EA1 Opening PL/SQL code

In 1.2.1 I'd open a worksheet via the tool bar drop down control. Then a right mouse click would reveal a menu with an Open file option. Next I'd open my file, which happens to be a .pkb.
This is not available in 1.5, but WORSE still the open file tool bar option ignores my preference settings, so I have to navigate to the required directory/file. The it the file opens in a source window. I've setup my colour scheme, which works in the worksheet. However the source window is only a black and white world. :o(
How do I open a file into a worksheet?
or
How do I apply colour to the source view?

That preferences is for executing scripts in sql worksheet with @ or @@. It is equivalent to the SQLPATH environment variable.
I've not seen it, but apparently this directory shows up as a short cut on the fileopen dialog (intermittently, there is a bug affecting it).
What I currently see is a shortcut called sql which seems to corrsepond to the last directory I was in. There is another thread on this EA2: Dialog shortcuts

  • Need PL/SQL code for this

    Hi,
    I need a PL/SQL code for this one...
    Let me know if something is not clear...
    1) The table CLOB_CLOBJECT_CDA has the columns described below...
    Explaining only those fields which are important in this context
    -- CDA_STEP_ID : Basically a Sequence
    -- CLOBJECT_SOURCE1_ID : Every id has got a set of records
    -- CLOBJECT_SOURCE2_ID : Every id has got a set of records
    -- LVL : There are total 8 levels..
    This is the main aim :
    1) There are total 16 million rows..(limited to 10 rows here)
    2) We need to go through level by level (LVL column) & insert the intersection records (CLOBJECT_SOURCE1_ID intersect CLOBJECT_SOURCE2_ID)
    into another table...but this is how it goes..
    Level (LVL column) 3's basically have CLOBJECT_SOURCE1_ID as level (LVL column) 2 CDA_STEP_ID's..
    (consider the statement --** where CLOBJECT_SOURCE1_ID = 285 which is same as 1st insert statement step id)..
    The above process goes for next levels until 8..(so have to use loops)
    So for ex :
    We go through the first insert statement and insert the insertion records only when both CLOBJECT_SOURCE1_ID & CLOBJECT_SOURCE2_ID has got records ..
    If we don't find any records for both of them we should skip the corresponding step id when we go to the next levels...
    Let's go through the 1st insert statement...
    -- We have CDA_STEP_ID = 285 & two sources CLOBJECT_SOURCE1_ID as 19 & CLOBJECT_SOURCE2_ID as 74...
    -- We see the table CLOBJECT_COUNTS & check whether we have counts for both 19 & 74 ..(In fact we insert counts into this table only if they have records)
    -- If so, we insert the intersection records into CDA_MRN_RESULTS ( we do have counts for both of them..) with CDA_STEP_ID 285...
    -- Then we insert the step id which is 285 along with the count into CLOBJECT_COUNTS..
    Let's go through another insert statement...
    -- Consider CDA_STEP_ID = 288 which has two sources CLOBJECT_SOURCE1_ID as 19 & CLOBJECT_SOURCE2_ID as 92...
    -- We see the table CLOBJECT_COUNTS & check whether we have counts for both 19 & 92 ..(we have records for 19 but not for 92)
    -- So we should not proceed with this..& also skip all those records (future records with increasing levels..basically level 3's) which have got 288 as CLOBJECT_SOURCE1_ID..
    (As said earlier that the present CDA_STEP_ID will always be CLOBJECT_SOURCE1_ID in the next level)...
    I wrote the following code which is after the statement...
    Let me have the create & insert statements here..

  • Explain plans for PL/SQL code?

    Hi!
    I am pulling SQL statements (select, insert, update, delete, etc.) from PL/SQL code and producing explain plans. Some of the delete statements have "WHERE CURRENT OF" in them which produces an ORA-3001 error (feature not implemented) error. How can I do an explain plan of these statements? Can I replace "WHERE CURRENT OF" with "=" to get a plan? How far off will the plan be? Any suggestions, ideas, etc. greatfully appreciated!
    This is Oracle 9.2.0.4/5 on AIX if it makes a difference.
    Thanks!

  • Dynamic PL/SQL code into ODI Procedure

    Hi guys:
    I have a PL/SQL code to execute into a ODI proc that changes because of a loop.
    I have to update N tables that have the same prefix and its sufix is the dynamic part of my PL/SQL. Also I have to set the DT_ETL (I already have a variable in my package with the sysdate) and the limit of a rownum.
    These are my variables:
    vGET_CD_BASE*
    vQTD_REG_UPDATE*
    vETL_DATE*
    The PL/SQL is described below (with the dynamic parts of it as ODI variables #vXXXXX):
    DECLARE
    CURSOR v_Cur IS
    SELECT ROWID KEY_ROW FROM GG_DATA.WRK_SN_DET_ITEM_EXTR_PARC_*#vGET_CD_BASE* WHERE DT_ETL = TO_DATE('01/01/1900','DD/MM/YYYY') and rownum < *#vQTD_REG_UPDATE*;
    TYPE t_Tabela IS TABLE OF ROWID INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    r_Reg t_Tabela;
    BEGIN
    OPEN v_Cur;
    LOOP
    FETCH v_Cur BULK COLLECT INTO r_Reg LIMIT 100000;
    FORALL i IN 1..r_Reg.COUNT
    UPDATE GG_DATA.WRK_SN_DET_ITEM_EXTR_PARC_*#vGET_CD_BASE*
    SET DT_ETL = TO_DATE('*#vETL_DATE*','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
    WHERE ROWID = r_Reg(i);
    EXIT WHEN v_Cur%NOTFOUND;
    COMMIT;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE v_Cur;
    COMMIT;
    END;
    What do I have to change to make this PL/SQL works in ODI Procedure?
    Regards.
    Luiz Araujo

    Luiz,
    One way you could do is by using the "Command on Source" and "Command on Target" feature of an ODI procedure:
    In Command on Source, you can write query like:
    >
    select vGET_CD_BASE, vQTD_REG_UPDATE, vETL_DATE from some_configuration_table_containing_n_rows
    >
    In Command on Target, you can write:
    >
    DECLARE
    CURSOR v_Cur IS
    SELECT ROWID KEY_ROW FROM GG_DATA.WRK_SN_DET_ITEM_EXTR_PARC_#vGET_CD_BASE WHERE DT_ETL = TO_DATE('01/01/1900','DD/MM/YYYY') and rownum < #vQTD_REG_UPDATE;
    TYPE t_Tabela IS TABLE OF ROWID INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    r_Reg t_Tabela;
    BEGIN
    OPEN v_Cur;
    LOOP
    FETCH v_Cur BULK COLLECT INTO r_Reg LIMIT 100000;
    FORALL i IN 1..r_Reg.COUNT
    UPDATE GG_DATA.WRK_SN_DET_ITEM_EXTR_PARC_#vGET_CD_BASE
    SET DT_ETL = TO_DATE('*#vETL_DATE*','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
    WHERE ROWID = r_Reg(i);
    EXIT WHEN v_Cur%NOTFOUND;
    COMMIT;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE v_Cur;
    COMMIT;
    END;
    >
    So, for "n" records that are returned by the source query, your PL/SQL package will run "n" times, each time substituting the values of vGET_CD_BASE, vQTD_REG_UPDATE, vETL_DATE respectively.

    Hi,
    Here's my suggestion
    If you wanna access the dll check out "external procedures", you can search it everywhere in OTN.
    However it's easier to use Heterogenous Services to connect database with other sources.
    Check out http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:13454621522426176943::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:4406709207206,

    When you are looking at the report title, withOUT clicking on the report, when you hover over the report name, notice how there is a downward triangle on the right?  Move your mouse over that, and pull that down.  One of the choices listed is "Download..." 
    Click on that, and save the report's RDL to a location you'll remember.
    Go to that location after saving, and you can open up that .rdl file using Notepad.  A lot of the report will be for formatting, colors, etc; but if you search for the word "Select", you'll find at last one; possibly more if there are parameters

    Hi Marie,
    as Matthew says, the only part of the code that could result in that error is the select into statement. This is because, in pl/sql, a select into statement is expected to return one row only. If it returns no rows it raises a no data found exception and if it returns more than one row it raises a too many rows error.
    If it is acceptable that this query may return no rows, then you have to handle this situation. The two methods that you can use would be firstly to use a named cursor and fetch a row from this, if there is no data then it does not raise an exception. The other method would be to put in an exception handler around the select statement.
    EG - prefered, mainly because I think it is better to code in a way that minimises exception handling.
    declare

  • How to print all pl/sql code in a form?

    Is there a way in Forms 6i to print out all the PL/SQL code in that form without having to open up every trigger, etc. and click Print? I'd like to get a text file dump of all the code for each Form in my application.

    Have you tried the Object List Report (under File --> Administration) It will include other information as well as the PL/SQL e.g. properties of items etc, but all the PL/SQL should be there.

  • View the SQL code

    Hello,
    I'd really like to see the SQL code generated for a webi request in XI version 3.0. Could you help me please ?
    In webi XI R2, you have a little button "i"sql that open the windows with the code (from the request) ; I find this functionality quite practical to look for a bug !
    Thank you for your answer,
    Regards,
    Camille

    Hi Camille,
    If it is built over a Relational DB eg Oracle and you have the permission granted then you should be able to see the SQL Viewer button.
    If your universe is connecting to a OLAP Cube, SAP BEx query or anyother data source based on MDX then it will not be available.
    If this is not the case for you I would report it as a bug.

    This seems to be your problem, the pipe is wrongly defined. On Windows it looks like
    \\.\pipe1

  • PL/SQL code written in db or in application...????

    Hi ,
    Which is the best...at performance , maintability... e.t.c.???
    To write PL/SQL as validation process of data values going to be inserted in db:
    1) as db trigger (before insert or update row-level trigger)
    2) in application level - in Forms10g...
    This PL/SQL code compares some pairs of data values only.... there DML statement....
    Both db server and App server are considered to be or in the same machine or in two machines very close to each other...
    Note: i use Db10g .
    Thanks...

    It is all about moving parts. How many there are. Where they are located.
    The less moving parts, the less the complexity, the bugs - and the better the performance (less wheels to turn to crunch data), the easier the maintenance and the better the flexibility.
    Part of this is having the moving parts close to the data. Kind of obvious - what is faster? Shipping data from the db engine to a front-end application via a app server and web server? Or shipping the data from the db (SQL) engine to a PL/SQL process running as part and parcel of db instance? IPC is significantly faster than TCP/IP.
    Having the moving parts close to the data also means that it can scale with the data. Oracle is good at scalability. It is designed at its very core to be scalable. Partitions to reduce I/O. Shared Server to reduce o/s resource footprint per client session. Shared pool to re-use SQL. DB buffer to cache data. RAC to run multiple db instances for a single physical database. Etc. Etc.
    With the application moving parts being close to the data, it inherits this scalability. You can "multi-thread" application code using table pipelines. You have access to forking application code using background processes (DBMS_JOB and DBMS_SCHEDULER). You have bulk processing in order to transfer more data per SQL engine call, between the buffer cache and your application, and thus also reduce expensive context switching.
    This list goes on and on.
    All this is summarised into the following rules.
    Rule 1. Do it in SQL.
    Rule 2. Only when SQL cannot do it, use PL/SQL. (e.g. SQL is not suited for managing and controlling process flow - PL/SQL is)
    Rule 3. Only when PL/SQL cannot do it, use <insert-language-here> (e.g. PL/SQL cannot render a Windows grid on the client - but Delphi/C#//Java can).
    Also keep in mind that in the modern client-server paradigm we deal with a web architecture. Which means the client is a web browser. And this means that PL/SQL can pass the data (HTML) required by the client (web browser) to render the User Interface.
    Have a look at APEX (Oracle's Application Express) for how this works. http://apex.oracle.com
    All you need to develop web applications is APEX (a PL/SQL product suite in the database) and a web browser. Kickass stuff... :-)

  • REPORT WITH PL/SQL  CODE

    DECLARE
    SQ VARCHAR2(100);
    BEGIN
    SQ := 'SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO=7788';
    RETURN SQ;
    END
    THE ABOVE PL/SQL CODE WORKING FINE
    BUT I NEED CONDITION BASED ON ENAME
    SQ:='SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE ENAME=''SCOTT'';
    IT IS GIVEING ERROR
    WHAT TO DO?

    Hi,
    You're missing the final quote - you have the quotes for SCOTT but not the one to close the SQ string:
    DECLARE
    SQ VARCHAR2(100);
    BEGIN
    SQ := 'SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO=''SCOTT''';
    RETURN SQ;
    ENDAndy
