Problem with pl/sql table data type

hai friends,
i have one procedure it has some in parameters and one out parameter which fetches values to front end.
But the out parameter will be pl/sql table data type.
if it is ref cursor
then i declared as
var x refcursor;
exec procedure_name(1,:x);
it is ok.
but for pl/sql table data type is out parameter then what i will do in the prompt .
give me syntax and clarify my doubt.
advanced thanks...
madhava

The SQL*Plus VARIABLE statement does not support user-defined types, hence it cannot support nested tables. It can support cursors because they can be weakly typed (so we can use the one SQL*Plus VAR to hold any shape of resultset). Nested tables are strongly typed; SQL*Plus is a relatively stupid interface and cannot be expected to understand UDT.
So, it you want to use nested tables as output you'll need to code a wrapping procedure that can understand your nested table type and handle it accordingly.
Sorry.
Cheers, APC

Problems with java constructor: "inconsistent data types" in SQL query

Hi,
I tried to define a type "point3d" with some member functions, implemented in java, in my database. Therefor I implemented a class Point3dj.java as you can see it below and loaded it with "loadjava -user ... -resolve -verbose Point3dj.java" into the database.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
package spatial.objects;
import java.sql.*;
public class Point3dj implements java.sql.SQLData {
public double x;
public double y;
public double z;
public void readSQL(SQLInput in, String type)
throws SQLException {
x = in.readDouble();
y = in.readDouble();
z = in.readDouble();
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput out)
throws SQLException {
out.writeDouble(x);
out.writeDouble(y);
out.writeDouble(z);
public String getSQLTypeName() throws SQLException {
return "Point3dj";
public Point3dj(double x, double y, double z)
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
public static Point3dj create(double x, double y, double z)
return new Point3dj(x,y,z);
public double getNumber()
return Math.sqrt(this.x*this.x + this.y*this.y + this.z*this.z);
public static double getStaticNumber(double px, double py, double pz)
return Math.sqrt(px*px+py*py+pz*pz);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Additionally, I created the corresponding type in SQL by
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE point3dj AS OBJECT EXTERNAL NAME
'spatial.objects.Point3dj' LANGUAGE JAVA USING SQLDATA (
x FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'x',
y FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'y',
z FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'z',
MEMBER FUNCTION getNumber RETURN FLOAT
EXTERNAL NAME 'getNumber() return double',
STATIC FUNCTION getStaticNumber(xp FLOAT, yp FLOAT, zp FLOAT) RETURN FLOAT
EXTERNAL NAME 'getStaticNumber(double, double, double) return double')
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After that I tried some SQL commands:
create table pointsj of point3dj;
insert into pointsj values (point3dj(2,1,1));
SELECT x, a.getnumber() FROM pointsj a;Now, the problem:
Everything works fine, if I delete the constructor
public Point3dj(double x, double y, double z)
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
in the java class, or if I replace it with a constructor that has no input arguments.
But with this few code lines in the java file, I get an error when executing the SQL command
SELECT x, a.getnumber() FROM pointsj a;The Error is:
"ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: an IN argument at position 1 that is an instance of an Oracle type convertible to an instance of a user defined Java class expected, an Oracle type that could not be converted to a java class received"
I think, there are some problems with the input argument of the constructor, but why? I don't need the constructor in SQL, but it is used by a routine of another java class, so I can't just delete it.
Can anybody help me? I would be very glad about that since I already tried a lot and also search in forums and so on, but wasn't successful up to new.
Thanks!

Dear Avi,
This makes sense when it is a short code sample (and i think i've done that across various posts), but sometime this is too long to copy/paste, in these cases, i refer to the freely available code samples, as i did above on this forum; here is the quote.
Look at examples of VARRAY and Nested TABLES of scalar types in the code samples of my book (chapter 8) http://books.elsevier.com/us//digitalpress/us/subindex.asp?maintarget=companions/defaultindividual.asp&isbn=9781555583293&country=United+States&srccode=&ref=&subcode=&head=&pdf=&basiccode=&txtSearch=&SearchField=&operator=&order=&community=digitalpress
As you can see, i was not even asking people to buy the book, just telling them where to grab the code samples.
I appreciate your input on this and as always, your contribution to the forum, Kuassi

Sap4rails - Problem with automatic handling of data types under Windows

Hello all,
I've been trying to develop my own application using sap4rails library but whenever I call one of standard RFCs I always get strange results. Here is the piece of the code from my model which gets data from CURRENCY_LIST table:
require "sap4rails"
class App < SAP4Rails
@@funcs = [
       'BAPI_CURRENCY_GETLIST',
# User defined instance methods here
attr_accessor :message
class << self
def getlist()
    RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.info("[App]#getlist ")
    App.BAPI_CURRENCY_GETLIST.call()
    return App.BAPI_CURRENCY_GETLIST.currency_list.rows()
end
end
here is the code from the controller
class AppController < ApplicationController
layout "standard-layout"
def index
list
render_action 'list'
end
def list
    RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.info("[LIST] action started...")
    @currencies = App.getlist()
end
end
end the code from the view:
<html>
<head>
    <title> Currencies </title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Listing Currencies</h1>
     <table border="1">
       <tr>
         <% @currencies.first.each_key {|key| %>
         <th><%= key %></th>
         <% } %>
       </tr>
       <% for currency in @currencies %>
       <tr>
         <% currency.each_value {|val| %>
         <td><%= val %></td>
         <% } %>
       </tr>
       <% end %>
     </table>
</body>
</html>
As you can see everything is just simple. I run my application on the Windows XP OS and always get such result:
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
   <html>

         <th>CURRENCY</th>
       </tr>

It seems like there is sth wrong with mapping data types from R/3 to data types in Ruby. Does anyone has an idea what could be wrong? I would be very grateful for any help.
Best Regards
Michal M.

First can you please post all log file errors
>> I can't really give you a solution or specific recommendation since I did not saw this error yet myself, but on your own risk you can try:
1. You may try to just register 'dts.dll' using regsvr32.exe, but this error may indicate a bigger problem with setup.
If you are running SQL Server 64bit then try running this at the command prompt: %windir%\syswow64\regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\dts\binn\dts.dll"
2. You can try reinstall from start (In this case you have to make sure that you un-install all)

Can anyone help me in a problem with PL/SQL Tables & the Java getArray()

The problem is the following:
I would tike to get a PL/SQL Table (a table of varchar2) into a Java String Array.
It works very well except that instead of getting the characters in the PL/SQL Table
I receive the character codes in each string.
In the following example i should get:
spring
summer
outumn
winter
Instead I get:
0x737072696E67
0x73756D6D6572
0x6F7574756D6E
0x77696E746572
Steps to try the sample
1)Creating the following type
create or replace TYPE CHAR_ARRAY IS TABLE OF VARCHAR(32767);
2)Creating the following stored procedure
create or replace PROCEDURE MQ_MSG_PROCESSOR
   MessageText in VARCHAR2,
   QueueName out VARCHAR2,
   RplyMessage out CHAR_ARRAY,
   HastoCommit out NUMBER
AS
   RMessage CHAR_ARRAY;
BEGIN
   QueueName:='DEV_OUT';
   RMessage:=CHAR_ARRAY();
   RMessage.Extend(4);
   RMessage(1):='spring';
   RMessage(2):='summer';
   RMessage(3):='outumn';
   RMessage(4):='winter';
   HastoCommit:=1;
   RplyMessage:=RMessage;
END;
3)Copiling and running the following java class
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.oracore.Util;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
import java.util.Dictionary;

Hi,
I tried the code with same procedure.
That works out fine for me..
and it prints out exactly the same words as you mentioned..:))
may be you must have changed something later on.. which started printing character codes..
but for me it works perfectly fine..
All The Best..

Package with table data type as out parameter.

Hi there, I managed to compile the package without error but when I am trying to test this package and
I am keep facing this error message.
Am I using correctly for the table data type as out parameter. I have no idea what is wrong with the package to fix.
Pls. help and advise me. Thanks.

Pl/sql table - row type records

Hi,
Is there any limit on the number of records that a pl/sql table (row type) can accomodate.Iam using oracle 10g

user11200499 wrote:
I have gone thru that url, nothing on the maximum number of records that can be present in pl/sql table is given there. Will be very helpful if you can let me know if there is any such limitation.There is no such thing as a PL/SQL "+table+". A table, in Oracle terminology, means colums and rows and indexes and the ability to scale data, effectively read and process and filter and aggregate data.
A so-called PL/SQL "+table+" is nothing at all like this.
The correct term for it, and used in all other programming languages, are arrays (procedural term) and collections (object orientated term).
An array/collection is a local memory structure in the unit of code. In PL/SQL, that means PGA (process global area) memory. And as this uses server memory, you should not abuse it and only use as much that is truly needed.
Make a PL/SQL array/collection too large, and PGA grows.. and can have a very negative impact on performance. It can even cause the server to crawl to halt, where you will struggle to enter a commandline command on the server as it is spending 99% of CPU time trying to deal with memory requests and page swapping.
So what do we then use arrays/collections for in PL/SQL?
For the very same reason we use in any other programming language - dealing with managing local programming data in a more effective memory structure. Such as bulk processing when requiring a buffer variable that can be passed to and from the PL and SQL engines.
This does NOT mean using it as you would use it as if it is a SQL table. As it is not.
So to answer your question of how large a PL/SQL array or collection can be? That depends entirely on the problem you are trying to solve. If it is for example bulk processing, then typically a collection of a 100 rows provides the best balance between the amount of (expensive) PGA memory being used versus the increase in performance by reducing context switching between the PL and SQL engines.
If the rows are quite small, perhaps even a 1,000 row collection. More than that seldom decreases context switching enough to justify the increase in expensive PGA.
So what should then be used to store larger data structures in PL/SQL? GTT or Global Temporary Tables. As this is a proper SQL table structure. Can be indexed. Natively supports SQL. Can scale with data volumes.
And most importantly, it does not consume dedicated process memory and will not blow server memory.

Reg: PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type error

I am trying to access a table of records through JDBC OracleCallableStatement. I am able to do it fine for all mappings except for the ones below
TYPE CAT_CD_TYPE IS TABLE OF A.B %TYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE ORG_CD_TYPE IS TABLE OF C.D %TYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
Column B is CHAR(1) and Column D is CHAR(2). I am trying to register the out parameters of Oraclecallablestatement as
cstmt.registerIndexTableOutParameter(2, 2000, OracleTypes.CHAR, 0);
cstmt.registerIndexTableOutParameter(3, 2000, OracleTypes.CHAR, 0);
All the other mappings work fine. These two fail with the error
SQLException in invokeDBPackage() : ORA-06550: line 1, column 32:
PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type
ORA-06550: line 1, column 35:
PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I tried other OracleTypes mappings too but no luck so far.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type

If a PL/SQL table is indexed by CHAR and is a parameter
in a Stored Program, we are not able to call the stored
program from the Java code.
We get the following error code.
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 62:
PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
But if we change the CHAR into VARCHAR2 then it works.
We are using Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0 -64bit Production ,
JServer Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production
and JDK1.4.

Issue with Oracle LONG RAW data type

Hi All,
I am facing some issues with Oracle LONG RAW DATA Type.
We are using Oracle 9IR2 Database.
I got a table having LONG RAW column and I need to transfer the same into another table having LONG RAW column.
When I tried using INSERT INTO SELECT * command (or) CREATE TABLE as select * , it is throwing ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype.
I have gone through some docs and found we should not use LONG RAW using these operations.
So I did some basic PLSQL block given below and I was able to insert most of the records. But records where the LONG RAW file is like 7O kb, the inserting is faliling.
I tried to convert LONG RAW to BLOB and again for the record where the LONG RAW is big in size I am getting (ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error) error.
Appreciate if anyone can help me out here.
DECLARE
Y LONG RAW;
BEGIN
FOR REC IN (SELECT * FROM TRU_INT.TERRITORY WHERE TERRITORYSEQ=488480 ORDER BY TERRITORYSEQ ) LOOP
INSERT INTO TRU_CMP.TERRITORY
BUSINESSUNITSEQ, COMPELEMENTLIFETIMEID, COMPONENTIMAGE, DESCRIPTION, ENDPERIOD, GENERATION, NAME, STARTPERIOD, TERRITORYSEQ
VALUES
REC.BUSINESSUNITSEQ, REC.COMPELEMENTLIFETIMEID, REC.COMPONENTIMAGE, REC.DESCRIPTION, REC.ENDPERIOD, REC.GENERATION, REC.NAME,
REC.STARTPERIOD, REC.TERRITORYSEQ
END LOOP;
END;

Problems with reference field in material type

Hi,
I have problem with field reference in material type creation.
When I define a self-defined field reference ZERS (copy of standard field reference HERS) for a own defined material type ZERS (copy of material type HERS), I get the following error message:
Field reference ZERS has not been set up
Message no. CZ127
Diagnosis
You have specified a field reference that has not been set up.
Procedure
Set up the new field reference or use an already existing field reference.
I do not understand why because the entry ZERS is present in table T130A.
Here is the IMG config I have made:
1. Logistics general->Material Master->Field selection->Maintain field selection for Data Screens (here I made copy of field reference HERS and named it ZERS)
2. Logistics general->Material Master->Basic Settings->Material types->Define attributes of Material types (here I made a copy of material type HERS and named it ZERS. I then tried to set the field T134-FLREF "Field reference" to ZERS, but then the error message appears)
Does anyone know what config I am missing?
Or any reason why the error message CZ127 is coming up?
Thanks

Must have been system error, I deleted all entries and did it all over again, it worked.

How to sort index_by pl/sql tables data in Oracle 9i Release 9.2.0.1.0 ?

Hi all,
I have populated an index_by binary_integer pl/sql table :
declare
type rec_ty is record(ligne number,code_enreg number(2),code_enreg_ordered number(2));
     type tab_ty is table of rec_ty index by binary_integer;
     vtab tab_ty;
     i pls_integer := 1;
begin
for venreg in(select * from fichier_tempo where num > 0 order by num) loop
          vtab(i).ligne := venreg.num;
          vtab(i).code_enreg := to_number(substr(venreg.texte,7,2));
          i := i + 1;
     end loop;
end;
Now I want to sort the code_enreg data of vtab into its code_enreg_ordered field. I must do that because I must verify that each code_enreg data entered are ordered. So if code_enreg is not equal to code_enreg_ordered at a specified index of vtab then I must take a decision in my program code ; I must code something when this disorder happens.
How to do that ?
Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you Jeneesh , it works with a few modifications about the assignement of the pl/sql tables.
Fantasy > Your blog talks about sorting the pl/sql table through the key. But I want to sort it through the field data. And my field data contains duplicated data. So you did not really reply to my need. Thank you anymore.

Problems with PL/SQL packages

Hello,
I face the following problem with PL/SQL stored procedures. The Oracle
version is 8.0.5 on Windows NT 4. The PL/SQL package has a set of procedures and functions.
The main procedure of the PL/SQL package is triggered from VC++ executable. If for some reason,
an exception is caught in the stored procedure (like no_data_found
exception), then the following problem occurs.
If we try to trigger the stored procedure again through the VC++ executable,
the variables in the stored procedures have the values as in the previous
execution. They are not getting initialised. (The same database connection
is used in VC++ executable).
Currently, only if a new connection to the database is used , the problem is
solved.
Also, change in the input parameters of the procedure is not reflected, once the procedure fails because of any exception. Only the input which was given during the time of execution when the procedure failed,is considered.
What could be the reason for this problem and how can this be corrected?
Please send in your suggestions.
Thanks and Regards,
Ramya Priya

Hi Keith,
I am connecting to the database as the package owner..
I have noticed earlier that I have problems when capturing triggers also.. The content of one large trigger contains 36371 characters and when capturing it from DB, the content was truncated to 28020 characters in Designer.
Our ideas with capturing the DB packages/procedures were to use the Designer as version control system.
We wanted to have all objects used in a project in Designer.. entities, tables, triggers, packages, procedures, Forms files, etc. in order to make a configuration for a project release.
Thank you,
Claudia

Does anybody have the same problem like this? I've used the same method in my previous project to create oracle.jbo.domain.Date with current time using java.sql.Timestamp, but I don't know why this error happened.
Thx,

IT0041 - employee with more than 12 date types;

Has anyone had an instance where an employee has had more than 12 valid Date Types on IT0041? If so, how did you enter their 13th date type? We have just created our 12th date type in the table and we will probably be creating a 13th date type in the near future. We have a number of employees who already use 11 date types and could use the 2 new ones as well. I tried to create a new Subtype for my new Date Type - but the new Subtype requires that Date Type 01 be entered. I am not comfortable with having two identical Date Type 01s in IT0041 (one on Subtype 0001 and one on Subtype 0098).
Has anyone used more than one Subtype on IT0041?

Thank you for your responses. I don't think changing the Time Constraint class is the best solution for our organization. We did look at that option. I don't want to have multiple valid records; I want the ability to have more than 12 date types (values) on one record. Also, if we allow more than one record, SAP forces us to have Date Type 01 on both valid records - I would be concerned that these values may not match, and then Time Eval would bomb.
I'm also still curious if anyone has used more than one Subtype on IT0041? Again, we did try this, but SAP forces a Date Type 01 on both Subtypes.
