How to read stored procedure/function in SQL*PLUS?

I created procedure and stored in Oracle. Now, I want to read it or may be modify it.
I know "Oracle Enterprise Manager" can make it, but if I don't have it, how can I achieve it?
I don't want to use "CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ..." because I need to read it first. How can I do?
Thanks!!!
Anne

Set long 50000 ;
Spool procname.txt
and then write the SQL query which was given
in earlier reply.If You u have problem let us know.

How to execute stored procedure in the SQL Commands page

i'm oracle express edition newbie :) i have this stored procedure. it not belong to a package.
create or replace procedure "LIST_MEMBERS"
("MEMBER_CUR" OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
is
begin
OPEN MEMBER_CUR FOR
SELECT * FROM members;
end;
now, in the SQL Commands page, how to run the stored procedure and return the records. i do this:
begin
execute list_members();
end;
but i'm getting some errors. just need some immediate help :) thanks!!!

Example of using a ref cursor:
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf

Java Stored Procedure functions in SQL DML - multiple invocations

When running a java stored procedure as part of a DML statement the procedure is invoked 10-15 times for each row that is updated.
For example:
Update mytable set mycolumn = myjsp(somecolumn);
I undertand that this was a known bug with the JDBC driver. Has it been fixed? Is there a workaround?
We are using 8.1.6 on NT 4
Thanks
Julian

Hello ,
I tried here, and it seems to call the function once for each row
eg :
package package90;
public class Class1 extends Object {
public int get_data(int i)
return i+10;
Published the get_data function as
myproject67.get_data
SQL> connect scott/tiger@orcl8i
Connected.
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> exec dbms_java.set_output(5000);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select * from test_java;

SQL> insert into test_java values (20);
1 row created.
SQL> select * from test_java;

Parameter index move while executing PL/SQL stored procedure/function

Hello, community.
Have a question for you. It looked like very easy to write some small JDBC-wrapper to handle stored procedure/functions call for Oracle.
Here is the code snippet of it:

}It was really done in 10-15 mins, so don't be very angry at code quality :)
Here is the problem.:
               helper.registerProcedure("pkg_diagnosis.search_diagnosis");
               helper.registerArgument(1, null, OracleTypes.CURSOR, EhlJdbcCallableStatementHelper.PARAMETER__OUT);
               helper.registerArgument(2, pattern, OracleTypes.VARCHAR, EhlJdbcCallableStatementHelper.PARAMETER__IN);
               helper.registerArgument(3, lang, OracleTypes.VARCHAR, EhlJdbcCallableStatementHelper.PARAMETER__IN);
               helper.registerArgument(4, EhlSqlUtil.convertSetToString(langs, ","), OracleTypes.VARCHAR, EhlJdbcCallableStatementHelper.PARAMETER__IN);
               helper.registerArgument(5, EhlSqlUtil.convertSetToString(diagnosisClass, ","), OracleTypes.VARCHAR, EhlJdbcCallableStatementHelper.PARAMETER__IN);
               helper.registerArgument(6, parentId, OracleTypes.NUMBER, EhlJdbcCallableStatementHelper.PARAMETER__IN);
               helper.execute();
               ResultSet rs = ((OracleCallableStatement) helper.getStatement()).getCursor(1);
               procedure definition:
procedure search_diagnosis (l_res OUT dyna_cur,
                           in_search_string IN VARCHAR2,
                           in_search_lang IN VARCHAR2,
                           in_lang_list IN VARCHAR2,
                           in_diag_class_list IN VARCHAR2,
                           in_parent_id IN NUMBER) Procedure call has inner check that fail because of som strange reason:
in_search_string has 2 as index, that is correct. but procedure recieves is as number 3 in parameter list (what is in_search_lang). Other parameters are moved to. It seems like a cursor takes 2 places in definition. It's clear that if I put in_search_string as 1 parameter and cursor as 0 I'll get invalid parametr bindong(s) exception. So... any ideas why 2nd parameter is actually 3rd?
Thanks beforehand.

hmm...moreover:
if we change procedure to function and call it in a simple way:
CallableStatement stmnt = helper.getConnection().prepareCall("begin ? := pkg_diagnosis.search_diagnosis(?,?,?,?,?); end;");
               stmnt.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
               stmnt.setString(2, pattern);
               stmnt.setString(3, lang);
               stmnt.setString(4, langs);
               stmnt.setString(5, diagnosisClass);
               stmnt.setObject(6, parentId, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
               stmnt.execute();
               ResultSet rs = (ResultSet) stmnt.getObject(1);the exception is:
[BEA][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-06550: line 1, column 14:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignoredif we return some string or number - it works. but when we want cursor back - it fails.
cursor is defined like ordinary dynamic cursor:
TYPE dyna_cur IS REF CURSOR;

How to query DDL locks on stored procedures/functions and packages?

Hi!
The subject says it all: How do I see existing DDL locks on stored procedures/functions and packages?
While a procedure is executed it can't be deleted or replaced, so there has to be a DDL lock on it. The information does not seem to be in V$LOCK or V$LOCKED_OBJECTS.
Thanks!
Marcus

Hello,
Here you can find an article about the view DBA_DDL_LOCKS:
[http://www.praetoriate.com/int_40.htm]
If you don't have this view on the Data Dictionary, you may have
to execute the "OH/rdbms/admin/catblock.sql" script first.
Hope it can help.

How to invoke a stored procedure on MS Sql Server with Java?

I started writing Enterprise Java Beans and created an ODBC dsn with MS Sql Server 2000 which I can access using jdbc:odbc:mySqlDSN. This all works fine using Java Sql Statements. What kind of Java/Java Sql statement can I use to invoke a stored procedure on the Sql Server? Is it possible to use ADO/ADO command objects with Java? Is it possible to import/implement Mdac2.6 ActiveX data objects libary in Java?
Thanks

Thanks all for your replies. I will search the api for callable statements. I am curious though, the reply that suggests using a prepared statement - can I put the name of a stored procedure in a prepared statment or is this just suggestions an action query like Insert Into, Update, Delete? Like with ADO you can say
cmdObject.CommandType = adStoredProcedure
cmdObject.CommandText = "NameOfStoredProc"
cmdObject.ExecuteNonQuery()
Once I am calling/importing/implementing the proper libraries/interfaces in Java, can a prepared statement reference a stored procedure as above?
Thanks

Passing blank parameter to stored procedures/function

Hi all,
When I pass blank value ('') to a VARCHAR2 parameter in a stored procedures/function it reads the parameter as NULL, I try to use DEFAULT keyword in the parameter declaration, but it does not work. How can I make the sp/func read the paramater as '' ?
Thanks in advance
Setya

This is a fundamental quirk of Oracle - it treats '' (empty string) as if it were null:
SQL> SELECT case when '' is null then 'EMPTY STRING IS NULL' else 'EMPTY STRING IS NOT NULL' end
2 FROM dual;
CASEWHEN''ISNULLTHEN'EMP
EMPTY STRING IS NULL
SQL> So what is it you want to do that you can do with an empty string but not with a null?

(I actually raised a service request on this and then told my rep what I thought about the answer I received--some thing along the line of money grubbing so and so....)
How I can send a message from oracle to Java Desktop Application which is working like server program?You can make a table and poll it from time to time from the Java side and write and commit what ever you want to the table. I do not know any way to send a signal from Oracle DB an external Java application--Java or PL/SQL stored procedure.

Stored Procedure/Function Returns Rows?

Hello,
I have very little experience writing PL/SQL procedures, but I have written my fair share of Sybase stored procedures. In Sybase, I can create a stored procedure that returns rows of data. For example:
create procedure myproc as
begin
select * from mytable;
end;
Then if I invoke the procedure (whether that is from an interactive SQL session or from a ColdFusion or JSP page), several rows of data are returned to me.
The benefit of this is that the web developers don't need to write complicated SQL.
Is this even possible in Oracle? I have never seen anyone actually do this. Or do my web coders need to learn how to write PL/SQL and embed it into their code?
HELP!
Thanks!

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply. That's kind of what I was suspecting, except that I was hoping to be able to execute the function/procedure from within a SQL session also, for testing. Is there a way to invoke such a procedure from a SQL*Plus session and have it return the rowset (ref cursor) just as if I had typed in the SQL select statement?
For example, I just want to type at a SQL*Plus prompt something like this:
mypackage.myfunction(param1, param2);
and then have it return the results to me. Is that possible?
Thanks again for your help.

How to call stored procedure from Pro*C

How to call stored procedure from Pro*C ?
my system spec is SuSE Linux 9.1, gcc version : 3.3.3, oracle : 10g
my Pro*C code is the following..
EXEC SQL EXECUTE
begin
test_procedure();
end;
END-EXEC;
the test_procedure() has a simple update statement. and it works well in SQL Plus consol. but in Pro*C, there is a precompile error.
will anybody help me what is the problem ??

I'm in the process of moving C files (with embedded SQL, .PC files) from Unix to Linux. One program I was trying to compile had this piece of code that called an Oracle function (a standalone), which compiled on Unix, but gives errors on Linux:
EXEC SQL EXECUTE
BEGIN
:r_stat := TESTSPEC.WEATHER_CHECK();
END;
END-EXEC;
A call similar to this is in another .PC file which compiled on Linux with no problem. Here is what the ".lis" file had:

How to retrieve Stored Procedure Output Parameter?

Hi,
I'm using a stored procedure with MS SQL Server. The stored procedure creates the required table entries correctly. After executing the procedure i free the resulting recordset reference and am able to retrieve the return value of the stored procedure. However,
I am not able to retrieve the output parameters of the procedure. I am connected to the database using the MS OLE DB Provider for SQL Server. I tried using ODBC as well. Didn't work either. I know this issue has been addressed before, did anyone come up with a solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Marco

I can tell you what I do with LabSQL and a single output parameter. After I open the connection to the database, I execute a SQL statement that looks like this:
declare @resultID int
execute spInsUUTResult @SerialNumber = '999DEBUGXXX',
@SequenceName = 'Sequence File2.seq',
@CategoryID = 2,
@TypeID = 1,
@StartDateTime = '10-10-2003 13:42:45',
@ExecutionTime = 3.5698713,
@UUTStatus = 'Passed',
@UserName = 'Dennis Knutson',
@StationName = 'DENNIS-KNUTSON',
@UUTResultID = @resultID OUTPUT
This query result is the output parameter. I first debugged the call to the stored procedure in the SQL Server Query Analyzer and then just copied that straight into my LabVIEW code. You may be using something other than LabSQL but you should have a function t
hat allows for raw SQL commands.
