Calling a procedure by passing array

hi al i have written the following procedure.... the procedure will be passed an array of phone numbers .
th procedure backups all the phone numbers to a backup table and deletes them in the main table.
question is how to call this procedure to test if it is working.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE HR.delete_phn_records_from_db( p_array in PHN_TAB ) IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO phones_bkp(SELECT * FROM phones WHERE phone_type(ph_no) Member Of p_array);
DELETE FROM phones where phone_type(ph_no) Member Of p_array;
commit;
END delete_phn_records_from_db;
PHN_TAB is defined as follows
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE HR.PHONE_TYPE AS OBJECT
PHN_NUM NUMBER
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE HR.PHN_TAB AS TABLE OF PHONE_TYPE
regards
raj

I got it
DECLARE
P_ARRAY PHN_TAB;
BEGIN
P_ARRAY := phn_tab(phone_type(6),phone_type(7),phone_type(8));
HR.DELETE_PHN_RECORDS_FROM_DB ( P_ARRAY );
COMMIT;
END;
thanks and regards

Two related questions: using htmldb_Get to call stored procedure and passing in an array of items

I have the need to save dynamically generated ApEx items via AJAX. I am using APEX_ITEM API to generate the items. At run-time, I have no idea how many of items will be generated on the page, but I know that they will all have discreet and distinct "name" attributes, i.e. f01, f02, f03, etc. As a basic example, if I have to generate a select list, I know that the "p_idx" parameter of the APEX_ITEM call is say "3", so all select lists that get generated will have a "name" attribute in the DOM of "f03", all text items will be "f01", etc.
I want to save this data to the database via AJAX. It is typical to call the standard htmldb_Get javascript function for use of an on-demand process, but I am interested in using the rarely-called-upon "procedure" and queryString" options of that javascript function so that I can build the queryString on the fly based on what is on the DOM when the tries to save the data they entered into these APEX_ITEM-generated items. Does anyone have any good examples of how to use the "procedure" and "queryString" parameters of the htmldb_Get javascript function?
I have found a smattering of some blogs, posts, etc. online related to this, but mostly just people regurgitating the documentation. I found this post (https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2549237) which had a glimpse of hope to be able to pass an array (which is something I will need) as a parameter, but would like someone to sanity check this before I go down that road.

ApEx 4.2.1

Shane
Since you mention you are on APEX 4.2 I would recommend using apex.server.process which is the documented replacement of the officially undocumented htmldb_Get.
In the documentation it is set that the first parameter is the ajaxidentifier but it actually is the process name.
The data object would be something like
var lData ={f01 : get_value_array('f01')}
Where get_value_array is
function get_value_array(pColumnName) {
var l_values =[];
apex.jQuery('[name="'+pColumnName+'"]').each(
   function(){
    var l_value;
    l_value = apex.item(this.id).getValue();
    l_values.push(l_value);
return l_values
For a working example see this demo.

Calling a Procedure which has Array of Objects as arguments (from BPEL)

Hi,
I wanted to pass multiple records as arguments to a stored procedure from BPEL.
We created stored procedure which takes array of Objects as arguments. I invoked it from BPEL. It was successfully compiled and deployed.
At runtime it is throwing following error.

Call stored procedure in JDBC passing Array parameters

Hi all,
Im trying to call an Oracle Stored Procedure with JDBC. The problem is
that my parameter is an Array (PL/SQL Type is "Table Of").
How can i call this procedure by passing right Java parameters to
the Callable statement ??
In the Documentation, all samples don't work ! it's possible to
call a procedure that return Array Type but when we need to pass an Array as
a parameter we have a DataType exception.
Any idea ?
thanx in advance
Sam.

Hi Sam,
I don't have an answer to your question, just some suggestions as to
where else you may find help.
Do you know about the "Ask Tom" website:
http://asktom.oracle.com
Also, you may find something in the comp.databases.oracle.* newsgroups:
http://groups.google.com
I found this article there -- but it's not exactly what you're looking
for:

Calling a procedure from within a trigger

Hi,
I have a table (table1) which when a row is inserted into this table I need to populate a number of tables based upon gathering information from multiple tables using three fields passed in from table 1.
I therefore proposed to create a before insert trigger on table1 calling a procedure which passes in the three new values as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trigger1
BEFORE INSERT ON table1
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
package1.populate_tables(:new.col1, :new.col2, :new.col3) ;
END;
This compiles fine, but when I actually insert data in table1 then I receive the following message and do not know how to get round it:
ORA-04091: table table1 is mutating, trigger/function may not see it.
I am using other fields in table1 to insert values into other tables (confusing I know).
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it, or if you require any more information I would be very happy to provide it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You triggered in fired on table and you procedure in acting is on the same table which rasing the exception.

Calling Stored procedure from portal report

I have a simple portal report. ie.
select empname
from emp
where dept = :dept
The users can customize the portlet and change the value of the bind variable (:dept).
On the Additional PL/SQL section of the report I need to call a procedure and
pass the value of the bind variable. Since the portlet is not being called from
another, p_arg_names and p_arg_values will not give me anything. In the above example I would
need to pass the value of ":dept" to the procedure. How do I get the value?

Hi,
Have you tried the 'get_value' function?..The syntax is
declare
l_dept number(5);
begin
l_dept := get_value('dept');
/* further process */
end;
where 'dept' is name of the bind variable.

Send SQL query or call stored procedure, which is best???

hello experts!!
i would like to ask what will be the best implementation on querying a database using Java, send a SQL query(insert into table values...) or call stored procedure(just pass parameters)?? and also in stored procedure does "autoCommit/rollback" applies/make sense??

I searched google for this:
Stored Procedures vs. SQL
and found this useful link:
http://www.karlkatzke.com/stored-procedures-vs-sql-calls/
I thiink you should also read up on other articles based on such google searches
to get other opinions. Also, read the links provided by that article.
Personnally, I think stored procedures should be avoided unless there is a definite
advantage as specified in the above article. Especially not used for CRUD operations.
Also, no matter where you put the SQL, it should be documented. I've seen too many stored procedures that aren't documented.

Passing array of objects from java to oracle.

Hi,
We have the following structure in oracle.
We have a nested table type of varchar2(50).
type var_tab is table of varchar2(50);
We have one object type with one member as varchar2 and another one as var_tab type.
type attribute_obj is object(
attrib_name varchar2(100)
,attrib_val var_tab
Then we have table type of that object type,
type table_tab is table of attribute_obj;
Then we have one object type with one member as varchar2,another member as integer and another one as table_tab type.
type prod_obj is object(
pr_name varchar2(100), tb_flag integer
,pr_attrib table_tab
Then we have table type of this object type,
type prod_tab as table of prod_obj;
So, the total structure is something like this;
'OS','OS_NAME', 'Windows'
'Linux'
'UNIX'
'OS_VERSION','XP'
'RED HAT'
'SOLARIS'
so, basically we have
x prod_tab:=prod_tab();
x(3):=prod_obj('OS',0,table_tab(attribute_obj('OS_NAME',var_tab('Windows','Linux','UNIX')),attribute_obj('OS_VERSION','XP','RED HAT','SOLARIS'))));
And this how we call the procedure ---
all_prod_comb_pkg.sp_main(x)
The procedure deifinition is -
procedure sp_main ( p_prod_arr prod_tab);
Please suggest a way so that we can implement the same structure in Java and then call the procedure using that array of objects.
regards,
Dipankar.

Dipankar,
There's a separate example of how to map Oracle OBJECTs to JDBC STRUCTs.
Study that one and combine the two. Not difficult (in my opinion :-)
Or search the JDBC forum for the words "STRUCT" and "ARRAY".
(What, you want me to do your coding for you?)
Good Luck,
Avi.

Calling a procedure dynamically in forms

Hi all
I'm using Oracle 6, is there anyway to call a procedure dynamically, i mean the procedure called differs according to a certain condition. The procedure is local in the form not in the database, how can this be achieved
Thanks

Hello,

what i want is as the following
IF cond = 1 THEN

.................. so onWell, i think the way you are showing with IF CONDITION is smart enough to call the procedures. And it will be also easy to understand.
I'm searching for a way to call the procedure as follows
proc||cond for exampleBut why? What is the purpose to do like this? Any efficiency or any logical reason?
Another option You can create one procedure and call the code depend on parameter you pass like
PROCEDURE MY_PROC(pCond IN NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
IF pCond=1 THEN
    -- Do something here...
ELSIF pCond=2 THEN
   -- Do something here...
ELSE
   -- Do something here...
END IF;
END;And while calling the procedure you can call the procedure by passing the value of pCond upon your requirement like
MY_PROC(<parameter value>);But still the IF CONDITION exists either you use inside or outside the procedure.

Passing Array of Srings between Visual Basic and Labview dll

I have searched and searched for the correct way to pass an array of
strings between Visual Basic 6.0 and a Labview 7 dll. So far, I still
do not know how to pass the array. When I create the dll in LV, the
array of strings is presented as a string, not an array. I am familiar
with passing arrays of type double, but I really need to know how to
pass an array of strings. Any and all help is appreciated.
Bob

Hey Bob,
From what I understand, that can get kind of messy. You have to allocate the memory in VB in the format that LabVIEW expects (see the externalcode.h file in National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0\cintools for details). Then pass a pointer to that location to LabVIEW. There are a couple of related examples online. They don't necessarily show how to pass an array of strings to VB, but they should show how to pass a string and an array. I hope this helps.

URGENT: Passing Array from JSP to a Stored Procedure

Hi,
Can some one please help me understanding how can I pass array from JSP page to a stored procedure in database.
Thanks in advance.
Jatinder

Thanks.
I tried ArrayExampla.java and was successful in passing array values to the stored database procedure.
How can I use this class in JSP? Like I have first JSP where in I will collect input from the user and then submit it to the second JSP - that needs to call the ArrayExample.java to pass the values as array to the database.
How should I call this java code in my second JSP?
Thanks in advance.

Pass array to oracle stored procedure

I have such a problem: I have to pass array to stored procedure, so I declare type:
create type tNumberArray as table of number
and create procedure:
create or replace procedure proc_1 (in_param in tNumberArray) as
.... BODY OF PROCEDURE ...
when I call this procedure from C# like this:
int []pParam = new int[3] {1,2,3};
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("proc_1", dbConn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
OracleParameter param14 = new OracleParameter("param", OracleDbType.Decimal);
param14.Value = pParam;
param14.CollectionType = OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray;
param14.Size = 3;
param14.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
cmd.Parameters.Add(param14);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
an error occures. It say that there invalid number or type of parameters.
But when I declare both type and procedure in a package everything goes fine.
What is the matter? Did anybody have the same problem?

Not I got next problem:
when I cannot pass parameter to stored procedure and get array fro it. In other words returning array from procedure and passing some input parameters to it does not word!
Does anybody know why it happens?

Passing arrays to procedure

How can i pass arrays in a procedure as IN parameter
for eg.
If I have a procedure which takes an input login id and a input status
     procedure test(loginId IN varchar, status IN varchar)
     -- the procedure does insert and update using the input login id and input status
Now, suppose i have a bunch of input login ids and a bunch of status, how can i pass the login id and status values as an array to the procedure instead of calling the procedure in a loop?

This is best done using an object type and collection type, so you can make use of bulk SQL to perform the DML. I've given a short demo below:-
First your target table...
SQL> create table my_table ( id number, status varchar2(1) );
Table created.Now we create an object type ( this defines the record structure for your parameter ). We then create a nested table type (collection) based on this record structure:-
SQL> create type login_record_ot as object
2 ( id     number
3 , status varchar2(1)
4 );
5 /
Type created.
SQL> create type login_records_ntt as table of login_record_ot;
2 /
Type created.Now a demo package with a procedure to insert the input collection into the target table. This uses the TABLE expression ( combined with CAST just in case you are on 8i )...
SQL> create package pkg as
2     procedure insert_records (
3               login_records_in in login_records_ntt
4               );
5 end pkg;
6 /
Package created.
SQL> create package body pkg as
2
3     procedure insert_records (
4               login_records_in in login_records_ntt
5               ) is
6     begin
7        insert into my_table ( id, status )
8        select x.id
9        ,      x.status
10        from   table( cast( login_records_in as login_records_ntt )) x;
11        dbms_output.put_line( sql%rowcount || ' rows inserted.' );
12     end insert_records;
13
14 end pkg;
15 /
Package body created.Now to use it. I'll load a dummy variable with a collection of IDs/statuses and pass them to the pkg.insert_records procedure...
SQL> declare
2     some_records login_records_ntt := login_records_ntt(
3                                          login_record_ot( 1, 'X' ),
4                                          login_record_ot( 2, 'Y' ),
5                                          login_record_ot( 3, 'Z' ),
6                                          login_record_ot( 4, 'A' ),
7                                          login_record_ot( 5, 'B' )
8                                          );

Passing ARRAY object to stored procedure problem

I've created a stored procedure that accepts as a parameter a
database type
that I have defined as a VARRAY. (create type XXX)
When I attempt to pass an ARRAY object to this stored procedure
through JDBC
(Thin-client driver) I recieve the Oracle internal error ORA-
00600 and the
first "parameter" is [12760].
Has anyone else attempted the same sort of thing w/ success?
I am including the Java source code to help the investigation
private void chad(int[] railcarIds) throws NonFatalDBException,
FatalDBException {
CallableStatement theStatement = null;
try {
theStatement = this.getDatabaseConnection().prepareCall("{call
RomsRepairPackage.chad(?)} ");
// create an ARRAY object to send to the procedure
ArrayDescriptor ad =
ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("RAILCARIDVARRAYTYPE",
this.getDatabaseConnection());
ARRAY theArray = new ARRAY(ad, this.getDatabaseConnection(),
