Question

I am a beginner in Oracle. I created the table type as like as follows:

TYPE metertable IS TABLE OF pseb.metermaster.meterid%type;

I dnt know how to insert the value into that table type. I need to store the whole resultset of the following query into the table type.

select  distinct(meterid) 
from pseb.consumerfeedermetermapper 
where feederid in (select distinct (fm.FeederID) 
                   from pseb.feedermaster fm,pseb.consumerfeedermetermapper cfm
                   where fm.substationid=v_v_type
                   and cfm.feederid=fm.feederid
                   and cfm.FeederID>0)
 and meterid >0
 order by meterid;

Help me to do that.

Answer 1

Use BULK COLLECT to select the data into a variable of that type:

declare
  mt metertable;
begin
  select  distinct(meterid) 
  bulk collect into mt
  from pseb.consumerfeedermetermapper 
  where feederid in (select distinct (fm.FeederID) 
                     from pseb.feedermaster fm,pseb.consumerfeedermetermapper cfm
                     where fm.substationid=v_v_type
                     and cfm.feederid=fm.feederid
                     and cfm.FeederID>0)
  and meterid >0
  order by meterid;

  -- Now use mt...
end;
