Oracle OLE DB Provider / Stored Procedure REF CURSOR errror

Post Author: robfurrball
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
All,I'm out of ideas on this and would appreciate any suggestions.I'm trying to use Crystal XI to connect to an Oracle 9i database using the Oracle OLE DB Provider (required to use this provider by a 3rd party program that fires off the report).If I connect using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle,  the report will return data.  When connecting with the Oracle OLE DB Provider, I get the following:Database Connector Error: 'ADO Error Code: 0x80040e14
Source: OraOLEDB
Description: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SP_MOMGLOBCSHBAL_TEST'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Native Error: 6550 [Database Vendor Code: 6550 ]' -
The procedure's only parameter is an IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR, and the Oracle OLE DB Provider is version 9.2.0.7.0 Thanks,Rob

Summary: After going
back and forth with Business Objects support they ruled that it was an issue
with the provider itself, recommended I contact Oracle for resolution, and
closed the case before I could comment back to them.  I was unable to send this response to their
support team, so I'm posting it here in hopes that I can save others time/money
in the future.
My Response -
  I appreciate your input and would have liked to comment further on the case management system before you closed the case.  I'm a little surprised and disappointed that you recommend I contact Oracle directly about this issue.I would imagine that a company as large as Business Objects would have much better results dealing with Oracle to resolve an issue compared to an individual.Also, since you are able to connect to other objects (such as a table) in Crystal Reports using that provider, I would expect that you would want customers to be able to connect to stored procedures using it as well.  Otherwise, it would seem appropriate to either alert customers of this defect through documentation, public message boards, and forums.Using Crystal to pull data from stored procedures in other databases and data providers made me think that was a viable option for this project.  Since it was not documented as a limitation of Crystal and the provider, it has cost my organization a great deal of time and money trying to troubleshoot an issue I would have expected to be caught in Crystal Reports' internal quality assurance testing.------ This is the final note I received on my support case: -
Please note that the statement used to execute a procedure within ODBC/OLE DB is different from the native 'Oracle Server' statement.In ODBC or OLE DB, the call is '{CALL "SCHEMANAME"."TEST_PROCEDURE"(3)}' , when using native 'Oracle Server' the call is 'BEGIN "SCHEMANAME"."TEST_PROCEDURE"(:TEST_CURSOR, 1); END ;'In ODBC or OLE DB, the cursor is still used however it is not listed within the SQL Statement as in the Native connection. This is the behavior from Crystal Reports 9 forward that the cursor is not shown through ODBC/OLE DB.In addition to that as the issue is only with the Oracle OLE DB provider and I would suggest you to contact Oracle about this issue, since the issue occurs outside of Crystal Reports when using QTADO with a standard call, so it is not an issue between Crystal Reports and Oracle.The issue is only with Oracle OLE DB provider as the same Oracle stored procedure call works within QTADO with the MS Oracle OLE DB provider.As the issue is with the OLE DB Provider and not with Crystal Reports, we may not be able to proceed further. Hence, I am closing this case from Case Management System.

  • Is BC4J a viabl option for database with stored procedure (ref cursor) API?

    I'm about to begin a Web application development project. As foundation, we have a (Oracle) database of certain complexity that have a data access API developed with PL/SQL packages.
    This API is designed to get data through stored procedures/functions that return REF CURSOR.
    Personally I have been investigating about Oracle ADF/JSF, and a number of others J2EE technologies, and at this moment I am doubting if ADF BC are a viable option to my development team.
    I think this because I have noticed that one of the great drawback in ADF BC is the lack of simplicity to get data through stored procedures/functions that returns REF CURSORS.
    I have been looking for documentation and the only thing that I have found are two examples:
    1.- One that really do not work (fails in get data from ref cursor): ADF BC StoredProcedure Sample application.
    2.- And other published by Steve Muench in
    http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2003/03/03/gettingAViewObjectsResultRowsFromARefCursor.html. This sample works fine.
    But, the problem with the approach of this last article is the amount (and complexity) of the code necessary to make so basic and recurrent operation as is "obtain data through a stored procedure (ref cursor)".
    Below it is the code that I have constructed to call a function that returns a ref cursor (based on steve's article).
    If this is the only way to make this (historically so basic and simple) task, then it is obvious that BC is not a viable technology to my (or I am in a mistake?), since we have about 50 stored procedures/functions to access the underlying data; that stored procedures/functions are key to development of the new application (and, still more, currently are used to anothers apps ).
    By all this, I would like consult to Oracle's people:
    1.- I really must reject BC as technology to implement this project ?
    2.- It is possible to access stored procedures in a simpler way using BC?
    3.- If the answer to 2 is NOT: in near future, the BC team has plans to give more support to the simple access to stored procedures?
    4.- If the answer to 3 is NOT: what another technology you recommend to construct my data access/business tier and still be able to using the others characteristics of ADF?
    Thank you very much for your guidelines.

  • Forms Data-Block based on stored procedures - REF CURSOR feature NOT FUNCTIONING

    This topic is related to another topic in this forum titled "FORMS HOW TO SET QUERY SOURCE ARGUMENTS??" I posted my message there as well. I am posting as a NEW TOPIC so that it catches the attention of Oracle Support.
    I built a data form based on a stored procedure and REF CURSOR IN OUT parameter.
    My procedure takes a IN parameter to fill in the criteria for the OPEN <cursor_variable> select ... where ... statement.
    In the Value setting of the Query source Arguments , I set the VALUE to ":BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME" at design time to supply the input value to the procedure. this works to the extent of making available the form item value to the stored procedure parameter. I verified this by doing an insert into some debug table , of the incoming parameter value inside my stored procedure.
    The cursor gets opened properly into the REF cursor variable. I verified this by fetching a record into a local variable and inserting the value into a debug table again in the stored procedure.
    (I took care to close and re-open the REF cursor variable again - so that the front-end can continue to fetch it from the first record. )
    ***** PROBLEM **************
    But the front end forms runtime is giving me a FRM-40301 - query returned no records even though the REF cursor is returned properly opened.
    Did anybody else face the same problem ??
    Please post what you found.
    Thanks,
    Shankaran

    This topic is discussed at length in another thread "How Set Value For Query DataSource Arguments?"
    But I am posting the findings here as well.
    THIS TOPIC IS CLOSED.
    My Bad. The problem Cause : I did not include all columns in the
    cursor rowtype in the Data-block. In the wizard for the data block , I selected ONLY the columns that I needed. But I was doing a Select * from <my_table> in my open cursor <Cursor-Variable> .... The <Cursor Variable>
    itself was declared <my_table>%rowtype
    FIX : The Data Block structure (columns included as items) should match the cursor record Structure. One may or may not
    display all the columns in the LAYOUT though.
    But I don't understand why it gives such a misleading message like FRM-40301 Query retrieved no records. Oracle Team fix it.
    Hope this helps people who face the same problem.

  • Stored procedure - ref cursor - no rows

    Hello,
    I am stumped. Hopefully another pair of eyes will see what mine cannot. I am calling a stored procedure that accepts a single output parameter [the proc has been dumbed down to limit variables of my problem] that is a ref cursor. When I make the call I get now data. I have used both adapter and datareaders. If I call the proc from another proc I can loop through the results. I am including the code of my c# function and the stored proc.
    The version number of my Oracle.DataAccess.dll is 10.1.0.303.
    ** Stored Proc ***********************
    TYPE refcursor is ref cursor ;
    procedure P_CUSTOMER_INFO_GET_SLIM( thecur out refcursor )
    is
    begin
    open thecur for
    select *
    from customer_info
    where rownum < 21;
    end P_CUSTOMER_INFO_GET_SLIM;
    ** C# Func ***************************
              private DataSet _FetchCustomerData2(string CustNbr, string ShipToSuffix)
                   string                         sc = "PKG_CUSTOMER_CONTACT.P_CUSTOMER_INFO_GET_SLIM";
                   OracleConnection     con = new OracleConnection(_Database.GetConnection().ConnectionString);
                   OracleCommand               cmd = new OracleCommand(sc, con);
                   OracleDataAdapter da = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd);
                   DataSet ds = new DataSet();
                   // must pass strings with data
                   if (CustNbr.Length==0 || ShipToSuffix.Length==0)
                        return null;
                   try
                        // we are calling a stored proc so set it
                        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                        cmd.Parameters.Add("thecur", OracleDbType.RefCursor, DBNull.Value, ParameterDirection.Output);
                        da.Fill(ds, "Customer"); // no data ?????????????????
                        // Close and Dispose OracleConnection object
                        con.Close();
                        con.Dispose();
                        return ds;

    Hey all,
    I ended up declaring a variable in the proc as refcursor and opening it. Then I assigned the out parameter ref cursor to the variable. That took care of it. See below.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • STORED PROCEDURE/REF CURSOR: How to output entire buffer

    I wrote a Stored Procedure wherein I use a Cursor to extract multiple
    rows and columns. I then write them into the buffer
    (dmbs_output.put_line). But when I try to capture the entire result
    into an OUT variable, I only get the last buffered line.
    So how do I output the entire buffer- all rows and columns? In other words (maybe), how do I use dbms_output.get_lines() to assign value to an OUT variable?
    Alternatively, using REF CURSOR as OUT variable, I added the following to "CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ... ()":
    cursor_out_test OUT cursor_test
    But when I tried:
    DEFINE CURSOR TYPE cursor_test IS REF CURSOR RETURN table%ROWTYPE;
    ...or...
    DECLARE TYPE cursor_test IS REF CURSOR RETURN table%ROWTYPE;
    I still got syntax errors.
    In one line, what I am trying to do is break the result array at the database level rather than at the application level.

    I did the following:
    OPEN CURSOR x
         LOOP
              FETCH CURSOR x INTO col1, col2
              (EXIT WHEN...)
              variable_line := col1 || col2
         END LOOP
    CLOSE CURSOR
    But after closing this cursor, variable_line contains only the last buffered line. I want all the looped lines (without using associative arrays, nested tables etc). So I guess I am just looking for some way to append data lines- adding chr(10) doesn't work either.
    Cheers, Bill

  • Getting data stored in ref cursor ( got from store proc in oracle) to excel sheet)

    Hey, I am trying to Get data stored in ref cursor ( got from store proc in oracle) to excel sheet in a virtual folder using ssis. 
    I am getting errors and cant do it. If anyone can help me

    Hi Nabin000,
    The Oracle stored procedure doesn't work with SSIS source adapters such as OLE DB Source because the data provider doesn't provide metadata for the source adapter. To achieve your goal, you can use a Script Component as source to call
    the Oracle stored procedure by using System.Data.OracleClient OracleDataReader, and get the rows and add them to the pipeline buffer. For more information, please see:

  • Hi to all... What is a  XML data provider,stored Procedure, personal data

    Hi to all... What is a  XML data provider,stored Procedure, personal data providers in deski.  when we use these data provider in desk top intelligence.. and use of it.
    Please give detail description of the above...
    Thanks for reply..........

    Hi,
    We can create Desktop Intelligence reports using XML Data Provider, Personal Data Files and Stored Procedure.
    Following is some detailed information about these three.
    Xml data provider:
    Xml data provider is used for the integration of external data sources stored in XML format.
    This is similar to HTML.
    Stored Procedure:
    A stored procedure is a set of SQL commands that has been compiled and stored on the database server.
    Once the stored procedure has been "stored", client applications can execute the stored procedure over and over again without sending it to the database server again and without compiling it again.
    Stored procedures improve performance by reducing network traffic and CPU load.
    Personal data files:
    u2022     *.prn files
         A PRN file is a special type of file which contains instructions for a printer, it tells the printer what to print on the page and where as well as which paper tray to use, what the paper size is and a number of other controls.
    u2022     *.asc files
          Between the values of a row any number of carriage returns  or blanks are allowed. In any case it is strongly recommended that the data table be stored in such a way that it can be read and edited easily.
           The values may be stored in any format (integer, floating point, exponential notation) and they must be separated at least by one blank. The class information must be of integer type, the row identifiers are interpreted as strings. The lines can have any length and must not contain any comment.
    u2022     *.csv files
    A CSV file is a specially formatted plain text file which stores spreadsheet or basic database-style information in a very simple format, with one record on each line, and each field within that record separated by a comma.

  • How deploy Oracle OLE DB Provider?

    What information is available to enable one to set up a simple deployment scenario for a Delphi 6.0 program that
    utilizes the Oracle OLE DB Provider? (What DLL files are needed, what [if any] registry settings must be made,
    what configuration files are needed, etc..) It is not viable to expect the end user to download the 45 MB file from
    the Oracle site in order to obtain the functionality of the Oracle OLE DB Provider.

    Put the Oracle Installation CD on the network and then install the Client version of Oracle to everyone's pc.
    I know there are deployment wizards for VB and VC++ but this is the best i think as there are lots of dll's and it gets messy.
    They will also need the tnsnames.ora entry.
    Make sure you have the right licensing agreement with Oracle.

  • Oracle OLE DB provider truncates LONG field's data

    I am using Visual Basic 6, Oracle 8.1, and use ADO to connect to the Oracle database.
    I have a problem with OLE DB provider OraOLEDB.Oracle reading a LONG field (MEMO field in Access).
    When I tried to get the value of the LONG field, it truncates it to 100 characters.
    I do not have the problem using Microsoft Oracle OLE DB Provider MSDAORA.
    This is the Oracle table:
    CREATE TABLE tblA (
    tblA_KEY NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,
    tblA_MEMO LONG NULL
    This is the VB 6 code:
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
    rs.Open ssql, adoConn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly
    sMemo = "" & rs.Fields("tblA_Memo") -->> sMemo contains only the first 100
    characters of tblA_Memo
    How can I fix this?
    Thank you.

    Thanks. I assume you are talking about 9.2 version of Oracle, right?
    While we are in the subject of LONG field. In Oracle 8.1, I can not do the following sql stt:
    select * from tblA where tblA_Memo like '%york%'
    It gives me the error "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes"
    Can I do this in Oracle 9.2 ?

    http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/windows/ole_db/oledb92/index.html
    Check the PopulateProducts method available in the ViewProducts.cs file that call a database stored procedure "getProductsInfo" . This code is written in C# you may want to convert it to VB.NET syntax.
    Thanks,

  • Stored procedure with cursor as output param

    It's the first time for me to test a stored procedure with a cursor as output parameter. I executed the following:
    SQL> VARIABLE user_cur REFCURSOR; VARIABLE ret_code VARCHAR2; exec TEST_API.SEARCH_USER( :ret_code, '', '', 'john', '', :user_cur); print ret_code;print user_cur;
    I got the following error:
    Usage: VAR[IABLE] [ <variable> [ NUMBER | CHAR | CHAR (n [CHAR|BYTE]) |
    VARCHAR2 (n CHAR) | NCHAR | NCHAR (n) |
    NVARCHAR2 (n) | CLOB | NCLOB | REFCURSOR ] ]
    May I know what's the problem?
    The purpose of the stored procedure is to search for user with the name "john".
    The stored procudure input/output params declaration is as follows:
    PROCEDURE SEARCH_USER
    RETURN_CODE OUT VARCHAR2,
    USER_ID_IN IN VARCHAR2,
    POSITION_IN IN VARCHAR2,
    USERNAME_IN IN VARCHAR2,
    STATUS_IN IN VARCHAR2,
    USER_CUR_OUT OUT REFCURSOR

    for the usage of refcursors in pl/sql refer here..
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10807/06_ora.htm#sthref808
    You can code like..
    SQL> create or replace procedure p1(id number,csr out sys_refcursor) is
      2  begin
      3   open csr for select ename from emp where deptno = id;
      4  end;
      5  /
    Procedure created.
    SQL> var csr1 refcursor
    SQL> var n number
    SQL> exec :n := 30;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> exec p1(:n,:csr1);
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> print csr1

  • JCA Error while calling Stored Procedure containing cursors in BPEL/OSB

    Hi,
    I created JCA DBAdapter in Jdeveloper for calling remote stored procedure which contains cursors as OUT parameters.
    I'm getting below exception when i try to call the database via BPEL/OSB.the same remote procedure call is working on Invoking with WLI .

    You need to open all the cursors in the PLSQL ie., cursors should be initialized in your PLSQL package. JCA DB Adapter tries to open the cursor without checking whether its there or not..If you cant change the PLSQL package, raise a SR with Oracle for a patch.This would be considered as Enhancement Request.
