Create SQL from parameters including FROM clause












0















Is it possible to create a stored procedure that calls a SQL statement with a parameter in the select statement and another in the FROM clause?



It sees to me that is not possible, but I don't know much about pl/sql.



The code below is not working of course. Any help would be greatly appreciated.



CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procedure1 table1 VARCHAR(100)
field1 VARCHAR(100)
IS
BEGIN
FOR I IN (SELECT field1
FROM TABLE (table1)
WHERE field1 IS NOT NULL)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Field_name : ' || I.FIELD_NAME);
END LOOP;
END procedure1;

    Yes it is possible with dynamic SQL but you expose yourself to SQL Injection attacks

  • By the way, tables have columns not fields.

I think you can construct the SQL in a variable and execute it. It should work.



CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CRAZY_PROC (tableName    VARCHAR2,
fieldName VARCHAR2)
AS
sqlString VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
sqlString := 'select ' || fieldName || ' from ' || tableName;

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (sqlString);
END;
/
