Passing series of value to a stored proc

I call a stored proc from an ASP page (VBScript or Jscript) via ADO and I need to give to this proc a series of value.
The proc as to execute a query that look like
select a_Column from a_Table
where a_TableId in (My_Series)
I would like to pass My_Series as a single parameter.
Could I declare My_Series as something like an array ?
or a string like ( 'A', 'B' , , 'C') ?

  • How to pass a refcursor to a java stored proc

    Hi all,
    Please forgive me as I am new to Java and JDeveloper....
    I want to pass a refcursor to a java stored proc. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    dayneo

    Hi,
    As Avi has indicated, you can map ref cursor to java.sql.ResultSet
    here are Call Specs and a code snippet from chapter 3 in my book.
    procedure rcproc(rc OUT EmpCurTyp)
    as language java
    name 'refcur.refcurproc(java.sql.ResultSet[])';
    function rcfunc return EmpCurTyp
    as language java
    name 'refcur.refcurfunc() returns java.sql.ResultSet';
    * Function returning a REF CURSOR
    public static ResultSet refcurfunc () throws SQLException
    Connection conn = null;
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:kprb:");
    ((OracleConnection)conn).setCreateStatementAsRefCursor(true);
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    ((OracleStatement)stmt).setRowPrefetch(1);
    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select * from EMP order by empno");
    // fetch one row
    if (rset.next())
    System.out.println("Ename = " + rset.getString(2));

  • Parsing Column Value. SQL / Stored Proc/ Function ?

    Hi,
    I just started writing SQL. Need your valuable input for the following query,
    Need to query a table and parse a column to produce a desired output.
    like suppose my column value is
    #ADFA
    /SDFGAS
    {ABC}: 123
    {BCA}: 456
    {DEF}: 789
    and i need to get an out put as follows
    {ABC} {BCA} {DEF}
    123 456 789
    so the patterns are defined.
    I some how tried and reached through SQL, but there should be better way than this. So posted this question.
    I tried using SQL itself (using substr, instr & decode functions in the select statement)... with out using stored proc/ function as i have not created one earlier.. I am just learning the syntax and trying it.
    The psuedo code i have planned is
    function substring(column_value, search_string)
    var start_index NUMBER;
    var end_index NUMBER;
    var result VARCHAR2;
    result = 'N/A';
    start_index = instr(column_value, search_string) + 4
    if start_index >= 4
    end_index = instr(substr(column_value, 0, start_index), CHR(13)-1)
    if start_index >= 4 && end_index >=0
    result = substr(column_value, start_index, end_index);
    return result;
    I just wrote it like writing in a programming language. Need to implement this through Stored Proc/ Function. Please let me know your comment on this

    Oops, I think regular expressions are not available in my current oracle version :-(
    I am having Oracle 9i.
    Got it.. Yes it is available from 10G onwards.. :-(

  • Passing array of timestamps into oracle stored proc

    Hey there,
    I have an interesting problem. I need to pass an array of java.sql.Timestamp into a stored proc.
    I see that the PreparedStatement provides a setArray() method which takes as arguments an int, java.sql.Array
    Anybody know how I can use the java.sql.Array to my advantage here ? Basically, I don't see how I can create a java.sql.Array of Timestamps
    thanks in advance for all your help.
    Manish Mandelia

    The java.sql.Array implementation is provided by your jdbc driver.
    For exemple using Oracle you can obtain an sql.Array with something like this :
    Connection con=getConnection() // get a connection to the DB
    //first declare what type of array you will use in the DB
    // you probably want to replace CHAR(7) by Timestamp here
    PreparedStatement createArray=
    con.prepareStatement("CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE MYARRAY AS VARRAY(100) OF CHAR(7)");
    createArray.execute();          
    //then get an java instance of this Array
    oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor arrayDescriptor = oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("MYARRAY",con);
    // content is used to fill the Array
    String[] content= {"string0", "string1"};
    java.sql.Array sqlArray=new oracle.sql.ARRAY(arrayDescriptor, con, content);               
    // then call your stored procedure
    java.sql.CallableStatement callStmt=con.prepareCall("call MyStoredProcedure(?)");
    // passing the array as an argument
    callStmt.setArray(1,sqlArray);
    callStmt.execute();
    As you can see the code is quite database specific.
    hope that helps.

    WHERE itemnum = TRIM(item_in) AND ROWNUM = 1;
    It looks a lot like you are trying to rely on a sort order imposed on the data as it is inserted into the table to identify a particular record for a given item_in. If so, that's very dangerous, but it's nothing that can't be fixed. Let us know ...

  • Passing parameters from Excel to SQL stored proc. to analyse resultset in PowerPivot

    Hi,
    Not sure if I posted this question at the right forum ...
    I would like to implement the following scenario:
    - Enter parameters @startdate and @enddate in cells in an Excel worksheet (i.e. cell A2 has the value for the startdate parameter; cell B2 has the value for the endate parameter).

    Hi,
    According to your description, I think you want to call a store procedure in PowerPivot with the parameters which are stored in the cells of an Excel workbook.
    Are you using the PowerPivot add-in in Excel or PowerPivot in SQL Server?
    This forum is to discuss problems of Office development such as VBA, VSTO, Apps for Office .etc. If you are using Excel PowerPivot, since it is an add-in for Excel and it doesn't publish API for us, we cannot automatically call a stored procedure in Excel.
    We can get the data from Cells A2 and B2 with code, but it's hard to set it as the parameters of a SP when calling it from PowerPivot. About calling a SP from Excel manually, you could post in
    Excel IT pro forum for more effective responses.
    If you are using PowerPivot in SQL Server, I'm afraid your issue is more related to the feature of PowerPivot. We can get data from SQL Server database into Excel workbook, but I'm not sure whether we can get data from Excel cells in SQL Server. So I suggest
    you posting in
    SQL Server PowerPivot forum for more effective responses.

  • Resultset of main report passed as parameter to child report stored proc

    Post Author: chicagolad
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    I seem to be in a bind with this issue. I have a main report and sub report. The main report takes in a comma seperated value as a parameter to the stored procedure. The result set of which is used to group 20 sub reports. These subreports use a different stored procedure to which I need to send the group value which is a part of the result set table I get for the main report. Come what may, I am not able to link the main report with the sub report.
    To repeat the question, how do i pass the a result column of the main report as parameter to the sub report stored procedure? Any insight will be much appreciated.
    TIA
    chicagolad

    Raghavendra,
        It seems that no matter what I do, using the parameter ?TagNumber as the item to link from in the main report (Subreport Links) will not give any results no matter which item I link to in the subreport, but if I use the specific data item that the parameter represents, then any of the choices in the lower left "subreport parameter field to use" will work.  So I can simply use the specific data item and everything works fine. It's strange, as last week using the parameter of the main report worked, but as I have a working solution I don't have to resolve that.  (There was data for the parameter value,as I printed the parameter value in the report and the selected value was shown.).
       This is now resolved.  Thanks for your help.

  • Passing int[] parameter to PL/SQL stored proc via SQLJ

    This should be easy. I want to pass an array of Java integers i.e. int[] as an IN parameter to a PL/SQL stored procedure that expects a TABLE OF INTEGER.
    But SQLJ keeps giving me an error when I try to call the procedure, saying that int[] is an unsupported Java type.
    Is this true? Is it really impossible to pass a simple int array into a PL/SQL procedure via SQLJ?
    All help will be gratefully received.
    Chris

    Yes, you cannot pass int[], since index-by-tables are not supported by either JDBC or by SQLJ.
    (Well, I lied just a little bit: if you use an 8.1.7 or later JDBC-OCI driver, then there is some support for scalar index-by-tables. But not with thin, kprb drivers, or with SQLJ.)

  • How to set variable values in Stored Procs

    Hi all,
    please excuse my newbie questions - I've spent too long using SQL Server......
    Anyway,
    I'm playing with SP basics and was wondering how I can set a variable value in a stored proc, ideally getting a value from a table or some select .
    for instance...........
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE RPT_SP_ANT_TESTING
    P1 IN NUMBER,
    P2 IN VARCHAR2
    IS
    TmpNum NUMBER;
    TmpStr VARCHAR2(255);
    BEGIN
    --How do set these?
    SET TMPNUM := SELECT Count( * ) FROM ALL_TABLES;
    SET TMPSTR := P2 + '_APPENDED';
    INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE
    ( STRINGFIELD, NUMBERFIELD )
    VALUES
    ( TmpStr, TMPNUM )
    END;
    Regards
    DC

    Some ways are...
    setting directly
    x := 1;
    setting from a select use INTO clause
    select 1 into x from dual
    setting from a select into a collection type use BULK COLLECT INTO
    select name bulk collect into lName from your_table.
    It would be better if you read the document.

  • Unable to pass the values to stored proc using presentation variable in OBI

    Hi All,
    Need your help regarding in resolving an issue in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1
    There is an OBIEE requirement whereby two prompts need to be defined.
    1.     Textbox prompt
    2.     Drop-down prompt
    The dropdown values should be populated using textbox prompt. So, we have used presentation variable in textbox prompt and passing the same to select query of drop-down.
    Until this step, the report works just fine.
    Now, the value in both textbox and drop-down needs to be passed to stored proc.
    While trying to pass the values by using the presentation variable, the following error comes-up saying
    Session variable has no value definition.
    Note:Although the corresponding session variable has been set to default value,still the error appears.
    Please advise.
    Regards,
    Prasad

    "Session variable has no value definition" I'm assuming typo error and it should be presentation variable.
    Set default value for presentation variable that may work

  • To pass new session variable value to stored proc before running a report.

    Hi,
    Below is summary of the report requirement -
    Database level design
    1. Created a view and a global temporary table (GTT)
    2. Created an Oracle package procedure to accept from and to business dates on basis of which it will fetch, process and populate the GTT.

    2. Created two SESSION variables "from_dt" and "to_dt" to be initialized by their respective init blocks. Each of the variable is initialized with a DATE column value (of type DATETIME) from a database lookup table. I have also set the option "Enable that variable to be set by any user" for both variables.

    Current business date:@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.from_dt']} Future business dt:@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.to_dt']}
    Dates get displayed in YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00 format
    The text msg displays these default dates and allows the user to specift different date range for which i create prompts as shown below.
    2. Using any random two columns of date type from the business model, i create two date dashboard prompts with labels "From Dt" and "To Dt".
    i select Calender Controls for both; setting Default To = Report Defaults.
    The Set Variable is set to Presentation variables - such that pv_from_dt maps to "From Dt" and pv_to_dt maps to "To Dt".
    3. i create the report using the business model created above. In the report "Advanced Tab" => "Prefix" field i specify the following -
    SET VARIABLE from_dt='@{pv_from_dt}',to_dt='@{pv_to_dt}';
    Note : The logic here is to display the default dates and allow user to specify different date values which will be stored in presentation variables.
    If the user does specify different "from dt" and "to dt" values, then using the presentation variables, i want to "write" back these new values to the corresponding session variables mentioned above.
    If the user does not specify different date range, then the default/initialized dates must be considered.
    I also display the default and new date values in the report title.
    Back to Repository level design
    To execute the stored procedure that will load the GTT before running the report I need to pass two date parameters to the stored procedure on basis of which it will fetch data, process and populate the GTT.
    In the Connection Pool --> Connection Script Tab --> Execute before query, I wrote the below query using the repository variables FROM_DT and TO_DT to execute the procedure -
    DECLARE
    v_from_dt date;
    v_to_dt date;
    BEGIN
    v_from_dt := VALUEOF(From_Dt);
    v_to_dt := VALUEOF(To_Dt);
    package_name1.package_body(v_from_dt,v_to_dt);
    END;
    Now when i try to run the report i get the following error :
    [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.to_dt, has no value definition. (HY000)..
    Need help on this.
    Is it possible to "write back" a new value to a session variable ?
    Any other alternatives.
    Thanks

    Sandeep, I found a several topics where users describe saving values in DB through stored procedure or function. For example, [How to store OBIEE presentation level variable values in DB |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=892006] I tried it and get an error
    *10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 14551, message: ORA-14551: cannot perform a DML operation inside a query ORA-06512*
    It's not a BI error. This error are generated by Oracle DB. If I write next:
    SELECT MyPLSQLFunction(p1,p2) FROM DUAL
    I get the same error.
    Oracle doesn't allow DML operations in SELECT.
    Did you relalize this feature yourself? Where did I mistake?
