How to test a procedure in plsql developer

Hi all,
Can anyone please tell me how should I test a procedure and find the dbms_output. Thanks.
Sara Dee

My procedure is complied with warnings. FYI: Compiler warnings differ from compiler errors. You can also disable the warnings, sometimes they're quite annoying.
"While compiling stored PL/SQL units, the PL/SQL compiler generates warnings for conditions that are not serious enough to cause errors and prevent compilation—for example, using a deprecated PL/SQL feature."
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25519/errors.htm#LNPLS00711
But when I test the procedure, what should I include in the dbms_output.put_line?Whatever it is you want/need to know.
It could be the actual value of a parameter or variable you want to check, for example.
Or in an IF-THEN-ELSE construction, you can see through which part the code actually runs.
Another word is 'code instrumentation'.

How to test a procedure which returns a recordset from pl/sql

hello,
Is it possible to test a procedure which returns a recordset from pl/sql?
Everything I try results in errors like PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type, when I try to open the result cursor
or PLS-00221: tc is not a procedure or is undefined.
I created the following procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE test AS
TYPE cursorType is REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE test_cursor( tc IN OUT cursorType,
v_err OUT varchar2,
v_msg OUT varchar2);
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE BODY test AS
PROCEDURE test_cursor
(tc IN OUT cursorType,
v_err OUT varchar2,
v_msg OUT varchar2)
AS
BEGIN
open tc for
SELECT '1' "number" FROM dual
union
select '2' "number" from dual;
v_msg := 'no errors';
v_err := 0;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
v_msg := 'no data found';
v_err := SQLCODE;
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
v_msg := SQLERRM;
v_err := SQLCODE;
END;
END;
I try to get the output from pl/sql with something like this:
DECLARE
TC PROVGRON.TEST.cursorType;
V_ERR VARCHAR2(200);
V_MSG VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
V_ERR := NULL;
V_MSG := NULL;
PROVGRON.TEST.TEST_CURSOR ( TC, V_ERR, V_MSG );
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line('V_ERR = ' || V_ERR);
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line('V_MSG = ' || V_MSG);
-- in tc I was hoping to hava a cursor??
FOR i IN tc
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (i.number);
END LOOP;
END;
Without the for loop (or open tc) the pl/sql will output:
V_ERR = 0
V_MSG = no errors
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
With anything I try with the cursor I get errors?
What am I doing wrong?

Hello Justin,
I am new to Oracle and I was looking for an answer for a similar problem that I was facing and landed on to this link. I hope you will guide me thru this.
I am writing a procedure to insert data to a table. My procedure works fine but I am not able to get the Exceptions run.
I was trying to supress the error ORA-06550 thru PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT so that if less or wrong parameters are passed to the procedure then instead of an Oracle I would provide my own error statement.
I have coded something like this:
create or replace PROCEDURE emp_insert (....+parameters+....)
inv_data EXCEPTION;
PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(inv_data, -06550);
begin
EXCEPTION
When inv_data then
dbms_output.put_line('xxxxxxx')
END emp_insert;
But even after this I am getting the Oracle error statments when I pass wrong parameters:
EXECUTE emp_insert('ABC',NULL)
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'EMP_INSERT'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:
Am I handling the exception correctly?
If not, is there any other way to supress this error.
I would really appreciate your help on this.
Thanks,
Nitin

How run Procedure in SQL Developer?

I need run procedure in SQL Developer with parameter : 2009
create or replace PROCEDURE "update_table" (ff_year in varchar2) AS
CURSOR c_update IS
select DISTINCT P.mafew name, u.frew nameone, t.greddf, .........
I click green button RUN and have new window Run PL/SQL. Where in this script I need to print 2009?
DECLARE
FF_YEAR VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
FF_YEAR := NULL;
update_table(
FF_YEAR => FF_YEAR
END;

Hi,
user10886774 wrote:
Thanks all!
I can run the procedure like 1 or 2 example? Is it right?
1 like Run Script
EXEC "UPDATE_TABLE" ('2009');
2 click RUN on UPDATE_TABLE procedure
DECLARE
FF_YEAR VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
FF_YEAR := '2009';
UPDATE_TABLE(
FF_YEAR => FF_YEAR
END;
What is the name of the procedure?
Is it update_tabe (all small letters)? If so, you must reference it as "update_table" (all small letters, inside double-quotes).
Is it UPDATE_TABLE (all capital letters)? If so, you have the choice of referencing it as "UPDATE_TABLE" (all capital letters, inside double-quotes) or as update_table, or Update_Table, or UPDATE_TABLE, or uPdAtE_taBle, or ... (any kind of letters, without quotes).
How about commit after?How about it?
What is the question?
If you want to commit, say COMMIT or click on the COMMIT icon.

Hi,
There are mainly two ways for transportation in XI:

Need advise on SQL,plsql developer career and future

Hi all,
I need all your advise in making an important decisions of my career path.I work in the IT field and have about total 4-5 years of work experience involving development and testing in a product based organization.
Presently-i have got chance since last 4-5 months to work with writing PLSQL code,SQL etc on a part basis. I am very much interested to continue my career path as a PLSQL developer.
But, unfortunately -in the total of my work experience-in the past 2-3 years-i worked with a internally developed DB query language(similar to SQL) and then from last few months with plsql. But this chance to work with PLSQL has been for less time and limited scope after which i will have to work on something different.
Ii want to fully take on my career in SQL,PLSQL as Database Developer.
Please advise me if my thinking seems logical and good and if I could do it. I have planned on applying for relevant SQL,PLSQL profile jobs.
Now, My serious worry and concern is I feel that since i have worked very less with PLSQL-so am low in confidence that I feel i wont be able to answer ,or tell or not knowledgeable enough to be able to clear the technical interviews for SQL,plsql development profile which would need at least some years of experience.
I have started studying and practsing PLSQL,sql by myself for from internet. So, can you all please advise me on how could i prepare myself for hard core technical interviews of SQL,PLSQL knowledge for about 2-3 years expertise.
I know its not much possible to be competent so much in the subject by just studying and practicing.Its easy as saying to study and get it by myself-but i want to try and will put my best for it.
Please help me with your inputs,all interview questions,hard ones-suggestions,links,any study materials, real time problems which i can try solving of SQL, PLSQL development.
Thanks All

Hi,
A very good starting point is (in my opinion): [Steven Feuerstein PL/SQL Obsession|http://www.toadworld.com/Knowledge/DatabaseKnowledge/StevenFeuersteinsPLSQLObsession/tabid/153/Default.aspx]. Also the official site [PL/SQL Technology Center|http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/pl_sql/index.html]

Oracle PLSQL developer guidance needed

Hi,
I am working as a PLSQL developer since last 3 years ,have a oracle certification on it. My current profile also includes
dba activities related to development and test databases.
Wanted to ask if i continue further in plsql would doing a oracle dba certification be helpful for my career.
Also that after a couple of years in plsql what would be my profile and if i went for a dba profile now then what would be my profile.
Seniors please guide.
Thanks.

Thanks.bigdelboy is not a senior, merely a bigdelboy ... thoug I suppose as he was talking about ICL4130's today his age may be showing a little.
As you have a PL/SQL I assume (possibly incorrectly) it is a PL/SQL OCA certification. In that case you should ensure you get a PL/SQL OCP first to demonstrate a high level of competence in that area.
After that you may feel that a DBA certifcatiion may be helpful it towards some of the 'DBA' takes you are doing. 'DBA' covers a whole load of things, so its difficult to say how relevant the OCA would be for you. But a different way of looking at it is that self studying for a DBA probably wouldn't do much harm and you would learn cosething is the self study. But having said that you might want to review other things to look at:
(1) Make sure you have done the 2 day dba course (and sit the exam also. You would get a cert but you might get a useful exam pass and it might be relevant to what you are doing).
(2) Make sure there isn't something else you should be doing instead. The SQL OCE would be one thought. Or perhaps something completely different like UML. Or maybe some of the SOA stuff. Or maybe things that are not certifable like SQL statement tuning, or database security things, or Business intelligence .....
The things I've mentioned are not directly career moved focused, so in that sense I probably havan't answered your question.

In you post on the other forum include your 4 digit Oracle version and the version of SQL Developer that you are using.
Also provide the step by step details of how you are trying to create the new connection.
The error message is telling you that you are using a server or host name that does not exist.

You can obviously schedule a job in database using Database Scheduler but you should have a appropriate privilege to do so.
Best thing is ask your DBA and they will schedule for you. You just have to proivde, what time you want to execute and what you want to execute and they will take care.
SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB
job_name => 'your_job_name'

Don't look at the function, it might have errors but my primary concern is how to test this function. Once I start doing its testing then only i can understand any bugs(if any).
My pl sql is not so good. Im still learning. I don't understand IN and OUT parameters are.
I just know that IN parameters r those whick we pass in to the function wen we call it and OUT parameters are those through which we get the result.
Thanks in advance
