Database package editor and compiling

It seem an opened package body source in a editor is not saved before you asked to generate it from the database off line object tree view (right click generate to). The result is that you compile an older version not containing the changes done in the editor.
A warning or an automatically save will be fine.

Running as a statement or a script?
I put the stuff from above in a script and ran as a script (F5) and it seemed to run ok.
DROP PACKAGE d1;
@"c:\create.sql"
Script Output
DROP PACKAGE d1 succeeded.
PACKAGE D1 compiled
PACKAGE BODY D1 compiled

UNIX: Spool out database package and package body to a file [SOLVED]

Hello,
Does anyone know what I need to type into the unix console in order to spool out a database package spec and body of my choosing to a file? I've been told that I've got to do something like:
set trim spool on
With the idea that the trim will wrap the lines in the file so that words aren't half cut off. But the unix console tells me those commands don't exist?
Thanks,

Thank you very much gintsp. I did not realise they were sqlplus commands.
In order to spool out a datababase package spec and its accompanying body through sqlplus in unix, I found the following post helpful too: how to generate text file using spool command
Simply load up sqlplus and enter in the commands (set verify off, set feedback off etc), and specify a file to spool out to. In order to spool out the text of a database package, simply use:
select text from dba_source where name = <your package name here>
That way the spec will be spooled out followed by the body.
Thanks,

SQL Editor / Package Editor?

As a TOAD user, I'm trying to use SQL Developer for the first time and have patch 15.57. Forgive me if this is a common problem, but the issue I have is this. I have package source code in a text file (i.e. version controlled file). I use File->Open and it opens in a SQL editor window. All the buttons, such as Execute Statement, Execute Script etc are greyed out.
If I double click on a package in the tree navigator, it (i.e the database source code) opens in what looks to be more of a package editor, with buttons for compile, debug etc.
I want to be able to open a source file in a package editor and not a SQL editor (just like we do in TOAD and probably every other IDE). Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

Eric,
Many thanks. That solves the "greyed out icons" issue.
But how about the package editor issue i.e.I want to open PL/SQL source files in a package editor to enable compilation etc. So far I have as got as far as changing preferences so that SQL Developer recognises the file extensions for package spec. and body. However, I can only assign them as .sql files (opens in SQL editor) or some kind of Java (and when I do that syntax highlighting goes out the window). There's no option to tell SQL Developer that *.pkg is a PL/SQL package specification. I find this quite staggering...

Reg: Package Spec and Body

All,
I am adding a function to an existing package. I have added the function code only in the package body and compiled. I have received the below error.
PLS-00313: 'Fun_check' not declared in this scope
Where as, I have declared the same function in the package specification, then no issues.
So, my question is, Can't we add the function/procedure without the declaration of it inside the package specification.Because,I see, there were many functions inside the same package body, which were not declared in the package specification. What will happen, if we declare the function/proc inside the package spec and what if not.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,

Invalid Synonym on Database Package

I have recently modified a database package spec and package body for the first time since our upgrade to Oracle 10.2.0.4.0. Once I ran my code to modify the package spec and package body, the synonym became invalid. I've read that this is a new feature in Oracle 10g. I'm just wondering how I get the synonym valid again. I have tried recompiling the package spec and body again and I've also tried executing the package. The package executes fine, but the synonym still has a status of Invalid. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it!!
Shellie

Straight from the Oracle documentation:
"To create a PUBLIC synonym, you must have the CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM system privilege."
So the user that you want to be able to create a public synonym has to have this done by a privileged database user:
GRANT CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO <the_user>;

How to open and compile a package specification and body in SQL Developer

I'm currently evaluating a possible migration to SQL Developer.
Our PL/SQL code base is stored in scripts files named as follows: <schema>.<package_name>_<package|package_body>.sql and managed in SVN.
If now trying open a sql script containing the package specification or body and trying to compile it, I get no or strange error messages as if SQLDeveloper would not recognize the source as a PL/SQL code.
If I open an already compiled package from the database it seems to work as expected.
On the other hand I cannot find any option to write a package specification or body to a script except for the "Save package spec and body" option that only generates a single (!) script containing package specification and body in one single file and without any configuration options on how to name the generated file.
Any help is appreciated!

What strange error messages ? Make sure to configure your extensions as PL/SQL file type under Preferences - File Types.
To save, just Save As under the File menu.
Hope that helps,
K.

Editing and Compling a Database Package from a file

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is a way to open and edit a database specification and body source code file from the filesystem, and also be able to compile this is SQL Developer.
Currently I am able to open the .pks and .pkb files and I get 'Compile' and 'Compile for Debug' icons. However, when I hit these buttons they appear to do nothing. No messages are displayed to say if the package is compiled successfully or unsuccessfully. What I have noticed though is that the code is executed and the package is created on the database but there is no feedback. If I 'complile' a package that I know is invalid, the package becomes invalid in the database and vice versa. But I have no way of knowing this until I check the package on the database.
If I am doing something wrong or there is another way to do this, then please let me know. I really want to be able to work on these files from the filesystem rather than the database.
SQL Developer 1.5.1 on Windows 2000.
Cheers,
Jon.

Jon,
The current SQL Dev support for file based development in this area isn't wonderful. However, the output of "compiling" a PL/SQL file with the compile button (ie running as script) is shown in the Script Output tab of the Log dockable window. If you have the window docked and the Script Output tab selected, then it will normally display the following where the package body is invalid:
Warning: execution completed with warning
PACKAGE BODY MY_PACKAGE_PKG Compiled.
To show the errors there, you will need to use something like after the CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY statement:
SHOW ERRORS PACKAGE BODY MY_PACKAGE_PKG
The output doesn't always appear and the treatment of compilation errors is nowhere near as good as when compiling directly in the database where you can jump to the error location with a double click.

FORMS 6i and referenced forms in the database and compilation

Hello everybody,
I must work on an existing FORMS 6i APPLICATION.
I'm using FORMS 6i patch 18 on an ORACLE DATABASE 10g.
When I open a form I've got the message 'to retrieve reference objects, you must connect to the database' ( I think subclassed objects ), I do it and I got the error 'Failed to load objects ....'
In fact, I realize that the form I have to modify contains some objects referenced in some ( 3 in fact ) fmb source files, after searching on the web I have to 'insert' these 3 forms in the database : I have done it.
Everything is OK now : no more error when opening the form, I modify it and compile it on my testing environnment.
My question is : Do I have to "insert" these 3 source fmb forms into production in order to make my compiled fmx executable ??
Indeed, the only way to insert a form into database is to have the developper 6i database tables in the database, but in production I think it does not matter, do you ?
thanks a lot.
Romeo Georgievski.

You only need the referenced objects when
- changing the form in the Builder
- generating/compiling the form
When generating/compiling Forms Builder or Forms Compiler are resolving the references against the objects stored in the database.
They are now part of the runtime form (fmx file).
Note:
Storing objects into the database is desupported/depricated after Forms 6i (6.0.8).

Error when Compiling package header and body - how change pkb file associat

Hi everyone,
it has already been noticed elsewhere (in the thread "Compiling package header and body" of Jan 12, 2010) that the compilation of package scripts sometimes fails (apparently because of a sqldeveloper bug) when the script contains the terminating slash /.
Is this bug still open?
Next question: In the above mentioned thread it is recommended as workaround to change the corresponding file type association from pl/sql to sql. I would like to do that; I know the place in the preferences dialog, but most of the associations there seem to be hard coded and cannot be changed.
I would appreciate any ideas!
Thanks in advance,
user8632123.

For the workaround: you'd have to change the file's extension, not the association (to e.g. .sql).
Have fun,
K.

Hello friends , I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding. He started with terminal And used a text editor to compil the c program on his mac.. So please tell me how to do the same

Hello friends , I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding. He started with terminal And used a text editor to compil the c program on his mac.. So please tell me how to do the same and is there any pre stalled text editor on mac if yes then where and if no then which text editor to install and how to install gcc...please help me out thanks in advance !!!

I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding.
Why? If you are developing and writing code on a Mac why would you not use the tools Apple has given you? And Xcode, once you get use to it, is a very nice development environment that will make you life a whole lot easier.
If you insist on using an editor and the terminal I would recommend Emacs but it has a long learning curve so something like TextWrangler will work too.
As for the compiler if you have Xcode installed install the command line tools and you will be able to compile from the terminal.
good luck

Problem with path and compiling

I am trying to compile a class where I have and object I created as well. It complains that it cannot find that object (or class in the classpath) and fires this error when I try to compile:
Error: csci5433.database.animals.Pets.customerName is declared to be of type csci5433.database.customer.Customer and class csci543
3.database.customer.Customer can't be located in the classpath.
Now, when I add the class file to the classpath it fires this other error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: and
Customer class does not have a main method or anything of the like and when I compile that class it compiles without problem.
Thanks!

You don't put full paths to class files in the classpath. You just put in jar files and directories that hold the classes. And the directories should reflect the package structure. So if there's a file c:\monkey\cow\Horse.class, and Horse is a class in the package "cow", then the classpath should include "c:\monkey", and that's it. It shouldn't include c:\monkey\cow\ or c:\monkey\cow\Horse.class.
Also try to remember that most things in java take class names, not file names. In the above example, the full name of the Horse class is "cow.Horse". Except for the compiler, one almost never mentions filenames.
So I'm guessing that you specified the classpath incorrectly, and you created your jars incorrectly.
I'm still confused why the compiler would say:Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: andWhere did you ever use the word "and"?

Split a PL/SQL Package Spec and Body

I hope this was not discussed in some other thread somewhere (haven't found it), but my problem is:
How to split the Package Spec and Package Body in JDeveloper if you want to have both (for database deployment) as files in e.g. a subversion repository?
The problem arises if you have a couple of packages that are dependent on each other, so that you have to deploy the specs first to have the "public" part in place and afterwards the bodies to define the package functions/procedures.
Is there a way to do this?
TIA.
--Ciao, FD.

If you want to store for example the package "mypackage" source code in a subversion repository
one possibility is to define 2 svn files:
- mypackage.pks (which contains the package "specification") and
- mypackage.pkb ( package "body").
I haven't tried this from JDev 11.2 but it works for example when using a single-user
svn repository from Sql Developer 2.1.1. ( in SQL Dev if you specify a database
connection you can compile the file based pakage specification and after then the
package body ...)

Accessing database package variables from Forms

I have a database package that populates a table of values, i.e.
type t_route_list is table of rt_route.RTR_ID%type;
route_list t_route_list
route_list gets populated by a package function and I want to access route_list in the Form.
While I can access other package variables by writing a function that returns the variable, Forms doesnt seem to like functions that return a user defined datatype as above. I have also tried using a procedure with an OUT param instead of a function but it also fails with same error.
i.e.
declare
v_route_list pkg_bulk_route_replace.t_route_list;
begin
pkg_bulk_route_replace.init;
pkg_bulk_route_replace.get_route_list(v_route_list);
message(v_route_list(1));
end;
This will not compile, but removing the index (1) from the last line makes it compile but crash with ORA-0600.
The code above with message replaced with dbms_out.put_line works fine on TOAD.
So my question is......
Can my database package return a plsql table to a form and if so, how?!

Actually I've got this to work now!
Thde main culprit appears to be a difference in the version of sql or pl/sql used on forms (version 5) and the database (8.1.7).
I had defined my table as a nested table. By redefining this as a indexed table, simply by adding on 'index by binary_integer' on my server package, I am suddenly able to access the elements of the table on my form. Fortunately this did not break the server code either - the table was populated using bulk collect and that still works.
Still got a bit of coding to do, but things are looking up now.

Packages won't compile

I've generated my DDL from Designer and created my tables fine. I generate the Table API and the packages created are invalid - I run the headstart recompile script but this does nothing - they all remain invalid. I've created an application before but have not had this problem. Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you're running into a known oddity with the TAPI generator. (I say 'oddity' because it's not really a bug.)
Designer uses a storred database package, CG$ERRORS, for handling errors from the TAPI. Headstart provides a custom version of this package, owned by the Headstart template package owner HST65.
If you generate the TAPI and choose to generate to a script (rather than the database), Designer adds two lines to the beginning of the generated TAPI script which adds the default Designer version of CG$ERRORS to whatever schema you are logged into when you run the script. When you run that script, the first statement will fail, as it tries to create a package spec with a name that has already been used (usually as a synonym pointing to HST65.CG$ERRORS). The second statement will create the package body which will not compile. So, you end up with an uncompiled package body in the current schema, and this is the culprit. You need to delete this package body so that you will revert to using the Headstart version of CG$ERRORS.
This is all documented in the Headstart User Guide if you want some more details. It also contains a suggestion on how to prevent this problem from recurring.
Regards,
Lauri
