hi..
I am having a problem as below while coding in PRO*C

int vcount;
.....
....
EXEC SQL select count(*) into :vcount from tab ;
output comes vcount=250

now if i change the table name as dynamic.
int vcount;
char qrystmt[500];
char vtname[30];
...
...
qrystmt[0] = '\0';
vtname[0] = '\0';
strcpy(vtname,"tab");
sprintf(qrystmt,"select count(*) into :vcount from %s ",vtname);
EXEC SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :qrystmt;
output comes vcount=0;

does anyone have idea why this is returning 0(zero)

Hi,
I do not recall but does strcpy add the null character in C?


Best Regards,

It copies until and including '\0' character.

Btw, vtname[30] should be of char[31] (30 characters plus '\0').
I prefer to use VARCHAR Oracle datatype.

Are you sure you can use "EXEC SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE" for a SELECT?

Regards
Michel

Hi,
OK. That is good. Me too, by the way and for what it is worth, prefer the VARCHAR2 type.


Best Regards,
Lars
