I want to write a stored procedure that grabs all of the tables in a schema that have a column called "ID" , once I have those tables I want to output the counts of unique IDs within each table.
ex.
table1
table2
Output:
I have the latter portion implemented but the first part I'm having difficulties with. Here's my script so far:
create or replace PROCEDURE get_id_counts
IS
BEGIN
FOR table_n in (SELECT * FROM dba_tables) LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT ID, COUNT(*) FROM MySchema.' || table_n.table_name || ' GROUP BY ID';
END LOOP;
END;
/
execute get_id_counts;
Currently I receive the error : "%s: invalid identifier", I assume this is caused by the fact that not all of the tables in the schema have the column "ID"
Assuming that your database is Oracle
Use the dba_tab_columns to get only those which has ID column
So extend your query from
SELECT * FROM dba_tables
to
SELECT * FROM dba_tables where table_name in (select table_name from dba_tab_columns where column_name = 'ID');

I'm trying to do the same exercise for both SQLite and Oracle. In SQLite, there is a table sqlite_master containing a description of all of the other tables, indexes, triggers, and views that are contained within the database. I can see the query to generate sqlite_master with .schema sqlite_master.
In Oracle, the data dictionary is presented to us in the form of a number of views (DBA, ALL or USER). Let's take the table USER_TABLES as an example. We can do query on USER_TABLES, for example
SELECT table_name
FROM USER_TABLES;
Is there anyway to get the query used to create the table USER_TABLES in Oracle? I tried
SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'USER_TABLES')
FROM dual;
but it does not work.
I am not sure what are you looking for but if you want the definition of any table in oracle you can use :
Describe TableName
Or if you want to have list of tables, views or columns you can use below queries:
For Tables :
select * from select * from all_tables
For Columns :
select * from all_tab_columns
For Views :
select * from select * from all_views
To get all the column information of a table:
select *
from all_tab_columns
where upper(table_name) = upper('Test')
order by column_id
Typically oracle stores table_name in uppercase so I used upper() or you can just type 'TEST'
You could use this one:
DECLARE
DDL CLOB;
BEGIN
FOR aTab IN (SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_TABLES) LOOP
DDL := DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE', aTab.TABLE_NAME);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(DDL);
END LOOP;
END;
You may customize the output with DBMS_METADATA.SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM() before you run the query.
I am trying to derive a table with counts from multiple tables. The tables are not on my schema. The table names on the schema that I am interested in all start with 'STAF_' and end with '_TS'. The criteria i am looking for is where SEP = 'MO'. So for example, the query in its base form is:
select area, count(SEP) areacount
from mous.STAF_0001_TS
where SEP = 'MO'
group by area;
I have about 1000 tables that i'd like to do this for.
Ultimatly, I'd like the output to be a table on my schema that looks like the following:
area| areacount
0001| 3
0002| 7
0003| 438
Thank you.
As a first step I'd write an SQL query that generates an SQL query:
SELECT 'SELECT area, count(*) FROM '||c.table_name||'UNION ALL' as run_me
FROM all_tables c
WHERE c.table_name LIKE 'STAF\_%\_MS' escape '\'
Running this will produce an output that is another SQL query. Copy the result text out of your results grid and paste it back into your query pane. Delete the final UNION ALL and run it
Once you dig how to write an SQL query that generate an SQL query, you can look at turning it into a view, or creating a dynamic query in a string.
Gotta say, this is a horrible way to store data; you'd be better off using ONE table with an extra column containing whatever is in xxx of STAF_xxx_MS right now
In Oracle 12c, you can embed a FUNCTION that will query the number of rows in any given table. Then you can use that function in your main query. Here is an example:
WITH FUNCTION cnt ( p_owner VARCHAR2, p_table_name VARCHAR2 ) RETURN NUMBER IS
l_cnt NUMBER;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT count(*) INTO :cnt FROM ' || p_owner || '.' || p_table_name INTO l_cnt;
RETURN l_cnt;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN NULL; -- This will happen for entries in ALL_TABLES that are not directly accessible (e.g., IOT overflow tables)
END cnt;
SELECT t.owner, t.table_name, cnt(t.owner, t.table_name)
FROM all_tables t
where t.table_Name like 'STAF\_%\_MS' escape '\';
I am trying to find how many occurrences of a particular value there are in a particular column in an Oracle database. The column is used in dozens of tables and I'm going to have to run the queries many times, so I don't want to query each table individually. I can get a list of the tables to search with something like:
Select table_name from all_tab_cols
join all_tables using (table_name)
where column_name = 'EmployeeId' and num_rows > 0
The next step is to iterate through that list of table names and output each table that contains a particular value in the EmployeeId column. For example, output might be something like:
**Table Name Column_name # Rows for EmployeeId = '123456'**
Table 1 EmployeeId 1
Table 2 EmployeeId 12
etc.
I'm not a developer and don't have experience using cursors in SQL scripts, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
try using CURSOR FOR LOOP.
Probably it may look as shown below (not tried).
BEGIN
FOR item IN
(Select table_name,column_name,num_rows from all_tab_cols
join all_tables using (table_name)
where column_name = 'EmployeeId' and num_rows > 0)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
(item.table_name || ' ' || item.column_name ||' '||item.num_rows);
END LOOP;
END;
I have the following table name template, there are a couple with the same name and a number at the end: fmj.backup_semaforo_geo_THENUMBER, for example:
select * from fmj.backup_semaforo_geo_06391442
select * from fmj.backup_semaforo_geo_06398164
...
Lets say I need to select a column from every table which succeeds with the 'fmj.backup_semaforo_geo_%' filter, I tried this:
SELECT calle --This column is from the backup_semaforo_geo_# tables
FROM (SELECT table_name
FROM all_tables
WHERE owner = 'FMJ' AND table_name LIKE 'BACKUP_SEMAFORO_GEO_%');
But I'm getting the all_tables tables name data:
TABLE_NAME
----------
BACKUP_SEMAFORO_GEO_06391442
BACKUP_SEMAFORO_GEO_06398164
...
How can I achieve that without getting the all_tables output?
Thanks.
Presumably your current query is getting ORA-00904: "CALLE": invalid identifier, because the subquery doesn't have a column called CALLE. You can't provide a table name to a query at runtime like that, unfortunately, and have to resort to dynamic SQL.
Something like this will loop through all the tables and for each one will get all the values of CALLE from each one, which you can then loop through. I've used DBMS_OUTPUT to display them, assuming you're doing this in SQL*Plus or something that can deal with that; but you may want to do something else with them.
set serveroutput on
declare
-- declare a local collection type we can use for bulk collect; use any table
-- that has the column, or if there isn't a stable one use the actual data
-- type, varchar2(30) or whatever is appropriate
type t_values is table of table.calle%type;
-- declare an instance of that type
l_values t_values;
-- declare a cursor to generate the dynamic SQL; where this is done is a
-- matter of taste (can use 'open x for select ...', then fetch, etc.)
-- If you run the query on its own you'll see the individual selects from
-- all the tables
cursor c1 is
select table_name,
'select calle from ' || owner ||'.'|| table_name as query
from all_tables
where owner = 'FMJ'
and table_name like 'BACKUP_SEMAFORO_GEO%'
order by table_name;
begin
-- loop around all the dynamic queries from the cursor
for r1 in c1 loop
-- for each one, execute it as dynamic SQL, with a bulk collect into
-- the collection type created above
execute immediate r1.query bulk collect into l_values;
-- loop around all the elements in the collection, and print each one
for i in 1..l_values.count loop
dbms_output.put_line(r1.table_name ||': ' || l_values(i));
end loop;
end loop;
end;
/
May be a dynamic SQL in a PLSQL program;
for a in (SELECT table_name
FROM all_tables
WHERE owner = 'FMJ' AND table_name LIKE 'BACKUP_SEMAFORO_GEO_%')
LOOP
sql_stmt := ' SELECT calle FROM' || a.table_name;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_stmt;
...
...
END LOOP;
Hi everyone what I'm wondering if I can do is create a table that lists the record counts of other tables. It would get those table names from a table. So let's assume I have the table TABLE_LIST that looks like this
name
---------
sports_products <-- contains 10 records
house_products <-- contains 8 records
beauty_products <-- contains 15 records
I would like to write a statement that pulls the names from those tables to query them and coount the records and ultimately produce this table
name numRecords
------------------------------
sports_products 10
house_products 8
beauty_products 15
So I think I would need to do something like this pseudo code
select *
from foreach tableName in select name from table_list
select count(*) as numRecords
from tableName
loop
You can have a function that is doing this for you via dynamic sql.
However, make sure to declare it as authid current_user. You do not want anyone to gain some sort of privilege elevation by exploiting your function.
create or replace function SampleFunction
(
owner in VarChar
,tableName in VarChar
) return integer authid current_user is
result Integer;
begin
execute immediate 'select count(*) from "' || owner || '"."' || tableName || '"'
INTO result;
return result;
end;
One option is to simply keep your DB statistics updated, use dbms_stats package or EM, and then
select num_rows
from all_tables
where table_name in (select name from table_list);
I think Robert Giesecke solution will work fine.
A more exotic way of solving this is by using dbms_xmlgen.getxml.
