PL/Scope 12.2: Find all commits and rollbacks in your code

Yes, another post on PL/Scope, that awesome code analysis feature of PL/SQL (first added in 11., and then given a major upgrade in 12.2 with the analysis of SQL statements in PL/SQL code)!

A question on StackOverflow included this comment:
But there can be scenarios where it is difficult to identify where the ROLLBACK statement are executed in a complex PL SQL program (if you have to do only a modification to the existing code).
As of 12.2, it is super-duper easy to find all commits and rollbacks in your code.

Find all commits:

SELECT st.object_name,
       st.object_type,
       st.line,
       src.text
  FROM all_statements st, all_source src
 WHERE     st.TYPE = 'COMMIT'
       AND st.object_name = src.name
       AND st.owner = src.owner
       AND st.line = src.line
ORDER BY st.object_name,
         st.object_type   
/

Find all rollbacks:

SELECT st.object_name,
       st.object_type,
       st.line,
       src.text
  FROM all_statements st, all_source src
 WHERE     st.TYPE = 'ROLLBACK'
       AND st.object_name = src.name
       AND st.owner = src.owner
       AND st.line = src.line
ORDER BY st.object_name,
         st.object_type   
/

Reminder: these data dictionary views are populated only when your session or program unit has these settings enabled:

ALTER SESSION SET plscope_settings='identifiers:all, statements:all'

  1. Hi Steve,
    is there a difference when I execute the query as simple SQL or inside a PL/SQL procedure?
    In the latter case it returns no rows for an object belonging to another schema for which I have been granted DEBUG and EXECUTE priveleges.
    Do I need some extra privileges in that case?
    It puzzles me...

    Thank you
    Flavio

    1. The code in those other schemas must be compiled with PL/Scope enabled, otherwise there will be no data for them. Other than that, execute should do it.

    2. Thank you, I'll check it out tomorrow.

Running out of PGA memory with MULTISET ops? Watch out for DISTINCT!

A PL/SQL team inside Oracle made excellent use of nested tables and MULTISET operators in SQL, blending data in tables with procedurally-generated datasets (nested tables).  All was going well when they hit the dreaded: ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 2032 bytes  They asked for my help.  The error occurred on this SELECT: SELECT  *    FROM header_tab trx    WHERE (generated_ntab1 SUBMULTISET OF trx.column_ntab)       AND ((trx.column_ntab MULTISET             EXCEPT DISTINCT generated_ntab2) IS EMPTY) The problem is clearly related to the use of those nested tables. Now, there was clearly sufficient PGA for the nested tables themselves. So the problem was in executing the MULTISET-related functionality. We talked for a bit about dropping the use of nested tables and instead doing everything in SQL, to avoid the PGA error. That would, however require lots of work, revamping algorithms, ensuring correctness, you know the score. Then my eyes snagge

How to Pick the Limit for BULK COLLECT

This question rolled into my In Box today: In the case of using the LIMIT clause of BULK COLLECT, how do we decide what value to use for the limit? First I give the quick answer, then I provide support for that answer Quick Answer Start with 100. That's the default (and only) setting for cursor FOR loop optimizations. It offers a sweet spot of improved performance over row-by-row and not-too-much PGA memory consumption. Test to see if that's fast enough (likely will be for many cases). If not, try higher values until you reach the performance level you need - and you are not consuming too much PGA memory.  Don't hard-code the limit value: make it a parameter to your subprogram or a constant in a package specification. Don't put anything in the collection you don't need. [from Giulio Dottorini] Remember: each session that runs this code will use that amount of memory. Background When you use BULK COLLECT, you retrieve more than row with each fetch,

Quick Guide to User-Defined Types in Oracle PL/SQL

A Twitter follower recently asked for more information on user-defined types in the PL/SQL language, and I figured the best way to answer is to offer up this blog post. PL/SQL is a strongly-typed language . Before you can work with a variable or constant, it must be declared with a type (yes, PL/SQL also supports lots of implicit conversions from one type to another, but still, everything must be declared with a type). PL/SQL offers a wide array of pre-defined data types , both in the language natively (such as VARCHAR2, PLS_INTEGER, BOOLEAN, etc.) and in a variety of supplied packages (e.g., the NUMBER_TABLE collection type in the DBMS_SQL package). Data types in PL/SQL can be scalars, such as strings and numbers, or composite (consisting of one or more scalars), such as record types, collection types and object types. You can't really declare your own "user-defined" scalars, though you can define subtypes  from those scalars, which can be very helpful from the p
