• Creating external Tables using the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in PL/SQL

  Hi guys,.
  
  I am trying to create an external Table using the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in a procedure and I managed to compile and no errors were generated. But when I try to run it from sql using the exec command I get the following error:
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ERROR on line 5:
  ORA-00911: invalid character
  ORA-06512: at "GEO. TEST_DDL', line 4
  ORA-06512: at line 5
  
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  I tried to check the whole statement to create the external table, but I can't find where is the error. Surprisingly, if I simply run the command table create external on sqlplus it works, but not a procedure.
  
  If anyone can help with ideas or experience?

  The error means that there is an identifier somewhere that starts with a nonalphanumeric. This is a typical mistake of editing. A procedure compiles correctly is not of course because the underlying dynamic sql running is OK. Which of course only be resolved when you try to run it.

  There is certainly a problem with the text you provide to be run as a piece of dynamic sql code. You should try to watch it with dbms_output and run this code in sqlplus. But your problem is with the code you run as dynamic PL/SQL, it is not itself compilable.

• 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;"

  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.

• 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:

  SQL> declare
    v     varchar2 (20) := 'X';
    x     varchar2 (20) := 'Hello World';
    res   varchar2 (20);
    qry   varchar2 (100);
  begin
    qry := 'SELECT ' || case when v not like ':%' then ':' end || v || ' FROM DUAL';
  
    execute immediate qry into res using case when v not like ':%' then v else x end;
  
    dbms_output.put_line (res);
  end;

• With the help of the POLL with Execute Immediate clause

  I wrote a query to update a table and return the column in a variable of type table nested using the return clause but its not working, I am getting error like
  
  ORA-06550: line 66, column 22:
  PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in the call to ' |'
  ORA-06550: line 66, column 4:
  PL/SQL: Statement ignored
  
  I get the error message in part of my request to the suite
  
  || "RETURN If_row_status in bulk collect INTO"
  || v_if_row_status;
  
  
  Referred to as v_if_row_status-
  TYPE v_count IS the TABLE OF varchar2 (50) INDEX directory.
  v_if_row_status v_count;

  The original message listed error about concatenation, but the code in response to scott.wesley had no concatenation. Have you tried to revise the update process? What is a different issue, unrelated to the first?

  The best thing to do would be to create a cursor, loop through it and use a simple update for each row. Updates complex as the one you are trying to use are very difficult to manage. By using a loop to insert/update, you can have control over the process and have access to all values, you must use more later in advance instead of having to use the RETURN clause.

  Insert bulk can be more effective, but is difficult to manage for the great updates.

• use of execute immediate to select

  Hi all
  
  I am writing a procedure as follows:
  
  create or replace procedure (run_yr_mo in number) as
  
  number of v_count: = 0;
  
  Start
  
  run immediately "select count (*)
  from all_tables
  where owner = "MGR"
  and table_name = "FC_PR_" '. run_yr_mo | »
  in v_count;
  
  dbms_output.put_line (v_count);
  
  end;
  
  This returns me an error when immediate execution.
  run_yr_mo = 200912
  
  Can someone help me with this.
  
  Thank you

  Why use run immediately?

  create or replace procedure myproc ( run_yr_mo in number) as
   v_count number := 0;
  begin
    select count(*)
    into v_count
    from all_tables
    where owner = 'MGR'
    and table_name = 'FC_PR_'||to_char(run_yr_mo,'fm999999');
  
    dbms_output.put_line(v_count);
  end;
  

  You missed to give a name to the procedure and you need to format numbers as strings explicitly to avoid possible extra spaces get added at the beginning of the implicit conversion.

• EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in error > > ORA-00972: identifier is too long

  Hello
  
  I wrote a code using execute immediate command. This command essentially creates a cursor that selects user_tab_columns table names. These table names are then used inside the statement immediately execute in order to apply the same select statement on the table being selected within the cursor names.

  Here is the list of question I see in this code.

  1. in the SQL string, you must have a after the keyword and before the GROUP BY keyword.

  2. you should not use ';' in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. You must remove it.

  3. the result set returned by the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE should be stored in a Variable. You use the INTO LEDGES INTO clause or in BULK to this effect.

  Well, dynamic sql is executed in a separate context and scope. V_barg_unit stated in your code is therefore not visible in the dynamic PL/SQL block you run. You can pass block dynamic PL/SQL using the variable binding and the USING clause:

  DECLARE
      cmd VARCHAR2 (4000);
      v_barg_unit VARCHAR2 (10) := 'ABC';
      v_bg_group VARCHAR2 (10) := ' ';
  
  CURSOR abc
  IS
  SELECT * FROM test_dynamic_if_tbl;
  BEGIN
  FOR c1 IN abc
  LOOP
  cmd :=
  'declare v_barg_unit VARCHAR2 (10);
  Begin
  v_barg_unit := :v_barg_unit;
  If ' || c1.condition
  || ' THEN '
  || c1.result_val
  || ' ; End if;
  End;';
  DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('cmd: ' || cmd);
  
  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE cmd USING v_barg_unit,OUT v_bg_group;
  
  DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Condition: ' || c1.condition);
  DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('result_value: ' || c1.result_val);
  DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('v_bg_group: ' || v_bg_group);
  END LOOP;
  END;
  

  However, since you do not know what name will be stored in test_dynamic_if_tbl my suggestion is not a generic solution.

• How to set multiple parameters in a sql EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

  I want to set nls_language and nls_date_language and set them as different languages. fnd_global.set_nls_context () does not work. So I think I can use the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and add them together into a single statement. But I don't know how to make that happen. Can someone help me? Thank you very much.

  EXEC is a more SQL API which can be used to execute the PL/SQL code. What it does is put the PL/SQL code in a BEGIN block... END of block and run.

  So, you can also manually put code in a BEGIN block... END of block and run like that.

  SQL> begin
    2     execute immediate q'[begin execute immediate 'alter session set nls_date_language = ''AMERICAN'''; execute immediate 'alter session set nls_language = ''AMERICAN'''; end;]';
    3  end;

  And I don't understand what possible benefit he made a single run in a BEGIN block... Terminate during execution of multiples.

  Why this code is not in your interest, something like this

  begin
       execute immediate 'alter session set nls_date_language = ''AMERICAN''';
       execute immediate 'alter session set nls_language = ''AMERICAN''';

• dml execution 2 statements at a time with the help of execute immediate

  I would like to run 2 DML statements at a time with the help of execute immediate usefulness,.
  
  ex:
  
  update employee set ename = 'Chantal' where eno = 123;
  Update dept set dname = 'IT' where dno = 345;
  
  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.
