Question

I am encountering this errir when attempting to do a merge:

PHP Warning:  oci_execute(): ORA-01008: not all variables bound

I’ve made sure that all values that I have in the query are bound using the oci_bind_by_name() function, and that the data is valid.

Here is my code:

//Sample values just to test
$col1val = 'test1';
$col2val = 'test2';
$col3val = 'test3';
$col4val = 'test4';

        $sql = "merge into tablespace.tb1 c using (select :col1val from dual) cd
                on (c.col1 = cd.col1)
                when not matched then
                    insert (c.col2, c.col1, c.col3, c.col4) 
                    values (:col2val, :col1val, :col3val, :col4val)";



        oci_bind_by_name($stid, ":col1val", $col1val);
        oci_bind_by_name($stid, ":col2val", $col2val);  
        oci_bind_by_name($stid, ":col3val", $col3val);          
        oci_bind_by_name($stid, ":col4val", $col4val);

        $stid = oci_parse($conn, $sql);
        $result = oci_execute($stid);
                    oci_free_statement($stid);

I am using PHP 5 and Oracle 10g.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The problem was that oci_bind_by_name() was being called before oci_parse(). oci_parse() needs to be called first.
