TABLE() casting in oracle - Useful to generate values in a flash

--create a type with number datatype
SQL> create or replace type type1
2 is table of number;
3 /

Type created.


--Create function for generating numbers and assign them in the type TYPE1
--Return the list
SQL> create or replace function function1(n IN number)
2 return type1
3 as
4 list_1 type1:= type1(0);
5 i number;
6 begin
7 for i in 1..n
8 loop
9 list_1(i):=i;
10 list_1.extend;
11 end loop;
12
13 return list_1;
14 end;
15 /

Function created.


--Now table() casting would help us list the values in table-like format
SQL> Select * from table(function1(10))
2 where column_value is not null;

SQL - Binary Search Tree

Problem Statement You are given a table,   BST , containing two columns:   N  and   P,  where   N   represents the value of a node in   BST , and   P   is the parent of   N . Write a query to find the node type of   BST   ordered by the value of the node. Output one of the following for each node: ·          Root : If node is root node. ·          Leaf : If node is leaf node. ·          Inner : If node is neither root nor leaf node. Sample Input                 N          P 1 2 3 2 6 8 9 8 2 5 8 5 5         null Sample Output 1 Leaf 2 Inner 3 Leaf 5 Root 6 Leaf 8 Inner 9 Leaf Explanation The   BST ...
