I'm trying to create a table and then insert some values in it within the same procedure in pl/sql. I tried to run the following query without success:
create or replace Procedure insertval8(id_no in number,e_name in char)
is
begin
execute immediate 'create table edu2(id number(20), name char(12))';
insert into edu2 values(&id_no,&e_name);
end;
displays
LINE/COL ERROR
-------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
5/1 PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
5/13 PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exists
The error persists until I remove the insert code.
The procedure cannot be compiled because the table is not present at compile time.
Wrap the insert in execute immediate also, or use a global temporary table (generaly the preferred solution for temporary data).
create or replace procedure insertval8 (id in number,
name in char )
is
begin
execute immediate 'create table edu2(id number(20), name char(12))';
execute immediate 'insert into edu2(id, name) values (:1, :2)'
using id, name;
end;

I have a table like having one column containing this data
Dummy Column
Alter PACKAGE ABC COMPILE;
Alter PACKAGE CDE COMPILE;
Alter PROCEDURE ABC COMPILE;
Alter TRIGGER ABC COMPILE;
I want to make a script such that when i run that it will execute the alter statements line by line and perform the DDL operations.
Something like this should work, obviously assuming you have real DDL statements stored in that dummy column.
for loop over the column when the value is not null
replace the ; by nothing in order to use execute immediate
Example
declare
vsql table.dummy_column%type;
begin
for h in ( select dummy_column from table where dummy_column is not null )
loop
vsql := replace(h.dummy_column,';','');
execute immediate vsql;
end loop;
end;

I am trying to create table with procedure CREATE_TABLE and then insert the information into the created table with procedure PRINT_INFO but I am getting an exception:
Errors: PROCEDURE PRINT_INFO Line/Col: 4/3 PL/SQL: SQL Statement
ignored Line/Col: 4/15 PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Errors: PROCEDURE CREATE_TABLE Line/Col: 5/3 PLS-00103: Encountered
the symbol "CREATE" when expecting one of the following:
( begin case declare exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise
return select update while with << continue close current
delete fetch lock insert open rollback savepoint set sql execute
commit forall merge pipe purge json_exists json_value json_query
json_object json_array
And here is my code example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PRINT_INFO
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TABLE_T (TABLE_ID, MESSAGE) VALUES (1, 'Hello World!');
END PRINT_INFO;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CREATE_TABLE
IS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE TABLE_T(
TABLE_ID NUMBER NOT NULL,
MESSAGE VARCHAR2(25),
PRIMARY KEY(TABLE_ID)
);
PRINT_INFO;
END CREATE_TABLE;
/
EXEC CREATE_TABLE;
Where could be the problem? How can I get rid of an exception?
Both procedures have to use dynamic SQL:
print_info because it inserts into a table which - at compilation time - doesn't exist yet
create_table because it runs DDL and - in order to do that - you need to use dynamic SQL
Therefore:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PRINT_INFO
2 IS
3 BEGIN
4 execute immediate q'[INSERT INTO TABLE_T (TABLE_ID, MESSAGE) VALUES (1, 'Hello World!')]';
5 END PRINT_INFO;
6 /
Procedure created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CREATE_TABLE
2 IS
3 BEGIN
4 execute immediate 'CREATE TABLE TABLE_T(' ||
5 'TABLE_ID NUMBER NOT NULL, ' ||
6 ' MESSAGE VARCHAR2(25), ' ||
7 ' PRIMARY KEY(TABLE_ID) ' ||
8 ')';
9
10 PRINT_INFO;
11 END CREATE_TABLE;
12 /
Procedure created.
SQL> EXEC CREATE_TABLE;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT * FROM table_t;
TABLE_ID MESSAGE
---------- -------------------------
1 Hello World!
SQL>
You have to declare a string and assign your ddl to that variable then use
execute immediate your_variable ;
Since my school does not allow me to post the code, hence i had to come back home and put up an example to show the issue i am facing. My school asked me to do a homework on dynamic sql to create a table and later insert one dummy record to it. But while doing it I am facing the below issue. Please find the code below for your reference. Thank you.
Procedure:
create or replace procedure table_creation(table_name in varchar2,col1 varchar2,col2 varchar2)
is
l_stat varchar2(3000);
v_stat varchar2(1000);
a varchar2(10):='1';
b varchar2(10):='Dummy';
begin
l_stat:='create table '||table_name||' ("'||col1||'" varchar2(10),"'||col2||'" varchar2(10))';
execute immediate l_stat;
execute immediate 'insert into '||table_name||'('||col1||','||col2||') values (:x,:y)' using a,b;
end;
/
Plsql Block to call the procedure:
set serveroutput on;
declare
a varchar2(10);
b varchar2(10);
c varchar2(10);
begin
a:='Example';
b:='id';
c:='nm';
table_creation(a,b,c);
dbms_output.put_line('Yes');
end;
/
The procedure is getting created perfectly and while running the above block i am getting the below error .
declare
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "NM": invalid identifier
ORA-06512: at "SYS.TABLE_CREATION", line 9
ORA-06512: at line 9
But when I checked the created table. The table exists with 0 records. The structure of the table is as follows.
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ---------------
ID VARCHAR2(10)
NM VARCHAR2(10)
Any help from your end is much appreciated.
Nick,
Please note that the above procedure will create the column with a double qoutes ("ID","NM") hence the error occurred. Please find the updated code and check if the issue has resolved.
According to oracle=>
Oracle is case sensitive in column and table names. It just converts everything to upper case by default. But if you use names in double quotes, you tell Oracle to create the column in the exact spelling you provided (lower case in the CREATE statement).
Code:
create or replace procedure table_creation(table_name in varchar2,col1 varchar2,col2 varchar2)
is
l_stat varchar2(3000);
v_stat varchar2(1000);
a varchar2(10):='1';
b varchar2(10):='Dummy';
begin
l_stat:='create table '||table_name||' ('||col1||' varchar2(10),'||col2||' varchar2(10))';
execute immediate l_stat;
execute immediate 'insert into '||table_name||'('||col1||','||col2||') values (:x,:y)' using a,b;
end;
/
Note: I have not touched any other logic of the code. Please try and let us know the result.
Only change is
From :
l_stat:='create table '||table_name||' ("'||col1||'" varchar2(10),"'||col2||'" varchar2(10))';
to :
l_stat:='create table '||table_name||' ('||col1||' varchar2(10),'||col2||' varchar2(10))';
I send a parameter in my PLSQL function which is the name of the Table.
In my code, I want to insert into the table that is being received in the parameter.
When I type the insert statement
insert into TABLE_VARIABLE_NAME
VALUES (1, 2, 3);
It gives the error of Table Doesn't exist.
How can I use Table's Name as the parameter of the function?
Here is the full demo code you can try it and even the above hint is absolutely correct ,i just elaborated it more with insert values as varchar2 :-
create table td (valued varchar2(10));
create or replace procedure dhar_conn(tname varchar2)
as
begin
execute immediate 'insert into '||tname||' values(''1'')';
commit;
end;/
execute dhar_conn('td')
You'll need dynamic SQL with execute immediate.
execute immediate 'insert into ' || l_var_name || 'values (1,2,3)'
I want to create a table inside of a procedure. I tried to put the create query in a string then execute immediate the string. For example:
create or replace procedure hr.temp is
var1 varchar2(4000);
begin
var1:='create table hr.temp(
id number)';
execute immediate var1;
end temp;
But when I execute this procedure I get the error:
ORA-00911: invalid character
ORA-06512: at "SYS.TEMP", line 6
.
.
.
Is there any way I can do this?
Try this. It should work...
create or replace procedure hr.temp is
var1 varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
var1:='create table hr.temp2(
id number)';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE var1;
end temp;
the answer of m.r 'a_horse_with_no_name' is right. The first point is I should not create a table in sys schema.
The second point is in a dynamic sql I should not use ; character in dynamic sql.
