How to update data returned using REF CURSOR

Hi all,
I am trying to update updated data in a gridview but the update button seem to do nothing as i retrieve data using REF CURSOR.
Let me describe the architecture of my application first. I'm trying to implement best practice whenever possible. I am following the data access tutorial published in www.asp.net , the only difference is that i have an Oracle (10g) database. So I split my application into three layers, data access, business logic, and presentation layer. I'm also writing all queries in an Oracle package.
So I have my Oracle packages that perform CRUD operations. Then I have an xsd file that define dataTable based on the package procedure. My business logic layer then calls functions defined in the xsd file. And finally a detailsView control that uses an ObjectDataSource to call business logic functions.
In a nutshell, I am just trying to update records retrieved using REF CURSOR. Your help is very much appreciated. Please let me know if further details are required. Cheers,

In the DataSet (xsd) where your DataTable is defined, you just need to add additional methods to the TableAdapter to handle insert, update and delete, either with SQL or by mapping to stored procedures.
Alternatively in code, create an OracleDataAdapter and supply its InsertCommand, UpdateCommand and DeleteCommand.

How to retrieve data from a REF CURSOR using OCI 8.0?

I found an example in Oracle docs (shown below) that discusses how to bind a REF CURSOR for later data retrieval, but it does not explain actually how to do the later data retrieval.
I hope someone can explain it to me. Thanks
The OCI provides the ability to bind and define PL/SQL REF CURSORs and nested tables. An application can use a statement handle to bind and define these types of variables. As an example, consider this PL/SQL block:
static const text plsql_block = (text )
"begin \
OPEN :cursor1 FOR SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, sal, deptno \
FROM emp_rc WHERE job=:job ORDER BY empno; \
OPEN :cursor2 FOR SELECT * FROM dept_rc ORDER BY deptno; \
end;";
An application would allocate a statement handle for binding, by calling OCIHandleAlloc(), and then bind the :cursor1 placeholder to the statement handle, as in the following code, where :cursor1 is bound to stm2p. Note that the handle allocation code is not included here.
err = OCIStmtPrepare (stm1p, errhp, (text *) nst_tab, strlen(nst_tab),
OCI_NTV_SYNTAX, OCI_DEFAULT);
err = OCIBindByName (stm1p, (OCIBind **) bndp, errhp,
(text *)":cursor1", (sb4)strlen((char *)":cursor1"),
(dvoid *)&stm2p, (sb4) 0, SQLT_RSET, (dvoid *)0,
(ub2 *)0, (ub2 *)0, (ub4)0, (ub4 *)0, (ub4)OCI_DEFAULT);
In this code, stm1p is the statement handle for the PL/SQL block, while stm2p is the statement handle which is bound as a REF CURSOR for later data retrieval. A value of SQLT_RSET is passed for the dty parameter.

( sorry, i forgot the Link where i get this html fiLes, so i just copy-paste here )
( maybe it can heLp you a bit. -- it's heLp me, for sure )
And the following is thanks to Brett Rosen :
I noticed that you didn't have an OCI entry
on http://osi.oracle.com/~tkyte/ResultSets/index.html .
Here is OCI code to do this (Oracle 81) if you want to include it on
that page.
Some error checking and cleanup has been removed, but the below should
work. (once dbname has been replaced appropriately)

How to return a ref cursor from this dbms_sql?

Hi,
Can anyone show me how to return a ref cursor from this dbms_sql based procedure? I see 11g has a dbms_sql.to_refcursor(cursor_handle). How can this be done is 10g?
Thx.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Sample_Get_t
p_sample_id sample.sample_id%TYPE,
p_contract_id sample.contr_id%TYPE
IS
cursor_handle INT;
sql_stmnt varchar2(500);
rows_processed NUMBER;
BEGIN
sql_stmnt :=
'SELECT
sample_id,
contr_id,
rcpt_id
FROM
sample s
WHERE
s.contr_id = :1
and s.sample_id = :2
ORDER BY
sample_id';
cursor_handle := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse(cursor_handle, sql_stmnt, dbms_sql.native);
dbms_sql.bind_variable(cursor_handle, ':1', p_contract_id);
dbms_sql.bind_variable(cursor_handle, ':2', p_sample_id);
rows_processed := dbms_sql.execute(cursor_handle);
dbms_sql.close_cursor(cursor_handle);
END Sample_Get_t;

In 10 this cannot be done with dbms_sql (to my knowledge). There are a couple of other options.
1) open the ref cursor for the dynamic statement using bind variables (or SYS_CONTEXT variables, which i prefer since they are much easier to deal with when you are dynamically adding predicates).
declare
   wRefCursor SYS_REFCURSOR;
begin
   open wRefCursor for 'select * from all_objects where owner = :Logged_in_user' using user;
end;
/or using the context (the context will bind for you)
declare
   wRefCursor SYS_REFCURSOR;
begin
   open wRefCursor for 'select * from all_objects where owner = SYS_CONTEXT(''CONTEXT_NAME'', ''VARIABLE_NAME'') ';
end;
/Be aware that contexts ALWAYS return varchar values, so if you are comparing to a number you should wrap it in TO_NUMBER, a date, TO_DATE and so on....
2) change the DBMS_SQL to do an insert into a global temporary table and return the ref cursor which select's * from GTT;
3) upgrade to Oracle 11 :)

Plsql use a function which returns a ref cursor

Hi
I've been using an function which returns a ref cursor. I've been returning this into a java resultset. Fine!
Now i'm in plsql and want to use the same function. I'm not sure how to get this resultset in plsql.

It's not very practical to use a refcursor like you want to, but here you go
create or replace function test_ref
return sys_refcursor
is
v_rc sys_refcursor;
begin
open v_rc for select emp_name from emp ;
return v_rc;
end;
declare
v_rc sys_refcursor;
v_emp_name emp.emp_name%type;
begin
v_rc := test_ref ;
loop
    fetch v_rc into v_emp_name ;
    exit when v_rc%notfound ;
    dbms_output.put_line('Employee Name: '||v_emp_name );
end loop;
end;

How to access variable number of columns using ref cursor !

Hi,
I am trying to get variable number of columns using ref cursor.
Declare
mySzSql varchar2(2000);
Type dynSqlRC is Ref cursor;
current_cur dynSqlRC;
tbl_rec alt_42_consolidated%Rowtype;
Begin:
/* This works */
mySzSql := 'select *
from
Table1
Where
rowid = ''AAEWNEABXAAAAkxAAA''';
/* i want something like this to work, this is not working, giving missing variable name error */
mySzSql := 'select col1, col2, col3
from
Table1
Where
rowid = ''AAEWNEABXAAAAkxAAA''';
open current_cur for mySzSql;
fetch current_cur into tbl_rec;
close current_cur;
End;
I do have the list of desired columns which I am looking to fetch, so after taking that in the record type, how should i get their values. Is it possible to traverse tbl_rec declared above and if column name matches then I will store the value in the array and finally return this array.
Can somebody please tell me how to do this.
Thanks

It appears that this is a followup to How to loop through columns selected by select clause which is itself a followup to [url="
How to execute dynamic sql"]this earlier thread.
Assuming these are intended to be followup questions, can we please stick to a single thread? That makes it a lot easier to understand the situation and follow the conversation. Starting multiple threads makes it harder to follow the conversation.

Cursors are not closed when using Ref Cursor Query in a report ORA-01000

Dear Experts
Oracel database 11g,
developer suite 10.1.2.0.2,
application server 10.1.2.0.2,
Windows xp platform
For a long time, I'm hitting ORA-01000
I have a 2 group report (master and detail) using Ref Cusor query, when this report is run, I found that it opens several cursors (should be only one cursor) for the detail query although it should not, I found that the number of these cursors is equal to the number of master records.
Moreover, after the report is finished, these cursors are not closed, and they are increasing cumulatively each time I run the report, and finally the maximum number of open cursors is exceeded, and thus I get ORA-01000.
I increased the open cursors parameter for the database to an unbeleivable value 30000, but of course it will be exceeded during the session because the cursors are increasing cumulatively.
I Found that this problem is solved when using only one master Ref Cursor Query and create a breake group, the problem is solved also if we use SQL Query instead of Ref Query for the master and detail queries, but for some considerations, I should not use neither breake group nor SQL Query, I have to use REF Cursor queries.
Is this an oracle bug , and how can I overcome ?
Thanks

Ref Cursors / throwing data into a Ref Cursor as data is fetched

I was wondering if anyone has executed an SQL statement and as each row is being fetched back from an SQL, doing some data checks and processing to see if the row is valid to return or not, based on the values being fetched in an SQL.
For example, I'm taking an SQL statement and trying to do some tuning. I have an Exists clause in the Where statement that has a nested sub-query with some parameters passed in. I am attempting to move that statement to a function call in a package (which is called in the SELECT statement). As I fetch each row back, I want to check some values that are Selected and if the values are met, then, I want to execute the function to see if the data exists. If it does exist, then, I want the fetched row returned in the Ref Cursor. If the criteria is met and the row doesn't exist in the function call, then, I don't want the fetched row to return.
Right now, the data has to be thrown to REF Cursor because it's being outputted to the Java application as a Result Set.
I've found many statements where you can take a SELECT statement and throw the Results in the Ref Cursor. But, I want to go a step further and before I throw each row in the Ref Cursor, I want to some processing to see if I put the Fetched Row in the Ref Cursor.
If someone has a better idea to accomplish this, I'm all ears. Like I say, I'm doing this method only for the sake of doing some database tuning and I think this will speed things up. Having the EXISTS clause works and it runs fast from an End-user standpoint but, when it processes on the database with the nested subquery, it is slow.
Here's an example of something that might be a problem (Notice the nested subquery). I moved the nested subquery to a function call written on the database package and make the call to the procedure/package in the SELECT statement. As I process each row, I want to check some values prior having the function call execute. If it meet some criteria, then the record is Ok to fetch and display in the Ref Cursor. If it does not meet the criteria and goes through the function and doesn't return data, then, I don't want the Fetched row from the main query to return the data.:
SELECT EMPNO,
FIRST_NAME,
LAST_NAME
FROM EMP E,
DEPT D
WHERE E.DEPTNO = D.DEPTNO
AND EXISTS (SELECT 'X'
FROM MANAGER M
WHERE M.MANAGER_ID = E.MANAGER_ID
AND MANAGER_TYPE IN (SELECT MANAGER_TYPE
FROM MANAGER_LOOKUP ML WHERE ML.MANAGER_TYPE = M.MANAGER_TYPE))
Any help or ideas of other things to try is appreciated. Keep in mind that I am returning this data to the Java application so, throwing the data to a Ref Cursor in the PL/SQL is the ideal method.

Ref cursors are not required nor desirable when writing java database application. Cursors are mentioned only once in the JDBC documentation reference guide, in the section "Memory Leaks and Running Out of Cursors".
In a word cursors are just plain ridiculous, and in fact I never used them in my 15+ years of application development practice:

Need Help: Using Ref Cursor in ProC to call a function within a Package

I'm calling a function within a package that is returning a REF CURSOR.
As per the Oracle Pro*C Programmer's Guide, I did the following:
1) declared my cursor with a: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION and declared the cursor as: SQL_CURSOR my_cursor;
2) I allocated the cursor as: EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :my_cursor;
3) Via a EXEC SQL.....END-EXEC begin block
I called the package function and assign the return value to my cursor
e.g. my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2);
Now, the only difference between my code and the example given in the Pro*C Programmer's Guide is that the example calls a PROCEDURE within a package that passes back the REF CURSOR as an OUT host variable.
Whereas, since I am calling a function, the function ASSIGNS the return REF CURSOR in the return value.
If I say my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2); I get a message stating, "PLS-00201: identifier MY_CURSOR" must be declared"
If I say :my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2); I get a message stating, "ORA-01480: trailing null missing from STR bind value"
I just want to call a package function and assign the return value to a REF CURSOR variable. There must be a way of doing this. I can do this easily in standard PL/SQL. How can this be done in Pro*C ???
Thanks for any help.

Folks, I figured it out. For those who may face this problem in the future you may want to take note for future reference.
Oracle does not allow you to assign the return value of a REF CURSOR from a FUNCTION ( not Procedure - - there is a difference) directly to a host variable. This is the case even if that host variable is declared a CURSOR variable.
The trick is as follows: Declare the REF CURSOR within the PL/SQL BEGIN Block, using the TYPE statement, that will contain the call to the package function. On the call, you then assign the return REF CURSOR value that the function is returning to your REF CURSOR variable declared in the DECLARE section of the EXEC SQL .... END-EXEC PL/SQL Block.
THEN, assign the REF CURSOR variable that was populated from the function call to your HOST cursor varaible. Then fetch this HOST Cursor variable into your Host record structure variable. Then you can deference individual fields as need be within your C or C++ code.
I hope this will help someone facing a deadline crunch. Happy computing !

How to convert the varray to ref cursor

Hi,
Is there any way to convert varray to ref cursor....
i dont want to use any table or record as an ref cursor..
i just want to create a procedure which returns a ref cursor..
below is the sample procedure for it..
create or replace procedure FETCH_DATA1
tab_name in varchar2,
p_recordset1 OUT fetch_data_pak.ref_cursor
AS
type v_array1 is varray(1000) of t_transaction%rowtype;
v_array2 v_array1;
cursor s1 is select * from t_transaction where lastupdate_date > '08-Aug-09';
begin
open s1;
fetch s1 bulk collect into v_array2 limit 100;
close s1;
select * from table(cast (v_array2 as p_recordset1));
end FETCH_DATA1;
I need to convert the varray to ref cursor.....

Why put it into a varray at all?
You can just open the ref cursor for that select you are desiring.
And if you need to limit it to returning just the first 100 (as your code seems to imply), wrap it and filter on rownum.
Something similar to this:
create or replace procedure FETCH_DATA1
tab_name in varchar2,
p_recordset1 OUT fetch_data_pak.ref_cursor
AS
begin
open p_recordset1 for
select /*+ first_rows(100) */ * from (
    select * from t_transaction
    where lastupdate_date > to_date('08-08-2009','DD-MM-YYYY')
    --order by something
where rownum <= 100;
end FETCH_DATA1;And note, that you really should have an order by when you wish to limit yourself to "first 100 rows" - otherwise it will be "random 100 rows".
That goes for your cursor solution as well...

Added explicit date conversion - it is bad practice not to explicitly convert dates ;-)

Report using ref cursor or dynamic Sql

Hi,
I never create a report using a ref cursor or a dynamic sql. Could any one help me to solve the below issue.
I have 2 tables.
1. Student_Record
2. Student_csv_help
Student_Record the main table where the data is stored.
Student_csv_help will contain the all the column names of the Student_record.

Now my requirement is:
I have a form with Student_record data block. When i Click on print Button on this form. It will open another window which has Student_CSV_HELP.DESC_NAME and a check box before this.
The window look like as below:
check_box       DESC_NAME+
X                   S_ID+
--                   S_Name+
X                   S_Join_date+
X                   S_Address+
--                  S_Fee+
X means check box checked.+
-- means check box Unchecked.+
After i selected these check boxes i will send 2 parameters to the report server
1. a string parameter to the report server which has the value 'S_ID,S_Join_date,S_Address' (p_column_name := 'S_ID,S_Join_date,S_Address');
2. the s_id value from the student_record block (p_S_id := '101');
Now my requirement is when i click on run. I need a report like as below:
Student ID : 101+
Joining Date : 12/17/2009 08:00:00+
Address : CA-94777+
This is nothing but the ref cursor should run like as below:
Select S_id from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
Select S_Join_date from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
Select S_Address from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
So, according to my understanding i have to select the columns at the run time. I dont have much knowledge in creating reports using ref cursor or dynamic sql.
So please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Plain sql should satisfy your need. Try ....
Select S_id, S_Join_date, S_Address
from student_record
where S_id = :p_S_id

Using ref cursor in where clause

I have a stored procedure (package procedure) that returns a ref cursor as a parameter. This procedure performs a query and returns the cursor. The procedure calls another stored procedure within the package. This second procedure also returns a ref cursor. I want to do my query on the results of the cursor returned by the second procedure. Hopefully the example below is okay.. "I had to change names to protect the blah blah...."
For example:
TYPE out_cursor IS REF CURSOR;
TYPE IDTable IS TABLE OF table1.ID%TYPE;
PROCEDURE A
v_ID IN NUMBER,
v_Param2 IN NUMBER,
v_FromClause IN VARCHAR2, -- ignore for now
v_WhereClause IN VARCHAR2, -- ignore for now
v_retval OUT NUMBER,
the_cursor OUT out_cursor
IS
v_SQLString VARCHAR2(2048);
v_cursor1 out_cursor;
v_tabIDs IDTable;
BEGIN
v_SQLString := '';
packageA.procedureA(v_ID, v_retval, v_cursor1);
-- this does not work
-- I get ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
v_SQLString := 'select distinct * from v_cursor1';
-- I found this on the message board but
-- it did not compile.
-- local collection types not allowed in SQL statements
FETCH v_cTSFiles BULK COLLECT INTO v_tabIDs;
v_SQLString := 'select distinct * from table1 WHERE table1.ID in (select * from table(v_tabIDs))';
OPEN the_cursor FOR v_SQLString;
END;

You can use that second technique but as the error message says, "local collection types not allowed in SQL statements". You need to create a schema type instead.
[sql]
create or replace type ttab_number is table of number
create or replace procedure p is
tab_id ttab_number;
refcur sys_refcursor;
begin
open refcur for
select user_id
from all_users;
fetch refcur bulk collect into tab_id;
close refcur;
for rec in (
select *
from all_users
where user_id in (
select *
from table(cast(tab_id as ttab_number)))
) loop
dbms_output.put_line(rec.username);
end loop;
end;

Invalid SQL error using REF CURSOR

I'm getting an "invalid SQL statement" in my function that is returning a REF CURSOR. I have tested this function in SQL*Plus and it works fine.
-- package level variable
TYPE t_cursor IS REF CURSOR;
Function find_patient
     p_ssan IN varchar2,
     p_patient_details OUT t_cursor
     RETURN t_cursor
     IS
     v_cursor t_cursor;
     BEGIN
     OPEN v_cursor FOR
     SELECT name,sex,pay_grade,
          FLOOR(MONTHS_BETWEEN(sysdate,birthdate) / 12) AS age,
          patient_num
     FROM patient
     WHERE ssan = p_ssan;
     p_patient_details := v_cursor;
     RETURN p_patient_details;
     END find_patient;
-- C# code
OracleParameter ssan_in = new OracleParameter("p_ssan",OracleDbType.Varchar2);
OracleParameter cursor_out = new OracleParameter("p_patient_details",OracleDbType.RefCursor);
cmd.Parameters.Add(ssan_in).Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
cmd.Parameters.Add(cursor_out).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
ssan_in.Value = "555555555";
OracleRefCursor cur = (OracleRefCursor) cursor_out.Value;
try
dbconn.Open();
                    OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                    while (dr.Read())
                         pat_name.Text = dr["NAME"].ToString();
                         age.Text = dr["AGE"].ToString();
                         rank.Text = dr["PAY_GRADE"].ToString();
                         gender.Text = dr["SEX"].ToString();
                         pat_num.Text = dr["PATIENT_NUM"].ToString();
Any suggestions?

First, you have an output parameter of type ref cursor and a return value. You shouldn't have both.
Second, try CommandType.Text and a CommandText like:
"begin :rc := find_patient(:ssan); end;"
It's easier to see how to bind the parameters like that. Bind first a OracleRefCursor output parameter, then an ssan%type InputParameter.

Getting data stored in ref cursor ( got from store proc in oracle) to excel sheet)

Hey, I am trying to Get data stored in ref cursor ( got from store proc in oracle) to excel sheet in a virtual folder using ssis.
I am getting errors and cant do it. If anyone can help me

Hi Nabin000,
The Oracle stored procedure doesn't work with SSIS source adapters such as OLE DB Source because the data provider doesn't provide metadata for the source adapter. To achieve your goal, you can use a Script Component as source to call
the Oracle stored procedure by using System.Data.OracleClient OracleDataReader, and get the rows and add them to the pipeline buffer. For more information, please see:

Using Ref Cursors as region source

Is it possible to use a function that returns a ref cursor as a region's source? I asked this question at the end of another thread and got no response so I made this new thread.
I created an application called 'ref cursor' on apex.oracle.com at
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=4550
Workspace : wc_jason
username: dev
password: password
There is a table named TBL and a function returning a ref cursor name FNC. On the home page there are three regions, one using a sql statement, one using a pl/sql function returning a sql statement, and one that attempts to use a ref cursor. The ref cursor region's condition is set to NEVER because I couldn't get it to work and I wanted to show the page with the two working regions.
Can I even use a ref cursor in this manor?
Thanks for the help.

Heres a quick example I did for you:
create or replace package pkg_refcursordemo
as
type rc_generic is ref cursor;
rec_emp emp%rowtype;
type tab_emp is table of emp%rowtype;
procedure proc_get_emp (
pi_ename in emp.ename%type
,pio_emp_rc in out rc_generic
function func_get_emp (
pi_ename in emp.ename%type
return tab_emp pipelined;
end pkg_refcursordemo;
create or replace package body pkg_refcursordemo
as
-- Procedure with in out ref cursor parameter
procedure proc_get_emp (
pi_ename in emp.ename%type
,pio_emp_rc in out rc_generic
is
begin
open pio_emp_rc for
select empno
, ename
, job
, mgr
, hiredate
, sal
, comm
, deptno
from emp
where ename like pi_ename||'%';
end proc_get_emp;
-- Wrapper pipelined function
function func_get_emp (
pi_ename in emp.ename%type
return tab_emp pipelined
is
l_rc_generic rc_generic;
l_rec_emp emp%rowtype;
begin
proc_get_emp (
pi_ename => pi_ename
,pio_emp_rc => l_rc_generic
loop
fetch l_rc_generic into l_rec_emp;
exit when l_rc_generic%notfound;
pipe row ( l_rec_emp );
end loop;
close l_rc_generic;
return;
end func_get_emp;
end pkg_refcursordemo;
create or replace view vw_emp
as
select empno
, ename
, job
, mgr
, hiredate
, sal
, comm
, deptno
from table ( pkg_refcursordemo.func_get_emp( null ) )
SQL> select * from vw_emp;

Whats cool is you can declare the view with an APEX variable in it e.g.
create or replace view vw_emp
as
select empno
, ename
, job
, mgr
, hiredate
, sal
, comm
, deptno
from table ( pkg_refcursordemo.func_get_emp( v('P1_ENAME_PARAM' ) )
