Create an insert with dynamic number or columns in Oracle - json

Based on a given JSON, I need to create an insert statement in a stored procedure. For example I have this JSON:
{
"tableName": "test_table",
"columName":["col_1","col_2","col3"],
"columnValue":["test1","test2","test3"]
}
The "columName" is an array with dynamic number of values and the "columnValue" is an array with the values for each position of the "columnName" array.
What I need to do is to create an insert statement dynamically. For example, for the given JSON, the insert statement looks like this:
INSERT INTO test_table("col_1", "col_2", "col_3") VALUES("test1", "test2", "test3")
The test_table table has 27 columns. In JSON I receive data for one, two, three or all columns. How can I build the select statement based on dynamic number of columns.
I am using APEX_JSON.
Thank you!

Oracle utl_file throwing error when the input buffer size exceeds more than 1000 character

I'm tyring to write files for every cursor execution as shown in below sql. The data_payload column will have more than 1000 characters.
There is an exception at utl_file.put line.
If I use SUBRTR of 1000 characters, then the file writes successfully.
Is there any other alternate function to handle this?

Assuming that temp_tbl.data_payload is a CLOB data type then you want to loop through the payload reading substring chunks (without needing to store the substrings in a temporary variable).
If you want to write more than 1024 characters at one time then you need to specify the 4th argument to UTL_FILE.FOPEN(location, filename, openmode, max_linesize) as the default is 1024.
Something like this (untested as I don't have your tables or a directory to write to):
DECLARE
l_index PLS_INTEGER := 0;
CURSOR payload_cur IS
SELECT data_payload,
request_reference
FROM temp_tbl
WHERE message_type = 'ORDERCREATE'

BEGIN

Populate ComboBox with Title Case Query Result

with TdmBCElections.Create(Self) do
begin
with dmBCElections, qryParties do
begin
SQL.Clear;
if rgpParty.ItemIndex = 0 then
SQL.Text := 'SELECT StrConv(P_Surname, 3), StrConv(P_Names, 3) ' +
'FROM Parties WHERE P_Type = "HEAD"'
else
SQL.Text := 'SELECT StrConv(P_Surname, 3), StrConv(P_Names, 3) ' +
'FROM Parties WHERE P_Type = "TEACHER"';
Open;
while not Eof do
begin
cmbDetails.Items.Add(qryParties['StrConv(P_Surname, 3)'] + ', ' +
qryParties['StrConv(P_Names, 3)']);
Next;
end;
end;
end;
The code above gives me the following error message:
How do I call the table fields when StrConv is applied to them?
You can assign an alias to the fields:
with TdmBCElections.Create(Self) do
begin
with dmBCElections, qryParties do
begin
if rgpParty.ItemIndex = 0 then
SQL.Text := 'SELECT StrConv(P_Surname, 3) as ConvertedSurname, StrConv(P_Names, 3) as ConvertedNames ' +
'FROM Parties WHERE P_Type = "HEAD"'
else
SQL.Text := 'SELECT StrConv(P_Surname, 3) as ConvertedSurname, StrConv(P_Names, 3) as ConvertedNames ' +
'FROM Parties WHERE P_Type = "TEACHER"';
Open;
while not Eof do
begin
cmbDetails.Items.Add(qryParties['ConvertedSurname'] + ', ' +
qryParties['ConvertedNames']);
Next;
end;
end;
end;
Otherwise, you can use field indexes instead of names:
with TdmBCElections.Create(Self) do
begin
with dmBCElections, qryParties do
begin
if rgpParty.ItemIndex = 0 then
SQL.Text := 'SELECT StrConv(P_Surname, 3), StrConv(P_Names, 3) ' +
'FROM Parties WHERE P_Type = "HEAD"'
else
SQL.Text := 'SELECT StrConv(P_Surname, 3), StrConv(P_Names, 3) ' +
'FROM Parties WHERE P_Type = "TEACHER"';
Open;
while not Eof do
begin
cmbDetails.Items.Add(qryParties.Fields[0].AsString + ', ' + qryParties.Fields[1].AsString);
Next;
end;
end;
end;
Either way, I suggest you consider using a parameterized query instead:
SQL.Text := 'SELECT ... FROM Parties WHERE P_Type = :PType';
if rgpParty.ItemIndex = 0 then
Parameters.ParamByName('PType').Value := 'HEAD'
else
Parameters.ParamByName('PType').Value := 'TEACHER';

Decode base64 image into BLOB with PL/SQL

I'm using the script below in order to fetch JSON file from MongoDB, parse it and then insert it into Oracle table.
The script works fine in a sense that it inserts all values correctly into Oracle table. That includes the value Photo which is an image of base64 formate and it is much larger than 32KB.
The column Photo in the table Appery_Photos is of the type CLOB while column DecodedPhoto is of the type BLOB.
The problem lies in the line blobOriginal := base64decode1(Photo); which I used to decode the CLOB into BLOB. The function base64decode1 has been replaced with several functions (i.e. decode_base64 , base64DecodeClobAsBlob_plsql, base64decode , from_base64 & finally JSON_EXT.DECODE).
The result was the same for all of them. That is, the resultant BLOB object cannot be openned as an image in any of images editors (I'm using Oracle SQL Developer to download it).
I checked CLOB, and I could not find any newlines \n, nor could I find any spaces (only + signs found). Furthermore, I inserted CLOB value into the base64-image-converter and it displays the image correctly. In addition, I tried to encode the resultant BLOB in base64 back in order to further validate (using the opposite functions provided in the links above), the resultant base64 is not the same at all.

Any help is deeply appreciated.
I found that is not in the function I used in the base64 decoding. Instead, the value I have is not base64 encoded strings, but base64 encode dataURi's, something like
data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAA
So I have to use something like: clobbase642blob( substr( Photo, instr( Photo, ',' ) + 1 ) )

Delphi, Export HTML table to Excel

All I want to do is to implement "Export to excel" option of a classical webbrowser, to Delphi2007 commands...... When I am using this option from a webbrowser to export a 12000 rows table it takes less than a minute to export the table from any web browser from windows. Trying to implement this in Delphi using 2D Array it takes 10 minutes... Trying to implement the export with parsing technique (Stringlists, strings, Pos(tr), pos (td) & some other string functions) it takes a long... Hence, which are the commands of a webbrowser to export an html table to excel that I have to convert them to Delphi? Should I use javascript inside Delphi? Should I use pointers? Should I use HTML entities? xml?...Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
