PL/SQL Collections (Using User-Defined Types)

This section describes the migration syntax of Oracle PL/SQL Collections. The migration syntax decides how the keywords/features are migrated.

A user-defined type (UDT) is a data type that is derived from a supported data type.

UDT determines how data behaves and is structured in applications, using both built-in and user-defined data types. UDT makes it easier to work with PL/SQL collections.

UDT Table

The table type is created to track the structure of the UDT. No data will be stored in the table.

Input - CREATE TABLE TYPE

1
CREATE <OR REPLACE> TYPE <schema.>inst_no_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2 (32767);

Output

1
2
CREATE TABLE<schema.>mig_inst_no_type           
       ( typ_col VARCHAR2 (32767) );

UDT VArray

Input - CREATE VArray

1
CREATE TYPE phone_list_typ_demo AS VARRAY(n) OF VARCHAR2(25);

Output

1
2
CREATE TABLE mig_pone_list_typ_demo 
         ( typ_col VARCHAR2 (25) );

Declare UDT

Input - Declare UDT

              CREATE LOCAL TEMPORARY TABLE

                      WHERE FALSE';

           c_batchnum_null_num) = 
           v_jobnum_list(i);
      ...
   END LOOP;

Output

    LOOP
      SELECT COUNT(*) INTO v_abc
         FROM ...

                WHERE typ_idx_col = i);
      ...
   END LOOP;
   ... 

UDT Record

EXTEND

GaussDB(DWS) supports keyword EXTEND.

          RETURN v_strlist ;

RECORD

The Record type declared in the package specification is actually used in the corresponding package body.

After plsqlCollection is set to varray, UDT will be migrated as VARRY.

Input – RECORD

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION func1 (i1 INT)
RETURN INT

Naming Convention of Type Name

User-defined types allow for the definition of data types that model the structure and behavior of the data in an application.

Input

CREATE
     TYPE t_line AS ( product_line VARCHAR2 ( 30 )
                                ,product_amount NUMBER ) ;
;

Output

CREATE
     TYPE sad_dml_product_pkg.t_line AS ( product_line VARCHAR2 ( 30 )
                                                                          ,product_amount NUMBER ) ;

Input

CREATE
     TYPE t_line AS ( product_line VARCHAR2 ( 30 )
                                ,product_amount NUMBER ) ;

Output

CREATE
     TYPE SAD.sad_dml_product_pkg#t_line AS ( product_line VARCHAR2 ( 30 )
                                                                                   ,product_amount NUMBER ) ;
  • For the first output(pkg.t),if pkgSchemaNaming is set to true in the configuration, PL RECORD migration should have package name as a schema name along with a type name.
  • For the second output (pkg#t), assume that TYPE belongs to sad_dml_product_pkg package.

If pkgSchemaNaming is set to false in the configuration, PL RECORD migration should have schema name as a schema name along with a package name + a type name separated by # as a type name.

SUBTYPE

PL/SQL's SUBTYPE statement enables the creation of aliases for user-defined subtypes or predefined data types, also known as abstract data types.

Input

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE "SAD"."BAS_SUBTYPE_PKG" IS
SUBTYPE CURRENCY IS BAS_PRICE_LIST_T.CURRENCY%TYPE;
END bas_subtype_pkg;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "SAD"."BAS_SUBTYPE_PKG" IS
BEGIN
  NULL;
END bas_subtype_pkg;
/
--********************************************************************
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY SAD.bas_lookup_misc_pkg IS
  FUNCTION get_currency(pi_price_type IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    v_currency bas_subtype_pkg.currency;
  BEGIN
    g_func_name := 'get_currency';
    FOR rec_currency IN (SELECT currency FROM sad_price_type_v WHERE price_type_code = pi_price_type)
    LOOP
      v_currency := rec_currency.currency;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN v_currency;
  END get_currency;
 END SAD.bas_lookup_misc_pkg;
 /

Output

 CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION SAD.bas_lookup_misc_pk#get_currency(pi_price_type IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    v_currency BAS_PRICE_LIST_T.CURRENCY%TYPE;
  BEGIN
    g_func_name := 'get_currency';
    FOR rec_currency IN (SELECT currency FROM sad_price_type_v WHERE price_type_code = pi_price_type)
    LOOP
      v_currency := rec_currency.currency;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN v_currency;
  END ;
 /

Since GaussDB(DWS) does not support SUBTYPE, you will have to substitute it with the actual type that was used when creating the SUBTYPE variable.
