• SQL SELECT statement as a parameter in the procedure of string

  Hi all
  
  I'm new to PL/SQL and I must get a procedure as parameter select SQL select statement as a VARCHAR and the production output the result of the statement with a few changes. Can someone help me solve this problem?
  
  A possibility I thought at was to use a REF CURSOR. The following example works but binds me to a specific table (in the example of the "customers" table). However, I need the ability to specify arbitrary tables in the select statement parameter.
  

  SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
  DECLARE
    TYPE my_cur IS REF CURSOR;
    query_cursor my_cur;
  BEGIN
    OPEN query_cursor FOR 'SELECT * FROM customers';
    DECLARE
      record_type customers%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
       LOOP
          FETCH query_cursor INTO record_type;
          EXIT WHEN query_cursor%NOTFOUND;
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('some output ... ');
       END LOOP;
    END;
    CLOSE query_cursor;
  END;
  /

  My idea was to modify this example to work in the following code, but it does not work (I get a compile error):
  

  SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
  DECLARE
    TYPE my_cur IS REF CURSOR;
    query_cursor my_cur;
  BEGIN
  
    OPEN query_cursor FOR 'SELECT * FROM customers';
  
    DECLARE
      record_type query_cursor%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
       LOOP
          FETCH query_cursor INTO record_type;
          EXIT WHEN query_cursor%NOTFOUND;
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('some output ... ');
       END LOOP;
    END;
    
    CLOSE query_cursor;
  
  END;
  /

  Does anyone has an idea how can I solve my problem?
  
  Thank you very much!

• NULL in PL/SQL SELECT statement..

  Hi all
  
  I need to use as a result of a SELECT statement in my function to get PCODE from the table. Cur_rec here. CODE comes from cursor that runs before the declaration.
  
  SELECT PCODE in v_pcode TABLE_XYZ where CODE = cur_rec. CODE and PCODE = 'VIEW '.
  
  
  Now the problem is the part of the CODE has all the information in the table TABLE_XYZ. In this case, it triggers an error NO_DATA_FOUND. To solve it, I can put a part of the EXCEPTION and handle it. But I think in another way...
  
  If there is no data for a CODE, the default value of v_pcode would be 'No Code'. I tried to use the NVL function, but it does not work here as a SQL SELECT statement.
  
  Can someone give an idea how to achieve this?

  Hello

  declare
    ...
    v_cnt number;
  begin
    SELECT count(*)
         into v_cnt
        from TABLE_XYZ
      where CODE = cur_rec.CODE
         and PCODE='SEE';
    if v_cnt=0 then
      v_pcode = 'No code';
    else
      v_pcode = 'SEE';

• SQL select statements

  Hey everybody,

  First of all, Yes, I searched through the 8.5 database schema guide.  As I went through the scheme, I've developed some ideas on how to collect the data you want.  However, if someone has already developed or found the SQL statements (which I'm sure that someone already has) it would help by reducing to the minimum of the buggs in my data collection program.

  All these statistics must be grouped by CSQ and selected for a certain time interval ( and ).  That is, levels of 1 hour.  I have no problem to get a list of results and then perform v.f. to achieve the desired final result.  Also, if I need to run several select statements for tables of essentially two join, please include two statements.  Finally, I saw the RtCSQsSummary table, but I need to collect data for the past, not at this time.

  1 total calls presented by the CSQ

  2. total number of calls answered by the CSQ

  3 total number of calls abandoned by the CSQ

  4. percentage of calls abandoned by CSQ (if it is not stored in the database, I think: /)

  5. average abandon time in seconds (if it is not stored in the DB, I think: sum () /)

  6. service level - % calls answered in 90 seonds by a set of skills (I have seen metServiceLevel in the ContactQueueDetail table; however, I need to find how to configure this threshold for application)

  7. average speed of response by CSQ

  8 average conversation by CSQ calls

  9. the aggregates connected full-time resources or agents CSQ

  10. resources/agents of CSQ ready time

  I realize that some of them should be easy to find (as I always am search in the guide of db schema), but I was reading how a new record is created for each step of the call so I could easily see how I could get inaccurate information without properly developed select statements.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Brendan

  Brendan,

  I read your message very well.

  You have the schema of database with tables and description. each table has its associated tables (connected with primary and foreign keys). I think you should start the tables to determine what you need.

  Cisco uses the stored procedure to prepare the reports. the stored procedure is 'sp_csq_interval' to create the report.

• Function of PL/SQL return statement IMG

  APEX 4.0.2

  I have a SQL command that it generate statements of IMG. It looks a bit like this-

  SELECT blah blah blah

  (CASE

  "WHEN p.person_id IS NULL THEN ' < img alt ="nophoto"src =" #WORKSPACE_IMAGES #nophoto.png "/ >"

  "ELSE ' < img alt ="photo"src =" #WORKSPACE_IMAGES #photo.png "/ >"

  END) "PHOTO."

  blah blah blah

  'PHOTO' and 'REVIEW_OVERDUE_IMAGE' are defined as Standard report columns.

  'PHOTO' is displayed correctly. "REVIEW_OVERDUE_IMAGE" displays the REPLACEMENT text.

  I confirmed that getreviewimage to create the IMG statement correctly by making the field to display as text. The IMG statement seems good.

  Then I took among the mentions IMG generated and hard-coded in the SQL statement. In other words changed the SQL statement as follows

  SELECT blah blah blah

  (CASE

  "WHEN p.person_id IS NULL THEN ' < img alt ="nophoto"src =" #WORKSPACE_IMAGES #nophoto.png "/ >"

  "ELSE ' < img alt ="photo"src =" #WORKSPACE_IMAGES #photo.png "/ >"

  END) "PHOTO."

  ' < img alt = "blah" src = "#WORKSPACE_IMAGES #blah.png" / > "" REVIEW_OVERDUE_IMAGE",

  blah blah blah

  bla displayed instead of blah.png. Firebug shows that #WORKSPACE_IMAGES # is not converted to REVIEW_OVERDUE_IMAGE.

  I don't know what is happening here.

  Probably you create image src reference in the GetReviewImage works by using the substitution string "#WORKSPACE_IMAGES #"? This will not be overridden when used outside of a block in the APEX. To refer to integrated units of DB program APEX session state and the substitution string values, you must use the syntax of PL/SQL function:

  ''

  However, I highly recommend the use of HTML phrases in order to remove the literal HTML from report queries and PL/SQL program units whenever it is possible to do.

• Try to run a SQL statement through the window of OEM 12 c run SQL.  Statement fails

  All,

  I have a 11g database.  When it is initially installed, I installed it in $ORACLE_BASE = / orabin/app/oracle/product and $ORACLE_HOME = $ORACLE_BASE/11gDB_R2.  This is the version 11.2.0.1 to give birth to 11.2.0.3.

  Recently, I installed 11.2.0.4 in $ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.4.  Then, I upgraded my database at 11.2.0.4.  Everything works fine.

  All my scripts on the linux host logon changed to point my environment at $ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.4 House and my $PATH when I connect to the linux host is: /orabin/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/bin:/orabin/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/OPatch:/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/oracle/bin

  On my OEM Console, the database appears as 11.2.0.4 and me can manage very well.

  However, when I try to use the window of the OEM Console to execute SQL to execute any type of SQL statement, it fails.

  The failure error is:

  Could not launch/orabin/app/oracle/product/11gDB_R2/bin/sqlplus-s/nolog: no such file or directory

  It would be a mistake since the 11gDB_R2 directory tree (the 11.2.0.3 software) has been removed from the host, now that the database is set to level and working as 11.2.0.4.

  I wonder if somewhere in the OEM software, there is always a pointer to the old ORACLE_HOME?  I can't find anything in the .bashrc or other shell scripts that are executed when a Shell session on the host computer which were still the reference to the old directory of 11gDB_R2 so I'm a bit puzzled.

  I have 8 guests, and all have been improved in the same way at 11.2.0.4.  For some databases, the OEM window run SQL is executing the SQL code.

  Someone has some ideas on this?

  Go to the Configuration of the analysis of the database (when you set the password) and update of the Oracle home.   Also do this for all targets listener on this host as well.

• PL/SQL: Update statement

  SQL dear Experts,
  
  I'm writing a procedure to execute a simple DML statement. For example below stmt update: I provide COL1 and COL2 as inputs based on the update should run. Can you suggest how this can be implemented?
  

  UPDATE TABLE1 SET COL1=123 WHERE COL2=456;

  create or replace
  procedure test1 (col1 varchar2,col2 varchar2) as
  
  v_str varchar2(90);
  begin
  v_str := 'update emp set '||col1 ||'= 55 where '||col2 ||'= 7369';
  execute immediate v_str;
  end;
  
  DECLARE
    COL1 VARCHAR2(30);
    COL2 VARCHAR2(30);
  BEGIN
    COL1 := 'SAL';
    COL2 := 'EMPNO';
  
    TEST1(
      COL1 => COL1,
      COL2 => COL2
    );
  END;
  

  Is that what you want?

• SQL Update statement

  Hi all
  
  I have a table with 5 columns Col1, Col2, Col3, Col4, Col5. The requirement for the company is that all four columns Col1 by Col4 must be filled or any of the four columns must be filled.
  
  Any line that does not conform the above rule must be marked as error.
  
  I would like to know how I update the Col5 with 'Error' when 2 rules above does not comply with a statement direct update (sql).
  
  For Ex:
  
  Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5
  Row1 has b c and d
  Row2
  Row3 a c error
  Row4 a b c error
  
  Thank you

  More efficient UPDATE would be:

  UPDATE your_table
    SET col5 = 'Error'
    WHERE NOT (
                  (col1 IS NOT NULL AND col2 IS NOT NULL AND col3 IS NOT NULL AND col4 IS NOT NULL)
               OR
                  (col1 IS NULL AND col2 IS NULL AND col3 IS NULL AND col4 IS NULL)
              )
  /
  

  Or you can create the check constraint:

  ALTER TABLE your_table
    ADD CONSTRAINT your_table_CHK1
      CHECK(
               (col1 IS NOT NULL AND col2 IS NOT NULL AND col3 IS NOT NULL AND col4 IS NOT NULL)
            OR
               (col1 IS NULL AND col2 IS NULL AND col3 IS NULL AND col4 IS NULL)
           )
  /
  

  to avoid bad lines in the first place.

• CASE in SQL Server statement

  I'm working on a project for ambulance response times. In the following query, which is in my coldfusion code, I use a CASE statement on a subquery to count of ambulance response times in stores. An ambulance should arrive at an incident of emergency in less than 08:59 (539 seconds), otherwise it is considered to be late. In my coldfusion Transact-SQL code, I am:
  1.) is a subquery.
  2.) counting "number of events"time-based, it took the ambulance to arrive. "
  3.) only count the ambulances of Lee County and excluding A6 type (non-emergency) calls.
  (4.) grouping of date parts.
  
  SELECT DATENAME ("M", I.I_tTimeDispatch) in the month, (DATEPART ("yyyy", I.I_tTimeDispatch)) AS year,.
  COUNT (CASE WHEN (DATEDIFF ("S", I.I_tTimeDispatch, I.I_tTimeArrival)) BETWEEN 0 AND 539 SO evnt END) AS OnTime.
  COUNT (CASE WHEN (DATEDIFF ("S", I.I_tTimeDispatch, I.I_tTimeArrival)) BETWEEN 540 AND 1028 THEN evnt END) AS of late.
  COUNT (CASE WHEN (DATEDIFF ("S", I.I_tTimeDispatch, I.I_tTimeArrival)) > 1028 THEN evnt END) AS aberrant
  (SELECT I_EventNumber AS evnt, I_tTimeDispatch, I_tTimeArrival, I_kTypeInfo, I_Agency FROM dbo. IIncident) as I
  INNER JOIN dbo. ITypeInfo AS T ON I.I_kTypeInfo = T.ITI_TypeInfo_PK
  WHERE I.I_Agency = 'LC'
  AND T.ITI_TypeID NOT LIKE ' A6. "
  GROUP BY (DATEPART ("M", I.I_tTimeDispatch)), (DATENAME ("M", I.I_tTimeDispatch)), (DATEPART ("yyyy", I.I_tTimeDispatch))
  ORDER BY (DATEPART ("yyyy", I.I_tTimeDispatch)) ASC, ASC (DATEPART ("M", I.I_tTimeDispatch))
  
  Here's my problem!
  I go in Microsoft Access to check my stats and I get different counts. For example, in April 2008, my coldfusion query returns 3 944 response ambulance in time. My query Access for the same period of time, using only ambulances in Lee County and excluding non A6-emergency returns only 3 805 answers. There is an undercounting of 139 responses. Even for my other tanks of the time, I get a undercount.
  
  Here is my SQL Access to the tray of response time (< seconds 539 or 08:59):
  
  SELECT Count (dbo_IIncident.I_EventNumber) AS CountOfI_EventNumber
  FROM dbo_IIncident INNER JOIN dbo_ITypeInfo ON dbo_IIncident.I_kTypeInfo = dbo_ITypeInfo.ITI_TypeInfo_PK
  WHERE (((dbo_IIncident.I_Agency) = "lc") AND ((dbo_ITypeInfo.ITI_TypeID) not as ' a6 * ') AND ((dbo_IIncident.I_tTimeDispatch) between # #4/1/2008 and may 1, 2008 #) AND ((DateDiff ("s", [dbo_IIncident].) [I_tTimeDispatch], [dbo_IIncident]. [I_tTimeArrival])) Between 0 and 539));
  
  How two queries that are supposed to do the same could return different results?
  
  
  In order to dispel any confusion, I write the page temporarily. Please look at because it can help you visualize the problem.
  http://lcfcfn01/secure/GTandLT_8_59.cfm

  Instead of counting, why don't you change your SQL to list the incidents in the two queries instead, then you can see who is included in the T - SQL that are not captured in Access code.

  However, I get the following error:
  
  LINE/COL ERROR
  -------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
  37/6 PLS-00103: encountered the symbol "WHEN" what awaits an of
  What follows:
  := . ( % ;
  
  On a second note, can't be incorporated into the (currently commented) case ELSE structure?
  
  Thank you very much in advance.

  The initial error was just a problem with your procedure. The other has to do with how you use the CASE statement.
  The code seems a bit long for what you're trying to do. Could you describe what your needs are?

• SQL * more State 2091 internal error error

  version: 9i
  
  When executing SQL queries, I get this error:
  
  
  SQL * more internal error state 2091, context 0:0:0
  Dangerous to proceed

  Try to upgrade your SQL client * more...

  Using specific syntactic 9i? Sometimes more old SQL * more can't handle the syntax 'most recent '.
