• order of the sql operation

  Hi experts,

  I want to erase my basics here.

  I want to know the order of the sql operation.

  in fact the problem with me I've read websites and different blog

  on the order of operation of sqkl requests, so I'm confused here.

  I think that the order of operation iis

  -MY assumptuion-

  Of

  |

  where

  |

  Group

  |

  having

  |

  Select

  |

  order by

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

  My assupmtion is correct?

  If so, then if suppose there is clause rownum in my selection criteria, when

  It will apply?

  on some sites I've seen criteria below

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

  1. FROM/WHERE clause goes first.

  2 ROWNUM is assigned and incremented for each line of output FROM/WHERE clause.

  3. SELECT is applied.

  4 GROUP BY is applied.

  5 WHO is applied.

  6 ORDER BY is applied.

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

  is that correct or my assumption is correct?

  Thank you very much in advance... !!

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I'm more confused now that everyone has to give a different answer...:)

  Blushadow said something that can really help you:

  Queries are not always run in a linear fashion

  Once you see a step by step ordered arrangement, it is (at best) how things looked from a point of view, and it can be useful to understand some aspects of the work of the database, but not all.

  If you must have a single ordered list, so what you posted first is, according to me, the more accurate for the majority of cases:

  1. Of
  2. where
  3. Group
  4. having
  5. Select
  6. order by

  This can help you understand logically how to write SQL statements and predict their outcome.  For example, think that, when it happens before that GROUP BY allows to remember that you can not use an aggregate function, such as COUNT in a WHERE clause, because the aggregate functions are calculated as part of the process GROUP.

  How to write a SQL statement and how the optimizer decides to pay in fact, are two different things.  The optimizer do not follow the sequence posted above, or any other sequence of steps.  To see how a particular statement is made, given some data in particular, there is no substitute for watching the execution plan.

• Same code running in SQL * more edit the sql buffer vs = different results file

  Hello
  
  For the last few minutes I was scratching my head trying to understand why my little piece of code was not working.
  As a result, a sample:
  

  create or replace type booktitles_nt is TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100);
  /
  declare
    booklist booktitles_nt := booktitles_nt('Great Expectations','Ulysses','1984');  
  begin
    for i in booklist.FIRST .. booklist.LAST LOOP
      dbms_output.put_line('Book number ' || i || ':' || booklist(i));
    end loop;
  end;
  /

  When run interactively, I get the following results:
  

    1  create or replace type booktitles_nt is TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100);
    2  /
    3  declare
    4    booklist booktitles_nt := booktitles_nt('Great Expectations','Ulysses','1984');
    5  begin
    6    for i in booklist.FIRST .. booklist.LAST LOOP
    7      dbms_output.put_line('Book number ' || i || ':' || booklist(i));
    8    end loop;
    9* end;

  So I try without the slash and get nowhere:
  

    1  create or replace type booktitles_nt is TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100);
    2  declare
    3    booklist booktitles_nt := booktitles_nt('Great Expectations','Ulysses','1984');
    4  begin

  So I think, maybe I'll try it in a .sql file. So I put the first fragment of code in a file, test4.sql:
  

  SCOTT@ORCL> get C:\Users\J\Documents\SQL\test4.sql
    1  create or replace type booktitles_nt is TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100);
    2  /

    7      dbms_output.put_line('Book number ' || i || ':' || booklist(i));
    8    end loop;
    9* end;
  SCOTT@ORCL>

  and run it, and it works:
  

  SCOTT@ORCL> @C:\Users\J\Documents\SQL\test4.sql
  
  Type created.
  
  Book number 1:Great Expectations
  Book number 2:Ulysses
  Book number 3:1984
  
  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

  Can someone tell me why the behavior is different when it is run from a file when it is run, well, interactive? There seems to be some limits on what you can interactively run vs. what you can run from a script.

  What should I do next?
  
  Thank you.

  in the PL/SQL scripts, you simply omit the 'run '. and for the SQL code, you must put a run before.
  so your script:

  begin
    dbms_wm.beginddl('MyTable');
    execute immediate 'ALTER TABLE MyTable ADD NewColumn1 VARCHAR2(200)';
    dbms_wm.commitddl('MyTable');
  end;
  

  Apart from that, you should edit MyTable_LTS in your session DDL.

• Using the SQL workshop APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN

  I'm on 5 APEX. I need to leave my user access to system change electronic/SMTP mail settings in my workspace without giving them access to the admin area pages work. I see there are the built APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN.set_parameter, but I needed to let them run it from the SQL builder APEX (not in SQLplus under sys) workshop. I gave APEX_ADMIN_ROLE to my analysis schema. Is this possible? I tried and could not make it work.

  
  

  Start

  run immediately "ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = APEX_050000';"

  I tested it on my case, that's what I did:

  (1) as SYS:

  grant APEX_ADMINISTRATOR_ROLE to demo;
  

  2) log in as demo schema and run an APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN:

  BEGIN

  When I revoke the grant with: revoke APEX_ADMINISTRATOR_ROLE of demonstration;

  The statement was not successful:

  You are absolutely sure that the procedure actually runs one of these DBMS_OUTPUTs, that is, you are sure that alternate paths through your procedure are not taken?

  To confirm, put a DBMS_OUTPUT at the very beginning of your procedure, to see if that print, which should be if you set serveroutput on it.

• SQL more how to stop script after the exception of the DDL

  Hello

  I have script .sql, which I managed by SQL * more.

  Some migration of data and database structure changes were made in the script.

  So, I use a lot of distinct calls:

  @script_name.sql

  @script_name_1.sql

  @script_name_2.sql

  ...

  Some of the scripts contains DDL as create table or column.

  contains some declare blocks (DML).

  Is it possible to stop the script after an exception has occurred?

  Thank you, Olga.

  Hi, Olga.

  You can use the SQL * more order

  WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT

  to tell SQL * more to stop the execution of orders and immediately disconnect after any exception SQL is triggered.

  I don't know of anyway to stay connected, but to stop script execution, after an error.

  The sys user must connect as sysdba

  have you tried

  sqlplus 'sys@ORCL as sysdba'

  or

  sqlplus 'sys/yoursyspwd@ORCL as sysdba'

  the first command should work without password for all users group ORA_DBA.

  Scott, the user cannot also exists in your database.

  As you can see, the SQL * more script contains ON SET ECHO ON and PUT your COMMENTS.

  Hello world
  
  I am sure it is a simple and can someone help me:
  
  In other projects, I've always used TOAD or similar tools to compile my PL/SQL code, but with this project I have only SQL * more then when I run 'CREATE PROCEDURE '.... "I just get the message ' Warning: function created with compilation errors.
  
  I'm sure that compiling information are written in a table somewhere or maybe can be displayed directly in the SQL * more window (maybe there an option or the indicator "Compile"?) and so I hope someone can point me to a good HOWTO or give me one or two keywords that I can google under?
  
  Thank you very much

  Use

  display errors

  or user_errors

  SQL> create or replace procedure p1 is
    2  begin
    3   null
    4  end;
    5  /
  
  Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.
  
  SQL> show errors

• SP2-0103: nothing in the SQL buffer to run.

  HI I have a simple procedure in my oracle 11g database which is like follows.i call this procedure from a shell script and I'm trying to redirect this dbmsoutput to a log file in the unix shell script.
  but after that the script runs when I chat log file, it says SP2-0103: nothing in the SQL buffer to run. What is the dbmsoutput not redirected to the log file?
  
  procedure

  CREATE OR REPLACE procedure display_line as 
  begin 
  dbms_output.put_line(' this is displayed in output file');
  end;
  /

  Unix script

  sqlplus -s scott/tiger@ORCL<<!>>$PWD/abc.log
  set server output on
  spool $PWD/abc.log
  exec display_line
  /
  spool off
  
  !

  Concerning
  REDA

  exec display_line; itself turns into

  BEGIN
     display_line;
  END;
  /
  

  You don't need a ' / ' at the end again.

  In addition, it seems that sqlplus does not record the history of previous orders, when you use the keyword EXEC.
  If you use the start... Keywords of the end, the previous block/statement executed is saved and run when we do a ' / '. Check this session below. I don't know why that is.
