Oracle 9i Object Type ..using self

I have created and object with
several attributes of standard oracle datatypes. I have one that is of a custom object type. this object provides encapsulated functionality. I instansiate the internal custom object using a constructor function. the constructor includes the creation of a primary key. once the constructor is done, the object is initialized( an internal flag is set, which should only be done once)
To use this custom object in a member method, I have to do something like this..
( i have summarized code for brevity)
MEMBER FUNCTION foo( ) return obj
is
l_self PARENT_OBJ_TYPE:= SELF;
local INTERNAL_OBJ :=SELF.internal_obj;
begin
local.method1() -- insert record( flag is true)
local.method1() --insert another record( but this time the flag that was set upon construction is now set to FALSE..
I get an error.)
end;
I do not do anything tricky. the behavior seems to be that object types do not keep state appropriately.
any ideas of why this could be happening?

there was no real error code just unexpected behavior. it did not crash. I figured it out. it had to do with passing self as a parameter in out so that it keeps state

Oracle Spatial Object types in Designer 6

Hi all,
I'm trying to design a database that uses the new Oracle Spatial Object types (MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY) etc. I have been able to capture the object types from Oracle8i but when i try to save the design in the repository it fails. I am assuming that the version of Oracle Designer I am using does not support MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY. Is this correct and if so what version of Designer should I be using?
Martin

Hi Saso,
I'm sorry I don't have any help for you but maybe yo can answer a question for me relating to sdo_geometry. I'm trying to capture a database schema which contains tables with sdo_geometry columns & this fails because I don't have that object defined.
So how do I access the Oracle Object Types branch to define MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY? Is it in the object navigator or designer?
Thanks,
Jim Greetham

I just installed Adobe InDesign CC 2014 and now I can't scale objects/type using Command+Shift Key. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, any solution?

There is a conflict with third party software or your system keyboard shortcuts. Lately, there have been many postings about conflicts with Chrome extensions so check there first.
It's not a new problem. I wrote about it on InDesignSecrets.com in 2006:

Passing Object types using JDBC

I need to pass Oracle user-defined object types in and out of
PL/SQL stored procedures. Is this possible???
Thanks

Hi Tina,
I just had another thought. JDBC for 8.0 doesn't support
user-defined SQL types. This feature isn't implemented until 8i.
Sorry about the false lead!
So you'd have to wrapper your object in another PL/SQL method
which 'explodes' the user-defined type, as:
procedure can_call_from_jdbc (ename varchar2, empno number, ...)
is...
begin
call my_procedure(employee_t(ename, empno, ...));
end;

Trying to pass Oracle array/object type to Java

I have a Java class with two inner classes that are loaded into Oracle:
public class PDFJ
    public static class TextObject
        public String font_name;
        public int font_size;
        public String font_style;
        public String text_string;
    public static class ColumnObject
        public int left_pos;
        public int right_pos;
        public int top_pos;
        public int bottom_pos;
        public int leading;
        public TextObject[] column_texts;
}I have object types in Oracle as such that bind to the Java classes:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "PROGRAMMER"."PDFJ_TEXT" AS OBJECT
EXTERNAL NAME 'PDFJ$TextObject'
LANGUAGE JAVA
USING SQLData(
"FONT_NAME" VARCHAR2(25) EXTERNAL NAME 'font_name',
"FONT_SIZE" NUMBER EXTERNAL NAME 'font_size',
"FONT_STYLE" VARCHAR2(1) EXTERNAL NAME 'font_style',
"TEXT_STRING" VARCHAR2(4000) EXTERNAL NAME 'text_string'
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "PROGRAMMER"."PDFJ_TEXT_ARRAY" AS
TABLE OF "PROGRAMMER"."PDFJ_TEXT";
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "PROGRAMMER"."PDFJ_COLUMN" AS OBJECT
EXTERNAL NAME 'PDFJ$ColumnObject'
LANGUAGE JAVA
USING SQLData(
"LEFT_POS" NUMBER EXTERNAL NAME 'left_pos',
"RIGHT_POS" NUMBER EXTERNAL NAME 'right_pos',
"TOP_POS" NUMBER EXTERNAL NAME 'top_pos',
"BOTTOM_POS" NUMBER EXTERNAL NAME 'bottom_pos',
"LEADING" NUMBER EXTERNAL NAME 'leading',
"COLUMN_TEXTS" "PROGRAMMER"."PDFJ_TEXT_ARRAY" EXTERNAL NAME 'column_texts'
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "PROGRAMMER"."PDFJ_COLUMN_ARRAY" AS
    TABLE OF "PROGRAMMER"."PDFJ_COLUMN";
/I successfully (as far as I know) build a PDFJ_COLUMN_ARRAY object in a PL/SQL procedure. The PDFJ_COLUMN_ARRAY contains PDFJ_COLUMN objects; each of those objects contains a PDFJ_TEXT_ARRAY of PDFJ_TEXT objects (Example: pdf_column_array(i).pdf_text_array(i).text_string := 'something';). In this procedure, I pass this PDFJ_COLUMN_ARRAY as a parameter to a Java function. I assume the Java function parameter is supposed to be a oracle.sql.ARRAY object.
I cannot figure out how to decompose this generic ARRAY object into a ColumnObject[] array. I also tried Googling and searching the forums, but I can't figure out matching search criteria. I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about passing user-defined Oracle type objects to a Java function and retrieving the user-defined Java class equivalents that they are supposedly mapped to--especially a user-defined array type of user-defined object types containing another user-defined array type of user-defined object types.

Ok. I will try asking on the JDBC forum. So, don't
flame me for cross-posting. :PWe won't, if over there you just post basically a
link to this one.

Oracle table object type - Error

Hi,
I have created an oracle object as like
[CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE t_test_obj IS OBJECT (
testid INTEGER,
testdesc VARCHAR2(64)
Then created the type table from above
[ create or replace type t_table as table of t_test_obj;]
i want to create the table containing the above type like below
create table t_tab_test (test1 t_table); but i received the error as like
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22913: must specify table name for nested table column or attribute
Requirement: As one my function returns this table type object and i want to insert those values in a table hence i want this. Any other pointers are also helpful.
Please help.
Regards,
Kapil

Thanks for reply.
As i described in Requirement, my function return the table type, hence if i try to insert i get error as below. t_table is the return type from function. I need conversion from table type to object type.

Oracle query with out using self join

hi friends,
i have one table for exeample PERSTATUS
pk/fK STUDENT NUMBER SUBJECT MARKS STATUS
1 ACCOUNTS 15 RED
1 MATHS 35 YELLOW
1 SCINECE 45 GREEN
2 ACCOUNTS 55 BROWN
2 MATHS 35 YELLOW
2 SCINECE 45 GREEN
3 ACCOUNTS 15 RED
3 MATHS 35 YELLOW
3 SCINECE 45 GREEN
i want students how status is both red and yellow so i am using self join
i want students status is both red and yellow so i am using self join
SELECT PS.STUDENTNUMBER,PS.STATUS,PS.STATUS1 FROM PERSTATUS PS ,PERSTATUS PS1
WHERE PS.STUDENTNUMBER-PS1.STUDENTNUMER
PS.STATUS='RED' AND PS1.STAUTS='YELLOW'
i want students status is both RD and YELLOW AND GREEN so i am using self join( two self joinS}
SELECT PS.STUDENTNUMBER,PS.STATUS,PS.STATUS,PS2.STATUS FROM PERSTATUS PS ,PERSTATUS PS1,PERSTATUS PS2
WHERE PS.STUDENTNUMBER-PS1.STUDENTNUMER AND PS.STUDENTNUMBER-PS2.STUDENTNUMBER
PS.STATUS='RED' AND PS1.STAUTS='YELLOW' AND PS2.STAUTUS='GREEN'
if i require MORE STATUS then more self joins required, is there any alternative to achive this
and if results comes in multiple rows are accepted (since with the above query result will come in single row)
i tried to use group by (studentnumber,status) with status='red' and status='yellow'
but it is not possible could you povidet he solution

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, please post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data, and the exact results you want from that data. Explain how you get those results from that data.
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
Here's an example of how to post the sample data:
CREATE TABLE     perstatus
(       studentnumber     NUMBER
,     subject          VARCHAR2 (10)
,     marks          NUMBER
,     status          VARCHAR2 (10)
INSERT INTO perstatus (studentnumber, subject,    marks, status)
       VALUES           (1,           'ACCOUNTS', 15,       'RED');
INSERT INTO perstatus (studentnumber, subject , marks, status)
       VALUES           (1,           'MATHS',        35,       'YELLOW');
INSERT INTO perstatus (studentnumber, subject,    marks, status)
       VALUES           (1,           'SCINECE', 45,       'GREEN');
INSERT INTO perstatus (studentnumber, subject,    marks, status)
       VALUES           (2,           'ACCOUNTS', 55,       'BROWN');
INSERT INTO perstatus (studentnumber, subject , marks, status)
       VALUES           (2,           'MATHS',        35,       'YELLOW');
INSERT INTO perstatus (studentnumber, subject,    marks, status)
       VALUES           (2,           'SCINECE', 45,       'GREEN');
INSERT INTO perstatus (studentnumber, subject,    marks, status)
       VALUES           (3,           'ACCOUNTS', 15,       'RED');
INSERT INTO perstatus (studentnumber, subject , marks, status)
       VALUES           (3,           'MATHS',        35,       'YELLOW');
INSERT INTO perstatus (studentnumber, subject,    marks, status)
       VALUES           (3,           'SCINECE', 45,       'GREEN');You were on the right track, thinking about GROUP BY. You're interested in something about the whole group of rows that has the same studentnumber. Looking at any individual row won't tell you if that row is part of the group you're interested in or not.
If you want to see information about the group as a whole, you can do the whole job with GROUP BY. In this case, studnetnumber is the only thing that an entire group has in common. If you wanted to see the studentnumbers that had both RED and YELLOW, that is:
STUDENTNUMBER
            1
            3here's one way you could do it:
SELECT       studentnumber
FROM       perstatus
WHERE       status     IN ('RED', 'YELLOW')
GROUP BY studentnumber
HAVING       COUNT (DISTINCT status) = 2 -- That is, both RED and YELLOW
ORDER BY studentnumber
;But say you wanted to see details about individuals in the group; for example, say we want to see all the columns for students that have all 3 of RED, YELLOW and GREEN, like this:
STUDENTNUMBER SUBJECT         MARKS STATUS
            1 SCINECE            45 GREEN
            1 ACCOUNTS           15 RED
            1 MATHS              35 YELLOW
            3 SCINECE            45 GREEN
            3 ACCOUNTS           15 RED
            3 MATHS              35 YELLOWWe used the aggregate COUNT function earlier, but aggregate functions require collapsing the results down to one row per group.
However, most of the aggregate functions, like COUNT, have analytic counterparts, that can give the same results without collapsing the result set. Here's one way to get the results above, using the analytic COUNT function:
WITH     got_cnt          AS
     SELECT studentnumber, subject, marks, status
     ,     COUNT ( DISTINCT CASE
                               WHEN status IN ('RED', 'YELLOW', 'GREEN')
                         THEN status
                           END
                ) OVER (PARTITION BY studentnumber)     AS cnt
     FROM    perstatus
SELECT    studentnumber, subject, marks, status
FROM       got_cnt
WHERE       cnt = 3
ORDER BY studentnumber
,            status
;

ERD and oracle object types

Is there a good way to model oracle object types using ERD's in designer 6i. I can only figure out how to map to tables with columns of predefined datatypes (varchar2, number, date, long). I'd like to use designer to create new datatypes. Is this possible? Thanks.

Hi Wiiliam
Sorry for the late acknowledgement (i dozed off!).. Thanks for the response. So the private instance specific to a session ensure that theres no conflict between multiple requests to the same stored proc and hence no conflict of data... Great

SQL>Now, in that loop woudl it make sense to execute a peck() on all of those entries? Nope. Furthermore as far as I can tell it is not possible to find out what sub-type an object is from with PL/SQL, so you couldn't even use Padders's TREAT ploy.
So: if you want to do something generic use a super-type. If you want to do something specific use a sub-type.

How could I Encrypt the data of SDO_GEOMETRY type using DBMS_CRYPTO package

Hi:
I want to Encrypt the data of SDO_GEOMETRY object type using DBMS_CRYPTO package.
What could I do? hope anyone can help me,give me a suggestions!
thanks in advance.
lgs

well, the spatial api would not be able to handle this data anymore, so what you are trying to do is converting an SDO_GEOMETRY to some cryptable user type (see http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_crypto.htm#sthref1506) and encrypting this.
Before using the SDO_GEOMETRY type will have to decrypt and reconvert it again and pass it to the spatial query or function.

Get object type attribute value

1 am trying binding Oracle Object types to java object types using the ORAData interface.
I created a simple object type called att_mesg_type with the syntax
create type att_mesg_type as object (subject varchar2(200),Text varchar2(1000));
I then created a class called attMesgType using Jpublisher which implements the interface.
The getSubject() and getText() method return '???'.
Anybody has any insights? Any inputs are appreciated.

declare
attr_name varchar2(10) := 'ATTR1';
attr_value varchar2(50);
type_instance MyType := MyType('VALUE 1', 'VALUE 2');
begin
    execute immediate 'declare type_instance MyType := :1; begin :2 := type_instance.' || attr_name || '; end;'
      using type_instance,out attr_value;
    dbms_output.put_line(attr_value);
end;
VALUE 1

Bind problem for varchar2 of object type??

Hello all,
I am trying out binding Oracle Object types to java object types using the SQLData interface.
I created a simple object type called employee with the syntax
create type employee as object (empName varchar2(50),empNo number(9));
I then created a class called EmplyoeeObj which implements the interface. The code for the readSQL and
writeSQL methods are below:
public void readSQL(SQLInput stream, String typeName) throws SQLException {
empName = stream.readString();
empNo = stream.readInt();
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput stream) throws SQLException {
stream.writeString(empName);
stream.writeInt(empNo);
empName is a String and empNo is an int. The code that does the calling is:
String query = "{call test_employee(?)}";
Map map = connection.getTypeMap();
map.put("CISWEB.EMPLOYEE",
Class.forName("test.jdbc.EmployeeObj"));
/*Set back the type map with the new mappings*/
connection.setTypeMap(map);
/*Create a statement to make the call */
ocs = (OracleCallableStatement)connection.prepareCall(query);
ocs.registerOutParameter(1,
OracleTypes.STRUCT,
"CISWEB.EMPLOYEE");
boolean isWorked = ocs.execute();
System.out.println("Execute finished........");
Object outParam = ocs.getObject(1);
System.out.println("Object was obtained........" + outParam);
System.out.println("name:" + ((EmployeeObj)outParam).getName());
As can be seen I have created a stored procedure which has one out parameter. All
this preocedure does is assign an Employee object to the out parameter with a name of
'Alex' and an employee number of 9.
The code runs and all but I get this strange result. In the print I am getting the employee number
coming out correctly but the employee name comes out as 3 question marks. I can't understand why
"Alex" does not out. I have tried different things such as adding a new varchar2 to the object type and new a new integer and what I observer is that I keep getting 3 question marks coming back instead of whatever I assign for the employee name. Could someone please help and let me know what could be wrong?
I have no clue as what is causing this weird behaviour.
Thanks.

Hi,
i have not really a idea. But at the next step i would
try the same procedure with in/out parameter and use a
initialized string. Maybe there is a problem to
determine the length of string.
Bye ThomasThanks for you reply Thomas,
This is the code for stored procedure that I use. As can be seen I just assign an employee to the
out parameter.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test_employee(emp out EMPLOYEE) IS
BEGIN
emp := EMPLOYEE('Alex',49);
END;
Now in the java code when the statement >>
System.out.println("name:" + ((EmployeeObj)outParam).getName());
executes I get the name coming out as the String: "???". That is three question marks. It is very weird. I then attempted to create the object using JPublisher and I get the same result. I attempted not only to use hte SQLData interface but Oracle's ORAData interfaces as well. I went to to create a table with column as the EMPLOYEE type and use in insert to put the same object and and then sellect * from the table to the the and I still get the 3 question marks for the name and the number comes out correctly.
I am not sure what could be causing the text to come out as three question marks. I am using Oracle 9.2.0.4.0 and the ojdbc_g.jar drivers version :9.2.0.3.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

New custom object type - SWO1

Hi All,
I need to create a custom object type using SWO1.
The object type needs to be linked to a report program with selection screen(or its tcode).
The selection screen carries just 1field. The output is a new screen.
Would appreciate if any1 can tell me the step-by-step process to accomplish my objective.
-Ram.

Enter a name.
Hit create. Populate the manadatory pop ups don't populate super type.
Blow out the key field. Create a key field.
Blow out the methods - add a method. Add the code for the method - select the method and hit the program button add code as below:
BEGIN_METHOD RUNDUPREPORT CHANGING CONTAINER.
   SET PARAMETER ID 'VPA' FIELD OBJECT-KEY-PARTNEREMPLOYEEID.
export object-key-partneremployeeid to memory id '99'.
   CALL TRANSACTION 'ZEML' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
*object-key-partneremployeeid.
END_METHOD.
Create your event.
My method calls an abap I wrote that is bound to a transaction.
You will need to set the release status for all of the elements of your object and the object itself.
The question I have is why. Are you calling the object in a workflow? If so you will need to use the fm as below:
DATA: OBJTYPE LIKE SWETYPECOU-OBJTYPE VALUE 'ZRM_WWCONT',
    EVENT LIKE SWETYPECOU-EVENT VALUE 'DuplicateEmail',
     OBJKEY LIKE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY,
        EVENTID LIKE SWEDUMEVID-EVTID.
    DATA: BEGIN OF EVENT_CONTAINER OCCURS 0.
            INCLUDE STRUCTURE SWCONT.
    DATA: END OF EVENT_CONTAINER.
    OBJKEY = KNVK-PARNR.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
         EXPORTING
              OBJTYPE              = OBJTYPE
              OBJKEY               = OBJKEY
              EVENT                = EVENT
        START_WITH_DELAY     = ' '
        START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
        IMPORTING
             EVENT_ID             = EVENTID
         TABLES
              EVENT_CONTAINER      = EVENT_CONTAINER
         EXCEPTIONS
              OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND    = 1
              OTHERS               = 2.
    COMMIT WORK.
Good Luck.
