How can I add rows iteratively to a select result set in pl sql?

Question

In the work_order table there is wo_no. When I query the work_order table I want 2 additional columns (Task_no, Task_step_no) in the results set as follows

this should be iterate for all the wo_no s in the work_order table. task_no should go up to 5 and task_step_no should go upto 2000. (please have a look on the attached image to see the results set if not clear)

Any idea how to get such a results set in plsql?

Answer 1

One option is to use 2 row generators cross joined to your current table.

SQL> with
  2  work_order (wo_no) as
  3    (select 1 from dual union all
  4     select 2 from dual
  5    ),
  6  task (task_no) as
  7    (select level from dual connect by level <= 5),
  8  step (task_step_no) as
  9    (select level from dual connect by level <= 20)    --> you'd have 2000 here
 10  select y.wo_no, t.task_no, s.task_step_no
 11  from work_order y cross join task t cross join step s
 12  order by 1, 2, 3;

Result:

     WO_NO    TASK_NO TASK_STEP_NO

200 rows selected.

As you already have the work_order table, you'd just use it in FROM clause (not as a CTE):

with
task (task_no) as
  (select level from dual connect by level <= 5),
step (task_step_no) as
  (select level from dual connect by level <= 20)
select y.wo_no, t.task_no, s.task_step_no
from work_order y cross join task t cross join step s
order by 1, 2, 3;
