I am trying to execute the above command and it's compiling successfully but I am not able to see the output for the same.
If you are doing it in SQL*Plus, then SET SERVEROUTPUT ON is what you need to do first.
If you are using any GUI based client tool, then check the option to enable dbms_output
And use, DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
Edit : See this test case.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sqr(n IN NUMBER, res OUT NUMBER)

BEGIN
res:= n*n;
Dbms_Output.PUT_LINE(res);

I'm new to SQL, trying to create a query to square a number using procedure i dont know how to do it. i was able to come with code above but for some reason i cant connect to DB!
Help needed. (ignore if there are any mistakes in my que framing)
Code you wrote is ... well, not that bad. With some changes, it works:
SQL> SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sqr(n IN NUMBER, res OUT NUMBER)
2 IS
3 BEGIN
4 res:= n*n;
5 END;
6 /
Procedure created.
SQL> DECLARE
2 ans NUMBER;
3 BEGIN
4 sqr(15, ans);
5 Dbms_Output.PUT_LINE(ans);
6 END;
7 /
225
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Though, you'd rather create a function (instead of a procedure):
SQL> create or replace function f_sqr (n in number)
2 return number
3 is
4 begin
5 return n*n;
6 end;
7 /
Function created.
SQL> select f_sqr(15) ans from dual;
ANS
----------
225
SQL>
But, nothing of that matters because you said
for some reason i cant connect to DB!
That's the real problem, and you shared absolutely no information about it. Which tool did you use? Do you have a database at all? Where is it? On your own computer or on a server (available to you through the network)? How exactly did you try to connect? What did Oracle say?
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FN_MULTAS_TOTAL
RETURN INTEGER
IS
V_TOTAL INT;
BEGIN
SELECT SUM(MULTA)
INTO V_TOTAL
FROM DETALLE_ARRIENDO;
RETURN V_TOTAL;
END;
im working on SQL Developer 11 and i have to call it with
exec FN_MULTAS_TOTAL;
and get an integer value
No problem with such a function:
SQL> create or replace function fn_multas_total
2 return integer
3 is
4 v_total int;
5 begin
6 select sum(multa)
7 into v_total
8 from detalle_arriendo;
9 return v_total;
10 end;
11 /
Function created.
However, you don't call it with exec - it is used in SQL*Plus or SQL Developer or some other tools which support it; it is a "shortcut" for an anonymous begin-end PL/SQL block:
SQL> exec p_test
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> begin
2 p_test;
3 end;
4 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
It is used for procedures, not functions. You can't just
SQL> begin
2 detalle_arriendo;
3 end;
4 /
detalle_arriendo;

ORA-06550: line 2, column 3:
PLS-00221: 'DETALLE_ARRIENDO' is not a procedure or is undefined

which means that you have to declare a variable and fetch function's result into it, e.g.
SQL> declare
2 l_result number;
3 begin
4 l_result := fn_multas_total;
5 end;

Usually, we use functions as

Need your or guidance on how I can execute a select on multiple databases provided in the list. the goal behind this code is to query multiple remote databases and insert the output in current database.
Need to db_link to be fetched from a list or table
insert into xxxx.DB_tracker value(SELECT d.name FROM v$database#**opXXX_du**);
Dynamic SQL.
Suppose that database links are stored in the link table:
SQL> select * From links;
LINK
---------
dbl_ora10
dbl_ora11
dbl_orcl
You'd then use a loop, create an insert statement and execute it. As I don't have those database links, I'm just displaying statements to the screen. You'd uncomment the execute immediate line.
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> declare
2 l_str varchar2(200);
3 begin
4 for cur_r in (select link from links) loop
5 l_str := 'insert into db_tracker ' ||
6 'select name from v$database#' || cur_r.link;
7 dbms_output.put_line(l_str);
8
9 -- execute immediate l_str;
10 end loop;
11 end;
12 /
insert into db_tracker select name from v$database#dbl_ora10
insert into db_tracker select name from v$database#dbl_ora11
insert into db_tracker select name from v$database#dbl_orcl
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>
If you want to actually select name and display it on the screen, then you need the into clause. Something like this:
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL>
SQL> declare
2 l_name varchar2(30);
3 begin
4 for cur_r in (select link from links) loop
5 execute immediate 'select name from v$database#' || cur_r.link
6 into l_name;
7 dbms_output.put_line(l_name);
8 end loop;
9 end;

Lets assume, I have a string that holds a query string.
How can I select the rows from that query string in oracle ?
I tried execute immediate but it returns nothing.
declare
hello varchar(30000);
begin
hello:='select * from test_table';
execute immediate hello;
end;
You would use a dynamic cursor.
Here's an example with SQL*Plus:
SQL> var dyn_cur refcursor
SQL> DECLARE
2 l_sql_query VARCHAR2(1000);
3 BEGIN
4 -- complex function that returns a query:
5 l_sql_query := 'SELECT 1, dummy FROM dual';
6 OPEN :dyn_cur FOR l_sql_query;
7 END;
8 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print dyn_cur
1 DUM
---------- ---
1 X
You can use dynamic cursors in PL/SQL procedures and packages:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE prc_dyn_cur(p_dyn_cursor OUT SYS_REFCURSOR) IS
2 BEGIN
3 OPEN p_dyn_cursor FOR 'SELECT 1, dummy FROM dual';
4 END;
5 /
Procedure created.
SQL> exec prc_dyn_cur(:dyn_cur);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print dyn_cur
1 DUM
---------- ---
1 X
declare
hello varchar(30000);
type tb is table of test_table$rowtype;
mytb tb;
begin
hello:='select * from test_table';
execute immediate hello bulk collect into mytb;
-- now you got all og youe data in the "array" mytb
end;
notice that this solution takes into account that you know what table you are selecting from.
plus, i think you should describe what exactly it is you are trying to achieve.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE query_executer (string_query IN VARCHAR)
IS
c1 SYS_REFCURSOR;
v_last_name employees.last_name%TYPE; -- Selecting last_name
BEGIN
OPEN c1 FOR string_query; -- Opening c1 for the select statement
LOOP
FETCH c1 INTO v_last_name;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (v_last_name);
EXIT WHEN (C1%NOTFOUND);
END LOOP;
END;
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
EXECUTE query_executer('select last_name from employees');
OUTPUT

I am trying to write a very simple sql script:
select * from table_X;
and I would like to see the results in oracle sqlplus, if there are any. These results are important for further analysis.
Also to mention, it depends, how many tables were created originally, so chances are that table_X may not be in the database at all. However I want to avoid getting an error, when parsing, that table_X doesn't exist, while running that script above.
So I was trying to wrap that SQL into some PLSQL dynamic code, like this:
Define table_X="MY_TAB"
DECLARE
stmt_ VARCHAR2(2000);
exist_ number := 0;
CURSOR table_exist IS
SELECT 1
FROM user_tables
WHERE table_name = '&table_X';
BEGIN
OPEN table_exist;
FETCH table_exist INTO exist_;
CLOSE table_exist;
IF exist_ = 1 THEN
stmt_ := 'SELECT * FROM &table_X';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE stmt_;
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('This functionality is not installed.');
END IF;
END;
/
Why I cannot see any result (records), if there is data in MY_TAB? Do I really need to bind some columns and use ex. dbms_output to be able to see some information?
Is there any simple way to query a table without getting 'ORA-00942: table or view does not exist'
if that table doesn't exist (ideally using SQL only)?
Thanks in advance
like this if you want it in sqlplus:
SQL> var c refcursor;
SQL> create or replace function get_table(p_tab in varchar2)
2 return sys_refcursor
3 is
4 v_r sys_refcursor;
5 NO_TABLE exception;
6 pragma exception_init(NO_TABLE, -942);
7 begin
8 open v_r for 'select * from ' || dbms_assert.simple_sql_name(p_tab);
9 return v_r;
10 exception
11 when NO_TABLE
12 then
13 open v_r for select 'NO TABLE ' || p_tab as oops from dual;
14 return v_r;
15 end;

Instead of execute immediate 'query' you could use execute immediate 'query' bulk collect into and then loop over it and use dbms_output to print it.
