Can we Pass Table or Collection in procedure

Hello All,
i want to know that can we pass normal tables or PL/SQL tables as parameters to a procedure or function in Oracle 8i/9i.
If yes the pls let me with an example
Thanks in advance

can we pass normal tables or PL/SQL tables as parameters Normal tables, no. Their data as resultsets, yes, using REF CURSOR parameters. we can use collections as paarmeters.
If yes the pls let me with an example We use them just like any other parameter. Does the documentation have examples? of course it does!!

Passing table name to a procedure and then need to open a cursor ..

Hi All,
I have been out of touch in plsql for sometime and need to do something like :
passing table name to a procedure while calling(fp_table_old captures this value) and then need to open a cursor for this table in 'for i in (select * from fp_table_old )', one of the ways I tried is : for i in (execute immediate Lv_sql_query ) but its not working for me, please find the code below for reference, I know I am sounding stupid but I have been very out of touch, please help.
code :
create procedure p_table_compare(fp_table_old in varchar2, fp_table_new in varchar2)
as
Lv_sql_query varchar2(2000);
begin
     Lv_sql_query := 'select * from '||fp_table_old;
     for i in (Lv_sql_query)
     loop
          dbms_output.put_line(i.employee_id);
     end loop;
end;

How can i pass the parameter for strored procedure from java

dear all,
I am very new for stored procedure
1. I want to write the strored procedure for insert.
2. How can i pass the parameter for that procedure from java.
if any material available in internet create procedure and call procedure from java , and passing parameter to procedure from java

Hi Ram,
To call the callable statement use the below sample.
stmt = conn.prepareCall("{call <procedure name>(?,?)}");
stmt.setString(1,value);//Input parameter
stmt.registerOutParameter(2,Types.BIGINT);//Output parameter
stmt.execute();
seq = (int)stmt.getLong(2);//Getting the result from the procedure.

Passing Table Name to Stored Procedure for From Clause

Is it possible to pass a table name to a stored procedure to be used in the From clause? I have the same task to perform with numerous tables and I'd like to use the same SP and just pass the table name in. Something like this:
=======================================
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP_TEST(
in_TABLE IN VARCHAR2,
AS
V_TABLE VARCHAR2(10);
BEGIN
V_TABLE := 'st_' || in_TABLE; -- in_TABLE is 2-3 character string
SELECT some_columns
INTO some_variables
FROM V_TABLE
WHERE some_conditions...;
END;
=======================================
I'm also using the passed table name to assign to variables in the Select and Where clauses. What I'm getting is an error that V_TABLE must be declared. When I hard code the table name, I don't get any errors, even though I'm also using the same method to assign values in the Select and Where clauses.
Thanks,
Ed Holloman

You need to use dynamic SQL whenever you are swapping out object names (tables, columns).
create or replace procedure sp_test
(in_table in varchar2)
is
-- variables
begin
execute immediate 'select a, b, c from st_' || in_table || ' where x = :xval and y = :yval'
into v_a, v_b, v_c using v_x, v_y;
end;

Can be passed Formula Column value to Procedure/Function?

Below cf_value is return after some calculation by using main query.
Can be directly passed formula column value to procedure without assinged to placeorder?
as below..
f_convert(:cf_value,new_value);
My Procedure is...
PROCEDURE f_convert( val1 in number,val2 in out number) IS
BEGIN
val2 := val1 * 100;
END;
If anyone knows pls reply me....

Actually, if there is any other calculations there (In Proceudre)
Can I used is as below??
PROCEDURE f_convert( val1 in number,val2 in out number) IS
BEGIN
val2 := val1 * 100;
return (val2);
END;
----A procedure cannot return a value, the return clause in my previous post was part of the function for formula column.
Suppose you have a formula column say CF_2 then the function for it will be as:
function cf_2formula return number
is
val1 number;
val2 number;
begin
val2 := :cf_1 * 100; -- or val2 := val1 * 100 --parameters not allowed in formula column function
-- All the other code that you need inclusive of calling function, procedure as in any PL/SQL block can be placed
return (val2);
end;So any other calculation can be used in the formula column function

How can i pass NULL value in Store Procedure?

Hi guys,
I am calling one store procedure from MS SQL Server 200, i had create the follow layout:
But i need pass to MSQL SEVER the CPF = NULL, when i execute the procedre the CPF send empty value (not null).
I already changed Communication Channel parammeter "Interpretation of Empty String Values" to "Null Value" value.
But the interface always send empty string instead of null.
How can anybody help me, please?
Edited by: João Noberto dos Santos Junior on Jun 24, 2009 5:00 PM

Hi,
To achieve this through "Interpretation of Empty String Value" in the cc, you will have to implement a patch which is sent to you by SAP when an OSS is raised. By default its not available, i mean you can configure it but it will actually not work.
As a temporary solution you can map your element with a constant/mapwithdefault field with value mentioned as NULL.

Can we pass temporary result set to the procedure?

Hi,
The result set is stored in a temporary storage. Can we pass that resultset to the procedure?
Thanks and regards
Gowtham Sen.

I'm still unclear just what this result set is... Is is a table or a cursor or something else?
If you imply the physical result set of a SQL query, there is no such thing in Oracle. Oracle does not create and store a result set in memory containing the rows of the SQL SELECT. Creating such sets in memory does not scale. A single SELECT on such a database can kill the performance of the entire database by exhasuting all memory with a single large physical result set.
Oracle "results" live in the database cache (residing in the SGA). Rows (as data blocks) are paged into and out of this case as demand dictates. When PL/SQL code, for example, fetches a row, the SQL engine grabs the row from the db cache (SGA) and copies it to the PGA (the private memory area of the PL/SQL process). The row also may not yet exist in the db cache - in which case it needs a physical read from disk to get the data block containing that row into the db cache (after which it is copied to the PGA).
A PL/SQL process can do a bulk fetch - e.g. fetch a 100 rows from the SQL query/cursor at a time. In that case, a 100 rows are copied from the SGA db cache to the PGA.
At no time is there are single large unique and dedicated memory struct in the SGA that contains the complete "result set" of a SQL query.
Once you have fetched that row, that is it. Deal is done. You cannot reverse the cursor and fetch the row again. After you have fetched the last row in that cursor, you cannot pass that cursor to another process - the cursor is now empty. That other process cannot rewind the cursor and start fetching from the 1st row again. You will need to pass the SQL to that process in order for it to create its own cursor - also keeping in mind that in between the rows can have changed and that this other process could now see different results with its cursor.
If you want to create such a physical temporary result set that is consistent and re-usable, you can use a temporary table - and insert the results of the SELECT into this temp table for further processing. This temp table is session specific and is auto destroyed when the session terminates.
A comment though - it sounds like you're approaching the date warehouse processing (scrubbing, transformation and loading of data) as a row-by-row process.
That is a flawed approach. Row-by-row processing does not scale. One should deal with data sets. Especially when the volumes are large. One should also attempt to perform minimal passes through a data set. Processing a bunch of rows, then passing that rows to another process to do some processing on the same rows.. this means multiple passes through the same data. That is very inefficient performance and resource wise.

Pass table name as parameter in prepared Statement

Can I pass table name as parameter in prepared Statement
for example
select * from ? where name =?
when i use setString method for passing parameters this method append single colon before and after of this parameter but table name should be send with out colon as SQL Spec.
I have another way to make sql query in programing but i have a case where i have limitation of that thing so please tell me is it possible with prepared Statment SetXXx methods or not ?
Thanks

How can I pass multiple condition in where clause with the join table?

Hi:
I need to collect several inputs at run time, and query the record according to the input.
How can I pass multiple conditions in where clause with the join table?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
TD

If you are using SQL-Plus or Reports you can use lexical parameters like:
SELECT * FROM emp &condition;
When you run the query it will ask for value of condition and you can enter what every you want. Here is a really fun query:
SELECT &columns FROM &tables &condition;
But if you are using Forms. Then you have to change the condition by SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY.
Best of luck!

Help passing table name as parameter to a procedure

Hello,
i'm trying to write a procedure that takes a table name as input and uses a cursor to select a column,count(1) from the passed table to the cursor. The procedure i've come up with is as follows,
CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE excur(
p_tbl user_tables.table_name%type )
AS
type rc is ref cursor;
c rc;
res BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
open c for 'SELECT columnA,COUNT(1) FROM'|| p_tbl||';';
close c;
END excur;When i try to execute it, an error pops up informing that a table cannot be used in this context. As in i cannot pass a table name as an argument to a procedure. Kindly guide as to how to solve this situation.

That aside, what do you want to return? You're selecting a column and applying an aggregate function (count) but you're not grouping, that doesn't usually work out too well.
TUBBY_TUBBZ?select owner, count(*) from all_objects;
select owner, count(*) from all_objects

Passing Tables back from Java Stored Procedures

Thomas Kyte has written (in reference to
trying to pass an array back from a stored
function call):
You can do one of two things (and both require the use of
objects). You cannot use PLSQL table types as JDBC cannot bind to
this type -- we must use OBJECT Types.
[snip]
Another way is to use a result set and "select * from
plsql_function". It could look like this:
ops$tkyte@8i> create or replace type myTableType as table of
varchar2 (64);
2 /
Type created.
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i> create or replace
2 function demo_proc2( p_rows_to_make_up in number )
3 return myTableType
4 as
5 l_data myTableType := myTableType();
6 begin
7 for i in 1 .. p_rows_to_make_up
8 loop
9 l_data.extend;
10 l_data(i) := 'Made up row ' | | i;
11 end loop;
12 return l_data;
13 end;
14 /
Function created.
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i> select *
2 from the ( select cast( demo_proc2(5) as mytableType )
3 from dual );
COLUMN_VALUE
Made up row 1
Made up row 2
Made up row 3
Made up row 4 [Image]
Made up row 5
So, your JDBC program would just run the query to get the data.
If the function "demo_proc2" cannot be called from SQL for
whatever reason (eg: it calls an impure function in another piece
of code or it itself tries to modify the database via an insert
or whatever), you'll just make a package like:
ops$tkyte@8i> create or replace package my_pkg
2 as
3
4 procedure Make_up_the_data( p_rows_to_make_up in
number ); 5 function Get_The_Data return myTableType;
6 end;
7 /
Package created.
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i> create or replace package body my_pkg
2 as
3
4 g_data myTableType;
5
6 procedure Make_up_the_data( p_rows_to_make_up in number )
7 as
8 begin
9 g_data := myTableType();
10 for i in 1 .. p_rows_to_make_up
11 loop
12 g_data.extend;
13 g_data(i) := 'Made up row ' | | i;
14 end loop;
15 end;
16
17
18 function get_the_data return myTableType
19 is
20 begin
21 return g_data;
22 end;
23
24 end;
25 /
Package body created.
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i> exec my_pkg.make_up_the_data( 3 );
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i> select *
2 from the ( select cast( my_pkg.get_the_data as mytableType
) 3 from dual );
COLUMN_VALUE
Made up row 1
Made up row 2
Made up row 3
And you'll call the procedure followed by a query to get the
data...
I have tried this, and it works perfectly.
My question, is what does the wrapper look
like if the stored function is written
in java instead of PL/SQL? My experiments
with putting the function in java have been
dismal failures. (I supposed I should also
ask how the java stored procedure might
look also, as I suppose that could be where
I have been having a problem)
null

Thanks for the response Avi, but I think I need to clarify my question. The articles referenced in your link tended to describe using PL/SQL ref cursors in Java stored procedures and also the desire to pass ref cursors from Java to PL/SQL programs. Unfortunately, what I am looking to do is the opposite.
We currently have several Java stored procedures that are accessed via select statements that have become a performance bottleneck in our system. Originally the business requirements were such that only a small number of rows were ever selected and passed into the Java stored procedures. Well, business requirements have changed and now thousands and potentially tens of thousands of rows can be passed in. We benchmarked Java stored procedures vs. PL/SQL stored procedures being accessed via a select statement and PL/SQL had far better performance and scaleable. So, our thought is by decouple the persistence logic into PL/SQL and keeping the business logic in Java stored procedures we can increase performance without having to do a major rewrite of the existing code. This leads to the current problem.
What we currently do is select into a Java stored procedure which has many database access calls. What we would like to do is select against a PL/SQL stored procedure to aggregate the data and then pass that data via a ref cursor (or whatever structure is acceptable) to a Java stored procedure. This would save us a significant amount of work since the current Java stored procedures would simple need to be changed to not make database calls since the data would be handed to them.
Is there a way to send a ref cursor from PL/SQL as an input parameter to a Java stored procedure? My call would potentially look like this:
SELECT java_stored_proc(pl/sql_stored_proc(col_id))
FROM table_of_5000_rows;
Sorry for the lengthy post.
