Dynamic queries - returned value counts incomplete

Post Author: dthielheim
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi all,
try to create a report with CR XI which should report two fields in one table - let's say 'vendor' and 'product'. Now i have the following phenomenon:
- If i use a dynamic query for that field to have a selection from a drop down menu as an example i get a result set which lists only values beginnung from character A to G. The rest ist missing...?- Trying the same query directly at our oracle server console returns all values correctly.
There is no listing limitation regarding the datasets. It seems, that the db type does'nt matter because i get the same results with my old sybase db.
Any Ideas?
David

Your listing (A to Z) is more than likely greater than 1000 values, see this link for a work around.

Help with dynamic statement returning values into collection

Hi All
I am trying to use dynamic statement to return values into a collection using the returning clause. However, I get an ORA-00933 error. Here is a simple setup:
create table t(
    pk number,
    id_batch varchar2(30),
    date_created date,
    constraint t_pk primary key ( pk )
create or replace type num_ntt is table of number;
create or replace type vc2_ntt is table of varchar2(30);
create or replace
package pkg
as
type rec is record(
      pk        num_ntt,
      id_batch vc2_ntt
procedure p(
      p_count in number,
      p_rt    out nocopy rec
end pkg;
create or replace
package body pkg
as
procedure p(
      p_count in number,
      p_rt    out nocopy rec
is
begin
      execute immediate '
      insert into t
      select level, ''x'' || level, sysdate
      from   dual
      connect by level <= :p_count
      returning pk, id_batch into :pk, :id_batch'
      using p_count returning bulk collect into p_rt.pk, p_rt.id_batch;
end p;
end pkg;
declare
r pkg.rec;
begin
pkg.p( 5, r );
end;

but I am working with dynamic statement and returning multiple fields into a collection.And using an INSERT...SELECT statement combined with a RETURNING INTO clause still does not work. Whether it's dynamic SQL or not: it doesn't work. The link describes a workaround.
By the way, I don't see why you are using dynamic SQL here. Static SQL will do just fine. And so you can literally copy Adrian's setup.

ah ok , I was confused with this q:= q||'AND (ab.status = '''||list_status(i)||'''';I think I get it now
basically stop the string and write double quotes before the variable
'AND (ab.status = ' + ''||list_status(i)||'' + ''No, more like "wherever I want a single quote within a string, I put two single quotes instead and that tells oracle it's a quote and not the end of the string".

How to make content of af:popup dynamic? Component Value is not updating.

HI,
     I am not able to update the component used in af:popup dynamically.
     In my case, the value of the component used in the popup is updated every time before opening the popup.
     I am building the af:popup. I am using component binding for my components. And I am setting data in the component using the component in the Managed bean only. The getter method for every component that I bind gets called only once i.e. while loading of the page. So when ever I change any thing in the component in managed bean, it is not reflecting in JSPX page. Coz it not calling the getter method of the component, so it is not getting the updated status for the component. But if you refresh the page you will get the updated component.
     Following is the sample code to simulate my problem,
     JSPX Page:-
<af:commandButton text="RCF Dialog (Without Script)" id="button1"
windowHeight="600" windowWidth="600">
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId="samplePopup" alignId="button1"
align="afterEnd"/>
</af:commandButton>
<af:popup id="samplePopup" clientComponent="false"
contentDelivery="lazyUncached">
<af:dialog title="Sample Dialog Test" modal="true"
cancelVisible="true" okVisible="true">
<af:inputText label="Label 1" value="#{searchField.myValue}"/>
<af:inputText label="Label 2" binding="#{searchField.textField}" />
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
Managed Bean:-
public static int count = 1;
private String myValue = null;
private CoreInputText textField = new CoreInputText();
public String getMyValue(){
String value = "MESSAGE_" + count;
System.out.println("Count ==>" count " Value ==>"+value);
count++;
return value;
public CoreInputText getTextField() {
//Get called only once at the page load.
textField.setValue(getMyValue()+"_XXX");
return textField;
public void setTextField(CoreInputText textField) {
//Get called every time dialog is opened.
this.textField = textField;
Please let me know what to do make the content of the af:popup dynamic.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Multiple return values (Bug-ID 4222792)

I had exactly the same request for the same 3 reasons: strong type safety and code correctness verification at compile-time, code readability and ease of mantenance, performance.
Here is what Sun replied to me:
Autoboxing and varargs are provided as part of
JSRs 14 and 201
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=14
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=201
See also:
http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=316
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/adding_generics/index.html
Multiple return values is covered by Bug-ID 4222792
Typically this is done by returning an array.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4222792.html
That's exactly the problem: we dynamically create instances of array objects that would better fit well within the operand stack without stressing the garbage collector with temporary Array object instances (and with their backing store: 2 separate allocations that need to be recycled when it is clearly a pollution that the operand stack would clean up more efficiently)
If you would like to engage in a discussion with the Java Language developers, the Generics forum would be a better place:
http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=316
I know that (my report was already refering to the JSR for language extension) Generics is not what I was refering to (even if a generic could handle multiple return values, it would still be an allocated Object
instance to pack them, i.e. just less convenient than using a static class for type safety.
The most common case of multiple return values involve values that have known static datatypes and that should be checked with strong typesafety.
The simple case that involves returning two ints then will require at least two object instances and will not solve the garbage collection overhead.
Using a array of variable objects is exactly similar, except that it requires two instances for the components and one instance for the generic array container. Using extra method parameters with Integer, Byte, ... boxing objects is more efficient, but for now the only practical solution (which causes the least pollution in the VM allocator and garbage collector) is to use a custom class to store the return values in a single instance.
This is not natural, and needlessly complexifies many interfaces.
So to avoid this pollution, some solutions are used such as packing two ints into a long and returning a long, depacking the long after return (not quite clean but still much faster at run-time for methods that need to be used with high frequencies within the application. In some case, the only way to cut down the overhead is to inline methods within the caller code, and this does not help code maintenance by splitting the implementation into small methods (something that C++ can do very easily, both because it supports native types parameters by reference, and because it also supports inline methods).
Finally, suppose we don't want to use tricky code, difficult to maintain, then we'll have to use boxing Object types to allow passing arguments by reference. Shamely boxed native types cannot be allocated on the operand stack as local variables, so we need to instanciate these local variables before call, and we loose the capacity to track the cases where these local variables are not really initialized by an effective call to the method that will assign them. This does not help debugging, and is against the concept of a strongly typed language like Java should be:
Java makes lots of efforts to track uninitialized variables, but has no way to determine if an already instanciated Object instance refered in a local variable has effectively received an effective assignment because only the instanciation is kept. A typical code will then need to be written like this:
Integer a = null;
Integer b = null;
if (some condition) {
//call.method(a, b, 0, 1, "dummy input arg");
// the method is supposed to have assigned a value to a and b,
// but can't if a and b have not been instanciated, so we perform:
call.method(a = new Integer(), b = new Integer(), 0, 1, "dummy input
arg");
// we must suppose that the method has modified (not initialized!)
the value
// of a and b instances.
now.use(a.value(), b.value())
// are we sure here that a and b have received a value????
// the code may be detected at run-time (a null exception)
// or completely undetected (the method() above was called but it
// forgot to assign a value to its referenced objects a and b, in which
// case we are calling in fact: now.use(0, 0); with the default values
// or a and b, assigned when they were instanciated)
Very tricky... Hard to debug. It would be much simpler if we just used:
int a;
int b;
if (some condition) {
(a, b) = call.method(0, 1, "dummy input arg");
now.use(a, b);
The compiler would immediately detect the case where a and b are in fact not always initialized (possible use bere initialization), and the first invoked call.method() would not have to check if its arguments are not null, it would not compile if it forgets to return two values in some code path...
There's no need to provide extra boxing objects in the source as well as at run-time, and there's no stress added to the VM allocator or garbage collector simply because return values are only allocated on the perand stack by the caller, directly instanciated within the callee which MUST (checked at compile-time) create such instances by using the return statement to instanciate them, and the caller now just needs to use directly the variables which were referenced before call (here a and b). Clean and mean. And it allows strong typechecking as well (so this is a real help for programmers.
Note that the signature of the method() above is:
class call {
(int, int) method(int, int, String) { ... }
id est:
class "call", member name "method", member type "(IILjava.lang.string;)II"
This last signature means that the method can only be called by returning the value into a pair of variables of type int, or using the return value as a pair of actual arguments for another method call such as:
call.method(call.method("dummy input arg"), "other dummy input arg")
This is strongly typed and convenient to write and debug and very efficient at run-time...

Can anyone give me some real-world examples where
multiple return values aren't better captured in a
class that logically groups those values? I can of
course give hundreds of examples for why it's better
to capture method arguments as multiple values instead
of as one "logical object", but whenever I've hankered
for multiple return values, I end up rethinking my
strategy and rewriting my code to be better Object
Oriented.I'd personally say you're usually right. There's almost always a O-O way of avoiding the situation.
Sometimes though, you really do just want to return "two ints" from a function. There's no logical object you can think of to put them in. So you end up polluting the namespace:
public class MyUsefulClass {
public TwoInts calculateSomething(int a, int b, int c) {
public static class TwoInts {
    //now, do I use two public int fields here, making it
    //in essence a struct?
   //or do I make my two ints private & final, which
   //requires a constructor & two getters?
//and while I'm at it, is it worth implementing
//equals(), how about hashCode()? clone()?
//readResolve() ?
}The answer to most of the questions for something as simple as "TwoInts" is usually "no: its not worth implementing those methods", but I still have to think about them.
More to the point, the TwoInts class looks so ugly polluting the top level namespace like that, MyUsefulClass.TwoInts is public, that I don't think I've ever actually created that class. I always find some way to avoid it, even if the workaround is just as ugly.
For myself, I'd like to see some simple pass-by-value "Tuple" type. My fear is it'd be abused as a way for lazy programmers to avoid creating objects when they should have a logical type for readability & maintainability.
Anyone who has maintained code where someone has passed in all their arguments as (mutable!) Maps, Collections and/or Arrays and "returned" values by mutating those structures knows what a nightmare it can be. Which I suppose is an argument that cuts both ways: on the one hand you can say: "why add Tuples which would be another easy thing to abuse", on the other: "why not add Tuples, given Arrays and the Collections framework already allow bad programmers to produce unmainable mush. One more feature isn't going to make a difference either way".
Ho hum.

Error getting return value from function

Hello
I'm getting a error calling a function with ODP.NET from C#
Code:
OracleCommand oraCom = new OracleCommand("NORMALIZACION.nif",oraCon);
oraCom.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
OracleParameter param1 = new OracleParameter("numnif",OracleDbType.Varchar2);
param1.Value= "73667866A";
param1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
OracleParameter param2 = new OracleParameter("nif",OracleDbType.Varchar2);
param2.Size = 10; //FIXME line
param2.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;
oraCom.Parameters.Add(param1);
oraCom.Parameters.Add(param2);
oraCom.ExecuteNonQuery();
nif_norm = oraCom.Parameters["nif"].Value.ToString();
if i write the FIXME line i get a error (ORA-06502) complaining about the size, no matter the value i wrote.
If i don't write the FIXME line, it works but nif_norm is always empty, although the function i call is a single return 'Hello';
Where am I wrong??
Any help, examples with varchar2 as return value???
BTW: the same code with the MS provider for Oracle works fine.

Good point -- i shall do so.
What I think I'm missing, in my quest for ODP.NET competence, is a solid set of example code. I've searched around and found various fragements here and there, but when it comes to data access from .NET there must surely be some finitie set of possibilities (if we can discount bad practices like building dynamic SQL statements without bind variables).
For example, possibly in increasing order of complexity ...
* Read a single value from a SQL statement ... "select emp_name from emp where rownum < 2"
* Read a single value by passing in a parameter ... "select emp_name from emp where user_id = :?"
* read multiple values ... "select emp_name from emp where user_id in (:?,:?)"
* execute a stored procedure with no in or out parameters
* retreive a value from a function with no parameters
* pass a parameter to a stored procedure
* read an out parameter from a stored procedure
Then work with in and out ref cursors, blobs, whatever.
Thoughts?

Unable to retreive the return value of pl/sql function using DB Adapter

Dear Experts,
I am using DB Adapter in my BPEL Process. Using DB Adapter I am invoking a PL / SQL function. I am able to send two input parameters for the pl/sql function. But I dont know how to retrieve the return value from the function. Please suggest me.
Thanks,

Yes I am returning a value from PL/SQL function.
Please see the code segments below,
FUNCTION "TD_INSERT" (a TDINIT_TYPE, stops TDDETAIL_TABLE )
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
td_no Number;
td_id Number;
stop TDDETAILFULL_TYPE;
length number;
BEGIN
insert into TD_INIT values( ----passing all the values here --------- );
select max(tdno) into td_no from TD_INIT ;
length := stops.count;
for i in 1.. length loop
stop := stops(i);
insert into TD_DETAIL_FULL values(
td_no, ------- );
end loop;
commit;
RETURN td_no;
END;
Thanks,

How to call an Oracle Procedure and get a return value in Php

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone tried calling an Oracle procedure from Php using the ora functions and getting the return value ? I need to use the ora funtions (no oci)because of compatibility and oracle 7.x as the database.
The reason why I post this here is because the ora_exec funtion is returning FALSE but the error code displayes is good. Is this a bug in the ora_exec funtion ?
My code after the connection call is as follows:
$cur = ora_open($this->conn);
ora_commitoff($this->conn);
$requestid = '144937';
echo $requestid;
$rc = ora_parse($cur, "begin p_ins_gsdata2
(:requestid, :returnval); end;");
if ($rc == true) {
echo " Parse was successful ";
$rc2 = ora_bind ($cur, "requestid", ":requestid", 32, 1);
if ($rc2 == true) echo " Requestid Bind Successful ";
$rc3 = ora_bind ($cur, "returnval", ":returnval", 32, 2);
if ($rc3 == true) echo " Returnval Bind Successful ";
$returnval = "0";
$rc4 = ora_exec($cur);
echo " Result = ".$returnval." ";
if ($rc4 == false) {
echo " Exec Returned FALSE ";
echo " Error = ".ora_error($cur);
echo " ";
echo "ErrorCode = ".ora_errorcode($cur);
echo "Error Executing";
ora_close ($cur);
The Oracle procedure has a select count from a table and it returns the number of records in that table. It's defined as:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure p_ins_gsdata2 (
p_requestid IN varchar2 default null,
p_retcode OUT varchar2)
as
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT (*) INTO p_retcode
FROM S_GSMRY_DATA_SURVEY
WHERE request_id = p_requestid ;
COMMIT;
RETURN;
END;
Nothing much there. I want to do an insert into a table,
from the procedure later, but I figured that I start with a select count since it's simpler.
When I ran the Php code, I get the following:
144937
Parse was successful
Requestid Bind Successful
Returnval Bind Successful
Result = 0
Exec Returned FALSE
Error = ORA-00000: normal, successful completion -- while
processing OCI function OBNDRA
ErrorCode = 0
Error Executing
I listed the messages on separate lines for clarity. I don't understand why it parses and binds o.k. but the exec returns false.
Thanks again in advance for your help. Have a great day.
Regards,
Rudi

retcode=`echo $?`is a bit convoluted. Just use:
retcode=$?I see no EOF line terminating your input. Your flavour of Unix might not like that - it might ignore the command, though I'd be surprised (AIX doesn't).
replace the EXEC line with :
select 'hello' from dual;
and see if you get some output - then you know if sqlplus commands are being called from your script. You didn't mentioned whether you see the banner for sqlplus. Copy/paste the output that you get, it will give us much more of an idea.

Assigning LOV return Value to multiple text items

I have a table xx_querywith fields
text_item,query
i have inserted into the xx_query table
insert into xx_query(text_item,query)
values(text_item1,'select sysdate from dual');
insert into xx_query(text_item,query)
values(text_item2,'select sysdate-1 from dual');
I have created a record group dynamically and i am getting the query from the query column of the xx_query table into the record group(say test_rg)
I have created a LOV test_lov and thr set_lov_property i have populated the test_rg query into the test_LOV
is it possible for me to set the return item of the LOV dynamically so that i can get the LOV on the item which i want to ?
thanks

Hi All
thanks for your responses
I have Created a control item and assigned the return value of the LOV to the control item
and i have assigned the LOV to the text item that i want
Currently when i navigate to the text item the LOV is visible
but when i select a value from the LOV the value is not getting populated into the text item
I have assigned the value of the control item to the text item
but i am not sure in which trigger to write the code so as when i select the value from the LOV the value should be shown on the form populating in the text item
Thanks

Calling web service via utl_dbws with unbounded return values

Hello, everyone.
I'm trying to use utl_dbws to call web service from Oracle DB 10 g.
WS has unbounded return value:
<xs:element maxOccurs='unbounded' minOccurs='0' name='return' type='xs:string'/>
I'm setting return paramter in web service call handler like this:
sys.UTL_DBWS.set_return_type(l_h_service_call, cs_qname_type_string);
and when I'm trying to call it from PL/SQL function I'm getting an error:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
deserialization error: XML reader error: unexpected character content: "s2"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_DBWS", line 388
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_DBWS", line 385
ORA-06512: at line 38
I've tried to return values by out parameters and got the same exception.
It looks like utl_dbws needs to know parameters count before calling.
Have anyone succeded in getting arrays from Web Service call?
This is a part of wsdl:
<xs:complexType name='getProcessList'>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs='0' name='nameMask' type='xs:string'/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name='getProcessListResponse'>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs='unbounded' minOccurs='0' name='return' type='xs:string'/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Throught SoapUI I can produce such kind of request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:proc="http://processmanager.argustelecom.ru/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<proc:getProcessList>
<processNameMask>*</processNameMask>
</proc:getProcessList>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
and get a response:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<env:Header/>
<env:Body>
<ns2:getProcessListResponse xmlns:ns2="http://processmanager.argustelecom.ru/">
<return>s1</return>
<return>s2</return>
<return>s3</return>
<return>s4</return>

Hi Tony
I'm not sure if you would have solved your problem by now, but with my recent experience with the utl_dbws package, for doc lits with complex data types, you have to call the service with an XML request, as opposed to passing the param array.
If you still need details, reply accordingly.

How to exit from SQL*Plus based on the return value of a SQL select stment?

Hi
I have a SQL script executed from SQL*Plus. I would like to know if SQL*Plus
supports any kind of branching or exiting from script execution based on a
returned value of a SQL select statement. I am on 9i.
Regards,
Tamas Szecsy

in sqlplus, you have whenever
ex:
whenever sqlerror exit failure
insert into ...
-- if this fails, then you will be out
insert into ...
-- if this fails, then you will be out
whenever sqlerror continue
insert into ...
-- if this fails, this continues
insert into ...and you have PL/SQL
declare x number;
begin
select count(*) into x from emp;
if (x=14) then null; end if;
end;
/note that you can mix those in some case
-- exit if there is no row in emp
whenever sqlerror exit 1
var dummy number
exec select count(*) into :dummy from emp having count(*)!=0

Double Quotes In LOV Return Value Being Replaced With &qu ot; By APEX 4

My company recently upgraded our development and test boxes to APEX 4.0.2, which we have been wanting for a while now. We discovered that since the upgrade some of our checkboxes and radio groups no longer work as expected. What I mean by this is that the return values being checked for were not correct, and on several occasions we received PL/SQL errors related to numeric to character conversion issues.
After debugging some it turns out that we have the following LOV query for one of our Checkboxes:
select
statement d,
stmt_id || '" title="&P20_FORM_STMT. ' || statement || '.' r
from
stmts
The return value for the LOV is setup so that it would return a 508 compliant checkbox. We were told we needed a title for each value of a checkbox or radio group to be 508 compliant. These titles must also be relevant to the selection being made, hence the substitution string being used in the return value.
What I discovered in all of this is that APEX 3.2 did not convert the double quotes in our return value to &qu ot;, but APEX 4.0.2 does. This causes the value of any given checkbox or radio group to look like the following:
value="1&qu ot; title=&qu ot;This is the statement that I have made."
And what we are looking for, and what APEX used to do is this:
value="1" title="This is the statement that I have made."
Does anyone know a way to prevent APEX from converting the double quotes to &qu ot;, or is there a way to insert an element attribute for each checkbox or radio group value that contains a substitution string?
Thanks in advance!

4.2.1
Hi,
I have a classic report, which has a count column that is hyperlinked. using the standard apex column hyperlink option. In that we have the option of passing values. I noticed that when I am passing a value which has "/" in it, it replaces the / with & #x2F;
I have created a application item which I am populating with the report column.
Because of which I cannot use that value in the report query.
Any suggestions?Yes. Don't pass string values in URLs. Especially where it is possible for these strings to contain URI reserved or APEX sensitive characters. This might work for a while but your application can be broken months from now by users including a "&" or ":" in data that gets passed as a URL parameter. Whilst it is possible to escape strings to make them URL- and APEX parameter-safe, it is much better practice to avoid the problem altogether.
Exposing data in the URL may also introduce security vulnerabilities. Also note that the maximum length of a URL in Microsoft Internet Explorer is about 2KB, which can easily be exceeded by throwing a few string values at it.
Only use discrete alphanumeric key values as URL parameters. In target pages/regions, use these key values to retrieve the required data using item source attributes and processes.

Group by on Function return value

Dear All
I'm facing a problem with when I have a group by on the return value of a function.
Following is the scenario.
Im having the following select query which executes in less than millisec for more than 20k records.
SELECT T1.FIELD1,T1.FIELD2, MY_FUNCTION(T1.FIELD2) FROM TABLE T1 ;
But when I modify the above query in the following way for the same number of records, the performance is going down to more than 4 mts.
SELECT T1.FIELD1,T1.FIELD2, MY_FUNCTION(T1.FIELD2)FIELD3 FROM TABLE T1 GROUP BY T1.FIELD1,T1.FIELD3;
can any one please suggest me whats the best solution in this regard.
Thanks in advance

Everything which is not affected by aggregate functions
should be included into GROUP BY. And GROUP BY can't use
aliases but expressions only.
You have to think what exactly do you want to get
for FIELD02 - do you want get max/min/avg/count ?

(I'm asking because your query probably should look like
SELECT T1.FIELD1,T1.FIELD2, MY_FUNCTION(T1.FIELD2) FIELD3 FROM TABLE T1 GROUP BY T1.FIELD1,T1.FIELD2

SQL SELECT and Return values

I have a simple SELECT statement in a Stored Proc that
queries 2 tables in
SQL Server 2000 using a join. My problem is I want to return
values based on
the outcome of the query eg. if a row is returned then return
1, or return 2
if no rows are found. I have tried various ways to implement
this and they
always work fine in Query Analyser but in Dreamweaver MX2004
either return
no return values ( or at least they are not displayed on my
page ) or the
return values are inconsistent. I am using a DW Command.
I know this is DW and not my code as Query Analyser produces
the correct
values every time. Can anyone tell me what code I can use
that is DW
friendly please.
Thanks.

I read your note with a great degree of sympathy but no
solutions. I was having the same trouble with access tables after 4
years of trouble free connections. It may not be relevant but the
solutions for my problem was a Server software SP release. Details
are:
Following the avalanche of hints and tips I am pleased to
report that there is a problem with Dreamweaver MX and MX2004 when
connecting to Access databases running on Windows Server 2003 SP1.
Whilst it is covered in the knowledge base I note that others in
the forum are having similar difficulties with Sequel connections
and unable to retrieve failures.
There is a "fix" - SP2DBFix1.0.2.mxp - for my problem and I
cannot be alone in experiencing this.
And just in case anyone from Adobe is reading this, you
should have written to all your registered and paid up members
informing us of this problem when WS2003 SP1 was released!
Hope this helps.
