New to Oracle - Stored Procedure Question

All I want to do is create a stored procedure that returns rows of data from the database. All that I have read says that you use a function for this in Oracle, but all the samples I've seen only returns a single value.
Can anyone provide a sample for returning rows of data to the client (Visual Basic in my case).
Thanks.

I'm not sure why you had to use a procedure to return rows, but if your objective is to return rows based on joins of tables, why not use views?
If you have to pass parameters, then that's another story. Sorry!!!

Passing data from Oracle stored procedures to Java

We're going to write a new web interface for a big system based on Oracle database. All business rules are already coded in PL/SQL stored procedures and we'd like to reuse as much code as possible. We'll write some new stored procedures that will combine the existing business rules and return the final result dataset.
We want to do this on the database level to avoid java-db round trips. The interface layer will be written in Java (we'd like to use GWT), so we need a way of passing data from Oracle stored procedures to Java service side. The data can be e.g. a set of properties of a specific item or a list of items fulfilling certain criteria. Would anyone recommend a preferable way of doing this?
We're considering one of the 2 following scenarios:
passing objects and lists of objects (DB object types defined on the schema level)
passing a sys_refcursor
We verified that both approaches are "doable", the question is more about design decision, best practice, possible maintenance problems, flexibility, etc.
I'd appreciate any hints.

I'd appreciate any hints.If logic is already written in DB, and the only concern is of passing the result to java service side, and also from point of maintenance problem and flexibility i would suggest to use the sys_refcursor.
The reason if Down the line any thing changes then you only need to change the arguments of sys_refcursor in DB and as well as java side, and it is much easier and less efforts compare to using and changes required for Types and Objects on DB and java side.
The design and best practise keeps changing based on our requirement and exisiting design. But by looking at your current senario and design, i personally suggest to go with sys_refcursor.

Help with Data service built on a Oracle Stored Procedure

Hi Friends,
I am absolutely new to ALDSP and I have created a data service on a Oracle stored procedure. Working with ALDSP 2.5.
The dataservice is working fine as it is retrieving the data from the database by calling the stored procedure. the signature of the procedure is as follows :
sp_get_rpt(commID IN number,hier1 IN varchar2,hier2 IN varchar2,ref_cur Ref_cursor)
Query 1>>
When i executed the data service, realised that it is considering only the first parameter as compulsary. Even i do not enter the remaining parameters the SP is being
called.
Is there any way I can control the input parameters, in the sense that specify in the data service itself which parameter is compulsary and which one is not(could be nullable) ?
Query 2>>
The same case with the output that is returned by the sp, I have defined it as a XML schema. as the output of the sp is
a ref cursor.
the output returned by the sp, may have some fields as Null, but this is not being accepted by the o/p schema that I have defined in ALDSP.
Please let me know how I can make some fields nullable in the o/p schema too so that the result set is returned even if some fields are null.
-Thanks

In DSP 2.5, there are no provisions for passing null parameters via the client API. You can pass a null parameter when calling one data service function from another data service function by passing a empty element (i.e. $CUSTOMER/MIDDLE_NAME where this particular CUSTOMER doesn't have a MIDDLE_NAME) or by passing an empty sequence (). The function argument must be defined as occuring zero or one times (i.e. $myArg as xs:string? ) the question mark indicates zero or one occurrences.
Use the same notation to indicate that OUT args are optional.
For returned rowsets with optional columns, indicate this with minOccurs="0" in your schema.
I'm thinking that DSP does not handle ref_cursor arguments - but hey, if you tried it and it works, I won't argue.
In DSP 2.5, you will need a patch from CR346161 to pass null Date (date) or TimeStamp (dateTime) elements to an Oracle stored procedure. Contact customer support if you need this patch.

SSRS with Oracle Stored Procedures, Functions and Packages

Hi,
I am working on a BI project. Here we are using PowerPivot to access data from Oracle DB and generate reports. Currently Client generates Few reports using Oracle Stored Procedures, Functions and Packages. We need to move everything to PowerPivot, so
that user can generate all reports using same platform. But PowerPivot doesn'e support Oracle Stored Procedures, Functions and Packages. So we have decided to try those reports using SSRS.
I have no knowledge about using SSRS which will call Oracle function/stored procedures/packages for generating reports.
Can anybody help me in getting exact steps?
Please let me know if my question is not clear enough.
Thanks and Regards,
SS

Hi Visakh,
Thanks for the detailed steps. My next question is:
Is there any other way to develop such reports without using any development tool like Visual Studio? Our aim is to provide a self-serviced reporting platform where user don't need any technical knowledge.
I am sorry I have no knowledge about SSRS and Oracle DB.Can you please have a look at my Oracle function and let me know whether it's possible to execute this using SSRS? (I am pasting one by one as there is a character limit.

BO v5.1 - creating a report from an oracle stored procedure

Post Author: newrochelle
CA Forum: Publishing
hi to all,
im using BO 5.1 and i need to create a document from an oracle stored procedure that have only one IN parameter and ten OUT parameters.
Creating the new report I selected the database connection then I choose the stored procedure name from the list, I inserted the value for the IN parameter and finally I click on Run button.
I got the following error message:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 38: :PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol
"," when expecting one of the following: : : ( - + case mod
new not null others <an identifier> : <a double-quoted
delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> avg : count current
exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance : execute forall
merge time timestamp interval date : <a string literal with
character set specification> : <a number> <a single-quoted SQL
string> pipe : <an alternatively-quoted string literal with
character set specification> : <an alternatively-q :-6550
it seems to be caused by the OUT parameters!
i leaved them without any value.
it's the first time that I used a stored procedure to create a BO report, but I think the OUT parameters are needed to do that, otherwise what data will be presented in the report???
can you help me?
please answear me ASAP.
Thank's in advance
Regards
Andrea

Hi,
Register your Shell Script as a concurrent program, Executable execution method "Host", then use fnd_request.submit_request to submit the program.

Calling a Oracle stored procedure in orchestrator

I am trying to execute a stored procedure using the query database IP in orchestrator. I can select data from the oracle db so i know the prereqs are setup correctly but it fails on executing the stored procedure.
The syntaxe is execute SPNAME('PARAM!','PARAM2')
The error is
Failed, Oracle failure Database error has occurred. ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
Oracle query failure, please verify your query syntax is correct. Verify correct table names and column names etc...
The SP works fine in sql developer so im pretty sure the syntax is correct unless the Query Database IP needs a different syntax to work.

simple as that. i actually tried something similar since that is how SCOM executes SP but left the execute command in there so it failed and i moved on. thanks for the reply.
Just for reference i went the powershell route and that worked as well but much more complicated then your solution. for anyone that wants to know the script is
$asm = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Data.OracleClient")
$connectionString = "Data Source=TNSNAME;uid=USERID;pwd=PASSWORD";
$inputString1 = "PARAMETER INPUT 1";
$inputString2 = "PARAMETER INPUT 2"
$oracleConnection = new-object System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection($connectionString);
$cmd = new-object System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand;
$cmd.Connection = $oracleConnection;
$cmd.CommandText = "SP NAME";
$cmd.CommandType = [System.Data.CommandType]::StoredProcedure;
$cmd.Parameters.Add("NAME OF EXPECTED PARAMETER 1", [System.Data.OracleClient.OracleType]::NUMBER) | out-null;
$cmd.Parameters["NAME OF EXPECTED PARAMETER 1"].Direction = [System.Data.ParameterDirection]::Input;
$cmd.Parameters["NAME OF EXPECTED PARAMETER 1"].Value = $inputString1;
$cmd.Parameters.Add("NAME OF EXPECTED PARAMETER 2", [System.Data.OracleClient.OracleType]::VARCHAR2) | out-null;
$cmd.Parameters["NAME OF EXPECTED PARAMETER 2"].Direction = [System.Data.ParameterDirection]::Input;
$cmd.Parameters["NAME OF EXPECTED PARAMETER 2"].Value = $inputString2;
$oracleConnection.Open();
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() | out-null;
$oracleConnection.Close();

Call to Oracle stored procedure that returns ref cursor doesn't work

I'm trying to use an OData service operation with Entity Framework to call an Oracle stored procedure that takes an number as an input parameter and returns a ref cursor. The client is javascript so I'm using the rest console to test my endpoints. I have been able to successful call a regular Oracle stored procedure that takes a number parameter but doesn't return anything so I think I have the different component interactions correct. When I try calling the proc that has an ref cursor for the output I get the following an error "Invalid number or type of parameters". Here are my specifics:
App.config
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
<settings>

public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config)
// TODO: set rules to indicate which entity sets and service operations are visible, updatable, etc.
// Examples:

config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("GetWorkOrdersByWindfarmId", ServiceOperationRights.All);
config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("CreateWorkOrder", ServiceOperationRights.All);
config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = DataServiceProtocolVersion.V2;

return this.CurrentDataSource.GetWorkOrdersByWindfarmId(WindfarmId).AsQueryable();
[WebGet]
public void CreateWorkOrder(int WindfarmId)
this.CurrentDataSource.CreateWorkOrder(WindfarmId);
Here is the stored procedure:
procedure GetWorkOrdersByWindFarmId(WINDFARMID IN NUMBER,
P_RESULTS OUT REF_CUR) is
begin
OPEN P_RESULTS FOR
select WINDFARM_ID,
STARTTIME,
ENDTIME,
TURBINE_NUMBER,
NOTES,
TECHNICIAN_NAME
from WORKORDERS
where WINDFARM_ID = WINDFARMID;
end GetWorkOrdersByWindFarmId;
I defined a function import for the stored procedure using the directions I found online by creating a new complex type. I don't know if I should be defining the input parameter, WindfarmId, in my app.config? If I should what would that format look like? I also don't know if I'm invoking the stored procedure correctly in my service operation? I'm testing everything through the rest console because the client consuming this information is written in javascript and expecting a json format. Any help is appreciated!

Making the change you suggested still resulted in the same Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException {"ORA-06550: line 1, column 8:\nPLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GETWORKORDERSBYWINDFARMID'\nORA-06550: line 1, column 8:\nPL/SQL: Statement ignored"} System.Exception {Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException}
I keep thinking it has to do with my oracle.dataaccess.client settings in App.Config because I don't actually put the WindfarmId and an input parameter. I tried a few different ways to do this but can't find the correct format.

JDBC Sender adapter - Oracle - Stored Procedure - Error

Hello,
Need few clarifications on JDBC sender adapter and stored procedures when connecting to Oracle DB.
My scenario is, Oracle to SAPBW. So in sender JDBC adapter, we have used a SP having multiple SQL statements it, esp. one of the SELECT statment having Joins on a table and View.
My questions are,
1) Is it possible to have more SQL statements in SP for Sender JDBC?
2) Is the SP of Oracle DB returns resultset or cursor?
I have tried in searching the forum perticularly for connecting to Oracle as Sender and below like said that there is a limitation of XI JDBC when connecting to Oracle.
Executing an Oracle Stored Procedure from Sender JDBC adapter
So please clarify the doubts and help me.
With regards,

Unlike what was mentioned in the link given by you that oracle returns cursor and not resultset is not completely true. It may be difficult but certainly not impossible.

Error calling Java in Oracle Stored Procedure

I can call a java function inside my Oracle Stored Procedure, but if I reference a class that uses JNI, I get problems. I don't know what forum to post this under. This seems the closest match.
Here is my error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
at AcmeComp.ec.Motor.<init>(Motor.java:35)
at BBOra.runBB(BBOra:13)
Here is my java class, BBOra.java:
import AcmeComp.ec.*;
class BBOra {
static String strCnt;
BBOra() {}
public static void runBB() {
try {
//Motor class is in AcmeComp.ec package
Motor eng = new Motor();
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e);
public static void runNonBB() {
System.out.println("runNonBB works ok.");
From DOS prompt, I loaded ac222ec.jar (has the AcmeComp.ec package) and BBOra.java files into Oracle:
loadjava -u system/manager -resolve -verbose ac222ec.jar.java
loadjava -u system/manager -resolve -verbose BBOra.java
From SQL Plus, I created 2 stored sprocedures:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE runBB
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'BBOra.runBB()';
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE runNonBB
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'BBOra.runNonBB()';
From SQL Plus, I gave myself permissions to load libraries, so I can load ac222ecjni.dll, which has all the Native (C++) code I use:
BEGIN
DBMS_JAVA.GRANT_PERMISSION('SYSTEM',
'java.lang.RuntimePermission',
'loadLibrary.*');
END;
From SQL Plus, I set up my output:
set SERVEROUTPUT ON;
CALL dbms_java.set_output(3000);
From SQL Plus, I called my Stored Procedures:
CALL runNonBB();
CALL runBB();
runNonBB() works great, but runBB() gives me the error I listed above. The Motor class that BBOra calls, itself calls a class NMotor, which has a call:
static {
System.loadLibrary("ac222ecjni");
Unfortunately, I don't know the inner workings of the native code. Does "at AcmeComp.ec.Motor.<init>(Motor.java:35)"? mean JServer was able to see the class "Motor", but not instatiate it? Or did it error trying to create the class "NMotor"?
Here's a snippet of Motor:
package AcmeComp.ec;
public class Motor implements IMotor {
public Motor() {
motor = new NMotor();
some functions
private NMotor motor;
Here's a snippet of NMotor:
package AcmeComp.ec;
class NMotor {
NMotor() {
sunjdk = true;
some native method declarations
private boolean sunjdk;
static {
//ac222ecjni.dll has all the Native (C++) code
System.loadLibrary("ac222ecjni");
PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT. IT IS KILLING ME. I can even look into the USER_OBJECTS view in Oracle and see that ALL of the classes from the ac222ec.jar are present and accounted for.

Man, I guess I figured it out myself. Ten Duke dollars to myself. But, for the sake of anyone who may want to know the answer, here it is:
JServer (or Oracle9i JVM in Oracle 9i) does not support JNI. Here is their (weak) reasoning, taken from "Oracle9i Java Developer's Guide" as found in http://www.csis.gvsu.edu/GeneralInfo/Oracle/java.920/a96656/invokeap.htm#1007948
"Oracle does not support the use of JNI in Oracle9i Java applications. If you use JNI, your application is not 100% pure Java, and the native methods require porting between platforms. Native methods have the potential for crashing the server, violating security, and corrupting data."
Sounds like a fancy way to say they have a limitation--their JVM isn't up to par all the way. If JNI is a feature in Java, why should Oracle decide for me if I should use it? Don't Java methods also have the potential for crashing the server, violating security, and corrupting data? I think they should just provide the functionality you would expect from a VM and let the user decide which functionality to use. In my case, I HAVE to use JNI, so I'd have to use RMI so that a different VM can do the JNI part.
Sounds pretty lame of Oracle, but oh well.

Calling Oracle Stored Procedure from BC4J JSP App

I am on an extremely tight deadline and am trying to get my JSP application to use an Oracle Stored Procedure. I need to take some input from the user and send these values as parameters. Has anyone worked with Stored Procedures in JDev3.1? Please reply with some sample code if possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
Someone posted a similar request the other day. Here is my response to them:
Basically, you need to create a custom method from your JSP's ViewObject, which calls the stored procedure. You can then call the ViewObject's custom method from the JSP client.
Here is how I have done it:
1. Choose the ViewObject that your JSP is based on and choose 'Edit' from the context menu.
2. On the Java tab of the ViewObject wizard, choose Generate Java File checkbox for the View Object Class and click the Finish button. A file is created under the ViewObject node in the Navigator named 'viewobjectImpl.java'.
3. Open the viewobjectImpl.java file in the code editor and create a method to call your stored procedure (see sample code below).
4. Compile the VOImpl.java file.
5. Choose the view object again, and choose Edit again from the context menu.
6. On the Client Methods tab, you should now see your method appear in the Available field. Select it and shuttle it to the Selected field.
7. Click Finish to leave the VO wizard, and rebuild your Business Components project.
8. In your JSP, call the custom method (see sample code below).
sample code for custom method calling a stored procedure from VOImpl.java file:
public int getTotalHits(String mon, String year) {
CallableStatement stmt = null;
int total;
// the call to the PL/SQL stored proc
String totalhits = "{? = call walkthru.total_hits(?,?)}";
// use the AM conxn 2 call storedproc
stmt = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(totalhits, 1);
try
// Bind the Statement Parameters and //Execute this Statement
stmt.registerOutParameter(1,Types.INTEGER);
stmt.setString(2,mon); stmt.setString(3,year);
stmt.execute();
total = stmt.getInt(1);
catch (Exception ex)
throw new oracle.jbo.JboException(ex);
finally
try
stmt.close();
catch (Exception nex)
return total;
sample render code for calling custom method from JSP custom bean:
public void render() {
int totalhits;
try
Row[] rows;
// Retrieve all records by default, the qView variable is defined in the base class
qView.setRangeSize(-1);
qView.first();
rows = qView.getAllRowsInRange();
// instantiate a view object for our exported method
// and call the stored procedure to get the total
ViewObject vo = qView.getViewObject();
wtQueryView theView = (wtQueryView) vo;
totalhits = theView.getTotalHits(session.getValue("m").toString(),session.getValue("y").toString());
out.println(totalhits);
} catch(Exception ex)
throw new RuntimeException(ex.getMessage());
}

Execute oracle stored procedure from C# always returns null

Hi,
I'm trying to execute a stored procedure on oracle 9i. I'm using .Net OracleClient provider.
Apparently, I can execute the stored procedure, but it always returns null as a result (actually all the sp's I have there returns null)! I can execute any text statement against the database successfully, and also I can execute the stored procedure using Toad.
This is not the first time for me to call an oracle stored procedure, but this really is giving me a hard time! Can anyone help please?
Below are the SP, and the code used from .Net to call it, if that can help.
Oracle SP:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE APIECARE.CHECK_EXISTENCE(l_number IN NUMBER) AS
v_status VARCHAR2(5) := NULL;
BEGIN
BEGIN
SELECT CHECK_NO_EXISTENCE(to_char(l_number))
INTO v_status
FROM DUAL;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
v_status := NULL;
END;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_status);
END CHECK_CONTRNO_EXISTENCE;
C# Code:
string connStr = "Data Source=datasource;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=user;Password=pass;Unicode=True";
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(connStr);
OracleParameter param1 = new OracleParameter();
param1.ParameterName = "v_status";
param1.OracleType = OracleType.VarChar;
param1.Size = 5;
param1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
OracleParameter param2 = new OracleParameter();
param2.ParameterName = "l_number";
param2.OracleType = OracleType.Number;
param2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
param2.Value = 006550249;
OracleParameter[] oraParams = new OracleParameter[] { param1, param2 };
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("CHECK_EXISTENCE", conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.AddRange(oraParams);
conn.Open();
object result = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
conn.Close();

Hi,
Does that actually execute? You're passing two parameters to a procedure that only takews 1 and get no error?
Your stored procedure doesnt return anything and has no output parameters, what are you expecting to be returned exactly?
If you're trying to access V_STATUS you'll need to declare that as either an output parameter of the procedure, or return value of the function, and also access it via accessing Param.Value, not as the result of ExecuteScalar.
See if this helps.
Cheers,
Greg

Oracle Stored Procedure Call

Hi,
I have an Oracle Stored Procedure that I must be calling. The procedure takes two IN parameters, and returns a CHAR(1000) string, not via the OUT parameter, but as normal return.
I have read articles about how to make Procedure Calls with OUT parameters, but didnt find any on my case. I have tried several options but still get parameter binding errors.
What I am trying right now is this:
If anyone
======== code ==============
SQLParameter[] params = new SQLParameter[2];
// Construct three objects corresponding to initial values
Object objMsisdn = new String("9656364550");
Object objUsername = new String("abc");
String output;
// prepare the oracle procedure parameters
params[0] = new SQLParameter(objMsisdn, Types.VARCHAR, SQLParameter.IN);
params[1] = new SQLParameter(objUsername, Types.VARCHAR, SQLParameter.IN);
try{
output = custDetDB.getCustDetails(params);
========================================
Java DB Control:
========================================
* @jc:sql statement="{call www_custdet(?,?)}"
String getCustDetails(SQLParameter[] params) throws SQLException;
Right now I am getting "Not All Variables Bound Error". I tried to have all IN & OUT parameters sent as SQLParameter before but that didnt work either.
Any hints?

As far as I know, it is impossible for an Oracle
stored procedure to return anything except
as output parameters. Show the text of the procedure,
and tell us what JDBC driver you're using.
