Declaring bind variables using decimals

I'm on Oracle 11.2
In SQL Developer, I'm having hard time executing a SQL with a bind variable. Below is the test table.
create table TEST1 (TYP varchar2(3), NUM number(30,18));
insert into TEST1 values ('TTT', 45.15168794137111);
commit;
Then I execute the below query and it returns no results. Why?
VARIABLE P1 number;
EXEC :P1 := 45.15168794137111;
select * from TEST1 where NUM = :P1;
The above works in SQL Plus.

That replaces the SQL before it executes it. It is just like using literals. I wanted to use bind variables for performance testing purposes.
See the sql developer documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10405_01/doc/appdev.120/e10406.pdf
Run Script executes all statements in the Enter SQL Statement box using the Script
Runner. The SQL statements can include substitution variables (but not bind
variables) of type VARCHAR2 (although in most cases, VARCHAR2 is
automatically converted internally to NUMBER if necessary); a pop-up box is
displayed for entering substitution variable values.
Notice the 'but not bind variables'

One Bind Variable used in multiple VOs jdev 11.1.2.3 redhat 5.8

Hello:
I have multiple View Objects and each view object needs to use a bind variable. I would like each VO to reference the same bind variable.
Example: I have 3 VO and in each VO where clause I need something like emp_key = :p_emp_key, but I want only one bind variable used in each VO. Is this possible?
So I would like to create one drop down list of values for all the employee names and have all the view objects reference the selected value key of the drop down for employees.
Each VO should reference the same employee selected.
What is the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks much.

Also, you can try the programatic way if it suits your requirement:
1. for all 3 VO, make them extend a base class
2. have a common property with relevant getter and setters in the base class - eg. private String myjob
3. set this varaible from the view(page/screen - button click/dropdown selection etc) using EL
4. in each VO using groovy to access the set variables like this -> adf.object.viewObject.myjob
5. call execute query on requried vo

Error : A READ-ONLY bind variable used in OUT or IN-OUT context

Hi,
I got error from my report as A READ-ONLY bind variable used in OUT or IN-OUT context in formula column. I already face this problem but at that time i cleared , but now i cont able to do, please give suggestion to this
regards
venki

I find my ERROR in that report, that A READ-ONLY bind variable used in OUT or IN-OUT context is
when we assign a database column in a placeholder are summary column.
From that placeholder or summary column will call by formula column
you might be face that error, But how means
when that database column , we are assign that decode, case or NVL funtion using else condition as Null you may be face that error.
Without my knowledge it may seem some other problem also
without any idea we con't able to clear this error.

Setting VO bind variable using session variable

Hi,
I need to get/set VO bind variable using ApplicationModuleImple or ViewObjectImple class. Does Any one know how to do it?
I have one VO based on query like "select name from users where password = :password ". I had a bind variable to it too. now i want to set it from a session scoped variable. can i do it using ADFContext.getCurrent().getSession().get('username'); ? but somehow I am not able to get the knowledge i.e where to set bind variable. please help.

Timo thanks for the reply, actually I don't want to do it using data control i.e drag and drop method to a page. Instead i just want to set bind variable to a session varable already got from login page.
I got the following sollotion but don't know where to put them,
1.
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding vb = context.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{data}");
BindingContext bci = (BindingContext)vb.getValue(context);
DCDataControl dc = bci.findDataControl("AppModuleDataControl");
ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule)dc.getDataProvider();
AppModuleImpl service = (AppModuleImpl)am;
ViewObject vo = service.findViewObject("YourViewObject").setNamedWhereClauseParam("nameBindVariable", objectValue);
vo.executeQuery();
what is the #{data} in second line ? if you know please let me know.
Second Solution :
2- In backing bean code:
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application fapp = context.getApplication();
JUFormBinding adfbc = (JUFormBinding)fapp.createValueBinding("#{bindings}").getValue(context);
DCIteratorBinding iter = adfbc.findIteratorBinding("YourIterator");
iter.getViewObject().setNamedWhereClauseParam("nameBindVariable", objectValue);
iter.executeQuery();
where would I get "YourIterator" ... ? I am still a new at jdev ... ;)

Declare bind variables

Hi All,
I have one application(Java) in which the front end sends a list of values to backend(Oracle). The issue is i dont know how many number of parameters(values) would be there, it depends all on front end. But i want these values in my backend processing and want to use them as bind variables, so that i can build dynamic sqls and make dynamic calls.
Is there any way that i can declare all the values what i get from front end as bind variables so that they would be available for that user session and the backend can directly refer them as a normal variable, without referring to any other object.
Thanks in advance.

Dear,
Thanks for your answer, but the problem here is how to declare those variables ? if i declare them in a store procedure they would be local to that procedure and wont be available as bind variables.No.
When using PL/SQL (static SQL) you will never encounter issues related to bind variables. PL/SQL itself takes care of yourcode and uses bind variables behind the scene.
So, if you declare your variables inside a stored procedure, they will be automatically considered as bind variables. You don't have to care about. This is how PL/SQL (static SQL) works.
The only situation where you have to look carefully to the use of bind variable within PL/SQL is when you use Dynamic sql into stored procedures or functions (this is in fact another reason to avoid using dynamic SQL).
However, you need take care of the application which is calling your stored procedure. This calling application should call your stored procedure using input parameters as bind variables.
Otherwise, the library cache of your shared pool will be full of calls to your stored procedure.
Put it simply,
(a) do what you want inside your PL/SQL strored procedure (static SQL and not Dynamic SQL)
(b) call your stored procedure using bind variables
Hope this helps

How to default bind variable using session variable at run time

Hi All,
I have a requirement where all VO queries (multiple VOs) produce only records that meet a certain value.
For example, I have three tables with 3 VOs and each of them has a one-to-many relationship to another table (let's call it ref table and this table has a field called release). One of the 3 VOs is a parent/master table, and the other two are child tables. I created a VO for master table that linked to the ref table and created a view criteria using the release (use bind variable) field from the ref table. The other child tables have their own VO that has view criteria that also linked to ref table using the release field.
On the UI page, I created a query component and a table from the master table VO. I also dropped the child table VOs in a tabbed panel which partial triggered by the master table. When I ran a query for a 'release' (hint: ref table value), the table for master table was filled the correct records that meet the criteria. Unfortunately, the child tables were not correct due to the query didn't use the bind variable that filter only records for the same 'release' value as the master table.
The question is how do I 'default' or dynamically set the bind variable on the child tables based on the selection criteria from the query component. I am thinking to set a session variable from the query and use it in the bind variable in the child table, but not sure how to do it.
Any suggestion how to do it or better solution to achieve the same effect?

Hi,
How about creating a custom AMImpl method, that takes parameters as required, and set the bind variables for all the desired VOs and perform executeQuery on them.
You could expose this as client interface, and then use the method as parameter form.

Re: Setting Attribute in View Object through Managed Bean

Got an error while creating bind variables using sql database.

iam going to use sql database for ADF-BC .
i created the bind variable and apply the bind position for the corresponding variable in the view object editor.when i click test it shows me "query is valid". when i tried to run that it gives me two errors.
1) sql error during statement preparation.(ie) select empid ,empname......from the emptable where empid like :'emp' and
2) [Microsoft][SQl server 2000 driver for jDBC] invalid parameter bindings
i need help to know the solution for this...(or) is there any other way to create bind variable ......

The 3 binding styles supported by JDev:
Oracle Named - ie. SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = :vEmp (note colon and variable name)
Oracle Positional - ie SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = :1 (note colon)
JDBC Positional - ie SELECT xxxx FROM xxxx WHERE emp_id = ?
Literally this query is sent to the database to execute, then the bind variables values are applied as a separate database operation. If SQL Server doesn't suport any of these binding styles, it's not going to work. As Chris Noonan suggests, try the JDBC Positional style though as you're using a JDBC driver to connect to SQL Server and it should support that style (the others are Oracle styles), and make sure you've switched the binding style on the VO query page to "JDBC Positional" too.
You must also on the VO bind variable page define your bind variables.
Also read the 10.1.3 JDev guide on ADF Business Components and View Object bind variables.

How do I refresh a table with a bind variable using a return listener?

JDev 11.1.2.1.0.
I am trying to refresh a table with a bind variable after a record is added.
The main page has a button which, on click, calls a task flow as an inline document. This popup task flow allows the user to insert a record. It has its own transaction and does not share data controls.
Upon task flow return, the calling button's return dialog listener is invoked which should allow the user to see the newly created item in the table. The returnListener code:
    // retrieve the bind variable and clear it of any values used to filter the table results
    BindingContainer bindings = ADFUtils.getBindings();
    AttributeBinding attr = (AttributeBinding)bindings.getControlBinding("pBpKey");
    attr.setInputValue("");
    // execute the table so it returns all rows
    OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("ExecuteWithParams");
    operationBinding.execute();
    // set the table's iterator to the newly created row
    DCIteratorBinding iter = (DCIteratorBinding) bindings.get("AllCustomersIterator");
    Object customerId = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope().get("newCustomerId");
    iter.setCurrentRowWithKeyValue((String)customerId);
    // refresh the page
    AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(this.getFilterText());
    AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(this.getCustomerTable());But the table does not refresh ... The bind variable's inputText component is empty. The table flickers as if it updates. But no new values are displayed, just the ones that were previously filtered or shown.
I can do the EXACT SAME code in a button's actionListener that I click manually and the table will refresh fine. I'm really confused and have spent almost all day on this problem.
Will

Both options invoke the create new record task flow. The first method runs the "reset" code shown above through the calling button's returnListener once the task flow is complete. The second method is simply a button which, after the new record is added and the task flow returns, runs the "reset" code by my clicking it manually.
I'm thinking that the returnListener code runs before some kind of automatic ppr happens on the table. I think this because the table contents flicker to show all customers (like I intend) but then goes back to displaying the restricted contents a split second later.
Yes, the table is in the page that invokes the taskflow.
Here are some pictures:

http://williverstravels.com/JDev/Forums/Threads/2337410/Step2.jpg
http://williverstravels.com/JDev/Forums/Threads/2337410/Step3.jpg
Step1 - invoke new record task flow
Step2 - enter data and click Finish
Step3 - bind parameter / table filter cleared. Table flickers with all values. Table reverts to previously filterd values.

How to declare global variables using another global variable in ODI

I am declaring a gloabal variable using another global variable.
say for example:
I have a global variable empid.
I am decalaring another global variable empname in refreshing tab of global variables and the select statment is
select empname from emp where empno = #GLOBAL.empid -------if i write like this i am getting error as invalid character.
select empname from emp where empno = '#GLOBAL.empid'-------if i write like this i am getting error as invalid number.
I have kept the datatype as numeric and action as non persistent
Please help
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
You cant test/refresh empname standalone.
You need to create a new package drag and drop both variables and make them as refresh variable and execute that package and test.
Flow,
empid----> empname

Hello
Could you reformat your execution plans because they aren't particularly readable. The forums allow you to preserve the formatting of code or output by putting the symbol {noformat}{noformat} before and after the section of text you want to preserve formatting for.
If you write
{noformat}select * from v$version
{noformat}
it will be displayed asselect * from v$version
So can you run this above statement and post the output here so we know the full oracle version you are working with? And finally, it would be really helpful to see the query you are running. When you say it runs fine in Toad, is that when you replace the bind variables with the values or are you also using bind variables in Toad?
Cheers

or is there any alternative for bind variables inside an package
Thanks in advance

The "VARIABLE O VARCHAR2(20);" syntax is the way SQLPlus declared bind variables - it is specific to the client. Because PL/SQL packages and procedures are server code that continue past sessions, its only access to the client environment is what the client gives it - it can't go and create a bind variable in the client.
PL/SQL procedures, functions and packages run from lots of environments, so they cannot access bind variables inside their body - you have to pass any external variables as parameters.
Anonymous PL/SQL blocks can access bind variables.
You can declare package public global variables - just leave out that "VARIABLE". E.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE GET_EMPLOYEEDETAILS
IS
PROCEDURE GET_FIRSTNAME(E_ID IN EMP.EMPNO%TYPE, F_NAME OUT EMP.ENAME%TYPE);
O VARCHAR2(20);
END GET_EMPLOYEEDETAILS ;
For local variables in your procedure, just put them between the IS and BEGIN. Using them in SQL inside the PL/SQL automatically uses them as a bind variable.
create or replace PROCEDURE GET_FIRSTNAME(E_ID IN EMP.EMPNO%TYPE, F_NAME OUT EMP.ENAME%TYPE)
IS
O VARCHAR2(20);
O2 VARCHAR2(21);
BEGIN
O := 'FR%';
SELECT ENAME INTO F_NAME FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO = E_ID and ENAME like O;
O2 := F_NAME || '2';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(F_NAME);
END;
O is bound in the query.
To access bind variables from anonymous PL/SQL, first declare them in the calling environment. In SQL Plus that's
VARIABLE O VARCHAR2(20);
In Pro*C it's
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
char[21] O
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
Then reference it in anonymous PL/SQL with a colon as prefix:
BEGIN
SELECT FIRST_NAME INTO :O FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID = E_ID;
END;
This only works for anonymous blocks (starting with BEGIN or DECLARE). As I said, PL/SQL procedures, functions and packages cannot see bind variables from the calling environment

Creating stored outlines for date datatype bind variable

While trying to create stored lines for a query having date datatype I get
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER error:
desc table_t1;
col1 number,
datecol date
CREATE OR REPLACE OUTLINE TEST FOR CATEGORY TEST
ON
select * from table_t1
WHERE T1.COL1 IS NOT NULL
                                      AND T1.DATECOL BETWEEN TRUNC (:D1)
                                                               AND TRUNC (:D2)
                                                                   + 1Can someone please help me what am I doing wrong?
I also tried to declare variable of date from sqlplus but it seems sqlplus doesn't have any support for date datatype var declaration as bind variable.
Thanks

I think in this case you would have to take an approach like this:
alter session set set create_stored_outlines=true;
run your sql-statement (with a date bind variable), using anonymous plsql block.
alter session set create_stored_outlines=false;
Not sure though. It's been a while since I played around with outlines.
