How to run a SQL server store procedure from Apex (oracle)?

Our application needs to call a store procedure in the SQLserver database. The sotre procedure works fine in the SQL server side. However, when I tried to call the store procedure in TOAD as:
exec my_store_procedure(para1, para2);
I kept getting the error message:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'my_store_procedure'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I have searched online but couldn't find the solution. This is an emergency, so prompt reply is Highly Appreciated!

How is Oracle connecting to the SQL Server?
With the Transparent Gateway or Generic Connectivity?
I don't think that Generic Connectivity supports stored procedures.
The documentation for Heterogeneous Connectivity is here:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/toc.htm
You'd probably get better answers from the Heterogeneous Connectivity forum:

How to call a sql server stored procedure from oracle

Hi all,
Please anybody tell me how to call a sql server stored procedure from oracle.
I've made an hsodbc connection and i can do insert, update, fetch data in sql server from oracle. But calling SP gives error. when I tried an SP at oracle that has line like
"dbo"."CreateReceipt"@hsa
where CreateReceipt is the SP of sql server and hsa is the DSN, it gives the error that "dbo"."CreateReceipt" should be declared.
my database version is 10g
Please help me how can i call it... I need to pass some parameters too to the SP
thanking you

hi,
thank you for the response.
when i call the sp using DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH, without parameters it works successfully, but with parameters it gives the following error
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid parameter number[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index (SQL State: S1093; SQL Code: 0)
my code is,
declare
c INTEGER;
nr INTEGER;
begin
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@hsa;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@hsa(c, 'Create_Receipt(?,?)');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@hsa(c,1,'abc');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@hsa(c,2,'xyz');
nr:=DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@hsa(c);
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@hsa(c);
end;
Create_Receipt is the sp which requires two parameters.
please give me a solution
thanking you

How to run a SQL Server Agent job step on certain days/frequency

I've a SQL Server Agent job. One of the requirement is that a particular step should only run on certain frequency i.e. Certain Date and time. Any suggestions how can that be done?
GBM

yes
1. Make first step as a Transact SQL step. Keep command as below
IF DAY(GETDATE()) = <Your date value>
AND DATEPART(hh,GETDATE()) = <your time hour)
AND DATEPART(minute,GETDATE()) = <your time minute)
SELECT 1
ELSE
RAISERROR 'Job cant be run at this time'
Then for job step properties set the following properties in advanced tab
This would make sure it will quit the job without executing other core steps untill it reaches the required day and time
You can add more conditions in IF based on requirement like if you want time to be on certain second or month to be particular value etc
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

SQL Server Store Procedure, selecting rows from multiple tables

i have got a store procedure that is pulling data from one table, now i have got the same data collected in a different table,
as the IDs are different i cannot put all data from the second table into the first one. so now i have to have two select statements in one store procedure. Although the corresponding data is same but the field names in both table are different. for instance
BRIEF_TITLE would be briefTitle in the second table. how can i merge the data from two different tables into one. the result is bonded to ASP.net grid view control.

>> I have a store procedure that is pulling data from one table, now I have got the same data collected in a different table, as the IDs are different I cannot put all data from the second table into the first one. <<
This is redundancy. The idea of databases even before RDBMS, was to remove redundancy. Oh, columns are not fields. These are basic concepts.
>> so now I have to have two select statements in one store procedure. Although the corresponding data is same but the field [sic] names in both table are different.<<
NO! Where is your data dictionary that assures data elements have one and only one name everywhere in the enterprise! You are is serious trouble here. The data element names should be universal and used everywhere with the same casing, so that case sensitive
standards will work.
>> for instance BRIEF_TITLE would be briefTitle in the second table.<<
The quick kludge is a VIEW with the ISO-11179 names over the camelCase crap
The moron who did the second table does not know ISO-11179 Standards and missed the research that showed us that camelCase does not work. Your eye is trained to jump to an Uppercase letter since it is the start of a semantic unit (proper name, sentence, paragraph,
emphasis, etc). When we researched this stuff at AIRMICS, this could add 8-12% to the time to maintain code in large systems. Your eyes twitch!
You really need to get your act together with a good text editor/ pretty printer tools. Get a copy of my SQL Programming Style and adapt it to those tools.

Running a SQL Server Stored Procedure in JSP

Hi peoples!
I have a whole heaps of stored procedure sitting in a SQL Server database I need to make use of.
Im not sure of the code I need to use to access them, and display information from them.
Thanks a heap

You Need to set up a connection object like thus:
Connection conn1 = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:NameOfDatabase", "UserName", "Password");
and then call the following:
CallableStatement cs = conn1.prepareCall("{call spHowMyTeamPerforms(?, ?)}");
cs.setString(1, TeamId);
cs.setInt(2, viewId);
ResultSet result2 = cs.executeQuery();
As you can see I have a stored procedure called spHowMyTeamPerforms which expects two parameters, which explains the bumpf underneath.
Look through the tutorials about PreparedStatements and Callable statements as well

Call a SQL Server stored procedure from AppleScript

Hi SSRS-Newebie,
I am not that into Java as well, based on my research, in your case, you shall modify the Java file as below.
import java.sql.CallableStatement;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://MYSERVER;databaseName=MYDATABASE",
"USERID", "PASSWORD");
/*call the procedure here*/
CallableStatement proc_stmt = con.prepareCall("{ call Int.dbo.GetNewJobNumber(?,?,?) }");
/*set values for SP parameters*/
proc_stmt.setString(1, "6852");
proc_stmt.setString(2, "Test Job");
proc_stmt.setString(3, "Manual SQL Query");
ResultSet rs = proc_stmt.executeQuery();
/*get the result set values*/
if (rs.next()) {
/*you need to change the below to get correlated columns according to what your SP returns*/
int employeeId = rs.getInt(1);
System.out.println("Generated employeeId: " + employeeId);
} else {
System.out.println("Stored procedure couldn't generate new Id");

SQL Server Stored Procedures

Is there a way of firing up SQL Server stroed procedures from
Flash 8?
If so could someone explain how to do it please, as I would
like to pass parameters from choices made via drop down lists
(populated from xml pages) to query a SQL Server 2000 database.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, I understand. But Flash doesn't talk directly to your
SQL API.
The SQL interface is only available through ASP (in your
case, or any number of server-side technologies). That's why you
use getUrl() (or other http request) to send data to an ASP script
which then executes the SQL statement 'execute <blah>
<blah> <blah>'.
You then take the results of that SQL, format it, and return
something to Flash all as part of the one and only HTTP request.
Does this make sense?

Writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into a Oracle table

Hello,
As a new DBA I have been tasked with writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into an Oracle table. I have been given many suggestions on how to do it from SQL Server but I I just need to write a stored procedure to run it from the Oracle side. Suggestions/guidance on where to start would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I started to write it based on what I have but I know this is not correct :/
# Here is the select statement for the data source in SQL Server...
SELECT COMPANY
,CUSTOMER
,TRANS_TYPE
,INVOICE
,TRANS_DATE
,STATUS
,TRAN_AMT
,CREDIT_AMT
,APPLD_AMT
,ADJ_AMT
,TRANS_USER1
,PROCESS_LEVEL
,DESCRIPTION
,DUE_DATE
,OUR_DATE
,OUR_TIME
,PROCESS_FLAG
,ERROR_DESCRIPTION
FROM data_source_table_name
#It loads data into the table in Oracle....
Insert into oracle_destination_table_name (
COMPANY,
CUSTOMER,
TRANS_TYPE,
INVOICE,
TRANS_DATE,
STATUS,
TRANS_AMT,
CREDIT_AMT,
APPLD_AMT,
ADJ_AMT,
TRANS_USER1,
PROCESS_LEVEL,
DESCRIPTION,
DUE_DATE,
OUR_DATE,
OUR_TIME,
PROCESS_FLAG,
ERROR_DESCRIPTION)
END;

CREATE TABLE statements would have been better as MS-SQL and Oracle don't have the same data types.
OUR_DATE, OUR_TIME will (most likely) be ONE column in Oracle.
DATABASE LINK
Personally, I'd just load the data over a database link:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_table@mssql_db_link
As far as creating the database link from Oracle to MS-SQL ... that is for somebody else to answer.
(most likely you'll need to use an ODBC driver)
EXTERNAL TABLE
If the data from MS-SQL is in a CSV file, just use and external table.
same concept:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_external_table

First, a basic concept. That also illustrates how different Oracle is (and PL/SQL) from SQL-Server (and T-SQL).
PL/SQL integrates two different languages. The PL language. The SQL language. It allows you to code SQL source code natively inside the PL language. The PL compiler is clever enough to do the rest - make calls to the SQL engine to create SQL cursors, bind PL variable values to bind variables in the SQL code. Etc.
PL is a "proper" programming language. It is much like Pascal (it is based on Ada, a close family member of Pascal). It is nothing at all like T-SQL.
Okay, now for the very basic rule for Oracle development.
Maximize SQL. This means using the SQL language to crunch data. It is the "closest" to the data. It is designed and optimised for dealing with data. Do your data processing using SQL.
Minimize PL/SQL. This means using the PL language not to crunch data, but to provide the conditional logic. Implement business rules. And then have the SQL language crunch the data as the data processing language.
Attempting to directly translate T-SQL code into PL/SQL is flawed. It is like trying to make coffee with teabags. Yeah, the tea may have caffeine it, but it is not coffee.
To do what that T-SQL script does, insert a row into a table, a typical PL/SQL equivalent will look as follows:
create or replace procedure InsertMaster( masterRow master%rowtype ) authid definer is
.. types and variables declared here
begin
-- masterRow is a record structure that matches the actual MASTER table
.. apply business rules and validation to the data.. raising user exceptions as needed
-- e.g. the POSITION column must be upper case
masterRow.position := upper(masterRow.position);
-- after the business logic and data validation we can add the row to the table
-- (PL will make the INSERT call to the SQL engine)
insert into master values masterRow;
end;No commit. The caller does the business transaction. It needs to decide when to commit to maintain the integrity of the data in the database. It may need to do several more calls, before committing.
With this approach, we can give the application schema (the caller) execute privs on this procedure. This procedure is defined with definer rights. This means it runs with the privs of owner of that procedure and MASTER table. It is trusted code. It does all the correct stuff to add a valid and checked row to the MASTER table. So we give the app schema execute privs on the procedure and no insert priv on the MASTER table.
The only way the caller can add row to the MASTER table is via this trusted procedure of ours.
And this is a typical approach in Oracle - using the PL/SQL (both PL language and SQL language) code to create an interface to a logical database in Oracle. Abstracting the complexities of SQL from the caller. Moving business and validation into PL. Allowing us the flexibility of modifying business and validation logic, without touching a single byte of caller/client code. Allowing us to manage and tune SQL performance without dealing with (badly designed and coded) SQL from a client - as the SQL resides in PL/SQL packages and procedures and functions.
