Hi All,

My Requirement is to transpose data in a table and then do a join with another table and finally insert the fetched data in to a Table.I'm new to PL/SQL.

I tried writing a little not sure if it is correct.Can Someone help correcting the error in this code .I would like to register this as procedure finally.

Any help would be appreciated and it would help me learn.

DECLARE
V_RINGGOLD_ID;
V_RINGGOLD_NAME;
V_RINGGOLD_SUBJECT;
V_RINGGOLD_SUBJECT_MAPPING;
V_PQ_SUBJECT;
CURSOR RG_SUBJ
IS
SELECT DISTINCT RINGGOLD_ID FROM PQINF.RINGGOLD_IDENTIFY_SUBJECTS;

CURSOR PQ_SUBJ
IS 
 WITH
      ringgold as (
         select RINGGOLD_ID, RINGGOLD_NAME,
                to_char(regexp_substr(SUBJECTS, '[^,]+', 1, column_value)) RINGGOLD_SUBJECT
         from (select * from PQINF.RINGGOLD_IDENTIFY_SUBJECTS where ringgold_id=RG_SUBJ.RINGGOLD_ID),
             table(cast(multiset(select level from dual
                                 connect by level <= regexp_count(SUBJECTS,',')+1)
                    as sys.odciNumberList))
         where rownum > 0
     )
 SELECT  a.RINGGOLD_ID, a.RINGGOLD_NAME,a.RINGGOLD_SUBJECT,z.ringgold_subject ringgold_subject_mapping,z.PQ_SUBJECT
 FROM ringgold a, PQINF.PQ_GOLD_SUBJECTS z
 WHERE a.ringgold_subject=z.ringgold_subject(+)
 ORDER by 1, 2, 3, 4;
 BEGIN 
 OPEN PQ_SUBJ;
 LOOP
 FETCH PQ_SUBJ INTO V_RINGGOLD_ID,V_RINGGOLD_NAME,V_RINGGOLD_SUBJECT,V_RINGGOLD_SUBJECT_MAPPING,V_PQ_SUBJECT;
 EXIT 
 WHEN PQ_SUBJ%NOTFOUND;
 INSERT INTO PQINF.PQ_RINGGOLD_MAPPING(RINGGOLD_ID,RINGGOLD_NAME,RINGGOLD_SUBJECT,RINGGOLD_SUBJECT_MAPPING,PQ_SUBJECT)
 END LOOP;
 CLOSE PQ_SUBJ;
 END;

It's hard to fix errors we can't see.
Post the full error code.

That said - you can and should do this as a single insert/select statement - no cursors, no loops.
Write a select that gets the data you want then plug it into an insert statement.

Hi Cookie Monster,

The Table -PQINF.RINGGOLD_IDENTIFY_SUBJECTS has 22k records and table PQINF.PQ_GOLD_SUBJECTS has 918 records.

The end result is too huge as I need whole matching .So I thought Pl/sql code might help get the data quicker.Please correct me if wrong

Can you tell me how can use the Insert statement along with this SELECT

WITH
      ringgold as (
         select RINGGOLD_ID, RINGGOLD_NAME,
                to_char(regexp_substr(SUBJECTS, '[^,]+', 1, column_value)) RINGGOLD_SUBJECT
         from (select * from PQINF.RINGGOLD_IDENTIFY_SUBJECTS),
             table(cast(multiset(select level from dual
                                 connect by level <= regexp_count(SUBJECTS,',')+1)
                    as sys.odciNumberList))
         where rownum > 0
     )
   select  a.RINGGOLD_ID, a.RINGGOLD_NAME,a.RINGGOLD_SUBJECT,z.ringgold_subject ringgold_subject_mapping, z.PQ_SUBJECT
  from ringgold a, PQINF.PQ_GOLD_SUBJECTS z
 where a.ringgold_subject=z.ringgold_subject(+)
 order by 1, 2, 3, 4

You are wrong.
a row by row INSERT will be MUCH slower than single SQL statement

Of course, you can do
INSERT INTO [i]table_name[/i] (<columns_list_goes here>) SELECT <columns_list_goes here> FROM tables/joins .. WHERE clause ..

Or, if you want to use the WITH clause you posted above, you could simply do:

INSERT INTO [i]your_table[/i] ( columns_you_referred_in_select_below)
WITH
      ringgold as (
         select RINGGOLD_ID, RINGGOLD_NAME,
                to_char(regexp_substr(SUBJECTS, '[^,]+', 1, column_value)) RINGGOLD_SUBJECT
         from (select * from PQINF.RINGGOLD_IDENTIFY_SUBJECTS),
             table(cast(multiset(select level from dual
                                 connect by level <= regexp_count(SUBJECTS,',')+1)
                    as sys.odciNumberList))
         where rownum > 0
     )
   select  a.RINGGOLD_ID, a.RINGGOLD_NAME,a.RINGGOLD_SUBJECT,z.ringgold_subject ringgold_subject_mapping, z.PQ_SUBJECT
  from ringgold a, PQINF.PQ_GOLD_SUBJECTS z
 where a.ringgold_subject=z.ringgold_subject(+)
 order by 1, 2, 3, 4

Thanks Lalith

I ran it with Insert statement 20 min earlier.It is still running as the data is around 22k.

Not sure if there is any way to speed up the process.

May be a small example would help you:

SQL> CREATE TABLE t (num NUMBER);

table T created.


SQL> INSERT INTO t (num)
WITH DATA AS
(
  SELECT LEVEL FROM dual
  CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 10
)
SELECT * FROM DATA;

10 rows inserted.


SQL> SELECT * FROM t;

       NUM
----------
         1 
         2 
         3 
         4 
         5 
         6 
         7 
         8 
         9 
        10 

 10 rows selected

I see you replied almost around same time I posted an example above. Looks like you already figured out how to do the INSERT.

Coming to your question about making the INSERT more efficient, there are ways to do it, like using APPEND hint with NOLOGGING clause. Direct-path inserts are faster than conventional-path inserts. However, there a lot of factors you need to consider, and number of restrictions.

I recommend you to do more research on this. There are plenty of materials on the Web about this topic. And, test it to understand better before you attempt any of this in PRODUCTION. Of course, once you do your research, and have any outstanding questions, you could always come back here with specific details.

The problem has a background that started in this topic then continue in PM to lead to the SELECT part you have here (without the outer join that was later added by OP).
I hope he will explain you with more details the problem and post the required information for SQL performances question as I asked him in PM.

The Outer Join is required as we need to get the values which are not matched in one of table.

The only Index i created is on Ringgold_id in table PQINF.RINGGOLD_IDENTIFY_SUBJECTS

Ah, OK! This is a continuation of a previous question by OP. Thanks for the details, Michel.
