Creating universe from MySql stored procedure?

Hi,
I am new to BusinessObjects. I need to create universes based on the schema in our MySql database. However, when I tried to create one from a stored procedure, I fount that I wasn't allowed to do that or the option to insert a stored procedure was grayed out.
Is it true that universe creation from MySql stored procedures not supported, or is it just something I didn't do right? Is there any workaround?
Thanks in advance!

jason Lee,
You cannot combine universes with table structures with that of the stored procedures.Thats the reason in the existing universe the option is greyed out to insert stored procedures. You need to create a new universe thru design wizard and check the option to "create a universe through the stored procedure" in the first page.
Let me know your results
Thanks,
Karthik

  • Need coding support for Accessing MYSQL stored procedure from java

    Hi every one,
    I need coding support for accessing Mysql stored procedure from java and JSP.
    Please help me

    You'd better have a recent version of MySQL, because earlier ones didn't support stored procs.
    If your MySQL and driver support stored procs, maybe you just need a JDBC stored proc tutorial.

  • Problem Obtaining multiple results from MySql Stored Proc via JDBC

    I've spent alot of time on this and I'd be really grateful for anyones help please!
    I have written a java class to execute a MySQL stored procedure that does an UPDATE and then a SELECT. I want to handle the resultset from the SELECT AND get a count of the number of rows updated by the UPDATE. Even though several rows get updated by the stored proc, getUpdateCount() returns zero.
    It's like following the UPDATE with a SELECT causes the updatecount info to be lost. I tried it in reverse: SELECT first and UPDATE last and it works properly. I can get the resultset and the updatecount.
    My Stored Procedure:
    delimiter $$ CREATE PROCEDURE multiRS( IN drugId int, IN drugPrice decimal(8,2) ) BEGIN UPDATE drugs SET DRUG_PRICE = drugPrice WHERE DRUG_ID > drugId; SELECT DRUG_ID, DRUG_NAME, DRUG_PRICE FROM Drugs where DRUG_ID > 7 ORDER BY DRUG_ID ASC; END $$
    In my program (below) callablestatement.execute() returns TRUE even though the first thing I do in my stored proc is an UPDATE not a SELECT. Is this at odds with the JDBC 2 API? Shouldn't it return false since the first "result" returned is NOT a resultset but an updatecount? Does JDBC return any resultsets first by default, even if INSERTS, UPDATES happened in the stored proc before the SELECTs??
    Excerpt of my Java Class:
    // Create CallableStatement CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall("CALL multiRS(?,?)"); // Register input parameters ........ // Execute the Stored Proc boolean getResultSetNow = cs.execute(); int updateCount = -1; System.out.println("getResultSetNow: " +getResultSetNow); while (true) { if (getResultSetNow) { ResultSet rs = cs.getResultSet(); while (rs.next()) { // fully process result set before calling getMoreResults() again! System.out.println(rs.getInt("DRUG_ID") +", "+rs.getString("DRUG_NAME") +", "+rs.getBigDecimal("DRUG_PRICE")); } rs.close(); } else { updateCount = cs.getUpdateCount(); if (updateCount != -1) { // it's a valid update count System.out.println("Reporting an update count of " +updateCount); } } if ((!getResultSetNow) && (updateCount == -1)) break; // done with loop, finished all the returns getResultSetNow = cs.getMoreResults(); }
    The output of running the program at command line:
    getResultSetNow: true 28, Apple, 127.00 35, Orange, 127.00 36, Bananna, 127.00 37, Berry, 127.00 Reporting an update count of 0
    During my testing I have noticed:
    1. According to the Java documentation execute() returns true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if the first result is an update count or there is no result. In my java class callablestatement.execute() will return TRUE if in the stored proc the UPDATE is done first and then the SELECT last or vica versa.
    2. My java class (above) is coded to loop through all results returned from the stored proc in succession. Running this class shows that any resultsets are returned first and then update counts last regardless of the order in which they appear in the stored proc. Maybe there is nothing unusual here, it may be that Java is designed to return any Resultsets first by default even if they didn't happen first in the stored procedure?
    3. In my stored procedure, if the UPDATE happens last then callablestatement.getUpdateCount() will return the correct number of updated rows.
    4. If the UPDATE is followed by a SELECT (see above) then callablestatement.getUpdateCount() will return ZERO even though rows were updated.
    5. I tested it with the stored proc doing SELECT - UPDATE - SELECT and again getUpdateCount() returns ZERO.
    6. I tested it with the stored proc doing SELECT - UPDATE - SELECT - UPDATE and this time getUpdateCount() returns the number rows updated by the last UPDATE and not the first.
    My Setup:
    Mac OS X 10.3.9
    Java 1.4.2
    mysql database 5.0.19
    mysql-connector 5.1.10 (connector/J)
    Maybe I have exposed a bug in JDBC?

    Jschell thank you for your response.
    I certainly don't mean to be rude but I often get taken that way. I like to state facts as I see them. I'd love to be proved wrong because then I would understand why my code doesn't work!
    Doesn't matter to me if you are rude or not. Rudeness actually makes it more entertaining for me so that is a plus. Nothing I have seen suggests rudeness.
    In response to your post:
    When a MySql stored procedure has multiple sql statements such as SELECT and UPDATE these statements each produce what the Java API documentation refers to as 'results'. A Java class can cycle through these 'results' using callableStatement dot getMoreResults(), getResultSet() and getUpdateCount() to retrieve the resultset object produced by Select queries and updateCount produced by Inserts, Deletes and Updates.
    As I read your question it seems to me that you have already proven that it does not in fact do that?
    You don't have to read this but in case you think I'm mistaken, there is more detail in the following website under the heading 'Using the Method execute':
    http://docsrv.sco.com/JDK_guide/jdbc/getstart/statement.doc.html#1000107
    Sounds reasonable. But does not your example code prove that this is not what happens for the database and driver that you are using?
    Myself I dont trust update counts at all since, in my experience some databases do not return them. And per other reports sometimes they don't return the correct value either.
    So there are two possibilities - your code is wrong or the driver/database does not do it. For me I would also question whether in the future the driver/database would continue to behave the same if you did find some special way to write your SQL so it does do it. And of course you would also need to insure that every proc that needed this would be written in this special way. Hopefully not too many of those.
    So this functionality is built into java but is not in common use amongst programmers. My java class did successfully execute a stored proc which Selected from and then finally Updated a table. My code displayed the contents of the Select query and told me how many rows were affected by the update.
    It isn't "built into java". It isn't built into jdbc either. If it works at all then the driver and by proxy the database are responsible for it. I suspect that you would be hard pressed to find anything in the JDBC spec that requires what that particular link claims. I believe it is difficult to find anything that suggests that update counts in any form are required.
    So you are left with hoping that a particular driver does do it.
    I suppose it is rare that you would want to do things this way. Returning rowcounts in OUT parameters would be easier but I want my code to be modular enough to cover the situation where a statement may return more than one ResultSet object, more than one update count, or a combination of ResultSet objects and update counts. The sql may need to be generated dynamically, its statements may be unknown at compile time. For instance a user might have a form that allows them to build their own queries...
    Any time I see statements like that it usually makes me a bit uncomfortable. If I am creating data layers I either use an existing framework or I generate the code. For the latter there is no generalization of the usage. Every single operation is laid out in its own code.
    And I have in fact created generalized frameworks in the past before. I won't do it again. Benefits of the other idioms during maintenance are too obvious.

  • PHP / MySQL / Stored Procedures

    I'm trying to call a stored procedure on my site which uses
    php / mySQL 5.x. I've got the procedure working in the database so
    that when I call it from within a MySQL client it executes and
    returns the results I need, but Dreamweaver doesn't even "see" the
    stored procedure.
    By this I mean If I use the recordset wizard, go to advanced,
    select the relevant database and then expand the Stored Procedures
    tab none are listed.
    Searching through Adobe help, it lists nothing about Stored
    Procedures with PHP/MySQL apart from that MySQL doesn't support
    them. The later versions of MySQL do support Stored Procedures, but
    has anyone got them working with Dreamweaver? If so how!??!!
    Any help much appreciated.

    Stored procedures have been available in MySQL only since
    version 5.0,
    which was released in October 2005, one month after
    Dreamweaver 8. It
    would have been nice to include support for stored procedures
    in CS3,
    but no new functionality was added to any of the server-side
    features of
    Dreamweaver. I have my fingers crossed for next time.

    My server doesn't support MySQL 5.0, so apart from the
    information in
    the MySQL documentation, I don't know a great deal about
    using stored
    procedures:
    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/stored-procedures.html
    One of the problems is that many hosting companies are still
    using older
    versions of MySQL (a lot still offer only 3.23). I'm
    currently in the
    process of moving to a new server with support for both PHP 5
    and MySQL
    5.0. Once I've had time to experiment, I hope to know a lot
    more.

  • Get variable values from a stored procedure

    I am using SQL 2008R2 and I want to replace a view inside a stored procedure with a new stored procedure to return multiple variable values. Currently I am using the code below to get values for 4 different variables.  I would rather get the 4 variables
    from a stored procedure (which returns all of these 4 values and more) but not sure how to do so.  Below is the code for getting the 4 variable values in my current sp.
    DECLARE @TotalCarb real;
    DECLARE @TotalPro real;
    DECLARE @TotalFat real;
    DECLARE @TotalLiquid real;
    SELECT @TotalCarb = ISNULL(TotCarb,0),
    @TotalPro = ISNULL(TotPro,0),
    @TotalFat = ISNULL(TotFat,0),
    @TotalLiquid = ISNULL(TotLiq,0)
    FROM dbo.vw_ActualFoodTotals
    WHERE (MealID = @MealID);

    You can replace the view with inline table valued user-defined function:

  • Retruring Multiple rows from a Stored Procedure

    The Oracle JDBC documentation shows how to return a cursor pointer through the parameter list of a stored procedure allowing a Java program to use the cursor like a normal result set. I've tried it (using the thin driver) and it works fine - however, I'm having trouble getting this to work running the program under a Weblogic server (using their own JDBC implementation). So, I have two questions:
    1) Has anyone had this problem before and solved it ??
    2) Are there any other techniques for getting multiple rows back from the database without having to fire "raw" sql at it ?

    Hi
    You could return not resultset but array, for example:
    PACKAGE TEST:
    type string_table is table of varchar2(80)
    index by binary_integer;
    function get_something (
    something1 out string_table,
    arraylength in number
    ) return number;
    PACKAGE'S BODY:
    function get_something (
    something1 out string_table,
    arraylength in number /** length of the array **/
    ) return number as
    cursor C is
    select something1, ...
    from test_table;
    pos number := 1;
    begin
    for position in C loop
    exit when (pos > arraylength);
    something1(pos) := position.something1;
    pos := pos + 1;
    end loop;
    return (pos - 1);
    end;
    Of course in this example you need to know length of your array
    (arraylength parameter), but you can avoid such problem, for
    example, by using DBMS_SQL package (or dynamic SQL feature in
    the Oracle8i).

  • Calling stored procedure from a stored procedure

    I have a stored procedure that accepts a customer prefix like "abc" and returns a customer document number like "abc-0021". (Thanks V Garcia)
    This sp works when I call it from SQL Plus Worksheet.
    But I need to call it from another stored procedure and store it in a local variable so that I can insert it into a table with the rest of the information.
    This is what I have tried so far:
    CREATE OR REPLACE  PROCEDURE "SCHEMANAME"."SP_XXTESTXX" ( seq_name in
        varchar2)
    AS
          id_out varchar(10);
    BEGIN
       execute SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER(seq_name,:id_out);
       print id_out;
    END;but this will not compile. I get this error:
    Line # = 8 Column # = 12 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER" when expecting one of the following:     := . ( @ % ; immediate The symbol ":=" was substituted for "SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER" to continue.

    I think I got it.
    CREATE OR REPLACE  PROCEDURE "SCHEMANAME"."SP_XXTESTXX" ( seq_name in

      id_out varchar(10);
    BEGIN

      dbms_output.put_line(id_out);
    END;This works like I wanted it to do.

  • Set page item from a stored procedure

    Dear reader
    We would like to have a stored procedure to run every 10 minutes. When the procedure starts, the user has to be warned that the update process is running.
    When the procedure is finished, the user should receive a message that the update process is finished.
    What I had in mind was to set a Page 0 item 'P0_REFRESH' and set his value depending on the status of the update. Then add a dynamic action with a change event. So everytime the value of this page item changes, the user will receive a correct message.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to set a page item from a stored procedure?
    Kind regards
    Xnni

    AndyPol
    I found a solution by querying the user_jobs table. In Apex, I created two page 0 items that hold the current status of the job (online, offline) and the old value of the job.
    Online of offline in the current status item is determined by a decode on "this_sec".
    The enext step was to include a html region in P0 that contains some javascript. This javascript will display a message when the values of the new status is different from the old status ;)
    Many thanks for bringing up the ideas.

  • Call a Vbscript from a stored procedure

    Hi,
    I wonder is it possible to call a Vbscript from a stored procedure, any good reference for this.
    thanks

    Well here is quick and dirty example I just created.
    Step 1. Create a test_batch.bat file that creates a folder "c:\test_dir" and copy "c:emp.lst" into it.
    C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat
    md c:\test_dir
    copy c:\emp.lst c:\test_dir
    Step2. From SQLPLUS, spool scott.emp into c:\emp.lst and call the batch from the dbms_scheduler that kicks off right away,
    set echo off
    set feedback off
    spool c:\emp.lst;
    select * from scott.emp;
    spool off;
    begin
         dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name => 'run_batch',
         job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
         job_action => 'C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat',
         start_date => sysdate,
         enabled => true,
         comments => 'Run VB Script');
    end;
    Check if the directory is created and if the file is copied over. Task is to kick off the executable and test is the VBscript within the batch. Challenge is how long the script runs before the next statement in the PL/SQL runs. May be you have to introduce sleep in between.
    Note: You must have at least "CREATE JOB" privilege.
    Happy coding!

  • Returning a table from a stored procedure

    hi, i need to return a table from a stored procedure and show it, and come to this, but a don't know hoy to run it, so i don't know if it is right, can anyone help me?
    uTable out objects_uptime%rowtype
    as
    begin
    select * into uTable from objects_uptime;
    end;

    well, i finally discovered how to do the trick
    this is the code for the function:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FN_GET_RECORDS RETURN UPTIME PIPELINED IS
    CURSOR cUptime is select * from objects_uptime;
    p refcur.refcur_t;
    temp p%ROWTYPE;
    temp2 OUPTIME := OUPTIME(null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null);
    BEGIN
    OPEN cUptime;
    LOOP
    FETCH cUptime into temp;
    temp2.OBJ_NAME := temp.OBJ_NAME;
    temp2.IP := temp.IP;
    temp2.STATUS := temp.STATUS;
    temp2.DOE := temp.DOE;
    temp2.ENABLED := temp.ENABLED;
    temp2.COMMENT00000 := temp.COMMENT00000;
    temp2.USERID := temp.USERID;
    temp2.OBJECTID := temp.OBJECTID;
    temp2.MNTID := temp.MNTID;
    pipe row(temp2);
    EXIT WHEN cUptime%NOTFOUND;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN;
    END FN_GET_RECORDS;
    and this for the auxiliar package, object and table:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE REFCUR
    as
    TYPE refcur_t IS REF CURSOR RETURN objects_uptime%ROWTYPE;
    end REFCUR;
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE OUPTIME AS OBJECT ( "OBJ_NAME"
    VARCHAR2(255), "IP" VARCHAR2(20), "STATUS" VARCHAR2(10),
    "DOE" DATE, "ENABLED" NUMBER(10, 1), "COMMENT00000"
    VARCHAR2(1000), "USERID" VARCHAR2(50), "OBJECTID" NUMBER(10,
    1), "MNTID" NUMBER(10, 1) )
    CREATE TYPE TUPTIME AS
    TABLE OF OUPTIME
    i call it this way:
    select * from table(FN_GET_RECORDS ())
    if anyone knows how to do the same in a shorter manner, tell me please.
    thanks to everybody for the help.
