Oracle stored procedure - Urgent

Hi All,
An user created stored procedure( assume named PROC1) is internally accessing multiple tables,deleting and updating records in multiple tables.Assume USER1
is the owner of PROC1.
IF USER2, wants to use PROC1,
granting execute on PROC1 to USER2 by USER1 will do or
individually all the table permissions (update on multiple tables,delete on multiple tables etc )needs to be granted apart from execute on PROC1.

Providing PROC1 has authorisation as definer's rights (and that is the default) then you'll be alright.
If the program has this in its signature...
AUTHID CURRENT_USERthen it will run against USER2's schema, with all that that implies.
You'll find more information in the PL/SQL User's Guide here.
Cheers, APC

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

    Hello everyone,
    Whenever i am using the previous script
    because of <<! and !>> in the beginging and the end of oracle scrip. Shell is displaying the error 'newline or ;' unxexpeted and the error no is 48.
    After that i used a different script like
    DIRRUNNER=/oracle/tvg
    count=0
    while [ 1 -eq 1 ]
    do
    for x in `ls $DIRRUNNER/RUNNER_*.TXT`
    do
    count=`grep -c $x $DIRRUNNER/runner.log`
    if [ $count -lt 1 ]

    fi
    done
    count=0
    sleep 2
    done
    The above one is working fine but after executing the procedure control is still remaing in the sqlplus environment, but i want the control back to my shell
    Can anyone help to resolve this, its pretty urgent.

  • Dynamic SQL and Oracle stored procedures

    Does anybody has any experience with invoking an Oracle stored procedures
    with output parameters, using dynamic SQL from Forte?
    Thanks,
    Dimitar

    I would be interested. We are currently using a homegrown DataMapper architecture with the Microsoft OracleClient. I would like to move to ODP.Net once a production version supporting ADO.Net 2.0 is available. After that, I would then like to look at using an off the shelf persistence framework such as EntitySpaces, NHibernate or IdeaBlade's DevForce.

  • 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

    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.

    It can be linked to internal conversion. In some case, the value of internal or extranal value is not the same.
    When you run SE16 (or transaction N), you have in option mode the possibility to use the exit conversion or not.

  • 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";

  • Invoking ORACLE Stored Procedure

    Hello guys,
    I have an ORACLE stored procedure which I need to invoke. I'm currently unable to invoke the stored procedure since I'm always getting the same error:
    com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Error processing request in sax parser: Error when executing statement for table/stored proc. 'test.set_pickup' (structure 'STATEMENTNAME'): java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SET_PICKUP' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement
    I've faced several projects where we needed to invoke stored procedures but these were located in a DB2 or Microsoft SQL Server, and these problems never occured.
    The procedure is set to the minimum, and is now only with one input parameter. I had an input and output parameter but for narrowing the problem I've removed the output.
    The structure for the stored procedure is the one that is referred by SAP or mentioned thousand of times in this forum:
    Statement_name
    StoredProcedureName (attribute ACTION)
      TABLE
      P_TRANSACTION_ID (Attributes isInput, isOutput, type)
    For the basics I'm only filling with one statement.
    I've read some threads with a similar problem but with no response, or solved but with no suggestion on how they solved it.
    Could you please help out?
    Kind regards,
    Gonçalo Mouro Vaz

    Hi,
    Is the structure in Oracle side is of the following format?
    <StatementName>
    <storedProcedureName action=u201D EXECUTEu201D>
        <table>realStoredProcedureeName</table>
    <param1 [isInput=u201Dtrueu201D] [isOutput=true] type=SQLDatatype>val1</param1>
    </storedProcedureName >

    Can you paste the structure here?

  • Calling Oracle Stored procedure with OUT parameter from ODI

    Hi,

    And based on its va;lue I would like to choose between 2 interfaces in my package.
    Please help me in doing this.

    Hi,
    For that kind of situation I commoly use:
    1) one step with:
    create or replace package <%=odiRef.getSchemaName("W")%>.pck_var

    * transaction 9, for instance
    2) step

  • Command for "How to find Cursor Size" in Oracle Stored Procedure"

    Hi
    Can u tell me....
    How to find Cursor Size" in Oracle Stored Procedure........
    I want command for that........

    why don't you try select count(*) from your_table;That requires running the same query twice - or rather running two different queries twice. Besides it still doesn't guarantee anything, because Oracle's read consistency model only applies at the statement level (unless you're running in a serialized transaction).
    This is such a common requirement - users are wont to say "well Google does it" - it seems bizarre that Oracle cannot do it. The truth is that that Google cheats. Firstly it guesses the number on the basis of information in its indexes and refines the estimate as pages are returned. Secondly, Google is under no onus to kepp all its data and indexes synchronized - two simultaneous and identical queries which touch different Google servers can return different results. Oracle Text works the same way, which is why we can get a count with CTX_QUERY.COUNT_HITS in estimate mode.
    Cheers, APC
