Cursor with nested query in stored procedure problem

Hello
I'm trying to declare the folowing (example) cursor in a stored procedure in Oracle 8i:
CURSOR RECORDS IS SELECT d.DUMMY, (SELECT dd.DUMMY FROM dual dd) FROM dual d;
The nested part "(SELECT d.DUMMY FROM dual)" is not alowed, while the same query runs outside the stored procedure. Can someone explain why this is not alowed and how to solve the problem whitout rewriting the query?
Tom

When i run the same code in SQL plus:
SQL> declare
2 CURSOR RECORDS IS SELECT d.DUMMY, (SELECT dd.DUMMY FROM dual dd) FROM dual d;
3 begin
4 null;
5 end;
6 /
CURSOR RECORDS IS SELECT d.DUMMY, (SELECT dd.DUMMY FROM dual dd) FROM dual d;
FOUT in regel 2:

DAC task with Informatica mapping and stored procedure (very slow)

Hello,
We have a DAC task that launch an Informatica Workflow with a simple query and stored procedure, like this:
SQL QUERY
==========================
SELECT
W_ACTIVITY_F.ROW_WID,
W_AGREE_D.AGREE_NUM,
W_PRODUCT_D.ATTRIB_51,
W_SRVREQ_D.ATTRIB_05,
W_ORG_DH.TOP_LVL_NAME,
W_ORG_D.ATTRIB_06,
W_PRODUCT_GROUPS_D.PRODUCT_LINE,
W_PRODUCT_D.PROD_NAME
FROM
W_AGREE_D,
W_SRVREQ_F,
W_ACTIVITY_F,
W_PRODUCT_D LEFT OUTER JOIN W_PRODUCT_GROUPS_D ON W_PRODUCT_D.PR_PROD_LN = W_PRODUCT_GROUPS_D.PRODUCT_LINE,
W_ORG_D,
W_SRVREQ_D,
W_ORG_DH
WHERE
W_SRVREQ_F.AGREEMENT_WID = W_AGREE_D.ROW_WID AND
W_SRVREQ_F.SR_WID = W_ACTIVITY_F.SR_WID AND
W_SRVREQ_F.PROD_WID = W_PRODUCT_D.ROW_WID AND
W_SRVREQ_F.ACCNT_WID = W_ORG_D.ROW_WID AND
W_SRVREQ_F.SR_WID = W_SRVREQ_D.ROW_WID AND
W_ORG_D.ROW_WID = W_ORG_DH.ROW_WID
STORED PROCEDURE
===========================
ConvSubProy(W_AGREE_D.AGREE_NUM,
W_PRODUCT_D.ATTRIB_51,
W_SRVREQ_D.ATTRIB_05,
W_ORG_DH.TOP_LVL_NAME,
W_ORG_D.ATTRIB_06,
W_PRODUCT_GROUPS_D.PRODUCT_LINE,
W_PRODUCT_D.PROD_NAME)
The mapping is very simple:
Source Qualifier -> Stored procedure -> Update strategy (only two ports: ROW_WID and custom column) -> Target Table
When I launch the DAC Execution Plan the corresponding task take much time (40 minuts). But when I launch the corresponding Workflow from Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Manager this only take 50 seconds... when I see the log session for the task I can see that much time is spent on the time of the updates. For example, when DAC is running the writer updates 10000 records every 6/7 minuts, but when Workflow Manager is running thw writer updates 10000 records every 8/9 seconds.
So, what happens (in the DAC) to that so much time difference? Is there a way to reduce the execution time when the task is launched from DAC?
Thanks
Best Regards
Benjamin Tey

Have you tried using bulk load type?
In Workflow Manager can you open the associated task, navigate to the mapping tab and seled the target table.
What is the value for "Target load type" and which of the following boxes are checked: Insert, Update as Update, Update as Insert, Update else Insert, Delete?

Failed to retrieve all the results. Try running the query or stored procedure again

I have a Product table in Azure SQL Database. I can't open data in Product table. I got an error message like this.."Failed to retrieve all the results. Try running the query or stored procedure again". In my Database
all tables showing their data expect Product table. Please let me know why only Product table showing error message. Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

Count(*) with nested query

Hi,
I have a question about the count(*) with nested query.
I have a table T1 with these columns:
C1 number
C2 number
C3 number
C4 number
C5 number
(The type of each column is not relevant for the example.)
This query:
select C1, C2, C3, C4
from T1
group by C1, C2
it's not correct becausa C3 and C4 are not columns specified in the GROUP BY expression.
If if run this query:
select count(*)
from (select C1, C2, C3, C4
from T1
group by C1, C2)
I haven't an error message (the result is correctly the number of records).
Why?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Luca

Because you are just selecting count(*) and none of the columns from the subquery, Oracle is optimising it by ignoring the selected columns and just running the sub query with the group by columns. I know it seems odd, but if you take a basic example:
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 select count(*)
2 from (select empno, sal, mgr, deptno
3 from emp
4* group by deptno)
SQL> /
COUNT(*)
3... all columns but deptno are ignored
... but if you include one of the other columns, even if you group by that column...
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 select count(*), empno
2 from (select empno, sal, mgr, deptno
3 from emp
4 group by deptno)
5* group by empno
SQL> /
group by empno
ERROR at line 5:
ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
SQL>... the error returns, because you're forcing oracle to include the column in the subquery.

Query a stored procedure

Hi
I am using oracle 10g R2 and i am wondering if there is any way which i can query a stored procedure.
lets say have this table
EMP
1
2
3
and i want from a stored procedure to return all this values
like
select * from stored_proc;
is this possible in any way?
thx
Doron

the idea behind all this mess is because we have a hierarchic query which gets parameters to query by.
i thought of creating a view but then i colud not pass the parameters to it.
if no solution will be found i will have to change the code but we prefer to try and find this kind of solution

REF CURSOR as IN parameter to stored procedure

Currently, ODP.NET supports REF CURSOR parameter as OUT parameter only.
Based on the project requirements it is necessary to pass
multiple records to the stored procedure.
In this case REF CURSOR as IN parameter is useful.
What are the plans to implement REF CURSOR as IN parameter to stored procedure?
What is the work around in case it is necessary to pass several different
record types as arrays to stored procedure?

ODP.NET does not limit REF Cursor parameters to IN parameters. This is a known PL/SQL limitation.
An excerpt from Application Developer's Guide:
"If you pass a host cursor variable to PL/SQL, you cannot fetch from it on the server side unless you also open it there on the same server call".

To connect a datablock to a query - stored procedure: problem

I have the following table...
CREATE TABLE I_TIPOLOGIA (
CODICE NUMBER(6),
DESCRIZIONE VARCHAR2(100),
CONSTRAINT I_TIPOLOGIA_PK PRIMARY KEY (CODICE) );
and the following package to connect a datablock to
previous table with a stored procedure...
CREATE or REPLACE PACKAGE DATABANKER_TIPOLOGIE AS
TYPE TipTableOfRec IS TABLE OF I_TIPOLOGIA%ROWTYPE;
PROCEDURE leggi(resultset IN OUT TipTableOfRec);
END DATABANKER_TIPOLOGIE;
CREATE or REPLACE PACKAGE BODY DATABANKER_TIPOLOGIE AS
PROCEDURE leggi(resultset IN OUT TipTableOfRec) AS
BEGIN
SELECT * BULK COLLECT INTO resultset
FROM I_TIPOLOGIA;
END leggi;
END DATABANKER_TIPOLOGIE;
When I compile the form I receive in QUERY-PROCEDURE trigger
en error 306: "number or type of arguments are wrong in POPULATE_BLOCK"
I post the trigger auto generated by Forms Builder 6i...
DECLARE
bk_data DATABANKER_TIPOLOGIE.TIPTABLEOFREC;
BEGIN
DATABANKER_TIPOLOGIE.leggi3(bk_data);
PLSQL_TABLE.POPULATE_BLOCK(bk_data, 'BLOCCO50'); -- <- error here
END;
How can I solve this problem? Maybe there is a bug?
P.S. I'm using Oracle Database 9i

CREATE or REPLACE PACKAGE DATABANKER_TIPOLOGIE AS
TYPE TipTableOfRec IS TABLE OF I_TIPOLOGIA%ROWTYPE;
PROCEDURE leggi(resultset IN OUT TipTableOfRec);
END DATABANKER_TIPOLOGIE;I have solved with this replacement 1) -> 2)
1) TYPE TipTableOfRec IS TABLE OF I_TIPOLOGIA%ROWTYPE;
2) TYPE TipTableOfRec IS TABLE OF I_TIPOLOGIA%ROWTYPE
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
with 2) now works.
Now I have stored-procedures for query, insert, delete
and update.
I have some problems with delete and update of the records
because it seems that they are locked.
I think that it is due to the absence of lock
stored-procedure... there's someone that can help me with
the lock SP implementation?

Problem with Update Select in Stored procedure

I am using Oracle 8. I'm writing a StoredProcedure and Oracle doesn't like the statement:
update
Leave_Coverages
set
Rate_Monthly = Rate_Monthly + (select Rate_Monthly from Leave_coverages where Leave_Coverage_ID = 10800)
where
Leave_Coverage_ID = 10799;
When I run the above statement from the command line - I have no problem. This statement in the stored procedure works:
update
Leave_Coverages
set
Rate_Monthly = Rate_Monthly + 4
where
Leave_Coverage_ID = 10799;
So essentially, I'm having trouble using a select in an update statement, but only in a Stored Procedure.

Denis,
This question was answered on this forum in the last week or so but I wasn't quickly able to locate this post.
Basically Oracle prior to version 9 had an SQL parser and a separate PL/SQL parser. The PL/SQL parser had to be updated each time new features were added to the SQL parser; often it lagged behind so that there were things you could do in plain SQL but weren't supported when using the same SQL in a cursor or directly in PL/SQL (with an INTO clause or RETURNING ... INTO clause).
From Oracle 9 these two parsers have been rolled into one so that new features introduced into SQL automatically also become available when used from PL/SQL.
So the answer to your curiousity on whether it will work in 9 or 10 is: if it works in SQL it should work just fine from PL/SQL.
Cheerio,
Colin

Enter Query Mode with Block Based on Stored Procedure

How can I get the ENTER QUERY mode to work when the data block is based on a stored procedure?

Thank you for your review.
Because the package is long, I stripped most of it out, but left the basics. After I stripped out the code, I ran the new code under a new user. Under the new user I built I new form, tested it, and I still cannot use the ENTER QUERY mode to retrieve the correct record. Query always returns the first record. I have included table structure and 3 test records.

IE problem with img tag calling stored procedure

I have an img tag in my JSP which looks like this (it has a very long src value):
<img src="http://www.enetrix.com/cores/net_charts.display_temp_chart?vChartDef_in=ChartType%20=%20DIALCHART;Chart
. . . and so on and so on . . .
26,%2075.0);&vChartType_in=PNG&vChartURL_in=http://333.333.33.333/j2ee/servlet/chart"/>
In short, the img calls a stored procedure and passes it a servlet among many other things. The procedure passes back an image to the browser.
The image shows up in Firefox but not IE 7. I don't think its an issue with the stored procedure but I can't understand why IE doesn't show the image. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried both jpeg and png.
Thanks
Eric

As the related posts suggest, you will need to use direct JDBC code for this.
Also I'm not sure JDBC supports the RECORD type, so you may need to wrap your stored functions with ones that either flatten the record out, or take OBJECT types.

when iam trying to get the resultset in my program iam getting object is no longer in use.
I think this is becos the temporary table object is not available to my program
can any one please help me

I don't understand this part.
Your procedure has "argSchemaName" as input parameter. Why do you have hardcoded owner name here in the cursor?

CURSOR csrEligTables IS

The anonymous block that you are running also has same owner name.

Problem calling a ref cursor that is in a stored procedure

I have a stored procedure that returns a ref cursor as follows and I want to call it from another procedure in the same package. It compiles, but when I run it, it gets errors.
procedure procGetRefCursor(p_string in varchar2, p_int in integer, p_return out sys_refcursor) AS
l_subrefcursor l_refcursor;
begin
open l_subrefcursor for
SELECT myval
FROM mytab a
WHERE myval1 = p_string;
end procGetRefCursor;
The following code compiles, but when I run it it errors out on the fetch.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01001: invalid cursor
I also tried opening the cursor first and that does not compile. I also tried
fetch p_return.myval in l_myval
that does not compile
procedure callGetRefCursor(p_string in varchar2,p_int in integer) is
p_return sys_refcursor;
l_myval varchar2(100);
begin
procGetRefCursor(p_string, p_int, p_return);
loop
fetch p_return into l_myval;
dbms_output.put_line('myval '||l_myval);
exit when p_return%notfound;
end loop;
end;

Where is l_refcursor defined?
And why?
Aren't you using SYS_REFCURSOR?

May be I have used the word "procedure" loosely. Its infact a oracle function which returns a message of type Varchar2. Hence "{?=.....} here is used for registering the return value from the function. The remaining statement CREATE_DATASET(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?), here the first 14 are input parameters whereas the last one is the OUT parameter of the function. Hope this helps.
