The PLSQL identifier must identify either a variable or a formal parameter. In Example 6 1, a PLSQL anonymous block declares three PLSQL variables and uses them in the static SQL statements INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE. The block also uses the static SQL statement COMMIT. Example 6 1 Static SQL Statements. DROP TABLE employeestemp. CREATE TABLE employeestemp AS. Aftermarket John Deere Square Baler Parts. This is a completely free service provided by Microsoft. You can find additional information about it here. Conclusion. Querying Microsoft SQL Server 20122014. Abstract. This specification defines an API for storing data in databases that can be queried using a variant of SQL. Status of This Document. Beware. SELECT employeeid, firstname, lastname. FROM employees. empid employeestemp. TYPE 2. 99. empfirstname employeestemp. TYPE Bob. emplastname employeestemp. TYPE Henry. INSERT INTO employeestemp employeeid, firstname, lastname. VALUES empid, empfirstname, emplastname. UPDATE employeestemp. SET firstname Robert. I have a question in regards to SQL Standard availability groups. I currently have an AG setup with one primary and one secondary replica. I am using synchronous. WHERE employeeid empid. DELETE FROM employeestemp. WHERE employeeid empid. RETURNING firstname, lastname. INTO empfirstname, emplastname. DBMSOUTPUT. PUTLINE empfirstname emplastname. To use PLSQL identifiers for table names, column names, and so on, use the EXECUTEIMMEDIATE statement, explained in Native Dynamic SQL. Note. After PLSQL code runs a DML statement, the values of some variables are undefined. For example. After a FETCH or SELECT statement raises an exception, the values of the define variables after that statement are undefined. After a DML statement that affects zero rows, the values of the OUT bind variables are undefined, unless the DML statement is a BULK or multiple row operation. Pseudocolumns. A pseudocolumn behaves like a table column, but it is not stored in the table. For general information about pseudocolumns, including restrictions, see Oracle Database SQL Language Reference. Static SQL includes these SQL pseudocolumns CURRVAL and NEXTVAL in PLSQLAfter a sequence is created, you can access its values in SQL statements with the CURRVAL pseudocolumn, which returns the current value of the sequence, or the NEXTVAL pseudocolumn, which increments the sequence and returns the new value. For general information about sequences, see Oracle Database SQL Language Reference. To reference these pseudocolumns, use dot notationfor example, sequencename. Sql Update Multiple Rows Single Querying MeaningSql Update Multiple Rows Single Querying AgentsCURRVAL. For complete syntax, see Oracle Database SQL Language Reference. Note. Each time you reference sequencename. NEXTVAL, the sequence is incremented immediately and permanently, whether you commit or roll back the transaction. As of Oracle Database 1. Release 1, you can use sequencename. CURRVAL and sequencename. NEXTVAL in a PLSQL expression wherever you can use a NUMBER expression. However Using sequencename. CURRVAL or sequencename. NEXTVAL to provide a default value for an ADT method parameter causes a compilation error. PLSQL evaluates every occurrence of sequencename. CURRVAL and sequencename. NEXTVAL unlike SQL, which evaluates a sequence expression for every row in which it appears. Example 6 2 generates a sequence number for the sequence HR. EMPLOYEESSEQ and refers to that number in multiple statements. Example 6 2 CURRVAL and NEXTVAL Pseudocolumns. DROP TABLE employeestemp. CREATE TABLE employeestemp AS. SELECT employeeid, firstname, lastname. FROM employees. DROP TABLE employeestemp. CREATE TABLE employeestemp. AS. SELECT employeeid, firstname, lastname. FROM employees. seqvalue NUMBER. Generate initial sequence number. NEXTVAL. Print initial sequence number. DBMSOUTPUT. PUTLINE. Initial sequence value TOCHARseqvalue. Use NEXTVAL to create unique number when inserting data. INSERT INTO employeestemp employeeid, firstname, lastname. VALUES employeesseq. NEXTVAL, Lynette, Smith. Use CURRVAL to store same value somewhere else. INSERT INTO employeestemp. VALUES employeesseq. CURRVAL. Morgan, Smith. Because NEXTVAL values might be referenced. NEXTVAL values might not be stored in database. Use CURRVAL to specify record to delete. CURRVAL. DELETE FROM employeestemp. WHERE employeeid seqvalue. Update employeeid with NEXTVAL for specified record. UPDATE employeestemp. SET employeeid employeesseq. NEXTVAL. WHERE firstname Lynette. AND lastname Smith. Display final value of CURRVAL. CURRVAL. DBMSOUTPUT. PUTLINE. Ending sequence value TOCHARseqvalue. Cursors. A cursor is a pointer to a private SQL area that stores information about processing a specific SELECT or DML statement. The cursors that this chapter explains are session cursors. A session cursor lives in session memory until the session ends, when it ceases to exist. A session cursor that is constructed and managed by PLSQL is an implicit cursor. A session cursor that you construct and manage is an explicit cursor. You can get information about any session cursor from its attributes which you can reference in procedural statements, but not in SQL statements. To list the session cursors that each user session currently has opened and parsed, query the dynamic performance view VOPENCURSOR, explained in Oracle Database Reference. Note. Generally, PLSQL parses an explicit cursor only the first time the session opens it and parses a SQL statement creating an implicit cursor only the first time the statement runs. All parsed SQL statements are cached. A SQL statement is reparsed only if it is aged out of the cache by a new SQL statement. Although you must close an explicit cursor before you can reopen it, PLSQL need not reparse the associated query. If you close and immediately reopen an explicit cursor, PLSQL does not reparse the associated query. Topics. Implicit Cursors. An implicit cursor is a session cursor that is constructed and managed by PLSQL. PLSQL opens an implicit cursor every time you run a SELECT or DML statement. You cannot control an implicit cursor, but you can get information from its attributes. The syntax of an implicit cursor attribute value is SQLattribute therefore, an implicit cursor is also called a SQL cursor. SQLattribute always refers to the most recently run SELECT or DML statement. If no such statement has run, the value of SQLattribute is NULL. An implicit cursor closes after its associated statement runs however, its attribute values remain available until another SELECT or DML statement runs. The most recently run SELECT or DML statement might be in a different scope. To save an attribute value for later use, assign it to a local variable immediately. Otherwise, other operations, such as subprogram invocations, might change the value of the attribute before you can test it. The implicit cursor attributes are SQLISOPEN Attribute Is the Cursor Open SQLISOPEN always returns FALSE, because an implicit cursor always closes after its associated statement runs. SQLFOUND Attribute Were Any Rows AffectedSQLFOUND returns NULL if no SELECT or DML statement has run.
