Firebird SQL cursor repeat last row - stored-procedures

to begin, sorry for my English. I'm starting with cursors in FirebirdSQL 2.5, writing some stored procedures for a sales register system.
In this case I need to calculate the credit card's taxes that are cashed by the banks in my country from the sales that the system record. Here is the SP code:
create or alter procedure CURSOR_POC
returns (
ID int,
PRICE decimal(15,2),
TAX decimal(15,2))
as
declare variable GO_ON char(1);
declare MY_CURSOR cursor for (
select CARD.CODE, sum(SALE.PRICE)
from CARD join SALE on CARD.CODE = SALE.CARD_CODE
where SALE.SALE_DATE = '14.10.2015'
group by CARD_CODE);
begin
open MY_CURSOR;
GO_ON = 'Y';
while(GO_ON='Y') do
begin
fetch MY_CURSOR into :ID, :PRICE;
if (row_count = 1) then
begin
TAX = PRICE * (select CARD.TAXES from CARD where CARD.CODE = :ID);
suspend;
end else GO_ON = 'N';
end
close MY_CURSOR;
suspend;
end
When I run the SP, its execute just fine but always show the last row twice. For instance, if I run the query in a separate file Firebird give me 10 rows, but when I run the SP I got 11 rows.
Any help will be grateful. In advance, thank you very much.
P.D.: I "translate" the tables and attributes names in order to make it more understable.
P.D.2: the date filter ("dd/mm/yyyy" format) in the definition of the cursor was only define to test de stored procedure.

I will answer myself (a professor help me in a private forum from my University).The solution was as simple as erase the last "suspend" from the stored procedure. So that, the code should be
(...previous code...)
if (row_count = 1) then
begin
TAX = PRICE * (select CARD.TAXES from CARD where CARD.CODE = :ID);
suspend;
end else GO_ON = 'N';
end
close MY_CURSOR;
end

Stored procedure output how to return result of multi rows select

I'm working with sybase (15) and I'm trying to write a store procedure which will return a list of rows through a SELECT. Unfortunately, it seems that sybase is not supporting to pass a TABLE as variable output, so I'm not able to see the result of my store procedure.
Create Proc list_employers (
#code int
)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT * from employers where code_type = #code
END
The output should be a table with the name, surname of all employers with the same code.
How can I achieve that?

An example of a Cursor & UPDATE statement in conjunction inside a procedure on Redshift

Would you please provide an an example for a Redshift procedure where you have used a cursor and an UPDATE statement in conjunction? Is that even feasible, I couldn't find an example. I'm looking for a simple template code to learn how to have these 2 together in a single procedure on Redshift.
Here is an example use case:
I have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE test_tbl
(
Contactid VARCHAR(500),
sfdc_OppId_01 VARCHAR(500),
sfdc_OppId_02 VARCHAR(500),
sfdc_OppId_03 VARCHAR(500),
sfdc_OppId_04 VARCHAR(500),
sfdc_OppId_05 VARCHAR(500),
sfdc_OppId_06 VARCHAR(500)
)
I want to update each sfdc_OppId_xx with the relative value from another table; sfdc_tbl. Here is what sfdc_tbl looks like:
sfdc_contactId
sfdc_Opp_Id
AA123hgt
999999
AA123hgt
888888
AA123hgt
777777
AA123hgt
432567
AA123hgt
098765
AA123hgt
112789
So as you see, there are duplicate sfdc_contactid in the sfdc_tbl. My final goal is to list all the sfdc_Opp_Id for given contactid horizontally in the test_tbl. I shall not have duplicate contactid in the test_tbl.
INSERT INTO test_tbl (Contactid)
SELECT sfdc_contactId
FROM sfdc_tbl
GROUP BY sfdc_contactId
And here is what I'm trying to do:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE testing_procedure (results INOUT refcursor)
AS
$$
BEGIN
OPEN cursor_testing FOR
SELECT
Ops.sfdc_Opp.id,
ROW_NUMBER () OVER(PARTITION BY Ops.sfdc_contactId ORDER BY sfdc_Opp_Id ) RWN
FROM sfdc_tbl Ops
INNER JOIN test_tbl tbl
ON Ops.sfdc_contactId = tbl.contactid;
UPDATE test_tbl
SET sfdc_Opp_01 = CASE WHEN cursor_testing.RWN = 1 THEN cursor_testing.sfdc_Ops_id ELSE NULL END,
sfdc_Opp_02 = CASE WHEN cursor_testing.RWN = 2 THEN cursor_testing.sfdc_Ops_id ELSE NULL END,
sfdc_Opp_03 = CASE WHEN cursor_testing.RWN = 3 THEN cursor_testing.sfdc_Ops_id ELSE NULL END,
sfdc_Opp_04 = CASE WHEN cursor_testing.RWN = 4 THEN cursor_testing.sfdc_Ops_id ELSE NULL END,
sfdc_Opp_05 = CASE WHEN cursor_testing.RWN = 5 THEN cursor_testing.sfdc_Ops_id ELSE NULL END,
sfdc_Opp_06 = CASE WHEN cursor_testing.RWN = 6 THEN cursor_testing.sfdc_Ops_id ELSE NULL END
;
END;
$$

I keep getting an error
incorrect syntax at or near "cursor_testing"
I've answered a question with a similar solution. The SQL uses a cursor's data to INSERT into a table and this same path should work for UPDATE - How to join System tables or Information Schema tables with User defined tables in Redshift
That being said and looking at your code I really think you would be better off using a temp table rather than a cursor. The first thing to note is that a cursor is not a table. Your use pattern won't work AFAIK. You read a cursor row by row (or bunches) which is contrary to Redshift's columnar table storage. So you will need to loop on the rows from the cursor and perform N updates. This will be extremely slow! You would be querying columnar data, storing the results in a cursor as rows, reading these row one by one, and then performing a new query (UPDATE) for each row. Ick! Stay in "columnar land" and use a temp table.

create columns in existing table and populate data using procedure

I will try to keep the query as short as possible. This involves 2 tables - lets call them staging_data and audit_data. STAGING_DATA has 3 columns:
user_no with data type number,
update_date_time with data type as date in DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS format
status_code which is varchar(1).
audit_data table also has the same 3 columns. The ask is to add 3 columns to audit_data table
seq_no (which will be unique to every user),
active_from (date type without the time format)
active_to (date type without the time format).
There is a procedure that inserts data from staging_data to audit_data.
Sample of the table audit_data
That data in audit table should look like :
For the next record for user_no 523(lets assume update_date_time is '23-Nov-2020 10:20') seq_no becomes 3, active_from_date becomes '23-Nov-2020', active_to becomes 31-Dec-99 and the active_to of user_no 523 with seq_no 2 becomes '22-Nov-2020'. So the data should look like this :
Highlighted the 3rd record which will be added later in light green.
So here goes my solution : I suggested to use row_number() over(partition by user_no) analytical function to get seq_no for each user. I wanted to create a view based on that but Boss doesn't want a view. He strictly wants to use a procedure. Procedure should check if the user_no exists (in this example 523). If exists then seq_no increases and active_to of the previous record for 523 changes to latest active_from - 1 date. I will be honest - I have no clue how to achieve this in Procedure. I understand I can create a cursor with the query I had in my mind for the view. But to add seq_no and change active_to date is something that has puzzled me. Can anyone please guide me in right direction/s? Also I apologise in advance if I have left out any other details. Its midnight here now and after 8 hours of racking my brain on this I am very hungry!
edit 11th Mar : here is the code for the procedure I wrote to insert data into the audit table for situation when a particular user_no has no record in audit table :
create or replace procedure test_aud IS
user_found_audit number;
lv_user_no AUDIT_DATA.user_no%TYPE;
cursor member_no is select distinct user_no from STAGING_DATA;
begin
open member_no;
loop
fetch member_no into lv_user_no;
exit when member_no%notfound;
select count(*) into user_found_audit from AUDIT_DATA where user_no = lv_user_no;
if user_found_audit = 0 then
insert into AUDIT_DATA(user_no, update_date_time,status_code, seq_no, last_update_date, active_from, active_to)
select user_no, update_date_time,status_code,row_number() over(partition by user_no order by UPDATE_DATE_TIME) as seqno,
to_char(trunc(update_date_time),'DD-MON-YYYY'),
to_char(trunc(update_date_time),'DD-MON-YYYY'),
lead(to_char(trunc(update_date_time)-1,'DD-MON-YYYY'),1,'31-DEC-99') over(PARTITION BY user_no ORDER BY UPDATE_DATE_TIME) from STAGING_DATA where user_no = lv_user_no;
commit;
else
dbms_output.put_line(lv_user_no||' exists in audit table');
-- to code the block when user_no exists, involves an update and insert
end if;
end loop;
close member_no;
end;
/
Well you need to collect a couple things. The latest stage row and the latest audit row. Then it is just a matter of generating the new audit information and updating the previous latest one. The following makes a couple simplifying assumptions:
Only the latest stage data for a given user_no needs processed as
all prior have been processed, However it does not assume the stage
table has been cleared.
The sequencing of 'Y' and 'N' status_codes are properly order in
that manner. In fact it does not even check the value.
It need not concern itself with the inherent race condition. The
condition is derives from seq_no being generated as Max()+1. This
structure virtually guarantees a duplicate will eventually be
created.
The nested procedure "establish_audit" does all the actual work. The rest are just supporting characters, including a couple just for debug purpose. See fiddle.

A couple warnings:
It seems you may be tempted to use string data type for the audit
columns Active_Form and Active_to as you are trying to declare then
"date type without the time". However there is no such data type in
Oracle; time is part of all dates. Do not do so, store them as
standard dates. (Note Dates are not stored in any format, but an
internal structure. Formats are strictly a visual representation).
Just throwaway the time with the format on the query or by setting
nls_date_format.
You may be tempted to convert call this through a trigger. Do not,
it will likely result in an "ORA-04091: Table is mutating"
exception.

PL SQL Procedure Exercise

I'm not really sure how to approach this question.. I understand the basic syntax of writing a procedure. This is an exercise for a beginner database class (which seems to be at a level way above beginner)
Create a procedure to place a purchase order for a specified date based on data in the inventory report table.
Name the procedure placeorder [procedure name is important].
The procedure should take one parameter: inputDate (use the datatype of the PODate column in PURCHASEORDERS). The input date format accepted should be: 'DD-MON-YYYY', e.g., 01-JAN-2017.
For each raw material in the Inventory Report table (where: ReportDate matches inputDate), make a separate entry in the PURCHASEORDERS table for a next-day delivery order and a same-day delivery order (each raw material may generate up to 2 inserts).
Corresponding order type should be either next_day or same_day
Only make an entry (insertion) in PURCHASEORDERS if needed, i.e., if
an entry exists for a raw material and report date combination in the
Inventory Report table. If the Inventory Report for a day (e.g.,
30-NOV-2017) has a 0 value for the ordersameday attribute, it means
no same_day order is needed.
If no order is needed for the provided input date (i.e., no order at all across ALL raw materials), raise an application error with a message: “no order needed” (see Triggers and Procedures tutorial on D2L for an example of how to raise this error). You can use any suitable error-number.  Your procedure should leave the “Price” (for the purchase order) empty (i.e., it can remain null). Assume it’ll be populated later.
Thanks!
Sorry this is what i've written so far.. #kara
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE placeorder (inputDate in DATE)

There are a bunch of examples how to create a procedure. Here a small one:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ProcName (paraName IN VARCHAR2)
AS
myStringVariable VARCHAR2 (4000);
myDateVariable DATE;
BEGIN
SELECT orderDateAsString
INTO myStringVariable
FROM orders
WHERE orderId = paraName;
myDateVariable := TO_DATE (myStringVariable, 'dd.mm.yyyy HH24:MI:SS'); -- '13.03.2018 23:59:59'
dbms_output.put_line('My date: ' || myStringVariable);
END;
And some example-code, to call the procedure:
begin
ProcName('1234');
end;
But you should look at your exercise first and think about you tasks. I think, this is what you got to do:
Create a Table.
Create Insert-Statements for the table
Create some PL/SQL-code which performs the insert with conditions.
move the PL/SQL-code to a procedure.
Call the procedure with a PL/SQL-block.
Explaination for you edits
You should build your code step-by-step if. You got multiple errors.
Check you Cursor. The Select-statement is not valid.
You wrote two selects.
You do not use new_inputdate. Why did you define it and what should it do?
Run you SELECT-statement alone without your code. if you like your data you can put it in an cursor.
Example with your code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE placeorder (inputDate IN DATE)
AS
-- new_inputDate PURCHASEORDERS.PODate%TYPE; --you don't use this one
new_orderType PURCHASEORDERS.ORDERTYPE%TYPE;
c_orderSameDay INVENTORYREPORT.ORDERSAMEDAY%TYPE;
c_orderNextDay INVENTORYREPORT.ORDERNEXTDAY%TYPE;
-- you mixed up your cursors. seems like you didn't try the select-statement alone..
CURSOR C2
IS
SELECT ir.itemId, ir.ORDERSAMEDAY, ir.ORDERNEXTDAY
FROM INVENTORYREPORT
WHERE ir.REPORTDATE = inputDate;
BEGIN
OPEN C2;
WHILE C2%FOUND
LOOP
FETCH C2 INTO new_orderType, c_orderSameDay, c_orderNextDay;
NULL; -- Do something
END LOOP;
CLOSE C2;
END;
/
Think about what you want to do in the loop. Build a small skript with the variables and think about what it should do:
Example-Skript of you Loop-content:
DECLARE
-- new_inputDate PURCHASEORDERS.PODate%TYPE; --you don't use this one
new_orderType NUMBER := 0;
c_orderSameDay NUMBER := 1;
c_orderNextDay NUMBER := 2;
BEGIN
-- this is what you're doing in you loop.
IF c_orderSameDay > 0 -- check if c_orderSameDay is greater than 0? In Oracle you use 'NULL' as empty value. Perhaps it should be 'c_orderSameDay IS NOT NULL'
THEN
INSERT INTO PURCHASEORDERS (new_orderType) -- you perform your insert.
VALUES (orderSameDay);
ELSE
RAISE; -- you raise an exception? this means c_orderSameDay has alsway to be set.
END IF;
IF c_orderNextDay > 0
THEN
INSERT INTO PURCHASEORDERS (new_orderType)
VALUES (orderNextDay);
ELSE
RAISE; -- you raise an exception? this means c_orderNextDay has alsway to be set.
END IF;
END;

Self reference update on insert trigger in Informix

I'm extracting data from various sources into one table. In this new table, there's a field called lineno. This field value is should be in sequence based on company code and batch number. I've wrote the following procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE update_line(company CHAR(4), batch CHAR(8), rcptid CHAR(12));
DEFINE lineno INT;
SELECT Count(*)
INTO lineno
FROM tmp_cb_rcpthdr
WHERE cbrh_company = company
AND cbrh_batchid = batch;
UPDATE tmp_cb_rcpthdr
SET cbrh_lineno = lineno + 1
WHERE cbrh_company = company
AND cbrh_batchid = batch
AND cbrh_rcptid = rcptid;
END PROCEDURE;
This procedure will be called using the following trigger
CREATE TRIGGER tmp_cb_rcpthdr_ins INSERT ON tmp_cb_rcpthdr
REFERENCING NEW AS n
FOR EACH ROW
(
EXECUTE PROCEDURE update_line(n.company, cbrh_batchid, cbrh_rcptid)
);
However, I got the following error
SQL Error = -747 Table or column matches object referenced in
triggering statement.
From oninit.com, I learn that the error caused by a triggered SQL statement acts on the triggering table which in this case is the UPDATE statement.
So my question is, how do I solve this problem? Is there any work around or better solution?
I think the design needs to be reconsidered. For a start, what happens if some rows get deleted from tmp_cb_rcpthdr ? The COUNT(*) query will result in duplicate lineno values.
Even if this is an ETL only process, and you can be confident the data won't be manipulated from elsewhere, performance will be an issue, and will only get worse the more data you have for any one combination of company and batch_id.
Is it necessary for the lineno to increment from zero, or is it just to maintain the original load order? Because if it's the latter, a SEQUENCE or a SERIAL field on the table will achieve the same end, and be a lot more efficient.
If you must generate lineno in this way, I would suggest you create a second control table, keyed on company and batch_id, that tracks the current lineno value, ie: (untested)
CREATE PROCEDURE update_line(company CHAR(4), batch CHAR(8));
DEFINE lineno INT;
SELECT cbrh_lineno INTO lineno
FROM linenoctl
WHERE cbrh_company = company
AND cbrh_batchid = batch;
UPDATE linenoctl
SET cbrh_lineno = lineno + 1
WHERE cbrh_company = company
AND cbrh_batchid = batch;
-- A test that no other process has grabbed this record
-- might need to be considered here, ie cbrh_lineno = lineno
RETURN lineno + 1
END PROCEDURE;
Then use it as follows:
CREATE TRIGGER tmp_cb_rcpthdr_ins INSERT ON tmp_cb_rcpthdr
REFERENCING NEW AS n
FOR EACH ROW
(
EXECUTE PROCEDURE update_line(n.company, cbrh_batchid) INTO cbrh_lineno
);
See the IDS documentation for more on using calculated values with triggers.
