Hmmmm. It seems that I don't get replies to a lot of my posts. Do I ask
the hard questions or just stupid ones? On sencond thought, don't answer
that... ;)
In any case, in reinventing the wheel, I decided to just create a function
that uses a REF CURSOR to generically concat the column for me:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION newwheel (p_tabname IN VARCHAR2, p_colname IN
VARCHAR2, p_whereclause IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
TYPE rc_type IS REF CURSOR;
rc rc_type;
v_col VARCHAR2(2000);
v_result VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
OPEN rc FOR
'SELECT '||p_colname||' FROM '||p_tabname||'
'||p_whereclause;
LOOP
FETCH rc INTO v_col;
EXIT WHEN rc%NOTFOUND;
v_result := v_result||v_col;
END LOOP;
CLOSE rc;
RETURN(v_result);
END newwheel;
Then I can:
SELECT newwheel('PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT','sql_text','WHERE HASH_VALUE =
1232131312')
FROM dual;
Hope this can help someone else!

Hey all,
In 8.1.7.4, does anyone have a SQL that will take the output from the
following:
SELECT sql_text
FROM PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT SS
WHERE SS.HASH_VALUE = :myhash
ORDER BY PIECE
...and append/concat all the rows into a single column.
I *know* someone's done this before and I don't want to re-invent the wheel
unless I have to.
TIA!
