DBMS_LOB.APPEND File is getting cut because of concatenation - sql

I have the below block. I want to replace that concatenation and also have a records from the cursor in new line.
For small data set it works,but when the number of rows returned by the cursor is 600+ it cuts the file. I think its because of conversion of CLOB to Varchar2 when || is used.
How do I resolve it?
DECLARE
CURSOR cur IS
SELECT ID, CA_ID, STATUS,S_DATE, E_DATE FROM TEST; -- Here I have a big query
v_MESG CLOB := EMPTY_CLOB();
v_Interim CLOB := EMPTY_CLOB();
v_col VARCHAR2(500);
CRLF VARCHAR2(2) := CHR(13)||CHR(10);
v_fileHandler UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
v_col:= '"ID","CA_ID","Status","S_Date","E_Date"'||CRLF;
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_MESG, TRUE);
FOR v_cur IN cur LOOP
BEGIN
v_Interim := NULL;
v_Interim:= v_col||v_cur.ID||',"'||
v_cur.CA_ID||'","'||
v_cur.Status||'","'||
v_cur.S_Date||'","'||
v_cur.E_DATE||'"'||CRLF
;
DBMS_LOB.APPEND(v_mesg, v_Interim);
v_col := NULL;
END;
END LOOP;
v_fileHandler := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('XML_PROCESS_TEST',v_file_name , 'w');
UTL_FILE.PUT(v_fileHandler, v_MESG);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_fileHandler);
END;

The above stored procedure is working perfectly and I got the output by using the following script to run this stored procedure
exec run_query person_list;
Here stored_procedure_name is run_query and the table_name is person_list.
Now my question is that how can I use the WHERE clause after the select statement on "line 3" -
Select_Stmt VARCHAR2(100) := 'select * from '||p_tbl_name;
or are there any other ways I can use the where clause.
Thanks in advance.
Select_Stmt VARCHAR2(100) := 'select * from '||p_tbl_name||' where name=''david''';
You have to have the character delimiters; and since you have it inside quotes you have to duplicate them.

Handle a very large string in pl/sql script

I am trying to run below code which reads the index definition for table A so that it can be created again after I delete/create that in this script. This script runs fine when the returned value(ddl) is small but in other environments where the value is large with 140K characters in one row this script fails with below mentioned error. Please note that I cannot use spool in this case due to some restrictions. Could someone help on how to resolve this issue or suggest some another approach?
Thanks in advance.
"An arithmetic, numeric, string, conversion, or constraint error
occurred. For example, this error occurs if an attempt is made to
assign the value NULL to a variable declared NOT NULL, or if an
attempt is made to assign an integer larger than 99 to a variable
declared NUMBER(2)."
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
DECLARE
my_cursor SYS_REFCURSOR;
TYPE clob_array IS VARRAY(15) OF CLOB;
index_array clob_array := clob_array();
v_clob CLOB;
--index_array SYS.ODCIVARCHAR2LIST := SYS.ODCIVARCHAR2LIST();
BEGIN
OPEN my_cursor FOR 'select replace(dbms_metadata.get_ddl (''INDEX'', index_name), ''"C",'', '''')
from user_indexes
where table_name = ''A''';
LOOP FETCH my_cursor INTO v_clob;
EXIT WHEN my_cursor%NOTFOUND;

dbms_output.put_line(index_array(index_array.count));
END LOOP;
CLOSE my_cursor;
END;
/
I simulated this issue you are getting this error because of the dbms_output.put_line which displays the output.Try switching to UTL_FILE at the server side OR Try for any alternatives
By the way, the code can be simplified to:
declare
type clob_array is table of clob;
index_array clob_array := clob_array();
begin
for r in (
select replace(dbms_metadata.get_ddl('INDEX', index_name), '"C",') as index_ddl
from user_indexes
where table_name = 'A'
)
loop
index_array.extend;
index_array(index_array.count) := r.index_ddl;
dbms_output.put_line(substr(index_array(index_array.count), 1, 32767));
end loop;
end;
I used substr() to limit the value passed to dbms_output.put_line to its documented limit. You could probably work around it by splitting the text into smaller chunks, and maybe finding the position of the last blank space before position 32767 in order to avoid splitting a word.
Here's what I came up with:
declare
type clob_array is table of clob;
index_array clob_array := clob_array();
procedure put_line
( p_text clob )
is
max_len constant simple_integer := 32767;
line varchar2(max_len);
remainder clob := p_text;
begin
while dbms_lob.getlength(remainder) > max_len loop
line := dbms_lob.substr(remainder,max_len);
line := substr(line, 1, instr(line, ' ', -1));
remainder := substr(remainder, length(line) +1);
dbms_output.put_line(line);
end loop;
if length(trim(remainder)) > 0 then
dbms_output.put_line(remainder);
end if;
end put_line;
begin
for r in (
select replace(dbms_metadata.get_ddl('INDEX', index_name), '"C",') as index_ddl
from user_indexes
where table_name = 'A'
)
loop
index_array.extend;
index_array(index_array.count) := r.index_ddl;
put_line(index_array(index_array.count));
end loop;

plsql - dynamically change table name in cursor

i'm getting below error while running the procedure. is the select correct.. trying to pass table name as parameter. Pls help.
PLS-00364: loop index variable 'CURSOR1' use is invalid

END generate_uniqueId ;
Your PL/SQL code having many syntax issue.
You can pass the table name in cursor declaration in form of "from p_table_name".
CURSOR unique_id_cur
IS
SELECT /*PARALLEL(20)*/ unique_id
FROM p_table_name;
If you are using "VARCHAR2" data type then you have to provide the length of data should contain a variable. Also the string "ora11g/test/" should kept in single quota -'- as 'ora11g/test/'
V_file_parm Varchar2:= ora11g/test/;
The directory that you are passing, am not sure whether it is going to accept or not. But, should create a logical directly in Oracle using "CREATE DIRECTORY" and then pass the newly directory created in "UTL_FILE.FOPEN".
Here is the sample idea to create a procedure that will compile and work for you, create or real procedure like below.
create or replace PROCEDURE generate_uniqueId(p_table_name IN VARCHAR2 default 'abc')
as
CURSOR unique_id_cur
IS
SELECT object_id as unique_id
FROM all_tables
where rownum <=5;
v_file UTL_FILE.file_type;
V_file_name Varchar2(150);
V_file_parm Varchar2(200) := 'ora11g/test/';
v_output varchar2(200);
BEGIN
v_file_name := p_table_name || '.lst';
v_file := UTL_FILE.fopen ('ora11g/test/', 'unique_ID_file', 'A');
FOR cursor1 IN unique_id_cur
LOOP
BEGIN
v_output := cursor1.unique_id;
UTL_FILE.put_line (v_file, v_output);
END;
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.fflush (v_file);
UTL_FILE.fclose (v_file);
END generate_uniqueId ;
EDIT-1
create or replace PROCEDURE generate_uniqueId(p_table_name IN VARCHAR2 default 'abc')
as
type t1 is table of varchar2(255) index by pls_integer;
v_unique_ids t1;
v_sql varchar2(4000);

execute immediate v_sql bulk collect into v_unique_ids;
FOR cursor1 IN v_unique_ids.first..v_unique_ids.last

Creating a table from a Comma Separated List in Oracle (> 11g) - Input string limit 4000 chars

I have an Oracle (11g) SP which takes a comma separated string of inputs (e.g. 'Cats, Dogs, Monkeys'). The crux of the code is taken from Tony Andrews' blog and works as expected but it will not accept input strings greater than 4000 characters:
PROCEDURE delimstring_to_table ( p_delimstring IN VARCHAR2
, p_table OUT VARCHAR2_TABLE
, p_nfields OUT INTEGER
, p_delim IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ','
)
IS
v_string VARCHAR2(32767) := p_delimstring;
v_nfields PLS_INTEGER := 1;
v_table VARCHAR2_TABLE;
v_delimpos PLS_INTEGER := INSTR(p_delimstring, p_delim);
v_delimlen PLS_INTEGER := LENGTH(p_delim);
BEGIN
WHILE v_delimpos > 0
LOOP
v_table(v_nfields) := SUBSTR(v_string,1,v_delimpos-1);
v_string := SUBSTR(v_string,v_delimpos+v_delimlen);
v_nfields := v_nfields+1;
v_delimpos := INSTR(v_string, p_delim);
END LOOP;
v_table(v_nfields) := v_string;
p_table := v_table;
p_nfields := v_nfields;
END delimstring_to_table;
Reference - Tony Andrews Blog
The functions above are then used inside any relevant SPs within the package:
PROCEDURE Get_Animals(
p_Animals IN VARCHAR2 := NULL
, resultset_out OUT resultset_typ
, error_out OUT VARCHAR2
)
IS
BEGIN
IF p_Animals IS NULL THEN
OPEN resultset_out FOR
SELECT /*+ ALL_ROWS */ * FROM ANIMALS ORDER BY NAME;
ELSE
OPEN resultset_out FOR
SELECT * FROM ANIMALS where NAME in (SELECT * FROM TABLE (Comma_To_Table(p_RICs)));
END IF;
error_out := NULL;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
error_out := 'Get_Animals() -> ' || SUBSTR(SQLERRM,1,200);
END Get_Animals;
If the input string is > 4000 characters, I get the following error from the SP:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01003: no statement parsed - GET_ANIMALS
I have two questions:
Can I make the function work with input strings greater than 4000 characters?
Is there a more effective way of achieving the same result?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Yes, you can use for example CLOB
Is there a more effective way of achieving the same result?
I saw in the comments of the blog a good answer, which is about a recursive solution.
just make some datatype changes for making it to work e.g.:
change the varchar2_table type to CLOB
TYPE varchar2_table IS TABLE OF CLOB INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
change the VARCHAR2 datatype to CLOB in all p_delimstring occurences
change original SUBSTR functions to DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR

Dynamically Identify Table (Table Identified by Variable)

I'm trying to create a procedure that will allow me to write an existing row to another table dynamically but the row declaration and insert-statement in the following snippet don't work. The error message indicates that the view hasn't been identified although outputting the target_table.table_name works just fine.
More will be added to the block later on - such as a column with the operation (e.g. INSERT or UPDATE). This is just a simple example and the last procedure (pass_reference) is used to trigger the procedure.
Any help would be much appreciated.

please check this code, it's not working only as for example, as you see for working columns in your cursor should be named as columns in destination table.
