Calling a function from SQL prompt that returns a record

Hi,
I've been trying to execute a function that is present on a different database. for eg. I am loged on to a database say 'A' and trying to execute a function present in database 'B'. this function is present in a package 'X' which has 2 functions and two procedures. From the packages i am able to execute the two procedures and one of the function.
So i guess it is not a problem with the access permissions. The function that i am trying to call say function I has got 3 OUT
parameters and 1 IN parameter. the Function returns a record. When i try to execute this function i get an error. Can you please let me know as to how exactly i need to call this function from the SQL prompt...
thanx in advance

Hi Anand,
As your function has 3 OUT parameters and it returns a record you can not just call it from SQL Plus. You need to write small PL/SQL program and use variables to hold the OUT values and the returned record.
Good Luck,

How to use function inPL/SQL prompt?

How can i use function?
In PL/SQL prompt.
suppose, only by typing this,
functionname(parameter);
And it will return answer in PL/SQL prompt.
Is there any syntax or solution to this not in using it in another block of code and calling this function?

My sql client version is 9.2.0.1.0. and my data base version is 10.2.0.2.0.
Please advice.

Could you post the exception handler within the function.
It sounds like you return -1 if you experience an error - it would be easier to determine the cause of the problem if you return the Oracle error details, E.g:
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN dbms_utility.format_error_backtrace;This will then return a meaningful error, identifying exactly what is causing the error to be generated.

Calling a function with sql

Hi all, i have the following function..........
create or replace function proj_budget_importance
(p_budget in NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS proj_importance NUMBER (8,2);
BEGIN
IF p_budget > 250000 THEN
proj_importance := 'High';
ELSIF p_budget <250000 THEN
proj_importance := 'Normal';
END IF;
RETURN proj_importance;

but i dont know how to call it in the sql query :-(
SELECT proj_id,
proj_name,
proj_budget,

can someone show me please TA!!

Your function is invalid:
proj_importance NUMBER (8,2);

IF p_budget > 250000 THEN
proj_importance := 'High';
ELSIF p_budget <250000 THEN
proj_importance := 'Normal';
END IF;
RETURN proj_importance;
END;
and never run :).
create or replace function proj_budget_importance
(p_budget in NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS proj_importance Varchar2(32);
BEGIN
IF p_budget > 250000 THEN
proj_importance := 'High';

John,
I think moifying the statement
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "OGUSER"."OGX1" (user_county in integer, user_permit in integer )
TO
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "OGUSER"."OGX1" (user_county in integer, user_permit in integer ) return NUMBER is
AND before end you will have to add a return statement
(Probably
return 0;
exception
when others then
return 1;
end;
This will change your procedure to a function but I am not sure you'll be able to see your dbms_output's, if you call the function using select ...

Thanks in advance.If the function is performing DDL, commit or rollback inside it then you will not be able to call it from an SQL statement.
Either change the function so it doesn't perform DDL, commit or rollback, or use a different means to obtain the information you want (assuming you can't change the function)

Call external function from SQL query

Hi,
I am new to PL/SQL programming.I don't think this is possible but please let me know if there is a way to achieve this. I have a function written in VB.net and I would want to call from the query.
create table temp as select id, callvbfunction(note_text) from temp2
Here callvbfunction is the vb.net function.I need to pass note_text field value to the function.
Thanks..

Yes it is possible.
No idea how to specifically call a .Net function (from Oracle) as I do not do Windows (except for playing games ;-) ). But external procedures (extproc) and Java stored procs can be wrapped by PL/SQL wrapper functions and used in SQL statements.

Calling a function from SQL that has Out Parameters

Hello folks,
I am not sure if this is do-able, but here is my scenrio at hand. I have a database function that accepts a few IN parameters and OUT parameters. I want one of the Out parameters to display as part of my select statement. Is this possible?
Thanks

No you cannot use a function with out parameters in sql statements.
If possible make the function return that value, then use it in select.( imean instead of OUT parameter, get that OUT parameter through RETURN)

Calling Function in SQL Server through DBLINK

Hello
I need to call a function that exists in other database (*SQL Server*) through DBLINK
Is It possible? If yes, please give me the syntax
Thanks

Hi,
You can call remote functions on SQL*Server if you create the database link using the Database Gateway for SQL*Server (DG4MSQL).
You need to install and configure DG4MSQL then you can call remote functions as follows -
SELECT function1@Remote_DB(7782) FROM dual;
You need to set the parameter -
HS_CALL_NAME
in the DG4MSQL init<sid>.ora file with the owner and name of the function, for example -
HS_CALL_NAME = "owner1.function1, owner2.function2 "
and if you want to return values using the function you need to set the parameter in the gateway init file -
HS_FDS_PROC_IS_FUNC=TRUE
For full details you need to refer to the documentation -
Oracle® Database Gateway for SQL Server User’s Guide, 11g Release 2 (11.2)
Oracle® Database Heterogeneous Connectivity User’s Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2)
which is available from -
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage
and click on the 'Integration Information' option on the left.
The documentation has further details on how to call and use remote functions.
For information about installing and configuring the gateway and links to further information have a look at the following note -
Note.1083703.1 Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products
available in My Oracle Support
You cannot use the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) to create the database link as it does not supported stored procedures or remote functions.

Mike

Calling Function in SQL

Hi,
I wrote a function like below:
create or replace function test_ref_cur
return sys_refcursor is

begin
open l_ref_cur for
select 'Tom' ename from dual
union
select 'John' from dual
union
select 'Jim' from dual;
return l_ref_cur;
end;
When I call this function in Sql: Select test_ref_cur from dual; it returns 1 row as below
Test_REF_CURSOR
(CURSOR)
I can see the data only when I double click on (CURSOR).
Is there a way to show the data directly in the result window: like
Ename
Jim
Tim
John

The reason your result is showing "(CURSOR)" (I assume you're using SQL Developer or TOAD) is that the returned result is a cursor, not a set of data. Only when you double click on it, will it actually use that cursor to fetch the data back.
For more understanding, read the following article...

Calling user function from Interface mapping

You have 2 types of calls. SQL and PL/SQL.
To call a function via SQL, it can be done using a the standard cursor interface. E.g.
select MyFunkyFunction from dualIt will return the function value via a single row with a single column. The standard cursor fetch and close cursor calls are used.
To call it via PL/SQL, an anonymous PL/SQL block is needed, and the caller needs to use a bind variable to receive the value from the function. The anon block will look as follows:
begin
:bindVar := MyFunkyFunction;
end;Refer to your client's abstract layer for interfacing with the Oracle Call Interface, on how to deal with bind variables.
