Hi

You can use native dynamic PLSQL (8.1 or higher) to do this

stmt varchar2(2000);

stmt := 'INSERT INTO mm_product_temp (rec, rec_old, name, is_disabled, is_workingcopy)
(SELECT mm_product_seq.nextval, rec, name, is_disabled, is_workingcopy
FROM mm_product@'||v_dblink||' WHERE last_update IS null);'

execute immediate stmt;

Hi,

I'm trying to incorporate a procedure in a package that needs to run using a dblink name supplied at runtime. The dblink is used in the dml inside the procedure, but when I compile the package I get "ORA-00942 table or view does not exist" for all the sql referencing the dblink.

Here is a code snippet:

PROCEDURE CREATE_WC_OVER_DBLINK (     
	DBLINK VARCHAR2)

v_dblink VARCHAR2(100) := dblink;       

BEGIN INSERT INTO mm_product_temp (rec, rec_old, name, is_disabled, is_workingcopy)
(SELECT mm_product_seq.nextval, rec, name, is_disabled, is_workingcopy
FROM mm_product_at_v_dblink
WHERE last_update IS null);

.....

END;
/

The ORA-00942 shows up for the line with the INSERT statement.

Looking for ideas as to how to do this. I saw a MetaLink forum posting indicating that the way to do this is to create a refcursor, then use a function to return the supplied sql to the refcursor, then open the refcursor, etc. etc.

Is this the only way to do it?

thanks

bill
