Group by SQL functionality under OCI connection

Hi,
I am using OCI connection to load data into Essbase cube. I was just wondering, where to define group by statements in the connection panel. Because i only see Select,From and Where boxes.
Can i put my groupby script under where condition?

You can ignore the other boxes besides the select one, you can put the full sql statement in the select box though remove the select.
Cheers

  • Calling PL/SQL function from OCI?

    Hi,
    How do I execute a PL/SQL function from OCI?
    My test function:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GetNodeQuery(TypeId IN INTEGER) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    Query VARCHAR2(500);
    BEGIN
    Query := 'Select * from Logical_Name';
    RETURN Query;
    END GetNodeQuery;
    char SQL[16];
    strcpy(SQL, "GetNodeQuery(1)");
    char ColumnVariable[500];
    int VariableSize = 500;
    OCIStmtPrepare(qHandle, hError, SQL, (ub4)strlen(SQL),
    (ub4)OCI_NTV_SYNTAX, (ub4)OCI_DEFAULT);
    OCIDefineByPos(qHandle, &pDefine, hError, 1,
    (dvoid*)ColumnVariable, (sb4)VariableSize,
    1,(dvoid*)0, (ub2*)0, (ub2*)0,

    On the Execute I get an error saying that ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
    Any Help would be appreciated.
    Thank You,

    Ok, I made a mistake the
    select GetNodeQuery(1) from dual
    only works with a simple function. My real life function has a cursor via DBMS_SQL.
    I presume I would need to pass the following in my OCIStmtPrepare call:
    Define
    tmp Varchar2[256];
    begin
    tmp := GetNodeQuery(1);
    end;
    Now how do I get the value of tmp out?
    I couldn't find any examples for calling functions from OCI. If you know of some could you post the url or send them to me?
    Thanks,

    you need to modify the sqlstatement to look something like this...

    look into the OCI documentation, there are various examples of how to do it, including, binding and defining variables...

  • Grand Totals functionality under Group and Sort

    Hello community,
    Does anyone know if there is a solution for rolling up text fields in the summary line item (under the Show Grand Totals functionality under Group and Sort)? I can only find that date fields and formula fields summarize. I would like to be able to summarize all the data in one line items so I wont have a really long schedule and I can present to my end users accordingly.
    Thanks,
    P6GURUYOU

    Hope I understand,  if you have the groups setup, you should be able to (CRXI instructions) right click on the item in the Details line, insert a summary, you can select sum, add the sum to the group.  For the locations, insert a summary count, and add that to the groups.
    What I do sometimes, is select the option to add summary to all groups, Perhaps change the font to red, I can see the totals
    I want, and just suppress the other groups.  Just a quick and dirty way to do the totals.

    null

    Application Developer's Guide (A76939, page 9-60) list a few requirements from user-defined SQL function, and one of them is:
    * It must be a row function, not a column (group) function; in other words, it

  • Connection per SQL function

    I am having problems with transactions when a connection is kept in session (long period of time).
    if the user leaves the site, the connection could still be left open until the session expires.
    anyone can help me in how to use one connection per SQL function and then returning back to the pool???
    Thanks in advance

    In your page or function, just open the connection, issue your SQL, and then close the connection.
    Closing the connection releases it into the connection pool.

  • SQL functions in TOOL code

     

    In my original email I should have made the point clear that an indexed
    column was required, that led to some confusion, apologies.
    Under Oracle 7 even if the column is indexed the query engine still does a
    full scan of the index to find the maximum or minimum value. As strange as
    this seems it is possible to view it using the Oracle trace functions such
    as tkprof. This method is quicker than not having an index but the cursor
    method is far more efficient.
    When using a cursor based approach Oracle will go straight to the first
    record of the index (depending on MAX or MIN) and retrieve the data. By
    exiting at that point the function has been performed and the I/O operations
    are extremely low compared to a full index scan.
    Of course there is a trade off depending on the amount of rows but for large
    indexed tables the cursor approach will be far faster than the normal
    functions. I'm not sure how other RDBMS's handle MAX/MIN but this has been
    my experience with Oracle. This process may be faster still by using PL/SQL
    but then you are incorporating specific database languages which is
    obviously a problem if you port to a different RDBMS. Here is some code you
    can try for Oracle PL/SQL functions:
    declare
    cursor myCur1 is
    select number_field
    from number_table
    order by number_field desc;
    begin
    open myCur1;
    fetch myCur1 into :max_val;
    close myCur1;
    end;
    I hope this clarifies things a bit more. If in doubt of the execution plan
    of a performance critical query use the database trace functions as they
    show up all sorts of surprises. MAX and MIN are easy to understand when
    viewing code but perform poorly under Oracle, whether v8 behaves differently
    I have yet to discover.
    Cheers,
    Dylan.

    Subject: RE: SQL functions in TOOL code
    I guess my point is that MAX can always be implemented more
    efficiently than the SORT/ORDER-BY approach (but may not be the
    case, depending on the RDBMS). If an ORDER-BY
    can use an index (which means that the indexing mechanism involves
    a sorted collection rather than an unordered hashtable) so can
    MAX - in which case finding a MAX value could be implemented
    in either O(1) or O(logn) time, depending on the implementation.
    The last sentence being the major point of this whole discussion,
    which is that your mileage may vary depending on the RDBMS - so
    try using both approaches if performance is a problem.
    In terms of maintenance, MAX is the much more intuitive approach
    (In My Opinion, of course), since a programmer can tell right away
    what the code is attempting to do.

    Well, yes, but in that specific case (looking for max() value) would not
    be
    true that, if you have an index (and only then) on that specific column
    some
    databases (like Oracle) will be smart enough to use index and find max
    value
    without full table scan and without using order by clause?

    If (and only if) an index exists on the exact columns in the ORDER BY
    clause, some databases are smart enough to traverse the index (inforward
    or
    reverse order) instead of doing a table scan followed by a sort.
    If there is no appropriate index, you always end up with some kind ofsort
    step.
    Of course this is all highly schema- and database-dependent, so youmust
    weigh those factors when deciding to exploit this behavior.

    This seems a bit counter-intuitive to me... primarily due to
    the fact that both MAX and ORDER-BY functionality would require
    a full table scan on the given column... no? However, I would
    think that a MAX can be implemented more efficiently since it
    just requires the max value in a given set (which can be performed
    in O(n) time on an unordered set) versus an ORDER-BY (sort)
    performance on an unordered set of at best O(nlogn) time.
    Am I missing something? Please set me straight on this 'un.

    Hi Van,
    Operating a function such as MAX or MIN is possible as given in your
    example
    but it is worth pointing out the performance overhead with such a
    method.
    When you use MAX, Oracle will do a full table scan of the column so
    if
    you
    have a great many rows it is very inefficient.
    In this case use a cursor based approach and depending on your
    requirments
    (MAX/MIN) use a descending or ascending ORDER BY clause.
    eg.
    begin transaction
    for ( aDate : SomeDateDomain ) in
    sql select DATE_FIELD
    from DATE_TABLE
    order by
    DATE_FIELD DESC
    on session MySessionSO
    do
    found = TRUE;
    aLatestDate.SetValue(aDate);
    // Only bother about the first record
    exit;
    end for;
    end transaction;
    On very large tables the performance increases with the above method
    will be
    considerable so it is worth considering which method to use whensizing
    your
    database and writing your code.
    Cheers,
    Dylan.

  • Invoking a PL/SQL function from BPEL throws fault.

  • How to call PL/SQL function from JSP ?

    We have the JSP application developed using the JDeveloper 3.0. I am trying to call the PL/SQL DB function. I'm trying to use the method of ApplicationModule:
    .getTransaction().executeCommand(sCommand)
    The problem is that I can not get the function result back to JSP. The executeCommand() does not seem to accept any host variables.
    What to do ? Did anyone manage to get the feedback from DB ?
    Here is the code in the JSP page:
    <%! String res=" ";%>
    <jsp:useBean id="rsn"
    class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.TRSRowSetNavigator"
    scope="request" >
    <%
    rsn.initialize(application,session, request,response,
    out,"theIMO_trs_bc4J_Bc4JModule.AuctionsListView");
    rsn.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
    // this is the ID to be copied
    String copy_id = request.getParameter(TRS.LOOK_UP_PK_FIELD);
    if( copy_id != null) {
    // call the PL/SQL procedure to create copy of this auction
    String sCommand = "DECLARE a NUMBER; BEGIN :res:=Copy_Auction("
    copy_id"); END;";
    rsn.getRowSet().getApplicationModule().getTransaction().executeCommand(sCommand);
    rsn.getRowSet().getApplicationModule().getTransaction().commit();
    I receive the following error:

    JBO Error:JBO-27121: SQL error during statement execution. Statement: DECLARE a NUMBER; BEGIN :res:=Copy_Auction(45); END;: ORA-01008: not all variables bound
    What criteria has the host variable meet to be used in the executeCommand(sCommand) method ?

    I could be wrong there, but I have experienced similar problem on tru64 unix, with sticky bit not in place for the following files: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle and $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracleO. Once you restore those files via tar command (this is what happened to me), the sticky bit disappears, and you have to re-introduce it by issuing unix command: chmod 1777 on those files.
    What it does for you - it allows you to execute the sql statements as an oracle user & group!
    Otherwise, if this bit is lost, whenever you try to connect to sqlplus via user / password it hits you back with:
    ORA-01034 ORACLE not available
    ORA-27121 unable to determine size of shared memory segment
    Compaq Tru64 UNIX Error: 13:Permission denied
    This should not be a problem if you try and execute the same sql statements using listener (connecting to the server by using @ statement).
    I could be late in response to you, but maybe not for other people.

  • Help w/MaxDB Function; also: how does the "Debug SQL" function work?

    Hi there forum folks,
    In my former life, I was a Basis guy, but I haven't had the pleasure of working directly with SAP applications in a few months.  My current project is to attempt to use MaxDB in a real estate environment.  We're tracking home listings so that we can build statistical reports... such as "what agents are in the Top 100 in postal code X?"
    Anyway, as part of this project, I have attempted to construct my very first MaxDB database function.  Unfortunately, it doesn't give me the answers I'm hoping to see.  Here's the function:
    CREATE FUNCTION COUNT_LISTINGS (AGENTID CHAR(10)) RETURNS FIXED(6,1) AS
      VAR COLISTINGAGENTID CHAR(10);
          LISTINGAGENTID   CHAR(10);
          MLSNUMBER        CHAR(7);
          UNITS            FIXED(6,1);
      SET UNITS = 0;
      DECLARE FUNCTIONRESULT CURSOR FOR
        SELECT MLSNUMBER,
               LISTINGAGENTID,
               COLISTINGAGENTID FROM FREDDIE.GLAR_SOLDS
         WHERE LISTINGAGENTID = :agentid OR COLISTINGAGENTID = :agentid;
      IF $COUNT IS NULL THEN
        BEGIN
          CLOSE FUNCTIONRESULT;
          RETURN UNITS;
        END
      ELSE
        SET $RC = 0;
      WHILE $RC = 0 DO BEGIN
        FETCH FUNCTIONRESULT INTO :mlsnumber, :listingagentid, :colistingagentid;
        IF ( LISTINGAGENTID   = AGENTID AND COLISTINGAGENTID IS NULL ) OR
           ( COLISTINGAGENTID = AGENTID AND LISTINGAGENTID   IS NULL ) THEN
          SET UNITS = UNITS + 1
        ELSE
          SET UNITS = UNITS + 0.5;
      END;
    CLOSE FUNCTIONRESULT;
    RETURN UNITS;
    I've tried to follow the official MaxDB documentation.  My first deviation from that standard was the use of the "$COUNT" variable (instead of the "$RC" variable) immediately after the DECLARE/SELECT statement above.  When I tried to use $RC, for either a successful or unsuccessful query, $RC was always set to a non-zero value.
    I believe I'm past that, but now my issue is down around that FETCH statement.  The UNITS variable doesn't end up with the value I expect.  I know that it can be terribly confusing to try to analyze someone else's logic, but here's a brief narrative that describes what I'm trying to do...
    The GLAR_SOLDS table holds one line for each home sold.  It's keyed by the MLSnumber.  Each record also stores up to four agents who've been involved in the transaction: the listing agent, the co-listing agent, the selling agent, and the co-selling agent.  The database function I've written above pertains to the listing side only.  If I can get this to work, a separate function will process the selling side.  If no co-listing agent is involved in a given sell, that agent should get credit for 1 unit sold.  If he/she has help from a co-listing agent, the agent should only get credit for 1/2 unit sold.
    Also, does anyone know how the "Debug SQL" functionality is supposed to work within Database Studio?  When I right-mouse click on my function, and follow the path thru "Debug As...", after entering the connection & function arguments, I'm presented with an empty screen.  If you could point me to some documentation somewhere, I'd gratefully read it.
    I'm using MaxDB 7.7.06.09 on Windows XP (WIN32) with MaxDB Database Studio 7.7.06.09 (build 009-123-202-944).
    Thanks everyone for your help & advice.

    Fred,
    please either provide the full SQL statements for your example or stick with mine.
    I'm not going to build it up myself a second time to suit yours now.
    >  But now, my issue is how do I store the resultant data in its own table?
    So where is the problem?
    INSERT INTO <target table> (field 1, field 2, ...)  (<your query>)  UDPATE DUPLICATES-
    With my tables this looks like this:
    create table sell_result (list_agent varchar(20) primary key, SUM_CREDIT fixed (10,2))
    insert
    into sell_result (list_agent,sum_credit)
        ( select list_agent, sum (credit) as SUM_CREDIT
          from ( select sh.object_id,lag.name as list_agent, 1 as credit
                 from soldhomes sh join agents lag on lag.id = sh.list_agent_id
                union all
                 select sh.object_id, lag.name as list_coagent, 0.5 as credit
                 from soldhomes sh join agents lag on lag.id = sh.list_coagent_id
          group by list_agent
    update duplicates
    Check what we have now
    sqlcli db770=> select * from sell_result
    | LIST_AGENT           | SUM_CREDIT        |
    | -------------------- | ----------------- |
    | Lars                 |              4.50 |
    | Lisa                 |              3.00 |
    | Mona                 |              2.50 |
    | Paul                 |              2.50 |
    4 rows selected (600 usec)
    Now add some sales data...
    Insert into soldhomes values (11, 1, 2, NULL, NULL)
    Insert into soldhomes values (12, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL)
    Insert into soldhomes values (13, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL)
    Re-run the INSERT command and you're done:
    sqlcli db770=> select * from sell_result
    | LIST_AGENT           | SUM_CREDIT        |
    | -------------------- | ----------------- |
    | Lars                 |              5.50 |
    | Lisa                 |              3.00 |
    | Mona                 |              5.00 |
    | Paul                 |              2.50 |
    4 rows selected (390 usec)
    Neat, isn't it?

  • Errors using weblogic sql driver: "No JDBC connection can be made because the transaction state is marked rollback"

    One of our customers starts to encounter this error message recently.
    We checked our log files. It seems that the error happens when
    to obtain a jdbc connection. Have anyone seen similar problems
    and knows how to fix it? thanks in advance.
    We are using weblogic server 6.1sp2, and weblogic sql type 4 driver.
    The functions that invoke the jdbc calls are stateless session bean
    methods with their transaction attributes marked as Required.
    There is no nested calls of these methods.
    A partial stack trace we obtained is as following:
    java.sql.SQLException: No JDBC connection can be made
    because the transaction state is
    Marked Rollback

    Joe,
    We got the exact same error message. The error came after we got theJDBC connection,
    and trying to create statement off it.
    It occurs intermitently when we are running another standalone JAVAapp to do
    some end of day work, which results in the DB Server being very busy(90+%CPU
    usage) for about 5 minutes. We see a surge of requests to the WLSJDBC Connection
    pool. This would sometimes result in all our subsequent DB requeststo fail and
    lead to a crash.
    We are using WLS6.0SP1. I do not think there's a 30 seconds wait leadingto a
    connection timeout that caused this(rather it is the end effect).
    Can you give us a more detailed explanation? Is there a miscommunicationbetween
    our DB(Sybase12) and WLS?Hi. It looks to you like it's after you get the connection, but really
    it's when the server is
    gettng the pool connection. For performance/synchronization reasons we
    do a clever
    delay: When your code asks for a pool connection we quickly give you
    the pool wrapper,
    but we delay actually reserving the real underlying DBMS connection until
    your first
    real need for a connection, at your first JDBC call, such as createStatement()
    etc.
    It is while waiting for a pool connection long enough for the transaction
    coordinator
    to have timed you out before you ever get a chance. It's nothing to do
    with the
    DBMS or even JDBC, I believe. I think the weblogic server either has
    too few execute-threads
    and/or too few CPU cycles to do the work load.
    Okay, so there's a lazy initialization of the connection.
    From reading our log I believe our failur is immediate rather
    than waiting for 30+ seconds(the default setting) from the DB,
    the timeout occurred later as a result. At the time either because the DB Server
    is very busy.
    Since we are running WLS6.0 we have only one connection pool,
    we have defined a max of 150 threads in the pool. While this
    is happening the DB Server is being pinned by an overnight job,
    but the WLS Server is not busy at all. The DB and WLS resides
    on different physical boxes.
    We also have a thread dump from the WLS console when we rebooted the server, it
    showed that we are hanging on to the thread & jdbc
    connections after these exceptions has occurred instead of releasing them, note
    "16083"(~4.5 hours) seconds has passed:
    142 116222 Retry rollback request for tx: 'transaction=(IdHash=2963855,Name =
    [EJB UserManagerBeanImpl.signalICUserServletHeartBeat()],Xid=30643:8f3838f3709bf53d,Status=Rolling
    Back. [Reason = Unknown],numRepliesOwedMe=0,numRepliesOwedOthers=0,seconds since
    begin=16083,seconds left=10,ServerResourceInfo[weblogic.jdbc.jts.Connection]=(state=started,assigned=server),SCInfo[server]=(state=active),properties=({weblogic.jdbc=t3://159.55.158.25:8005,
    weblogic.transaction.name=[EJB UserManagerBeanImpl.signalICUserServletHeartBeat()]}))'
    Scheduled Trigger
    So I would argue this problem actually chewed up resources on the WLS server.

    happening is that the transaction is started, and times out beforethe

  • SQL report region source to call a pl/sql function using DB link

    Hi - I have a pl/sql function fn_dbtype(id NUMBER) defined in database X. The pl/sql function executes couple DML statements and returns a string (a SELECT query). I am able to call this function using SQL Plus (Connected to Database X) as below and it works fine:
    declare
    vSQL VARCHAR2(100);
    begin
    vSQL := fn_dbtype(1);
    end;
    The DML operations completed fine and vSQL contains the "Select" query now.
    In APEX:
    I am trying to create a SQL report in APEX using SQL query(PL/SQL function returning a sql statement) option. I am trying to figure out what to put in the region source so that the output of the "Select" query is displayed in the report.
    Moreover APEX is hosted in a different database instance. So I would need to call this pl/sql function using a DB Link.
    Please let me know what I need to put in the region source to execute the pl/sql function which returns the "Select" query thereby displaying the query output in the report. Thanks.

    Hi,

    What you are seeing is pretty common. When I work with dynamic SQL I usually include some logic to put the dyanmic SQL into a string and a means to see what was generated, something like (untested here)
      v_sql_c := 'select * from dual';
      open refcur for v_sql_c;
    exception
      when others then
         insert into work_table (clob_column) values (v_sql_c);so I can later query the table to get to the generated SQL for debugging, something like
      select * from work_table;I also try to write dynamic SQL so I can paste it from the work table right into query execution without editing.

  • Multiple Select List looping thru PL/SQL function body returning SQL query

    Thank you,
    Laura

    Laura,
    First, I would be careful of introducing SQL Injection possibilities. Any time I see
    'Select ... ' || :P123_FOO || ' ... '
    I worry about sql injection. In your case you are converting :P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS into selected_items and then selected_items into s. So when I see
    'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) LIKE ''' || s ||'%'' '||
    I think, "I could use sql Injection and hack this."
    So, I would do some validation on :P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS or some other method to avoid this.
    I'm not certain I understand your query. Do you really intend to allow the user to select the beginning of a string and then find all rows that start with that string? Or, do you just want to let them find when it matches the string. This is one way if you want to do matching:
    DECLARE
    selected_items HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
    s VARCHAR2(32767);
    q varchar2(32767);
    BEGIN
    -- Change the : separate string to be comma separated with quoted strings
    s := '''' || replace(:P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS, ',', ''',''')|| '''' ;
    -- htp.p('COUNT: '||selected_items.count);
    q:= 'SELECT '||
    'SUBSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,1,INSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,''-'')-1) AS INSTRUMENT, '||
    'SUBSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,INSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,''-'')+1, LENGTH'||
    ' (orig_geo_loc_sys)) AS ORIG_LINENUM, '||
    'sum(orig_intrl) orig_intrl, '||
    'sum(orig_extrl) orig_extrl, '||
    'sum(recv_intrl) recv_intrl, '||
    'sum(recv_extrl) recv_extrl '||
    'FROM line_usage_sum_view '||
    'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) in (' || s ||' ) '||
    --'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) LIKE ''2213003%'' '||
    'AND switch_id = ''' || :P1_SWITCH_ID || ''' ' ||
    'AND call_start_date > TO_DATE(''30-NOV-1999'') ' ||
    'AND call_clear_time > TO_DATE(''30-NOV-1999'') '||
    'AND '||
    :SORTFIELD||' BETWEEN '||
    'TO_DATE(:STARTDATE,''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') AND '||
    'TO_DATE(:STOPDATE, ''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') '||
    'GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (orig_geo_loc_sys)';
    -- htp.p('SQL query: '||q);
    RETURN q;
    END;
    If you want to do something more like you originally stated, try this:
    DECLARE
    selected_items HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
    s VARCHAR2(20);
    q varchar2(32767);
    BEGIN
    selected_items := HTMLDB_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P50_SELECTED_INSTRUMENTS);
    -- htp.p('COUNT: '||selected_items.count);
    q:= 'SELECT '||
    'SUBSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,1,INSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,''-'')-1) AS INSTRUMENT, '||
    'SUBSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,INSTR(orig_geo_loc_sys,''-'')+1, LENGTH'||
    ' (orig_geo_loc_sys)) AS ORIG_LINENUM, '||
    'sum(orig_intrl) orig_intrl, '||
    'sum(orig_extrl) orig_extrl, '||
    'sum(recv_intrl) recv_intrl, '||
    'sum(recv_extrl) recv_extrl '||
    'FROM line_usage_sum_view '||
    'WHERE 1=1 ';
    FOR i in 1..selected_items.count LOOP
    s := TO_CHAR(selected_items(i));
    q := q || ' and TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) LIKE '''|| s ||'%'' ' ;
    END LOOP;
    q := q || ||'%'' '||
    --'WHERE TO_CHAR(orig_geo_loc_sys) LIKE ''2213003%'' '||
    'AND switch_id = ''' || :P1_SWITCH_ID || ''' ' ||
    'AND call_start_date > TO_DATE(''30-NOV-1999'') ' ||
    'AND call_clear_time > TO_DATE(''30-NOV-1999'') '||
    'AND '||
    :SORTFIELD||' BETWEEN '||
    'TO_DATE(:STARTDATE,''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') AND '||
    'TO_DATE(:STOPDATE, ''dd-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'') '||
    'GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (orig_geo_loc_sys)';
    -- htp.p('SQL query: '||q);
    RETURN q;
    END;
    Hope this helps...

  • Is it possible to retrieve RAD's extended variables with a pl/sql function?

    Good morning everyone,
    We have our forms and reports(10g) application, SSO enabled and we are using OID on 10g app server. some of our users use smart card to log in to the system and some who do not have smart cards provide their database userid, password and SID.
    In the case of users who login with smart card, as a one time effort, they have to register their smart card. At that point OID presents a form prompting for their username, password, sid and then a RAD record is created for that particular user.
    And from then on when the user enters the system using his smart card(12345@mil), forms servlet, does the look up of dbusername,dbpswd,sid which belong to the 12345@mil and user's database credentials are passed to the application. The entire application logic is based on that userid which is also an internal userid in the application. Everything is working fine.
    I have read the documentation and found that 12345@mil is stored in the "cn" parameter and the orclownerguid and orclusernameattribute are stored under "cn"=extended properties in the oid. I am able to see this from the oid console.
    But now I need some help. If I only know the id of the user as "12345@mil" , is it possible to manually query the RAD and retrieve the orclusername from a pl/sql function?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Suma.

    Please can anyone help me????
