I have been tasked to populate a table called Sales_Facts with a PL/SQL block but I return 0 results. The procedure is executed with out error and I run my script to populate my table but my SELECT COUNT script returns nothing. I cannot see what I am doing wrong.
Here's what I have:
CREATE TABLE Sales (
sale_ID VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
salesperson_ID VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
cust_ID VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
sale_date DATE,
VIN VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
mileage INT,
vehicle_status VARCHAR2(15),
gross_sale_price NUMBER(8,2) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (sale_ID),
CONSTRAINT FK_Customer_ID FOREIGN KEY (cust_ID) REFERENCES Customers(cust_ID),
CONSTRAINT FK_VIN_ID FOREIGN KEY (VIN) REFERENCES Sale_Vehicles(VIN));
CREATE TABLE Times (
sale_day DATE NOT NULL, --populated from Sales sale_date
day_type VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (sale_day));
CREATE TABLE Vehicles (
vehicle_Code VARCHAR2(10),
description VARCHAR2(100),
PRIMARY KEY (vehicle_Code));
Vehicles is populated with this:
CREATE SEQUENCE veh_code_seq
MINVALUE 1
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
CACHE 20;
COMMIT;
--PL/SQL Block
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
vehType VARCHAR2(50);
v_make OLTP_Vehicles.make%type;
v_model OLTP_Vehicles.model%type;
CURSOR v_type IS SELECT DISTINCT make, model FROM OLTP_Vehicles;
BEGIN
OPEN v_type;
LOOP
FETCH v_type INTO v_make, v_model;
vehType := v_make || ', ' || v_model;
INSERT INTO Vehicles (vehicle_Code, description)
VALUES (veh_code_seq.NEXTVAL, vehType);
EXIT WHEN v_type%notfound;
END LOOP;
CLOSE v_type;
END;

CREATE TABLE Financing_Plans (
plan_ID VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,

CREATE TABLE Sales_Facts (

CONSTRAINT FK_Fin_Plan_ID FOREIGN KEY(plan_ID) References Financing_Plans(plan_ID),
CONSTRAINT FK_Dealer_ID FOREIGN KEY(dealer_ID) References Dealerships(dealer_ID));
And here is my procedure that is not returning any results:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Populate_Sales_Facts
AS
l_sale_day DATE;
l_vehicle_Code VARCHAR2(10);
l_plan_ID VARCHAR2(10);
l_dealer_ID VARCHAR2(5);
l_vehicles_sold NUMBER(8,2);
l_gross_sales_amt NUMBER(8,2);
CURSOR c1 IS SELECT sale_day,vehicle_Code,fp.plan_ID,d.dealer_ID,
COUNT (*) AS vehicles_sold,
SUM (s.gross_sale_price) AS gross_sales_amt
FROM Times t, Sales s, Financing_Plans fp, Dealerships d, Vehicles v
WHERE t.sale_day = s.sale_date
GROUP BY sale_day, vehicle_Code, fp.plan_ID, d.dealer_ID;
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
LOOP
FETCH c1 INTO l_sale_day, l_vehicle_Code, l_plan_ID, l_dealer_ID, l_vehicles_sold, l_gross_sales_amt;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
IF l_vehicles_sold <> 0 THEN
INSERT INTO SALES_FACTS (sale_day,vehicle_Code,plan_ID,dealer_ID,vehicles_sold, gross_sales_amt)
VALUES (l_sale_day,l_vehicle_Code,l_plan_ID,l_dealer_ID,l_vehicles_sold,l_gross_sales_amt);
END IF;
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
END;
/
BEGIN
Populate_Sales_Facts;
END;
/
I was given the fields to populate the Sales table and they cannot be changed per my requirements but I did fix my WHERE statement to pull sale_day from the Times table where equal to the sale_date in the Sales table because those are the only fields that linked. So I was able to get the table to populate but now instead of getting no more than 200 rows, I am getting 61065 rows of data. Here are my requirements: get every possible combination of the dimension tables’ primary keys and then the total vehicles sold and gross sales amount for each combination. If these values for Total_Vehicles_Sold and Gross_Sales_Amount for a combination are zero then don’t INSERT a row into the SALES_FACT table. Only insert rows for combinations of the four foreign key columns where there were some vehicles sold. Maybe I am just misunderstanding the task but I feel like I am getting too many rows now.
