Create views on the fly?

Ugh. Sorry, but that's really ugly IMO.

It would be much easier to use a refcursor.

Example follows.

Jared

ref_cursor_test.sql

var tables_rc refcursor;

prompt Table Owner?:
col cowner noprint new_value uowner
set term off feed off
select upper('&1') cowner from dual;
set term on feed on

begin

   open :tables_rc for
   select table_name, tablespace_name
   from all_tables
   where owner = '&&uowner';

end;
/

print tables_rc;

undef 1

Hi,
Someone posted the past week the solution of something like that.

He referred to create package and pass the date as a parameter to it and have a procedure, inside the package, that create the view using the parameter date.

That what I can recall.

Good luck,

De: root_at_fatcity.com [mailto:root_at_fatcity.com]En nombre de William Rogge Enviado el: Tuesday, 18 September, 2001 10:47 AM Para: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Asunto: Need assistance with a 'VIEW'.

I have been given the nice task of creating a view of some data in our database.

This doesn't seem like a major task, but after 2 days of work, I am stumped.

Given table 'table1'

   code1,
   code2,
   date,
   value1,
   value2

I need to produce a view showing

   code1,
   code2,
   sum(value1),
   sum(value2)
  where date < 'user input date'

I have not been able to get the view to prompt for the date to limit the sum
by.

Specifics:
Oracle RDMBS 7.3.4
Server: Unix

What else can I say, but I am totally stumped. HELP!
