Global Temporary tables are session dependant tables which
could be used as temporary storage for calculations, sorting
etc. What I mean by Session dependant is, the data being
stored in the Global Temporary table is not written into the
database or stored anywhere. Once the session ends (in which
the Global Temporary table is used), the data also vanishes.



However the structure would still be available even after
the Session is logged out. Also, the structure is available
to other sessions even when one session is using it, but not
the data. i.e multiple sessions could use the same Global
Temporary table without interfering the data. Each session
could insert/update/delete their own data into the same
Global Temporary table as if the table is available to only
that session. Any data inserted in one session is not
available to another.



Now, why do we need Global Temporary tables? Well, imagine a
requirement where you need to fetch some data from the
database, do some kind of calculations, aggregations and
provide the Result Set (many records) to a Front End. Again,
in the Front End, you need to fetch the Result set may
times, for some purpose. Then you could make use of the
Global Temporary table. Until the user gets disconnected
from that Database session, the data is available for him in
the memory.

Global temporary tables belongs to that session only

create global temporary table test_gbl
( l_number_no number,
l_char_vc varchar2(100)
) [on commit delete rows]

ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS:- It's a default one
If any commit will issued that total data of a table will
losses. But table is exit

To overcome this we have option
ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS:-
means, If commit will issue the data of a table willn't loss
up to end of the session. Is session ends the data will losses.

Hi Guys, I have a situation where I need to access the column values from rowtype variable. However, the column names are dynamic. below is sample code: declare Cursor c1 is select * from emp; Cursor c2 is select column_name from xyztable; v_c2 c2%rowtype; v_str varchar2 v_value varchar2(200); begin for rec in c1 loop open c2;---this cursor has column names like EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME etc. loop fetch c2 into v_c2; exit when c2%notfound; /* now lets say i want to access value of LAST_NAME from cursor c1, so I am writing below code, however it does not work as expected */ v_str:= 'rec.'|| v_c2.column_name; -- this will give me string like "rec.EMPLOYEE_ID" v_value:=v_str; end loop; end loop; end; / Plz help ASAP.Thanks.
