Examples

Create or replace anystring(string IN varchar2) as

Begin
Execute_immediate(string);
End;

execute anystring(create table emp(name varchar2 , age number(3), salary
number(20)));



1 10G PL/SQL
Using USING clause
USING clause is used along with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement
to pass parameter as Bind variable.

Example:
Declare
Symbol varchar(4) := WOND;
Begin
Execute immediate delete from stock where symbol = :symbol
Using Symbol;
End;


2 10G PL/SQL
Using RETURNING INTO clause
RETURNING INTO clause allows us to return column values for rows
affected by DML statements.

Example:
Declare
Emp_id number := 1001;
Salary_Bonus_percent number := 10;
New_salary number;
Begin
Execute immediate Update emp set salary = salary + (salary*
: Salary_Bonus_percent ) where emp_id = :emp_id returning salary into
:New_salary
using Salary_Bonus_percent , emp_id
Returning into New_salary;
End;


3 10G PL/SQL
Using DBMS_SQL
Prior to Oracle 9i , Dynamic SQL required the use of DBMS_SQL package
which gives greated control over the processing flow with in the
Dynamic SQL, but it is generally more complicated to write than the
native dynamic SQL.

Create or replace procedure anystring(string IN varchar2) is
Begin
Cursor_name integer;
Ret integer;
Cursor_name := DBMS_SQL.open_cursor;
DBMS_SQL.parse(cursor_name , string,DBMS_SQL.Native);
Ret := DBMS_SQL.execute(cursor_name);
DBMS_SQL.close_cursor(cursor_name);
End;


4 10G PL/SQL
Using DBMS_SQL
Execute anystring (drop table CD);

Execute anystring(create table CD (Artist varchar2(25).Title varchar2(25));

Execute anystring(Insert into CD values (MLTR,Sleeping Child));

Using BIND_VARIABLE and BIND_ARRAY procedures:

This procedures are used in passing parameter as Bind variables to dynamic sql
statements.BIND_ARRAY is used to pass more than one parameter.

Usage:-


5 10G PL/SQL
Using DBMS_SQL
Usage:-

DBMS_SQL.Parse(cursor_name,delete from CD where Artist = :artist,DBMS_SQL.Native);
DBMS_SQL.BIND_VARIABLE(cursor_name,:artist,artist_name);

Where artist_name is a parameter which is already declared or passed from calling
environment.

Use BIND_ARRAY To pass more than one parameter.
Usage:-

Declare
cursor_name Integer := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
Ret Integer;
emp_num dbms_sql.number_table;
emp_var dbms_sql.varchar2_table;





6 10G PL/SQL
Using DBMS_SQL
begin
dbms_sql.parse(cursor_name,'insert into emp(emp_id,emp_name) values ( :a, :b
)',dbms_sql.native );
emp_num(1) := 1001;
emp_num(2) := 1002;
emp_var(1) := 'John';
emp_var(2) := 'Naveen';
dbms_sql.bind_array(cursor_name, ':a', emp_num );
dbms_sql.bind_array(cursor_name, ':b', emp_var );
Ret := dbms_sql.execute(cursor_name);
dbms_sql.close_cursor(cursor_name);
end;





7 10G PL/SQL
Using DBMS_SQL
Using DEFINE_COLUMN function:
If your cursor performs a query, you must execute this function once for each column
being selected.Is it basically used to define the datatype and size of the variables that
will receive data from the Fetch_Rows() function


If the column defined with LONG datatype , then DEFINE_COLUMN_LONG must be
used.
Usage:-
.
DBMS_SQL.parse(cursor_name, select artist,title from CD, dbms_sql.native);
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(cursor_name,1,artist,25);
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(cursor_name,2,title,25);
.

8 10G PL/SQL
Using DBMS_SQL
Using FETCH_ROWS:
This function fetches a single row of data into the local buffer. This data can
then be stored in local variables by using the Column_Value() procedure.

Ret := DBMS_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(cursor_name);

Using COLUMN_VALUE:
This procedure stores the fetched single row of data into local variables.

DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(cursor_name,1,artist);
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(cursor_name,2,title);

9 10G PL/SQL
Using DBMS_SQL
Using VARIABLE_VALUE:

BEGIN
cursor_name := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse(cursor_name, 'INSERT INTO emp VALUES
(:empid,:salary,:bonus_percent) ' ||
'returning salary+(salary*bonus_percent) into :new_salary', dbms_sql.native);

dbms_sql.bind_variable(cursor_name, 'empid', v_empid);
dbms_sql.bind_variable(cursor_name, 'salary', v_salary);
dbms_sql.bind_variable(cursor_name, 'bonus_percent', v_bonus_percent);
dbms_sql.bind_variable(cursor_name, 'new_salary', v_new_salary);
n := dbms_sql.execute(c);
dbms_sql.variable_value(cursor_name, 'new_salary', v_new_salary); -- get value
of outbind
dbms_sql.close_cursor(c);
END;
