Data retrieval from columns having user defined type

I was learning abstract types the other day.So I created an abstract type and a table.
create type student_ty as object
(name varchar2(20),roll number);
create table result(
student student_ty,
total number);
I have also inserted some data.But I am having some problems with the rretrieval of data.Suppose I want to select only the roll and name of the student as described in the studen type.So I used the follwing query:-
select student.name from result;
But its not working.But when i'm using something like this:-
select r.total,r.student.name from result r;
It is working perfectly.My question is that is it a rule that oracle enforces to use an alias whenever retrieving values from a user defined datatype?.Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Good observation. As you can see with your first query, the student is considered by oracle as a alias instead of a user-defined type column which is included in your result's table.
>
select student.name from result;
>That is why in this case, you really need to use an alias or you can just use the complete table name like this:
select result.student.name from resultBut, of course, it is not recommended, using alias is much appropriate.
Cheers.

  • Using columns of user defined types

    Can anyone help me display data from a column within a table which is of a user defined type - a object with 4 elements .
    Discoverer wont currently display the data - it says a MAP or ORDER method is required.
    The type is declared as :
    create or replace type m_p as object
    ( m_p_id number(9),
    m_p_start number,
    m_p_end number,
    m_p_length number )
    and the table is declared as
    create table t_m_p (
    N_ID NUMBER,
    N_PL M_P,
    N_ATT VARCHAR2(1)
    What do I need to do to allow Discoverer 3.1 to display the data held in the N_PL column?
    Also : can anyone tell me if it is possible to display data in Discoverer from a thre dimensional varray? - or would I have to create a view on it?

    Discoverer does not currently allow queries to contain the extended Oracle 8 object types. The way to resolve this is to write views that present a relational view of the object structure and then build a business area based on these views

  • Selecting Columns with User Defined Types... in PHP

    I've looked all over google and this forum and can't find anything about this... here's what I've got:
    a User Defined Type:
    CREATE TYPE "ADDRESS" AS OBJECT (
    ADDRESS VARCHAR2(256),
    COUNTRY VARCHAR2(256),
    STATE VARCHAR2(256),
    SUBURB VARCHAR2(256),
    TOWNCITY VARCHAR2(256)
    and it is used in a column in one of my tables:
    CREATE TABLE "SUPPLIERS" (
    "ID" NUMBER,
    "USER_ID" NUMBER,
    "NAME" VARCHAR2(50),
    "ADDRESS" "ADDRESS"
    so that column "address" is of type "address". I am then able to insert a row using:
    INSERT INTO "SUPPLIERS" VALUES(1,1,'name',ADDRESS('address','country','state','suburb','town city'));
    and that all works as expected. I can select the data using iSqlPlus and get the result I expect;
    ADDRESS('address', 'country', 'state', 'suburb', 'town city')
    So here's the problem. I cannot reterieve the data as expected, using PHP. If I make a select statement on the table that excludes the ADDRESS column I get the results as expected. If the ADDRESS column is included I get an error when fetching the row:
    ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected CHAR got ADT
    I'm assuming this is because the the cell cannot be cast to a string. How can I select the row so that the ADDRESS column is returned as an object? Can I even? If I can't, I don't see the use of Object Data Types... :(
    I have found that I can select a field of the type using:
    SELECT t.ADDRESS.TOWNCITY FROM SUPPLIERS t;
    But this is not ideal, because the whole idea was that I could (potentially) change the format for, in my example, an address, and not need to alter my SQL statements.
    Any ideas??

    PHP OCI8 can currently only bind simple types. Here are two possible
    solutions.
    -- cj
    create or replace type mytype as object (myid number, mydata varchar2(20));
    show errors
    create or replace type mytabletype as table of mytype;
    show errors
    create or replace procedure mycreatedata1(outdata out mytabletype) as
    begin
      outdata := mytabletype();
      for i in 1..10 loop
        outdata.extend;
        outdata(i) := mytype(i, 'some name'||i);
      end loop;
    end;
    show errors
    -- Turn the data into a ref cursor (but PHP OCI8 doesn't use prefetching for ref cursors)
    create or replace procedure mywrapper1(rcemp out sys_refcursor) as
    data mytabletype;
    begin
      mycreatedata1(data);
      open rcemp for select * from table(cast(data as mytabletype));
    end mywrapper1;
    show errors
    -- Turn the data into two collections
    -- This might be faster than returning a ref cursor because you can
    -- use oci_bind_array_by_name() on each parameter.
    create or replace procedure mywrapper2(pempno out dbms_sql.NUMBER_table, pename out dbms_sql.VARCHAR2_table) as
    data mytabletype;
    begin
      mycreatedata1(data);
      select myid, mydata
      bulk collect into pempno, pename
      from table(cast(data as mytabletype));
    end mywrapper2;
    show errorsThen in PHP you could do:
    // Use a Ref Cursor
    $s = oci_parse($c, "begin mywrapper1(:myid); end;");
    $rc = oci_new_cursor($c);
    oci_bind_by_name($s, ':myid', $rc, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);
    oci_execute($s);
    oci_execute($rc);
    oci_fetch_all($rc, $res);
    var_dump($res);
    // Use Collections
    $s = oci_parse($c, "begin mywrapper2(:myid, :mydata); end;");
    oci_bind_array_by_name($s, ":myid", $myid, 10, -1, SQLT_INT);
    oci_bind_array_by_name($s, ":mydata", $mydata, 10, 20, SQLT_CHR);
    oci_execute($s);
    var_dump($myid);
    var_dump($mydata);

    You will need to create two new TYPEs. One that has all of the columns of the TOSS.SEEKER table and the new SCORE column and then a TYPE that is a table of the first type.
    See the Example 12-22 Using a Pipelined Table Function For a Transformation in the PL/SQl language reference
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28370/tuning.htm#i53120
    Here is the first part
    -- Define the ref cursor types and function
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE refcur_pkg IS

      TYPE outrec_typ IS RECORD (

      TYPE outrecset IS TABLE OF outrec_typ;to include all of the columns you need. Unfortunately you will have to manually list all of the columns of the TOSS.SEEKER table. If you expect to need this same structure in other places you should create them as SQL types instead of PL/SQL types.
    This example should be enough to show you how to change your code to do something similar.

  • Calling Oracle stored procedure with out param of user define type from Entity Framework 5 with code first

    Guys i am using Entity Framework 5 code first (I am not using edmx) with Oracle and all works good, Now i am trying to get data from stored procedure which is under package but stored procedure have out param which is user define type, Now my question is
    how i will call stored procedure from entity framework
    Thanks in advance.

    I agree with you, but issue is we have lots of existing store procedure, which we need to call where damn required. I am sure those will be few but still i need to find out.
    If you think you are going to get existing MS Stored Procedures  or Oracle Packages that had nothing to do with the ORM previously to work that are not geared to do simple CRUD operations with the ORM and the database tables, you have a rude awakening
    coming that's for sure. You had better look into using ADO.NET and Oracle Command objects and call those Oracle Packages by those means and use a datareader.
    You could use the EF backdoor, call Oracle Command object and use the Packages,  if that's even possible, just like you can use MS SQL Server Stored Procedures or in-line T-SQL via the EF backdoor.
    That's about your best shot.

  • Issue in passing Oracle User Defined Types to PL SQL from Websphere Applica

    HI,
    I am facing an issue when trying to pass Oracle collection object(User Defined Types) from Java to PL SQL. The issue happens inside J2EE application which is running inside Websphere Application Server 6.x. My database is Oracle 10g and i am using ojdbc1.4.jar as thin driver.
    The issue is that when i pass the Oracle Object from java side, the attribute values of the collection objects at the Oracle PL SQL side is coming as empty. I have tried the same java code in a standalone application and it works fine. The issue happens only when the application is running inside WAS.
    Anybody has any idea how to pass Oracle User Defined Types from WAS 6.x server to Oracle PL SQL?

    Andy Bowes wrote:
    Hi
    I am using WebLogic 8.14 & Oracle 9i with thin JDBC driver.
    Our application needs to perform the same DB operation for every item in a Java Collection. I cannot acheive the required performance using the standard Prepare & Execute loop and so I am looking to push the whole collection to Oracle in a single invocation of a Stored Procedure and then loop on the database.
    Summary of Approach:
    In the Oracle database, we have defined a Object Type :
    CREATE OR REPLACE
    TYPE MYTYPE AS OBJECT
    TxnId VARCHAR2(40),
    Target VARCHAR2(20),
    Source VARCHAR2(20),
    Param1 VARCHAR2(2048),
    Param2 VARCHAR2(2048),
    Param3 VARCHAR2(2048),
    Param4 VARCHAR2(2048),
    Param5 VARCHAR2(2048),
    and we have defined a collection of these as:
    CREATE OR REPLACE
    TYPE MYTYPE_COLLECTION AS VARRAY (100) OF MYTYPE
    There is a stored procedure which takes one of these collections as an input parameter and I need to invoke these from within my code.
    I am having major problems when I attempt to get the ArrayDescriptor etc to allow me to create an Array to pass to the stored procedure. I think this is because the underlying Oracle connection is wrapped by WebLogic.
    Has anyone managed to pass an array to an Oracle Stored procedure on a pooled DB connection?
    Thanks
    AndyHi. Here's what I suggest: First please get the JDBC you want to work in a
    small standalone program that uses the Oracle thin driver directly. Once
    that works, show me the JDBC code, and I will see what translation if
    any is needed to make it work with WLS. Will your code be running in
    WebLogic, or in an external client talking to WebLogic?
    Also, have you tried the executeBatch() methods to see if you can
    get the performance you want via batches?

    Hi,
    Sorry but I'd refer you to the following sections (and code samples/snippets) in my book:
    Mapping User-Defined Object Types (AD) to oracle.sql.STRUCT in section 3.3, shows how to pass user defined types as IN, OUT,IN/OUT
    JMS over Streams/AQ in the Database: shows how to consume AQ
    message paylod in section 4.2.4
    CorporateOnine, in section 17.2, show how to exchanges user defined type objects b/w AQ and JMS
    All these will hopefully help you achieve what you are trying to do.

  • Querying user-defined types

    I have a table in which one of the columns is a user-defined datatype:
    SQL> describe my_table
    USER_DATA    MYTYPEThe type "MYTYPE" is a simple object that contains one field: a CLOB called MESSAGE:
    SQL> describe mytype
    Name       Null?    Type
    MESSAGE          CLOBWhen I do a "select * ..." from this table, the column USER_DATA is displayed as "MYTYPE(oracle.sql.CLOB@898c2d)"
    I know that for CLOB and BLOB fields, SQL Developer will let me double click the value and view the contents. But for a user-defined type like this that contains a field, I cannot browse into the data members of the type. I find myself wanting to do something like a "select user_data.message from my_table", but this is not valid syntax. Is there a way to query a specific data member of this user-defined type with the rest of the columns in the table so that I can be shown the CLOB member instead of a representation of the object? If not, is there a way to configure SQL Developer to allow me to browse the data members of user-defined types? TOAD has a feature like this but I would like to use SQL Developer exclusively and this is one table I must work with regularly.

  • Accessing User Defined Types

    We have recently updated our libraries to the latest version (2.102.2.20) - and have lost access to the critical objects and methods that were accessing our User Defined Types on Oracle.
    In particular, this code:
    OracleUdtDescriptor descriptor = OracleUdtDescriptor.GetOracleUdtDescriptor((OracleConnection)conn, "MY_USER.MYTYPE");
    OracleArray items = new OracleArray(descriptor);
    foreach (string s in testArrayItems)
    items.Append(s);
    IDbDataParameter itemsParam = cmd.OracleParameters.Add("items", OracleDbType.VArray, items, ParameterDirection.Input);
    simply doesn't work anymore. The 'OracleUdtDescriptor' and 'OracleArray' references no longer exist. This has brought all development on a critical application to a halt. (Doesn't it always.)
    How can I get the same functionality using the new version (2.102.2.20) of the Oracle.DataAccess library?

    Hi,
    Here's what I was referring to... say you wanted to execute the same procedure from PLSQL via an anonymous block. Execute the same anonymous block via ODP.NET.
    Here's a simple dumb example that passes an object type to a stored procedure, hope it helps. Hokey example, but hopefully points out what I was trying to say.

    SQL
    ========
    create or replace type person_typ as object (name varchar2(50), age number(4))
    create table person_tab(col1 number, col2 person_typ);
    create or replace procedure insert_person_proc(v1 in number, v2 in person_typ) as
    begin
    insert into person_tab values(v1,v2);
    end;
    You could execute that via PLSQL as follows
    =================================
    declare
      myperson person_typ;
    begin
      myperson := person_typ('melody',5);
      insert_person_proc(1,myperson);
    end;
    /And do the same thing via ODP.NET
    =============================
    using System;
    using System.Data;
    using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
    class Program
        static void Main(string[] args)
            using (OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection("data source=orcl;user id=scott;password=tiger"))
                con.Open();

  • View Object with User Defined Type input

    I am trying to use a View Object with a query that requires a user defined object as an input parameter.
    I have the query working with a PreparedStatement, but would like to use a View Object.
    When I use the PreparedStatement, I prepare the user defined type data like this:
    // get the data into an object array
    Object[] wSRecObjArr = wSRec.getObjectArray();
    // set up rec descriptor
    StructDescriptor WSRecDescriptor = StructDescriptor.createDescriptor("WS_REC",conn);
    // populate the record struct
    STRUCT wSRecStruct = new STRUCT(WSRecDescriptor,conn,wSRecObjArr);
    Then I can use this in the PreparedStatement like this:
    OraclePreparedStatement stat = null;
    ResultSet rs = null;
    stat = (OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement("Select test_pkg.test_function(?) FROM DUAL");
    stat.setSTRUCT(1, wSRecStruct);
    rs = stat.executeQuery();
    I would like to do the same process with a View Object instead of the PreparedStatement.
    My question is "How do I create the input objects"?
    I obtain the View Object from the Application Module using findViewObject(). I don't actually have a connection object to pass into the StructDescriptor.createDescriptor method.
    I have tried just using Java Object Arrays (Object[]) to pass the data, but that gave an error:
    oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException: JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation.
    Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Custom domains are the way to go.
    When I try to pass custom domains that represent my user defined types - it works.
    However, one of the functions requires a table of a user defined type be passed in.
    I tried creating a domain of the table type. It forces me to add a field during creation (in JDEV), so I tried adding a field of type Array of Element of the domain representing the user defined type.
    I populate the table by setting the field I created, but the table is empty in PL/SQL (TEST_TAB.COUNT = 0).
    I also tried passing the oracle.jbo.domain.Array object, but that produced an error:
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06553: PLS-306: wrong number or types of arguments in call
    I also tried passing Object[], but that produced an error:
    oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException: JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation.
    How do I properly create, and pass an domain that represents a table of a user defined type?
    When I use a OraclePreparedStatement, I can pass a oracle.sql.ARRAY using stat.setARRAY.
    Thank you for the help you have provided, and any future advice.

  • Oracle 11g AQ : problem enqueue user-defined type with varchar2 attribute

    Hello.
    I have a problem enqueuing a user-defined type to the queue on Oracle 10g.
    I'm using jdbc driver (ojdbc5.jar, version 11.1.0.6.0) as they provide oracle.jdbc.aq package.
    The type is following:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE FIXED_T5 AS OBJECT
    (id integer,
    label varchar2(100),
    code integer,
    today date
    )I have created a java class for this type with jpub utility supplied with oracle 11g client package:
    jpub -user=scott/tger -url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:sid-sql=FIXED_T5:ru.invito.FixedType -compile=falseIt generated FixedType.java and FixedTypeRef.java files. Don't understand why i need the latter (FixedTypeRef).

    LABEL = Hello, INVITO.FIXED_T5Q!
    CODE = 1
    TODAY = 2008-07-04 15:30:30.0and in table (select * from FIXED_T5QT) the 'label' is blank:

    USER_DATA.CODE     1
    USER_DATA.TODAY     04.07.2008 15:30:30I must point to a strange thing: when the FixedType instance is created (via new operator) and then the setLabel("....") called as:
    FixedType data = new FixedType();
    // hack: proper initialization for 'label' field
    data._struct.setNChar(1);
    data.setId(ID);
    data.setLabel(label);
    data.setCode(1);
    Date today = new Date();
    data.setToday(new Timestamp(today.getTime()));
    Datum d = data.toDatum(connection);
    STRUCT s = (STRUCT) d;
    logger.debug(s + ".debugString(): " + s.debugString());
    logger.debug(s + ".dump(): " + s.dump());and if i comment line (data._struct.setNChar(1);) the debug messages for created STRUCT also shows empty value for label.
    But if i explicitly call data._struct.setNChar(1) then debug contains the label i defined in call to the setLabel method.
