I'm aware that we could assign a variable in SAS
For example %let date1=Mar16;
%put &date1 ;
Proc sql;
Create table temp as
Select *
From Dd_base.my_table_&date1 ;
Quit;
How can I do this in teradata?
Select *
From Dd_base.my_table_&date1 ;
I need to pass in a date value in the table name
Is there a way to do this in teradata?

I have a scenario to implement where in we will have an SP with two parameters
1) In parameter of array of Varchar2
2) Cursor -- Out parameter
We have populate the cursor only for each Value passed in array and this opened/populated cursor will be used by Java. But what i have found till now is, if we have to process an array then it should have to be done using loop.
For ex:
Open Cursor_Name
For
For index In Arrar_Parameter.FIRST .. Arrar_Parameter.LAST
LOOP
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EmpId = Arrar_Parameter[i] -------> This needs to be looped and not sure if this will work
END LOOP
Can we have some thing like this
Open Cursor_Name
For
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EmpId IN (Arrar_Parameter values) ------> To fetch/put all the array values at once without loop.
Kindly suggest hot to populate cursor in this scenario
Assuming your array parameter is a schema-level varray or nested table, you can use a table collection expression:
The table_collection_expression lets you inform Oracle that the value of collection_expression should be treated as a table for purposes of query and DML operations. The collection_expression can be a subquery, a column, a function, or a collection constructor. Regardless of its form, it must return a collection value—that is, a value whose type is nested table or varray. This process of extracting the elements of a collection is called collection unnesting.
This uses a built-in varray type but you can substitute your own:
create procedure procedure_name (
array_parameter sys.odcivarchar2list, cursor_name out sys_refcursor
) as
begin
open cursor_name for
select e.*
from table (array_parameter) a
join emp e on e.empid = a.column_value;
end;
/
You can also use in if you prefer:
create procedure procedure_name (
array_parameter sys.odcivarchar2list, cursor_name out sys_refcursor
) as
begin
open cursor_name for
select *
from emp
where empid in (select column_value from table (array_parameter));
end;
/
If it is a nested table you can also use the member of syntax:
create type my_varchar2_table as table of varchar2(30);
/
create procedure procedure_name (
array_parameter my_varchar2_table, cursor_name out sys_refcursor
) as
begin
open cursor_name for
select *
from emp
where empid member of array_parameter;
end;

create or replace procedure nestedTableColumnDemo is
--i have tried to create netsed table
TYPE address_nest1 is TABLE OF varchar2(50);
--using varchar i tried to create a table but it gives an error i have no idea why.
var1 varchar2(100);
begin
--this is where i created the table using a variable var1
var1:='create table customer_info(name varchar2(50),postal_address address_nest1) nested table postal_address store as postal_address_tab';
execute immediate var1;
end nestedTableColumnDemo;
execute nestedTableColumnDemo;
When I try to execute this it shows an error but no table is created.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE address_nest1 IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10)
/
create or replace procedure nestedTableColumnDemo is --i have tried to create netsed table
var1 varchar2(200);--using varchar i tried to create a table but it gives an error i have no idea why.
begin
var1:='create table customer_info
(name varchar2(50),
postal_address address_nest1)
nested table postal_address store as postal_address_tab'; --this is where i created the table using a variable var1
execute immediate var1;
end nestedTableColumnDemo;
/
execute nestedTableColumnDemo;
/
This Works.
I have to use existing stored procedure which returns REF CURSOR. I need to insert that resultset into a temporary table.
Spec of procedure is:
TYPE cur IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE get(p_one NUMBER ,p_two OUT cur);
How can I insert the resultset of this procedure into a table.
I just re-read the title of your question. Do you actually need to be able to select from a procedure?
If so, this can be achieved by using pipelined functions.
The process for this is:
Create an object type to represent the record-type you require.
Create a nested table type of the object.
Create a pipelined function which returns the nest table.
You can then select from this function.
This example should get you on your way:
create or replace type to_test as object (
val1 varchar2(32),
val2 varchar2(32)
);
create or replace type tt_test as table of to_test;
create or replace function demo_pipe return tt_test pipelined
is
v_test to_test;
begin
for rec in (select * from user_tables) loop
v_test := to_test(rec.table_name, rec.tablespace_name);
pipe row (v_test);
end loop;
end;
/
select * from table(demo_pipe);
I am trying to have a column holding the timestamp value whose default value is today + a few days. Could this be done during table creation time?
Yes it can be done as in the following example:
sqlite> create table foo (i int, j text default (datetime('now', '+5 days')));
sqlite> insert into foo (i) values (1);
sqlite> select * from foo;
1|2012-04-11 07:49:04
sqlite> insert into foo (i) values (2);
sqlite> select * from foo;
1|2012-04-11 07:49:04
2|2012-04-11 07:49:14
If you only want to store the date part, use date instead of datetime. Here I use datetime to show that the default expression is evaluated when inserting in the table, not when the table is created.
I have an SQL query similar to the following:
create procedure test
(
#param1 nvarchar(max)
)
as
begin
select * from table where column1 in (#param1)
end
Now I need to pass the value of #param1 from my .net application in such a way that the above query works.
Can some one please advise me on how to pass from my VB.NET code a value which is similiar to below:
'1','2','3'
My main question is how do I structure value of parameter like above example from my .NET application?
quickly like that, I would create a table valued function that would parse it so you can do
select *
from table
where field in (select field from dbo.myfunction(#param1))
For this type of thing, I use this function and use it as follows:
select Column1, column2 from my table where ID in (select item from fnSplit('1,2,3,4,5,6',','))
create FUNCTION [dbo].[fnSplit](
#sInputList VARCHAR(8000) -- List of delimited items
, #sDelimiter VARCHAR(8000) = ',' -- delimiter that separates items
)
RETURNS #List TABLE (item VARCHAR(8000))
BEGIN
DECLARE #sItem VARCHAR(8000)
WHILE CHARINDEX(#sDelimiter,#sInputList,0) <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT
#sItem=RTRIM(LTRIM(SUBSTRING(#sInputList,1,CHARINDEX(#sDelimiter,#sInputList,0)-1))),
#sInputList=RTRIM(LTRIM(SUBSTRING(#sInputList,CHARINDEX(#sDelimiter,#sInputList,0)+LEN(#sDelimiter),LEN(#sInputList))))
IF LEN(#sItem) > 0
INSERT INTO #List SELECT #sItem
END
IF LEN(#sInputList) > 0
INSERT INTO #List SELECT #sInputList -- Put the last item in
RETURN
END
I don't think the problem is in the values you are passing. #param1 is just a string.
You need to address this in your procedure. Your select statement will not be able to recognize the values in you IN clause. One solution is to take the comma-separated string and insert each record into a table variable Explained Here
If your table variable is table #param_list, you procedure test looks like:
create procedure test ( #param1 nvarchar(max) )
as begin
select * from table where column1 in (Select thefield from #param_list);
end
