How to bind arrays to PL/SQL stored procedure using OCI?

Hi,
We are having problems trying to bind arrays to PL/SQL stored procedure using OCI. Here is the situation:
- We have a stored procedure called "GetVEPFindTasks" with the following interface:
PROCEDURE GetVEPFindTasks (
p_ErrorCode OUT NUMBER,
p_ErrorMsg OUT VARCHAR2,
p_RowCount OUT NUMBER,
p_VEPFindTasks OUT t_VEPFindTaskRecordTable,
p_MaxTask IN NUMBER);
t_VEPFindTaskRecordTable is a record with the following entries:
TYPE t_VEPFindTaskRecord IS RECORD (
RTCID NUMBER,
TransNum NUMBER,
TransTimestamp VARCHAR2(20),
Pathname1 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
Pathname2 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
Pathname3 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
OperatorID operator.id%TYPE);
- Now, we are trying to call the stored procedure from C++ using OCI (in UNIX). The call that we use are: OCIBindByName and OCIBindArrayOfStruct to bind the parameters to the corresponding buffers. We bind all parameters in the interface by name. Now, we do bind the record's individual item by name (RTCID, TransNum, etc.), and not as a record. I don't know if this is going to work. Then, we use the bind handles of the binded record items (only record items such as RTCID, TransNum, and NOT error_code which is not part of the record) to bind the arrays (using OCIBindArrayOfStruct).
All of the parameters that are binded as arrays are OUTPUT parameters. The rest are either INPUT or INPUT/OUTPUT parameters. Now, when we try to execute, OCI returns with an error "Invalid number or types of arguments" (or something to that sort... the number was something like ORA-06550). Please help...
Is there any sample on how to use the OCIBindArrayOfStruct with PL/SQL stored procedures? The sample provided from Oracle is only for a straight SQL statement.
Thank's for all your help.

As you said:
You have to pass in an array for every field and deconstruct/construct the record in the procedure. There is no support for record type or an array of records. Can you give me a example? I'am very urgently need it.

You are correct on all counts, they all should work.

How to get name of PL/SQL stored procedure being executed?

When executing a PL/SQL stored procedure, is there a way to extract the name of the procedure programatically?
(Similar to the way an Oracle Form can retrieve it's own name via GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURRENT_FORM_NAME). )

Problems binding array in C# to stored procedure.

I'm having trouble trying to pass an array of ID's to a stored procedure that is expecting an array (listed the procedure definition below). My current interface doesn't return an error, but it also doesn't insert the proper id's.
STORED PROCEDURE DEFINITION:
TYPE source_ids IS TABLE OF wweb.DM_ASSOCIATIONS.source_id%TYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
PROCEDURE add_message_associations
(p_dm_message_id IN wweb.dm_messages.dm_message_id%TYPE
,p_association_type IN wweb.dm_associations.association_type%TYPE
,p_sources IN source_ids
,p_create_user IN wweb.dm_associations.create_user%TYPE)
.......variable definitions here...
v_source_id := p_sources.First;
WHILE v_source_id IS NOT NULL
LOOP
-- Check if this association already exists.
-- If not add them.
v_assoc_exists := 0;
FOR r_chk IN
(SELECT 1 AS assoc_exists_flag
FROM dm_associations a
WHERE a.dm_message_id = p_dm_message_id
AND a.association_type = p_association_type
AND a.source_id = v_source_id)
LOOP
v_assoc_exists := r_chk.assoc_exists_flag;
END LOOP;
IF v_assoc_exists = 0 THEN
-- Add the association
INSERT INTO wweb.dm_associations
(dm_association_id
,dm_message_id
,association_type
,source_id
,source_column_name
,active_flag
,create_date
,create_user
,last_update_date
,last_update_user)
VALUES
(wweb.dm_associations_s.NEXTVAL
,p_dm_message_id
,p_association_type
,v_source_id
,v_source_column_name
,1
,SYSDATE
,p_create_user
,SYSDATE
,p_create_user);
END IF;
.......error handling here...
C# CODE:
OracleParameter[] param = new OracleParameter[4];
param[0] = new OracleParameter("p_dm_message_id", OracleDbType.Long);
param[1] = new OracleParameter("p_association_type", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 5);
param[2] = new OracleParameter("p_sources", OracleDbType.Int32);
param[3] = new OracleParameter("p_create_user", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 25);
param[0].Value = 1;
param[1].Value = "ER";
param[2].Value = new Int32 [] {1, 172, 412, 7953};
param[3].Value = "SVC-GDESAI";
param[2].CollectionType = OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray;
param[2].Size = 4;
param[2].ArrayBindStatus = new OracleParameterStatus[4]{OracleParameterStatus.Success, OracleParameterStatus.Success, OracleParameterStatus.Success, OracleParameterStatus.Success};
cn = new OracleConnection(ConnectionString);
cn.Open();
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand();
cmd.Connection = cn;
cmd.CommandText= "dynamic_messages_api.add_message_associations";
cmd.CommandType= CommandType.StoredProcedure;
foreach (OracleParameter p in param)
if ((p.Direction == ParameterDirection.InputOutput || p.Direction == ParameterDirection.Input) && (p.Value == null || p.Value.ToString() == ""))
p.Value = DBNull.Value;
cmd.Parameters.Add(p);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
This ran fine, and created four rows in the table, but the source id's were (1, 2, 3, 4) instead of (1, 172, 412, 7953) which were the ones I passed in.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,

Hi,
I think you have a problem in you PL/SQL procedure. When you receive an array in the procedure, it is your responsibility to parse it explicitely with a loop or to bulk insert with a "forall" (implicit).
For instance, here is an example of a procedure of mine. I don't catch exceptions as I want the C# calling code to know about them:
The type t_* are defined like yours.
procedure UpdateDistribDates(p_bannerid in t_bannerid,
p_promonumber in t_promonumber,
p_datenumber in t_datenumber,
p_actualdate in t_actualdate ) is
BEGIN
-- First delete the existing dates in bulk
FORALL I IN P_BANNERID.FIRST..P_BANNERID.LAST
DELETE FROM PROMODISTRIBDATE
WHERE BANNERID = P_BANNERID(I)
AND PROMONUMBER = P_PROMONUMBER(I);
-- Then, insert the values passed in arrays.
FORALL I IN P_BANNERID.FIRST..P_BANNERID.LAST
INSERT INTO PROMODISTRIBDATE
(BANNERID,
PROMONUMBER,
DATENUMBER,
ACTUALDATE)
VALUES (P_BANNERID(I),
P_PROMONUMBER(I),
P_DATENUMBER(I),
P_ACTUALDATE(I));
END;
As you can see, the FORALL keyword will process the arrays passed as any other PL/SQL array in one chunk.
When you do the insert like:
INSERT INTO wweb.dm_associations
(dm_association_id
,dm_message_id
,association_type
,source_id
,source_column_name
,active_flag
,create_date
,create_user
,last_update_date
,last_update_user)
VALUES
(wweb.dm_associations_s.NEXTVAL
,p_dm_message_id
,p_association_type
,v_source_id
,v_source_column_name
,1
,SYSDATE
,p_create_user
,SYSDATE
,p_create_user);
In source_id, you insert the index of the table, not the value of the field.
I would suggest you completely rewrite this procedure by using the explicit loop like this:
1/ Explicit loop
FOR i IN 1 .. p_sources.COUNT LOOP
-- Check the existence
EXIST_FLAG := 0;
BEGIN
SELECT 1
INTO EXIST_FLAG
FROM ...
WHERE ...
AND a.source_id = p_source(i) <-- You are parsing here
AND ...
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN -- Nothing was found
EXIST_FLAG := 0;
END;
IF (EXIST_FLAG = 1)
INSERT INTO wweb.dm_associations
(dm_association_id
,dm_message_id
,association_type
,source_id
,source_column_name
,active_flag
,create_date
,create_user
,last_update_date
,last_update_user)
VALUES
(wweb.dm_associations_s.NEXTVAL
,p_dm_message_id
,p_association_type
,p_source(i) <-- You parse here
END IF;
END LOOP;
2/ Implicit loop and bulk insert
You would need to completely review the logic and build an array that maps exactly the row of the table you are trying to insert into. Parse the array and check for the existence of your entry, delete the row in memory when not found, then, after the loop do a bulk insert with a "forall".
Hope it helps,

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules (you have no idea).
Temporal data should use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums.
This is not a correct schema design; can you fix this mess?
A procedure is named <verb>_<object>.
There is no such thing as a “category_id” in RDBMS! A column is “<attribute>_<attribute property>” but this is two <attribute property>'s without an <attribute>. This is like adjectives without a noun!
Using integers to encode the homepage categories is an awful design. Have you been to a library? Look at the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Noobs never bother to properly design encoding schemes; really hopeless noobs use IDENTITY!
Aren't websites named and not numbered? What integer did you use to get to this website? See the point?
There is no such thing as a generic “id” or “name” or "category" in RDBMS. Table names are collective or plural nouns to show us that they are sets.
We do not use flags in RDBMS, so your “publication_flag” and “deletion_flag” are both verbs (attributes are noun!) and a huge design flaw.
Finally, you have made one of the classic Noob errors that most people un-learn in 3rd or 4th week of SQL. You cannot past a string to IN() and expect that string to be parsed for you! Think about how silly that is and get a laugh at yourself. SQL is compiled,
not interpreted like 1960's BASIC!
Google my articles on the long parameter list for the procedure. But your real problem is an awful schema, improperly designed in both the DDL and data architecture.
Post the DDL and maybe we can fix it. But you need to get a book on basic data modeling as well as one on SQL.

Java Stored Procedure using OCI

The RoomsInformationProcedure example code has errors !!!
The RoomsInformationProcedure.java doesn't work because the second query is incorrect:
// Query to find out total number of available rooms for a given Room Type
// and Hotel ID
stmt = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT TOTAL_"+ roomType +
" FROM room_availability WHERE " +
" hot_id = TO_NUMBER(?) AND " +
" booking_date = ( SELECT MAX(booking_date) " +
" FROM room_availability " +
" WHERE hot_id = TO_NUMBER(?) )" );
stmt.setString(1,hotelId); // Bind Input Hotel ID Parameter
stmt.setString(2,hotelId); // Bind Input Hotel ID Parameter ! ERROR !
stmt.setString(2,roomType); // Bind Input Room Type !OK !
Also review the columns name in the table.

No, the code is correct and it works as expected.
Here is why :
a) The relational table room_availability has following columns :
Name Null? Type
HOT_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
BOOKING_DATE NOT NULL DATE
BOOKED_SGLB NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
BOOKED_DBLE NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
BOOKED_QEEN NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
BOOKED_KING NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
BOOKED_SUIT NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
BOOKED_OTHR NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
TOTAL_SGLB NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
TOTAL_DBLE NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
TOTAL_QEEN NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
TOTAL_KING NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
TOTAL_SUIT NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
TOTAL_OTHR NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
b) When you want to get total number of rooms for room type 'SGLB', for hotel with hot_id '7080', the above query becomes
select TOTAL_SGLB FROM room_availability WHERE hot_id = 7080 AND
booking_date = ( SELECT MAX(booking_date) FROM room_availability
where hot_id = 7080)
which returns expected value.
Note that : the roomType is appended to the sql query and is not binded to the prepared statement.

How to send a Varying Array param to a PL/SQL Stored Procedure from Java

* I am VERY new to jdbc, and even somewhat new to Java
* I'm using Java 1.5, Oracle 10g.
* I need to call the following PL/SQL Stored Procedure from Java:
procedure setEventStatus
i_deQueueStatus in deQueueStatus_type
*deQueueStatus_type is the following (an array of deQueueStatus_OBJ):
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE deQueueStatus_OBJ as object
eventID number (20),
dequeuestatus varchar2(20)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE deQueueStatus_TYPE IS VARYING ARRAY(500) of deQueueStatus_obj
*I have created a Java object as follows:
public class EventQueueDeQueueStatus
     long      eventID;
     String      dequeueStatus;
     EventQueueDeQueueStatus(long eventID, String dequeueStatus)
          this.eventID = eventID;
          this.dequeueStatus = dequeueStatus;
I have an ArrayList of these.
I need to pass this list to the Stored Procedure. How do I create a java.sql.Array so I can call CallableStatement.setArray to set the parameter? Or do I use something else? I have tried setObject with both the ArrayList and also with a primitive array, but got "Invalid Column Type" both times.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just got this task today, and I have to make it work by Tuesday :-( !
Thanks,

How to create an External Content Type with SQL Stored Procedures Parameters and query it in a SharePoint App

Hi,
I'm new to SharePoint 2013 I want to be able to query a MSSQL database from a SharePoint App I have tried to create an External Content Type (ECT) which is produced from a MSSQL stored Procedure, this procedure has several parameters which are needed to
filter the data correctly. From here I want to produce an external list which I can then query from a c# SharePoint app. If I leave the filters in the ECT null then the list is of course empty or if enter a default values the results are limited
for the app to query so are no good.
I want to dynamically pass values to the ECT when querying from the app, is this not possible. Should I just be returning everything in an external list and then letting the query in the app filter the data, this seems inefficient?
Is this the best way to do this or should I be doing this differently?
Please can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hi Pandra801,
When you create a the external content type, please try to add a filter based on your select statement.
http://arsalkhatri.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/external-list-with-bcs-search-filters-finders/
Or, try to create a stored procedure based on your select statement, then create ECT using the SQL stored procedure.
