Dynamic SQL and PL/SQL

Constructed and executed at runtime

Stored in character strings that are input to, or built by, the program at runtime Execute DDL statementsBuild back-ends applications

DBMS_SQL packageNative Dynamic SQL (NDS)


NDS Statement

Native dynamic SQLIs an integral part of the PL/SQL language itselfSignificantly simpler to user and faster

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statementExecute a specified SQL statement immediately

OPEN FOR statementPerform multiple-row dynamic queries


DDL, DML, Anonymous Blocks

declare l_sqlstring varchar2(200); l_plsqlblock varchar2(200);begin execute immediate 'create table execute_table (col1 varchar(10))'; for l_counter in 1..10 loop l_sqlstring := 'insert into execute_table values (''row ' || l_counter || ''')'; execute immediate l_sqlstring; end loop; l_plsqlblock := 'begin for l_rec in (select * from execute_table) loop dbms_output.put_line(l_rec.col1); end loop; end;'; execute immediate l_plsqlblock; execute immediate 'drop table execute_table';end;


EXECUTE IMMEDIATE Statement

execute immediate

'create index emp_u_1 on employee (last_name)';

create or replace procedure execddl

(ddl_string in varchar2)

is

begin

execute immediate ddl_string;

end;

exec execddl(

'create index emp_u_i on employee(last_name)');



CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tabCount ( tab IN VARCHAR2, whr IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, sch IN VARCHAR2 := NULL) RETURN INTEGERIS retval INTEGER;BEGIN EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' || NVL (sch, USER) || '.' || tab || ' WHERE ' || NVL (whr, '1=1') INTO retval; RETURN retval;END;/

if tabcount ('emp', 'deptno = ' || v_dept) > 100 then dbms_output.put_line('growing fast!');end if;



Bind VariableCREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION updNVal ( tab IN VARCHAR2, col IN VARCHAR2, val IN NUMBER, whr IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, sch IN VARCHAR2 := NULL) RETURN PLS_INTEGERISBEGIN EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'UPDATE ' || NVL (sch, USER) || '.' || tab || ' SET ' || col || ' = :the_value WHERE ' || NVL (whr, '1=1') USING val; RETURN SQL%ROWCOUNT;END;/

PL/SQL engine replaces the various placeholders with the values in the USING clause



Bind VariableCREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE run_9am_procedure ( id_in IN employee.employee_id%TYPE, hour_in IN INTEGER)IS v_apptcount INTEGER; v_name VARCHAR2 (100);BEGIN EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'BEGIN ' || TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'DAY') || '_set_schedule (:id, :hour, :name, :appts); END;' USING IN id_in, IN hour_in, OUT v_name, OUT v_apptcount;

DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ( 'Employee ' || v_name || ' has ' || v_apptcount || ' appointments on ' || TO_CHAR (SYSDATE));END;/


OPEN FOR Statement

create or replace procedure show_parts_inventory (

parts_table in varchar2,

where_n in varchar2 := null)

is

type query_curtype is ref cursor;

dyncur query_curtype;

begin

open dyncur for

‘select * from ’ || parts_table

‘where ’ || nvl(where_in, ‘1=1’);

…

end;

Extend cursor variables to support dynamic SQL


OPEN FOR Statementcreate or replace procedure show_employee ( table_in in varchar2, where_in in varchar2 := null)is type query_curtype is ref cursor; dyncur query_curtype; emp employee%rowtype;begin open dyncur for 'select * from ' || table_in || ' where ' || nvl (where_in, '1=1'); dbms_output.put_line('Employee list:'); loop fetch dyncur into emp; exit when dyncur%notfound; dbms_output.put_line(emp.lname || ' ' || emp.fname); end loop; close dyncur;end;/


Multirow Queries with Cursor Variables

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE showcol ( tab IN VARCHAR2, col IN VARCHAR2, whr IN VARCHAR2 := NULL)IS TYPE cv_type IS REF CURSOR; cv cv_type; val VARCHAR2(32767); BEGIN OPEN cv FOR 'SELECT ' || col || ' FROM ' || tab || ' WHERE ' || NVL (whr, '1 = 1'); LOOP FETCH cv INTO val; EXIT WHEN cv%NOTFOUND; IF cv%ROWCOUNT = 1 THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (RPAD ('-', 60, '-')); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Contents of '||UPPER(tab)||'.'||UPPER(col)); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (RPAD ('-', 60, '-')); END IF; DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (val); END LOOP; CLOSE cv;END;/


FETCH into VariablesDeclare

type cv_type is ref cursor;

cv cv_type;

mega_bucks company.ceo_compensation%type;

achieved_by company.cost_cutting%type;

Begin

Open cv for

‘select ceo_compensation, cost_curtting from company where ’ || nvl (whr, ‘1=1’);

loop

fetch cv into mega_bucks, achieved_by;


FETCH into RecordsDeclare

type cv_type is ref cursor;

cv cv_type;

ceo_info company%rowtype;

Begin

Open cv for

‘select * from from company where ’ || nvl (whr, ‘1=1’);

loop

fetch cv into ceo_info;


FETCH into Recordscreate or replace package company_strucis type dynsql_curtype is ref cursor; type ceo_info_rt is record ( mega_bucks company.ceo_compensation%type, achieved_by company.cost_cutting%type);

declare cv company_struc.dynsql_curtype; rec company_struc.ceo_info_rt;begin open cv for ‘select ceo_eompensatin, cost_cutting from company

where ’ || nvl (whr, ‘1=1’); loop fetch cv into rec;


The USING Clause in OPEN FOR

OPEN cv FOR 'SELECT ' || col || ' FROM ' || tab || ' WHERE ' || dtcol || ' BETWEEN TRUNC (:startdt) AND TRUNC (:enddt)' USING dt1, NVL (dt2, dt1+1); LOOP FETCH cv INTO val; EXIT WHEN cv%NOTFOUND; IF cv%ROWCOUNT = 1 THEN …


Binding Variables

Binding utilizes placeholders and USING clauseEXECUTE IMMEDIATE

'UPDATE ' || tab || ' SET sal = :new_sal' USING v_sal;

Concatenation adds values directly to the SQL stringEXECUTE IMMEDIATE

'UPDATE ' || tab || ' SET sal = ' || v_sal;

Binding is fasterBinding is easier to write and maintainBinding negates the chance of code injection


Code InjectionCREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_rows ( ssn_in in VARCHAR2)IS l_where VARCHAR2(32767);BEGIN l_where := 'ssn = ' || ssn_in; EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DECLARE l_row employee%ROWTYPE; BEGIN SELECT * INTO l_row FROM employee WHERE ' || l_where || '; dbms_output.put_line(l_row.lname); END;';END get_rows;/


Avoid Code InjectionCREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_rows ( ssn_in in VARCHAR2)IS l_where VARCHAR2(32767);BEGIN l_where := 'ssn = :ssnumber'; EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DECLARE l_row employee%ROWTYPE; BEGIN SELECT * INTO l_row FROM employee WHERE ' || l_where || '; dbms_output.put_line(l_row.lname); END;' USING ssn_in;END get_rows;/


Argument ModesIN, OUT, IN OUT

create or replace procedure wrong_incentive( company_in in integer, new_layoffs in number)is sql_string varchar2(2000); sal_after_layoffs number;begin sql_string := ‘update ceo_compensation set salary = salary + 10 * :layoffs where company_id = :company returning salary into :newsal’; execute immediate sql_string using new_layoffs, company_in, out sal_after_layoffs; dbms_output.put_line (ceo compensation after latest round of layoffs $’ || sal_after_layoffs);end;


Dynamic SQL and Static SQL

More versatile than plain embedded SQL programsCan be built interactively with input from users having little or no knowledge of SQL

For highly flexible applications

Require complex codingUse of special data structuresMore runtime processing


Oracle's Object Features

Object programming featuresCreating base type and subtypeCreating objectStoring, retrieving, and using persistent objects


Object Programming Features


Object Programming Features


Library Catalog Type Hierarchy


Creating Base Type

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE catalog_item_t AS OBJECT ( id INTEGER, title VARCHAR2(4000), NOT INSTANTIABLE MEMBER FUNCTION ck_digit_okay RETURN BOOLEAN, MEMBER FUNCTION print RETURN VARCHAR2) NOT INSTANTIABLE NOT FINAL;/


Creating Subtype

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE book_t UNDER catalog_item_t ( isbn VARCHAR2(13), pages INTEGER, CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION book_t ( id IN INTEGER DEFAULT NULL, title IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, isbn IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, pages IN INTEGER DEFAULT NULL) RETURN SELF AS RESULT, OVERRIDING MEMBER FUNCTION ck_digit_okay RETURN BOOLEAN, OVERRIDING MEMBER FUNCTION print RETURN VARCHAR2);/


Creating Subtype

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE serial_t UNDER catalog_item_t ( issn VARCHAR2(10), open_or_closed VARCHAR2(1), CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION serial_t ( id IN INTEGER DEFAULT NULL, title IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, issn IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, open_or_closed IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL) RETURN SELF AS RESULT, OVERRIDING MEMBER FUNCTION ck_digit_okay RETURN BOOLEAN, OVERRIDING MEMBER FUNCTION print RETURN VARCHAR2) NOT FINAL;/


Creating Object

DECLARE generic_item catalog_item_t; abook book_t;BEGIN abook := NEW book_t(title => 'Out of the Silent Planet', isbn => '0-6848-238-02'); generic_item := abook; DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('BOOK: ' || abook.print()); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ITEM: ' || generic_item.print());END;


Storing Persistent Objects CREATE TABLE catalog_items OF catalog_item_t (CONSTRAINT catalog_items_pk PRIMARY KEY (id));

CREATE TABLE my_writing_projects ( project_id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, start_date DATE, working_title VARCHAR2(4000), catalog_item catalog_item_t);

DESC catalog_itemsdesc my_writing_projects

INSERT INTO catalog_items VALUES (NEW book_t(10003, 'Perelandra', '0-684-82382-9', 222));

INSERT INTO catalog_items VALUES (NEW serial_t(10004, 'Time', '0040-781X', 'O'));


The VALUE functionAccepts a single argument, which must be a table alias in the current FROM clauseReturns an object of the type on which the table is defined

Retrieving Persistent Objects

SELECT VALUE(c) FROM catalog_items c;

SELECT VALUE(c).id, VALUE(c).print() FROM catalog_items c;


Retrieving Persistent Objects

DECLARE catalog_item catalog_item_t; CURSOR ccur IS SELECT VALUE(c) FROM catalog_items c;BEGIN OPEN ccur; FETCH ccur INTO catalog_item; DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('I fetched item #' || catalog_item.id); CLOSE ccur;END;


The TREAT functionTreat a generic base type object as the more narrowly defined subtype object

Object Downcasting

DECLARE book book_t; catalog_item catalog_item_t := NEW book_t();BEGIN book := TREAT(catalog_item AS book_t);END;/


Test Object Type DECLARE CURSOR ccur IS SELECT VALUE(c) item FROM catalog_items c; arec ccur%ROWTYPE;BEGIN FOR arec IN ccur LOOP CASE WHEN arec.item IS OF (book_t) THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Found a book with ISBN ' || TREAT(arec.item AS book_t).isbn); WHEN arec.item IS OF (serial_t) THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Found a serial with ISSN ' || TREAT(arec.item AS serial_t).issn); ELSE DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Found unknown catalog item'); END CASE; END LOOP;END;
