Calling PL/SQL procedures/functions

Hi all,
What is the best way to call procedures and functions stored in Oracle database 10g, I am using ADF JSF. and can I call them inside the Appmod and EO's.
thanks in advance,
Ahmad Esbita

Ahmad,
somehow I get the feeling that we need to better expose our developer guides because nobody seems to find them. The developer guide is accessible from otn.oracle.com/products/jdev and this is the chapter you are looking for

Calling PL/SQL procedures from a Windows CMD script

Hello,
I am writing a Windows CMD script. From this script I want to call procedures from a PL/SQL package which selects, inserts or deletes rows from the database.
How do I go about logging into the database from the cmd script and calling PL/SQL procedures from there?
Does anyone have any examples of such scripts? Thanks in advance.

No, it is not a job that needs to be scheduled.
The script will be used when needed to select info from a certain table and also to insert or delete certain info into/from this table (so, it is just simple sql statements which I have put into a package), but I'm sure how to log into the database and execute the procedures from this package in a cmd script.

Calling PL/SQL Procedures from Java

Hello,
I want to know, if it is possible to call PL/SQL Procedures from
SQLJ(which uses htp.print from the Package web toolkit ).
Though, it is possible to call normal procedures but if I want
to call PL/SQL procedures with htp.print then I get I error.
For example:
#sql{Call html_test()};
Can you give me a advice?
Your help is much appreciated!
M|ller

Oracle's htp packages are develop to be work with
mod_plsql/OAS/OWS webserver.
If you are trying to use htp packages first need to instanciate
some enviroment vars for htp packages, for example first you has
to call to owa.initialize procedure, populate owa.cgi array and
so on.
If you need more information about how this toolkit works you
could get the source of DB Prism at
http://www.plenix.com/dbprism/ this open source framework
includes backward compatibility with mod_plsql application and
then includes settings of this values from Java code.
Best regards, Marcelo.

DB Adapter calling PL/SQL Procedure gives error

Created partner link, calling pl/sql procedure with one in variable and one out variable. Invoke works fine. Assigning pl/sql return value to output is causing run time error. "Rebuild" and "Deploy" works file.
Here is the error:

Thanks, it works.
In the “Assign Variables”
Changed from:
<copy>
<from variable="Invoke_1_ASNDBTest103_OutputVariable"
part="OutputParameters" query="/ns3:OutputParameters/ns3:OUT_STATUS_CODE"/>
<to variable="outputVariable" part="payload"

Changed to:

part="OutputParameters" query="/ns3:OutputParameters"/>
<to variable="outputVariable" part="payload"
query="/ns2:ASNReturnStatus102"/>
</copy>
So far so good, but one question, compiler gives warning…but everything works well.
Warning(97):
[Error ORABPEL-10041]: Trying to assign incompatible types
[Description]: in line 97 of "C:\HOME\jdevOAExt3\jdevhome\jdev\mywork\ASNTest101\BPELProcess1\bpel\BPELProcess1.bpel", <from> value type "{http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/APPS/XRX_BPEL_INSERT_ASN_TMP102/}OutputParameters anonymous type" is not compatible with <to> value type "{http://www.thiscompany.com/ns/sales}ASNReturnStatus102".
[Potential fix]: Please make sure that the return value of from-spec query is compatible with the to-spec query.
Also, instead of direct variable to variable copy, used expression to variable copy and it works. You can avoid the warning from the compiler.
Does not work ==> bpws:getVariableData('Invoke_1_ASNDBTest103_OutputVariable','payload','/ns3:OutputParameters/ns3:OUT_STATUS_CODE')
Works ==> bpws:getVariableData('Invoke_1_ASNDBTest103_OutputVariable','payload','/ns3:OutputParameters’)
So, why the compiler warning?

Got Call pl/sql procedure in C#

Hi Experts,
I tried to call a pl/sql procedure TEST_COMP from a .NET app in C# and got the following error, but the same code worked in VB, any advice?
Thanks,
James
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00201: identifier 'UTIL_PKG.TEST_COMP' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
UTIL_PKG is the name of package, I logged in as the owner of the package.
Here is the C# code, that gets an error:
string cmdString = "UTIL_PKG.TEST_COMP";
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(cmdString,con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
try
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
catch (Exception ex)
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
Here is the VB code that works:
Dim cmdString As String = "UTIL_PKG.TEST_COMP"
Dim cmd As OracleCommand = New OracleCommand(cmdString)
cmd.Connection = con
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Try
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)

Double post:
Re: Got PLS-00201 error when call ps/sql procedure from .NET app in C#
The bottom line is it should work in both. So either you aren't telling us all the details, or something has changed and you don't even know it.

Problem calling PL/SQL procedure from Workflow function activity.

Hi,
I am trying to call a PL/SQL procedure from within my workflow activity.
While I am able to execute the procedure through SQLDeveloper, the workflow function does not seem to call it.
It seems that custom PL/SQL procedures have to conform to certain standards to be called within workflow applications. I have written my procedure to conform to those standards (referred to the example workflows).
Could someone please help me with it?
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
When I've received enough alpha reviews of the first few chapters of my book, I'll make chapter five available, which deals with writing functions for Workflows.

Call PL/SQL procedure from htmldb_delete_message Javascript

Hi Guys,
I am a bit of a novice when it come to JavaScript; I have written a PL/SQL procedure that deletes multiple records based on a primary key:
PROCEDURE clear_alterations (p_eco IN VARCHAR2)
IS
BEGIN
DELETE FROM xxmel_apex_eco_alterations
WHERE eco = p_eco;
END clear_alterations;
I can run that straight from a normal button, but I want the htmldb_delete_message dialog box to pop up to confirm whether to delete or not. When the user clicks 'OK' I want the record to be deleted and if cancel, do nothing.
I have managed to get the confirmation box to appear but cant see how to call the PLSQL based on the 'OK' button being pressed.
Any help would be great,
Thanks
Chris

Hi Cashy,
By using Ajax you can call that process. Create that process as a application process. If you are using ApEx4.0 you can create that process as page level.
This stuff you can call on the population of the delete message...check for the id through javascript then call the function.
Thanks and Regards

Returning Multiple Rows From DBAdapter Calling PL/SQL Procedure

Oracle XE 10g Express Edition
JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0
WebLogic Server 11g
Guys,
I have a table of orders, which I need to interrogate, and pass back any matching rows which meet certain criteria (e.g. status = 'OPEN').
However, rather than create a DBAdapter using an Operation Type of "Peform an Operation on a Table/Select", I need to use an Operation Type of "Call a Stored Procedure or Function".
I therefore need the procedure to return all the matching rows, rather than a single row.
I have looked at declaring return parameters for the procedure of the following types:
RECORD - is good because it allows me to return the elements of the row with their correct datatypes, but does not meet my needs because it will only support the return of a single row.
VARRAY - good because it can contain many row elements, but not good because it only supports a single row return, and also because all elements of the VARRAY must be of the same data type.
TABLE - good because it can contain many rows, but bad because each row can contain only two elements - the index element and the data element.
I think I could first define a RECORD (to hold a row), and then define a TABLE, with the data element being the RECORD, but I have found JDeveloper very fussy indeed when dealing with 'non-standard' data types in the DBAdapter.
Apologies if I am missing something obvious, but can anyone suggest a way of doing this?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I've been able to create process that seems to work. My platform is a but different but I don't think this is important for your question.
Here is the PL/SQL code. Just make Db Adapter for Calling stored procedure and it returns all rows!
Be aware of possible limitations on how manyrows you could return in one select! This can have severe impact on performance.
Succes.

Calling PL/SQL procedure that returns boolean in java

Hi All,
Was not sure weather to post this on Java forum threads or PL/SQL forum threads. So posting at both locations.
I have to call a PL/SQL procedure from java. This PL/SQL has IN/OUT parameters as well as return a Boolean value.
The procedure definition is as follows:
FUNCTION GET_NEXT(O_error_message IN OUT VARCHAR2,
IO_item_no IN OUT ITEM_MASTER.ITEM%TYPE,
I_item_type IN ITEM_MASTER.ITEM_NUMBER_TYPE%TYPE)
return BOOLEAN;
END ITEM_NUMBER_TYPE_SQL;
And the java function I am using is as follows:
This is in the ADF Application module impl code
public String callNextItem(){
CallableStatement callableStmt = null;
String rmsUser = getDBTransaction().getConnectionMetadata().getUserName();
String callableStatement = "begin ? := ITEM_NUMBER_TYPE_SQL.VALIDATE_FORMAT(?,?,?); end;";
System.out.println("callableStatement "+callableStatement);
try{
callableStmt = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(callableStatement,0);
callableStmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.*BIT*);
callableStmt.registerOutParameter(2, Types.VARCHAR);
callableStmt.registerOutParameter(3, Types.VARCHAR);
callableStmt.registerOutParameter(4, Types.VARCHAR);
callableStmt.setBoolean(1, false);
callableStmt.setString(2, "");
callableStmt.setString(3, "");
callableStmt.setString(4, "UPC-A");
callableStmt.executeUpdate();
System.out.println("STATUS : " + callableStmt.getString(3));
System.out.println("ERROR : " + callableStmt.getString(2));
String status = "";
getDBTransaction().commit();
System.out.println("commited ");
callableStmt.close();
return status;
}catch(SQLException e){
System.out.println("Error:" +e);
throw new JboException(e);
But this function never works. Throws "not valid expression type" error.
I have called several PL/SQL procedures before, only difference being
they never used to return any value. Particularly I feel the cause of the
error is the Boolean type that is returned from the procedure.
If you have any idea, please help.

403 Forbidden error calling PL/SQL Procedure from URL

I am getting a 403 Forbidden browser error when calling a PL/SQL procedure from the URL, as in this:
http://<server.port>/apex/SCHEMA.procedure_name/f?p_param1=394&p_param2=2, etc
We are upgrading from HTMLDB 2.0 to APEX 4.0.2. I do not believe the upgrade has anything to do with it, c/o the upgraded app works fine in another APE 4.0.2 environment.
The upgrade is to new machines, new DB and new app server, Oracle Web Tier, Oracle HTTP server deployment.
The dads.conf entries are fine, all standard:
Alias /i/ "/apexd01/app/oracle/product/http/Oracle_WT1/ohs/images/"

The GRANT EXECUTE ON procedure TO PUBLIC is there.
A call to the same procedure via a process in an APEX page works fine - the procedure is OK.
The call from javascript, which sets up the call from the URL, is the one that fails with the 403 Forbidden error.
The same app works fine in another APEX 4.0.2 environment, so I know it is not the JS; It has to be some configuration setting in this environment.
I do NOT have access to the app server.
I have asked that they compare the httpd.conf, and all underlying conf files, to check for differences.
In order for me to be more specific, and hopefully speed up the troubleshooting process, can anyone suggest what other settings to look at?
Thank you - Karen

Hello,
Good catch, but the difference in URL is in fact the difference in my env to theirs. My typo in not correcting my example to match the dads.conf entry of /pls/apexd. My env uses /apex/. Just saves on my typing.
As an update, I asked the DBA to double-check, and yes, the www_flow_epg_include_mod_local function IS there.
www_flow_epg_include_mod_local is an APEX function.
So now we are trying adding procedures to it. I'll let you know if it works.
My previous question remains - why would I need to do this in one env, and not another,
given that the DB GRANTs are there.
Is there a particular app server setting that wil block execution of PL/SL procedures from the URL?
My guess is, there is some difference in configuration settings for the app server, somewhere in the httpd.conf chain.
Since I do not have access to those files, I cannot do a diff myself, as I would have if I the issue was on my machine.
I am in a situation where I can suggest what to do, but that's it. I agree, it's hard to troubleshoot in this situation.
I am being asked "what setting do I need to change?" without the benefit of access to what is there,so I am doing the best I can, without diverting from my work for a deep-dive refresher session on httpd.conf settings.
So, if anyone is aware of some setting that would block execution of a PL/SQL proc from the URL, please let me know,
and of course, if adding a proc to www_flow_epg_include_mod_local works, I'll be happy. Just still curious.
Thank you - K
