Passing a list into a sql procedure via a unix shell.

9.2.0.6
for some dumb reason we cannot use java to do this task.
anyways
I need to build a list of all file in a particular directory. The list could be zero to very very long. I would like to be able to pass that list to a PL/SQL procedure.
this is in unix
I think I could do something like
var=f1,f2,f3,f4
sqlplus blah/blah $var
exec my_proc(&var);
I guess that would handle up to 32k in length. It would be up to me to parse the list.
I am really looking for an way to do this a bit slicker.. like with a ref cursor but I seem to be getting stuck.
Thanks

Passing Ref Cursor to Oracle Stored Procedure Via C#

Hi all,
I am new to oracle and stuck with an issue. I have three insert stored procedures for three different tables. Two of them have multiple rows to be inserted, which is currently done via iterating through each row and insert to db in C# code. My requirement is to merge these three procedures in one and instead of iterating from C# code send table rows as (ref cursor or collection) to procedure and the procedure will handle the rest.
I read that ref cursor only works if you're data is in database as it reference the memory but in my case data is build on client side.
I am using Oracle 11i and ASP.Net 2.0
Can any help me on this please?

How is the procedure to determine the target table to insert the data into? And please - no dynamic SQL as that is 99% of the time wrong.
A ref cursor is something that PL/SQL creates - with the purpose of passing the cursor handle to your code. This enables the actual SQL statement for that cursor to be moved from client code, into a PL/SQL stored proc. It abstracts the client from having to understand SQL, understand the data model and so on. All clients use the same PL/SQL proc and thus the same code for creating that cursor. Thus no issue of some clients getting it half right or half wrong and dealing with data inconsistencies between clients.
The PL/SQL proc can be tuned and optimised, modified for catering for data model changes and so on. Without your client code having to be even recompiled as it is isolated against these server changes.
For all other interaction (running PL/SQL code, doing insert/update/delete/etc SQL statements), you need to create the cursor yourself in your code.
Also, the SQL engine only sees cursors. There are no differences between cursors. The client (e.g. PL/SQL) can call it a reference cursor, or an implicit cursor, or a DBMS_SQL cursor.. the SQL engine does not know that and does not care.
A ref cursor is simply a special type of client interface to a SQL cursor, allowing PL/SQL to create that SQL cursor and then pass the handle of that SQL cursor to other code to consume that cursor.
Okay, so if you want to insert data, you need in your code to create a cursor. This can be a SQL INSERT cursor - the actual insert statement. Or it can be a PL/SQL call - an anonymous PL/SQL code block that calls a stored proc that performs the insert (after applying validation and business logic).
The cursor will have one or more bind variables. Your client will pass values for these variables and the server-side code (SQL or PL/SQL) will be executed using this as variable data.
You can for example create a cursor as follows:
begin
DoFunkyInsert( :1, :2, :3 );
end;
{code}
3 bind variables are expected. You can now in the client build an array for each of these variables, containing a 100 values each (total of a 100 rows to insert). Do a single execute of the cursor, and tell Oracle that the bind is actually a 100 element array.
The complete array ships to Oracle - Oracle opens a loop and execute the cursor for each element in the array.
This is called bulk binding.
An alternative approach is to define the bind variable as a collection (a non-scalar value). And then code the PL/SQL procedure to open a loop and iterate through the collection/array, inserting a row per iteration.
The binding itself is more complex as your code know needs to understand Oracle object types and be able to define an array/collection that is a valid Oracle non-scalar data type.
The +Oracle Call Interface+ (OCI) is quite flexible in this regard. However, as you work via an abstraction layer (e.g. ADO, OleDB, ODBC, etc) your code is subject to whatever functionality this abstraction layer makes available to your code. And this is seldom includes all the power, functionality and flexibility of the (more complex) OCI itself.

Using UDT's for passing rows to a PL/SQL procedure

I'm trying to get a list of rows into a procedure...
With ODP 11 - I thought that I would simply need to create a UDT of an object (i.e. user_id, first_name, last_name) and - then type which is a collection of that object.
Then - using that object type collection as a parameter in my procedure - pass the numerous rows from .NET in.
I've found a examples with varray's, nested varrays etc... but - nothing straight forward with passing a collection of rows.
Does anyone know of any online examples that illustrate this?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
A BLOB variable is just a pointer to binary data and you are passing a text string to your procedure which is why you have the error. So to write a blob into a table in a procedure you need something like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE testone(
V_TEXT IN VARCHAR2
AS
V_SIGIMG BLOB;
BEGIN
insert into sin_image values(empty_blob())
returning blobcol into V_SIGIMG;
-- then copy the text as binary data, this does not convert the text to binary data
DBMS_LOB.WRITE(V_SIGIMG,1,LENGTH(V_TEXT),v_TEXT);
commit;
END;
/However, if you want to upload images into the table it is easier to use the Apex functionality to upload the image into the APEX_APPLICATION_FILES table then move the blob into your table using an INSERT or UPDATE.

Passing variable values to pl/sql procedures

Hi,
I wanted to log the step name and message into a table whenever a particular step/interface failed in the ODI package.
Ex:PKG1
A----OK--->B----OK-->C--OK-->LOG SUCCESS status into table. All steps are sequenced.
when not OK
A----KO--->B----KO-->C--KO-->LOG failed status into table with step and message.
I have created 4 variables in ODI and used these vairables in to pass values in pl/sql procedure scenario.
I have drag and drop procedure scenario and given values to every variable...thing is for i want to get the step name dynamically for the procedure scenario's variable i am directly passing
v_int_step=odiRef.getPrevStepLog("STEP_NAME").
I dont want drag and drop procedure for each KO and then pass values to v_int_step=A or B or C .
My scenario command look like this for KO
OdiStartScen "-SCEN_NAME=PROC_LOGEXE_STATUS" "-SCEN_VERSION=-1" "-LOG_LEVEL=3" "-SYNC_MODE=1" "-SESSION_NAME=PROC_CSA_LOGEXE_STATUS_CS_BRANCHES" "-FLEXCUBE_OFSAA.v_execution_status=E" "-project1.v_scen_int_name=A" "-project1.v_batch_id=PKG_GLOBAL_MNT_HANDOFF" "-project1.v_step_name=odiRef.getPrevStepLog("STEP_NAME")"

Hi,
Mistakes i found in the script,
1. You need to pass the variables with the "-<YOUR PROJECT CODE>.VARIABLE NAME" which i suppose would be in UPPER CASE.
2. You need to pass OdiPrevStepLog with <%=%> enclosed. So your script will looks like,
OdiStartScen "-SCEN_NAME=PROC_LOGEXE_STATUS" "-SCEN_VERSION=-1" "-LOG_LEVEL=3" "-SYNC_MODE=1" "-SESSION_NAME=PROC_CSA_LOGEXE_STATUS_CS_BRANCHES" "-FLEXCUBE_OFSAA.v_execution_status=E" "-PROJECT1.v_scen_int_name=A" "-PROJECT1.v_batch_id=PKG_GLOBAL_MNT_HANDOFF" "-PROJECT1.v_step_name=<%=odiRef.getPrevStepLog( "STEP_NAME" )%>"
Thanks,

Passing a string into an SQL query IN statement

Hello,
I need to connect to a database to pull some data to dynamically create a form based on the data I pull back. My SQL query works fine when I manually run it through a SQL client tool, but when I try to pass it through my workflow I'm having trouble with passing my string into the IN part of the statement. So if for example my SQL query is:
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 FROM Table1 WHERE Field4 IN (?)
I have a process variable that has the string I'm trying to pass into the ?, but I don't seem to be able to get the query to run. I have tried setting up my query to run as a Parameterized Query (passing my string process variable into the ?), and by setting the query up through xPath (where I am calling my process variable with an xPath declaration), but am not having any luck.
The process variable I am trying to pass is formatted such that I'm passing 'Value1','Value2','Value3' but I can reformat this string if need be. Even with using test data I can't get the query to return anything. For test data I have tried: 'Value1','Value2','Value3' ; Value1','Value2','Value3 ; Value1,Value2,Value3 but the query never returns any data. I can't seem to see how to format the string to pass into the query. The Query will work with a single Value in the test data, but as soon as I try to pass multiple values within the string it fails. Any suggestions?

The problem looks to be a limit on what I can pass into the SQL query component. My string is coming from data returned from another database. I take the xml output from that database call, pass it through a set variable component to remove my xml tags from the string, and then format the string in a script component (I have to do it this way because of the way the data coming out of my first database call). I've put in loggers, and can see that the string I'm passing into my query that is giving me problems, is formatted the same way as if I were to use the concat function Scott listed above. It looks like there is a limitation on what can be passed in my variable. I have tried creating my entire SQL query statement in a set variable component, and then just calling the process variable that holds that statement, but there is a character limit of 128 character for what can be passed in a variable through xpath in the SQL query component.
The next thing I tried was changing my SQL where clause. Instead of passing my variable directly into the IN statement I set up a PATINDEX('%:'+countyname+ ':%', ?) > 0 call to check for the values in my database call. As you can see I took out the "," that I was passing as part of my string, thinking that the SQL component was getting confused by them, and placed ":" characters around my values being passed in my string variable. No matter what I try to do though I'm not able to get the query to run. The component looks like it is taking my string, and is seeing the whole thing as a string instead of passing it as individual values within a string.
I think I'm getting close, but I keep getting a Content not allowed in prolog exception in the server logs.

Passing user parameter into your sql query

I've created two user parameters...'Order_date_from' and 'Order_date_to'
I've written a simple query to list the total order amount, order number, party name and ordered date
Select sum ((unit_selling_price)*(ordered_quantity)), count(line_number), oe_order_headers_all.order_number, hz_parties.party_name, oe_order_headers_all.ordered_date
from oe_order_lines_all,
oe_order_headers_all,
hz_parties,
hz_cust_accounts
where oe_order_lines_all.header_id=oe_order_headers_all.header_id
and oe_order_headers_all.sold_to_org_id = hz_cust_accounts.cust_account_id
and hz_cust_accounts.party_id = hz_parties.party_id
group by order_number, party_name, ordered_date;
I want to know how I can pass the value for the above mentioned parameters into my sql query so that it reflects as the 'ordered_date' in the report and only shows the data for the dates that the user inputs.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Passing arrays through multiple PL/SQL procedures and functions

I am maintaining a large PL/SQL application. There is a main procedure that is initially called which subsequently passes information to other PL/SQL functions and procedures. In the end an error code and string is passed to PUT_LINE so it can be displayed. What I would like to be able to do is have an array that stores an error code and string for each error that it comes upon during going through each of the procedures and functions. This would involve passing these codes and strings from function to function within the pl/sql application. What would be the best way to implement this and is it possible to pass arrrays or records to other PL/SQL functions? Thanks.

How to pass a parameter into a sql expression?

How to pass a report parameter into a sql expression?

Hi Donald,
The functionality of using a parameter in a function is only available in the formula editor and not in SQL Expression. Parameters cannot be passed to the SQL Expression, the main purpose of the SQL Expression is to make use of Database functions to make calculations at the database level but the current functionality of the product only allows you to use Database fields.
There is an article that talks on SQL Expressions and can be useful http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2016184&sliceId=&dialogID=6018612&stateId=1%200%206020316

EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, BUT when I move type "my_type" into package header
TYPE my_type IS TABLE OF number;
I receive error after calling procedure
java.sql.SQLException: invalid name pattern: MY_USER.MY_TYPE
I dropped type my_type after moving it into package. So there is only one my_type, in the package.
User who call procedure is owner of the package.
So questions are:
1. Is it possible to have my_type within package without error?
2. Is it possible to describe my_type without having a connection to database? My aim is eliminate number of connections to database.
Thanks all.
Matus.

You can't use the packaged type for this. You need to use the original collection type (i.e. via the CREATE TYPE syntax) as you have discovered yourself.

Update the passed XML in a PL/SQL procedure and then use DBMS_XMLSAVE

hi folks,
This is a great forum and most of you guys were awesome in replying to complex queries........
I have a small issue, I am trying to do a bulk insert from my application by constructing an XML result set and pass that XML to the SP as a CLOB and using DBMS_XMLSAVE package to insert it to the oracle table. It works like a charm for me when this is as straight forward as this. But when my requirement is, I need to generate sequence numbers for a particular column (Primary key column), while for other columns I pass values from the UI (as a XML object which my SP accepts as a CLOB), i am at a loss for solution to achieve this. It would mean, that I have to generate the sequence numbers for each row and then update this value to the passed XML clob. Any indicators on how to achieve this?
I found this solution at one of the thread which might most probably help me,
declare
2 l_cnt number;
3 begin
4 select count(*) into l_cnt from books,xmltable('/Books/Book' passing object_value);
5 for i in 1..l_cnt loop
6 update books set object_value =
7 updatexml(object_value,'/Books/Book['||i||']/BookID', xmlelement("BookID",sequence_bookid.nextval))
8 where existsnode(object_value,'/Books/Book['||i||']')=1;
9 end loop;
10 end;
11 /
But here, they are trying to update a XMLTable book, but in my case the XML is a clob object and not a XML table. Will this solution work for my case as well? Please provide any pointers to me... Thanks...

First if your version of Oracle has DBMS_XMLSTORE, use that instead.
Reason: {thread:id=876376} (See Marco's response).
It is possible you could run into issues, but you should start with DBMS_XMLSTORE.
Since you will have the XML in the SP, treat the data as an XMLType instead of a CLOB for as long as you can since you need to do UpdateXML on it.
For your sample PL/SQL code, lines 4-5 are replaced with the WHILE loop shown in Method 2 at
{message:id=3610259}.
The UPDATE would be replaced with the following pseudocode
SELECT UPDATEXML(<l_xmltype_variable>, ...)
INTO <l_xmltype_variable>
FROM dual;
Once your loop is done, l_xmltype_variable would contain your updated XML and then you can use that XMLType directly on the call to DBMS_XMLSTORE or convert it back to a clob via
l_clob_variable := l_xmltype_variable.getClobVal();

How to pass a parameter into execute sql task and later use it into dataflow task?

i am in a situation, where i have a logging table in which i have a primary key called ETL_log_ID which is an identity column and acts as a foreign key for various fact table and dimension tables which are populated using SSIS packages. Now i wanna use the
ETL_log_ID as a parameter in the execute sql task which populates the log table and pass the same value in the data flow task which populates the facts and dimension. Can you let me know how to pass the parameter in a step by step procedure.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Nikhil,
You can check the following :

Regarding the usage in Dataflow task, Can you elaborate on that a little?
Thanks,

A 'file' is a file system entity. There is no way to pass a 'file' anywhere. Not PL/SQL. Not java.
Now you can pass a file path (a string) in java and to PL/SQL.
Or you can pass xml data (a string) in java and to PL/SQL. For PL/SQL you could use eithe a varchar2, if the xml is rather small, or a blob/clob.
