Modifying a function in a package...

I have a function as part of a package and need to modify the function's body. Do I have to run the entire package script after making the modification or is there a way to just modify the body of the specific function and make the updated function part of the current package?
Thanks.

if you are just changing the body of the function, not it's declaration (parameters, return, etc), then just change the package body as needed, and recompile the body. no need to recompile the package spec.
if you are adding a function that you want included in the spec (to be callable), or are changing the function declaration (adding more input parameters), then you will also need to change and compile the spec.

How to use the Table Function defined in package in OWB?

Hi,
I defined a table function in a package. I am trying to use that in owb using Table function operator. But I came to know that, owb R1 supports only standalone table functions.
Is there any other way to use the table function defined in a package. As like we create synonyms for functions, is there any other way to do this.
I tryed to create synonyms, it is created. But it is showing compilation error. Finally I found that, we can't create synonyms for functions which are defined in packages.
Any one can explain it, how to resolve this problem.
Thank you,
Regards
Gowtham Sen.

Hi Marcos,
Thank you for reply.
OWB R1 supports stand alone table functions. Here what I mean is, the table fucntion which is not inculded in any package is a stand alone table function.
for example say sample_tbl_fn is a table function. It is defined as a function.It is a stand alone function. We call this fucntion as "samp_tbl_fn()";
For exampe say sample_pkg is a package. say a function is defined in a package.
then we call that function as sample_pkg.functionname(); This is not a stand alone function.
I hope you understand it.
owb supports stand alone functions.
Here I would like to know, is there any other way to use the functions which are defined in package. While I am trying to use those functions (which are defined in package -- giving the name as packagename.functionname) it is throwing an error "Invalid object name."
Here I would like know, is there any other way to use the table functions which are defined in a package.
Thank you,

Problem when calling a return type BOOLEAN SQL Function in a package

Hi All,
I am having problem when trying to call a SQL function in a package with return type BOOLEAN
The SQL function signature is as follows
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE RMSOWNER.ORDER_ATTRIB_SQL ****
FUNCTION GET_PO_TYPE_DESC(O_error_message IN OUT VARCHAR2,
I_PO_TYPE       IN     VARCHAR2,
O_PO_TYPE_DESC IN OUT VARCHAR2)
RETURN BOOLEAN;
Following is my java code
+CallableStatement cs3 = conn.prepareCall("{?=call ORDER_ATTRIB_SQL.GET_PO_TYPE_DESC(?,?,?)}");+
+cs3.registerOutParameter(1, java.sql.Types.BOOLEAN);+
+cs3.registerOutParameter(2, java.sql.Types.VARCHAR);+
+cs3.registerOutParameter(4, java.sql.Types.VARCHAR);+
+cs3.setString(2, "");+
+cs3.setString(3, "ST");+
+cs3.setString(4, "");+
+ResultSet rs3 = cs3.executeQuery();+
I get the following exception, i tried changing the sql type(registerOutParameter) from boolean to bit but i still getting this exception.
But when i call any other functions with return type other than boolean they work perfectly fine.
Please can anyone help me fix this issue, i am not sure if its anything to do with vendor JDBC classes?

Hello People!
There is another workaround!!
See the example below:

               cs.close();
               cs = null;
               return retorno;
As you can see the CallableStatement class acepts PL/SQl blocks.

I can access a function in a package using OCI drivers but not PDO drivers

Hello all, i am a newbie to Oracle and its drivers for PHP. I would like to use PDO, and I have my database activity in packages, which have procedures and functions. My package has overloaded functions and that has been giving me a tough time with these drivers. So one signature of my function get_data contains a four arguments and all four are numbers, while another signature of get_data has the first two as numbers and the next two as varchar2. So when I try to access this function which is part of a package, I am able to retrieve data, and the driver I am using is OCI8, but when I try to do the same with PDO, it does not work. It gives me this error,
*General error: 6553 OCIStmtExecute: ORA-06553: PLS-307: too many declarations of 'GET_DATA' match this call (/var/www/php-5.3.3/ext/pdo_oci/oci_statement.c:146)' in /var/www/pdo_check.php:251 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/pdo_check.php(251): PDOStatement->execute() #1 /var/www/pdo_check.php(345): dbPDO->execPackage2() #2 {main} thrown in /var/www/pdo_check.php on line 251 *
I got this error earlier with OCI drivers, then I added the datatype while binding the values.
Has anybody had this headache earlier??
##Works
*$qu = oci_parse($connect, 'select pack.get_data(:p1,:p2,:p3,:p4)as rc from dual');

$r = oci_fetch_array($qu);*
##Does not work
*$sql = 'select pack.get_data(:p1,:p2,:p3,:p4) from dual';
$result = $this->dbConnect->prepare($sql);

$p3 = (int)2;
$p4 = (int)6;
$result->bindParam(':p1', $p1, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$result->bindParam(':p2', $p2, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$result->bindParam(':p3', $p3, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$result->bindParam(':p4', $p4, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$result->execute();*
I am still perplexed why is PDO giving me an error, when I have virtually mentioned everything is asks for?

I think the only person who can really answer this question is Chris Jones. For my money I tend to steer clear of PDO as it is a bit quirky ( at least in my experience ) and it does not support reference cursors.

Can I call a function in another package?

Dear all,
Can I call a function in another package?
Say I have package A, and package B.
Is it possible for me to call a function in inside package A, within a function inside package B?
If yes, what's the syntax.
Thanks in advance!

The variable in the calling package that will receive the value of the function in the other package needs to be defined based on that type in the other package directly:
sql>create or replace package pkg_a
2 is
3    type testTable is table of varchar2(10) index by binary_integer;
4
5    function f_a return testTable;
6 end;
7 /
Package created.
sql>create or replace package body pkg_a
2 is
3    function f_a
4      return testTable
5    is
6      v_table testTable;
7    begin
8      v_table(1) := 'One';
9      v_table(2) := 'Two';
10      return v_table;

How can I compile all functions, procedures and packages with a script?

I need to compile all functions, procedures and packages of 5 schemas (users) with a script.
How can I do it?
Thanks!

you can create a script to select all invalid objects in those schemas Since Oracle 8 introduced NDS this approach has struck me as a trifle old fashioned. It's much simpler to loop round the query in PL/SQL and use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to fire off the DDL statements. No scripts, no muss, no fuss.
Having said that, the problem with this approach and also with using DBMS_UTILITY.COMPILE_SCHEMA is that they do not compile all the invalid objects in dependency order. This may result in programs being invalidated by the subsequent compilation of dependencies. This is due to the introduction of Java into the database.
The UTLRP script is much better, because it (usually) avoids cyclic references. But you still may need to run it more than once.
In general it is better to avoid sledgehammer recompilations (like DBMS_UTILITY.COMPILE_SCHEMA, which starts by invalidating all the objects). If we have twenty invalid objects, nineteen of which are dependencies of the twentieth, we actually only need to recompile the master object, as recompiling it will trigger the recompilation of all the others.

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 !

Call a function inside a package from a stored procedure

Hello:
I am kind of new to the stored procedure. Does anyone know how to call a function inside a package from another stored procedure?
I have a existing function (func_b) inside a package (pack_a) and it returns a cursor. I want to call this function from a stored procedure (proc_c) so that I use the data inside the cursor.
can I do the following in proc_c:
my_cursor1 SYS_REFCURSOR;
begin
my_cursor1 := exec pack_a.func_b
end
It will be very helpful if anyone can point me to any reading or example. Thank you very much for your information.

guys:
Thank you for your information so far. I need some more help here. I was able to run the function in my stored procedure. However, I was not able to print the result on the screen to view the cursor result, although I am using dbms_output.put_line statement inside my stored procedure.

DECLARE TEMP VARCHAR2(100);

I tried to use 'set serveroutput on' and got the following error:

Custom aggregate function inside a package.

Hi there,
I'm trying to write a custom aggregate function and group that function inside a package together with some other functions that I have. As an example (to simulate the problem I have) suppose my custom aggregation to do a summation of numbers looks like:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE AS OBJECT (
summation NUMBER,
STATIC FUNCTION ODCIAggregateInitialize(agg_context IN OUT
SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE) RETURN NUMBER,
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE,
next_number IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER,
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE,
para_context IN SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE) RETURN NUMBER,
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE,
return_value OUT NUMBER, flags IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE IS
STATIC FUNCTION ODCIAggregateInitialize(agg_context IN OUT
SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE)
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
agg_context := SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE(NULL);
RETURN ODCIConst.Success;
END;
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateIterate(self IN OUT SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE,
next_number IN NUMBER)
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
IF self.summation IS NULL THEN
self.summation := next_number;
ELSIF summation IS NOT NULL THEN
self.summation := self.summation + next_number;
END IF;
RETURN ODCIConst.Success;
END;
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateMerge(self IN OUT SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE,
para_context IN SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE)
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
self.summation := self.summation + para_context.summation;
RETURN ODCIConst.Success;
END;
MEMBER FUNCTION ODCIAggregateTerminate(self IN SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE,
return_value OUT NUMBER, flags IN NUMBER)
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
return_value := self.summation;
return ODCIConst.Success;
END;
END;
If I write the following function definition:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION MY_SUM(input NUMBER)
RETURN NUMBER PARALLEL_ENABLE AGGREGATE USING SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE;
and corresponding type declaration to test:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE VECTOR
IS
TABLE OF NUMBER;
this statement:
select my_sum(column_value) from table(vector(1, 2, 1, 45, 22, -1));
gives the correct result of 70. However, creating a package with the function definition:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE MY_FUNCTIONS AS
FUNCTION MY_SUM(input NUMBER)
RETURN NUMBER PARALLEL_ENABLE AGGREGATE USING SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE;
END;
and calling it via:
select MY_FUNCTIONS.my_sum(column_value) from table(vector(1, 2, 1, 45, 22, -1));
explodes with:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17090], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
Is it possible to have custom aggregate functions nested inside package declarations?
I'm using Oracle 11g, Release 2 (11.2.0.1.0).

HiddenName wrote:
Is it possible to have custom aggregate functions nested inside package declarations?Yes, it is possible, you have succesfuly created your function. Your problem is that the database throws ORA-600 on execute. And with ORA-600 you can do 2 things: 1) google ORA-600 17090 or 2) contact your Oracle Support.
You could also try to declare the function without PARALLEL_ENABLE - just to try to see if it changes anything. You can also try to call your function against a regular table with rows and columns - not against an collection type with table() operator.
Anyway - these 2 tests should be usefull for Oracle Support.
I never tried to put a custom aggregate function into a package. First - the cases when you need a custom aggregate function to be written for your system are very rare. Second - even if I needed 1 then I never needed 2 or more custom aggregate functions on my system. And as I do not like to make my life more complex than necessary, I have created it as a stand-alone function. And it is works (slowly).I tried using a standard table as you suggested:
CREATE TABLE TEST_DATA
test_value NUMBER
INSERT INTO TEST_DATA
(SELECT column_value test_value from TABLE(vector(1, 2, 1, 45, 22, -1)));
COMMIT;
select my_sum(test_value) from test_data;
select my_functions.my_sum(test_value) from test_data;
I also tried removing the PARALLEL_ENABLE clause to create the package as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE MY_FUNCTIONS AS
FUNCTION MY_SUM(input NUMBER)
RETURN NUMBER AGGREGATE USING SUM_AGGREGATOR_TYPE;
END;
And unfortunately it still breaks with the following error: SQL Error: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17090]. This looks like an Oracle bug to me as the PL/SQL parsing engine should have disallowed me to even create this if it is not supported in Oracle. Instead, it allows me to create the package, and breaks when I call the function with this weird error (additionally cutting my connection from the database) instead of disallowing me to do this altogether and printing a nice error message telling me that Oracle doesn't support this. How would I go about logging a ticket for this?

How do I view a FUNCTION within a Package Body

I can see the FUNCTION being executed within the Package...
FUNCTION Stop_Refresh_AsBilled
RETURN Number;
And within Oracle SQL Developer and using the Connection and "Packages" part of the Schema, I see the Function Name. However, when I <Double-Click> on the FUNCTION Name within the Schema, it is taking me to where the FUNCTION is executed within the Package and NOT to the PL/SQL Code that actually makes up the FUNCTION.
Am I missing something here??? Maybe in my Preferences??? How can I drill down further to actually find the FUNCTION Definition and PL/SQL Code that makes up the FUNCTION within the Package Body???
I can bring up the Package Body and Search on the FUNCTION that way. I'm hoping there is an easier way however to drill down to the actual PL/SQL Code that makes up the FUNCTION.
I hope I am being clear in my explanation here.
Thanks for your review and I am hopeful for a reply.

Jim, opening the body node to see all functions and procedures sometimes does not work in 3.0
I have many packages generated by Feuerstien's CodeGen utility. The Query package appears just fine with every function and procedure appearing as expected in both header and body nodes. However, the Change Package fails miserably. Header shows all functions and procedures fine, but the body node only shows the top private declarations of variables and types. Not one function or procedure appears in the expanded node.
The only thing I can figure is that the Change package of about 30 named items has many of the same name+ with overloaded parameters. I think SQL Dev is having problems parsing the names in the body even though it does fine with the names in the header of the package--perhaps because of many private variables and PRAGMA's declared at the top of the body.
Both packages have about 30 functions, but the Change package body has over 2000 lines while the Query package has fewer than 500.
Just adding to the mystery--but I think it merits a bug report (gotta figure out where to report it now).

Invoke a function in a package

I need to call a function in a package that will return back to
me the database I am connected to
The package and function is called :p_common.sf_get_dbname
CallableStatement getDBName=null;
ResultSet rs2=null;
         try
              ggetDBName = con.prepareCall("{call ? := P_COMMON.SF_GET_DBNAME()}");
               getDBName.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
               getDBName.execute();
               rs2 = (ResultSet) getPxCcy.getObject(1);
               String db = rs2.getString(1);
               logger.info("DB connected to is " + db);
I am not getting the correct dbname? is the above way to do the correct way?

Thanks.You cant grant access to a portion (In your case a function) of a package. You need to grant access to the entire package.

Where can I see functions prototype in package wwv_name_value ?

Hi,
I'm interested to see function prototypes from packages wwv_name_value, wwv_standard_util, wwv_lang and others.
How is it possible ?
I used wwv_name_value.get_string function in Advanced PL/SQL window (following a given example), but in the future maybe I'll find other usefull functions which I would like to use...
I'm working with WebDB 2.1.
Thanks:
Szilard

Hi,
You can see public apis at this location.
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/plsql/doc/astart.htm
For wwv_name goto the preference APIS.
For wwv_lang goto national language APIS
Thanks,
Sharmila
