Browser bug for package procedure named "delete"

One should not use a reserved word when naming stored procedures, but while Oracle allows one to create a packaged procedure or function named "delete" (at least in 9.2 through 11.2), an object so named prevents the object browser and outline window from properly displaying all procedure and function names.
Test case:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE my_pk
AS
PROCEDURE delete;
PROCEDURE p;
END my_pk;
The object browser shows the word "PROCEDURE" but not any of the procedure names.

Hi Doug,
Thanks for reporting this issue. I logged a bug for it:
Bug 14474608 - FORUM - USING DELETE AS PACKAGE PROCEDURE NAME, NAV TREE RENDERS IMPROPERLY
Also note that using something like "PROCEDURE delete(key NUMBER);" prevents any member nodes from showing in the package's tree. Many other "reserved words" like select, create, insert result in compilation failure in both SQL*Plus and SQL Developer, but apparently your case should work.
Regards.

Idea for package/procedure/function distribution ??

Hi all
We have multilple databases (10.2.0.3). And we have a lot of "utility" packages for both appl. util and for DBA utils.
We have created a XXXUTIL schema on each database.
How do we keep those schemas in sync automatically - apart from doing export/import? We will name on "master" and all other should be in sync with this one schema (packages/procedures/functions/views)
Is there a smarter way of doing this, a pull or push replication solotiuon. We are on the 10g Enterprise verison.
Ideas appreciated
best regards
Mette

Hi,
As you said you got a lot of utility Packages, I think you can directly compile those scripts one you changed in the master DB, there won't be any thing to Sync the Procedures from One DB to another DB.
If it is a data then, you might gone for DB Link, Streams etc., for replicating the data.
In order to automate your need to write a script for logging into DB and running set of scripts and disconnecting - a shell script.
Just think is that your requirement.!!

Synonyms for packaged procedures

Heres something that is currently bothering me.
Why are we not allowed to create synonyms for procedures and functions within packages ?
Our database has too many individual procedures and functions for my liking and I would like to move some of them into packages. Consequently I want to create synonyms to avoid changing application code.
I have found metalink note 1061643.6 which confirms this cannot be done, but it also goes on to say:
"Oracle does this using the STANDARD package with overloaded functions and procedures such as TO_CHAR() and TO_DATE(), but how Oracle does this is proprietary information and is not available to the public."
(Thanks Oracle)

The basic reason for this restriction is that the Oracle synonyms are alternative names only for database objects, not for PL/SQL objects like packaged function and procedures.
But moving stored procedures/functions to packages is a good idea, recommended by all the experts, with many benefits for you in the future.
There is a simple solution for you problem, with very little impact on the continuity or performance of your applications:
1. Copy the code of the DB stored procedures and functions to PL/SQL packages, mirroring them into packages subprograms.
2. Replace the body of the DB procedures and functions with plain calls to their packages equivalents, transforming them effectively into wrappers behaving like synonyms.
3. Change gradually the code of the application to call directly the packages functions and procedures
4. When the change is completed, delete the wrappers.
BTW If Oracle does not support a feature, than you it's better not to use it. Modifying the STANDARD package or using some volatile, undocumented features is not a clever move...

DB Link for packages/procedures

Hello,
Can I use use a dblink to invoke a procedure? If yes is it same same as workibg with a table using dblink?

Hello Robert,
It sounds exciting. Can you telll me the syntax for Pro*C. because I have people who are trying to do the same using Delphi and I believe what works for Pro*C should work for Delphi as well.
Please do let me know.

Serialized access for package compilation

hi all,
Especially for development environments i strongly need a concurrency mechanism for package, procedure, function, trigger compilation. I want to lock package, so that no one else can compile while i hold that lock. This will provide serialized access.
Mostly developers use same database user for development, so grant will not do what i want. I assume there has to be a custom solution, ie using dbms_lock.
Any help will be appreciated.

Goman how are you, world is so little these days :)

How to know (package , procedures or functions) name for current sessions

Hi all
I'm DBA and i want to find way to get object name whatever (package , procedures or functions) for current running statement in active session.
To clarify when i open session browser from toad i can see active sessions and see current statement for every session but without the name of the object.
Is there any way to know this point.

Naming convention for packages and classes

Hi all,
Is there any naming conventions for packages and classes which uses a design pattern ?. If yes what are the conventions used for business delegate,session facade, service locator,DAO and any other patterns.
rgds
Anto Paul

Hi,
that is a good question and one we have considered also. We dont yet cover the naming conventions for classes based on patterns but maybe will in the future. Currently, in the blueprints apps we tend to do some things like naminga class
-AccountDAO etc for DAOs
-For servicelocator we have a class called ServiceLocator viewable at https://adventurebuilder.dev.java.net/source/browse/adventurebuilder/ws/components/servicelocator/src/java/com/sun/j2ee/blueprints/servicelocator/web/ServiceLocator.java?rev=1.4&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
-for session facade, its a bit trickier since the name is so long and we cant add "SessionFacade" to the end of each facade class. I think in general we put "Facade" in the name, usually near the end
-For Business Delegat, again it seems too long to add to each class name. So in the past we have added
a "BD" to the names of the delegates. Some examples are at http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/BusinessDelegate.html
-For transfer objects we usually add a TO to the end of the name. Some examples at http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/TransferObject.html
Seems like something we could get a bit more consistent about.
hope that helps,
Sean

No packages, procedures and functions in Schema Browser

Hi there,
SQL Developer 2.1 Early Adopter 2:
For Databases below 10g in Schema Browser no packages, procedures and functions are visible (no entries under these nodes).
All other objects are shown correctly.
Is this a known issue?

942: error when trying to browse/refresh Packages, Procedures and Functions

Hi,
I'm using OSD 1.1 against 10g.
I can create and compile functions in a certain schema but when I try to browse the Functions node I get "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist." and the node does not expand.
The same thing happens with the Packages and Procedures nodes.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Mike

I've got the same problem with SQL Developer 1.1.0.23.64 against 9.2.0.4.0 and 10.1.0.4.0. This error occured only for a few package/procedure/function owners. I've found that these owners have SELECT ANY TABLE system privilege. In such case SQL Developer generates following SELECT:
SELECT OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_ID, DECODE(STATUS, 'INVALID', 'TRUE', 'FALSE') INVALID, 'TRUE' runnable, NVL( b.HAS_BODY, 'FALSE') HAS_BODY
FROM SYS.DBA_OBJECTS a,
(SELECT 'TRUE' HAS_BODY, object_name tmp_name FROM SYS.DBA_OBJECTS WHERE OWNER = :SCHEMA AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'PACKAGE BODY') b
WHERE OWNER = :SCHEMA
AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'PACKAGE'
AND object_name = tmp_name (+)
AND SUBOBJECT_NAME IS NULL
AND OBJECT_ID NOT IN ( SELECT PURGE_OBJECT FROM RECYCLEBIN )
Otherwise it generates
SELECT OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_ID, DECODE(STATUS, 'INVALID', 'TRUE', 'FALSE') INVALID, 'TRUE' runnable, NVL( b.HAS_BODY, 'FALSE') HAS_BODY
FROM SYS.ALL_OBJECTS a,
(SELECT 'TRUE' HAS_BODY, object_name tmp_name FROM SYS.ALL_OBJECTS WHERE OWNER = :SCHEMA AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'PACKAGE BODY') b
WHERE OWNER = :SCHEMA
AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'PACKAGE'
AND object_name = tmp_name (+)
AND SUBOBJECT_NAME IS NULL
AND OBJECT_ID NOT IN ( SELECT PURGE_OBJECT FROM RECYCLEBIN )
Both for 10g.
So you could try to grant SELECT on DBA_OBJECTS to owner of your functions.
I don't know why SQL Developer doesn't SELECT from ALL_OBJECTS in all cases.

You will need grant SELECT on DBA_SOURCE, too.

Counting the number of lines for each procedure in a package

Hi,
I would like to write a query on USER_SOURCE that can display the number of code lines for each procedure/function in a package.
Is it possible to write such a query? Maybe by using analytical functions?
for example in the following example i would like to count the lines between "PROCEDURE proc1 IS" and "END proc1;" and between "PROCEDURE proc2 IS" and "END proc2;"
SQL> select text from user_source where name='PKG_TEST' and type='PACKAGE BODY';
TEXT
PACKAGE BODY PKG_TEST IS
PROCEDURE proc1 IS
BEGIN
    update t1 set EDITION_NAME = 'AAAAAAA';
    commit;
END proc1;
PROCEDURE proc2 IS
BEGIN
   update t1 set EDITION_NAME = 'AAAAAAA';
    commit;
END proc2;
END PKG_TEST;thanks for helping

Hopefully some idiot manager isn't trying to use this sort of thing to base their decisions on developer productivity. If so, they ARE idiots. Number of code lines NEVER, EVER, EVER!!! translates into an efficient application. If I were paid by the line, my code would look like:

Based on the idiocy of this method of determining "performance" I would get paid $5.00 at $1.00/line.
