I have a program to generate dynamic query string based on input. This query may select from any tables or joined tables in my DB, and the column names and number of columns are unknown.
Now with this query string as the only input, I want to fetch all data from the result and output them line by line, is there any way to do this ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank Thinkjet for the reference. I have solved the problem, to help the others, here is the piece of code I used:
DECLARE
v_curid NUMBER;
v_desctab DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB;
v_colcnt NUMBER;
v_name_var VARCHAR2(10000);
v_num_var NUMBER;
v_date_var DATE;
v_row_num NUMBER;
p_sql_stmt VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
v_curid := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
p_sql_stmt :='SELECT * FROM emp';
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(v_curid, p_sql_stmt, DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
DBMS_SQL.DESCRIBE_COLUMNS(v_curid, v_colcnt, v_desctab);
-- Define columns:
FOR i IN 1 .. v_colcnt LOOP
IF v_desctab(i).col_type = 2 THEN
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_curid, i, v_num_var);
ELSIF v_desctab(i).col_type = 12 THEN
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_curid, i, v_date_var);
ELSE
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_curid, i, v_name_var, 50);
END IF;
END LOOP;
v_row_num := dbms_sql.execute(v_curid);
-- Fetch rows with DBMS_SQL package:
WHILE DBMS_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(v_curid) > 0 LOOP
FOR i IN 1 .. v_colcnt LOOP
IF (v_desctab(i).col_type = 1) THEN
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_curid, i, v_name_var);
ELSIF (v_desctab(i).col_type = 2) THEN
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_curid, i, v_num_var);
ELSIF (v_desctab(i).col_type = 12) THEN
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_curid, i, v_date_var);
END IF;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(v_curid);
END;

You can do that with DBMS_SQL
package.
