Error - remote stored procedure includes in a function

Question

Hi,
I have a stored procedure, it runs properly
ecos.GetCustTier@BSCSDEV in PL/SQL
But after included into function F_GETCUSTTIER, it comes error.
SQL> select f_getcusttier(585510,'20020808') from dual
ORA-06571: Function F_GETCUSTTIER does not guarantee not to update database
[Function F_GETCUSTTIER]
create or replace FUNCTION f_getcusttier(
Begin
ecos.GetCustTier@BSCSDEV(i_customer_id, i_at_date, o_seqno, o_custcode, o_tier_id, o_tier_des, o_join_date, o_join_reason,
o_renewal_date, o_next_review_date, o_last_review_amt_no, o_exit_date, o_exit_reason,
o_input_by, o_input_date, o_update_by, o_update_date, o_expiry_date, o_next_job_review_date,
o_status_id, o_return_code);
RETURN o_tier_id;
I also try to create a package for this function
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE abc AS
FUNCTION f_getcusttier(i_customer_id number, i_at_date varchar2) RETURN NUMBER;
PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES(f_getcusttier, WNDS);
END abc;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY bwan AS
FUNCTION f_getcusttier(
i_customer_id in number,
i_at_date in varchar2
Begin
ecos.GetCustTier@BSCSDEV(i_customer_id, i_at_date, o_seqno, o_custcode, o_tier_id, o_tier_des, o_join_date, o_join_reason,
o_renewal_date, o_next_review_date, o_last_review_amt_no, o_exit_date, o_exit_reason,
o_input_by, o_input_date, o_update_by, o_update_date, o_expiry_date, o_next_job_review_date,
o_status_id, o_return_code);
RETURN o_tier_id;
But with Warning: Package Body created with compilation errors.
2/1 PLS-00452: Subprogram 'F_GETCUSTTIER' violates its associated
pragma
How can I fixed it? Can function pack with remote stored procedure?
DB version: 8.0.4.4.0
I know that this problem is resolved in Release 8.1, is it no solution for release 8.0.4.4.0?

Answer 1

First of all, please do not post three separate threads for the one problem. It simply clutters up the forum for the rest of us.
Prior to 8i you need to explicitly guarantee that your function does not write to the database. You do this with the RESTRICT_REFERENCES pragma:
CREATE PACKAGE yr_package AS  -- package specification
   FUNCTION whatever
         (pn IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER;
   PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES (whatever, WNDS);
END yr_package;The following link goes to a page of helpful stuff assembeled by some of use regulars:Re: How to attach a java bean in forms6i
It includes jumps to the Oracle online documentation. You may find the Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals an instructive read.
