Function called by what PL SQL procedure

Hello.
I want to see all the callers of a PL SQL function. I know it is called by some PL SQL procedures in a package. How do I see who calls the function?
Thanks.

i think you can try this : select * from
user_dependencies where type = 'FUNCTION' actually, that what should what things are referenced by your function
and you'd be better off with ALL_DEPENDENCIES, since references can cross schemas.
select name, type from all_dependencies
where referenced_owner= 'ME'
and referenced_name= 'MY_FUNCTION'
and referenced_type ='FUNCTION'
this will show what other things are using your function. if it's used by a package, it will not show the exact procedure or function within that package.

How to enable MSDOS program to be called from Oracle PL/SQL procedure ( Web Service )?

Hello,
Dealing with the time demanding procedure where power user is interactively execute sequence
of steps of procedure:
1. pl/sql procedure for preparing data in some table
2. java program that read data from the table and creating input txt file for MSDOS program
3. MSDOS program is autonomous component that reads input txt file and make
output txtfile.
MSDOS program is closed component, can not be modified
4. java program that insert txtfile into Oracle table.
5. Steps 1 to 4 are executed in interations driven with select on some table.
Trying to prepare re-design the procedure and not sure about which technologies to use ?
The goal is that whole procedure would be implemented in pl/sql procedure and this way could be executed
so as from power user from command line as from controlled application on any type of the client.
So if that MSDOS program would be transformed as Web Service offered on some MSWin server in the intranet.
Then PL/SQL procedure would communicate ( call this web service ) and do all the job and at the end
send status of completion and report through e-mail to the issuer of the procedure?
Not sure what technologies should I use on Oracle RDBMS server on Linux to communicate with MSWin Web service which is running MSDOS program ?

Yes it can be done. Simply consult the applicable manuals that contains all of the details on how to do it. The manuals are:
- Oracle® Database Application Developer's Guide - Large Objects (refer to Chapter 6 section on Using PL/SQL (DBMS_LOB Package) to Work with LOBs)
- Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference (refer to the chapter on DBMS_LOB)

Obtaining HTML page by issuing a call from a PL/SQL procedure

Is there any possibility to obtain HTMLDB -> HTML page from a user defined PL/SQL procedure ?
For example I build an procedure which calls directly
flows_010500.wwv_flow.show(null,p_flow_step_id=>'2',p_flow_id=>'104')
and i try to read the result from htp.showpage, but I get a html response page with a security error.
Maybe is necessary to initialize other parameters?
Any help?

Scott, I have got two pages in an application one is login page the other is welcome page. my login page will be process by store proceduer to validate the user based on users table that I have created on my schema. If the user login with username and password, if they exist on this table I will like to send them to welcome page. but I get http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/wwv_flow.accept.
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Please try the following:
If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Open the htmldb.oracle.com home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Back button to try another link.
Click Search to look for information on the Internet.

Calling shell script from sql procedure

Hi gurus
Is it possible
1)to call a shell script from sql procedure
2)that shell script has to return one value
3)and again sql procedure(calling shell script) has to capture the return value.
please help me to write this script

You may NOT have EXECUTE privilege/ permissions on the DBMS_PIPE package. Check with your DBA.
Using DBMS_PIPE may not be that simple to implement. Just making a call to DBMS_PIPE procedure will not do anything. It will NOT trigger anything on the UNIX side.
. You will also need to :
1. Write a job (ie CRON) at UNIX side which will keep read the incoming pipe for new messages, Unpack the message and get the command to be executed at the UNIX side -- There will be a lot of work involved here + DBA presence/activity is also required.
As Justin has pointed out, try and use HOST command which is very simple or try and use Java.

Would really appreciate all the help i can get! Thanks!

I'm getting this same problem.

Function Activity based on PL/SQL procedure

Hi All
I have a function activity in a workflow, which is based on a PL/SQL procedure. When I make any changes to the package or the stored procedure, workflow gives "Could not find package or program unit" error, even though the status of the package is valid in database.
Essentially everytime I re-apply the package, I get this error. I then drop the package and then recreate it. Even then the error is not resolved immediately. Does this requires Apache bounce? Is there any other step that I am missing when we make changes to database packages that are based on workflow activities?
It would be of great help if someone can throw light on the above.
Many thanks in advance
cheers

Dynamic function call in Forms PL/SQL [SOLVED]

I have a 10G form, which has a dropdown list of values. Depending on the value selected, I look up a setup table which will tell me the name of the database package/function to call.
I then want to call that function with a bind IN parameter and then retrieve the function return value (which is a varchar2 containing message(s) as a stream of text) to display to the user.
I have searched high and low and cannot find a good example.
(a) forms_ddl doesn't seem to have the ability
(b) dbms_sql - some forums/blogs warn away from this due to db version dependencies
(c) exec_sql seems to be very basic and more aimed at odbc calls, rather than calls to native oracle db functions.
Here is example pseudo-code of what I am attempting to do on a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger
DECLARE
v_Param1 VARCHAR2 := 'myInputValue';
v_FunctionName VARCHAR2 := 'MYDBPKG.MYFUNCTION';
v_DynamicSQL VARCHAR2;
v_Result VARCHAR2;
BEGIN
v_DynamicSQL := 'BEGIN :v_result:='||v_FunctionName||'('||chr(39)||v_Param1||chr(39)||')'; END';
Bind v_result variable;
execute dynamic sql;
message('the resulting text was <'||v_result||'>');
END;
Obviously, my code above has the function name hard-coded, but my real-life code would retrieve this function name from a database table, so I cannot call the function directly in the Forms PL/Sql.
where the db package/function looks like this:
create or replace package MYDBPKG as
function myfunction(I_Param VARCHAR2) return VARCHAR2;
end mydbpkg;
Anybody got a good example ?
Thanks
Alan

(d): don't use dynamic SQL
As far as I am concerned (from the code I am exposed to) 99,9% of dynamic SQL code is at best used when there is no need for it and at worst it is impemented the most horrific way you can imagine. OK, this is not the entire truth: in 0,4% it is used when there is no need for it, and in the other 0,5% it is used wrong. And in the other 99% it is a combination of both: it is used when there is no need for it plus it is used wrong. So the very best thing you can do is to avoid dynamic SQL.
but my real-life code would retrieve this function name from a database tablePlease don't do that. This is one of the worst things to do. Forget about the fact that it is a big security hole and most certainly will trash the shared pool of the database and bringing your server down. Most important to developers is that it is a hell of a nightmare to maintain and a lot worse to debug.
So seriously think about if you want to go down the Dynamic SQL route.

How to make a dynamic function call from within a package procedure

Hi:
I need to call a function dynamically (name and parameters determined at run time, but return value is known:always an integer). I can build the call and place it in a dynamic sql using dbms_sql. But the function is inside a package and is not public.
So, if I issue:
dbms_sql.parse( cur,'SELECT '||call||' FROM dual', dbms_sql.v7 )
where call is "DOS(234,'V')"
I get:
ORA-00904: "DOS": invalid identifier
If I make the function ("DOS") public and "call" equals "pack.DOS(234,'V')", it works fine, but I don't want to make it public.
Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance
RuBeck

Hi, Kamal:
Calling from outside of the owner package is not possible if it is not public.The calls are from inside the package. It looks like the dynamic select is executed "outside" the package, so the private function is unknown
Make it available in the package headerLooks like it's the only solution
How often this will be executed?This is a library for loading files into tables and executing dynamic validation procedures.
Here's an example of the mechanics:
create or replace package mypack as
function one return number ; -- public function
procedure execute_it( p_name VARCHAR2 ) ;
end ;
create or replace package body mypack as
function one return number is
begin
return 1 ;
end ;
function two( i number, s varchar2 ) return number is -- private function
begin
return 2 ;
end ;
procedure execute_it( p_name VARCHAR2 ) is
select_str VARCHAR2( 1000 ) ;
v_num NUMBER ;
cur NUMBER ;
nf NUMBER ;
begin
select_str := 'SELECT '||p_name||' FROM dual' ;
cur := dbms_sql.open_cursor ;
dbms_sql.parse( cur,select_str,dbms_sql.v7 ) ;
dbms_sql.define_column( cur,1, v_num ) ;
nf := dbms_sql.execute( cur ) ;
IF dbms_sql.fetch_rows( cur ) = 0 THEN
RAISE no_data_found ;
END IF ;
dbms_sql.column_value( cur, 1, v_numero ) ;
dbms_output.put_line( p_name||' returns '||v_num ) ;
dbms_sql.close_cursor( cur ) ;
end ;
end ;
begin
mypack.execute_it( 'mypack.one' ) ; -- Call public function: Works fine
mypack.execute_it( 'two(234,''v'')' ) ; -- Call private function: error 0904
end ;
Thanks for your hints

More function calls in stored procedure

Hi,
I would like to know if there are more function calls in a PL/SQL stored procedure, would it affect the performance of this procedure?
Or will it be more efficient to have the body of those functions inside the procedure itself.
Of course a method call is always costlier than the monolithic procedure but my question is how much would be difference in performance.

Varad

Yes, avoid using UDF , means especially a scalar udf... See how you can re-write a scalar udf as table valued udf.

Execute Oracle Package Function call from FORTE

Has anyone EVER successfully execute an Oracle Package Function call from FORTE
via " sql execute procedure "?
Here's my question, I am able to execute a stored procedure but hasn't figured
out a way to execute a function which defined in a package. The syntax goes
like this: sql execute procedure <PackageName>.<FunctionName> ( input
input_parm, output output_parm). If anyone EVER successfully execute a
function, please let me know, thanks.

You'll need to provide a column alias for the function call:
select func(val) as alias from dual

Runtime error R6025 Pure virtual function call....the program shuts down as soon as its opened

iTunes shuts down as soon as it is opened. Message says Runtime error R6025. pure virtual function call. What is this and can it be fixed???

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turing off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

UnsatisfiedLinkError on FUNCTION CALL !!!

Hi All,
I'm trying to use some native function from within my java app, but for some reason after the DLL is loaded successfully UnsatisfiedLinkError is thrown when I try to call of the library function.
P.S. I use Java 1.4.2_03 and MS VisualStudio 7 for the library.
P.P.S. About a year ago I've developed another library with MS Studio 6 and then I've worked with Java 1.4.0. Everything functioned perfectly ! So I've recompiled the DLL with Studio 7 (since I didn't keep the release) and the result is the same: the library is loaded but UnsatisfiedLinkError is thwrown on function call !
What could be the reason for this ?
Thanks alot in advance !
