dynamically change column in oracle cursor - plsql

I have 50 columns in one table and need to update each column.
Trying the below plsql code. (commented update section is working).
But dynamically generated column is not accepting.
(PL/SQL: ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column specification)
Anybody can help please?
DECLARE
cursor udas is
select 5109 as udaid from dual
union all
select 8209 as udaid from dual;
BEGIN
for uda in udas loop
DECLARE
cursor c1 is
select
x.item, x.uda_id, x.uda_value, x.uda_value_desc
from
hp2_uda_data x
where
x.uda_type='LOV'
and x.uda_id=uda.udaid;
begin
for i in c1 loop
begin
/*update testtable set item_uda_5109_v=i.uda_value,
item_uda_5109_d=i.uda_value_desc where item_code=i.item;*/
update testtable set 'item_uda_'||uda.udaid||'_v'=i.uda_value,
'item_uda_'||uda.udaid||'_d'=i.uda_value_desc where item_code=i.item;
end;
end loop;
commit;
end;
end loop;
END;

Dynamic code requires execute immediate:
execute immediate
'update testtable
set item_uda_'||uda.udaid||'_v = :b1
, item_uda_'||uda.udaid||'_d = :b2
where item_code = :b3'
using i.uda_value, i.uda_value_desc, i.item;
It can be useful to construct the dynamic code in a variable so that you can report or log it in the event of failure.
I also recommend looking into code indentation as a useful technique for making code readable.

Using bind variable as table name in Alter table script

FOR k in c2 LOOP
l_sql := 'ALTER TABLE :TABLE_NAME DISABLE CONSTRAINT
:CONSTRAINT_NAME CASCADE';
l_sql :='INSERT INTO TMP_CONSTRAINT (TABLE_NAME,CONSTRAINT_NAME)
VALUES ('':TABLE_NAME'', '':CONSTRAINT_NAME'')';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql USING k.TABLE_NAME, k.CONSTRAINT_NAME;
END LOOP;
Above dynamic SQL to take the variable from a cursor and disable constraint accordingly and insert record to a temp table. I am getting error "bind variable does not exist" in the update statement.
It is actually caused by the single code in INSERT
Corrected as per following:
l_sql :='INSERT INTO TMP_ENABLED_CONSTRAINT (TABLE_NAME,CONSTRAINT_NAME) VALUES (:TABLE_NAME ,:CONSTRAINT_NAME)';

how to use Trunc(mydate) in a cursor loop

I am new to PL/SQL, and am working on cursor today and got a scenario where I need to get the duplicate transaction type based on the date+amount+cust_id+txn_tpye. Once I get the duplicates I have to use another cursor or just normal loop using the select columns values (date+amount+cust_id+txn_tpye) as a where clause.
Before that I'm just trying to print them if I am getting a value or not, when I tried to print a mydate value getting error. Requesting help from you folks.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
declare
CURSOR dup_check
IS
SELECT cust_id,amount,trunc(mydate),transaction_type,COUNT(1)
FROM table_X WHERE trunc(mydate)>='10-OCT-2015'
GROUP BY cust_id,amount,trunc(mydate),transaction_type
HAVING COUNT(1)>1 ;
BEGIN
FOR UP_REC IN dup_check
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(UP_REC.cust_id||' '||UP_REC.amount||UP_REC.trnasaction_type||**trunc(mydate))**;
END LOOP;
END;
**PLS-00302: component 'mydate' must be declared**
add alias for trunc(mydate) field as below and put the UP_REC.mydate in your dbms_output
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
declare
CURSOR dup_check
IS
SELECT cust_id,
amount,
trunc(mydate) mydate, /* add an alias here */
transaction_type,
COUNT(1)
FROM table_X WHERE trunc(mydate) >= '10-OCT-2015'
GROUP BY cust_id,amount,trunc(mydate),transaction_type HAVING COUNT(1)>1 ;
BEGIN
FOR UP_REC IN dup_check
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(UP_REC.cust_id||' '||UP_REC.amount||UP_REC.trnasaction_type||UP_REC.mydate));
END LOOP;
END;

ROWTYPE definition in pl/sql

I have written a PL/SQL Procedure which compares data between two tables and print the difference if any, but the twist is the table names to the procedure is dynamic. Here is the procedure
create or replace PROCEDURE compareTables(
tabA IN VARCHAR2, tabB IN VARCHAR2) AS
cur_tab_name USER_TABLES%ROWTYPE;
lv_sql varchar2(4000);
lv_sql2 varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
--SELECT TABLE_NAME INTO cur_tab_name FROM USER_TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = tabA;
lv_sql2 := 'SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = :b_tabA';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE lv_sql2 INTO cur_tab_name USING tabA;
<<child>>
DECLARE
TYPE cursor_ref IS REF CURSOR;
cur_comp_result cursor_ref;
rec_comp_result cur_tab_name.TABLE_NAME%rowtype;
BEGIN
lv_sql := 'SELECT * FROM '||tabA||' MINUS SELECT * FROM '||tabB;
OPEN cur_comp_result FOR lv_sql;
LOOP
FETCH cur_comp_result INTO rec_comp_result;
EXIT WHEN cur_comp_result%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec_comp_result.empid || '' || rec_comp_result.name);
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur_comp_result;
Exception
When others then
dbms_output.put_line('The Problem is '||sqlerrm);
END;
END compareTables;
Now the problem is when I compile this procedure I am getting the following error
Error at line 14: PLS-00310: with %ROWTYPE attribute, 'CUR_TAB_NAME.TABLE_NAME' must name a table, cursor or cursor-variable
line 14:rec_comp_result cur_tab_name.TABLE_NAME%rowtype;
how will I solve it?
*NB: I don't have oracle installed in my system. I am using Oracle Apex Online tool which uses
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 and
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0
As a test, go to the last line, and after the semicolon, hit enter.
I know that Pro*C in particular will gag without a line terminator at the end of the file.
You may be encounting that issue.
Outside the scope of your question consider
SELECT columns
FROM TABLE1
MINUS
SELECT columns
FROM TABLE2
and
SELECT columns
FROM TABLE2
MINUS
SELECT columns
FROM TABLE1
Use: cur_tab_name.table_name. The variable CUR_TAB_NAMEis of type USER_TABLE%ROWTYPE, thus it has several fields.

How i can pass column names from variables in plsql update statement

DECLARE
v_name A.TRANSACTION_TYPE%TYPE :='SALARY';
v_salary A.SALARY%TYPE := 1000;
BEGIN
update A set v_name= v_salary where EMPID = 517;
-- PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "v_name": invalid identifier
--update A set SALARY = 1000 where EMPID = 517;
END;

My idea is to update table columns , but these column names are stored in variable. Is there any way to pass column names from variable ? Is there any options apart from Execute Immediate
Not sure if this will work in your situation, but I've written solutions where I wrote a script in SQLPlus and it "wrote" (using dbms_output.put_line or even just prompt) another script that did queries, and the columns/tables in those queries was determined by the logic in the SQLPlus script. Then I would execute as a script the output from my first script, and it would execute dynamically generated queries without ever needing execute immediate.
The following idea may work for multiple columns that are typed the same... As written, it will update all columns every time for a given record, but only the column specified by v_name will be changed to the value set in v_value; the other columns are simply updated to their existing value. The idea can be played with using DECODE, NVL or other similar conditional operators.
declare
v_name varchar2(20):= 'SAL';
v_value emptest.sal%TYPE := 5000;
begin
update emptest
set sal = ( select case when v_name = 'SAL' then v_value else sal end from dual),
comm = ( select case when v_name = 'COMM' then v_value else comm end from dual)
where empno = 7369;
commit;
end;

PL/SQL Inserting 1 row for each result in a select

I am writing a PL/SQL Procedure that performs a select based on input variables and then inserts a row for each result in the select. I am having trouble debugging what is wrong with my query due my newness to PL/SQL. I know this must be easy, but I am stuck here for some reason. Thanks for your help!
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE setup_name_map(ranking_id IN NUMBER, class_string IN VARCHAR2)
IS
BEGIN
FOR rec IN (SELECT NAME_ID FROM PRODUCT_NAMES WHERE NAME = class_string)
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO NAME_RANKING (NAME_ID, RANKING_ID) VALUES (' || rec.NAME_ID || ', ' || ranking_id || ')';
END LOOP;
END;
According to the Oracle Developer Compiler... 'NAME_ID' is an invalid identifier. I've tried putting it in quotes but no dice. It also complains that loop index variables 'REC' use is invalid. Any help is much appreciated.
There is no need for dynamic SQL here:
BEGIN
FOR rec IN (SELECT NAME_ID FROM PRODUCT_NAMES
WHERE NAME = class_string)
LOOP
INSERT INTO NAME_RANKING (NAME_ID, RANKING_ID)
VALUES (rec.NAME_ID, ranking_id);
END LOOP;
END;
Better still you can avoid a slow row-by-row cursor approach like this:
BEGIN
INSERT INTO NAME_RANKING (NAME_ID, RANKING_ID)
SELECT NAME_ID, ranking_id FROM PRODUCT_NAMES
WHERE NAME = class_string;
END;
If you really did need the dynamic SQL you should not be concatenating values into it, but using bind variables:
BEGIN
FOR rec IN (SELECT NAME_ID FROM PRODUCT_NAMES
WHERE NAME = class_string)
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO NAME_RANKING
(NAME_ID, RANKING_ID) VALUES (:b1, :b2)
USING rec.NAME_ID, ranking_id;
END LOOP;
END;
