How to refresh all virtual tables in HANA? - hana

I create a stored procedure with a cursor for looping over each virtual table in the system.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "Basis.db::sp_basis_alter_vt_2"( )
AS
OBJECT_NAME nvarchar(500);
BEGIN
DECLARE OBJECT_ELEMENT_NAME nvarchar(500);
DECLARE CURSOR v_Cursor
FOR SELECT CONCAT(OBJECT_NAME, '"') AS OBJECT_NAME FROM(
SELECT CONCAT(OBJECT_NAME, TABLE_NAME) AS OBJECT_NAME FROM(
SELECT CONCAT(OBJECT_NAME, '"."') AS OBJECT_NAME, TABLE_NAME FROM (
SELECT CONCAT('"', SCHEMA_NAME) AS OBJECT_NAME, TABLE_NAME FROM "PUBLIC"."TABLES" WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE 'VT_%')));
OPEN v_Cursor;
FETCH v_Cursor into OBJECT_ELEMENT_NAME;
FOR cur_row AS v_CURSOR DO
ALTER VIRTUAL TABLE cur_row.OBJECT_NAME REFRESH DEFINITION;
END FOR;
CLOSE v_Cursor;
END;
The problem currently is, that cur_row.OBJECT_NAME isn't recognized as a table entry but as schema name.
How can I refresh all Virtual Tables in HANA Cloud?
Error output is:
Could not execute 'CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "Basis.db::sp_basis_alter_vt_2"( ) AS OBJECT_NAME ...'
Error: (dberror) [257]: sql syntax error: incorrect syntax near "REFRESH": line 15 col 42 (at pos 640)

It seems like this solution worked out for me.
Thank you Lars, for your revision!
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "Basis.db::sp_basis_alter_vt_2"( )
AS
OBJECT_NAME nvarchar(517);
BEGIN
DECLARE CURSOR virt_tables FOR
SELECT
'"' || SCHEMA_NAME || '"."' || TABLE_NAME || '"' AS OBJECT_NAME
FROM
"PUBLIC"."TABLES"
WHERE
TABLE_NAME LIKE 'VT_%';
FOR vtab AS virt_tables DO
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER VIRTUAL TABLE ' || vtab.OBJECT_NAME || ' REFRESH DEFINITION';
END FOR;
END;

Oracle functions: How to pass a table name as parameter, and use a cursor result as a table name?

I need help with this oracle function I am trying to create.
Basically what I want to do is pass in the name of a table, and return the maximum value of the column which is the variable table name + '_ID'
So it would look like this (tableName)_ID
Here's what I've tried (But I can't get it to even work):
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION RETURN_ID(tableName IN varchar2)
return int
IS
curResult varchar2;
cursor cur1 is
SELECT column_name
FROM all_tab_cols
WHERE table_name = tableName
AND column_name like '%_ID';
BEGIN
OPEN cur1;
FETCH cur1 INTO curResult;
CLOSE cur1;
SELECT MAX(curResult) AS MaxID
FROM tableName;
RETURN maxID;
END RETURN_ID;
Replace
SELECT MAX(curResult) AS MaxID
FROM tableName;
with
execute immediate
'select max(' || curResult || ')' ||
' from ' || tableName
into MaxID;
Whenever you want to dynamically change table or column names in a select statement, there almost always is no other way than to resort to execute immediate statements.
You'd need to use dynamic SQL. Something like
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT MAX(' || tablename || '_id ) ' ||
' FROM ' || tablename
INTO maxID;

DROP all tables starting with "EXT_" in Oracle SQL

I know this question may ask many times but I could not find one line SQL statement.
I remember I did it before but now I could not remember how I did
I want to drop all tables whose name starts with "EXT_". Is it possibile to make it happen with one line SQL statement.
You could use a short anonymous block to do this.
BEGIN
FOR c IN ( SELECT table_name FROM user_tables WHERE table_name LIKE 'EXT_%' )
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE ' || c.table_name;
END LOOP;
END;
It's not possible with only one statement. Usually, I write a sql to get all the tables and then execute the results:
select 'drop table ' || table_name || ';'
from user_tables
where table_name like 'EXT_%';
This code will DROP not only EXT_% tables, it will act as DROP EXT% also.
Underscore is as special wildcard that acts as '%' but for a single character.
BEGIN
FOR c IN ( SELECT table_name FROM user_tables WHERE table_name LIKE 'EXT_%' )
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE ' || c.table_name;
END LOOP;
END;
In order to achieved desired results you should change your code the way below
BEGIN
FOR c IN ( SELECT table_name FROM user_tables WHERE table_name LIKE 'EXT\_%' ESCAPE '\')
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE ' || c.table_name;
END LOOP;
END;
It escapes underscore char in order to be trated literally, ESCAPE '\' modifier indicates that escape char is '\'
In most of cases you will find contraints violations. In that case, this script can help you:
DECLARE
c_action CONSTANT VARCHAR2(10) := 'DROP';
BEGIN
FOR c IN ( SELECT table_name FROM user_tables WHERE table_name LIKE 'STARTINGTEXT_%' )
LOOP
FOR reg IN (SELECT uc.table_name,
uc.constraint_name
FROM user_constraints uc
WHERE uc.table_name IN (c.table_name)) LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE ' || reg.table_name || ' ' || c_action ||
' CONSTRAINT ' || reg.constraint_name ;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
FOR c IN ( SELECT table_name FROM user_tables WHERE table_name LIKE 'STARTINGTEXT_%' )
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCATE TABLE ' || c.table_name;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE ' || c.table_name;
END LOOP;
END;

Checking for the existence of a column in a view before searching for a value

I am trying to search every view in the database for a specific value of something like '%THIS%'
I came up with this plsql code
DECLARE
match_count INTEGER;
BEGIN
FOR t IN (SELECT name FROM user_dependencies where type = 'VIEW') LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '|| t.name || ' Where Column_Name LIKE ''%THIS%'' '
INTO match_count;
IF match_count > 0 THEN
dbms_output.put_line( t.name ||' '||match_count );
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
But when I try to run it, I get an invalid identifier error for the column name in the execute immeadiate query.
The problem to me is obvious that not every view has the Column_Name, but I can't figure out how I can check to see if the column exists before running the query as I loop through all of the views.
I was also able to use a slightly modified version of this to run through all of the tables, and while they do not all have that column, I did not run in to this issue.
Edit: I am including the plsql code that I was able to use to loop through the tables.
DECLARE
match_count INTEGER;
BEGIN
FOR t IN (SELECT table_name, column_name FROM all_tab_columns
where table_name LIKE 'THIS%' and data_type = 'VARCHAR2' AND column_name = 'Column_name') LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '||t.table_name || ' Where Column_name LIKE ''%THIS%'' '
INTO match_count;
IF match_count > 0 THEN
dbms_output.put_line( t.table_name ||' '||t.column_name||' '||match_count );
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
I'm assuming this is Oracle since you tagged pl/sql. You can use Oracle's metadata tables to see what columns a table/view has. Specifically USER_TAB_COLUMNS.
select count(*)
from user_tab_columns
where table_name = [name of view]
and column_name = [name of column]
This should query every view that has a column_name like '%START%'
declare
cursor getViews is
select table_name, column_name from user_tab_cols where table_name in
(select view_name from user_views)
and column_name like '%START%';
myResult number;
BEGIN
for i in getViews
LOOP
execute immediate 'select count(*) from '||i.table_name into myResult;
END LOOP;
END;

Oracle Nested cursors

I want to get the distinct dates in a column called "YMDH" from each table in a schema where that column exists. I figured that I needed to use nested cursors (something I've not done before) and came up with the following code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DistinctDates AS
sql_statement1 varchar2(200);
sql_statement2 varchar2(200);
results varchar2(15);
ColumnExist integer;
BEGIN
for cursor_rec in (SELECT * FROM user_objects WHERE object_type='TABLE'
AND object_name NOT LIKE 'TM%') loop
sql_statement1 := 'select count (*) from user_tab_columns where table_name=' || '''' || cursor_rec.object_name || '''' || ' and column_name=' || '''' ||'YMDH' || '''';
execute immediate sql_statement1 into ColumnExist;
if ColumnExist = 1 then
for inner_cursor_rec in (select distinct(ymdh) from cursor_rec.object_name) loop
null;
end loop;
end if;
end loop;
END DistinctDates;
SQL Developer is complaining about the select statement for the inner cursor. The error message is:
Error(18,32): PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
Error(18,70): PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
So it's not recognizing the reference to the outer cursor. How do I pass the table name (which is the cursor_rec.object_name) to the inner cursor?
You have used dynamic SQL where it is not needed, and have not used it where it is needed!
The check to see if the table has a column called 'YMDH' can be incorporated into the first query, giving this code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DistinctDates AS
sql_statement varchar2(200);
rc sys_refcursor;
ymdh_value ????; -- Appropriate data type
BEGIN
for cursor_rec in (SELECT t.table_name
FROM user_tables t
JOIN user_tab_columns c ON c.table_name = t.table_name
WHERE t.table_name NOT LIKE 'TM%'
AND c.column_name='YMDH')
loop
sql_statement := 'select distinct(ymdh) from ' || cursor_rec.table_name;
open rc for sql_statement;
loop
fetch rc into ymdh_value;
exit when rc%notfound;
null;
end loop;
close rc;
end loop;
END DistinctDates;

SQL Variable, How to do it?

I have this SQL:
DROP TABLE MISSINGTABLE;
CREATE TABLE MISSINGTABLE (
TABLE_NAME VARCHAR2 (70),
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2 (1000)
)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MISSINGTABLES AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO MISSINGTABLE
((((SELECT TABLE_NAME, 'Missing Table on PEKA_ERP_001' Description FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE OWNER = 'ASE_ERP_001')
MINUS
(SELECT TABLE_NAME, 'Missing Table on PEKA_ERP_001' Description FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE OWNER = 'PEKA_ERP_001'))
UNION
((SELECT TABLE_NAME, 'Missing Table on ASE_ERP_001' Description FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE OWNER = 'PEKA_ERP_001')
MINUS
(SELECT TABLE_NAME, 'Missing Table on ASE_ERP_001' Description FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE OWNER = 'ASE_ERP_001'))));
END;
So, how u can see, I'm creating a Table and then a Procedure, which fills the Table.
Now I want 2 Variables for these Arguments: 'PEKA_ERP_001' and 'ASE_ERP_001' (so I don't always need to write it manually, because this values changes a lot)
I tried this (included only the first part of above Statement):
DECLARE
S1 VARCHAR2(100) := 'ASE_ERP_001';
S2 VARCHAR2(100) := 'PEKA_ERP_001';
TableMissing VARCHAR(100) := 'Missing Table on ';
Apostrophe VARCHAR(10) := '''';
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MISSINGTABLES AS BEGIN INSERT INTO MISSINGTABLE (SELECT TABLE_NAME, ' || Apostrophe || TableMissing || S2 || Apostrophe || ' Description FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE OWNER = ' || Apostrophe || S1 || Apostrophe || ')' || ' END;');
END;
It creates The Procedure, but the Procedure contains the "CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE" itself and its showing me an error... (I cannot execute the Procedure)
Can anyone help me? How can I write the first SQL Statement at the Head which works, only with 2 Variables more, ASE_ERP_001 and PEKA_ERP_001 ?
EDIT:
Statement:
DECLARE
S1 VARCHAR2(100) := 'ASE_ERP_001';
S2 VARCHAR2(100) := 'PEKA_ERP_001';
TabelleFehlt VARCHAR(100) := 'Diese Tabelle fehlt ';
Hochkomma VARCHAR(10) := '''';
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MISSINGTABLES AS BEGIN INSERT INTO MISSINGTABLE (SELECT TABLE_NAME, ' || Hochkomma || TabelleFehlt || S2 || Hochkomma || ' Beschreibung FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE OWNER = ' || Hochkomma || S1 || Hochkomma || ') END;');
END;
The Statement Above Creates a Procedure.
But it also shows me this:
ORA-06512: in Row 7
24344. 00000 - "success with compilation error"
*Cause: A sql/plsql compilation error occurred.
*Action: Return OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO along with the error code
And The PROCEDURE Itselfs Contains this:
create or replace
PROCEDURE MISSINGTABLES AS BEGIN INSERT INTO MISSINGTABLE (SELECT TABLE_NAME, 'Diese Tabelle fehlt PEKA_ERP_001' Beschreibung FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE OWNER = 'ASE_ERP_001') END;
But it should not Contain "Create or Replace Procedure MISSINGTABLES" etc. only the INSERT STatement, I cannot execute the Procedure anyway..
even better would be to use the script from bpgergo, if it would go.
I hope I did not mix the arguments up, you should check them again
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MISSINGTABLES (p_1 in varchar2, p_2 in varchar2)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO MISSINGTABLE
((((SELECT TABLE_NAME, 'Missing Table on '||p_1 Description FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE OWNER = p_2)
MINUS
(SELECT TABLE_NAME, 'Missing Table on '||p_1 Description FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE OWNER = p_1))
UNION
((SELECT TABLE_NAME, 'Missing Table on '||p_2 Description FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE OWNER = p_1)
MINUS
(SELECT TABLE_NAME, 'Missing Table on '||p_2 Description FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE OWNER = p_2))));
END;
EDIT
you would call this like:
begin
MISSINGTABLES ('PEKA_ERP_001', 'ASE_ERP_001');
end;
The SQL that you are trying to execute immediate will be evaluated as:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MISSINGTABLES AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO MISSINGTABLE
(SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, 'Missing Table on PEKA_ERP_001' Beschreibung
FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE OWNER = 'ASE_ERP_001')
END;
This probably isn't the logic that you actually want, but the immediate problem is that you are trying to populate a non-existant third column called Beschreibung instead of populating the second column, DESCRIPTION .
Might I suggest an improvement to your SELECT?
Here's a possible alternative:
SELECT
TABLE_NAME,
'Missing Table on'
|| CASE MAX(OWNER) WHEN 'PEKA_ERP_001' THEN 'ASE_ERP_001' ELSE 'PEKA_ERP_001' END
AS Description
FROM ALL_TABLES
WHERE OWNER IN ('PEKA_ERP_001', 'ASE_ERP_001')
GROUP BY TABLE_NAME
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1
This query returns only rows where a TABLE_NAME has just one OWNER. The owner that is missing the table is then shown to be as the other one of the two being tested.
Using parameters, the entire CREATE PROCEDURE statement might look like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MISSINGTABLES
(
owner1 IN varchar2,
owner2 IN varchar2
)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO MISSINGTABLE
(
SELECT
TABLE_NAME,
'Missing Table on'
|| CASE MAX(OWNER) WHEN owner1 THEN owner2 ELSE owner1 END
AS Description
FROM ALL_TABLES
WHERE OWNER IN (owner1, owner2)
GROUP BY TABLE_NAME
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1
);
END;
