Drop unused stored procedures

hi,
i need to drop unused stored procedures from our Oracle9i database.
How do I check and confirm that the stored procedures are no longer used by the application?
Our application is using jsp, servlet and ejb. Some stored procedures might also be called from other stored procedures, triggers and PRO*C programs.
best regards,
dayang

You are snookered in the absence of adequate documentation.
Some stored procedures might also be called from other stored procedures, triggers and PRO*C programsThat's the easy bit - you can find which database objects use other database objects using the USER/ALL/DBA_DEPENDENCIES views. But programs outside the database? No chance.
If you want to make yourself unpopular yoy could invalidate every single stored procedure and see who screams but that's not user friendly - besides some packages might only be used once a quarter, once a year even - financial routines are the obvious example.
If you have logging in place you might try switching it on, but I suspect you don't have that.
In short, if you don't know who's using a package you are better off leaving it in your schema. Just make a note for yourself to properly document your next system.

Drop the stored procedure having null schema

Hello All,
I have 2 SPs with same name but different schema id , one 1(default) and other is 20 but when i check in sys.schemas it give no record for schema_id 20.
i would like to drop the SP which has schema_id 20, i dont know the schema name for id 20 so not able to drop it.
Please help me out to remove\drop the SP which has null schema.

What version of SQL Server and service pack are your running? I've never seen this but you might try first try restarting SQL to rule cache corruption. If the problem persists, below are some steps you can try.
Run the query below to get the schema name from the stored procedure CREATE statement:
SELECT m.definition
FROM sys.procedures AS p
JOIN sys.sql_modules AS m ON
m.object_id = p.object_id
WHERE OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(object_id) IS NULL;
Query sys.schemas to identify gaps in schema_id values less than 20. Create schemas with dummy names until schema_id 19 is assigned. Then create a schema with the name retrieved from the proc schema and verify it has been assigned schema_id
20. Finally, try to drop the proc using the schema-qualified name.
Is there anything unusual that might help explain what led to this problem. Maybe a transfer of objects from one schema to another that went awry?

How to find the list of unused stored procedures in SQL Server 2005?

Hi,
I need to find out the list of stored procedures which are not in use.
I found there is something called "sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats " for SQL server 2008.
Can you please suggest your ides here to do the same job for SQL server 2005.
Many Thanks.

In SQL 2005 there is, sort of. This is query lists the last execution
time for all SQL modules in a database:
SELECT object_name(m.object_id), MAX(qs.last_execution_time)
FROM sys.sql_modules m
LEFT JOIN (sys.dm_exec_query_stats qs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text (qs.sql_handle) st)
ON m.object_id = st.objectid
AND st.dbid = db_id()
GROUP BY object_name(m.object_id)
But there are tons of caveats. The starting point of this query is
the dynamic management view dm_exec_query_stats, and the contents is
per *query plan*. If a stored procedure contains several queries,
there are more than one entry for the procedure in dm_exec_query_stats.

Unused stored procedure parameters marked with a check mark in crystal reports

Post Author: epowers0213
CA Forum: General
Hello,
I have some Crystal Reports that currently use stored procedures as their datasources (I am in the process of modifying them to use datasets instead). Some of the original reports have check marks next to stored procedure parameters which I cannot find as being used anywhere in the report. Is this a legitimate possibility? (Some of them do not have check marks, however, so it is not consistent.)
More Info: I am using Crystal Reports within Visual Studio 2005. I have looked through each report in every way I can think of to find if a parameter field is being used anywhere - I have checked all formula fields, the formatting formulas for sections and individual fields, the record and group selection formulas and the grouping and sorting experts, along with any subreports (although some of them have no subreports).
(I have read on other forums that exporting a report definition file is another way to look for where fields or parameters are being used, but this does not appear possible within Visual Studio 2005.)
In some cases, I have gone ahead and replaced the stored procedure datasource location with a dataset (generated based on the same stored procedure). When I do this, Crystal automatically deletes the stored procedure parameters from the report, and I have still been able to run the modified report successfully - at least it looks ok and nothing is complaining. So is it possible that these parameters were actually not being used anywhere on the report although they were marked with a check mark?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I want to make sure I am not changing the function of these reports somehow without knowing it...
Thank you!

Are you referencing another database that Crystal can't see? Also, you can try and copy the SQL to a command object in Crystal to see if it behaves differently there.

Oracle stored Procedure and Packages in CR4E

Hi,
I want to use Stored Procedure in CR4E. I don't know how to use Stored Procedures and packages in Crystal Reports for Eclipse. In the data source explorer I can only see the Tables, Views and Stored Procedures but not packages from my Schema and when I can only drag & drop the Tables and Views into the Field Explorer, I can't drag & Drop the Stored Procedures.
I managed to attached the stored procedure from CR studio. I opened the report in CR4E and I can see the stored procedure and can preview the data. When I try to run the report and override the datasource, it throws oracle error saying "ORA-01008: Not all variables bound". When I tried to use the option
DBOptions._doNotVerifyDB
while replacing connection I get the this error

Please advice if Stored procedures and packages are supported in CR4E ?

Hi, Jack76,
According to the [CR4E Release Notes|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr4E/en/cr4e_relnotes_en.pdf] (available from the [CR4E Download page|http://www.businessobjects.com/campaigns/forms/downloads/crystal/eclipse/datasave.asp]), stored procedures are supported, as long as they don't use parameters that need null values.
I don't see any references to packages.

How to list all tables/stored procedures used by the report

All the reports i create are getting data from stored procedure(s). Is there a way to obtaining a listing of all the stored procedures without having to open report by report and check under Database > Set Datasource Location > Properties > Table Name?
Finding this info it would be extremely valuable, as it would help me to judge the impact of any changes that i might be considering to one or more of the stored proc.
So far i maintained a manual listing but it is not up-to-date and reliable. I would rather prefer to get an updated listing every time i want to change/drop a stored procedure.
Thanks so much for your help.
Rick

Dell can you be a little bit more specific about the SDK solution. I could ask one of the developers to help me but i need to gather more details.
I took a look .rpt inspector Pro but it does not do what i need. All i need is the the listing of all the database tables (in my case stored procs) used in my reports. No need to replace or change anything. I need to scan the directory where i have all the reports for the different applications and get report names and table/stored procs used. i can export the txt file to excel and that's all.

Drop and recreate table in stored procedure

Hi all
When creating tables using Transact-SQL scripts, I have always preferred to drop the table if it exists and then create it explicitly using CREATE TABLE. For two reasons:
1) It does not matter if it is the first time the SP is run ie. if I create the table manually in the first instance and just use TRUNCATE TABLE it could fail if the table is deleted
2) I have control over the data types of the table fields
Just recently though I discovered the error that can occur when dropping and creating a table in the same batch (see link below)
Microsoft Website
This causes me a problem when dropping and creating tables in stored procedures, as I understand that a stored procedure is in itself a single batch?
Can I avoid this error in a stored procedure whilst continuing to drop and create tables? Or should I be taking a different approach?
Coding best practice advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks Ronen
Please see my second post immediately before your reply.
Given that I need to store the data output in a physical table for use in QlikView, would you suggest truncating the table each time the SP runs? And then having a script that handles both dropping and creating the physical table, and also creating
the SP?
>> QlikView
QlikView is an Israeli company, right?
In any case I am not familiar with QlikView's application, therefore I can only give you general information, based on assumptions regarding the application, and facts regarding the SQL Server.
>> for use in QlikView
I assume that external application use specific database structure (table
structure) and it is change only in rare situations (for example CMS interface might change the tables if and when a module s update/install). In this case there is no need to drop the table and recreate it and TRUNCATE is the solution.
>> would you suggest truncating the table each time the SP runs
I am sorry but i cant recommend on TRUNCATE a table each time you execute SP, without know the exact reason for this logic. It sound to me, at this point of time (with the information that we have), that this
is very bad logic (application architecture). As I wrote above, basing your application on TRUNCATING the table each time mean that you have problems with multi users. Thins about 2 people that try to execute the same SP at almost the same time. Think about
locking in the SQL Server and bad data (one truncate while the other already inserted the new data and get no rows, if there is no locking).
But TRUNCATE is much better in this case probably then DROP and DELETE, since it is faster, and locking will be shorter (hopefully the application use the correct locking). There are other reasons why TRUNCATE is better, and other people already mentioned
most of them, but time in this scenario might be critical.
>> having a script that handles both dropping and creating the physical table, and also creating the SP?
I do not undestand what is this second step. we said that you truncate the table, so why do you need to
dropping and creating the physical table and who
creating the SP?
Are you meaning that the application create the tables and SP?
There are lot of application that during installation create the database structure. is this what you mean?

How to create stored procedure to drop and create table

Version: Oracle 10g
I am trying to create a stored procedure that will drop and create a table based on a select statement. I can create the table but I can't drop it.

Call stored procedure with a few unusal conditions

What is the best way for a stored procedure that has been passed an unknown number of parameters to call another stored procedure, (whose name is passed in as a parameter to procedure1), that returns a ref cursor or a dbms_sql cursor.
For example:
Procedure1 - passed unknown # of parameters in an array/table calls stored procedure2 that returns a ref cursor that you eventually want to pass all the way back down to the client.
I am using Oracle 11g.
1). I have gotten this to work using derivedparameters in .net - but this is considered bad practice due to the overhead, etc...
2). I have gotten this to work using execute immediate and bind variables.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sqlstmt using p_strarry(1), p_strarry(2), p_strarry(3), p_strarry(4), p_strarry(5), p_rc;
The problem with this technique is that you need to create a case statement that will use a different execute immediate statement for each arraycnt, since the using clause cannot be created dynamically. Also, considered bad. If I increase the number of elements in the array beyond what I have coded for then I need to add more when clauses to my case statement.
3). I have gotten this to work with execute immediate that contains no binding variables - but my understanding is that this causes the shared pool to populate and causes the server to have to be flushed, periodically.
4). I have read that with an unknown number of bind variables you need to use dbms_sql - I have been unable to find any reference as to a way I can return a ref cursor to the dbms_sql.cursor in a list of bind variables or a dbms_sql.cursor that returns multiple rows from a table to the original dbms_sql_cursor.
In case what I have said is not specific enough - a code snipplet from the execute immediate using bind variables, (1 above).:
PROCEDURE eiroutebvsproc(p_sprocname in varchar2,
p_strarry in StrArry,
p_rc IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
IS
v_sqlstmt varchar2(300);
v_arrycnt int;
BEGIN
v_sqlstmt := 'begin ';
v_arrycnt := p_strarry.count;
CASE
WHEN (v_arrycnt = 1)
THEN v_sqlstmt := '';
WHEN (v_arrycnt = 2)
THEN v_sqlstmt := '';
WHEN (v_arrycnt = 3)
THEN v_sqlstmt := '';
WHEN (v_arrycnt = 4)
THEN v_sqlstmt := '';
WHEN (v_arrycnt = 5)
THEN v_sqlstmt := v_sqlstmt || p_sprocname || '(:2, :3, :4, :5, :6, :7);';
v_sqlstmt := v_sqlstmt || ' end;';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sqlstmt using p_strarry(1), p_strarry(2), p_strarry(3), p_strarry(4), p_strarry(5), p_rc;
ELSE v_sqlstmt :='ERROR';
END CASE;
this creates an anonymous block - that calls the 2nd procedure - The 2nd procedure name is passed into procedure1 as p_sprocname.
p_strarry contains an unknown # of parameters to be passed to the 2nd procedure. The 2nd procedure returns a ref cursor that is also an out parameter for procedure1 allowing for the ref cursor to be passed all the way back to the client.
Thank You,
Keith

If the application can tell the first procedure than name of the procedure to call, why can it not just call the required procedure instead?

How to get multiple out parameters from a pl/sql stored procedure in ADF Jdeveloper 11g release2

I´m trying to call from AppModuleImpl a stored procedure from my oracle DB which receives one input parameter and returns 5 out parameters.
I´m using jdeveloper 11g release2 ADF and I have created a java bean "ProRecallPlatesBean " with the atributes and accesors and I serialize it. just like in this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24382_01/web.1112/e16182/bcadvgen.htm#sm0297
This is my code so far:
public ProRecallPlatesBean getCallProRecallPlates(String numPlates) {
CallableStatement st = null;
try {
          // 1. Define the PL/SQL block for the statement to invoke
          String stmt = "begin CTS.Pk_PreIn.proRecallPlates(?,?,?,?,?,?); end;";
          // 2. Create the CallableStatement for the PL/SQL block
          st = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(stmt,0);
          // 3. Register the positions and types of the OUT parameters
          st.registerOutParameter(2,Types.VARCHAR);
st.registerOutParameter(3,Types.VARCHAR);
st.registerOutParameter(4,Types.VARCHAR);
st.registerOutParameter(5,Types.VARCHAR);
st.registerOutParameter(6,Types.VARCHAR);
// 4. Set the bind values of the IN parameters
st.setString(1,numPlates);
// 5. Execute the statement
st.executeUpdate();
// 6. Create a bean to hold the multiple return values
ProRecallPlatesBean result = new ProRecallPlatesBean();
// 7. Set values of properties using OUT params
result.setSpfVal(st.getString(2));
result.setTransportTypeVal(st.getString(3));
result.setTransportCompanyVal(st.getString(4));
result.setCompanyDescrVal(st.getString(5));
result.setDGAPrint(st.getString(6));
// 8. Return the result
return result;
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new JboException(e);
} finally {
if (st != null) {
try {
// 9. Close the JDBC CallableStatement
st.close();
catch (SQLException e) {}
In Jdeveloper I went into AppModule.xml JAVA>Client Interface section and expose "getCallProRecallPlates" Then I can see "getCallProRecallPlates" in Data Controls, I drag and drop it to a JSF page, an input text component and a button are generated in order to put in there the procedure input parameter (numPlates).
I don't know if I'm on the right track.
When I click the button, the "result" variable is supposed to be filled with data from the stored procedure. I want each of those values to be displayed in Output text or input text adf components but I dont know how. Thank you very much in advance I´m a newbie and i'll appreciate your help!

DDL statements and dynamic sql in stored procedure

I created a stored procedure to create and drop tables, using dynamic sql.
When I try to do the inserts using dynamic sql, i.e
v_string := 'INSERT statement';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_string;
I get the following error message:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06512: at line 63
Line 63 happens to be the line that the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_string; statement is in.
I am able to describe the table that the inserts are being made into, so I know that the table exists.
Any idea why I'm getting this error message would be appreciated.

Yes I do and I have been able to create other tables using dynamic sql.
The table that I am having problems with SELECTs data from another table to get its column values; within the SELECT statement, the CAST function is used:
ie. CAST(CASE SUBSTR(CAST(E_MOD AS VARCHAR(7)),2,3)
WHEN 'AAA' THEN 'A55'
ELSE ............
I get the following error message:
ERROR at line 18: (this line starts the CAST statement)
ORA-06550: line 18, column 13:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "AAA" when expecting one of the following:
. ( * @ % & = - + ; < / > at in is mod not rem return
returning <an exponent (**)> <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or
like between into using || bulk
When I remove the quotes or add another single quote, the same error cascades to 'A55'.
After doing the same for the next error, I get the error message below:
ERROR at line 1: (this line has the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement)
ORA-00936: missing expression
ORA-06512: at line 6
Any idea what the problem could be?
Also is there another way to have DDL statements as stored procedures other than using dynamic sql or the DBMS_SQL package?

SQL Server 2008 R2 - Report Builder 3.0 - timeout using shared data source and stored procedure

I select the shared datasource from the data source propeties dialog, test the connection and everything is good.
I add a dataset by selecting "use a dataset embedded in my report" option within the Dataset properties dialog.
I select the newly added data source, click the "Stored procedure" query type and drop down the list box and select my intended stored procedure.
the timeout for the dataset is "0" seconds.
I click the "OK" button and I'm presented with the parameters to the stored procedure.
I enter valid data for the parameters and click the "OK" button.
I then get the following error message after 30 seconds:
The problem is, all of the timeouts, that I'm aware of, have values of zero (no timeout) or high enough values that 30 seconds isn't even close to the timeout.
I think the smallest timeout we have is 120 seconds.
I have searched this site and many others and the solutions all involve altering the stored procedure to get the fields into report builder and then revert the stored procedure back to its original form.
To me, this is NOT a solution.
I have too many stored procedures that need to be brought into Report Builder.
I need a real solution.
Thank you for you time, Tim Caldwell.

I don't mean to be rude, but really, check to see if the stored procedure can return data rows???
Maybe I'm not being clear enough.
The stored procedure runs perfectly fine.
it runs perfectly fine in the production environment and the test environment.
I can access the stored procedure in several ways and have it return correct data.
I can even trick report builder into creating a dataset with parameters and run the stored procedure that way.
What I cannot do, is to get report builder to not timeout after 30 seconds on the initial creation of a dataset with a Query type of stored procedure.
I have seen this issues posted again and again and again on may different sites and the "solution" is to simplifiy the stored procedure by creating a stored procedure that has a create table and a select in the stored procedure and that's it. After
report builder creates the dataset the developer then has to replace the simplified stored procedure with the actual stored procedure and everything works fine after that.
HOWEVER, having to go through this process for 70 or more stored procedures is ridiculous.
It would appear that there is something within report builder itself that is causing this issue.

Report with Stored Procedure does not return until refresh

I'm using RAS server 2008 to run many Crystal reports from a web application (TrackWise) over Oracle 10g DB.
A new report is using a stored procedure that takes several minutes (5-10) to return before the rest of the report's SQL can execute.
When running the report from Crystal Developer there is no problem,
but when running from the application (using the RAS), the report seems to be running forever,
However, if you wait a few minutes for the DB utilization to drop (i.e. for the stored procedure to finish) and refresh - the full report appears on the screen in a second.
Since I have many other reports that run for much longer time with no issue, I assume that this has nothing to do with the web application, but rather related to the connection between the RAS and the DB (i.e. the idle time between the beginning of the stored procedure execution to its return and the continuation of the report creation).
I assume that I need to change one of the RAS settings/ parameters (in the properties or in the registry), but which?
Please assist.

Since this app is from TrackWise, I'd recommend contacting TrackWise and see if they have an answer for you. As it is, we have no idea how they implemented the CR components in their app. If they cannot help you, it should be them coming here and asking us - or better yet they should be creating a phone incident.

Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report using stored procedure ?

Post Author: Shashi Kant
CA Forum: General
Hi all
Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report XI using stored procedure ?
Only i shaw those parameters which i used in my stored procedure, the parameter which i create dynamic using stored procedure
is not shown to me when i referesh the report for viewing the results.
I have used the same procedure which i mention below but can not seen the last screen which is shown in this .
============================================================================================
1. Select View > Field Explorer2. Right-click on Parameter Fields and select New from the right-click menu.3. Enter u201CCustomer Nameu201D as the name for your parameter4. Under u201CList of Valuesu201D select u201CDynamicu201D5. Under the Value column, click where is says u201Cclick here to add itemu201D and select Customer Name from the drop-down list. The dialog shown now look like the one shown below in Figure 1. Click OK to return to your report design.
Dynamic Parameter Setup6. Next, select Report > Select Expert, select the Customer Name field and click OK.7. Using the drop-down list beside select u201CIs Equal Tou201D and using the drop-down list, select your parameter field (it should be the first field). 8. Click OK to return to your report design and see the parameter dialog.The parameter dialog will appear and show you a dynamic list of values that is updated each time your run your report. It couldnu2019t be easier! In our next tutorial, we will be looking at how to use this feature to create cascading parameter fields, where the values are filtered by the preceding selection.
Dynamic Parameters in Action
My question is that whether dynamic parameter is working with storedprocedure or not.
When i added one table and try to fetch records using dyanmic prameters. after that i am not be able to find the dynamic parameter option when i referesh my report.
One more thing when i try the static parameter for my report, the option i see when i referesh the screen.
Please reply soon , it's urgent
Regards

Hi Kishore,
I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
=lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
=Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.
