How to call database procedure in oracle forms

Hi,
Can anyone describe me that how I'll call database procedure in oracle forms (6i,10g)?
Thanks in Advance.
Baloch

Hi Francois,
As I created a procedure in database as below
create or replace procedure For_table (tbl_of in number,st_pnt in number,en_pnt in number) is
begin
for i in st_pnt..en_pnt loop
dbms_output.put_line(tbl_of||'*'||i||'='||tbl_of*i);
end loop;
end For_table;
The above procedure is working fine when I'm using PL/SQL. I call the above procedure as
begin
For_table(3,5,20);
end;
but nothing happen
Thanks in Advance.

Calling stored procedure from Forms 6.0(developer)

Friends,
Thanks for your replies. I am really grateful for your help for my last query. But I still have one hitch. How do I call from Developer 2000 Forms 6.0 a stored procedure which I made in Oracle 8i ?
null

This is an example from Forms on-line help "Invoking a stored program" topic:
DECLARE
ld DATE;
ln NUMBER;
lv VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
** Calling Database Procedure/Function
database_procedure_name(ld,ln,lv);
ld := database_function_name(ln,lv);
END;

Calling Stored procedure from Forms 6i

Dear all,
I have a stored procedure having INand INOUT parameters. I need to call it from Forms 6i triggers. Will you please tell me the syntax for calling stored procedure and stored function from Forms 6i and report 6i.

Just the same as for a local procedure, the only restrictions concern package public variables which are not visible from client side PL/SQL, and you probly want to keep the interfaces simple as client side PL/SQL (e.g. the Forms and Reports engines) don't support the same range of datatypes that the database does.

Call Stored Procedure from Forms 6i -- Urgent Plz...

Dear All,
I am first writing a stored procedure as:-
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
good_hire
(birthdate_in IN DATE,
reqsal_in IN NUMBER)
RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
too_young BOOLEAN :=
ADD_MONTHS
(SYSDATE, -216) >
birthdate_in;
too_expensive BOOLEAN :=
reqsal_in > fin.dept_bal;
BEGIN
RETURN NOT (too_young
OR too_expensive);
END;
Now in my forms also i have the same function,which i defined in in my program unit i.e., with the same name good_hire,but with different parameters.
If I want to call this stored procedure(good_hire)in my form
I am writing this code in the pre-Insert trigger.
IF good_hire
(:newemp.birthdate,
:newemp.proposed_sal)
THEN
SELECT empseq.NEXTVAL
INTO :newemp.empno
FROM dual;
ELSE
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
Notice that i am sending bind variables from my form to the
stored procedure. Now my question :
1) Can i pass bind variables to the stored procedures from
forms or is there any other way i can access the
stored roceures from forms(Expecting a detailed answer) and
from which triggers can I access the stored procedures(like pre-
Insert here)?
2) If at all I have the same parameters in my program unit
function and with the same name good_hire, I know that the code
in the pre-Insert trigger will call only the function in my
program unit and not the stored procedure, but if I like to
call my stored procedure instead of the local function good_hire
then what should I do?
2)As I said before if i have different parameters, for the
stored procedure good_hire and local function good_hire and If
I call good_hire from my pre-insert trigger .. Is it that the
Forms will decide and call the Local function or stored
procedure depending on the parameter list?
I hope all my points are very clear.
I am expecting the best and detailed answer for my
Queries, I also hope these Quests will clear the doubts of many
members in our esteemed group.
Thnx in Advance...
Regards
siree....

Dear Siree,
Oh!! how many Questions? Each how much big??
Ok First of all the answer to your first question.
You can use the Stored procedures in the same way as the Forms procedures. You can pass bind variables to the stored procedures as well. You can also use the stored procedures in any triggers, I think there are no restrictions for that. The only thing is you should be connected to database while compiling the trigger where you are calling the stored procedure.
Answer to your second question.
You cannot direct Forms (I don't know about version 10g), untill 9i, you cannot tell forms to take the stored procedure and leave the local procedure. It will always take the local procedure, once a procedure is called. If not found locally then only it will go for the Stored procedures.
For your third question.
As I told you b4 forms searches for the procedure being called locally first, if locally present, does not go to the stored procedure. If declared by different paramaters in the stored procedure and it is called, then it will throw error (as it first searches for the name locally and if found will take up the one present locally and since that procedure is with different parameter, will throw up error). It is after all a stupid machine and can't think like us.

Different session used when calling stored procedure from form

after commiting data in a form to a table, a stored procedure is called that inserts the data written to the table into several other tables. Some columns in the original table are updated - no commit is issued in the procedure. On returning from the procedure the form is re-queried but the updated columns don't contain the updates. This seems to imply that the stored procedure is running as a different session to the one of the form.
Is this the case? Can we make the form and the stored procedure use the same session so that the data is available in both without having to commit in the procedure?

No. They should be within one session unless you explicitly open a new session.
The reason why you dont see updates of the data block when you requery is probably the changes on the form never go to the back end. I think first you have to make sure data changes go to db table. You can do a commit_form before calling the stored procedure and open up another session (e.g. sqlplus) to check the data in the table changed or not.

Problem in calling a procedure in form builder

sir
i have developed a procedure in pl\sql libriries but when i call this procedure from trigger compiler can not recognized this procedure.
procedure is: computetotal
libraries name is pl_004
plese help me and give me solution
thanks in advance

It the library is attached, expand the attached library, and try dragging the program unit in question, to local program units of the form and then try to compile the form.
The only cause could be that library is not attached to the form, so give this above method a try to cross-check.

Calling stored procedures using forms & ruleframe

Does anybody know how I should call a stored procedure (which does some DML on tables) from forms when ruleframe is used? Should a transaction be opened before the procedure is called and closed afterwards? What should happen in the exception handler of the stored procedure, and how should exceptions be handled in the form?

Mike,
When calling code that performs DML, you must explicitly code the open and close transaction call. In that call, specify a program name that is specific to that piece of code. And you have to have an exception handler (see below).
What will happen, is that the open transaction call checks if a transaction is already open. If it is, it does nothing, and also the close transaction call will then do nothing, as the transaction was opened by another program unit.
If there is no open transaction yet, your call will open one, and then your close-call will also close it because it has the same program name. If at that moment errors are raised, you have to catch them with the standard Headstart exception handler (which you ought to have in all your Forms program units):
when form_trigger_failure
then
raise;
when others
then
qms$errors.unhandled_exception(<program unit>);
This exception handler will recognize the ruleframe exception and show the messages.
We have updated the CDM RuleFrame documentation for 6i to make this more clear, to avoid confusion in the future.
Hope this helps,
Sandra

How to run database procedure in oracle form

Hi,
I have created a database procedure, it run successfully at server side, but I need to run it on oracle form, how I'll do ?
Thanks
Baloch

Baloch,
Essentially, you call your database stored procedure the same way in Forms as you do in SQL Plus. The difference is that you need to call the procedure in a Forms Trigger versus a SQLPLus prompt. The Forms user must have execute privileges to the stored procedure as well. The Forms trigger depends on when and where you need the procedure to run. For example, if you need the procedure run in conjunction with a button pressed in your form, you would code your When-Button-Pressed trigger to call the stored procedure. If the db user is different fro.m the Forms user, make sure you fully qualify the call to the procedure.
Here is a small code sample to demonstrate:
/* Sample When-Button-Pressed trigger */
BEGIN
   IF <Condition is true> THEN
      /* Call Database procedure */
      SCHEMA.PROCEDURE_NAME(<any procedure parameters here>);
   END IF;
END;This is a very basic example, but it should make the concept clear. ;)
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

CALLING STORED PROCEDURE IN DATABASE FROM FORMS4.5

Is there any body know how to call stored procedure from Forms 4.5 ?
I am writing a when-button-pressed trigger.
Put the stored procedure name on there. But
it said "stored procedure name is not declared on this scope".
Thanks a lot
null

Try logging in to SQL*Plus and running the procedure, e.g....
SQL> begin
database_procedure_name(update_web);
end;
If it runs OK there, then it should run from within your form (provided that you are logged in as the same user as the test with SQL*Plus.

How to call Pl/sql procedure from form ?

Hi all,
I need to call a procedure from form after the user has pressed the button to invoke the sql procedure, can anyone please advise me on how to do it ?
Thanks.
Lim

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
yes, I have include in when-button-pressed trigger as
AIC_PROC_AR_CCID_UPD;
Below is my procedure :-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE AIC_PROC_AR_CCID_UPD(errbuf out Varchar2,
          retcode out Number ) is
VAR_BUF VARCHAR2(240);
Cursor C1 is
SELECT CONCATENATED_SEGMENTS ACCT,
SEGMENT5 SEG5
FROM AIC_GL_COA AGC
WHERE AGC.CODE_COMBINATION_ID IS NULL;
Rec1 C1%RowType;
BEGIN
FOR Rec1 IN C1 LOOP
     BEGIN
     UPDATE AIC_GL_COA A SET ( DESCRIPTION, CODE_COMBINATION_ID, SEGMENT5 )=
     ( SELECT FFVT.DESCRIPTION, GLA.CODE_COMBINATION_ID, GLA.SEGMENT5
     FROM GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS_KFV GLA,
     FND_FLEX_VALUES_TL FFVT,
     FND_FLEX_VALUES FFV
     WHERE GLA.CONCATENATED_SEGMENTS = REC1.ACCT
     AND FFV.FLEX_VALUE = REC1.SEG5
     AND FFV.FLEX_VALUE_ID = FFVT.FLEX_VALUE_ID
     AND FFV.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID = 1002673 )
     WHERE A.SEGMENT5 = REC1.SEG5 ;
     EXCEPTION
     WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
     FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT, 'NO RECORD UPDATE !!');
     END;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
RETURN;
END;
However, when I try to compile it, error prompt :-
Error 306 at line 1, column 1
wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'AIC_PROC_AR_CCID_UPD'
Error 0 at line 1, column 1
statement ignored.
By the way, my form 6i is running at client site and connection to procedure in unix server. Will this is ok ?
Thanks

Database procedure error

Hi everyone,
I have form which has two database procedures in key commit trigger. If any error occurs while executing the second database procedure
I dont want to save the form and first database procedure values. Can anyone please tell me how to pass the database procedure error to
form so that it can stop the saving of form and first database procedure .
Thanks in advance for any reply.

Dear all,
Thanks for your kind reply.
I have tried using DBMS_ERROR_CODE in ON-ERROR trigger. My code appears like this.
create or replace procedure_name(parmeters) as --- This is a database procedure;
begin
procedure_body;
exception
when others then
Raise_application_error(-20025,'Error Message');
end;
In form in ON_ERROR trigger I have declared like this:
IF DBMS_ERROR_CODE = -20025 THEN
MESG('Error in Insertion');
Raise form_trigger_failure;
END IF;
I am not getting error message that I declared in ON_ERROR trigger instead I am getting error message from raise_application_error statement.
Could anyone please guide me exactly how to catch the database procedure in form level so that I can stop exceution of the form.
