Can i use static cursor a perameter

is it possible to use static cursor a parameter in procedure or function.

.. but you can define a strong typed ref cursor which means type checking will be performed and if the ref cursor does not contain a valid SQL projection ("result set"), an exception will be raised.

Can I use static variable in EJB?

Many books suggest developer don't use static variable in EJB,I want to know why?
I know there isn't any problem if the static varibale is read only
For writable static varible ,what will happen if I use a static Hashtable for share data
Help me!Thank you very much!!

Greetings,
I know that "EJB business methods are not allowed to
block on synchronized resources" Just where do you "know" that from?? The EJB 2.0 Specification, at least, is nowhere in agrement with this statement. If it comes from a book I would question the author's reasoning. Contractually, there's no sound basis for this. In the case of Session Beans, they have an expressedly direct and single-threaded association with a client. From a design viewpoint, it certainly seems unnecessary for a bean to "block" its one-and-only client, but to say that it "is not allowed to" do so is without merit. Entity Beans, on the other hand, are concurrently accessible. Yet, with regard to a transactional context being in effect, the container does indeed block on a bean's business methods. For the bean to do so itself is, therefore, unnecessary. Furthermore, the specification explicitly concedes that a "Bean Provider is typically an application domain expert" and "is not required to be an expert at system-level programming." (EJB 2.0 Spec. 3.1.1) From these statements alone it is reasonable to assume the above statement is meritless since the Bean Provider is not expected to even consider synchronization issues when developing a bean.
But I'm mixed up why we could use "Hashtable" or otherApparently, because your sources are as well...
collection classes in the EJB ,in these method many
methods are synchronized In fact, not only "can we use" them but, with respect to multiple-row finders in Entity Beans we are [i]required to use them (or an iteration of them)! Not all Collection classes are synchronized (so called "heavy-weight collections"). As shown above, that the choice of a particular Collection class might be synchronized is of little consequence since a bean designed under strict adherence to the specification ensures that it is never concurrently writeable.
Could someone provide a good way for this problem?
Please Help Me!!!Regards,

Can I use a cursor to display multipla records (just as an EXECUTE_QUERY)?

is it possible?
so I can display about 10 records at the same time in a block (in forms)
just like a tabular form?
using a cursor, fetch, etc.

what I want is this...
do you see when in a tabular forms (multiple records, i.e 5 records at the same time).
if you press F8 (execute query), it will fetch all records.
ok, now instead of using the execute_query key, how can I get the same thing by using cursors?

I can not use my cursor on pages...it's gone how do I get it back?

Hey, can anyone help me? We just purchased this wonderful machine. We've ALWAYS had a pc which makes this new adventure frustrating and exciting. I decided to explore my pages documents and I experiemented and ended up losing my cursor.
Does anyone know how to get it back?
Thanks

You have probably simply opened a blank Layout template which has no default text area. In Layout documents you need to add textboxes to the page.
Just start over from the Tempalet Chooser and pick a Word Processing document (see the sidebar titles) or a template with actual content in it already.

I want to use a static image in the form I mean i need some images to show to end user and images but are static images, i was trying to copy paste image from from outside to forms but could not do it.
Please what is the way to add static image in the form.

Can I use a cursor like this ...

I have 10 columns that are named block_1 through block_10. I want to carry out some validation on the 10 columns but I do not want to use 10 separate conditional statements to process them. So what I would like to do is use a FOR LOOP to return a number into the variable COL_NUM, I will then use this value to numerically increment the column names from 1 to 10. Then hope to use the concatenated results which include the cursor variable to form an IF THEN statement that will be looped through. WHat I have does not work, Is this because using cursor in this way cant be done or is it for some other reason?

Can't use mouse cursor to select windows buttons from XFCE panel

The problem is weird but the behaviour is as follow: let say I have sultiple copies of the same software (Firefox, for instance) or when the software has multiple windows (for example Pidgin main windows and its other chat windows). Wwhen I try to click on the windows button on the panel in order to navigate to the window of such software, it won't work. nothing would happen. On the other hand, Alt+Tab works for switching to the desired windows. However, if the software only has one window running (for example, only one Firefox window) then the mouse click would work.
It's a strange behaviour and I got this on both my PC which runs Arch 64 bit and my laptops with Arch.
Anyone has the same problem?

Inxsible wrote:Do you have conky running -- maybe that's covering the panel and eating up the mouse click events. Try killing conky and see if it works.
Nope, thx Inxsible but conky's not running here.
Right-click menu (minimize, maximize, etc...) works for each of the multiple entries, though.
I just tried recompiling xfce4-panel 4.8.2-1 with no apparent error message or any change in behaviour... hm...
[Edit] It seems like a bug's already been filed: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7383

How to use Declare Cursor

Hello I ran into a problem while running a SQL command using OracleCommand. I am Declaring a cursor to retrieve values from table A and then loop through that dataset to update table B. When I run this script I see my application hanging right there without any response. Do I have to use REF CURSOR? HOW to use it? I can't use DECLARE CURSOR? Need help. Here is my present SQL command

That block should run the same from ODP.NET as from SQLPlus. Which is very slowly. You shouldn't be using a cursor here. Instead try an updatable join, or better MERGE (for 9i).

Can we use Column Names in Parameter Cursor

Hi
can we use Column Names in Parameter Cursor??
DECLARE
CURSOR Emp_Cur (P_Deptno NUMBER)
IS
SELECT Empno, Ename
FROM Emp
WHERE Deptno = P_Deptno;
BEGIN
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur(10)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur(20)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
END;
In the above Program, I send Deptnumber. If i send Column names like Empno, Ename. What can i do??
If Declare Samething Through Parameter Cursor, it doesn't accept VARCHAR2(Size)

For parameters you don't use size, just the type (DATE, NUMBER, VARCHAR2, CLOB, ...)
DECLARE
CURSOR Emp_Cur (P_Ename VARCHAR2)
IS
    SELECT Empno, Ename
    FROM Emp
    WHERE Ename = P_Ename;
BEGIN
FOR Emp IN Emp_Cur('SCOTT')
LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Number is: '||emp.Empno);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('The Employee Name is: '||emp.Ename);
END LOOP;
END;

Can I use bind variable instaed of writing static COLUMN Name

Hi , I am having a table containing id and column names, the data is stored against that id in other tables. Now I wish to update data into another table so that it goes into apppropriate column without using decode function.
I am trying to do this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'update TEST set :1 = :2
where PROJECT_ID= :3 and UNIQUE_ID= :4' using P_DEST_COLUMN, P_TEXT_VALUE, P_PROJ_ID, P_TASK_UID;
the values P_DEST_COLUMN, P_TEXT_VALUE, P_PROJ_ID, P_TASK_UID are populated using a cursor in PL/SQl
Is this statement valid? If not can you tell me how to do it as I am getting some error I am unable to comprehend.
thanks
Rishabh

Column names cannot be substituted at run-time as bind variables. If you need to specify the column name at run-time, you'd need to construct a new string and execute that string dynamically, i.e.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'UPDATE test SET ' || p_dest_column || ' = :1 ' || ...From a data model standpoint, storing column names as data elements in another table is generally a rather poor idea. It's likely to make ad-hoc reporting nearly impossible and to cause a lot more parsing than would otherwise be required.

Can I use data from Servlet in my static html page?

First of all, I can NOT use jsp because of web server's restriction.
I have a servlet which will give me some image links in html file via doGET and doPOST method. I also need the sizes of the images and compress the images if too large.
My question is how I can pass the image sizes to the html page and how I can use them in html files.
Please advise me some solutions to this problem.

Yeah, you have 2 choices:
1) Change your web server to one that allows JSP.
2) Re-build the JSP system from scratch so that the one you make will work in your server. This would involve changing your so called static HTML to have markings (like <% %> tags) where you should insert the values you need to insert. You would then have a servlet that reads the 'static' HTML, parses our the insertion tags, and inserts the values. It would then stream the results back to the user.
Of course, your HTML is not really static, it is dynamic because the values you are inserting are capable of changing.
If you don't want to upgrade the server to one that supports JSPs (if yours really doesn't), the have fun making your own system.

How can I use comma in the return values of a static list of values

Hi all,
I want to create a select list (static LOV) like the following:
Display Value / Return Value
both are "Y" / 'YY'
one is "Y" / 'YN','NY'
I write the List of values definition is like this:
STATIC:both are "Y"; 'YY',one is "Y";'YN', 'NY'
However, it is explain by htmldb like this:
Display Value / Return Value
both are "Y" / 'YY'
one is "Y" / 'YN'
/ 'NY'
I tried using "\" before the ",", or using single or double quote, but all these do not work:(
How can I use a comma in the return values?
Thanks very much!

"Better still, why not process the code of both Y with 2Y and one is Y with 1Y? "
Could you please explain in detail? thanks! I am quite new to htmldb
In fact I have a table which has too columns "a1" and "a2", both the values of these two columns are "Y" or "N". AndI want to choose the records that both a1 and a2 are "Y", or just one of a1, a2 is "Y".
So I write the report sql like this:
"select * from t1 where a1 || a2 in(:MYSELECTLIST) "
Thus, I need to use "," in the LOV, since expression list in IN(,,,) using ",".
Any other way to implement this?

I don't have a solution for you, but just wanted to let you know I used to have the exact same problem. I resolved it (for the most part....about 90% of the time, anyway) by adjusting the screensaver and power settings to never let the computer go to sleep.

Suspiciously, it never seems to try to open a connection to the gateway. (Note that the gateway's IP address never appears in the log entries.)
I've configured the connection in nm-applet as follows:
Gateway: <internet IP address of the gateway/server I'm trying to VPN into>
Type: Static Key
Static Key: <the static key file>
Key direction: none
Remote IP address: 10.1.0.1
Local IP address: 10.1.0.2
When I launch openvpn from the command line, the conf file reads as follows:
[darose@daroselin ca]$ cat /etc/openvpn/static-client.conf
# Sample OpenVPN configuration file for
# office using a pre-shared static key.
# '#' or ';' may be used to delimit comments.
# Use a dynamic tun device.
# For Linux 2.2 or non-Linux OSes,
# you may want to use an explicit
# unit number such as "tun1".
# OpenVPN also supports virtual
# ethernet "tap" devices.

Anyone have any idea what the problem might be here?

If anyone's curious, I opened an upstream bug about this:
