Multi-Value Parameters to Oracle Stored Procedures via SQL Commands

Hi,
When you used stored procedure in CR, you need to declare REF CURSOR, This type of cursor is a dynamic cursor not a static cursor. Hence, you are able to manipulate dataset in this type of cursor.
Regards,
Titanium0203

As far as I know the documentation on CR & stored procedures says that the REF CURSOR has to be a strongly bound one.
Could you go into a little more detail? Do you mean I should put a multi-valued parameter into a REF CURSOR? Can you post some code snippets here?

Would like to pass multi-value parameter to a stored procedure

Hi,
Is it possible to pass a multi-value parameter to a stored procedure using crystal reports.
Is there is a way to do so??/
Thanks,
Brian.

Hi,
Is it that you want to pass 2 or more parameters to a stored proc. it is possible
go to database expert
select your connection and click on add command their you will have to create parameters and pass to a proc
for ref..
{CALL `menagerie`.`sp_timer`({?delay time},{?delay time2})}
where `menagerie`.`sp_timer` is a stored proc.
and delay time and delay time2 are parameters.
but if it is like you have to pass multiple values to stored proc using single parameter as per my experience its
not possible.

Passing Multi-Value Parameter to a Stored Procedure

Has anyone experienced passing a Parameter (MultiValue) to a Stored Procedure? I am aware that Crystal Passes the Param as an Array. How would you go about handling this within a Stored Procedure???

Hi Daniel
Try as below:
1. Create a Crystal report, and add a multi-value parameter.
2. Since the multi-value parameter is treated as an array, create a formula that uses the JOIN function. Create a formula as below:
//Formula: @JoinFormula
Join ({?Multi-value parameter array},";")
====================
NOTE:
In the formula above, a semi-colon (";") is the delimiter.
====================
3. Within the main report, create a subreport based on the stored procedure, and include the parameter to be populated with the multi-value list.
4. Link the Join formula in the main report to the stored procedure parameter in the subreport.
Doing so passes a multi-value parameter to the stored procedure.
Hope this helps!!!!

Can you get values back from a stored procedure via OUTPUT parameters?

Can you get values back from calling a stored procedure via OUTPUT parameters/variables? I call the SP via a SQL statement from a script either in a WF or DF.
I thought I read some reference that DI could not get the values from OUTPUT parameters but I could not find it again (don't know if it is in any of the documentation or referred to in a forum.
I did try a couple of tests but it did not reutrn any values via OUTPUT. But before I give up I thought I'd see if you could and maybe I needed to change something.

This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but I'll point out that, given that you're resorting to a SQL script in the first place, there's no reason you can't also turn the output parameters into a regular result or record set. (The following uses T-SQL, although I think it's pretty generic.)
declare @param1 int, param2 varchar(100), @return int;
exec @return = proc @param1 = @param1 output, @param2 = @param2 output;
select @param1 as param1, @param2 as param2;
That is, to get from output parameters to a "regular" output from the SQL script isn't much of a leap...

Passing DATE parameters to Oracle Stored Procedures using ADO

Does anyone know how can I pass a date parameter to an Oracle
Stored Procedure? The IN parameter of the procedure is of type
DATE and the ADO parameter is of type DBDate (I've tried Date
and DBTimeStamp,too). The execution freezes at "Cmd.Execute".
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanx for any tips

Passing parameters to oracle stored procedure in business objects universe

Hello,
Wanted to create a web intelligence usind oracle stored procedure.
Create the following SP
create or replace procedure proc_name1
    proc_freq in number,
    proc_cur1 in out sys_refcursor
as
begin
    INSERT INTO
            cc    VALUES
            ( 'Frequency Value = ' || proc_freq, SYSDATE) ;
    COMMIT ;
    --daily
        if(proc_freq = 2) then
        open proc_cur1 for SELECT
                    EVENT_DATE
                FROM rqm_mapsigng_dly_stats;
        end if;
end;
tried using the above SP in universe, it is needed to pass the parameter for proc_freq, when i pass value 2 , in oracle it is passed as 0(is being traced in rqm_checkpoint table)
Hence the table cannot be inserted in the universe.
Can anyone tell why the value is not being passed correctly

I believe when you're doing it with an insert, you're saying "execute this insert statement a bunch of times, here's all the values in advance", which is different than passing an array to a stored procedure where you want it to execute once.
Oracle's ODBC driver doesnt support Associative Arrays (aka index-by tables).
Hope it helps,

CR XI - Pass a Multi-value Parameter to a Stored Procedure

Hello,
Here is my problem !
My Main Report accept a Multi-value Parameter "myParameter".
I create a formula "lstParameter" (Join({?myParameter},',') linked to my SubReport (string static parameter based on a Stored Procedure which returns a RefCursor (ORACLE)).
When I launch the Main Report, he is blank...but if I open the subreport in the overview i can see the result...
it seems like the MainReport don't call the SubReport, or something like that...
I hope you can help me !

Passing Ref Cursor to Oracle Stored Procedure Via C#

Hi all,
I am new to oracle and stuck with an issue. I have three insert stored procedures for three different tables. Two of them have multiple rows to be inserted, which is currently done via iterating through each row and insert to db in C# code. My requirement is to merge these three procedures in one and instead of iterating from C# code send table rows as (ref cursor or collection) to procedure and the procedure will handle the rest.
I read that ref cursor only works if you're data is in database as it reference the memory but in my case data is build on client side.
I am using Oracle 11i and ASP.Net 2.0
Can any help me on this please?

How is the procedure to determine the target table to insert the data into? And please - no dynamic SQL as that is 99% of the time wrong.
A ref cursor is something that PL/SQL creates - with the purpose of passing the cursor handle to your code. This enables the actual SQL statement for that cursor to be moved from client code, into a PL/SQL stored proc. It abstracts the client from having to understand SQL, understand the data model and so on. All clients use the same PL/SQL proc and thus the same code for creating that cursor. Thus no issue of some clients getting it half right or half wrong and dealing with data inconsistencies between clients.
The PL/SQL proc can be tuned and optimised, modified for catering for data model changes and so on. Without your client code having to be even recompiled as it is isolated against these server changes.
For all other interaction (running PL/SQL code, doing insert/update/delete/etc SQL statements), you need to create the cursor yourself in your code.
Also, the SQL engine only sees cursors. There are no differences between cursors. The client (e.g. PL/SQL) can call it a reference cursor, or an implicit cursor, or a DBMS_SQL cursor.. the SQL engine does not know that and does not care.
A ref cursor is simply a special type of client interface to a SQL cursor, allowing PL/SQL to create that SQL cursor and then pass the handle of that SQL cursor to other code to consume that cursor.
Okay, so if you want to insert data, you need in your code to create a cursor. This can be a SQL INSERT cursor - the actual insert statement. Or it can be a PL/SQL call - an anonymous PL/SQL code block that calls a stored proc that performs the insert (after applying validation and business logic).
The cursor will have one or more bind variables. Your client will pass values for these variables and the server-side code (SQL or PL/SQL) will be executed using this as variable data.
You can for example create a cursor as follows:
begin
DoFunkyInsert( :1, :2, :3 );
end;
{code}
3 bind variables are expected. You can now in the client build an array for each of these variables, containing a 100 values each (total of a 100 rows to insert). Do a single execute of the cursor, and tell Oracle that the bind is actually a 100 element array.
The complete array ships to Oracle - Oracle opens a loop and execute the cursor for each element in the array.
This is called bulk binding.
An alternative approach is to define the bind variable as a collection (a non-scalar value). And then code the PL/SQL procedure to open a loop and iterate through the collection/array, inserting a row per iteration.
The binding itself is more complex as your code know needs to understand Oracle object types and be able to define an array/collection that is a valid Oracle non-scalar data type.
The +Oracle Call Interface+ (OCI) is quite flexible in this regard. However, as you work via an abstraction layer (e.g. ADO, OleDB, ODBC, etc) your code is subject to whatever functionality this abstraction layer makes available to your code. And this is seldom includes all the power, functionality and flexibility of the (more complex) OCI itself.

Executing an oracle stored procedure in xMII 11.5

Dear all,
      I am facing problem executing an oracle stored procedure using sql query in MII. The SP does not have any input or output parameters & consists of only 2 insert statements. I tried to use Command Mode, FixedQuery & FixedQuery With output mode, but the SP doesn't run.
This is the error i get when i use :
execute InsertTest or exec InsertTest - A SQL Error has occurred on query, ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
I read in one of the posts to use 'CALL' instead of 'exec' or 'execute'. Even with this i get error which states:
A SQL Error has occurred on query, ORA-06576: not a valid function or procedure name
The syntax i used is CALL InsertTest - 'InsertTest' is the SP name.
I also checked Sam's comment in one of the posts about jdbc driver. We are using oracle 9i, so i guess there is no problem with the version of DB.
The stored procedure is working fine in SQL Developer, How else can i invoke the SP in MII?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sushma.

Hi all,
for insert create procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE MII_TEST_INSUPD
(ID_IN IN NUMBER,
NAME_IN IN VARCHAR2)
IS
BEGIN
-- UPDATE ROW
UPDATE TEST SET
          NAME = NAME_IN
WHERE
          ID = ID_IN;
-- NOT RETURN INSERT NEW LINE IN TABLE
IF SQL%ROWCOUNT = 0 THEN
     INSERT INTO TEST (ID, NAME) VALUES (ID_IN, NAME_IN);
END IF;
END;
In MII you create a query template
Mode - Command
FixedQuery - insert the code below
CALL MII_TEST_INSUPD ([Param.1],'[Param.2]')
for returns the grid using procedures in oracle you need create a package on oracle server
CREATE PACKAGE PKG_test IS
TYPE cursortype is ref cursor;
PROCEDURE test (mycursor in out cursortype);
END PKG_test;
CREATE PACKAGE BODY PKG_test IS
PROCEDURE test (mycursor in out cursortype) AS
BEGIN
     open mycursor for select * from test;
END;
END PKG_test;
In MII you create a query template
Mode - FixedQueryWithOutput
FixedQuery - insert the code below
CALL PKG_TEST.TEST(?)

How in ColdFusion with in variables get a Oracle stored procedure to return values?

How in ColdFusion with in variables get a Oracle stored procedure to return values?
We have tried several things, we can get a stored procedure to return a result set if we are not passing in variables but we cannot get them when we are passing in variables.
We know how to do it calling MS SQL.
Thanks for any help,
Nathan Sr
P.S. we have heard this may not be possible with the current Oracle Driver is there a different Oracle driver?

I can only barely understand what you're asking here (not from a technical perspective, but from understanding your written English), but I suspect you're wanting to know how to pass back values other than recordsets from Oracle?
You should be able to pass them back via a type=out proc param, shouldn't you?
If you could reword your post so it's a bit more coherent, and possibly post some code, that might help.

How to Pass parameters to Crystal report 10 based on Oracle Stored Procedur

Hi,
I use the following code to pass the parameters:
Rep.Tables[0].ConnectBuffer := Connection_Str;
Rep.Tables[0].AliasName := 'REP';
Rep.Connect.Propagate := True;
Rep.ParamFields.ByName('Lang', '').CurrentValue := IIF(BiDiMode = bdRightToLeft, '2', '1');
Rep.ParamFields.ByName('SESSION_ID', '').CurrentValue := IntToStr(Session_id);
Rep.WindowState := wsMaximized;
Rep.Show;
The 1st parameter 'Lang' which created from crystal report pass well,
but the 2nd parameter 'SESSION_ID' which created from Oracle Stored Procedures give the following Error:
Error: 202 Parameter Name could not be found u2013 ParamFields.ByName
However in MS SQL Server the above code work fine with the 2 Parameters.
Any one has solution,

Hello,
Click on the businessobjects Tab above and then select Samples and dowload the sample app you for your SDK. There are a few samples for changing/setting Parameters.
The Parameter collection has all parameters.

In addition
The steps are:
1)     Create oracle package and stored proc.
2)     In CR Designer, select the stored proc as datasource.
3)     The parameters names were "generated" by the CR Designer.
4)     Rename the parameter names.
5)     Drag the fields onto report.
We noticed the following with different setting of database logon info:
When previewing from BOE, get error when "Use custom database logon information specified here"
However, no error when "Use original database logon information from the report".
Am i missing something?
