Dubugging PL/SQL variables - help !

whilst debugging my PL/SQL in 9.0.3 i am unable to get the values of my "cursor" row values. I can get inspect declared variables but i cannot watch/inspect what data is currently being processed in the cursor ....
with the simple code below I can evalue the var2 variable but the imptxn.column1 value returns nothing !!! This is annoying as i do not want to setup lots of variables.
SELECT *
FROM txnimport;
BEGIN
FOR imptxn IN imptxnc
LOOP
DECLARE
BEGIN
nacccount := 0;
var1 := imptxn.column1;
any ideas ???
phil

Hi Philip,
What version of the database are you debugging with?
When debugging with a 8.1.7 and 9i-release-1 database, you can use the JDeveloper debugger's Watches window to view the value of imptxn.column1.
When debugging with a 9i-release-2 database, you can't. (Sorry.) This has already been entered bug #2482666 with description "UNABLE TO SEE CURSOR INFORMATION WITH 9.2".
If you have an 8.1.7 or 9i-release-1 database available, you might want to try debugging with it. However, the debugging support in these older database is not as complete (in other areas besides this cursor issue) as the debugging support in the 9i-release-2 database.
Sorry,
Liz

Using sql:variable in an insert statement

I'm writing an insert statement for a table with an XML column. Most of the XML is static, but I need to replace the value of an element with the value of a T-SQL variable, as shown here:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[OrderDetail](
[OrderID] [int] NULL,
[OrderDetail] [xml] NULL
GO
DECLARE @XMLData XML;
DECLARE @ItemID INT;
SET @ItemID = 1000;
SELECT @XMLData = N'
<OrderDetail xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
</OrderDetail>
SET @XMLData.modify('insert <ItemID>[sql:variable("@ItemID")]</ItemID> into (/OrderDetail)[1]')
INSERT INTO [dbo].[OrderDetail] ([OrderID], [OrderDetail])
VALUES (@ItemID, @XMLData);
When I run this, it inserts "[sql:variable("@ItemID")]" instead of the value of @ItemID. If someone could show me the proper syntax, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Yes, that worked. Now I want to change it a little. I also have an attribute that I need to update with the value of a variable.
DECLARE @XMLData XML;
DECLARE @SetID INT;
DECLARE @SetIDStr VARCHAR(12);
DECLARE @SetIDXML XML;
SET @SetID = 9999;
SET @SetIDStr = CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), @SetID);
SET @SetIDXML = CONVERT(XML, @SetIDStr);
SELECT @XMLData = N'
<OrderDetail xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<ItemID>1000</ItemID>
<RightOperand ID="15524" Name="ItemName" Value="15524" />
</OrderDetail>
SET @XMLData.modify('replace value of (/OrderDetail/RightOperand/@ID)[1] with sql:variable("@SetIDXML")');
INSERT INTO [dbo].[OrderDetail] ([OrderID], [OrderDetail])
VALUES (@SetID, @XMLData);
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[OrderDetail];
I'm trying to replace "ID="15524"" with the value of @SetID. This code throws an exception:
Msg 9342, Level 16, State 1, Line 23
XQuery [modify()]: An XML instance is only supported as the direct source of an insert using sql:column/sql:variable.
Thanks again for your help.

Sql:variable and XML query performance

Can someone help with sql:variable() in xml queries? It seems that when I attempt to reference variables with the sql:variable(...) function in an xpath function (exist or nodes) it comes up with a totally different query plan, possibly ignoring
my secondary indices like the ones for VALUE, PATH.
But if I replace sql:variable("@p_ObjectIdentifierForReference") with the literal (ie. "ord/p/ord0616.p") then it uses secondary indices more consistently.
Below you will see an unsuccessful attempt to get the query to "OPTIMIZE FOR" a specific literal value of @p_ObjectIdentifierForReference. But this doesn't give work. It doesn't give me a plan using the secondary index I expect.
Ideally there would be a way to get the sql:variable(...) function to give the same query plan as a literal. Not sure why that isn't the default behavior.

@p_ObjectIdentifierForReference

I tried to create a "repro" of your query so we can work on it and try and improve it, but I got the best results by just adding text() and [1] to it, eg
SELECT
XREF_FileDataReference.XREF_FileData AS XrefFileData,
InnerRowNode.value('(/D:Reference/D:File-num/text())[1]', 'int') AS FileNumber,
InnerRowNode.value('(/D:Reference/D:Line-num/text())[1]', 'int') AS LineNumber

In my main repro, even with a large piece of xml with 100,000 elements, there still wasn't much difference between the queries:

So I guess I'm saying I cannot reproduce your problem on SQL 2008 R2 or SQL 2012. Does anything about this repro stand out as different from your situation?
Looking at your query I would say you might consider the following:
are you really seeing big differences in query duration?
pretty much ignore estimated plan costs for xml queries
consider breaking it up; eg carve off the xml then do the joins? If poor cardinality estimation is part of the problem this might help
Understand what PATH, PROPERTY and VALUE are for, then only create the ones you need
do you really have the range of queries that requires all three?
this is still a great article on xml indexes:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191497.aspx
What's performance like with the primary xml index only?
If performance is that important, consider materialising the columns permanently
I think the buffer_descriptors stuff is a distraction - mostly your cache is warm right?
plan forcing could be a last resort
Selective XML indexes in SQL 2012 onwards are great : ) much less storage required for example but much more specific

Create a cursor from a PL/SQL variable or an external file

Dear friends,
is there a way for me to make Oracle Forms read a cursor from a PL/SQL variable, or an external file? Let's suppose we have the code below:
DECLARE
cursor c_values is select * from my_table;
r_values c_values%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
for r_values in c_values loop
do_something;
end loop;
END;
In the situation described above, could I create "select * from my_table" from a PL/SQL variable (it could be something like p_cursor = 'select * from my_table'), or an external file - for example, make my form read the contents of c:\my_select.sql , where we see the "select * from my table" text?
My question comes because I need to export data from select instructions that were dinamically created inside the form - that is, via PL/SQL -, and I don't want to rewrite it, but I'll have to do it if I have no choice. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Franklin

Dear friends,
I am using DBMS_SQL package, which solved my problem. Please let me explain it better, if it's not clear.
I have some PL/SQL blocks inside my form, which creates SQL queries dinamically, and a dinamically created SQL is stored into a VARCHAR2 variable. These SQL queries are exported for use in Oracle Graphics, but since OG is not being developed by Oracle anymore then I am trying to find a substitute for it.
So I thought about creating an option for the final user: he/she can choose exporting data into Microsoft Excel, and user does what he/she wants, creating a customized graphic. Exporting into Excel works finely, with no problems at all - I could find a routine by searching on the web.
My goal was to use the same queries created above to export data dinamically to Microsoft Excel, and I absolutely don't want to rewrite all these dinamically created queries - one which works dinamically, other with no flexibility inside my form. Worse than it, I have many other dinamically created queries, and I obviously don't want to rewrite them all - any maintenance in this form would be terrible, with each SQL instruction written twice.
Since all dinamically created SQL instructions are stored inside a VARCHAR2 variable, I thought about reusing the same SQL, as explained above - and here we have your suggestions about using a ref cursor, execute immediate, and so on. And (answering Andreas) query structure is always based on the same table, but its structure changes a lot, depending on what the final user chooses in a drop-down list (it's a list of graphics options, where final user chooses one option, and form must mount SQL dinamically, based on user's choice).
By using your explanations, I could find DBMS_SQL solution here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96590/adg09dyn.htm#26799
. Please notice that I had to change DBMS_SQL.native into 1 for it to work in my form. I'll mark all your answers as helpful because I can use them both for database and form purposes.
If my message was not clear enough, please tell me and I'll try to make it more clear.
Best regards,
Franklin

Final cut x 10.0.5 sqlite error too many sql variables

Hi,
We have a 463MB final cut project that can´t load.
If we see console out, it says:
Final Cut Pro     CoreData: error: (1) I/O error for database at /Volumes/HD Pro RAID/Final Cut Projects/Teaser/CurrentVersion.fcpproject. SQLite error code:1, 'too many SQL variables'

     NSSQLiteErrorDomain = 1;
It seems that the project cames to big. I´m not the editor, so i can´t imagine how it could go that way and hao can we open it now.
Thanks.

Hi Jon.
Thanks for your help. I´ve seen a post telling the same thing. I finally let Final cut pro X about 8 hours and it finally opened the project, but i couldn´t make anything with it. Tried to export xml and import it to another project without success. The problem persists. So i also tried to cut some parts from the project and is still the same. For each test we must wait 8 hours and it´s not reasonable time to test things. I just sent the project to apple engineers, so if is there any solution i will post in here.
Thanks.

Populate the current os directory in a SQL variable

Hello, I need to populate a SQL variable in a script with the current OS directory I am working from. This is a windows environment and I am using oracle version 9.2.0.1. I know if you do SQL>$cd it will execute a cd like you are at the dos prompt. Is there a way to put this into a SQL variable? This is a SQL*Plus script.
Thank you.

I have a tech support incident ongoing with ADC about this. People are away for the holidays, but so far I have been able to confirm that PackageMaker itself can't do this, as the name of the current user isn't available, nor do paths to the current Home directory work.
The only way is to have PackageMaker launch a preinstall shell or Applescript that does the "mv <item1> <item2>" or similar (the argument $1 that gets passed to these preinstall scripts IS the name of the user doing the install, so you can get the path to his home directory).
The problem THEN becomes, PackageMaker will not build a package that contains only scripts - it HAS to have some "payload" or you will get a build error. So the ultimate kludge would be to have it run the preinstall script, give it a bogus payload (empty file, etc) to install in e.g., /Library or /Applications, then have the postinstall script delete that bogus payload. I have not tried this so I do not know if it would work.
I am thinking now, with the extremely confusing and apparently contradictory rules that PackageMaker has, that the best way to install software is just to wrap a shell script in an Applescript Application Bundle wrapper (because you can't double-click a shell script without launching Terminal, so to have the user run a shell script you need to wrap it in Automator or AppleScript or a Cocoa app wrapper) and have the shell script do the copying of the files that you need. This still might result in the shell script trying to get some sort of permission (either sudo or that "Override user/group for xxx?" message).
I have read the rules on permissions for Packages about 1,017 times and they still make absolutely no sense to me, and I understand Unix permissions completely. All they would have to do is give some examples, but they don't.

Generic reporting on SQL variables using sqlgls() /Pro*C

Generic reporting on host/SQL variables using sqlgls()
I use sqlgls() in Pro*C 8.1.7 to get the last SQL statement that was parsed.
It returns something like this.
"select distinct QTY ,CHAPTER into :b0:b1,:b2:b3 from PT ,PU ,UIN U ,EU where (PART=:b4 and PU.PART=:b5) ....."
I would like to see what the values are for each input variable e.g :b4 and :b5
Is there any generic way of reporting what these values are rather than explicity writing code for each individual SQL statement?
Is there a Pro*C method that gets the values of :b4 and :b5??
We are recording the last SQL statement to a text file but cannot see what the values are that caused the SQL query to fail.
Please contact me at [email protected]

My answer is only for 1. problem (about ORA-01458)
I think that you use declaration for cursor C0 with a varchar
variable before you ininitialize length (member .len of varchar
structure) of this variable.
It's famous that many errors come from uninitialized varchar
variables in Pro*C.

Load a table in a PL/SQL variable

Hi!
I'm using Oracle 8i and I'm interested in load a table from my database in a PL/SQL variable.In addition,I'm using Nested Table Type for loading a database table in a variable.When I load the table in the variable, I try doing a SQL query to the variable (is a nested table) but it doesn't work.There is some solution?
In the following lines there is an example about what I'm trying:
PACKAGE Types AS
TYPE cursor_type IS REF CURSOR;
END Types;
CREATE TABLE EXAMPLE(
ID NUMBER(4),
VAL Number(3)
CREATE or replace TYPE My_Row_Type AS OBJECT
ID NUMBER(4),
NStreet Number(3)
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PROVA AS
TYPE My_Tab_Type IS TABLE OF My_Row_Type;
PROCEDURE GetEXAMPLE (p_recordset OUT types.cursor_type);
END PROVA;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY PROVA AS
PROCEDURE GetEXAMPLE (p_recordset OUT types.cursor_type) AS
v_tab My_Tab_Type := My_Tab_Type();
BEGIN
FOR cur_row IN (SELECT * FROM EXAMPLE) LOOP
v_tab.extend;
v_tab(v_tab.Last) := My_Row_Type(cur_row.ID,     cur_row.NStreet);
END LOOP;
-- Open REF CURSOR for outout.
OPEN p_recordset FOR
SELECT *
FROM Table(Cast(v_tab As My_Tab_Type));
END GetEXAMPLE ;
END PROVA;
When I execute the procedure GetEXAMPLE, Oracle shows me the following error:
ERROR en línea 1:
ORA-00600: código de error interno, argumentos: [15419], [severe error during
PL/SQL execution], [], [], [], [], [], []
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: error interno, argumentos: [pfrrun.c:pfrbnd1()], [], [], [],
ORA-06553: PLS-801: error interno [0]

Create your My_Tab_Type as a SQL Object Type, instead of a PL/SQL Table Type:
SQL> CREATE TABLE example
2    (id     NUMBER (4),
3      nstreet NUMBER (3))
4 /
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO example VALUES (1234, 123)

Passing Pl/Sql variables into shell variables.

I have written a file that ftp information from one pc to another in unix.
All you have to do is supply a user_name/password and machine name to which ftp program will connect to.
All connection information like user_id,password, machine name are stored in an oracle table FTP_TBL.
It has the following fields:
FTP_TBL
================
USER_ID      NOT NULL VARCHAR2(100);
USR_PASSWD      NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50);
TO_MACHINE     NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50);
I have called a pl/sql script in unix shell.
This script selects all the connection information from FTP_TBL and populates the pl/sql variables with the
information.
Now i want the pl/sql variables like V_TO_MACHINE,V_USR_ID,V_USR_PASSWD to be passed on to unix variables
To_MACHINE, USR_ID AND USR_PASSWD.
How can i do this?
============================================================================================================
sqlplus -s <<+++ >> $LOG_FILE
$USER/$PASSWD
set serverout on SIZE 1000000
DECLARE
V_TO_MACHINE VARCHAR2(100);
V_USR_ID VARCHAR2(50);
V_USR_PASSWD VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
     BEGIN
          SELECT TO_MACHINE, USER_ID, USR_PASSWD
          INTO V_TO_MACHINE,V_USR_ID,V_USR_PASSWD
          FROM FTP_TBL;
     EXCEPTION
          when others then
          dbms_output.put_line('ERROR|SQLPLUS|'||ERROR||'|'||sqlcode||'|Failed during selecting configuration information.'||sqlerrm );
     END;
END;
+++
#======================== VARIABLES =====================
TO_MACHINE=$1
USR_ID=$2
USR_PASSWD=$3
#========================== MAIN ========================
ftp -vnd $TO_MACHINE << ++ 1>>$STA_LOG_FILE 2>&1
user $USR_ID $USR_PASSWD
prompt off
get $OR_DATA_DIR/ASC.STADATA $HOME_DIR/ASC.STADATA
bye
++
# testing the exit status of FTP
egrep "Transfer complete" $STA_LOG_FILE >/dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
echo >> $STA_LOG_FILE
echo "FTP Successfully Done" >> $STA_LOG_FILE
else
echo >> $STA_LOG_FILE
echo "FTP UnSuccessfull" >> $STA_LOG_FILE
exit 1
fi

Here an example of how to pass variables to the shell script :
TEST@db102 SQL> select ename, job, dname from emp,dept
2 where empno = 7902
3 and emp.deptno = dept.deptno;
ENAME      JOB       DNAME
FORD       ANALYST   RESEARCH
TEST@db102 SQL> exit
Disconnected from Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
[ora102 work db102]$ cat disp_var.sh
set `sqlplus -s test/test << EOF
set pages 0
select ename, job, dname from emp,dept
where empno = 7902
and emp.deptno = dept.deptno;
exit
EOF`
echo $1 $2 $3
[ora102 work db102]$ ./disp_var.sh
FORD ANALYST RESEARCH

How to install SQL*Plus help facilities and demos.

Hi, everyone
It appears error message say "failure to login" during SQL*Plus
part of the Oracle8 full installation. I knew that system want
to install SQL*Plus help and demos through logining one of
dba account(maybe system user account). However, due to
password's reason, can not log in SQL*Plus, so installer can't
execute named pupbld.sql script, result in SQL*Plus help and
demos can not be installed.
Now, I am intend to install these stuff lonely.
Could anyone help me? thank a lot.

Hi,
The pupbld.sql isn't the correct script to create the help
facility, it just creates product and user profile tables.
The help script is at $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/help (run as
system)
cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/help
sqlplus system/<password> @helptbl
sqlldr system/<password> control=plushelp.ctl
sqlldr system/<password> control=plshelp.ctl
sqlldr system/<password> control=sqlhelp.ctl
sqlplus system/<password> @helpindx
I think it is necessary to run the pupbld.sql script, without
this script everyone who logins in oracle with sqlplus will see
an error message, but... Run the script again:
$ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/pupbld.sql
Best regards,
Ari
