Database package (stored procedure) seems to be hanging

Hi,
Our application seems to be hanging after executing a database package repeatedly. It happens after 5-10 invocations of the same package in a loop. Any ideas why this happens?
Thanks in advance,

Narayana,
Your really going to have to give more detail than "it hangs and we don't know why". I always use a program called TOP SESSIONS in OEM to monitor a running process. It's a good place to start. If you don't have that query v$session and find the session that is running that package. Normally good coders have trace tables they write debug into (with a debug flag on every proc), so that when you run a procedure/function/package it begins recording that it's doing so you can monitor it's process. It sound like you don't have any kind of tracing going on so you have no idea what's happening. Even use DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to show where it is at in the code.
Also in regards to that top sessions program (OEM 1.6), there is one called lock manager. The newer OEM might have this I don't know, I don't use it. But the initial process your running might be opening locks and keeping them open, thus other packages fire and are still waiting for the first one to let go. Are you killing the first session BEFORE firing off the next?
Try and get some monitoring tools, many are free to download like Oracle's OEM, so you can monitor what's going on. However but you really need to record some kind of trace in your code so when it runs you can see what step it is at when it does hang. Also check for TRACE files that progress might be making and the alert log as well (both on the server's operating system).
Hope this helps a little.

Pass BLOB as parameter to Packaged Stored Procedure

Does JDBC (thin or otherwise) support passing a BLOB as a parameter to a packaged stored procedure in Oracle, or do we have to do an 'insert' statement to get it in?
All the articles I've seen seem to refer to insert and select, but I want to strictly enforce all access to the database being through a package rather than table level access.
We've certainly had no difficulty receiving blobs from the resultset returned by our packaged procedures.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks
Jason.

Can someone please demonstrate exactly how to use formula results as date parameters to a SQL stored procedure? Keep in mind, there are two parameters to the stored procedure.
I have gleaned this much: Use Add Command and insert the procedure with
EXEC ServerName.dbo.usp_sprocName;1 '{?StringParameter}'
but if I try to do
{CALL ServerName.dbo.usp_SprocName({@Formula1},{@Formula2})}
then it gives the error "No value given for one or more required parameters".
Both of the parameters are VARCHAR(50).
I have finally found this link: [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx]
This Microsoft site defines the format of the ODBC escape sequences, but I still do not know how to convince Crystal to insert it's parameter results or formula results.

Strange download size of on calling packaged stored procedure in VB6

Hi,
I tried to use VB6 to call oracle stored procedure with ref cursor as output parameter under a package in 10g database (10.1.03). Oracle client uses windows 9.2 / 10.1.02 (Oracle OLEDB Provider) . I found that when the package size increases(> 1000 lines codes), the data size transfer from database to VB client also increases. I try to trap the binary data flow between VB6 and database when calling packaged stored procedure. I found that VB6(or oracle client ??) will first download package spec then execute the requested stored procedure. This may explain the cause of increasing size.
However, this large download size for calling only one of the procedure will make my application run slowly when my application uses the package much. How can I solve this problem ? Does this relate to oracle client(p.s. this problem disappear when using Microsoft OLEDB Provider)?
Thanks
Steven

You can use a wrapper to get compiled code and if it's 10g you can do even more by putting it in a library.
OLEDB from VB6 still using Oracle 'Client' as you call Oracle NET.

Sending Long Raw Data to Oracle database through Stored Procedure

Hi,
I am trying to push data to Oracle 9i database through Stored Procedure via thin driver. It is going smoothly upto 29411 bytes. But it is not accepting for 53843 bytes and giving following error :
java.sql.SQLException: Data size bigger than max size for this type: 53843
Is it thin driver limitation? Can I solve it by using OCI driver? Or is there any other approach?
I tried creating connection pool in weblogic 7.0 through OCI driver. But I am not able to configure it. Is there any special way of configuration.
Quick response will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sanjiv

It happens to me. But I am using CMP of Weblogic 7. If you write your own jdbc code, the following link may be helpful.

Hi,
I think you can use DBMS_DATAPUMP (10.1+), see [DBMS_DATAPUMP|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_datpmp.htm#i1007277], for examples see [http://www.psoug.org/reference/dbms_datapump.html]

Calling packaged stored procedure from Java

Hi All,
I'm trying to call a stored procedure from Java but I'm having
problems with registrating the output parameter. I'm getting
the error: Conflicting parameters.: sqltype=2003
This is the stored procedure which is located in a package in
the Oracle database:
package Pack_GetAgencyInformation as
Type InfoType is record ( agen_code varchar(3), agen_designation
varchar(30), agen_adresse varchar(60), agen_tel varchar(12) );
function GetAgencyInformation( P_AGENCE VARCHAR )
return Pack_GetAgencyInformation.InfoType
end Pack_GetAgencyInformation;
This is the Java source from where I'm calling the procedure:
//DriverManager.registerDriver (new
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
     Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:thin:@164.48.69.125:1521:ventes", "system", "*****
// @machineName:port:SID,
userid, password
CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall("{ ? = call
Pack_GetAgencyInformation.GetAgencyInformation( ? )}");
     try {
          cs.registerOutParameter( 1,
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleTypes.ARRAY);
     } catch (SQLException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
     cs.setString(2, "001" );
     //ResultSet rset = cs.executeQuery();
The stacktrace:
java.sql.SQLException: Parametertypen conflicteren.:
sqlType=2003
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException
(DBError.java:168)
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException

at

I think it has to do with the type InfoType which is created in
the Stored Procedure. I'm absolute no Oracle expert and I
prefer not to make changes to the Oracle database. So any
solution in Java is welcome!
BR, H.Rietman

I managed to get it to work only by changing the stored
procedure. I have changed the return type record to a Ref
Cursor type (had to change alot of code for this). It seams
that Oracle JDBC drivers DON'T support the Record type as a
return type.
So the next question is: is it possible to typecast a record
type to a ref cursor type in Oracle. In this way I can easily
change the return type for the stored procedures.

Is BC4J a viabl option for database with stored procedure (ref cursor) API?

I'm about to begin a Web application development project. As foundation, we have a (Oracle) database of certain complexity that have a data access API developed with PL/SQL packages.
This API is designed to get data through stored procedures/functions that return REF CURSOR.
Personally I have been investigating about Oracle ADF/JSF, and a number of others J2EE technologies, and at this moment I am doubting if ADF BC are a viable option to my development team.
I think this because I have noticed that one of the great drawback in ADF BC is the lack of simplicity to get data through stored procedures/functions that returns REF CURSORS.
I have been looking for documentation and the only thing that I have found are two examples:
1.- One that really do not work (fails in get data from ref cursor): ADF BC StoredProcedure Sample application.
2.- And other published by Steve Muench in
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2003/03/03/gettingAViewObjectsResultRowsFromARefCursor.html. This sample works fine.
But, the problem with the approach of this last article is the amount (and complexity) of the code necessary to make so basic and recurrent operation as is "obtain data through a stored procedure (ref cursor)".
Below it is the code that I have constructed to call a function that returns a ref cursor (based on steve's article).
If this is the only way to make this (historically so basic and simple) task, then it is obvious that BC is not a viable technology to my (or I am in a mistake?), since we have about 50 stored procedures/functions to access the underlying data; that stored procedures/functions are key to development of the new application (and, still more, currently are used to anothers apps ).
By all this, I would like consult to Oracle's people:
1.- I really must reject BC as technology to implement this project ?
2.- It is possible to access stored procedures in a simpler way using BC?
3.- If the answer to 2 is NOT: in near future, the BC team has plans to give more support to the simple access to stored procedures?
4.- If the answer to 3 is NOT: what another technology you recommend to construct my data access/business tier and still be able to using the others characteristics of ADF?
Thank you very much for your guidelines.
Regards, RL.

I have read so much on the net and my code seem ok but i,m just so lost.
stored procedure

@ID INT,
@Firstname VARCHAR(30),
@Surname VARCHAR(30),
@Age INT
AS

command.ExecuteNonQuery();
lblMessage.Text = "Your Record(s) Have been Updated";
command.Connection.Close();
catch
lblMessage.Text = "Your Record was not updated please try again";
Thank you for your help

To expand on Mike's advice.
Change your catch to:
catch(Exception ex)
{ // Break point here
lblMessage.Text = "Your Record was not updated please try again";
Put a break point in where the comment says.
Run it.
Hover over ex or add a quickwatch ( right click it ) and see what the error and inner exception is.
I see several problems though.
You have way too many parameters and Age should be int.
They are objects - they have a type.
It'll be a string with your code there.
Something more like
command.Parameters.Add("@Age", SqlDbType.Int);
command.Parameters["@Age"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(txtAge.Text);
Although that might not cut and paste, it's air code intended to give you the idea.
Hope that helps.

How to find Packaged Stored Procedure?

Hi,
Is there any API routine to find out if a particular StoredProcedure belongs to a package or not?? Or in the other way around , can i get to know about a list of Stored procedures a particular database package has?
( P.S :- getProcedures method in DatabaseMetadata gives just a list of all Standalone and Packaged procedures as one list. )

How can I transfer a XML file content to a MS SQL database by stored procedure using LabWindows/CVI SQL Toolkit?

Hi,
I have a problem to transfer a XML file content to a MS SQL database by a given/fixed stored procedure. I'm able to transfer the content of the file by using following method ...
hstmt = DBPrepareSQL (hdbc, EXEC usp_InsertReport '<Report> ..... </Report>');
resCode = DBExecutePreparedSQL (hstmt);
resCode = DBClosePreparedSQL (hstmt);
... but in this case I'm not able to fetch the return value of the stored procedure!
I have tried to follow the example of the stored procedure in the help documentation (DBPrepareSQL) but I miss a datatype for xml?!?
Any idea how to solve my problem?
KR Cake
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After some additional trials I found a solution by calling the stored procedure in this way
DBSetAttributeDefault (hdbc, ATTR_DB_COMMAND_TYPE, DB_COMMAND_STORED_PROC);
DBPrepareSQL (hdbc, "usp_InsertReport");
DBCreateParamInt (hstmt, "", DB_PARAM_RETURN_VALUE, -1);
DBCreateParamChar (hstmt, "XMLCONTENT", DB_PARAM_INPUT, sz_Buffer, (int) strlen(sz_Buffer) + 1 );
DBExecutePreparedSQL (hstmt);
DBClosePreparedSQL (hstmt);
DBGetParamInt (hstmt, 1, &s32_TestId);
where sz_Buffer is my xml file content and s32_TestID the return value of the stored procdure (usp_InsertReport(@XMLCONTENT XML))
Now I face the problem, that DBCreateParamChar limits the buffer size to 8000 Bytes.
Any idea to by-pass this shortage??
