Sql – Finding missing sequence in a table

oracleoracle10gplsqlsql

I'm using the Oracle 10g Database. i'm trying to figure out how to write a simple sql query to:

find the missing numbers in a table between say 86002895 and 86005197 (inclusive), There are 1955 rows between 86002895 and 86005197.

Ex: Current Scenario : table_1 :

tracking_no | id_value
86002895 | 10
86002896 | 10
86002899 | 10
86002900 | 10
86002910 | 10
86005196 | 10
86005197 | 10

Expected Result1:

" missing tracking_id " where id_value
= 10 from table_1 ;

86002897

86002898
86002900
to

86002910

86002910
to

86005196

Thanks in advance

with data as 
(
  select tracking_no from table_1 where id_value = 10
),  
data_n as 
(
  select level + (select min(tracking_no) from data) n 
  from dual 
  connect by level <= (select max(tracking_no) - min(tracking_no) from data) 
)
select * from data_n
where not exists (select 1 from data where tracking_no = n);

If you want to include 86002895 and 86005197 do:

with data as 
(
  select tracking_no from table_1 
  where id_value = 10
  and   tracking_no between 86002895 and 86005197
),  
data_n as 
(
  select level + (select min(tracking_no) from data) n 
  from dual 
  connect by level <= (select max(tracking_no) - min(tracking_no) from data) 
)
select * from data_n
where not exists (select 1 from data where tracking_no = n);

Syntax:

ALTER TABLE {TABLENAME} 
ADD {COLUMNNAME} {TYPE} {NULL|NOT NULL} 
CONSTRAINT {CONSTRAINT_NAME} DEFAULT {DEFAULT_VALUE}
WITH VALUES

Example:

ALTER TABLE SomeTable
        ADD SomeCol Bit NULL --Or NOT NULL.
 CONSTRAINT D_SomeTable_SomeCol --When Omitted a Default-Constraint Name is autogenerated.
    DEFAULT (0)--Optional Default-Constraint.
WITH VALUES --Add if Column is Nullable and you want the Default Value for Existing Records.

Notes:

Optional Constraint Name:
If you leave out CONSTRAINT D_SomeTable_SomeCol then SQL Server will autogenerate
a Default-Contraint with a funny Name like: DF__SomeTa__SomeC__4FB7FEF6

Optional With-Values Statement:
The WITH VALUES is only needed when your Column is Nullable
and you want the Default Value used for Existing Records.
If your Column is NOT NULL, then it will automatically use the Default Value
for all Existing Records, whether you specify WITH VALUES or not.

How Inserts work with a Default-Constraint:
If you insert a Record into SomeTable and do not Specify SomeCol's value, then it will Default to 0.
If you insert a Record and Specify SomeCol's value as NULL (and your column allows nulls),
then the Default-Constraint will not be used and NULL will be inserted as the Value.

Notes were based on everyone's great feedback below.

Sql – Insert results of a stored procedure into a temporary table

You can use OPENROWSET for this. Have a look. I've also included the sp_configure code to enable Ad Hoc Distributed Queries, in case it isn't already enabled.

CREATE PROC getBusinessLineHistory
AS
BEGIN
    SELECT * FROM sys.databases
END
GO

sp_configure 'Show Advanced Options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO

SELECT * INTO #MyTempTable FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=(local)\SQL2008;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
     'EXEC getBusinessLineHistory')

SELECT * FROM #MyTempTable
