EXECUTE IMMEDIATE PL/SQL? - sql

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER P88
AFTER INSERT ON reparation
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
vope number;
BEGIN
SELECT observation_reparation into vope from repartion;
if(vope IS NULL)THEN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE ' || reparation.observations_Reparation || ' MODIFY libelle_piece NVARCHAR2(50)';
END IF;
END;
/
I get this:
error:table or view does not exist.

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER P88
AFTER INSERT ON reparation
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
vope number;
BEGIN
SELECT observation_reparation into vope from repartion;
if(vope IS NULL)THEN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE reparation RENAME COLUMN observations_Reparation TO libelle_piece';
END IF;
END;
if you also need to change the declaration of the column you will need another ALTER statement
alter table reparation modify (libelle_piece NVARCHAR2(50))

Oracle Cursor within a Package not working - ORA 06512

I am trying to build a package that will take in a table of table names and either drop from or delete those tables. I am using dynamic sql, and dropping or deleting the tables works, but I need both the procedures to loop through all of the table names passed back to it.
I've tried mulitple ways - including trying to create a FOR Loop and a cursor. Here is a similar function I wrote in PostgreSQL that works but I'm having trouble translating it to Oracle.
Here is my function in PostgreSQL that works:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION drop_tables_for_stnd_mod_build(tablenames text)
RETURNS void
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $function$
DECLARE
tab_name RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR tab_name IN EXECUTE 'SELECT table_name FROM ' || tablenames
LOOP
EXECUTE 'DROP TABLE ' || tab_name.table_name || ' CASCADE';
END LOOP;
END;
$function$
;
And the procedure I'm writing as part of a package in Oracle
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY stnd_build_table_cleanup
AS
PROCEDURE drop_tables(table_in CLOB)
IS
TYPE cur_type is REF CURSOR;
c cur_type;
query_string VARCHAR(300);
loop_string VARCHAR(300);
table_name VARCHAR(100);
BEGIN
loop_string := 'SELECT tablenames FROM :table';
OPEN c FOR loop_string USING table_in;
LOOP
FETCH c INTO table_name;
query_string := 'DROP TABLE ' || table_name || ' CASCADE CONSTRAINTS';
-- dbms_output.PUT_LINE (query_string);
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE query_string;
EXIT WHEN c%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP ;
CLOSE c;
END drop_tables;
Here is the error I get when I try to call my function: Error report -
ORA-00903: invalid table name
ORA-06512: at "AMS_NYS.STND_BUILD_TABLE_CLEANUP", line 13
ORA-06512: at line 2
00903. 00000 - "invalid table name"
*Cause:
*Action:
Thanks!
Here's one possibility. Note that I coded this as a standalone procedure for simplicity.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE table_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(128);
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE drop_tables(tables_to_drop_in table_type)
IS
BEGIN
FOR i IN tables_to_drop_in.FIRST .. tables_to_drop_in.LAST LOOP
--DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(tables_to_drop_in(i));
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE ' || tables_to_drop_in(i) || ' CASCADE CONSTRAINTS';
END LOOP;
END drop_tables;
DECLARE
tables_to_drop table_type;
BEGIN
tables_to_drop := table_type('TBL1','TBL2', 'TBL3');
drop_tables(tables_to_drop);
END;

Oracle procedure/function to create a trigger in table

I'm trying to create a procedure that given a table name, it will create a sequence and auto incrementing trigger, all using variables based on the table name.
Code :
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure CREATE_SEQUENTIAL_TR(table_name VARCHAR)
is -- Tried using declare but it wouldn't accept
coluna_cod varchar(100 char);
begin
--Finding the cod column name for this table first
--They start with "PK_CD"
select
COLUMN_NAME
into
coluna_cod
from
ALL_TAB_COLUMNS
where
TABLE_NAME=table_name
and COLUMN_NAME like "PK_CD%";
--Creating the sequence obj
drop sequence "cod" || table_name;
create sequence "cod" || table_name;
--Now creating the trigger
create or replace trigger "cod" || table_name || "tr"
before
UPDATE or INSERT on table_name
for each row
declare
cod number := coluna_cod;
tr_name varchar(100 char) := "cod" || table_name
begin
if UPDATING then
if :new.cod != :old.cod then
:new.cod := :old.cod;
end if;
else -- inserting
:new.cod := tr_name.nextval();
end if;
end;
end;
The complexity of this ended up quite out of the scope of my knowledge.
At the moment it is giving an error on drop sequence "cod" || table_name (Unexpected DROP symbol found) but I'm sure I have made other errors.
Can someone help me figure this logic out?
You can't put DDL statements (like drop or create or alter) directly inside a PL/SQL block. If you want to do DDL inside PL/SQL, you can do an execute immediate:
declare
begin
drop sequence X; -- error
execute immediate 'drop sequence X'; -- works fine
end;

Oracle SQL - If Exists, Drop Table & Create

Can some one please guide me what's wrong with this query? In SQL Server we just check the presence of the Object_ID of a table to drop it and re-create it. I am new to Oracle and wrote this query:
declare Table_exists INTEGER;
BEGIN
Select count(*) into Table_exists from sys.all_tables where table_name='TABLENAME1';
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
Table_Exists :=0;
if(table_exists)=1
Then
Execute Immediate 'Drop Table TABLENAME1;'
'Create Table TABLENAME1;';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Table Dropped and Re-Created!');
Else
Execute Immediate 'Create Table TABLENAME1;';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('New Table Created!');
END IF;
END;
I get the output - ANONYMOUS BLOCK COMPLETED, but the table is not created. The table was previously existing, so I dropped it to check if the PL/SQL is actually creating the table, but NO. What is wrong here? What am I missing? Please guide.
When you are using all_tables filter the results for your
schema by adding where owner = 'your_schema'
or use sys.user_tables
ALL_TABLES describes the relational tables accessible to the current user
USER_TABLES describes the relational tables owned by the current user.
When use execute_emmidiate remove the ; from the query;
Modified query;
DECLARE
Table_exists INTEGER;
BEGIN
Select count(*) into Table_exists from sys.user_tables where table_name='TABLENAME1';
--or
--Select count(*) into Table_exists from sys.all_tables
--where table_name='TABLENAME1' and owner = 'your_DB';
if table_exists = 1 Then
Execute Immediate 'Drop Table TABLENAME1';
Execute Immediate 'Create Table TABLENAME1(num number)';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Table Dropped and Re-Created!');
Else
Execute Immediate 'Create Table TABLENAME1(num number)';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('New Table Created!');
END IF;
END;
First note:
Select count(*) into Table_exists
from sys.all_tables
where table_name = 'TABLENAME1';
will always return one row. You don't need the exception handling.
My best guess is that you have more than one table called TABLENAME1. Run this query to find out:
Select *
from sys.all_tables
where table_name = 'TABLENAME1';
Oracle stores tables from all owners that you can access. You might also want to check OWNER_NAME in the where clause.
However, you seem to understand exception handling. So, just drop the table, ignore any errors, and then recreate the table.
The EXCEPTION clause lasts till the next END and not just the next statement. If you want to continue after catching the exception you need to add an additional BEGIN/END:
declare
Table_exists INTEGER;
BEGIN
BEGIN
Select count(*) into Table_exists from sys.all_tables where table_name='TABLENAME1';
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
Table_Exists :=0;
END;
if(table_exists)=1 Then
Execute Immediate 'Drop Table TABLENAME1;'
Execute Immediate 'Create Table TABLENAME1;';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Table Dropped and Re-Created!');
Else
Execute Immediate 'Create Table TABLENAME1;';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('New Table Created!');
END IF;
END;
As pointed out by Gordon, the EXCEPTION clause is not really needed in this case since count(*) will always return one row. So the following is sufficient:
declare
Table_exists INTEGER;
BEGIN
Select count(*) into Table_exists from sys.all_tables where table_name='TABLENAME1';
if(table_exists)=1 Then
Execute Immediate 'Drop Table TABLENAME1;'
Execute Immediate 'Create Table TABLENAME1;';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Table Dropped and Re-Created!');
Else
Execute Immediate 'Create Table TABLENAME1;';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('New Table Created!');
END IF;
END;

checking if table exists function

Can you help me rectify this block of code plz?
`CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TABLE_EXISTS(name VARCHAR(50))
RETURNS BOOLEAN
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE counttable INTEGER;
SELECT COUNT(1) INTO counttable FROM USER_TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME=name;
if counttable=0 then
return false
else
return true
end if;
END;
/
IF (TABLE_EXISTS("LEADS_DELETED")) then
DROP TABLE LEADS_DELETED;
end if;
/
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE LEADS_DELETED
(
ID NUMBER(19),
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS`
You can use a construct like this when you want to create or recreate a table (try to drop and catch the ORA-00942 exception that gets thrown when the object doesn't exist):
DECLARE
table_does_not_exist exception;
pragma exception_init(table_does_not_exist, -942);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE LEADS_DELETED';
EXCEPTION
WHEN table_does_not_exist THEN
NULL;
END;
/
CREATE TABLE ...
You have double quotes aroung your table name "LEADS_DELETED" should be 'LEADS_DELETED'.
I'd also wrap the table_name in your query with UPPER(table_name) too.
You also need to put the DROP TABLE command inside an EXECUTE IMMEDIATE wrapper.
You declare your variable in the wrog place too, it needs to be declared before the BEGIN clause.
CREATE OR REPLACE
FUNCTION TABLE_EXISTS(name VARCHAR(50))
RETURNS BOOLEAN
AS
counttable INTEGER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(1)
INTO counttable
FROM USER_TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME=UPPER(name);
if counttable=0
then
return false
else
return true
end if;
END;
/
-- I suggest you use a bind variable instead of the literal table name.
IF TABLE_EXISTS('LEADS_DELETED')
THEN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE LEADS_DELETED';
END IF;
/
-- Could be
IF table_exists(v_table_name)
THEN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE :tablename'
USING v_table_name;
END IF;

Dynamic SQL within cursor

My dynamic sql below to alter a table & create columns based on the output of a query is giving error.
Query :
DECLARE
CURSOR c1 is select distinct WP_NO from temp;
cnum VARCHAR2(255);
BEGIN
FOR cnum in c1
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'Alter table temp_col add (:1 varchar2(255))' using cnum;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
Error :
PLS-00457: expressions have to be of SQL types
This is happening because bind variables are not allowed in DDL statements.
Consider trying it without using the bind variable:
DECLARE
CURSOR c1 is select distinct WP_NO from temp;
cnum VARCHAR2(255);
BEGIN
FOR cnum in c1
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'Alter table temp_col add ('|| cnum ||' varchar2(255))';
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
You have a conflict with the cnum symbol, which you use both as a local variable and for the current row of the cursor.
You probably want this:
DECLARE
CURSOR c1 is select distinct WP_NO from temp;
BEGIN
FOR current_row in c1
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'Alter table temp_col add (:1 varchar2(255))' using current_row.WP_NO;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
As you can see, you don't need to declare the current_row variable that you use in the for loop.
