ORA-01458

Hello All,
I am using COPY command of SQL/Plus, I also have set my copycommit to 0. But I am getting the error message of ORA-01458. I'll appreciate any assistance. I also noticed that if records were copied less than 1000 those were copied but this table has over 1000 records.
Thank you.

When you set copycommit to 0, it doesn't commit until the end of the operation. If you set copycommit to 1000, it commits after 1000 batches. The size of each batch is determined by arraysize. Try setting the arraysize to a smaller number (valid values are 1 to 5000) and/or setting the copycommit to some number (between 1 and 5000). You might try, for example, arraysize 1 and copycommit 1000.

ORA-01458 error while using Pro*C to invoke PL/SQL procedure, pls help

I am using Pro*C (Oracle 10g on Itanium platform) to invoke PL/SQL procedure to read RAW data from database, but always encoutered ORA-01458 error message.
Here is the snippet of Pro*C code:

When I test the PL/SQL code seperately, everything is ok, but if I use the Pro*C code to read, the ORA-01458 always happen, unless I change the SIZE_DATA_SEG value to 4000, then it passes, and the result read out also seems ok, either the bigger or smaller value will encounter ORA-01458.
I think the problem should happen between the mapping from internal datatype to external VARRAW type, but cannot understand why 4000 bytes buffer will be ok, is it related to some NLS_LANG settings, anyone can help me to resolve this problme, thanks a lot!

It seems that I found the way to avoid this error. Now each time before I read RAW(2000) data from database, i initialize the VARRAW.len first, set its value to SIZE_DATA_SEG, i.e., the outside buffer size, then the error disappear.
Oracle seems to need this information to handle its data mapping, but why output variable also needs this initialization, cannot precompiler get this from the definition of VARRAW structure?
Anyone have some suggestion?

ORA-01458: invalid length inside variable character string

We encountered a serious problem in production system where we were getting this ORA error.
The common search on google results into the following explaination.
Cause: An attempt was made to bind or define a variable character string with a buffer length less than the minimum requirement.
Action: Increase the buffer size or use a different type.
However on analysis we found that the error was because, the value that was being bound to bind variable was NULL.
This was a new finding for me.
Please share your experiences/views on this.

without any code and data examples this is impossible

My answer is only for 1. problem (about ORA-01458)
I think that you use declaration for cursor C0 with a varchar
variable before you ininitialize length (member .len of varchar
structure) of this variable.
It's famous that many errors come from uninitialized varchar
variables in Pro*C.

Generic reporting on SQL variables using sqlgls() /Pro*C

Generic reporting on host/SQL variables using sqlgls()
I use sqlgls() in Pro*C 8.1.7 to get the last SQL statement that was parsed.
It returns something like this.
"select distinct QTY ,CHAPTER into :b0:b1,:b2:b3 from PT ,PU ,UIN U ,EU where (PART=:b4 and PU.PART=:b5) ....."
I would like to see what the values are for each input variable e.g :b4 and :b5
Is there any generic way of reporting what these values are rather than explicity writing code for each individual SQL statement?
Is there a Pro*C method that gets the values of :b4 and :b5??
We are recording the last SQL statement to a text file but cannot see what the values are that caused the SQL query to fail.

Limit the Oracle query run time using Pro*C

All,
I would like to limit my sql query for say a duration of only 10-15 secs. I do not want to kill the oracle process but send a signal to the C program with some message that " its taking more time"
Is there an param which I can use it to limit, without killing or shutting down the oracle session or process.

PL/SQL report errors: ORA-01422

I am getting an error problem when i select certain Schemas from a list on an apex app. page, it only works for some schemas not all..

It does work if i select '[ALL]' from the select list (p3_schema_name), just not for every single individual one.

CLOSE c_schemas;
END IF;
END IF;
END;I have checked the DDH_SCHEMA_NR for repeating entries of the highest number.. some of the ones that dont work do have repeating entries some don't.
Sorry if this is confusing, i have tried to explain it as best as i can.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Ashleigh,
Based on your code, I'd start by running this piece of SQL via command-line (thru SQL Workshop, SQL*Plus, Toad, etc.), replacing &P3_SCHEMA_NAME. and &P3_DB_NAME. with values that are currently causing the routine to fail and see if it returns more than one row. I don't know your data, but DISTINCT and GROUP BY are typically used to return multiple (though grouped/summarized) rows. It appears to be the only statement that would cause the error your seeing (more than one row being returned into single variables).
select distinct DDH_DB_NM, max(DDH_SCHEMA_NR)keep(dense_rank last order by ddh_runstart_td) AS "PATCH" from &P3_SCHEMA_NAME..ddl_log@&P3_DB_NAME.db_link GROUP BY DDH_DB_NM;I'm actually surprised that the code runs at all. I didn't think 'execute immediate' would know what to do with substitutions indicated as "&something." (I've typically seen that when substituting in dynamic HTML/Javascript code but maybe I'm learning something new). But since you already have vServer2 and vSchema2, I'd be more apt to code it as:
vStmt2 := 'select distinct DDH_DB_NM, max(DDH_SCHEMA_NR)keep(dense_rank last order by ddh_runstart_td) AS "PATCH" from ' ||
vSchema2 || '.ddl_log@' || vServer2 || '.db_link GROUP BY DDH_DB_NM';Hope this helps,
John
