IN,OUT and IN OUT Parameter Types

Dear All,
as per some book,
IN parameter uses Call by Reference
and OUT and IN OUT Uses Call by Value
we can use NOCOPY for Making OUT and IN OUT Call by Reference.
my small doubt is
when u r passing a reference of a Variable how oracle takes care that only IN Parameter are not allowed to change (in c and c++ we can say *para to access the variables) ,
i mean in case i use NOCOPY all parameter type are using CALL BY REFERENCE then how the "No Modify" is forced in case of IN Parameter.
Thanks for Reading Request.
Raj.

The pl/sql compiler will simply not allow you to have a stmt that assigns something to an "IN" parameter. It can fully be enforced at compile time.

  • Callable statement: out parameter type issue

    Hello again.
    My question is:
    how can I register the out parameter of a callable statement so that it may contain an oracle Cursor?
    Whether I register it to Types.OTHER (Types from the java.sql package) or OracleTypes.CURSOR (OracleTypes from the oracle.jdbc.driver package) it still says :
    PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
    when trying to execute a statement that returns a cursor.
    I am using the com.sap.portals.jdbc.oracle package for the driver and such.
    If I change to use the oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver and register the out parameter to OracleTypes.CURSOR, then it works.
    Thanks in advance,

    1) i have write some java code using as usual my IDE:
    public class P141_JAVABridge
    public static void execute()
    String databaseDriver = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
    String databaseUrl = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx:1521:orcl";
    String databaseUsername = "xxx";
    String databasePassword = "xxx";
    ods.setDriverType(databaseDriver);
    ods.setURL(databaseUrl);
    ods.setUser(databaseUsername);
    ods.setPassword(databasePassword);
    connection = ods.getConnection();
    .... some code
    map.put("custom_T",Custom_T_SQLData.class);
    CallableStatement call = connection.prepareCall("call P141(?,?)");
    call.setObject(1,inputObjectReference);
    call.registerOutParameter(2,OracleTypes.STRUCT,"custom_T");
    call.execute();
    .... some code
    2) i run this code - wooha! it works
    3) i have changed
    connection = ods.getConnection();
    to
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:default:connection:");
    4) compile and load class into oracle
    5) i have linked P141_JAVABridge.execute() with P141_JB
    create or replace PROCEDURE P141_JB () IS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'x.y.z.P141_JAVABridge.execute()';
    6) then i executed P141_JB
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
    BEGIN
    ...some code
    P141_JB();
    ...some code
    END;
    and got NullPointerException at

  • Oracle Instant Client and OUT Parameter of custom type in Stored Procedures

    Hi @ all!
    I try to set up a simple client application, that calls a stored procedure via Instant Client from C#.
    The stored procedure and assiciated types looks like this:
    TYPE MYVALUE AS OBJECT
          Id      INTEGER,
          value     FLOAT
    TYPE MYVALUELIST AS TABLE OF MYVALUE;
    PROCEDURE ReadValues( ID IN INTEGER,
                                        RESULTSET OUT MYVALUELIST)
                                           IS
    ...I created an Oracle Command executing this SP and added OracleParameters for ID and (where I got stuck) the RESULTSET.
    Is it possible to pass a parameter with a custom type from C# in some way?
    I already tried it as a function with SELECT * FROM TABLE(ReadValues(1));
    With my parameter RESULTSET as the RETURN type. But since I use DML within the procedure, this does not work inside of a query...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Greg!
    Sorry, I misunderstood the forum topic then. =(
    Anyway, in the example you provided in the link, this is nearly exactly my situation. But there the Oracle.DataAccess.Client is used, where the OracleDBType can be called to initialize an object of type person. I use the instant client libraries called by using System.Data.OracleClient. There is only the OracleType enum, that does not contain an object or something similar.
    So I do it right now after trying a bit with a ref cursor parameter and an OracleDataAdapter - the ref cursor is passed back from Oracle as a DataReader, so die DataAdapter is able to use it for a .Fill():
    OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand();
    cmd.Parameters.Add("RESULTSET", OracleType.Cursor).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
    OracleDataAdapter odr = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd);
    DataTable result = new DataTable();
    odr.Fill(result);Within my stored procedure I just added the following OUT parameter:
    PROCEDURE ReadValues( ID IN INTEGER,
                                        RESULTSET OUT sys_refcursor)
                                           IS
    currentlist MYVALUELIST;
    ... [Adding elements to that list] ...
    OPEN resultset for select * from TABLE(currentlist);It works now, but I don't like that solution that much since I'm always afraid that there are lots of opened cursors idyling around. Do I have to close this one explicitly after filling my table by the DataAdapter?

  • Performance problem with sproc and out parameter ref cursor

    Hi
    I have sproc with Ref Cursor as an OUT parameter.
    It is extremely slow looping over the ResultSet (does it record by record in the fetch).
    so I have added setPrefetchRowCount(100) and setPrefetchMemorySize(6000)
    pseudo code below:
    string sqlSmt = "BEGIN get_tick_data( :v1 , :v2); END;";
    Statement* s = connection->createStatement(sqlStmt);
    s->setString(1, i1);
    // cursor ( f1 , f2, f3 , f4 , i1 ) f for float type and i for interger value.
    // 5 columns as part of cursor with 4 columns are having float value and
    // 1 column is having int value assuming 40 bytes for one rec.
    s->setPrefetchRowCount (100);
    s->PrefetchMemorySize(6000);
    s->registerOutParam(2,OCCICURSOR);
    s->execute();
    ResultSet* rs = s->getCursor(2);
    while (rs->next()) {
    // do, and do v slowly!
    }

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. It seems, when retrieving cursor, that "setPrefetchRowCount" is not taking into account by OCCI. If you have a SQL statement like "SELECT STR1, STR2, STR3 FROM TABLE1" that works fine but if your SQL statement is a call to a stored procedure returning a cursor each row fetching need a roudtrip.
    To avoid this problem you need to use the method "setDataBuffer" from the object "ResultSet" for each column of your cursor. It's easy to use with INT type and STRING type, a lit bit more complex with DATE type. But until now, I'm not able to do the same thing with REF type.
    Below a sample with STRING TYPE (It's assuming that the cursor return only one column of STRING type):
    try
      l_Statement = m_Connection->createStatement("BEGIN :1 := PACKAGE1.GetCursor1(:2); END;");
      l_Statement->registerOutParam(1, oracle::occi::OCCINUMBER, sizeof(l_CodeErreur));
      l_Statement->registerOutParam(2, oracle::occi::OCCICURSOR);
      l_Statement->executeQuery();
      l_CodeErreur = l_Statement->getNumber(1);
      if ((int) l_CodeErreur     == 0)
        char                         l_ArrayName[5][256];
        ub2                          l_ArrayNameSize[5];
        l_ResultSet  = l_Statement->getCursor(2);
        l_ResultSet->setDataBuffer(1, l_ArrayName,   OCCI_SQLT_STR, sizeof(l_ArrayName[0]),   l_ArrayNameSize,   NULL, NULL);
        while (l_ResultSet->next(5))
          for (int i = 0; i < l_ResultSet->getNumArrayRows(); i++)
            l_Name = CString(l_ArrayName);
    l_Statement->closeResultSet(l_ResultSet);
    m_Connection->terminateStatement(l_Statement);
    catch (SQLException &p_SQLException)
    I hope that sample help you.

  • Calling a stored procedure with a table of custom types as a out parameter

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use toplink 11.1.1.0.0 to call a stored procudure with 4 in paramrs and a single out parameter of type gsearch_type which is a userdefined type defined as below
    CREATE or replace TYPE search_object as object (mdlnumber varchar2(12), hit clob);
    create or replace type gsearch_type as table of search_object;
    Is it possible to get the return value from this stored procedure using toplink.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    - Sunil

    Currently TopLink can't directly handle that kind of output parameter.
    As a workaround you would need a wrapper for the stored procedure - it could be either another stored procedure or an anonymous block which would return the components of the complex parameter as several simple parameters.

  • Problem in Mapping RefCursors(in/out parameter) and Collections(in/out)

    Hi,
    Can anyone help to solve the proble listed below as it is affecting the business process
    The API for A is listed below. It takes Oracle Object types as input/output.
    PROCEDURE A(
    p_serviceOrder IN ServiceOrder,
    p_serviceID IN OUT p_sm_type.ServiceID,
    p_serviceOrderID OUT p_sm_type.ServiceOrderID,
    returnStatus OUT CallStatus);
    The ServiceOrder and CallStatus are Oracle Object types.
    The wrapper procedure for this api would be something like the example with pseudo-code below.
    PROCEDURE B(
    p_serviceOrder IN REF CURSOR,
    p_serviceID IN OUT p_sm_type.ServiceID,
    p_serviceOrderID OUT p_sm_type.ServiceOrderID,
    returnStatus OUT REF CURSOR) {
    Map from REF CURSOR p_serviceOrder To Oracle Object for ServiceOrder;
    Map from other data types to local variables;
    Call A(pass the parameters here and get output…);
    Map output CallStatus to its equivalent REF CURSOR variable;
    Return CallStatus (and other OUT parameters if any) as REF CURSORs;
    It will be highly needful for the solution as it is affecting the business flow requirement.

    Hi,
    i think you must set the value for this parameter and additional you must
    register this parameter as out parameter.
    I hope it works.

  • Calling an Oracle stored procedure and retrieving result from OUT parameter

    Hello,
    I have a stored procedure that returns a string in an OUT parameter after receiving 6 IN parameters. I have tested the procedure in PL/SQL and it's producing the right output there. The problem is when I call the stored procedure from my Java method. I then get an error message telling me that I have the wrong number or types of arguments in my procedure call. I have checked that the method receives and sends the correct data in the correct order and I'm not sure what else the error message can relate to...?
    The exception is called on my second try statement but I haven't been able to find out what I have done wrong there. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Procedure with table type out parameter

    Hi,
    I need to create a procedure which gives back a content of a table as an out parameter.
    i have tried something like below code
    it might not be correct since i am writing from home and cannot access any oracle db right now
    create or replace procedure test (
    table_out test_table%rowtype
    ) as
    type table_out test_table%rowtype
    begin
    select * into table_out
    from test_table
    where country = 'HUN';
    end;
    compile doesnt gives error, but when running it i get error
    declare
    table_out test_table%rowtype
    begin
    test( table_out );
    dbms_output.put_line( table_out );
    end;
    but it fails, could you help how to solve the above problem and call the proc correctly?
    thanks in advance

    Well you said you want the content of a table but your example says you just want a record. So for a record:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_test (EMP_REC OUT EMP%ROWTYPE) IS
    BEGIN
        select * into emp_rec from emp where empno = 7369;
    END;The anonymous block to run it might be:
    declare
    tab_out emp%rowtype;
    begin
    sp_test(tab_out);
    dbms_output.put_line(tab_out.ename);
    end;As damorgan said the dbms_output can't be used with the record type. Notice I used it for the ENAME value of the record.
    If you really want the entire table then do it the way damorgan suggests. A pipeline function can give you the table but not as an OUT parameter.

  • Pass a record type vaiable in out parameter of a function in a package

    Hi All,
    1.I have created a ecod inside a package.
    2.Then created a function which has a out parameter of the above record.
    3.Now package body i'm creating a dynamic cursor .
    4.My equirement is to fetch this dynamic cursor's value into the out parameter of the function.
    I have created the below code for 1,2 and 3 but not getting how to achive the point 4.
    create package pkg
    type t_rec is recod (id number,id_name varchar2(10));
    type t_data is table of t_rec index by binary_integer;
    act_data t_data;
    funcion return_data is (dept in number,region in number,o_rec out t_data) return boolean;
    end pkg;
    create package body pkg
    funcion return_data is (dept in number,region in number,o_rec out t_data) return boolean is
    p_cur sys_refcursor;
    l_text varchar2(100);
    begin
    -- As per my requirement i have built a dynamic l_text which contains where clause by taking dept and region values.In actual i have nearly 10 in paramaters with >which i'm building a dynamic where clause in l_text. So i'm using a ref cursor.
    open p_cur for 'select id,id_name from tab1'||l_text';
    fetch p_cur bulk collect into act_data;
    exception ....
    end pkg;Now as per the code snippet i could fetch all the rows returned by p_cur into act_data.
    But how i will pass it though out parameter in the function which i will use somewhere in front end to show data.
    Please help me in this.
    Thanks in advance.

    The ref cursor interface in PL/SQL only support a static/fixed number of bind variables. So if you want to create cursors with variable number of bind values, you need to use conditional processing. E.g.

    SQL>And this approach is for external clients - where a Visual Basic or Java client program calls the database, executes the stored procedure, and receives a cursor handle in turn. And the client then fetches the output of this cursor and process it.
    There is no need to return a record type of any sorts. The client wants the cursor handle as that is the optimal and best interface for the client to receive database data.
    If the caller is not an external client, but another PL/SQL procedure, then this approach does not make much sense.
    It is important that you understand basic Oracle concepts and fundamentals. What a cursor is. What the best way is to process Oracle data. How to best use the basic features of Oracle. Without that basic understanding, you as good as a low hour Cessna pilot getting into an Airbus A400M - where the Cessna pilot would not even be able to start a single engine, never mind get the plane in the air.
    Likewise, without a basic understanding of Oracle cursors and fundamentals, you will be unable to code even a single line of sensible code. Not because you are a bad programmer. Even the best programmer in the world will be unable to write decent code, if the programmer has no idea how the environment works, what the concepts and fundamentals are. But it is fair to expect that a good programmer will no write such code, understand that there is a lack of knowledge, and address that accordingly.

  • OUT parameter with NOCOPY hint of type SYS_REFCURSOR

    Hi,
    I am having a procedure which returns a set of 100+ records (each record having 10+ columns) through a OUT parameter of type SYS_REFCURSOR.
    These output records are used in JAVA code for fecthing the resultset and process data.
    Will it make any difference in performance if I use NOPCOPY compiler hint in this procedure (especially I am interested in the interaction between JAVA and PLSQL, with and without NOCOPY parameter).
    Thanks.

    Hi RP,
    Thanks for the answer.
    So the PLSQL OUT parameter of type SYS_REFCURSOR would be passing just a reference (memory address) to JAVA.
    This behavior is same with or without NOCOPY. Is my understanding correct?
    Thanks.Yes. A ref cursor is just a pointer to a query, not a result set of data. Using NOCOPY or not is pointless (excuse the pun) because, no matter how much data is going to get returned, the pointer itself is no smaller or larger in size, and thus using NOCOPY won't improve performance or save resources.
