Oracle PL/SQL Nested Tables Nested tables are similar to index by table but these can be stored in database columns but index by tables cannot be stored in database columns.
A Nested tablecan be considered as a single-column table that can either be in memory, or as a column in a database table. A nested table is quite similar to a VARRAY with the exception that the order of the elements is not static. Elements can be deleted or added anywhere in the nested table where as a VARRAY can only add or delete elements from the end of the array. Nested Table is known as a sparse collection because a nested table can contain empty elements.
Nested tables are a superior choice when: You need to delete or update some elements, but not all the elements at once.The index values are not consecutive.We don’t have any predefined upper bound for index values.Example 1 of Pl/SQL Nested Table. Database Triggers Overview. The CREATE TRIGGER statement has a lot of permutations, but the vast majority of the questions I'm asked relate to basic DML triggers.
Of those, the majority are related to people misunderstanding the order of the timing points and how they are affected by bulk-bind operations and exceptions. This article represents the bare minimum you should understand about triggers before you consider writing one. Related articles. DML Triggers The Basics For a full syntax description of the CREATE TRIGGER statement, check out the documentation shown here. CREATE [OR REPLACE] TRIGGER schema.trigger-name {BEFORE | AFTER} dml-event ON table-name [FOR EACH ROW] [DECLARE ...]
The mandatory BEFORE or AFTER keyword and the optional FOR EACH ROW clause define the timing point for the trigger, which is explained below. The "dml-event" can be one or more of the following. INSERT UPDATE UPDATE FOR column-name[, column-name ...] The Trouble with Triggers. TECHNOLOGY: Ask Tom By Tom Kyte Our technologist looks at trigger maintenance and implementation challenges.
Those of you who frequent the asktom.oracle.com Web site know that I have an aversion to triggers. Once upon a time, a long time ago, I thought triggers were the coolest thing ever and I used (and abused) them heavily. Now, whenever possible, I will go very far out of my way to avoid a trigger. CREATE TRIGGER. Purpose Use the CREATE TRIGGER statement to create and enable a database trigger, which is: A stored PL/SQL block associated with a table, a schema, or the database orAn anonymous PL/SQL block or a call to a procedure implemented in PL/SQL or Java Oracle Database automatically executes a trigger when specified conditions occur.
When you create a trigger, the database enables it automatically. Avoiding Mutating Tables. Ok, so you've just recieved the error: ORA-04091: table XXXX is mutating, trigger/function may not see it and you want to get around that.
Using PL/SQL With Object Types. Object-oriented programming is especially suited for building reusable components and complex applications.
In PL/SQL, object-oriented programming is based on object types. They let you model real-world objects, separate interfaces and implementation details, and store object-oriented data persistently in the database. Declaring and Initializing Objects in PL/SQL An object type can represent any real-world entity. For example, an object type can represent a student, bank account, computer screen, rational number, or data structure such as a queue, stack, or list. Currently, you cannot define object types in a PL/SQL block, subprogram, or package. For information on the CREATE TYPE SQL statement, see Oracle Database SQL Reference. After an object type is defined and installed in the schema, you can use it to declare objects in any PL/SQL block, subprogram, or package. Such objects follow the usual scope and instantiation rules.
Example 12-1 Working With Object Types The output is: Error: ORA-01033 ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress <=== what is this mean?
