The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Key,Value pair in PL/SQL

Asked by naga1979 in Oracle Database

Tags: key, value

Dear Experts,

Facing a small hick up while building a PL/SQL procedure. I want to know is there a way to have key,value pair type in PL/SQL. I remember using key,value pair type of arrays in VB which is very handy. I got to use such type in PL/SQL which is of 2 dimensional. I want to populate this type with the values from database and use them later in the same procedure.

Exatct scenario is as below:

A query will return values set as below,

COL1    COL2
-------------
KEY1    VAL1
KEY2    VAL2
KEY3    VAL3

I want to populate these in a key,value pair type so that i should be able to retrieve COL2 value by passing COL2 key during further processing in my procedure of huge data count. This is to avoid unnecessary database transaction.

Please help me in achieving this or let me know if there is a other better approach.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
