IN OUT parameters in Stored Procedures

can anybody explain in detail what is in and out parameters in oracle stored procedures.
thanks in advance

IN is used to specify parameters that are input to the stored procedures. OUT is used to specify parameters that can be returned from the stored procedures.
Please don't get confused with procdures returning value.. You don't need to write a return statement.. just assigning the values to OUT parameters is good ebnough to retireve there values outside stored procedures.
Hope it helps.

URGENT!!! a way to find out if Oracle stored procedures have OUT parameters

I'm having problemes properly creating a string for the prepareCall().
so that i can call up a stored procedure in oracle.
the problem is that some stored procedures have OUT parameters that I have to register, and some stored procedures don't.
how can i find out if a stored procedure has an OUT parameter or not?
So that i can format a string with one less ? for statements that don't,
and one more ? for statements that do have an OUT parameter.
is there such a method as boolean OUTparameterExist();
or i'll take any suggestions.

any other solutions?That was the solution. You don't need to execute any sql statement to get Database Meta Data. You just need a connection, which you use to get the DatabaseMetaData instance
DatabaseMetaData dbmd = connection.getMetaData();then invoke any of the (numerous) methods to get the info you require
ResultSet rs = dbmd.getProcedureColumns("mydb","myschema","myproc",null);
while(rs.next()) {
String name = rs.getString("COLUMN_NAME");
if (rs.getShort("COLUMN_TYPE")==DatabaseMetaData.procedureColumnOut) {
// column is an OUT parameter

Arrays as IN/OUT parameters to stored procs

I need the ability to pass Java arrays as input parameters and receive arrays as output parameters from stored procedures. I searched this forum for "array stored procedure" and came up with 9 posts dating back to April 30, 1999. In every one of these posts, people have asked how this can be done, and as yet there has not been any real solution provided. One messy solution is to add another stored proc that takes the array items as scalars and builds a PL/SQL table to pass to the original stored proc.
I am getting the impression that using arrays for IN/OUT parameters to/from stored procedures is not possible with JDK 1.1. Can it be done with JDK 1.2?
Isn't there anyone from Oracle that can provide an answer or solution?

I've searched for a way of passing a rowtype to a stored
procedure or passing an array to a stored procedure.
The following example may have some pertinence. It was posted at
http://www.classicity.com/oracle/htdocs/forums/ClsyForumID124/6.h
tml#
I also think that it would be useful to know how best to pas a
ResultSet or equivalent to a Stored Procedure, if someone has
more information. The idea is to have symmetry between the way
data is retrieved from SP's (CURSORS) and supplied to SP's (???
ARRAY/CURSOR) ?
"[Example]Example of using JDBC with VARRAYS and REF CURSORs"
This example shows how to use JDBC with VARRAYS and REF
CURSORs.
It also shows use of the PreparedStatement and CallableStatement
methods.
The example does the follows:
1. selects from a table of VARRAYs
2. inserts into a table of VARRAYs
3. selects from a table of VARRAYs
4. calls stored procedure -- parameters <ref cursor, varray>
In order to test it, you will need to do two things first:
1) Create related tables and types first. The screipt is given
below.
2) Create a package that gets called from JAVA code. The script
is given below.
======================= Step 1 create tables etc. cute here
==================
-- Run this through SQL*PLUS
drop TABLE varray_table;
drop TYPE num_varray;
drop TABLE sec;
-- create the type
create TYPE num_varray as VARRAY(10) OF NUMBER(12, 2);
-- create the table
create TABLE varray_table (col1 num_varray);
-- create the sec table
create table sec (sec_id number(8) not null, sec_grp_id number
(8) not null,
company_id number(8) not null);
insert into sec values (1,200,11);
insert into sec values (2,1100,22);
insert into sec values (3,1300,33);
insert into sec values (4,1800,44);
==================== End of step
1===========================================
================== Step 2 create package
====================================
-- Run it through sql*plus
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE packageA AS
type sctype is ref cursor return SEC%ROWTYPE;
procedure get_port_consensus(sc IN OUT sctype, arr IN
num_varray);
procedure test_port_consensus(sc IN OUT sctype);
END packageA;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY packageA AS
procedure test_port_consensus(sc IN OUT sctype)
IS
testArr num_varray := num_varray(200, 1100, 1300, 1800);
BEGIN
get_port_consensus(sc, testArr);
END test_port_consensus;
procedure get_port_consensus(sc IN OUT sctype, arr IN num_varray)
IS
BEGIN
open sc for select * from sec
where sec_grp_id = arr(1)
or sec_grp_id = arr(2)
or sec_grp_id = arr(3)
or sec_grp_id = arr(4);
END get_port_consensus;
END packageA;

Problems getting a resultset out of a stored procedure

We're having a problem getting a resultset out of a stored procedure with JDBC. The third parameter for the procedure is an out REF CURSOR. Connection to the database is fine, we just keep getting the following error when we do the GetCursor(3) statement:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
We know for definate that something is coming out of the database as we can call it from ODBC without any errors. If anyone's got any ideas as to what's going wrong please let me know!
The cut-down code follows:
public class JSMatt extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
out.println("Registering driver...");
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
// Connect to the DB
out.println("Connecting to database...");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@computer:db",
"username", "password");
// Create a statement using a stored procedure
out.println("Creating query...");
OracleCallableStatement st = (OracleCallableStatement)conn.prepareCall ("BEGIN archive.spSrchLanguage (?, ?, ?); END;");
st.registerOutParameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
st.setInt(1, 0);
st.setInt(2, 12);
st.execute();
ResultSet rs = ((OracleCallableStatement)st).getCursor(3);
null

Further study of my colleagues issue reveals that the problem only occurs where we are using a synonym for our package even though the user has permissions to run it (and indeed does when using ODBC or OLEDB).
If we call a procedure in our package which does not return a ref cursor then the procedure is getting called fine (as can be evidenced by the database inserts etc within the procedures).
Ideally we would like to use a synonym (I like to keep nice clean tidy schemas!) so if anyone knows how to get around it please let us know.
Regards
Jason.

XML CLOB out from a stored procedure

I'm using Oracle 8.1.7 and OO4O(Oracle Objects for OLE)
8.1.7.0.1
I'm generating an XML string in a CLOB using the XSU in a stored
procedure.
I'm then trying to pass the CLOB as an out parameter for that
procedure to an
ASP page using OO4O. I get the following error on the line
where I call the ExecuteSql
method of the OO4O Database object:
Error Type:
Oracle Automation (0x800A01B8)
OIP-04796: Error in creating object instance
If anyone can give me a a solution to this or a better way to
do it I would much appreciate it. I've tried using a function
as well.
It does work if the CLOB is pulled from a database field, so I
think
the problem lies in the CLOB coming from the getXML method.
Since I'm
creating and XML datagram from relational tables, it doesn't
make much
sense to save the generated XML to a CLOB field and then load it
right
back to pass to the web page.
Thanks in advance...
Here's my code for the stored procedure:
Procedure SP_INI_XML
(result OUT CLOB)
IS
queryCtx SYS.DBMS_XMLQuery.ctxType;
begin
queryCtx := SYS.DBMS_XMLQuery.newContext(... SQL
statement ...);
SYS.DBMS_XMLQuery.setRowTag(queryCtx,'INI');
SYS.DBMS_XMLQuery.setRowsetTag(queryCtx,'ROOT');
SYS.DBMS_XMLQuery.setXSLT(queryCtx, 'http://site/file.xsl');
result := SYS.DBMS_XMLQuery.getXML(queryCtx);
SYS.DBMS_XMLQuery.closeContext(queryCtx);
end;
Here's my code from the ASP page:
Set ses = Server.CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
Set con = ses.OpenDatabase(DBServer,ConStr,0)
Const ORATYPE_CLOB = 112
con.Parameters.Add "str",Null,2,ORATYPE_CLOB
con.ExecuteSql("begin SP_INI_XML(:str);end;")

Ah yes I see. Sorry I misunderstood what you were suggesting. I'm currently working on a test script that uses an approach similar to the one you mentioned, but I'm having trouble resolving foreign key relationships with test data.
I've no access to the tables or anything so it's proving to be a time consuming task!!
Is it required that all fields are given a value, even if they have a "DEFAULT" defined for them within the procedure. At the moment I'm using a rather cumbersome approach to this:
i.e.
With cmmAddRequest
    .ActiveConnection = strConnect
    .CommandType = adCmdText
    .CommandText = strSQL
    .Parameters(0).Direction = adParamInput
    .Parameters(1).Direction = adParamInput
    .Parameters(2).Direction = adParamInput
    .Parameters(3).Direction = adParamOutput
    .Parameters(4).Direction = adParamOutput
    .Parameters(5).Direction = adParamOutput
    .Parameters(0).Value = "COMP"
    .Parameters(1).Value = "FRML"
    .Parameters(2).Value = "1"
    .Execute
    WScript.Echo(.Parameters(5).Value)
End With

Problem with IN OUT parameters whiloe calling procedure from Form 6i

Hi
Could some help please? I have the following scenario.
I am calling a stored procedure from form 6i by pressing a button on the form. Procedure has two IN OUT parameters, and I am passing these two IN OUT parameters and have declared them the way they are declared passed to the procedure. But I get an error when calling that procedure with these IN OUT parameters. the procedure works fine if parameters are IN only. The error says:
PLS:00363: Expression '1' cannot be used as an assigment target.
NO matter I pass some value or leave it blank, I get the same error message persistenetly.
Please help.
Thanks

make sure you are calling your procedure with variables as parameters,
i.e.
      l_v1 := 1 ;
      l_v2 := 'hello world' ;
      your_proc(l_v1, l_v2)
not
      your_proc(1,'hello world')

Get out values from stored procedure

Hi folks,
I have need of an aid. I have created this stored procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ProceduraDiProva (
p_val1 IN NUMBER DEFAULT 1,
p_val2 IN NUMBER DEFAULT 1,
p_val3 OUT NUMBER,
p_val4 OUT NUMBER)
AS
BEGIN
p_val3 := p_val1 + p_val2;
p_val4 := 999;
END ProceduraDiProva;
I call the procedure into shell script
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s user/pwd@oracleid > oracle.log << END
spool ciccio.txt
declare
var a_out number;
var b_out number;
begin
var a_out:=0;
exec ProceduraDiProva(1, 2, a_out, b_out);
end;
spool off;
exit
END
I would know as I make to insert 'a_out' and 'b_out' in a shell variables
Tanks in advance

I found an example with windows
Create a file cmd with;
FOR /F "usebackq delims=!" %%i IN (`sqlplus -s %usuario%/%pwd%@%ddbb% @1.sql`) DO set xresult=%%i
echo %xresult%
And the 1.sql:
set timing off
set feedback off
set pages 0
select sysdate from dual;
exit

Cannot get OUT parameter from stored procedure

Hi,
I am new to stored procedure programming. I wrote a simple java stored procedure as follows:
package fvt;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
public class FVTProcedures
extends COM.ibm.db2.app.StoredProc {
public void addRecord(int id, String name, int status)
throws SQLException {
java.sql.Statement stmt = null;
java.sql.Connection con = null;
PrintWriter pw = null;
try {
status =3;
pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("c:/temp/fvtproc.txt"));
pw.println("starting...");
// get connection
con =getConnection();
pw.println("Got connection");
stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.execute("INSERT INTO cmtest (id, name) values (" + id + ",'"+name+"')");
pw.println("Inserted the record");
if (!con.getAutoCommit()) {
con.commit();
pw.println("Committed the connection");
catch (SQLException sqle) {
pw.println(sqle.getMessage());
catch (Exception e) {
pw.println(e.getMessage());
finally {
status =2;
pw.close();
try {
if (stmt != null) {
stmt.close();
catch (SQLException sqle) {}
try {
if (con != null) {
con.close();
catch (SQLException sqle) {}
Then I use the following sql command to create this stored procedure, especially register status as OUT parameter.
CREATE PROCEDURE addRecord (IN id INT, IN name VARCHAR(20), OUT status INTEGER)
FENCED LANGUAGE JAVA EXTERNAL NAME 'fvt.FVTProcedures!addRecord' PARAMETER
STYLE DB2GENERAL

          try {
               dt.test();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace(System.out);
     public CallableStmtTest() {
          ds = new COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource();
          ds.setUser("username");
          ds.setPassword("password");
          ds.setDatabaseName("database");
public void test() {
java.sql.Connection conn = null;
CallableStatement cs = null;
String sql = "CALL ADDRECORD(?, ?, ?)" ;
try {
conn = ds.getPooledConnection().getConnection();
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
System.out.println("Got the connection");
cs = conn.prepareCall( sql ) ; /* con is the connection */
System.out.println("Callable statement is prepared");
cs.registerOutParameter(3, java.sql.Types.INTEGER);
cs.setInt(1, 1001 );
cs.setString(2, "1001");
cs.execute() ;
System.out.println("Callable statement is executed, return status: "+cs.getInt(3));
conn.commit();
catch(SQLException sqle) {
sqle.printStackTrace();
finally {
try {
if (cs!=null) {cs.close();}
catch (SQLException sqle1) {
try {
if (conn!=null) {conn.close();}
catch (SQLException sqle1) {
However, the out put is always
Callable statement is executed, return status: 0
while i expect to be
Callable statement is executed, return status: 2
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with that?
thansk,
JST

public void addRecord(int id, String name, int status)
throws SQLException {
status =3;In regular java you are never going to see this value (3) outside of that method. Java doesn't work that way.
So unless java inside the DB works really differently from regular java, you are going to have to pass something else.

Oracle supports DATETIME data type.
"DATETIME" data type is stored in "DATE" data type.

Parameters in stored procedure

If I need to call a stored procedure with 6 input parameters and 6 output parameters, how would I do this? Would it look like this?...
cstmt = con.prepareCall("{?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? = CALL MKTDS22B (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)}");
or this?...
cstmt = con.prepareCall("(CALL MKTDS22B (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? ,?))" );
Please help! Thanks!

Version 2 is correct. A parameter to the left of the equals sign is for (the one and only) return code value from the procedure as issued by the return statement.

Arrays as out param on stored procedure causes hang

Hi,
I would like to be able to use an ARRAY to pass data back from a java stored procedure. Calling the stored procedure using jdbc, the procedure hangs. If I change the out param to a VARCHAR, the procedure works fine (although, of course, the size of the data returned is limited).
I defined a varray type:
CREATE TYPE str_array AS VARRAY(100) OF VARCHAR2(255);
I defined the stored procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ob_snapshot(symbol VARCHAR2, start_time DATE, end_time DATE, interval NUMBER, depth NUMBER, output_result IN OUT STR_ARRAY)
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'OBSnapshot.snapshot(java.lang.String, java.sql.Timestamp, java.sql.Timestamp, int, int, oracle.sql.ARRAY[])';
The execute on the CallableStatement never finshes. Any ideas ?
Thanks for the help,

I recommend you declare your iterator as follows :
public class yourApp {
#sql public static iterator Temp1 (...);

CR XI Pass parameters to stored procedure but don't filter returned result set

I have created a stored procedure that takes a begin date and an end date. The returned resultset is what I want in the report, but CR (as it should) filters the results so that the report shows only those records between the begin and end dates.
In short, I don't want the parameters to be used to filter the data returned from the stored proc. Is that possible?

Huh??? You only return data that has been filtered by the SP to CR but you want all of the records?
Filtering is done Server side with SP's, if CR doesn't get the unfiltered data then you have to change it server side.
So first suggestion is to remove the parameters from the SP, then CR can filter or not later on but could potentially return a lot of data. Applying filtering client side in CRD coudl take a while to do, depending on what is in the report....

HELP: Can't Pass Parameters w/Stored Procedure as Data Connection

I'm working on using an existing employment application in PDF format, and I want the form fields to be prepopulated with the user's specific data.
I'd like is so that when a user clicks a link (like www.mysite.com/empapp/empapp.pdf?UserID=5), a dynamic PDF document will open up and that user's data will be populated inside of the form fields by using that user's "UserID" variable/parameter that was passed in the querystring.
I've tried a stored procedure that contains the following select statement:
SELECT * FROM tblEmpApp WHERE UserID = @UserID
I've also tried entering this select statement manually into the box instead of using a stored procedure without success. When I try to use the stored procedure, I receive this error:
Stored procedure "spEmpApp" has non-optional parameters.
How can I set the PDF doc up to populate the form fields based on that passed parameter in the querystring???
******************PLEASE HELP!!!******************

had this same issue. following works for me.
-create a dataconnection to the db with a random query to the table.
-just clone the dataconnection

-change the query attribute to the stored procedure
     oDConn.resolveNode("#command").query.select.value = "exec spEmpApp 'parameter'"
-open the cloned data connection

hi Sharon,
if you use a "UNION ALL" instead of a union does that give you better performance?

Not prompting for the parameters of stored procedures while running

Hi All,
I have a stored proc which takes in 3 parameters and execute a copy of a record in a table based on the 3 parameters which I pass in.
When I use the proc in crystal reports (Crystal Reports 2008), it is not prompting for the parameter values if we execute the report directly. It's prompting the values only when I do 'Veriyf Database' from the menu. Why is it not prompting for values when executing directly. Am I missing anything here?
Also, I have a C# .net project which uses the report and take in input parameters. Even there, previously, I used to call the VerifyDatabase () first and then the SetParameterValues () which was working fine for regular expressions. But for this report (which uses stored procedure), it is not giving the desired output (copying data), even though the report doesn't fail to run. But when I changed the order of the call to have SetParameterValues () before the call to VerifyDatabase (), it works fine (copies the data for the given input parameters).
Please let me know what is missing here? Is the order of the call to VerifyDatabase () and SetParameterValues () matters? If so, why is it working for regular expressions and not for stored procs?
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Siva.

I recommend posting this to the Crystal Reports Design forum. As I read it:

The issue is in the CR designer 1st. So it needs to be resolved there before moving on to the CR SDK in .NET.
