How to fetch oracle process id from a stored procedure.

Hi,
I want to fetch the oracle process id from within a stored procedure.
I know that the one way to do this is using the v$process view. But, a grant has to be given to the user on this table. Due to the strict policies at my workplace, I do not have the permission to do this, nor can i ask anyone to give the grant. But, i need the oracle pid very much.
Is there an alternate way to get the oracle process id from within the stored procedure (without using the v$process view, like we have sys_context() to fetch session id without using v$session) ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
AP

Hi,
The point is i do not want to use v$process ( or v_$process) ,because i can not give the select grant to the user on this view. ( As i need to fetch it from a stored procedure, not from the SQL prompt).
Rahul , your query is correct. It fetches the values ( though i needed oracle process id not unix pid ; i would get it through p.pid), but i need an alternate approach to this.
Is there an alternate approach which would enable me to fetch the oracle process id ( without using any of the V$ - system views) ? Does Oracle has such a feature /approach ?

How do I return two values from a stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" within SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
How do I return two values from a
stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" please? Each of these two values need to be populated into an SSIS variable for later processing, e.g. StartDate and EndDate.
Thinking about stored procedure output parameters for example. Is there anything special I need to bear in mind to ensure that the SSIS variables are populated with the updated stored procedure output parameter values?
Something like ?
CREATE PROCEDURE [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate]
@intPeriod INT,
@strPeriod_Length NVARCHAR(1),
@dtStart NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT,
@dtEnd NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT
AS
then within the SSIS component; -
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Below execute statement should work along the parameter mapping which you have provided. Also try specifying the parameter size property as default.
Exec [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate] ?,?,? output, ? output
Add a script task to check ssis variables values using,
Msgbox(Dts.Variables("User::strExtractStartDate").Value)
Do not forget to add the property "readOnlyVariables" as strExtractStartDate variable to check for only one variable.

How do I get return parameters from a stored procedure call?

The Open SQL Statement has an option on the Advanced tab to specify a command type of 'stored procedure'. In addition to returning a recordset, a stored procedure can also return parameters (see http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q185/1/25.ASP for info on doing this with ADO). Is it possible to get those return parameters with TestStand? In particular, I want to be able to get error codes back from the stored procedure in case it fails (maybe there is another way).

The Open SQL Statement step type does not fully support stored procedures. If the procedure returns a record set than you can fetch the values as you would a SELECT statement. Stored procedures require you to setup the parameters before the call and this is not yet supported. Bob, in his answer, made a reference to the Statements tab and I think that he was talking about the Database Logging feature in TS 2.0.
If the stored procedure is returning a return value, it may return as a single column, single row recordset which can be fetched as you normally do a record set.

How to fetch %ROWTYPE OUT param of a stored procedure from Java program?

I have a stored procedure that has IN / OUT parameter as table_name%ROWTYPE.
From a java program how can I access this ROWTYPE variable?
I tried all possible documentation and none of the explains whether or not this is supported.
My use case expect exactly 1 record from the procedure and we would prefer not to use REF CURSOR.
Is there a way to achieve this? If so, can someone help me with it by posting the sample code to achieve this?
I tried all the possible OracleTypes to register the OutParameter and they all fail.
Looks like there isn't any equivalent of %ROWTYPE in OracleTypes either.
If you need, I can post my sample procedure that uses %ROWTYPE as OUT parameter.
I really appreciate your help in this regard.

Hi,
If "returning only 1 record" the showstopper for not using Ref Cursor, you might want to reconsider because as you probably know, the ref cursor is only a pointer and requires additional step to retrieve the data.

How to fetch data to APEX Report using stored procedure?

hi all,
i am making a report in APEX. user selects two dates and clicks GO button - i have a Stored Procedure linked to that result region so Stored Procedure gets called.
my stored procedure does the following -
using specified dates (IN) i do query and put data into a table (this table has been created only for this report) -
i want to show all these data i entered into the table on my APEX report in the same procedure call. can i use ref cursor to return? how to do that?
currently, i use another button in APEX which basically fetches all data from table. basically, user clicks one button to generate report and then another button to get report. which is not desirable at all :(
i m using APEX 3.1.2.00.02 and Oracle 10 database.
pls let me know if you need further clarification of the problem. thanks in advance.

How to output various file types from a stored procedure

Good morning, I would like to output to spreadsheet files like microsoft Excel, Lotus 123 or to a comma delimited text file from stored procedures. We run Oracle 8i and this report is accessed from an intranet site using stored procedures and the pl/sql web toolkit. The results would be more usefull in a spreadsheet format than web page(s). Can anyone give me a hint as to which process to follow to get the output. Thanks very much, Francois

Probably best to try the PL/SQL SQL forum:
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?id=478021
Some quick and easy pointers:
* Take a look at the COM feature available from PL/SQL in 8i:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/win.920/a95499/toc.htm
* Just write the file out as comma delimited using UTL_FILE and give it a file name of .csv. Quick scan on google gives this example:

How to view the returned data from a stored procedure in TOAD?

Hi,
I created ref cursor in the stored procedure to return data. The stored procedure works fine, just want to view the result in TOAD. The BEGIN... EXEC... END can execute the stored procedure, but how to make the result display?
Thanks!

Right click the editor and choose
"Prompt For Substitution Variables".
Run for example the following code:
DECLARE
PROCEDURE p (cur OUT sys_refcursor)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN cur FOR
SELECT *
FROM DUAL;
END p;
BEGIN
p (:cur);
END;
The result will display in Toad's Data Grid!

How to generate XML Publisher report from PLSQL Stored Procedure in APPS

Hi,
I have concurrent program of type PLSQL Stored procedure.I need to generate XML Publisher report from the same.I have changed the output of the concurrent program as "XML" but when I tried running it,the XML tags are not generated.Due to this I am unable to create the template.Its a urgent issue.
Please help me out .
Thanks in advance.
Kaveri

Hi Kaveri
Sadly there is nothing magic about that output field. The only program type that you can flip it to XML and then magically get XML is for Oracle Reports. For plsql you will need to recode the plsql to generate XML rather than text that you have now.
You have some options, best option first:
1. Move the sql to a data template - check the user guide and blog for help or
2. Use SQL XML or XMLGEN (not great for large datasets) or
3. Use dbms_output.put_line and write the XML file manually - not performant at all

How do i handle out parameter from a stored procedure in a vb form?

hi all,
I want to return a varchar2(500) type of out parameter from a pl/sql stored procedure to a vb form?? how do i do this??
regards
akshay

Well, when you create the parameter collection for your command object, just set the correct value for the direction component.
You would set it to one of the below, depending on if the parameter is IN OUT or only OUT:
<parameter_obj>.Direction = ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamInputOutput
<parameter_obj>.Direction = ParameterDirectionEnum.adParamOutput

How do I retrieve a variable from a stored procedure in Access?

Given a stored procedure like the one below,
PROCEDURE getSomething(
               pVar1           in float,
               pVar2               in float,
               pVar3               in float,
               pVar4               in float,
               pResults          out varchar2
How would I retrieve the value in pResults using VBA on Access? Thanks.

Using this, you can set the value to the session bean
<c:set property="docID" target="${SessionBean1}" value="${pg_view_doc.hiddenField3.value}"/>
But before that you have to create a property called docid in the sessionbean1.
So once the property is set, through getDocID() method u can retrieve the value
ex: String value=getSessionBean1().getDocID();
will return the value in the required JSF Page bean

I have created a new process chain in the development and it is falling under the Unassigned nodes. I want to move that process chain to an another node. but i am unable to do that
Can anyone let me know how to move the process chain from unassigned node. I have drag and dropped but still the same in BW 3.5 ?
Thanks

Hello,
Try this....
Double click on your process chain. Via the menu select:
Process chain > Attributes > Display components
Select F4 (possible entries)
At the bottom of the window you will find a create icon
to make your own component.
After you created it, assign it to your process chain.
Don't forget to save the process chain.

How to get an updatable ADODB Recordset from a Stored Procedure?

In VB6 I have this code to get a disconnected ADODB Recordset from a Oracle 9i database (the Oracle Client is 10g):
Dim conSQL As ADODB.Connection
Dim comSQL As ADODB.Command
Dim recSQL As ADODB.Recordset
Set conSQL = New ADODB.Connection
With conSQL
.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Password=<pwd>;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=<uid>;Data Source=<dsn>"
.CursorLocation = adUseClientBatch
.Open
End With
Set comSQL = New ADODB.Command
With comSQL
.ActiveConnection = conSQL
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.CommandText = "P_PARAM.GETALLPARAM"
.Properties("PLSQLRSet").Value = True
End With
Set recSQL = New ADODB.Recordset
With recSQL
Set .Source = comSQL
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.CursorType = adOpenStatic
.LockType = adLockBatchOptimistic
.Open
.ActiveConnection = Nothing
End With
The PL/SQL Procedure is returning a REF CURSOR like this:
PROCEDURE GetAllParam(op_PARAMRecCur IN OUT P_PARAM.PARAMRecCur)
IS
BEGIN
OPEN op_PARAMRecCur FOR
SELECT *
FROM PARAM
ORDER BY ANNPARAM DESC;
END GetAllParam;
When I try to update some values in the ADODB Recordset (still disconnected), I get the following error:
Err.Description: Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value.
Err.Number: -2147217887 (80040E21)
Err.Source: Microsoft Cursor Engine
The following properties on the Command object doesn't change anything:
.Properties("IRowsetChange") = True
.Properties("Updatability") = 7
How can I get an updatable ADODB Recordset from a Stored Procedure?

4 years later...
I was having then same problem.
Finally, I've found how to "touch" the requierd bits.
Obviously, it's hardcore, but since some stupid at microsoft cannot understand the use of a disconnected recordset in the real world, there is no other choice.
