NLS Error on Second Fetch from Cursor

Oracle 8i using PRO*C
We have a UNIX (HP) environment (operational account) in which the NLS_LANG was not set for the shell. One of our applications opened a cursor for update and performed its first fetch. After processing it went back to fetch an additional buffer. At this point, the application failed with the following error: "SQLCODE: ORA-01890: NLS error detected". When we set the NLS_LANG enviroment variable this error disappeared.
I need to know what the NLS_LANG enviroment variable is doing and why it is causing the second fetch to fail when it is not set so I can argue with the powers that be to have this paremeter always set for this accounts shell (i.e. globally). No-one really knows what this does here or why it would cause the cursor to fail, and so they are telling us to just set the variable in our own applications shell.
I know the real answer to this is to set it up for the operational (global) shell but...
Thanks in advance,
Bill Rosmus

it is difficult. The main problem is that you can't be sure that the function is called only once for each row.
Why don't you simply run the cursor and the function separatly in pl/sql.
  CURSOR myCur IS SELECT myTable1.* FROM myTable1 ;
  SUBTYPE myRecType IS myCur%ROWTYPE ;
  funcResult varchar2(100); /* use the correct return datatype from your function here */
  FOR myRec in myCur LOOP
      BEGIN
         funcResult := myPackage.myFunc(myRec.column1);
      EXCEPTION
         WHEN myPackage.myFunc_Exception THEN
           <... do anything when fetched but function myFunc raised this exception ...>
      END ;
      <...do anything with row currently fetched>
   END LOOP;You even have more control where to handle the exception. Also there is one pl/sql context switch less. Since the function itself is pl/sql it could even be faster to run it in pl/sql then to call it from sql (inside a select).

  • Fetching from cursor

    Hello all.
    How can i enforce the sql+ start fetching first cursor field by
    one field intervals?
    My sql+ starts fetch from the second item by 2 records intervals,
    so the 4th record is the next one to fetched after the second.
    best regards
    yosi sarid.

    Hi,
    could you please show us the where clause of the cursor?
    I think you are missing something.
    Another fault in your Code is the x_commit_count.
    You increment it every time, but you never set it to zero again. So after 100 inserts, it commits after each loopstep.
    Is this what you want???
    DECLARE
    CURSOR c_cursor IS SELECT * FROM TABLE_A@REMOTE, TABLE_B@REMOTE WHERE...
    x_commit_count NUMBER := 0;
    BEGIN
    FOR r_record IN c_cursor LOOP
    INSERT INTO LOCAL_TABLE;
    x_commit_count := x_commit_count + 1;
    IF x_commit_count >= 100 THEN
    COMMIT;
    ELSE
    NULL;
    END IF;
    END LOOP;
    END;

  • Help!!! slow fetch from cursor

    I have a problem fetching records from a ref cursor returned by a procedure.
    Basically I play both a PL/SQL developer and DBA roles for a development and production Oracle 9.2.0.6 databases hosted on separate Sun Solaris 5.8 servers. The problem PL/SQL signature is shown below, and it basiccally dynamically constructs a large querry (I will call global querry) which is a UNION ALL of 16 smaller querries and opens the cursor parameter for this dynamically constructed querry. The entire querry is assigned to a VARCHAR2(20000) variable, and is normally a little over 15,000 bytes in size. The returned cursor is used to publish the querry result records in Crystal reports. The problem is that the entire process of executing and fetching the result records from the procedure is taking as much as 25 minutes to complete. On investigation of the problem by executing the procedure with a PL/sql block in sqlplus, and adding timing constructs in the execution of the procedure and fetches from the returned cursor, I discovered to my shock that the procedure executes consistently in 1 second (second is the granularity of the timer), but each record fetch is done in a minimum of 16 seconds. All efforts to tune the database memory structures to improve the fetches have yielded very small improvements bringing down the fetch times to about 11 seconds. This is still unacceptable. Is there anybody out there who can suggest a solution to this problem?
    Procedure signature:
    sp_production_report ( p_result_set IN OUT meap_report.t_reportRefCur,
    p_date_from IN VARCHAR2,
    p_date_to IN VARCHAR2,
    p_agency_code IN INTEGER DEFAULT NULL,
    p_county_code IN INTEGER DEFAULT NULL,
    p_selection IN INTEGER DEFAULT 0);
    Test block in sqlplus:
    declare
    -- Local variables here
    i integer;
    v_start INTEGER;
    v_end INTEGER;
    v_end_fetch INTEGER;
    v_cnt INTEGER := 0;
    v_end_loop INTEGER;
    v_elapsed INTEGER;
    v_cur meap_report.t_reportRefCur;
    v_desc VARCHAR2(300);
    v_hh VARCHAR2(300);
    v_meap INTEGER;
    v_bp INTEGER;
    v_ara INTEGER;
    v_tot INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    -- Test statements here
    DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE(100000);
    SELECT TO_NUMBER ( TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'SSSSS')) INTO v_start FROM DUAL;
    sp_production_report ( p_result_set => v_cur,
    p_date_from => '07/01/2008',
    p_date_to => '07/31/2008',
    p_selection => 0);
    SELECT TO_NUMBER ( TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'SSSSS') ) INTO v_end FROM DUAL;
    FETCH v_cur INTO v_desc, v_hh, v_meap, v_bp, v_ara, v_tot;
    SELECT TO_NUMBER ( TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'SSSSS') ) INTO v_end_fetch FROM DUAL;
    WHILE v_cur%FOUND LOOP
    v_cnt := v_cnt + 1;
    FETCH v_cur INTO v_desc, v_hh, v_meap, v_bp, v_ara, v_tot;
    END LOOP;
    SELECT TO_NUMBER ( TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'SSSSS') ) INTO v_end_loop FROM DUAL;
    v_elapsed := v_end_loop - v_end;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'Procedure (p_selection 0) executed in ' || TO_CHAR ( (v_end - v_start) ) || ' seconds.' );
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'Fetched 1st record in ' || TO_CHAR ( (v_end_fetch - v_end) ) || ' seconds.' );
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'Procedure (p_selection 0) :' || TO_CHAR (v_cnt) ||
    ' records fetched in ' || TO_CHAR ( v_elapsed ) || ' seconds.' );
    CLOSE v_cur;
    END;

    And why not use timestamps instead of dates? They get subsecond resolution:
    declare
            t1 timestamp;
            t2 timestamp;
            d1 INTERVAL DAY(3) TO SECOND(3);
    begin
            t1 := systimestamp;
            dbms_lock.sleep(1.45);
            t2 := systimestamp;
            d1 := t2 - t1;
            dbms_output.put_line('Start:    '||t1);
            dbms_output.put_line('End:      '||t2);
            dbms_output.put_line('Duration: '||d1);
    end;
    /As for how to speed up your fetch, that depends on how the SQL the cursor is based on is constructed. Without that you need to refer to Rob's post.

  • Fetch from cursor when no records returned

    Hi,
    I've got the following question / problem?
    When I do a fetch from a cursor in my for loop and the cursor returns no record my variable 'r_item' keeps the value of the previous fetched record.

    Firstly ref cursors contain no data they are not result sets but pointers to compiled SQL statements.
    Re: OPEN cursor for large query
    PL/SQL 101 : Understanding Ref Cursors
    Ref cursors are not supposed to be used within PL/SQL or SQL for that matter, though people keep on insisting on doing this for some reason.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10472/static.htm#CIHCJBJJ
    Purpose of Cursor Variables
    You use cursor variables to pass query result sets between PL/SQL stored subprograms and their clients. This is possible because PL/SQL and its clients share a pointer to the work area where the result set is stored.A ref cursor is supposed to be passed back to a procedural client language, such as Java or .Net.
    If you want to re-use a SQL statement in multiple other PL/SQL or SQL statements you would use a view.

  • SAVE EXCEPTIONS when fetching from cursors by BULK COLLECT possible?

    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
    Hello,
    I'm using an Cursor's FETCH by BULK COLLECT INTO mydata...
    Is it possible to SAVE EXCEPTIONS like with FORALL? Or is there any other possibility to handle exceptions during bulk-fetches?
    Regards,
    Martin

    The cursor's SELECT-statement uses TO_DATE(juldat,'J')-function (for converting an julian date value to DATE), but some rows contain an invalid juldat-value (leading to ORA-01854).
    I want to handle this "rows' exceptions" like in FORALL.
    But it could also be any other (non-Oracle/self-made) function within "any" BULK instruction raising (un)wanted exceptions... how can I handle these ones?

  • Error ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence

    Hi all,
    I created 3 cursors. The scenario is like following :
    Begin Cur A
    Begin FOR xx IN Cur B LOOP
    Begin FOR xx IN Cur C LOOP
    End LOOP Cur C;
    commit;
    End LOOP Cur B;
    End Cur A;
    When i run the program its display error ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence.
    The objective of my program is to insert into table and commit every transaction.
    Kindly share info with me why this error happened.
    TQ.
    tim

    Tim,
    Refer to the following:
    ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence
    Cause: This error means that a fetch has been attempted from a cursor which is no longer valid.
    Note that a PL/SQL cursor loop implicitly does fetches, and thus may also cause this error. There are a number of possible causes for this error, including:
    1) Fetching from a cursor after the last row has been retrieved and the ORA-1403 error returned.
    2) If the cursor has been opened with the FOR UPDATE clause, fetching after a COMMIT has been issued will return the error.
    3) Rebinding any placeholders in the SQL statement, then issuing a fetch before reexecuting the statement.
    Action:
    1) Do not issue a fetch statement after the last row has been retrieved - there are no more rows to fetch.
    2) Do not issue a COMMIT inside a fetch loop for a cursor that has been opened FOR UPDATE.
    3) Reexecute the statement after rebinding, then attempt to fetch again.
    HTH,
    Thierry

    The error depends on exactly what OCI calls the client software makes in accessing this invalid (null) ref cursor variable.
    It would seem that SQL*Plus makes different calls than what your code and Visual Basic does - thus the different error messages returned by the two applications.

    Ok, since this forum is for Photoshop Standard and Photoshop Extended, we don't know much about Photoshop Elements. There is a Photoshop Elements forum and I'll link it for you since they best know how to field your questions.

    Good luck on it!

  • Optimal number of records to fetch from Forte Cursor

    Hello everybody:
    I 'd like to ask a very important question.
    I opened Forte cursor with approx 1.2 million records, and now I am trying
    to figure out the number of records per fetch to obtain
    the acceptable performance.
    To my surprise, fetching 100 records at once gave me approx 15 percent
    performance gain only in comparsion
    with fetching records each by each.
    I haven't found significant difference in performance fetching 100, 500 or
    10.000 records at once.In the same time, fetching 20.000
    records at once make a performance approx 20% worse( this fact I cannot
    explain).
    Does anybody have any experience in how to improve performance fetching from
    Forte cursor with big number of rows ?
    Thank you in advance

    You can do it by writing code in start routine of your transformations.
    1.If you have any specific criteria for filtering go with that and delete unwanted records.
    2. If you want to load specific number of records based on count, then in start routine of the transformations loop through source package records by keeping a counter till you reach your desired count and copy those records into an internal table.
    Delete records in the source package then assign the records stored in internal table to source package.

  • My Mac, all of a sudden, actually says error messages like: "A File couldn't not fetched from the network..."

    All of a sudden my mac starts speaking, but it only reads an error message. "A file could not be fetched from the network" but Voice over is turned off, I double checked it. I don't know what happened, but it's annoying, because it is so random.
    I really need help.

    I think I know the culprit now, it is Little Snitch and its Audio Prompts. I found something in their Forum but you can't dectivate it.

  • Fetch next cursor/ invalid database interruption

    Hi Experts,
    I would appreciate your help for the following problem:
    I am trying to develope something like that:
    OPEN CURSOR ... WITH HOLD
    loop at ...
             FETCH ... PACKAGE SIZE ... into lt_names
             insert table ZZ_XXXX ... from lt_names
             commit work
    endloop.
    in the second loop, the FETCH dumps raising the runtime error "Invalid interruption of a database selection"
    Runtime Error          DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_CURSOR
    Exception              CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB      
    The cursor is opened "with hold".
    Does anybody know, why does it dump?
    Cheers

    Hi Thomas,
    I have four entires in a custom z-table. During FETCH Statements, I use, PACKET SIZE, of 2.
    Rough code is as follows:
    OPEN CURSOR WITH HOLD w_dbcur1 FOR
    SELECT * FROM ztable.
    WHILE sy-subrc = 0.
    FETCH NEXT CURSOR w_dbcur1 INTO TABLE i_notes PACKAGE SIZE p_pack. "Here packet size is of 2
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
    Calling some X BAPI Function module.
    Calling BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT Function module.
    ENDIF.
    ENDWHILE.
    CLOSE CURSOR w_dbcur1.
    Here the problem is, if I give packet size as 30,000, then program is working fine. If I am giving packet size as 2, which less than 4 entries in the table, The program dumps either at first execution of FETCH NEXT CURSOR statement or at the second time of FETCH NEXT CURSOR. Can you provide exact solution for this, and not the links please. Rewards will be provided.
    Thanks,
    Vijayanand.
