTIMESTAMP, 'YYYYMMDD_HHMISS'): '. DAT';

    v_EmployeeCodes: = EmployeeCodeList (NumberOfEmp);

    v_EmployeeCodes: = SELECT * FROM TABLE (GenerateRandomAcF (Ac_length, NumberOfVoucher));

    v_EmpBatchF: = UTL_FILE. FOPEN ('EXT_VOUCHER_DIR', v_Filename, 'W');

    IF UTL_FILE.IS_OPEN (v_EmpBatchF) THEN

    FOR i IN 1.NumberOfVoucher LOOP

    UTL_FILE. Put_line (v_EmpBatchF, v_EmployeeCodes (i) |) ',' || Start_SN + (i-1). «, » || EmpValue | «, » || HireDate. «, » || EmpGroup);

    END LOOP;

    END IF;

    END GenerateEmpFile;

    How the line highlighted code above must be written so that I can get value of function in a variable of the same type of nested table.

    If you use the second approach, I mean

    56 v_EmployeeCodes: = GenerateRandomAcF (Ac_length, NumberOfEmployee);

    then the collection must be initialized using the constructor method. Change line 33.48 as number below

    33 v_RandomEmployeeCodes EmployeeCodeList: = EmployeeCodeList();

    48 v_EmployeeCodes EmployeeCodeList: = EmployeeCodeList();

    This is because when you use BULK COLLECT, Oracle automatically populates the collection without initialization. But if you do not COLLECT in BULK, then the collection must be initialized before filling / extending. Otherwise, you will get error of REFERENCE to the COLLECTION that is not INITIALIZED. So this should be the code, you should use. When you do not select... INTO, you might well declare the function is private and it is not necessary to declare in the package specification.

    So the only purpose of the equivalent concept of SQL types of nested tables is to use one of the data types when you define an actual table?

    So-you can certainly use more that a simple "set an actual table. (I'm fairly certain that you can pass a table nested within a procedure, for example - try it, though - I'm not 100% sure on that - it just 'logic'.) If you can define a type, you can use it, pass it around, whatever.).

    And this nested table could be a record in SQL or object in PLSQL or simple data type (varchar number, etc.)?

    Nested tables are just like any other type of custom data. You can create a nested table of other types of data. You can create a custom of nested tables data type.
