UPDATE: ORACLE VERSION 10G I have a list of records in Oracle as follows, these are actually sections of various books The records are generated in the below format [main topic].[sub topic].[first level section] ..... .[last level section] Sections -------- 1 7.1 6.2 7.1 7.4 6.8.3 6.8.2 10 1.1 7.6 6.1 11 8.3 8.5 1.1.2 6.4 6.6 8.4 1.1.6 6.8.1 7.7.1 7.5 7.3 I want to order this like as follows 1 1.1 1.1.2 1.1.6 6.2 6.4 6.5 6.6 6.7 6.8.1 6.8.2 6.8.3 7.2 7.3 7.4 7.5 7.6 7.7.1 7.7.2 8.3 8.4 8.5 10 But as the field is not a numeric datatype the sorting results in something like this 1 10 1.1 1.1.2 1

I'm trying to debug a SELECT inside a procedure, and I'm trying to this using a anonymous block. I would like that SQL Developer simply return the last SELECT statement, but I get the error: ORA-06550: line 21, column 5: PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement Inside the procedure, I have an INTO for that select, but is there a simple way that I can simply get the results for the last SELECT statement for my debugging? I'm using anonymous block and variables so that the code is as similar as possible from what's actually inside the procedure, so that I don't have to

On Query 1 a full table scan is being performed even though the id is an indexed column. Query 2 achieves the same result but much faster. If Query 1 is run returning an indexed column then it returns quickly but if non-indexed columns are returned or the entire row is then the query takes longer. In Query 3 it runs fast but the column 'code' is a VARCHAR2(10) in stead of a NUMBER(12) and is indexed the same way as 'id'. Why does Query 1 not pick up that it should use the index? Is there something that should be changed to allow indexed number columns to perform quicker? [Query 1] select a1.*

I want to run a CREATE DIRECTORY query in Oracle 10, but it's giving me an insufficient privileges error. Can anybody tell me how to grant this privilege to my user through the system as a user? From the Oracle 10gR2 documentation : You must have CREATE ANY DIRECTORY system privilege to create directories. You would use the following command to grant the privilege to the schema that will create the directory: SQL> GRANT CREATE ANY DIRECTORY TO vnz; Grant succeeded As always with the privileges ANY , be careful who you will grant them to. It is indeed a powerful privilege best left to DBAs.

This question already has answers here : Closed 5 years ago . How can I combine multiple rows into a comma-delimited list in Oracle? [duplicate] (11 answers) I have data that looks like CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER_ID, PRODUCT ABC INC 1 XYX ABC INC 1 ZZZ DEF CO 2 XYX DEF CO 2 ZZZ DEF CO 2 WWW GHI LLC 3 ZYX I'd like to write a query that'd make the data look like this: CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER_ID, PRODUCTS ABC INC 1 XYX, ZZZ DEF CO 2 XYX, ZZZ, WWW GHI LLC 3 ZYX Using Oracle 10g if helps. I saw something that would work using MYSQL, but I need a plain SQL or ORACLE equivalent. I've also seen examples of stored

I am using Oracle 10.2. I am working in some scripts to move some ORACLE Objects from one SCHEMA (S1) to another (S2). I am creating the functions with DBA role. When moved, one of my functions becomes invalid, but I don't understand why. Its code goes along these lines: MY_FUNC CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION S2."MY_FUNC" RETURN VARCHAR2 IS something VARCHAR2; othervar VARCHAR2 (50):= 'TEST'; BEGIN something := S2.MY_FUNC2(); /*some code*/ return othervar; END; / If I use MY_FUNC2 without the schema, It works: something := MY_FUNC2(); instead of something := S2.MY_FUNC2(); My_FUNC2 CREATE OR
