• ORA-00904 on CREATE TABLE with a virtual column based on the XMLTYPE content

  Hello
  
  This is another one for the gurus of the syntax...
  
  Try the following, fails with ORA-00904: "MESSAGE". "' GETROOTELEMENT": invalid identifier

  CREATE TABLE XML_TEST_VIRT
    (
     MSG_TYPE         GENERATED ALWAYS AS (MESSAGE.GETROOTELEMENT()) VIRTUAL,
     MESSAGE  XMLTYPE             NOT     NULL,
     IE906    XMLTYPE             DEFAULT NULL
    )
     XMLTYPE COLUMN MESSAGE STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML
     XMLTYPE COLUMN IE906   STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML
  /

  While it succeeds

  CREATE TABLE XML_TEST_VIRT
    (
     MSG_TYPE         GENERATED ALWAYS AS (EXTRACT(MESSAGE, '/*').GETROOTELEMENT()) VIRTUAL,
     MESSAGE  XMLTYPE             NOT     NULL,
     IE906    XMLTYPE             DEFAULT NULL
    )
     XMLTYPE COLUMN MESSAGE STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML
     XMLTYPE COLUMN IE906   STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML
  /

  The GETROOTELEMENT from SYS member function. XMLTYPE is stated as "PARALLEL_ENABLE DETERMINISTIC" the method called is not the problem, as evidenced by the 2nd case.
  Using the MESSAGE column that is of type XMLTYPE directly seems to be the problem. But the question is "why." The result of the EXTRACT function is of type XMLTYPE and call his works of members, the column is also of type XMLTYPE still call its members fails...
  
  Thanks in advance for any ideas on that.
  
  Best regards

  Get the error on tahiti, I realized this must be a common problem and is described in Metaclunk.
  So in Metaclunk I get "ora-02304 imp' and came up with 1066139.6 ML.
  It describes your situation.
  So many times, it is very easy to solve your problems in a few minutes. I always wonder why people walk immediately into shock and horror and nothing to do when they hit a mistake.

  Hello

  You will need to use an anonymous block to build the table and call the procedure.
  For example:

  DECLARE 
  
   npi_nt provider_npi_nt;
  
  BEGIN
  
   npi_nt := provider_npi_nt(
                provider_npi_typ('A', 'some text',
                   provider_identifier_nt(
                      provider_identifier_typ('ID-A1','Type1'),
                      provider_identifier_typ('ID-A2','Type2')

                   )

   SP_DL_INS_STG_TAB_NPI(npi_nt);

  Here, I created the object of each manufacturer of nesting. As you can see, it can quickly become a process of 'painful '.
  On the contrary, if your data is in the database tables, the table can be built more easily with a single query.

• Problem using the list separated by commas with nested table element

  Hello
  
  I have a list separated by commas like this:

  H23004,H24005,T7231,T8231,T9231

  And want to create a function that creates a where clause clause for each element with an output like this:

  UPPER('H23004') IN (UPPER(charge))
  OR UPPER('H23005') IN (UPPER(charge))
  OR UPPER('T7231') IN (UPPER(charge))
  OR UPPER('T8231') IN (UPPER(charge))
  OR UPPER('T9231') IN (UPPER(charge))

  Here's my test function that is not working properly:

  create or replace function FNC_LIST_TO_WHERE_CLAUSE(v_list in VARCHAR2) return varchar2 is
   -- declaration of list type
   TYPE batch_type IS TABLE OF pr_stamm.charge%TYPE;
   -- variable for Batches
   v_batch batch_type := batch_type('''' || replace(v_list,',',''',''') || '''');
   return_script varchar2(1000);
  
   BEGIN
   -- loop as long as there are objects left
   FOR i IN v_batch.FIRST .. v_batch.LAST
   LOOP
     --DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(offices(i));
     -- create where clause
     IF i = 1 THEN
       return_script := 'UPPER(' || v_batch(i) || ') IN (UPPER(charge))';
     ELSE
       return_script := return_script || ' OR UPPER(' || v_batch(i) || ') IN (UPPER(charge))';
     END IF;
   END LOOP;
  
   return (return_script);
   end;

  The out put looks like this:

  UPPER('H23004','H24005','T7231','T8231','T9231') IN (UPPER(charge))

  I don't know what I did wrong? It calculates the amount of the incorrect array element! (v_batch. Must be 5)
  v_batch. FIRST = 1
  v_batch. LAST = 1
  
  Kind regards

• calling a procedure with nested table as input param type

  Hello

  I have a guy like that table.

  create or replace type table_type like table of the varchar2 (4000);

  I have a procedure like this.

  proc_temp (v_table_type, table_type)

  Start

  key code...

  end;

  
  I have a table like this.

  tab_test_data

  --------------------

  ABCD

  efghd

  MNOP

  XYXX

  I want to move this data in table tab_test_data as param of entry while calling this proc could you please tell me how the procedure that calls the statement will be the writtern.

  I try like this.

  ----------------------------

  declare

  TABLE_TYPE v_table;

  Start

  proce_temp (v_table); - here, I want to pass data to the table as entry

  end;

  /

  You already have the data in a table (tab_test_data), then why don't you just use the table inside the proce_temp? Why should I set a collection type and pass it as a parameter? Collections use the expensive PGA memory. If the application that you build this way may have some serious scalability issues.

  Sort of a technical solution would be like this. You can use BULK COLLECT.

  declare
  TABLE_TYPE v_table;
  Start
  Select to bulk column_name fired in v_table
  of tab_test_data;

  proce_temp (v_table);
  end;

• Help please with nested tables

  I'm fighting to properly set up the levels of my play on words.

  Every word is divided into sounds.

  public var wordsL2W9:Array = ["th', 'r', 'ee'];

  I want to display the score etc. after each level. I think for this I will have to write a loop to generate ten words in a current level and then after each level is completed displays the score etc. before moving on to the next level.

  Any ideas what's wrong with the update statement?

  Hi, Seyed,

  Here's a way to do this UPDATE:

  UPDATE     emp
  SET     sal     = sal * 1.05
  ,     comm     = NVL (comm, 0) + 500
  WHERE     deptno     IN (
                 SELECT     deptno
                 FROM     dept
                 WHERE     loc     = 'DALLAS'
               )
  ;
  

  If you want to use an inline view, you can do this:

  UPDATE     (
            SELECT     e.sal
            ,     e.comm
            FROM     emp     e
            JOIN     dept     d  ON     d.deptno  = e.deptno
            WHERE     d.loc     = 'DALLAS'
       )
  SET     sal     = sal * 1.05
  ,     comm     = NVL (comm, 0) + 500
  ;
  

  Whatever it is, the emp table is left as you wish:

• Use FOR... LOOP counter in the treatment of PL/SQL procedures with nest. Table

  Hi all!
  I learn PL/SQL on the book by Steve Bobrovsky (specified below, sample comes from it) and I have a question.
  
  In the procedure of the below specified program used a currentElement integer variable to get the reference to the line in the nested table of data type % ROWTYPE.
  Meanwhile, the program itself uses a common FOR... LOOP counter I have.

  DECLARE
   TYPE partsTable IS TABLE OF parts%ROWTYPE;
   tempParts partsTable := partsTable();
   CURSOR selectedParts IS 
    SELECT * FROM parts ORDER BY id;
   currentPart selectedParts%ROWTYPE;
   currentElement INTEGER;
   PROCEDURE printParts(p_title IN VARCHAR2, p_collection IN partsTable) IS
    BEGIN
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' ');
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(p_title || ' elements: ' || p_collection.COUNT);
     currentElement := p_collection.FIRST;
     FOR i IN 1 .. p_collection.COUNT
     LOOP
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('Element #' || currentElement || ' is ');
       IF tempParts(currentElement).id IS NULL THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('an empty element.');
       ELSE DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ID: ' || tempParts(currentElement).id || ' DESCRIPTION: ' || tempParts(currentElement).description);
       END IF;
      currentElement := p_collection.NEXT(currentElement);
     END LOOP;
   END printParts;
  BEGIN
   FOR currentPart IN selectedParts
   LOOP
    tempParts.EXTEND(2);
    tempParts(tempParts.LAST) := currentPart;
   END LOOP;
   printParts('Densely populated', tempParts);
   FOR i IN 1 .. tempParts.COUNT
   LOOP
    IF tempParts(i).id is NULL THEN tempParts.DELETE(i);
    END IF;
   END LOOP;
   FOR i IN 1 .. 50
   LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('-');
   END LOOP;
   printParts('Sparsely populated', tempParts);
  END;
  /

  When I substituted a global variable of INTEGER type such for... The LOOP counter, an APEX have returned an error "ORA-01403: no data found.

  DECLARE
   TYPE partsTable IS TABLE OF parts%ROWTYPE;
   tempParts partsTable := partsTable();
   CURSOR selectedParts IS 
    SELECT * FROM parts ORDER BY id;
   currentPart selectedParts%ROWTYPE;
   PROCEDURE printParts(p_title IN VARCHAR2, p_collection IN partsTable) IS
    BEGIN
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' ');
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(p_title || ' elements: ' || p_collection.COUNT);
     FOR i IN 1 .. p_collection.COUNT
     LOOP
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('Element is ');
       IF tempParts(i).id IS NULL THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('an empty element.');
       ELSE DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ID: ' || tempParts(i).id || ' DESCRIPTION: ' || tempParts(i).description);
       END IF;
     END LOOP;
   END printParts;
  BEGIN
   FOR currentPart IN selectedParts
   LOOP
    tempParts.EXTEND(2);
    tempParts(tempParts.LAST) := currentPart;
   END LOOP;
   printParts('Densely populated', tempParts);
   FOR i IN 1 .. tempParts.COUNT
   LOOP
    IF tempParts(i).id is NULL THEN tempParts.DELETE(i);
    END IF;
   END LOOP;
   FOR i IN 1 .. 50
   LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('-');
   END LOOP;
   printParts('Sparsely populated', tempParts);
  END;
  /

  When I tried to manage this code in SQL * Plus, the following picture emerged:

  Densely populated elements: 10
  Element is an empty element.
  Element is ID: 1 DESCRIPTION: Fax Machine
  Element is an empty element.
  Element is ID: 2 DESCRIPTION: Copy Machine
  Element is an empty element.
  Element is ID: 3 DESCRIPTION: Laptop PC
  Element is an empty element.
  Element is ID: 4 DESCRIPTION: Desktop PC
  Element is an empty element.
  Element is ID: 5 DESCRIPTION: Scanner
  --------------------------------------------------
  Sparsely populated elements: 5
  DECLARE
  *                                                 
  ERROR at line 1:                                  
  ORA-01403: no data found                          
  ORA-06512: at line 14                             
  ORA-06512: at line 35

  What's not in the code (or what I did not understand)? Help please!

  Your error occurs because you are dealing with a sparsely populated collection and using an index for items that do not exist.

  For collections of the low density of population, you must iterate through using FIRST and THEN as modeled not from 1 to COUNT.

  The crucial difference between your code and the example is:

  tempParts(i)
  

  Which, as you have demonstrated, doesn't work very well (!) if there is no item (i).

  The code example is a little unusual in my opinion.

     currentElement := p_collection.FIRST;
     FOR i IN 1 .. p_collection.COUNT
     LOOP
      ...
      currentElement := p_collection.NEXT(currentElement);
     END LOOP;
  

  It works, but it's an unusual way to iterate through a collection of rare which is perhaps most often done like this:

     currentElement := p_collection.FIRST;
     WHILE(currentElement IS NOT NULL)
     LOOP
      ...
      currentElement := p_collection.NEXT(currentElement);
     END LOOP;
  

  Which is perhaps less open to confusion.

  In the end, the distinction between

  tempParts(currentElement).id
  

  and

  tempParts(i).id
  

  is crucial.

• Problem with comparison column multi Nested Tables

  Hello
  
  I am facing a problem while comparing two collections using operator of type MULTISET. Below I pasted code examples referring to the Employees table in the HR schema.
  program works very well, if it's a single column if I declare that, tab type is table of varchar2 (n);
  
  Example code:
  

  --create type base_type as object (id number,name varchar2(10));
  --create type type_tab is table of base_type;
  declare
  v type_tab :=type_tab();
  v2 type_tab :=type_tab();
  v3 type_tab :=type_tab();
  v1 number;
  begin
  select base_type(employee_id,last_name) bulk collect into v from employees where employee_id in (100,101,102);
  select base_type(employee_id,last_name) bulk collect into v2 from employees where employee_id in (100,101);
  
  v3:= v MULTISET EXCEPT v2;
  end;

  Error
  ERROR on line 10:
  ORA-06550: line 10, column 6:
  PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in the call to 'MULTISET_EXCEPT_ALL '.
  ORA-06550: line 10, column 1:
  PL/SQL: Statement ignored
  
  Could you please address the issue and guide me how to solve this problem.
  Thank you.

  Why would you use collections like this in the first place?

  When the data is the engine of SQL, then use the SQL engine to to deal with - not PL/SQL. And no - nested tables have no place in a good, working, flexible, high-performance and scalable relational design in Oracle.

  To do this, use the multiset SQL function - example

  .. your plsql code..
  
    select
      v MULTISET EXCEPT v2 into  v3
    from dual;
  end;
