How to execute the ' alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYYMMDD' in the procedure??

hi,
i programme a procedure which include some requirements that
should execute the command like ' alter session set
NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYYMMDD' '.
but the sqlplus error is
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "ALTER" when expecting one of
the following:
begin declare end exit for goto if loop mod null pragma
raise
return select update while <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind
variable> <<
close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback
savepoint set sql execute commit forall
<a single-quoted SQL string>
The symbol "update was inserted before "ALTER" to
continue.
help me please.

you can set that parameter in 2 ways from stored procedures.
1) execute immediate 'alter session...'
remember, Oracle gives commit while executing above command.
2) use dbms_session.set_nls procedure.
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format','mm/dd/yyyy');

Alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT and to_date not working

Hey folks,
for the sake of simplicity let's assume i want to get the current system time from the table dual in a certain format, e.g. 'YY.MM.DD'.
Currently the query
select sysdate from dual;
yields:
07-JAN-08
The desired output should look like this:
08.01.07
So, according to the manual, i tried the following:
alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'yy.mm.dd';
No effect, date is still displayed as
07-JAN-08
Even the following query:
select TO_DATE (sysdate, 'yy.mm.dd') from dual;
yields
07-JAN-08
What am i doing wrong here?
Additional information:
-> DB is Oracle 9
-> I am using the Oracle SQL Developer under Ubuntu Gutsy
-> No, i did not forget to commit my commands....:-)
Any ideas?

select TO_CHAR (sysdate, 'yy.mm.dd') from dual;However the alter session command should work:

Execute immediate 'alter session set current_schema = ' failed in PL/SQL

Hi
I am trying to run
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = TEST ' ;
in a pl/sql block but it is failing.Can anyone update me on this.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test3
IS
A_COUNT NUMBER(15);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = TEST ' ;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO A_COUNT FROM (
select id from solutions );
END;
/

The user who owns the procedure needs to be granted direct select rights on table test.solutions (not via a role). Still will not help. Look what OP is trying to do. In a stored procedure owned by some user (other than TEST) OP is trying to reference user TEST owned table solution without prefixing it with owner. Something like:
SQL> create table u1.test_tbl(x number);
Table created.
SQL> select * from test_tbl;
select * from test_tbl
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> alter session set current_schema = U1;
Session altered.
SQL> select * from test_tbl;
no rows selected
SQL> However, OP tries to do it in a SP using dynamic SQL to change current schema to test. Such change will occur when SP will be executed, not when is it compiled. At compile time we are still under SP owner's schema and therefore select from solutions implies table solutions owned by SP owner, not by TEST. The only way to make SP compile and work OK is to select from solutions also dynamically:
SQL> select sys_context('userenv','current_schema') from dual
2 /
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CURRENT_SCHEMA')
SCOTT
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test3
2 IS
3 A_COUNT NUMBER(15);
4 BEGIN
5 EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = U1' ;
6 SELECT COUNT(*) INTO A_COUNT FROM (
7 select x from test_tbl );
8 END;

How to execute the procedure in sap b1

Hai to all,
I done a procedure in sql server .but i don't know how to execute that procedure in sap b1?
can anyone help me immediately.
Regards,
Ramya.S

Dear Ramya.S,
You could execute the store procedure by using Recordset object in SDK DI code. It is like:
Dim myRecordSet As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset
myRecordSet =
SBO_Company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecord
set)
myRecordSet.Command.Name = "TestStoredProcedure"
myRecordSet.Command.Parameters.Item("@ItemLike").Value = "IT%"
myRecordSet.Command.Parameters.Item(2).Value = "C0001"
myRecordSet.Command.Execute()

Intead of SYS_REFCURSOR, you can use ur pkg_sam.REF_CURSOR_TYPE inside a package
AND
execute a procedure like EXEC pkg_sam.prc_sam(:P_CURSOR);
like this, then you will get the result............................

Can you tell me how to execute the procedure?

create or replace get_dob
(ss_number varchar2,dob out date)
as
begin
select birth_dae
into dob
from person
where soc_sec_num=ss_num;
exception when no_data_found
error_notify(ss_num);
end;
the question is that when i want to execute this procedure,how can I use the command?
I try to use the "execute get_dob('wang');"in the sql/plus,but the system give me wrong information.

Errors:
1. You left out the word PROCEDURE after CREATE OR REPLACE.
2. You used ss_number in one place and ss_num in two others. These must be the same name.
3. You left out the word THEN after WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND.
Possible errors:
1. Is birth_dae spelled correctly? Or, should it be birth_date?
2. Is error_notify a user-defined procedure?
Additional suggestions:
1. It is better to use table_name.column_name%TYPE instead of specifying NUMBER, VARCHAR2, DATE, etc. for your parameters. That way if the column data types are changed in the future, you don't have to change your code.
2. You will need to SET SERVEROUTPUT ON and use DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to display the contents of the variable that holds the value of the out parameter.
3. Please see suggested code for creation of procedure and execution of procedure below. I have included one row of test data so that some output will be displayed. I commented out the exception section, in order to test it, since I don't have your error_notify procedure.
SQL> -- test data:

Execute sql command "ALTER SESSION SET..."

How can i execute command "ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT ='MM/DD/YYYY'" with JDBC
api.
And by default?
Bye
Ste

I'm not sure that you want to do this in Java. I would imagine that the NLS_DATE_FORMAT would be set by the Oracle DBA, and shouldn't be changed by a Java app via JDBC.
Besides, when you query the database for a date it's returned as a java.sql.Date, regardless of the settings in the database. Once you have that, you can format it according to your wishes by using java.text.DateFormat and java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
I thought the point was that the JDBC driver took care of ensuring that you got java.sql.Date objects back from queries, regardless of the NSL_DATE_FORMAT setting in the database.

"alter session set sql_trace true" in my pakage is not working

Hi
I have a package with some procedures..in one of my procedure which is executed in the first step i run the :

Is it risky to use statement : "alter session set events"

Hi guys,
I am extracting data from cxml documents.
I had to run the following code "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('alter session set events ''31156 trace name context forever, level 2'''); " to disable the DTD validation...b4 running any xml extract function on it.
Example:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f_test (
p_cxml IN CLOB
RETURN BOOLEAN
AS
l_payload varchar2(100);
l_cXML sys.xmltype := sys.xmltype.createXML(p_cxml);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('alter session set events ''31156 trace name context forever, level 2''');
SELECT EXTRACTVALUE(l_cXML,'/cXML/@payloadID')
INTO l_payload
FROM DUAL;
RETURN TRUE;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (l_payload);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (SQLCODE || ' - '||SQLERRM);
RETURN FALSE;
END;
The vlaue of the parameter p_cxml could be
p_cXML clob:=
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

MY QUESTION IS...
Is there any risk Involved to Using the
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('alter session set events ''31156 trace name context forever, level 2'''); statment.
Any Help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Most "set events" are workarounds or needed for Oracle support to do some debugging. Using them is at your own risk, and probably not supported by Oracle if you get into trouble.

Import err: ORA-20001,ORA-02047,alter session set nls_numeric_characters...

Hi APEX development team,
I get mad about an APEX import error which occurs maybe one time every second month.
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful.
ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress <pre>

Write now I have two options to solve the error:
1. Restart Oracle Application Server
2. Wait a couple of days with the import (restart of my client computer) and it works for a while again

Hope there is a chance to get some help about this annoying error.

Hi Joel, Scott and the rest of the community.
I went on determine the import problem. It occurred two more times since the last post.
First time:
This time was a bit different. I wanted to create a new workspace and got the error "ORA-02047: cannot join the distributed transaction in progress" when I clicked on the button to create a new workspace after I entered all information to it.
I restarted the OAS and worked again
Second time:
During an application import the error occurred again and I tried the following things:
As data owner (only one db link exist)
ALTER SESSION CLOSE DATABASE LINK DBMS_CLRDBLINK;Result no open database links to close
As sys (all database links)
-- The following script queries the DBA_DB_LINKS view to access link information:
SELECT * FROM DBA_DB_LINKS;
-- close of all database links
ALTER SESSION CLOSE DATABASE LINK username.db_link_name;
...Result no database links open. Try of import ended with same error.
Check of apex_public_user no (open) db_links. No objects locked.
I had to restart the OAS again.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Tobias

While Compile the Package it shows "alter session set plsql_trace=false"

Hi,
My package was working fine and suddenly the status is invalid
so i tried compiling the package that time sql developer got hanged, package also not getting compiled.
i asked DBA to find out the status, they said the following query is running from your machine.
"Alter session set plsql_trace=false". once they kill the session, sql developer got released.
What could be the reason for this?? please help me to resolve this.......
Thanks,

Hi:
It seems when you are starting RMAN it's executing some commands (one 'ALTER SESSION...'. It's seems to be a batch which has a bad value for SORT_AREA_SIZE. Find it and modify to a proper value as message shows. If you can't find start RMAN by calling directly the executable ($ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman or %ORACLE_HOME%/bin/rman.exe).

Ability to perform ALTER SESSION SET SQL TRACE but not all alter clauses

I see that in order to run the ALTER SESSION SET SQL TRACE command, the user should be explicitly granted alter session privilege as the CREATE SESSION privilege alone is not enough. Is there a way to grant the ability to perform ALTER SESSION SET SQL TRACE but not the other clauses such as GUARD, PARALLEL & RESUMABLE?.
Thanks
Sathya

If you are using Oracle 10g and above, you can use DBMS_SESSION.session_trace_enable procedure,
it doesn't require alter session system privilege.
Simple example:
SQL> connect test/test@//192.168.1.2:1521/xe
Connected.
SQL> alter session set tracefile_identifier='my_id';
Session altered.
SQL> alter session set sql_trace = true
