SQL very tricky procedure - sql

Question

I am a bit obsessed now with this quiz, it seems I cant find a way out... hehe .
Let's see - we have two tables:
actor (id, salary, bonus)
info (id, name, surname)
The question is, to create a procedure so that it shows salary, bonus, name, surname of the actor and additionally his final paycheck = (bonus + salary) .
To begin with I tried this: (just to show the salary, bonus, name, surname and not the total paycheck, but it failed big time).
create or replace procedure show_things AS
BEGIN
Select a.id, a.salary, a.bonus
From actor a
where a.id in
(select i_id, i.name, i.surname
from info i
where i_id = a_id);
END;
I mean, is it possible to show things using a procedure ? I really can't understand this question.

Answer 1

I don't really know which version of SQL that you're using, but essentially, you're going to want to join two tables and query from them, like so:
SELECT
actor.salary,
actor.bonus,
info.name,
info.surname,
actor.salary + actor.bonus AS total_pay
FROM actor INNER JOIN info;
Done :-)

Answer 2

It's a simple join:
SELECT
a.id,
a.salary,
a.bonus,
i.name,
i.surname,
a.salary + a.bonus AS final_paycheck
FROM
actor a INNER JOIN info i
ON
a.id= i.id

Answer 3

Your procedure won't compile as-is. You'll (at least) need to define some local variables, and use the INTO clause to select into them.
You can then output the result of your procedure using dbms_output.put_line(), assuming that you have SERVEROUTPUT turned on.
In addition, you can't use the IN operator with a different number of columns (1) to that in the subquery it references (3). You should use a simple JOIN as others have suggested.
Please see the sample in the PL/SQL documentation.

Answer 4

You can use pipepline function to achieve this.
-- drop type t_actor_tab;
-- drop type t_actor_obj;
-- drop function get_actor_ptf;
-- drop table ACTOR;
-- drop table info;
CREATE TABLE ACTOR(ID NUMBER, SAL NUMBER, BONUS NUMBER);
INSERT INTO ACTOR(ID, SAL, BONUS) VALUES(1, 1200, 120);
INSERT INTO ACTOR(ID, SAL, BONUS) VALUES(2, 1300, 240);
INSERT INTO ACTOR(ID, SAL, BONUS) VALUES(3, 1500, 120);
CREATE TABLE INFO(ID NUMBER, NAME VARCHAR2(30), SURNAME VARCHAR2(30));
INSERT INTO INFO(ID, NAME, SURNAME) VALUES(1, 'ABC', 'abc');
INSERT INTO INFO(ID, NAME, SURNAME) VALUES(2, 'xyz', 'xyz');
INSERT INTO INFO(ID, NAME, SURNAME) VALUES(3, 'MNO', 'mno');
CREATE TYPE t_actor_obj AS OBJECT (
id NUMBER
,sal NUMBER
,bonus NUMBER
,final_paycheck NUMBER
);
CREATE TYPE t_actor_tab IS TABLE OF t_actor_obj;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_actor_ptf
RETURN t_actor_tab PIPELINED AS
CURSOR get_details_cur
IS
SELECT a.id
,a.sal
,a.bonus
,(a.sal+a.bonus) final_paycheck
From actor a
where EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM info i WHERE i.id = a.id);
v_details_row get_details_cur%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN get_details_cur;
LOOP
FETCH get_details_cur INTO v_details_row;
EXIT WHEN get_details_cur%NOTFOUND;
PIPE ROW(t_actor_obj (v_details_row.id,v_details_row.sal,v_details_row.bonus,v_details_row.final_paycheck));
END LOOP;
CLOSE get_details_cur;
RETURN;
END;
/
SELECT * FROM TABLE(get_actor_ptf);
ID SAL BONUS FINAL_PAYCHECK
---------- ---------- ---------- --------------
1 1200 120 1320
2 1300 240 1540
3 1500 120 1620

Answer 5

CREATE TABLE ACTOR(ID BIGINT, SAL BIGINT, BONUS BIGINT);
INSERT INTO ACTOR(ID, SAL, BONUS) VALUES(1, 1200, 120), (2, 1300, 240),(3, 1500, 120);
CREATE TABLE INFO(ID BIGINT, NAME VARCHAR(30), SURNAME VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO INFO(ID, NAME, SURNAME) VALUES(1, 'ABC', 'abc'), (2, 'xyz', 'xyz'), (3, 'MNO', 'mno')
SELECT * FROM ACTOR
SELECT * FROM INFO
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP1()
LANGUAGE SQL
DYNAMIC RESULT SETS 1
BEGIN
DECLARE DISPLAY CURSOR WITH RETURN FOR
SELECT X.ID, Y.NAME, Y.SURNAME, X.SAL, X.BONUS, X.SAL + X. BONUS AS TOTAL FROM ACTOR X JOIN INFO Y ON X.ID = Y. ID ;
OPEN DISPLAY;
END#
CALL SP1()
