selection in a varray

• Select all the elements in VARRAY

  I am being selected in a table where all IDS are in a VARRAY I populated. I searched online and on the forums and cannot find an answer. Help is greatly appreciated.
  
  E.G.
  
  SELECT ID in BULK COLLECT INTO p_ID_1 FROM tbl_name WHERE contained_by = p_ID;
  v_id_1: = v_id_1();
  
  I'm IN p_id_1.first... p_id_1.Last LOOP
  v_id_1.extend ();
  v_id_1 (v_id_1.Last): = p_id_1 (i);
  END LOOP;
  
  -so far, my VARRAY is filled very well here's where I have a problem:
  
  SELECT the BULK COLLECT INTO p_id_2 FROM table_name_2 WHERE contained_by IN v_naid_1 ID (1);
  
  Everything works fine when I run the query. The problem is I want the query to select where the contained_by (all ELEMENTS in varray). Not only the first. How can I do this? I do "FIRST" thought "FINALLY" somehow? I can't list all the elements because there may be thousands.
  
  Thank you!

  This one is easy to fix. But while you'll get:

  SQL> declare
    2      v_deptno sys.OdciNumberList := sys.OdciNumberList(10,20);
    3      v_empno sys.OdciNumberList;

    7      select empno
    8        bulk collect
    9        into v_empno
   10        from emp
   11        where deptno in (select v_deptno(level) from dual connect by level < v_cnt);
   12      for i in 1..v_empno.count loop
   13        dbms_output.put_line(v_empno(i));
   14      end loop;
   15  end;
   16  /
  declare
  *
  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-06532: Subscript outside of limit
  ORA-06512: at line 7
  

  Why? The binding occurs before execution. Mandatory if v_deptno (level) will try to assess the level BEFORE the time of execution and therefore level is not set. Currently (this may change in the next version) before executing Oracle treats level 0, then you could try level + 1. This will not throw an error, but you will get incorrect results:

  SQL> declare
    2      v_deptno sys.OdciNumberList := sys.OdciNumberList(10,20);
    3      v_empno sys.OdciNumberList;
    4      v_cnt number;
    5  begin
    6      v_cnt := v_deptno.count;
    7      select empno
    8        bulk collect
    9        into v_empno
   10        from emp
   11        where deptno in (select v_deptno(level + 1) from dual connect by level < v_cnt);
   12      for i in 1..v_empno.count loop
   13        dbms_output.put_line(v_empno(i));
   14      end loop;
   15  end;
   16  /

  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

  As you can see everything we returned is deptno = 10 employees. Why? Because it does not an affair occurs just before the execution, but is also a TIME. That is why the subquery:

  Select v_deptno from dual connect by level (level + 1)<>

  produces two rows with the same value of v_deptno (0 + 1).

  Hope you got the image.

• Select with LESS vs two VARRAYS with MULTISET

  Hi all
  
  I just wanted to know, which one of the two following is faster and results in better performance.
  
  1. SELECT statement containing 200 + columns in a Table with operator LESS. (TWO SELECTS with operator between them LESS)
  
  2. loading of the individual SELECT statement (with some LESS) result sets in two different VARRAYS and then use these two operators of type MULTISET.
  
  That one is faster and uses less memeory?
  
  Thank you
  REDA

  Direct SQL is still fast compared to the PLSQL. When you use varrays, there will be change of context. Even if you use Bulk collect for loading data yu have to put a limit of 1000 and not beyond.

• How to store values in varrays and how to recover?

  Hi I am using d2k. I can store values in the nested tables, but I can't store it on varrays.

  declare

  Table of TYPE NOMTABLEAU IS of varchar2 (40) index directory.

  NAM NOMTABLEAU;

  Table of TYPE SACARRAY IS of varchar2 (30) index directory.

  BAG SACARRAY;

  I HAVE THE NUMBER (3): = 1;

  BEGIN

  DECLARE CURSOR TEST IS

  SELECT NAME, LOCATION OF THE SCHOOL WHERE CLASS = 10;

  BEGIN

  FOR THE VL IN THE TEST LOOP

  NAM (I): = VL.NAME;

  PLC (I): = VL. PLACE;

  END LOOP;

  : DISP1: = NAM (1);

  : DISP2: = NAM (2);

  : DISP3: = NAM (3);

  : DISP4: = NAM (4);

  : DISP5: = PLC (1);

  : DISP6: = PLC (2);

  : DISP7: = PLC (3);

  : DISP8: = PLC (4);

  END;

  END;

  THIS ONE WORKS, BUT I'VE TRIED USING VARRAYS BUT DOES NOT I DID.

  DECLARE

  NOMTABLEAU TYPE IS VARRAY (10) OF VARCHAR2 (40);

  : DISP5: = PLC (1);

  : DISP6: = PLC (2);

  : DISP7: = PLC (3);

  : DISP8: = PLC (4);

  END;

  END;

  THE VARRAY METHOD DOES NOT WORK. CAN SOMEONE CAN HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. AND ALSO I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THE ELEMENT OF VARRAYS. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

  Try the below

  DECLARE

  NomTableau TYPE VARRAY (10) IS OF VARCHAR2 (40);

  Sacarray TYPE VARRAY (10) IS OF VARCHAR2 (30);

  I have NUMBER: = 0;

  Nam NomTableau: = TableauNoms;

  : DISP5: = plc (1);

  : DISP6: = plc (2);

  : DISP7: = plc (3);

  : DISP8: = plc (4);

  END;

  END;

  You cannot remove a single element of the VARRAY as the nested table. You can delete whole items or fine trim the VARRAY as below

  Nam. DELETE; ---> It will delete any element of VARRAY

  Nam. TRIM (1); ---> He will cut one of end of the varray--> nam. Trim (2)---> Trim 2 items

• The object Type VARRAY

  Hello

  I'm still very new to PL/SQL please bare with me if you can. I am trying to learn how to store the data of an object in a single varray of objects. My code below attempts to declare a type of object with instance attributes 3 and 3 methods of instance of getter and setter method.

  So, I want to create a varray type to store an array of types of objects 'employee '.

  Here I am trying to use a loop to retrieve the 10 first ename and empno, sal chronogram EMP table and store it in the variable array of 10 items.

  Finally, I tried to use another loop to produce the ename, empno and sal in the order opposite.

  My goal and my body of the object was created successfully without error.

  The problem starts when I start anonymous block that creates the varray is when I get an error at the end.

• Question of VARRAY

  Hi, we have a table with varray column, and I write a query for the sum of all values in Varray over a period of a month to 1,000 records. A function simple plsql takes 30 sec for 1000 records... Can someone indicate the problem... need for 10,00,0000 time loop... so need more better results...

  FUNCTION GETTOTAL

  startidx number (3);

  endidx number (3);

  Start

  startidx: = 1;

  endidx: = 24;

  to vals in (select readdate, custarray from customers where customerid = icustid and readdate between istartdate and ienddate) loop

  Start

  -loop on the table-

  because me startidx... loop endidx

  Total: = total + vals.custarray (i);

  end loop;

  end;

  end loop;

  return to the total;

  end;

  A function simple plsql takes 30 sec for 1000 records... Can someone indicate the problem... need for 10,00,0000 time loop... so need more better results...

  I would say that the problem is in the design.

  See if a simple approach to SQL performs better in this situation:

  Select sum (t.column_value) in the total

  customers c

  table (c.custarray) t

  where c.customerid =: icustid

  and c.readdate between: istartdate and: ienddate;

• Varrays help...

  Hello
  
  When I go through book Oracle PLSQL for example written by Benjamin Rosenzweig and co.. In the chapter its mentioned that Varray
  
  "As for nested tables, a varray is automatically NULL when it is declared and must be initialized before its individual elements can be referenced."
  PROG:1
  
  DECLARE
  CURSOR name_cur IS
  SELECT last_name
  The STUDENT
  WHERE rownum < = 10;
  TYPE last_name_type IS VARRAY (10) OF student.last_name%TYPE;
  last_name_varray last_name_type: = last_name_type();
  v_counter INTEGER: = 0;
  BEGIN
  FOR name_rec IN name_cur LOOP
  v_counter: = v_counter + 1;
  last_name_varray. EXTEND;
  last_name_varray (v_counter): = name_rec.last_name;
  DBMS_OUTPUT. Put_line ('last_name('|| v_counter ||'): ' |)
  last_name_varray (v_counter));
  END LOOP;
  END;
  ----
  But in this example, they have not initialized
  
  PROG: 2
  declare
  type is varray (100) the number;
  the b type is varray (100) the number;
  b B1;
  A1 has;
  cursor c is deptno, sum (sal) group by deptno emp selection;
  Start
  Open c1
  collect the fetch c1 into loose in b1, a1;
  Close c1;
  for me in b1.first... loop B1. Last
  dbma_output.put_line (a1 (i));
  end loop;
  end;
  
  Here the varray is not initialized. They were mentioned in the book that Varray and Nested if not initialized leads to error
  ORA-06531: Reference to an uninitialized collection
  
  But in Prog:2 we have not initialized but its not working very well with an error. Could you let me know what makes the difference.
  
  
  Thank you and best regards,
  Pallis

  When you perform the COLLECTION in BULK, varrays automatically get initialized. You don't need to explicitly initialize... The SQL engine initializes and extends collections for you

• Retrieve by using the TYPE attribute of the element type VArray

  I want to recover the varray stores through the type attribute type or no matter WHAT work-around.
  
  for example, our type is defined as SUCH CREATE "READS" AS VARRAY (200) OF NUMBER (21: 6); (reading is with elements of number type varray (21.6))
  
  READING is a column in a table of INTERVALS. INTERVALS is a central table and we batch on the INTERVALS that are running sql store procedures. In the stored procedure we have hardcoded the declarations of variables mapping to the element type of type VArray of READING which is NUMBER (21: 6); for example, the stored procedure has declarations of variables such as
  
  NUMBER OF CONSUMPTION (21: 6);
  
  each Varray definition is changed or varray is deleted and recreated with precision and of different size, ex on number (21.6) past to number (25.9), we need declarations of variables to change in our store to batch process procedures. I am looking for is CONSUMPTION variable declaration, refer to item VArray type. I want something like that
  
  INTERVALS OF CONSUMPTION. READINGS. COLUMN_TYPE % TYPE; (I want something like this, identify the type of the items stored by varray)

  No problem. Discussions forum flags viewers have read so you don't need to keep posting.

  In response to your question I don't know of a direct method, but it doesn't seem to be syntactically possible to anchor via a SLIDER instead diverted the road % TYPE and % ROWTYPE.

  However, if you try this with a digital item type precision and scale are not kept and you will end up with a NUMBER.

  I said just a subtype corresponding to the same place, declaring variables, on this basis and do with it.

  create type emp_varray is varray(20) emp_obj;
  

  I guess you missed the clause 'OF '...

  Can you please check if it is correctly created?

• can we use rowtype in varray?

  I try to use a rowtype as content of the varray, I go for collecting information of employees collect table using the majority and trying to assign to a variable created by the data varray type, but I get this error?

  help me with this solution to the question above?
  
  also tell me
  1. the question of whether we can able to store several values of the column to a variable using varray

• How to call the function with arguments varray.

  Hello
  I've got function like this:
  

  CREATE OR REPLACE
  TYPE VARR_VARCHAR AS VARRAY(256) OF NVARCHAR2(500)
  /
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE

        p_special_columns     IN   varr_varchar,
        p_special_values      IN   e_varr_varchar,
       )
        RETURN VARCHAR2;

  How can I build this function call (nvarchar data type is necessary) using the only pl/sql and can do with pure as sql select double f();?
  I'm on 9.2.0.8.
  Concerning

• working with varrays

  Hello
  I have tried the following with varrays block and works well

  DECLARE
   TYPE tp_test IS  VARRAY(100) OF VARCHAR2(50);
   v_tp_test TP_TEST:=TP_TEST();
   BEGIN
     SELECT ENAME BULK COLLECT INTO v_tp_test 
       FROM EMP
       WHERE job='CLERK' ;
     FOR i in 1..v_tp_test.count 
      LOOP
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'The list of array values are: ' ||v_tp_test(i));
      END LOOP;
  END;

  And I tried the following by adding a column (mgr) more in the select clause.
  

  DECLARE
   TYPE tp_test IS  VARRAY(100) OF VARCHAR2(50);
   v_tp_test TP_TEST:=TP_TEST();
   BEGIN
     SELECT ENAME,MGR BULK COLLECT INTO v_tp_test 
       FROM Z_EMP
       WHERE job='CLERK' ;
     FOR i in 1..v_tp_test.count 
      LOOP
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'The list of array values are: ' ||v_tp_test(i));
      END LOOP;
  END;  

  With the above, I get the

  PL/SQL: ORA-00947: not enough values

  What changes I have to do to accept the MGR column also in the selection list
  
  
  Thank you

  You choose two columns, so you need two variables contain values thos or a prison guard multi dimensional.

  DECLARE
   type p_rec is record(c1 varchar2(10),c2 number(4));
   TYPE tp_test IS  VARRAY(100) OF p_rec;
   v_tp_test TP_TEST;
   BEGIN
     SELECT ENAME,MGR BULK COLLECT INTO v_tp_test
       FROM EMP
       WHERE job='CLERK' ;
     FOR i in 1..v_tp_test.count
      LOOP
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'The list of array values are: ' ||v_tp_test(i).c1||','||v_tp_test(i).c2);
      END LOOP;
  END;
