Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and PL/SQL variables - SOLVED
Sorry listers,
I spent a bit of time searching Google and quickly found my answer. I shouldn't have rushed to post to the list. The answer is to move the INTO clause outside of the string as shown below:
DECLARE
n_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM DUAL' INTO n_count;
dbms_output.put_line('Number is '||n_count);
END;

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
Hi List,
I know someone will have a good answer to this question:
I have a large PL/SQL program to convert some data. Some tables are created dynamically during the PL/SQL procedure using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. I need to query values from some of these tables (only a couple of rows, so performance is a non-issue currently). Since the tables don't exist at compilation time I thought about putting them into EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statements to enable the PL/SQL to compile. My problem, therefore, is how do I get a figure from such a statement back into a normal variable?
I really don't want to break the conversion process into several PL/SQL blocks if there is a way to avoid this. Does anyone know of a tidy way to accomplish this? I'm willing to accept any ideas currently.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.
What, for example, is the equivalent of:
DECLARE
n_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COUNT(*) INTO n_count FROM DUAL';
dbms_output.put_line('Number is '||n_count);
END;
