Converting OBJECT Type into RECORD Type

folks,
Is there a way to Convert a OBJECT Type into a RECORD Type in Oracle PL/SQL, Because i have a stored procedure with RECORD Type as a IN parameter and as we know that we JDBC doesn't support calling or returning RECORD Types , So i was thinking of sending a OBJECT type and convert that to a RECORD type,
I appreciate any help with the code or point to the documentation,
thanks

How to convert object type to only Date type ?

Hii everyone,
I have a table in database and their is column called as date and its data type is DateTime
In my UI part i have taken a Datepeacker and what ever user selected that date i am storing in my Date properties which has the same data type DateTime and at the Insertion time the date inserting successfully but at the time of updating data i am getting
error that the Date is not correct format because in date property it having the value 23:12:2014 00:00:00 which is crate problem at the time of update. So how to solve this ?
Note : I am using VS2008 and using Datagrid inside datgrid what ever changes user make tat one i required to update ,below are my update code which done through datatable i.e
first i have done datatable dt=new datatable();
                              dt = EmpBusinessLayer.SelectManager(dd.Eno)
then my update logic is :
    for (int i= 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
                ee.Ename = dt.Rows[i][0].ToString();
                ee.Job = dt.Rows[i][1].ToString();
                ee.Dept = dt.Rows[i][2].ToString();
                ee.Gender = dt.Rows[i][3].ToString();
                ee.Status =Convert.ToInt32(dt.Rows[i][4]);
                ee.Dates = Convert.ToDateTime(dt.Rows[i][6]);// Hear i am getting value like 23.8.2104 00:00:00
                ee.Eno = Convert.ToInt32(dt.Rows[i][9]);
                cmd = new SqlCommand("update Employee set sEname='"+ee.Ename+"', sEJob='"+ee.Job+"', sEDept='"+ee.Dept+"',
sGender='"+ee.Gender+"', bStatus="+ee.Status+", dDates="+ee.Dates+" where iEmpNo="+ee.Eno, con);       // Hear Getting Error tat incorrect syntax 00
                if (con.State != ConnectionState.Open)
                    con.Open();
                if (cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() > 0)
                    return 1;

You could use the yyyy-MM-dd format by calling the ToString method on the DateTime object:
cmd = new SqlCommand("update Employee set sEname='"+ee.Ename+"', sEJob='"+ee.Job+"', sEDept='"+ee.Dept+"', sGender='"+ee.Gender+"', bStatus="+ee.Status+", dDates=" + ee.Dates.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") +" where iEmpNo="+ee.Eno, con);
Note that you should use parameters when create a command like this though:

Converting object wrapper type array into equivalent primary type array

Hi All!
My question is how to convert object wrapper type array into equivalent prime type array, e.g. Integer[] -> int[] or Float[] -> float[] etc.
Is sound like a trivial task however the problem is that I do not know the type I work with. To understand what I mean, please read the following code -
//Method signature
Object createArray( Class clazz, String value ) throws Exception;
//and usage should be as follows:
Object arr = createArray( Integer.class, "2%%3%%4" );
//"arr" will be passed as a parameter of a method again via reflection
public void compute( Object... args ) {
    a = (int[])args[0];
//or
Object arr = createArray( Double.class, "2%%3%%4" );
public void compute( Object... args ) {
    b = (double[])args[0];
//and the method implementation -
Object createArray( Class clazz, String value ) throws Exception {
     String[] split = value.split( "%%" );
     //create array, e.g. Integer[] or Double[] etc.
     Object[] o = (Object[])Array.newInstance( clazz, split.length );
     //fill the array with parsed values, on parse error exception will be thrown
     for (int i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
          Method meth = clazz.getMethod( "valueOf", new Class[]{ String.class });
          o[i] = meth.invoke( null, new Object[]{ split[i] });
     //here convert Object[] to Object of type int[] or double[] etc...
     /* and return that object*/
     //NB!!! I want to avoid the following code:
     if( o instanceof Integer[] ) {
          int[] ar = new int[o.length];
          for (int i = 0; i < o.length; i++) {
               ar[i] = (Integer)o;
          return ar;
     } else if( o instanceof Double[] ) {
     //...repeat "else if" for all primary types... :(
     return null;
Unfortunately I was unable to find any useful method in Java API (I work with 1.5).
Did I make myself clear? :)
Thanks in advance,
Pavel Grigorenko

I think I've found the answer myself ;-)
Never thought I could use something like int.class or double.class,
so the next statement holds int[] q = (int[])Array.newInstance( int.class, 2 );
and the easy solution is the following -
Object primeArray = Array.newInstance( token.getPrimeClass(), split.length );
for (int j = 0; j < split.length; j++) {
     Method meth = clazz.getMethod( "valueOf", new Class[]{ String.class });
     Object val = meth.invoke( null, new Object[]{ split[j] });
     Array.set( primeArray, j, val );
}where "token.getPrimeClass()" return appropriate Class, i.e. int.class, float.class etc.

Fetch into object type

Oracle 10.2.0.5.0
Using Pl/SQL Developer
Hi I'm new to collections, object types etc, so I aologize for any poor wording and missed concepts...
I need to output a ref cursor from my package (for a summary report in SQL Server Reporting Services 2005). The summary report has two fields that come from the database table and 5 calculated fields. My idea for creating the ref cursor is as follows:
1. Define an object type at the schema level
2. Define a table (collection) type at the schema level
3. Define a ref cursor at the package level
4. Using dynamic SQL create a sql statement creating virtual columns for the 5 calculated fields
5. Fetch cursor with dynamic sql into object type one record at a time
6. Calculate the other five field values and update the object for each record processed
7. Add the object 'record' to the table (collection) after each record is processed
8. After the fetch is complete, convert the table to a ref cursor for returning to my application
Here is what I have so far. I have cut out several of the calculated fields for simplicities sake. It is not complete and I don't know how to fetch the database row into the object, nor convert the collection to a ref cursor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Then I am not sure how to do the cast to get the table to a ref cursor. Something like this?
open curout for SELECT *
FROM TABLE (CAST (srvCtrTbl AS srvCtr_sum_tbl_of_recs))
ORDER BY zoneNo, distTx;

Ok, so after more research if seems that in 10.2 you cannot assign an object (SQL) type to a ref cursor (PLSQL). SO i changed my direction and used a global temp table - created at the schema level.
Create global temporary table dlyout.srvCtr_summary (

                           zonetx varchar2(15),

                           MEError varchar2(1)
) on commit delete rows;Here is what the procedure looks like now.

Use TYPE RECORD or Create Object TYPE to build Collection?

Hi All,
I need to pull in data from our ERP system via a DB Link to keep some of our Web Data up to date. I wasn't sure if I should pull the data into my collection by creating a TYPE RECORD or Creating an Object Type and fillng it that way. Is there a preferrable method?
Record:
TYPE ItemInventory IS RECORD (
ProductID Products.ProductID%TYPE,
Qty Products.QTY%TYPE);
Object:
Create Type ProdObj as Object(
ProductID Products.ProductID%TYPE,
QTY Products.QTY%TYPE);
Maybe both are suitable....wasn't sure.
Any suggestions/info is greatly apprecaited.

We have a complex view we use from our ERP system that allows us to pull all of our available inventory and update our website with that information. What I was thinking I would do is refactor the current procedures that are in place to update this information and pull that views information into a collection so that I could speed up the update process.The basic difference between the two is that one is a dumb record structure (similar to a C struct), whereas the other is an intelligent class (similar to a class definition in Java/C++). It can have methods and constructors.
The next major difference is that one can only be use in the PL language and not in SQL. The record struct is a PL data type definition. PL cannot provide SQL engine support for it.
On the other hand, the SQL type definition is supported by both the PL and SQL languages. This allows the type to be transparently used in both languages.
I usually prefer the SQL type definition approach in general, as it allows for more flexibility.
However, for pure collection processing in PL/SQL, there's very little to choose between the two approaches as they serve the exact same purpose - increasing performance by decreasing context switching between the PL and SQL engines.
So you need to look beyond mere bulk collection and bulk processing to decide on which approach to use. For example, a SQL type definition allows for a standard SQL projection from cursors, enabling PL/SQL code to be cursor agnostic (as each cursor, irrespective of the table(s) queried, returns the same object type). However, if the aim is simply to bulk collect from that specific cursor, then it is a lot simpler to use a PL record struct.

Invoke Web service - WSDL error "Object of type 'System.Int32' cannot be converted to type 'System.UInt64'."

Hello,
I'm having a problem when I try to load the WSDL file for the "Invoke Web Service" activity.
I'm trying to create a connection between Orchestrator 2012 R2 and Cisco Unified CM through a Web Services. When I click the WSDL file and I click the "Format Hint" button appears the following error "Object of type 'System.Int32' can not be

The WSDL file that Cisco Unified CM I exported another work tools, tested and working well. In Orchestrator just gives the error.
Can anyone help with this?

"Property value is not valid" when PropertyGridView tries to convert a string to a custom object type.

Hi,
I have a problem with an PropertyGrid enum property that uses a type converter.
In general it works, but when I double clicking or using the scoll wheel, an error message appears:
"Property value is not valid"
Details: "Object of type 'System.String' cannot be converted to type 'myCompany.myProject.CC_myCustomProperty."
I noticed that the CommitValue method (in PropertyGridView.cs) tries to convert a string value to a CC_myCustomProperty object.

Instantiate com.waveset.object.Type into Type[]

I am trying to instantiate com.waveset.object.Type into Type[]. I am trying execute method exportObjects(Type[] types, java.lang.String filename, BulkMonitor monitor). I can write it in java doing something like _wsSess.exportObjects(new Type[]{Type.findType(type)}, out, null); but having trouble doing in xpress or javascript. Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
To get all the types, you can use:

to get specific ones:

<invoke name='getType' class='com.waveset.object.Type'>

JPublisher: oracle...literal.AttributeMap not translated into object type

Hi,
I have a problem to get a valid PL/SQL wrapper for the web-service at http://adostest.armstrongconsulting.com/DSX/DocumentServices.asmx?wsdl
I use jpub to generate the web service callout (jar file and pl/sql wrapper) and the generation of that file completes without an error, but if I try to load the pl/sql package into the database it fails, because one of the generated object types has an invalid definition.
-- Create SQL type for oracle.j2ee.ws.common.encoding.literal.AttributeMap
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE OBJ_AttributeMap AS OBJECT (); The object type for the java class oracle.j2ee.ws.common.encoding.literal.AttributeMap doesn't contain any attributes.
Software used:
-) Latest JPublisher 10g Release 10.2 (http://download.oracle.com/otn/utilities_drivers/jdbc/10201/jpub_102.zip)
-) 10.1.3.1 Callout Utility for 10g and 11g RDBMS (http://download.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/jsp/dbws-callout-utility-10131.zip)
-) Oracle DB 10.2.0.3
Command used to generate files:
jpub -proxywsdl="http://adostest.armstrongconsulting.com/DSX/DocumentServices.asmx?wsdl" -proxyopts=noload -package=ados -plsqlpackage=ADOS_WebServiceBTW, I noticed that the dbwsa.jar contains this class, but the "runtime" classes contained in dbwsclientws.jar which are loaded into the database do not contain this class. If I look into the previous version of the Callout Utility (10.1.3.0) at http://download.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/jsp/dbws-callout-utility-10R2.zip it is contained in the dbwsclient.jar which is loaded into the database.
What is wrong or what can I do to get a valid object type mapping?
Thanks
Patrick

Yes. We are calling a .NET web service as well.
I got around the problem by the following steps:
1. Forcing JPub to use the jar files that come with JDeveloper 10.1.3.3, rather than dbwsa.jar and dbwsclientws.jar.
2. Upload the JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 web service libraries into the database
3. Manually edit the JPub wrapper code (static methods) generated by JPub. I have to comment out all references to AttributeMap. Not sure why JPub wants to use it...

Help in using record type and object type

Hi Experts,
I am new to object types and record types.
I want to return the output of this query using one OUT parameter
from the procedure using RECORD type or OBJECT type.
with out using refcursor.
SELECT empno,ename,sal FROM emp WHERE deptno=30;
Let us assume the query is returning 50 records.
I want to send those 50 records to OUT parameter using record type or object type.
Please provide the for the requirement code using RECORD TYPE and OBJECT TYPE separately.
Your earliest response is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I have tried this.But it ising not work
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE maultiplevalues_pkg
IS
TYPE t_record IS RECORD
(empno emp.empno%TYPE,
ename emp.ename%TYPE,
sal emp.sal%TYPE);
V_RECORD t_record;
TYPE t_type IS TABLE OF V_RECORD%TYPE;
PROCEDURE maultiplevalues_pROC(p_deptno IN emp.deptno%TYPE,
dept_result OUT t_type);
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE body maultiplevalues_pkg
IS
PROCEDURE maultiplevalues_pROC(p_deptno IN emp.deptno%TYPE,
dept_result OUT t_type)
is
begin
dept_result :=t_type();
for I in(
select EMPNO,ENAME,SAL from EMP WHERE deptno=p_deptno
LOOP
dept_result.extend;
dept_result(i).empno :=i.empno;
dept_result(i).ename :=i.ename;
dept_result(i).sal :=i.sal;
END LOOP;
END;
END;
Please help me OUT return multiple values through single OUT variable in a procedure.
Thanks.

Convert Object return type columns

Hi Team
Hi,
I have created a object type as
create type emp_obj_dtl as OBJECT (ename varchar2(50),mgr NUMBER)
create type emp_dtl_obj_typ as TABLE of emp_obj_dtl
Using the these object i have created on function as
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION emp_test_func (peno NUMBER)
RETURN emp_dtl_obj_typ
AS
lv_emp_dtl emp_dtl_obj_typ := emp_dtl_obj_typ ();
BEGIN
SELECT emp_dtl_obj_typ(emp_obj_dtl (ename, mgr))
INTO lv_emp_dtl
FROM emp
WHERE empno = peno;
RETURN lv_emp_dtl;
END;
Now if i am executig query as
SELECT empno, emp_test_func (empno) emp_dtls
FROM emp
It is returning me the data as
EMPNO | EMP_DTLS
7500 | (DATASET)
7382 | (DATASET)
7569 | (DATASET)
7800 | (DATASET)
But I want the result set as
EMPNO | ENAME | MGR
7500 | SMITH | 7863
7382 | JAMES | 7896
7569 | KING | 7856
7800 | SANGR | 7456
Appricate your help to get the resultset as above.
thank you & Rgrds

Don't really like the approach you've used in your sample code - in effect, that is caching SQL data using very expensive PL memory (called PGA). It is wrong for performance reasons. It is wrong for scalability reasons.
It is returning me the data as
EMPNO | EMP_DTLS
7500 | (DATASET)Correct. As the dataset is not a scalar data type like varchar2, date or number, but a complex object type. And not just a object type, but a collection (table) object type.
You need to decide how you want to treat that object data that the SQL projection returns.
Here's a more comprehensive example:
SQL> create or replace type TPerson as object (ename varchar2(50), empno number );
2 /
Type created.
SQL>
SQL> create or replace type TDirectReports as table of TPerson;
2 /
Type created.
SQL>
SQL> create or replace function DirectReports( manager number ) return TDirectReports as
2 -- returns list of employees that directly reports to manager
3          list    TDirectReports;
4 begin
5          select
6                  TPerson( InitCap(e.ename), e.empno ) bulk collect into list
7          from    emp e
8          where   e.mgr = manager
9          order by ename;
10
11          return( list );
12 end;
13 /
Function created.

14 rows selected.Note that the dataset is a collection object - that contains zero or more nested objects. In this case, a list of employees that directly reports to the current employee.
How can we use this collection object? Here is a basic example:

SQL> with MANAGER_LIST as(
2          select ename, DirectReports(empno) as "DIRECT_REPORTS" from emp
3 )

7          (select d.ename from TABLE(l.direct_reports) d where rownum = 1) as "1ST_EMPLOYEE",
8          (select max(d.empno) from TABLE(l.direct_reports) d ) as "LAST_EMPLOYEE"

14 rows selected.Just note that this example merely illustrates how to use and reference objects in SQL. This is not the preferred way to address the problem it does - as the same could have been a lot easier achieved using a simple self-join.
So make sure that when you use objects in SQL, it is for the right technical reasons.

How to Convert OBJECT_TYPE to the Object Type Used for DBMS_METADATA?

How do you convert the object type in ALL_OBJECTS to the object type that DBMA_METADATA.GET_DDL expects?

maybe one needs to find a mapping between sys.metaview$ and all_objects:

Filling record object types dynamically

The example below shows the code to create two object types, and in the PL/SQL block the record object type is filled.
create type parameter_type as object
(name varchar2(30)
,value varchar2(250));
create type parameterset_type as table of parameter_type;
declare
l_parameters parameterset_type;
begin
l_parameters := parameterset_type
(parameter_type('par1', 'value1')
,parameter_type('par2', 'value2')
end;
Is it possible to fill the record object type in a more dynamic way than by a single assignment, as in the example? I would like to be able to create a loop in which I fill the rows one by one.
So something like:
declare
cursor c_prm is
select name
from parameters
order by seqnr;
begin
for r_prm in c_prm
loop
-- add parameter c_prm.name to parameterlist
end loop;
end;

just guessing but in that case, build an array or table where you can put every record.
type t_dummy is table of parameter_type;
declare
v_dummy t_dummy := t_dummy(null);
v_dummy.extend;
v_dummy(i) := parameterset_type
(parameter_type(r_prm.name, 'value1');

Convert variable type f into variable type p decimals 2

Hi,
How can i convert a type f variable into a type p decimals 2 variable?
I'm trying to make this division:
var type f.
var1 type p decimals 2
var = 50 / 100.
the result is:
var = 5.0000000000000000E-01
if i do
move var to var1.
the result is:
var1 = 0.01 ???
can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

DATA: var type f,
var1 type p decimals 2.
var = 50 / 100.
WRITE:/ var.
move var to var1.
WRITE:/ var1.
Result is: 0.50
I don't see what's your problem...
Greetings,
Blag.
