Calling C functions from PL/SQL. (without OCI )

hi all,
We are trying to call and external C routine (stored in a .so file) from a PL/SQL procedure.
The error obtained is ORA-28576 ( which occurs after connection to the external routine has been established successfully.)
, which states that the problem may lie in:
a) Abnormal Termination of external C routine.(i.e a case of coredump, memory fault etc).
b) Network Problems.
c) Internal Logic Error in the RPC transfer code.
We tried calling the C .so functions from a C executable and it is working fine. Also there doesn't appear to a problem in the network connections too.....
The environment we are working on is Digital Unix 4.0 F. and we are using Oracle 8.0.6
Please advise,
Krishnan

There have been reported problems with specific compiler versions. Check with oracle as see if there is a specific compiler version number you need for a specific database release.

Call javascript functions from PL/SQL

Hi !
I just want to know if it is possible to call a javascript function from a PL/SQL procedure. If yes, anybody can explain me the syntax ?
Thanks
Chantale

You can call Java Script - kind of.
PL/SQL has a "web browser" called UTL_HTTP. It allows you to make HTTP calls to a web server. This includes a function that can be used from SQL too (with a size limitation).
Example:
SQL> select UTL_HTTP.Request( 'http://some-web-server' ) as HTML_PAGE from dual;
HTML_PAGE
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1;URL=http:/some-web-server:7777/index">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<img src="images/Wave.gif">
Redirecting.. please standby..
<hr>
</html>
SQL>The call to the web browser can be to execute and load, for example, a JSP page.
However, if the page containts client-side Java script, i.e. code for the web browser to execute, than UTL_HTTP will merely return the contents & code of that page.
Client-side Java Script requires an engine in the browser. The JS language is used to manipulate the rendering engine of the browser.
The PL/SQL "web browser" does not have a display device to show a web page. Thus it is without a web browser rendering engine and therefore also cannot execute Java Script either.

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
null

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,

Calling function from PL/SQL block

Hi,
A very simple question.
A have a function called "test1" in my database. It is there i double chekked.
I would like to call this function from a block:
DECLARE
BEGIN
TEST1(1202);
END;
This gives me an error.
Why is this?

Why is this?Hello
A very very basic thing to do when you get an error is to include details of it. That helps narrow it down from one of the 1000s of potential Oracle errors it could be.
Anyway, a function returns a value, and in PL/SQL you need to capture that otherwise you'll get "an error". Modify your code like so
DECLARE
l_Test1Val VARCHAR2(4000); --CHANGE THIS TO BE THE SAME AS THE RETURN TYPE FOR YOUR FUNCTION
BEGIN
l_Test1Val := TEST1(1202);
END;HTH

Calling user function from Interface mapping

I am getting error "Bad query:ORA-00904: invalid identifier" while calling function in the mapping of an interface.
Can some one provide the syntax of calling user function from interface mapping.
Thanks,
RP

user452108 wrote:

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.

How to call a function with pl/sql

How does one call a function with pl/sql that uses a function?

Hi,
How does one call a function with pl/sql that uses a
function?I'm not sure what you mean.
In PL/SQL function can be used just about anywhere where an expression (with the same data type that the function returns). Arpit gave a very common example.
Here's another example, where all the functions take a single NUMBER argument and return a NUMBER, so they can all be used in places where NUMBERs are used:
IF fun_a (fun_b (0)) < fun_c (1)
THEN
    UPDATE table_x
    SET     column_y = fun_d (2)
    WHERE   column_z = fun_e (ROUND ((fun_f (3), fun_g (4)));You call a function simply by using its name, followed by its argument list, if any.
If the function is in a package, you must call it with the package name, like "pk_foo.bar (1, 2, 3)", unless the call comes from within the same package.
If the function is owned by someone else, you must give the owner name, like "scott.bar (SYSDATE)" or "scott.pk_foo.bar (1, 2, 3)". You can create synonyms to avoid having to name the owner.

How to call oracle function from ejb3

i'm trying to call an oracle query-function from ejb3.
The oracle function:
create or replace FUNCTION getSecThreadCount(secId in NUMBER,avai in NUMBER)
RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR is cur SYS_REFCURSOR;
m_sql VARCHAR2(250);
BEGIN
m_sql:='select count(thrId) from thread where secId='|| secid||'
and thrAvai='|| avai;
open cur for m_sql;
return cur;
END;
I'v tried several ways to call it,but all failed:
1. the calling code:
public Object getSectionThreadCount(int secId,int avai){
          Query query=manager.createNativeQuery("{call getSecThreadCount(?,?) }");
          query.setParameter(1, secId);
          query.setParameter(2, avai);
          return query.getSingleResult();
but i got the exception:

2. the calling code:
@SqlResultSetMapping(name = "getSecThreadCount_Mapping")
@NamedNativeQuery(name = "getSecThreadCount",
query = "{?=call getSecThreadCount(:secId,:avai)}",
resultSetMapping = "getSecThreadCount_Mapping",

          Query query=manager.createNamedQuery("getSecThreadCount");
          query.setParameter("secId", secId);
          query.setParameter("avai", avai);
          return query.getSingleResult();
but i run into the exception:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: lost in index IN or OUT parameter:: 3
By the way, i have successfully called the function from hibernate. And i use oracle 11g, JBoss5 RC1.
Could anyone tell me how to call the function from EJB3?
Thanks.

}Basically you just ignore the refcursor outbound parameter.
This is a stored function, have yet to try outbound refcursor parameters in stored procedures...

Hello,
a package is provided : srwAPIins.sql installs the Event-Driven Publishing API.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_evnt.htm
The Event-Driven Publishing API is a PL/SQL package that provides the basic functions required for the development of procedures that respond to events in the database. Event-driven jobs are submitted using the HTTP protocol. The server assigns a unique job_ident record to every call, useful for tracking the status of the job.

How to call a function from asp

set rs = server.createobject("Adodb.recordset")
rs.open "call dbo.sf_Obt_Des_Producto ('0000161')",Conn
if err.description <> "" then
response.write ("No se pudo! :(")
else
response.write ("rs: " & rs(0))
end if
rs.close
set rs = nothing
but there is an error:
ORA-06576: not a valid function or procedure name
Please is very urgent!!!
Thanks.
Angie.

You need to use the syntax "{call <procedure_name>}".
The {call } syntax tells the OLE DB provider that it needs to translate the call into whatever the database's procedure calling syntax is. This means that even though different databases have different syntax for calling stored procedures, your OLE DB code can be run against any of them without changing.
