Passing parameters to pl/sql procedure called in portal

Hi all,
I am trying to use a javascript window.open function to create a small popup window that is populated by a pl/sql procedure from inside portal.
I am trying to pass it a parameter to refine a SQL query running in that procedure, unfortunately I'm not sure of the syntax. The url that I'm trying to open in the new window looks like this:
http://my.server.com:7777/portal/pls/portal/myschema.mypackage.myprocedure
If I just run this, it works fine and the popup window opens correctly and displays all results. If I try to pass a parameter, it errors out with a 404 Page Not Found.
The parameter itself comes from a text field that the user can enter a value into. I am able to get the value of that text field and append it to the url I'm generating, but I can't find the proper syntax.
I've tried numerous syntax variants, but none of them seem to work. The procedure does have the parameter defined in both the spec and body and properly handles it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
-Mike Markiw

You said you have a text field where a user enters a value, so I am assuming that you have form...
you can try following
<form action="/pls/portal/myschema.mypackage.myprocedure" method="post">
your text field "inVar"
your submit button
</form>
I am sure your myprocedure has inVar as an input...
If you just want to pass a value to a procedure you can always do following:
http://my.server.com:7777/portal/pls/portal/myschema.mypackage.myprocedure?inVar=the value

Passing parameters to PL/SQL function called in VO

Hi,
I am writing a VO that is calling a PL/SQL function. The VO query looks like this.
select xx_dummy_func (:1,:2) from dual
Now, how can I assign these two parameter values at run time?
Generally when we have a query parameters We do xxVO.setwhereclauseparam. But in the above scenario, its not a whereclause but instead a procedure parameter. Please let me know how to do it.
Thanks in advance,

Thats correct, basically, setwherecaluse param api, just replaces bind variables with the index values, whereever they are in the query!

Passing Queries to PL/SQL procedures

Hi,
Is there any way in PL/SQL procedure that i can pass two Queries Texts as parameters and return the result set by taking MINUS of the rwo Query results.
Thanx in Advace

Here is the principle...
SQL> conn scott/tiger
Connected.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION qry_minus

3     RETURN sys_refcursor
4 IS

6 BEGIN
7     OPEN return_value FOR p1||' MINUS '||p2;
8     RETURN return_value;

Function created.
SQL> VAR q refcursor
SQL> exec :q := qry_minus('SELECT deptno FROM dept', 'SELECT deptno FROM emp')
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print q
    DEPTNO
        40
SQL> Obviously because the query is text strings the calling program is responsible for ensuring the validity of the two queries (matching number and datatype of selected columns, etc).

Passing parameters to PL/SQL table types

Hi Everybody,
I have one question about passing PL/SQL tables types and tabs as IN parameter in procedure.I am working in 11.2.0.2.0 environment. I am stuck on how to pass those values to procedure.Please find below more details:
Table 1:
CREATE TABLE ITEMS
ITEM_ID VARCHAR2(40 BYTE) NOT NULL,
ITEM_NAME VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
SERIAL NUMBER(2),
ADDED_ON DATE);
Table 2:
CREATE TABLE ITEM_ACTIVITY_INFO
ITEM_ID VARCHAR2(40 BYTE) NOT NULL,
ACCOUNT_TYPE VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
ID_NUMBER NUMBER(3),
ACTIVATION_DATE DATE);
Table 3:
CREATE TABLE ITEM_GROUP
GROUP_ID NUMBER(2) NOT NULL,
ITEM_ID VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
GROUP_TYPE VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
GROUP_DATE DATE);
Table 4:
CREATE TABLE ITEM_ADDRESS
GROUP_ID NUMBER(2) NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR2(60 BYTE),
ADDRESS VARCHAR2(100));
Following types are created:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ITEMS_TYPE AS OBJECT
ITEM_ID VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
ITEM_NAME VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
SERIAL NUMBER(2),
ADDED_ON DATE);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ITEM_ACTIVITY_TYPE AS OBJECT
ITEM_ID VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ITEM_GROUP_COMP_TAB AS TABLE OF ITEM_GROUP_COMP_TYPE;
Create or replace procedure ITEM_ADD_CHANGE(
ITEM_IN IN ITEMS_TYPE,
ITEM_ACTIVITY_IN IN ITEM_ACTIVITY_TYPE,
ITEM_GROUP_IN IN ITEM_GROUP_COMP_TAB,
ITEM_OUT IN OUT ITEMS.ITEM_ID%TYPE);
Above are the paramteres we are passing to procedure.
I need help in how to pass parameters to above procedure. All comments and responses will be highly appreciated. Thanks everyone for going through the post. Please let me know if more more information is required on this problem.

Types used in this fashion, only make sense if the table is based on the type. It makes very little sense to have a table structure and then to duplicate the structure using a type.
The 2 structures may be defined the same. But they are NOT interchangeable and requires one to be converted to the other to use. This is not sensible in my view. It is far easier in that case to simply use the PL/SQL macro +%RowType+ to create a duplicate structure definition - one that can natively be used for touching that table, without conversions required.
If you do want to use types, define the type, then define the table of that type, adding the required constraints (pk, fk, not null, check) to the table's definition.Billy:
Just curious, why do you say it makes very little sense to have a type modeled on a table? I do that a lot. In my case, I am getting the values from an external program, not building them manually, but it makes a lot of sense to me.
One application where I do this a lot has a java front-end that parses HL7 messages. Each message contains at least minimal information about a variable number of entities (and often several rows for an entity) in the database, and must be processed as a single atomic trasnaction. So, rather than have potentially hundreds of parameters to the "main" driver procedures for different message types I created a set of types more or less identical to the tables representing the entities. The java program parses the mesasge and populates the type, then calls the appropriate stored procedure for the message type passing in the populated types. My stored procedure then does inserts/updates or deletes as appropriate over potentially dozens of tables.

Parameters to pl/sql procedure on item?

OK, it seems like this should be obvious, but I'm not getting it...
I've created a custom Item type with a PL/SQL procedure. I've defined the procedure to accept the item id and site id as parameters. When the user clicks on the procedure link, the request URL looks like this:
http://je2975/pls/portalj/HMSY_PORTAL.VIEW_CRYSTAL_REPORT?caid=135&id=3818
What should the 'VIEW_CRYSTAL_REPORT' procedure look like in order to read those parameters?
Are they parameters to the procedure in the typical PL/SQL sense? Do I need to get them from wwpro_api_parameters? If so, where do I find the reference path?
Thanks!
null

I've even tried this now without any parameters, and there seems to be something even more basic that I'm missing.
I have the procedure published, with no paramters, I added the missing schema prefix, so the URL now looks like:
http://je2975/pls/portalj/PORTALJ.HMSY_PORTAL.VIEW_CRYSTAL_REPORT
But I'm still getting a 404 file not found.
What am I missing?
Thanks again...

PL/SQL Procedure Calling Java Host Command Problem

This is my first post to this forum so I hope I have chosen the correct one for my problem. I have copied a java procedure to call Unix OS commands from within a PL/SQL procedure. This java works well for some OS commands (Eg ls -la) however it fails when I call others (eg env). Can anyone please give me some help or pointers?
The java is owned by sys and it looks like this
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "ExecCmd" AS
//ExecCmd.java
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
//import java.util.ArrayList;
public class ExecCmd {
static public String[] runCommand(String cmd)
throws IOException {
// set up list to capture command output lines
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
// start command running
System.out.println("OS Command is: "+cmd);
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
// get command's output stream and
// put a buffered reader input stream on it
InputStream istr = proc.getInputStream();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(istr));
// read output lines from command
String str;
while ((str = br.readLine()) != null)
list.add(str);
// wait for command to terminate
try {
proc.waitFor();
catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.err.println("process was interrupted");
// check its exit value
if (proc.exitValue() != 0)
System.err.println("exit value was non-zero: "+proc.exitValue());
// close stream
br.close();
// return list of strings to caller
return (String[])list.toArray(new String[0]);
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
try {
// run a command
String outlist[] = runCommand(args[0]);
for (int i = 0; i < outlist.length; i++)
System.out.println(outlist);
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println(e);
The PL/SQL looks like so:

Kamal,
Thanks for that. I have tried to use getErrorStream and it does give me more info. It appears that some of the commands cannot be found. I suspected that this was the case but I am not sure about how this can be as they all appear to reside in the same directory with the same permissions.

Why dont you use a Prepared Statement ? That way you will be able to input values to the SQL.

Passing PL/SQL Procedure call to custom explain plan script

Hi,
Oracle have sent me a custom explain plan script and have asked me to pass in my problematic code through it. They use the GET command in their script to retrieve the command which is passed in as a parameter e.g:
@custom_explain_plan <my sql script>
The script has a section as follows:
get &&1 -- my script
0 explain plan set statement_id = 'APG' into plan_table for
This works for a standard SQL statement e.g. SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL but (and Oracle Support know this) my issue is triggered by a call to an e-Business Suite API that updates the database. This is contained within a PL/SQL block and COMMITs a few sample updates. I've not used explain plan before but I suspect it can only be used on SQL statements? I have no access to the DELETEs and INSERTs that the API triggers, so what am I supposed to do?
Am I missing something or have Oracel Support sold me a pup?
I thought I'd post here first before going back to them...
Many thanks,
Bagpuss

Sybrand,
Many thanks for the swift confirmation. I didn't think I was going mad! Already gave them a standard trace so I guess it's up to them now - my experience with Oracle Support in the last few years has been very deflating - they evidently do not read/understand much of the information they are given in an SR. Added to that, we've had patches from them with basic syntax errors! I've consistently received much more informed responses from the various OTN forums, which are much appreciated.
I may construct the DELETE and INSERT statements dynamically myself using a typical employee record to at least give them something to ponder over...
Thanks again,
Bagpuss.

Passing parameters in an sql call to a function

hello gurus
i have a simple function that outputs the first x natural integers..
create or replace function first_numbers (x number default 10) return varchar2
is
var varchar2(100);
begin
var := null;
for i in 1..x
loop
var := var||to_char(i)||'-';
end loop;
return rtrim(var,'-');
end;
i would like to use it in an sql call, like this
select first_numbers (5)
from dual --(it works)
but it doesn't work if i pass the parameter in this way
select first_numbers (x=>5)
from dual --(it DOESNT' work)
i understand that it can't be possible because i am working in a sql environment while the call with the "=>" is typical in a pl sql environment.. would like to know if there is a workaround ..
thanks in advance

What do you actually need a workaround for? What's actually wrong with doing it without that notation?

Passing array to pl/sql procedure - pls-00306 wrong number/types of args

its oracle 10.2 database;
I have a procedure with array parameters based on simple sql types.
eg
create or replace type vt_attrname is table of varchar2(50);
Now my call to the procedure works when the array is empty;
as soon as I bulk collect into my local array, I get a compilation error.
eg
declare
my_array vt_attrname;
begin
select label
bulk collect
into my_array
from table_name
where 1=1;
my_proc(p_array=>my_array); -- syntax error
end;if I pass null the call works but obviously array is empty.
I have read something about varray's being incompatible between sqltypes and pl/sql.
How do I get around this problem?
The bulk collect is working okay.
A small example would be appreciated.

Yep, I spotted the syntax error earlier.
However even though that seems to compile ok, I still get the problem with my package call.
heres the actual call from the code
vt_attrname and vt_attrvalues are types declared on another schema.
I have redeclared them on the current schema now.
create or replace type vt_attrname is table of varchar2(50);
create or replace type vt_attrvalue is table of varchar2(500);
create procedure <name>

How do I get return parameters from a stored procedure call?

The Open SQL Statement has an option on the Advanced tab to specify a command type of 'stored procedure'. In addition to returning a recordset, a stored procedure can also return parameters (see http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q185/1/25.ASP for info on doing this with ADO). Is it possible to get those return parameters with TestStand? In particular, I want to be able to get error codes back from the stored procedure in case it fails (maybe there is another way).

The Open SQL Statement step type does not fully support stored procedures. If the procedure returns a record set than you can fetch the values as you would a SELECT statement. Stored procedures require you to setup the parameters before the call and this is not yet supported. Bob, in his answer, made a reference to the Statements tab and I think that he was talking about the Database Logging feature in TS 2.0.
If the stored procedure is returning a return value, it may return as a single column, single row recordset which can be fetched as you normally do a record set.

MS SQL Procedure Call from Oracle Database

I have Oracle Database 11g connected to MS Sql Server 2008 via dg4msql, and need to execute procedure on MS Sql with parameters from Oracle, and get dataset (table) as a result.
I'm not sure is it possible to call procedure directly from Oracle; One solution would be make function on MS SQL, and put select on procedure from Oracle, but what with parameters?
Is there some possibility to call this procedure from Oracle and get this dataset as a cursor?
Thanks in advance!
Edited by: mihaelradovan on 2012.04.26 14:35

Yes, of course I have DB Link in Oracle and procedure in SQL Server.
Btw, I can select data from SQL Server table.
I made one function in SQL Server, and I can not make select on this function, but in SQL Server I made view as select * from function_name, and select on this view from Oracle works. But problem is I have to call this procedure or function with parameters, and with view I can not do this.
So, I must call procedure or function with parameters directly. I made all by the book (Oracle® Database Gateway for SQL Server User’s Guide), but probably I miss something...

Are you hoping to use JDBC or ODBC to pass this array? If JDBC, I'd suggest asking this question on the JDBC forum.

Passing parameters to the SQL Report from a text box in jsp

Hi All,
I want to dynamically generate the SQL Server Reporting Services by passing the query parameter from the url like this :
"http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fDashboardReports%2fHorse_Profile&rs:Command=Render&rs:HorseID=117415"
Where horseid id my parameter which is needed by report to generate the required data.
This query paramter value is picked from the text box on my jsp page.
But my problem is when i go to this url it says the message
"The 'HorseID' parameter is missing a value ".
I have done a lot of search on this topic. Everybody says that we can pass the values from the url like i am using. But still its not working.
Any body has any idea please give me some idea.

If you receive a picture via email or text message in ios 7 and when you press the action icon to save the picture and you do not get the option to save to your camera roll. Press and hold on the the image and you will get an overlay pop up to save the image. I have no idea why some attachments don't have option in action menu to save in the camera roll but by experimentation and earned frustration I found the above to work in certain situations.
Be well and have fun and feel rewarded in your frustrations. For without challenges, life would be an utter bore.
