SQL - Oracle Functions using variables for schema names - sql

I am writing some oracle stored procedures where we have conditional logic which effects which schema we are working from and I am not sure how to do this in the sql for the stored proc. If I am working with prepared statements then its fine but in the scenario where I am just executing a query to say populate another variable then I dont know how to do this. For example
PROCEDURE register (
incustomer_ref in VARCHAR2,
incustomer_type in VARCHAR2,
outreturn_code out VARCHAR2
)
IS
customer_schema varchar2(30);
record_exists number(1);
BEGIN
if incustomer_type='a' then
customer_schema:='schemaA';
elsif incustomer_type='b' then
customer_schema:='schemaB';
end if;
--This type of command I cant get to work
select count(*) into record_exists from **customer_schema**.customer_registration where customer_ref=incustomer_ref
--but a statement like this i know how to do
if record_exists = 0 then
execute immediate 'insert into '||customer_schema||'.customer_registration
values ('||incustomer_ref||','Y',sysdate)';
end if;
Can anyone shine some light on what I am missing here.
Cheers

you can use execute immediate also for select statment:
execute immediate 'select count(*) from '|| customer_schema
|| '.customer_registration where customer_ref= :b1'
into record_exists using incustomer_ref;

How to pass table name as a parameter in update procedure in Oracle?

I am new to Oracle so please sorry the question that seems to be very easy for you.
I need to get the following procedure with UPDATE query with replace function
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_replace_space_1
(
p_table user_tables.table_name%TYPE,
p_search IN varchar2,
p_replace IN varchar2
)
IS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'update ' || p_table ||
'set docnum = replace(docnum, :2, :3 )'
USING p_search, p_replace;
END;
This procedure removes all spaces.
But when I call it
BEGIN
proc_replace_space_1('cm_risk.fct_loans_temp', ' ', '');
END;
I've got the following error
SQL Error [971] [42000]: ORA-00971: missing SET keyword
ORA-06512: at "CM_RISK.PROC_REPLACE_SPACE_1", line 9
ORA-06512: at line 2
How can I modify my code to handle the problems?
Thank you.
Dynamic SQL is hard because it turns compilation errors into runtime errors. So I urge you to acquire the good habit of assembling your dynamic SQL as string variables which you can persist to a log table if you have such a thing (and if you don't it would be another good habit to acquire) or display using dbms_output.put_line.
So your procedure would look like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_replace_space_1
(
p_table user_tables.table_name%TYPE,
p_search IN varchar2,
p_replace IN varchar2
)
IS
l_sql varchar2(32767);
BEGIN
l_sql := 'update ' || p_table ||
'set docnum = replace(docnum, :2, :3 )';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
l_stmt
USING p_search, p_replace;
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line(l_sql);
raise;
END;
This approach allows you to see the actual SQL your procedure executed. Probably you'll be able to spot the syntax error immediately (in this case it's the missing space between table name and set). Otherwise you can try to run the statement for yourself and see what the SQL compiler highlights.
NB: depending on your environment you may need to enable DBMS_OUTPUT before you can see the message.
You just need to add a space before set. Currently your table name is appended to set keyword and it is assuming it as a table name i.e MyTableSet
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_replace_space_1
(
p_table user_tables.table_name%TYPE,
p_search IN varchar2,
p_replace IN varchar2
)
IS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'update ' || p_table ||
' set docnum = replace(docnum, :2, :3 )'
USING p_search, p_replace;
END;

Pass SQL string to oracle stored procedure and get results with execute immediate

I am trying to pass in a SQL string to a stored procedure and using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to return the results. Something like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE P360_RCT_COUNT (sqlString IN VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlString;
END;
/
I am not sure how to accomplish it. With the above, when I execute the SP using the command below, I get an error:
EXECUTE P360_RCT_COUNT 'SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ENTITY_ID),ADDR_COUNTY FROM P360_V_RCT_COUNT GROUP BY ADDR_COUNTY';
The error is: ORA-06550: line 1, column 22:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SELECT COUNT(ENTITY_ID),ADDR_COUNTY
FROM P360_V_RCT_COUNT GROUP " when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( # % ; The symbol ":=" was substituted for "SELECT
COUNT(DISTINCT ENTITY_ID),ADDR_COUNTY FROM P360_V_RCT_COUNT GROUP " to
continue.
Basically I am building a SQL string in a system and need to pass it in to the SP and get the results back to the system. I am relatively new to stored procedures in Oracle.
The easiest way to work with a result set is sys_refcursor. This can be used quite easily with JDBC or ODBC.
Your procedure would look like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE P360_RCT_COUNT (
sqlString IN VARCHAR2
, p_result_set out sys_refcursor)
AS
BEGIN
open p_result_set for sqlString;
END;
/
Obviously the precise details of how you call it will vary according to your client. But in SQL*Plus it would be:
var rc refcursor
exec P360_RCT_COUNT( 'SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ENTITY_ID),ADDR_COUNTY FROM P360_V_RCT_COUNT GROUP BY ADDR_COUNTY', :rc);
print rc
To return lists of values in a OUT parameter you need to decide the type(s) to use.
Say, for example, you have to return some varchar2 and some date lists, you could use something like this:
create or replace type tabOfVarchar2 is table of varchar2(100);
create or replace type tabOfDates is table of date;
create or replace procedure testProc(pString IN varchar2,
pOutVarchar1 OUT tabOfVarchar2,
pOutVarchar2 OUT tabOfVarchar2,
pOutVarchar3 OUT tabOfVarchar2,
pOutDates OUT tabOfDates
) is
begin
execute immediate pString
bulk collect into pOutVarchar1, pOutVarchar2, pOutVarchar3, pOutDates;
end;
This is way you can test this procedure:
declare
v1 tabOfVarchar2 ;
v2 tabOfVarchar2;
v3 tabOfVarchar2;
d1 tabOfDates ;
vSQL varchar2(100) := 'select ''a'', ''b'', ''c'', sysdate from dual';
begin
testProc(vSQL, v1, v2, v3, d1);
--
for i in v1.first .. v1.last loop
dbms_output.put_line(v1(i) || '/' || v2(i) || '/' || v3(i) || '/' || to_char(d1(i), 'dd/mm/yyyy'));
end loop;
end;
which gives:
a/b/c/14/04/2017
This only works with queries that give exactly a fixed number of columns, of known types.

Trigger pl/sql insert data on table

i'm new in pl/sql. I'm trying to create a trigger that insert datas in specific tables.
I have datas that arrives in real-time on my table EV_48h. To know on which table I have to insert the data i have to know it Ref_equip (Ref_equip is on an other table named C_Equip).
I've made quickly this littre merise to be more understandable:
merise
As I said I have data that arrives on real-time on the table EV_48H and I have to put them automatically on the tables that are named 'EVV_'+Ref_equip.
So, here is my code. I don't have any error but it don't work. I know i missed of forget something but i don't know what.
TRIGGER "SIVO"."NEWtrigger3EV_48H"
BEFORE INSERT
ON SIVO.EV_48H
REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS OLD
FOR EACH ROW
declare
clef_var number(4,0);
ref_equip varchar2(40);
V_Nom_table varchar2(1000) ;
V_nom_seq Varchar2(2000) ;
stmt varchar2(200);
begin
SELECT clef_var
INTO :New.Clef_Var
FROM sivo.c_variable
WHERE Ref_Var= :new.Ref_Var;
-- Conversion des formats Date-Heure en DateHeure oracle
:New.EV_DATEAUTO := to_date(:New.EV_DATE || ' ' || :New.EV_HEURE, 'DD/MM/YY HH24:MI:SS');
stmt:='begin select clef_var into :New.Clef_Var From sivo.C_variable; end';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE stmt using out clef_var;
IF clef_var is not null then
stmt :='begin select Ref_equip into :New.Ref_Equip FROM sivo.C_Equip WHERE Ref_var= :New.Ref_Var; end';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE Stmt USING OUT Ref_Equip;
V_nom_table := 'EVV_'||Ref_Equip;
stmt :='insert into' ||V_nom_table || '(:New.Clef_Var, :New.Ev_DateAuto, :New.Ev_Valeur )';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE stmt USING Ref_Equip;
ELSE
INSERT INTO SIVO.EV_48H_VAR_INCONNUES (REF_VAR, EV_DATE, EV_HEURE, EV_VALEUR)
VALUES ( :New.REF_VAR, :New.EV_DATE, :New.EV_HEURE, :New.EV_VALEUR);
end if;
END;
If someone can help me or put me on the right way. I don't know if I give all informations so tell me if I missed something.
Thanks
In your execute immediate you are missing the end of statement indicator colon after END
this should be
begin select clef_var into :New.Clef_Var From sivo.C_variable; end;
However there are other design choices that you should be aware of:
using execute immediate is handy but if you don't have to use it you shouldn't. The work can be done by a cursor or even a simple select statement if only one value will come back. In fact it appears you do the work twice. First you insert into the :new.clef_var then you do the same thing again with the execute immediate. Try commenting out the execute immediate.
by using execute immediate any errors are harder to track
using a trigger means the real time data source cannot end the transaction until the trigger completes. Why not run a scheduled job every minute to check for new data and process it? This breaks the transaction into two parts: data entry and data processing
is there any update of records that your process needs to capture?

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ' some commands '

Is it possible to execute some sql commands within one EXECUTE IMMEDIATE block?
What is wrong with this syntax:
declare
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
execute immediate
'begin
COMMENT ON TABLE t1 IS ''description1'';
COMMENT ON TABLE t2 IS ''description2'';
end;';
end;
For one SQL command it works fine:
declare
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
execute immediate ' COMMENT ON TABLE t1 IS ''description1'' ';
end;
The begin end within the string to execute immediate is going to be treated as a PL/SQL anonymous block. DDL, such as COMMENT is not allowed in PL/SQL. If it were you wouldn't need to use execute immediate. Oracle essentially works with either a block of PL/SQL statement or a single SQL statement at a time. Though there are APIs to batch SQL statements too.
So, to run COMMENT within a PL/SQL block or procedure, you will need to execute immediate statements.
Without more context I can not intelligently comment on whether that is the right approach, or if just having the two comment statements stand alone would be better.
Well, you could do this:
begin
execute immediate
'begin
execute immediate ''COMMENT ON TABLE t1 IS ''''description1'''' '';
execute immediate ''COMMENT ON TABLE t2 IS ''''description2'''' '';
end;';
end;
But there's not much point.

pl/sql - to_date not working with execute immediate parameter

i wanna be able to execute my below proc like so:
exec procname('29-JAN-2011');
proc code is:
PROCEDURE procname(pardate VARCHAR2) IS
vardate DATE := to_date(pardate, 'DD-MON-YYYY');
SQLS VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
SQLS := 'SELECT cola, colb
FROM tablea
WHERE TRUNC(coldate) = TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||pardate||''',''DD/MON/YYYY''))';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQLS;
END;
It keeps throwing error:
ORA-00904: "JAN": invalid identifier.
It compiles, but it throws the error when I run this command:
EXEC procname('29-JAN-2011');
You declare a variable which casts the input parameter to a date: why not use it?
Also, the TRUNC() applied to a date removes the time element. You don't need it here because the value you're passing has no time.
So, your code should be:
PROCEDURE procname(pardate VARCHAR2) IS
vardate DATE := to_date(pardate, 'DD-MON-YYYY');
SQLS VARCHAR2(4000) := 'select cola, colb FROM tablea
WHERE TRUNC(coldate) = :1';
l_a tablea.cola%type;
l_b tablea.colb%type;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQLS
into l_a, l_b
using vardate;
END;
Specifying the dynamic SQL statement with a bind variable and executing it with the USING syntax is a lot more efficient. Note that we still have to SELECT into some variables.
You're using two different notations in the two calls to to_date. I think one of them (the second) is wrong.
