confusion about using types instead of gtts in oracle
- by Omnipresent
I am trying to convert queries like below to types so that I won't have to use GTT:
insert into my_gtt_table_1
(house, lname, fname, MI, fullname, dob)
(select house, lname, fname, MI, fullname, dob
from (select 'REG' house, mbr_last_name lname, mbr_first_name fname, mbr_mi MI,
mbr_first_name || mbr_mi || mbr_last_name fullname, mbr_dob dob from
table_1 a, table_b
where a.head = b.head and mbr_number = '01' and mbr_last_name = v_last_name) c
above is just a sample but complex queries are bigger than this.
the above is inside a stored procedure. So to avoid the gtt (my_gtt_table_1). I did the following:
create or replace type lname_row as object
(
house varchar2(30)
lname varchar2(30),
fname varchar2(30),
MI char(1),
fullname VARCHAR2(63),
dob DATE
)
create or replace type lname_exact as table of lname_row
Now in the SP:
type lname_exact is table of <what_table_should_i_put_here>%rowtype;
tab_a_recs lname_exact;
In the above I am not sure what table to put as my query has nested subqueries.
query in the SP: (I am trying this for sample purpose to see if it works)
select lname_row('',
'',
'',
'',
'',
'',
sysdate) bulk collect
into tab_a_recs
from table_1;
I am getting errors like : ORA-00913: too many values
I am really confused and stuck with this :(
