Calling oracle function from access

does anyone know if it s possible to call a oracle pl/sql function from access ?
thx in advance
Andre

As long as you do not need a return value from the procedure, you can call it from Access.
Create a QueryDef object as a sql pass through query. Make sure that you set the ReturnsRecords property of the QueryDef to false. Set the SQL property of the QueryDef to the correct syntax to execute your procedure, then call the Execute method of the QueryDef object.

  • Problem calling Oracle function from Access 2007 / ADO

    Hopefully, I'm posting this in the correct forum. I'm also posting on an Access forum as I'm not entirely sure where the issue lies.
    I'm calling an Oracle function from Access 2007 using an ADO Command object.
    The function takes three input parameters and has a return value and an output parameter. The output parameter is a BLOB, and the return value is varchar2 (either "T" or "N") based on the outcome of the function.
    If I pass correct values to the function, I get the following error message (errs out on the command.execute line):
    Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
    [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    Here's the function:
    FUNCTION GET_ITEMREV_ATTACH(P_ORGANIZATION_ID IN NUMBER,
    P_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID IN NUMBER,
    P_REVISION IN VARCHAR2,
    X_DRAWING OUT BLOB) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    RESULT VARCHAR2(1);
    BEGIN
    RESULT := 'T';
    BEGIN
    SELECT L.FILE_DATA
    INTO X_DRAWING
    FROM FND_ATTACHED_DOCUMENTS AD,
    MTL_ITEM_REVISIONS_B IR,
    FND_DOCUMENTS_TL D,
    FND_LOBS L
    WHERE AD.ENTITY_NAME = 'MTL_ITEM_REVISIONS' AND
    AD.PK1_VALUE = IR.ORGANIZATION_ID AND
    AD.PK2_VALUE = IR.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID AND
    AD.PK3_VALUE = IR.REVISION_ID AND
    AD.CATEGORY_ID = 1001216 AND
    D.DOCUMENT_ID = AD.DOCUMENT_ID AND
    D.LANGUAGE = 'US' AND
    L.FILE_ID = D.MEDIA_ID AND
    IR.ORGANIZATION_ID = P_ORGANIZATION_ID AND
    IR.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID = P_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID AND
    IR.REVISION = P_REVISION;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    RESULT := 'N';
    END;
    RETURN(RESULT);
    END GET_ITEMREV_ATTACH;
    Here's the VB code I'm using to call the function:
    Private Sub Command8_Click()
    Dim CMD As New ADODB.Command
    Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
    Dim Param1 As ADODB.Parameter
    Dim Param2 As ADODB.Parameter
    Dim Param3 As ADODB.Parameter
    Dim ParamBlob As ADODB.Parameter
    Dim ParamReturn As ADODB.Parameter
    Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
    With conn
    .ConnectionString = "Driver={Oracle in OraHome92};Dbq=OAPLY;UID=***;PWD=*******"
    .CursorLocation = adUseClient
    .Open
    End With
    Set CMD = New ADODB.Command
    Set CMD.ActiveConnection = conn
    CMD.CommandText = "immi_attach_pub.get_itemrev_attach"
    CMD.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
    Set ParamReturn = CMD.CreateParameter("RESULT", adVarChar, adParamReturnValue, 1)
    CMD.Parameters.Append ParamReturn
    Set Param1 = CMD.CreateParameter("P_ORGANIZATION_ID", adInteger, adParamInput, 1, 6)
    CMD.Parameters.Append Param1
    Set Param2 = CMD.CreateParameter("P_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, 5207)
    CMD.Parameters.Append Param2
    Set Param3 = CMD.CreateParameter("P_REVISION", adVarChar, adParamInput, 2, "04")
    CMD.Parameters.Append Param3
    Set ParamBlob = CMD.CreateParameter("X_DRAWING", adLongVarBinary, adParamOutput, 200000)
    CMD.Parameters.Append ParamBlob
    CMD.Execute , , adExecuteNoRecords *** this is where the error occurs
    conn.Close
    MsgBox CMD.Parameters("RESULT")
    End Sub
    I've tried using different data types for the varchar2 parameters (adVarChar, adBSTR, adChar) with no difference.
    If I pass a bogus value for Param3...."'04'"...the function returns "N" indicating that it actually executed something. But, when I pass the correct value "04", it returns the above mentioned error.
    I can execute the function in PL/SQL just fine, so I'm thinking there's something wrong with the parameters, datatype, or other definitions on the Access side.
    Does anyone have any thoughts? I'm at a dead end with this. Sorry for the long post. Thank you.

    I tried your code with 11107 ODBC/client/database (but with a NULL output blob for convenience sake) and got no errors.
    If you're using 92 ODBC/client, you may want to try upgrading to something more current, or at least getting the latest patch(9208) to see if that helps. Since it works for me I'm guessing it may be a resolved bug in that version.
    Hope it helps,

  • Calling oracle function from Access passthrough query does not return list

    Thanks to the help I received in an earlier post I've created an oracle 10g function that returns a list after executing the sql it contains. It works in oracle, using sql developer.
    I need to have the list that it returns show up in MS Access via a passthrough query. It's not working so far. The connection string etc is ok, I'm able to use passthrough queries to run sql strings successfully. But when I try to call the function via the Access passthrough query at first nothing seems to happen (ie no list appears) and if I try to run it again, there is a odbc error 'call in progress. Current operation canceled'. There are only the three records in the table. I'm missing something, can anyone spot it?
    The passthrough query looks like this
    select * from fn_testvalues from dual
    Again that runs in oracle.
    To create the testing table and 2 functions see below.
    CREATE TABLE t_values (MyValue varchar2(10));
    Table created
    INSERT INTO t_values (
    SELECT 'Merced' c1 FROM dual UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Pixie' FROM dual UNION ALL
    SELECT '452' FROM dual);
    3 rows inserted
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_isnum(p_val VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
    n_val NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    n_val := to_number(p_val);
    RETURN 1;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    RETURN 0;
    END;
    Function created
    testing the table:
    SELECT val, fn_isnum(MyValue ) isnum
    FROM t_values;
    VAL ISNUM
    Merced 0
    Pixie 0
    452 1
    Now the function that is called in the passthrough query:
    create or replace function fn_testvalues
    return sys_refcursor is
    rc sys_refcursor;
    begin
    open rc for
    Select t_values.*, fn_isnum(MyValue) IsNum from t_values;
    return(rc);
    end fn_testvalues;

    OK. But obviously there is some oracle object that one can call via an Access pass-through query which returns rows?Just to clarify. You could fetch data in Access from an Oracle function that returns a ref cursor using VBA editor. To use a pass-through query Oracle function should be a table function or pipelined table function:
    CREATE OR REPLACE
      TYPE testvalues_obj_type
        AS OBJECT(
                  val varchar2(10),
                  isnum number
    CREATE OR REPLACE
      TYPE testvalues_tbl_type
        AS TABLE OF testvalues_obj_type
    CREATE OR REPLACE
      FUNCTION fn_testvalues
        RETURN testvalues_tbl_type
        PIPELINED
        IS
            CURSOR testvalues_cur
              IS
                SELECT  testvalues_obj_type(MyValue,fn_isnum(MyValue)) testvalues_obj
                  FROM  t_values;
        BEGIN
            FOR v_rec IN testvalues_cur LOOP
              PIPE ROW(v_rec.testvalues_obj);
            END LOOP;
            RETURN;
    END;
    /To test it in Oracle:
    SELECT  *
      FROM  TABLE(fn_testvalues)
    VAL             ISNUM
    Merced              0
    Pixie               0
    452                 1
    SQL> Now in Access pass-trough query window enter:
    SELECT  *
      FROM  TABLE(fn_testvalues);SY.

  • 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);

    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);

    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...

  • Calling ORACLE Functions from within CF Builder report

    Hi, I have an ORACLE function that I would like to call from within my CF REPORT.
    I know there is a section in the report builder where you can write coldfusion code to perform tasks, but I would rather simply call the ORACLE function for each detail row in the report
    I do not want to call this function from within my main ORACLE query that I use for the report, so please don't suggest that.
    Thanks so much.

    6.0.5 is not certified against 10g database, so I suggest to upgrade to 6.0.8.26 (6i patch 17) first to see if the problem is gone.

    Stored Procedures
    When executing an Oracle PL/SQL stored procedure using a command, use Oracle native syntax or the ODBC procedure call escape sequence in the command text:
    Oracle native syntax: BEGIN credit_account(123, 40); END;
    ODBC syntax: {CALL credit_account(123, 40)}
    Preparing Commands
    OraOLEDB validates and fetches the metadata only for SELECT SQL statements.
    Command Parameters
    When using Oracle ANSI SQL, parameters in the command text are preceded by a colon. In ODBC SQL, parameters are indicated by a question mark ("?").
    OraOLEDB supports input, output, and input/output parameters for PL/SQL stored procedures and stored functions. OraOLEDB supports input parameters for SQL statements.

  • Calling oracle functions from PreparedStatement

    Hi everybody,
    I have got the transaction rolled back when I tried to call HexToRaw() function of oracle to insert raw data into a table. The raw data column is of size 30 chars.
    Part of my prepared statement is :
    " VALUES(?,?,?, HEXTORAW(00000000000000000000000000000000),?,?) "
    I just need to insert a sequence of zeroes into the column, so no setBytes() needed i guess.
    Any help will be apprciated.
    Thank you all.

    Could anyone please reply....

  • Calling oracle Function from java

    first of all ... i don't know english very vell and sorry about it ..... then ...
    i've created table in oracle :
    create table STUDENT
    ID NUMBER,
    NAME VARCHAR2(50),
    SURNAME VARCHAR2(50),
    AGE NUMBER
    and than i've wrote function like that :
    create or replace function sf_SearchStudent
    nID in number
    return MyPackage.CursorType is
    Result MyPackage.CursorType;
    begin
    open Result for select * from STUDENT where ID=nID;
    return Result;
    end sf_SearchStudent;
    and it's working fine but in java i wrote code like that :
    CallableStatement callst = conn.prepareCall("{?=call sf_SearchStudent(?,?,?,?)}");
    callst.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
    callst.setInt(1,id);
    callst.setString(2,name);
    callst.setString(3,surname);
    callst.setInt(4,age);
    callst.executeUpdate(); ------->>>>> ERROR Occur
    ResultSet res = ((OracleCallableStatement)callst).getCursor(1);
    while (res.next())
    System.out.println(res.getInt("ID"));
    System.out.println(res.getString("NAME"));
    System.out.println(res.getString("SURNAME"));
    System.out.println(res.getInt("AGE"));
    but here is an error and i don't know why :( ....... please help me ..... F!
    error type :
    java.sql.SQLException: Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 5

    no it's not a problem ........ I so already tried, but a mistake all the same was. After that I a little bit simplified.
    ok consequently i did oracle procedure like that :
    create or replace function sf_SearchStudent
    nID in number
    return MyPackage.CursorType is
    wCursor MyPackage.CursorType;
    begin
    open wCursor for Wselect;
    return wCursor;
    end sf_SearchStudent;
    and the java source code looks like that :
    CallableStatement callst = conn.prepareCall("{?=call sf_SearchStudent(?,?,?,?)}");
    callst.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
    callst.setString(1, name);
    callst.executeUpdate(); ------------------>>>>>>>>>> HERE IS AN ERROR ------------<<<<<<<<<<<<
    ResultSet res = ( (OracleCallableStatement) callst).getCursor(4);
    while (res.next())
    System.out.println(res.getInt("ID"));
    System.out.println(res.getString("NAME"));
    System.out.println(res.getString("SURNAME"));
    System.out.println(res.getInt("AGE"));

  • Can LabVIEW call a function from a .sys file or is LabVIEW limited to dll access?

    My vendor has sent me a .sys file with functions accessing their hardware.  Can i call these function from labview directly or do I have to wrapper the .sys with a dll?

    Well a sys file is a kernel device driver. LabVIEW does not have any direct way of accessing such a driver. The way kernel drivers are accessed is usually through a DLL which makes calls to WinAPI functions such as CreateFile(), ReadFile(), WriteFile(), CloseHandle() and DeviceIORequest(). Since these WinAPI calls are basically just DLL calls too, you could theoretically use the Call Library Node to call them and access the kernel device driver in such a way.
    However for any kernel device driver with more than one or two device driver calls, it will certainly be easier in terms of development, debugging and maintenance of the code, to write actually a dedicated DLL in C/C++ for this device driver and access that DLL from LabVIEW, especially if you consider the LabVIEW datatype limitations when designing the DLL interface (Basically this same DLL can then be called from any other Windows development environment, be it Visual Basic (similar datatype limitation as LabVIEW), Delphi, (Visual) C, LabVIEW or also various scripting environments like Python and Lua.
    Some of the necessary WindAPI calls are rather involved and pose quite a bit of trouble to get the parameter data right in LabVIEw.

  • Call Oracle Reports from  Forms ver 9i or 10g

    Hi,
    Can somebody guide me, how to call Oracle Reports from the Oracle form 9i,
    Run_product is no more available into 9i & 10g, Run_report_object is not working with out put type "Screen" or "preview".
    What is the best way to call the reports from the form ??? pls help...
    Thanks in avdance.
    Jitesh ([email protected])

    You can use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT with CACHE type, and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to view the document on the screen.
    In the Forms help you should find examples.
    If you have access to Metalink, have a look at Note:207396.1.

  • 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

    Can some one provide the syntax of calling user function from interface mapping.Oracle's Call Iinterface, the OCI, does not work differently when coding using a Dvorak keyboard, or writing code using a pretty pink font in the editor.. or coding the call from an interface mapping (whatever the hell that that is).
    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.

  • 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,
