Brug af Oracle:Kan jeg bruge 'dynamisk' oprettet variabel i pivot-klausulen?

For 12c og derover kan du bruge DBMS_SQL.RETURN_RESULT ved at åbne en REFCURSOR for den dynamiske PIVOT forespørgsel.

Jeg har fjernet den berygtede (+) syntaks for left join , brug altid ANSI join syntaks.

DECLARE
    exam_ids   VARCHAR2(255);
    x          SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
    SELECT
        LISTAGG(''''
                  || exam_id
                  || ''' AS "'
                  || exam_name
                  || '"',',') WITHIN GROUP(
            ORDER BY
                exam_id DESC
        )
    INTO exam_ids
    FROM
        exam;

    OPEN x FOR 'SELECT
        *
               FROM
        (
            SELECT
                u.user_id,
                u.user_name,
                e.exam_id,
                eu.exam_date
            FROM
                users u
                LEFT JOIN exam_user eu ON u.user_id = eu.user_id
                LEFT JOIN exam e ON e.exam_id = eu.exam_id
            ORDER BY
                u.user_id
        )
            PIVOT ( MAX ( exam_date )
                FOR exam_id
                IN ( ' || EXAM_IDS || ' )
            )
    ORDER BY
        1';

    dbms_sql.return_result(x);
END;

For 11g kan du bruge en bindevariabel og print kommando (virker i sqlplus og i sql developer/Toad, når den køres som script (F5))

variable x REFCURSOR  -- bind variable declared.
DECLARE
    ..   -- no need to declare sys_refcursor
BEGIN
     ..

    OPEN :x FOR 'SELECT . --note the change with colon
        *
               FROM
        (
            SELECT
            ..

END;
/


print x
