PL/SQL stored procedure and passing queries
Hi all.
This is a really "newbie"-type question....sorry !
I have written a PL/SQL procedure which takes a query (as varchar2) as an argument and returns the result in xml as a clob.
ie: SELECT returnXML('SELECT * FROM test_table') FROM DUAL;
This works fine, however how do I pass a query that also contains single quotes ?? I have tried escaping them in C-style with backslashes, but to no avail. As an example, I'd like to pass the following query to my procedure:
SELECT * FROM test_table WHERE name='TEST' AND id='200'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kristian.
Try doubling up the quotes, ie
SELECT returnXML('SELECT * FROM test_table WHERE name=''TEST'' AND id=''200''') FROM DUAL;

Support a singly report on SQL Stored Procedure and Oracle Stored Procedure
Hi,
I have a requirement in which I need to create a report that will run both on oracle and sql server.
Report is designed as follows.
Main report contain 2 sub-reports.Sub-reports are based on stored procedure that takes three input parameters(beginDate,endDate and hostname which is a comma-separated string).
Main report also have three parameters (beginDate,endDate and hostnameList) that I am linking with both sub-reports.
Since the crystal picks the same name of the parameter as we define in procedure it showing '@' symbol in all the parameters when I change the datasoure from oracle to sql server and that's why sub reports defined in main report loose all the linking and same happens when I switch from sql to oracle since in case of oracle it does not have '@' symbol in variable name.
How can I have one report that work with both DBs without loosing the links.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
AmritaThere is no way of doing this in CR. At least not that I've ever heard of anyway.
If you REALLY need to make this work and it REALLY has to be just 1 report... Here is what I'd do...
In the SQL Server database, add a new table that contains the same columns that are being returned by the sp's. If you can't add new tables to the database, use a different database or server...
Create a Linked Server linking the Oracle db to SQL Server. (If you take the 3rd server rout, do the same with the SQL Server)
Write a new sp that will accept the {?WhichServer} parameter and populate the new table with the result set.
Then just query that table for your report.
I know this probably isn't the rout you were wanting to take but it should work...

Two related questions: using htmldb_Get to call stored procedure and passing in an array of items
I have the need to save dynamically generated ApEx items via AJAX. I am using APEX_ITEM API to generate the items. At run-time, I have no idea how many of items will be generated on the page, but I know that they will all have discreet and distinct "name" attributes, i.e. f01, f02, f03, etc. As a basic example, if I have to generate a select list, I know that the "p_idx" parameter of the APEX_ITEM call is say "3", so all select lists that get generated will have a "name" attribute in the DOM of "f03", all text items will be "f01", etc.
I want to save this data to the database via AJAX. It is typical to call the standard htmldb_Get javascript function for use of an on-demand process, but I am interested in using the rarely-called-upon "procedure" and queryString" options of that javascript function so that I can build the queryString on the fly based on what is on the DOM when the tries to save the data they entered into these APEX_ITEM-generated items. Does anyone have any good examples of how to use the "procedure" and "queryString" parameters of the htmldb_Get javascript function?
I have found a smattering of some blogs, posts, etc. online related to this, but mostly just people regurgitating the documentation. I found this post (https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2549237) which had a glimpse of hope to be able to pass an array (which is something I will need) as a parameter, but would like someone to sanity check this before I go down that road.
Shane.
ApEx 4.2.1Shane
Since you mention you are on APEX 4.2 I would recommend using apex.server.process which is the documented replacement of the officially undocumented htmldb_Get.
In the documentation it is set that the first parameter is the ajaxidentifier but it actually is the process name.
The data object would be something like
var lData ={f01 : get_value_array('f01')}
Where get_value_array is
function get_value_array(pColumnName) {
var l_values =[];
apex.jQuery('[name="'+pColumnName+'"]').each(
function(){
var l_value;
l_value = apex.item(this.id).getValue();
l_values.push(l_value);
return l_values
For a working example see this demo.

Creating a SQL Stored procedure to call a CF function
I need to create a method to migrate data from a DMZ inside a firewall. To do this I was thinking of making a call from the DMZ web server (using CF) to an internal SQL server database stored procedure. The stored procedure would then call a CF template on the internal web server to pull data inside the firewall. Not my first choice on implementation but as a consultant I don’t make the rules I create the code to enforce them... Anyway these are the steps I need to follow.
1.) Call the stored procedure and pass an int value with the call.
2.) The Stored procedure calls a URL and passes the INT with it. I.E. http://Mylocalhost/Xferdata/MyXferTemplate.cfm?MyIntValue=”PASSED IN INT VALUE”
3.) The MyXferTemplate does the actual data migration for me.
My question is how do I create a simple stored procedure to do this on SQL Server 2008??? After looking at the CF documentation I don’t think there will be much of a problem making the call to the stored procedure… its just writing the stored procedure… Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!

Can't create valid PL/SQL stored procedure
I have two questions about PL/SQL and JDBC:
Question 1: I'm trying to create and execute a PL/SQL stored procedure, and I can't seem to get the syntax right. I'm trying to create the simplest stored proc I can. Here's the stored procedure:
create or replace procedure test( inParam char(20) ) is
begin
select inParam from dual;
end;
When I try to execute it, I'm getting the error:
PLS-00905: object TEST is invalid
The creation of the proc, and the execution are being done using the same login.
Question2: Once I get the stored procedure created, I want to call it from a JDBC application. Is this the correct syntax:
CallableStatement stmt = connection.prepareCall("begin test('abc'); end;");
or can I use the standard JDBC escape sequence:
CallableStatement stmt = connection.prepareCall("{ call test('abc'); }");
Thanks for your help,
JeffForgot to mention, I'm using TimesTen 11.2.1.4.

Hi,
I'm new to SharePoint 2013 I want to be able to query a MSSQL database from a SharePoint App I have tried to create an External Content Type (ECT) which is produced from a MSSQL stored Procedure, this procedure has several parameters which are needed to
filter the data correctly. From here I want to produce an external list which I can then query from a c# SharePoint app. If I leave the filters in the ECT null then the list is of course empty or if enter a default values the results are limited
for the app to query so are no good.
I want to dynamically pass values to the ECT when querying from the app, is this not possible. Should I just be returning everything in an external list and then letting the query in the app filter the data, this seems inefficient?
Is this the best way to do this or should I be doing this differently?
Please can someone point me in the right direction.
ThanksHi Pandra801,
When you create a the external content type, please try to add a filter based on your select statement.
http://arsalkhatri.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/external-list-with-bcs-search-filters-finders/
Or, try to create a stored procedure based on your select statement, then create ECT using the SQL stored procedure.

Pass date range parameter to SQL stored procedure.
Hi,
I'd like to pass a date range parameter from Crystal Reports to a sql stored procedure. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I've had no problem passing standard datetime (single value) paramaters to and from but am struggling with getting a range value parameter to work.
Environment: Crystal Reports 10/XI and SQL 2000 MSDE version or SQL 2005 Express Edition.
Any help would be appreciated.C5112736 wrote:>
> And then these 2 formulas 'Formula # 1' and 'Formula # 2' can be used to pass on to the stored procedure.
Can someone please demonstrate exactly how to use formula results as date parameters to a SQL stored procedure? Keep in mind, there are two parameters to the stored procedure.
I have gleaned this much: Use Add Command and insert the procedure with
EXEC ServerName.dbo.usp_sprocName;1 '{?StringParameter}'
but if I try to do
{CALL ServerName.dbo.usp_SprocName({@Formula1},{@Formula2})}
then it gives the error "No value given for one or more required parameters".
Both of the parameters are VARCHAR(50).
I have finally found this link: [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx]
This Microsoft site defines the format of the ODBC escape sequences, but I still do not know how to convince Crystal to insert it's parameter results or formula results.
Pulling what's left of my hair out . . .

LenfinkelHi LenFinkel,
May I know what is purpose of this requirement, as olaf said,you may parse the T-SQL code (or the execution plan), which is not that easy.
I have noticed that the condition values in your Stored Procedure(SP) are hard coded and among them there is a date values, I believe some day you may have to alter the SP when the date expires. So why not declare 3 parameters of the SP instead hard coding?
For multiple values paramter you can use a
table-valued parameter. Then there's no problem getting the values.
If you could elaborate your purpose, we may help to find better workaround.

How to bind arrays to PL/SQL stored procedure using OCI?
Hi,
We are having problems trying to bind arrays to PL/SQL stored procedure using OCI. Here is the situation:
- We have a stored procedure called "GetVEPFindTasks" with the following interface:
PROCEDURE GetVEPFindTasks (
p_ErrorCode OUT NUMBER,
p_ErrorMsg OUT VARCHAR2,
p_RowCount OUT NUMBER,
p_VEPFindTasks OUT t_VEPFindTaskRecordTable,
p_MaxTask IN NUMBER);
t_VEPFindTaskRecordTable is a record with the following entries:
TYPE t_VEPFindTaskRecord IS RECORD (
RTCID NUMBER,
TransNum NUMBER,
TransTimestamp VARCHAR2(20),
Pathname1 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
Pathname2 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
Pathname3 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
OperatorID operator.id%TYPE);
- Now, we are trying to call the stored procedure from C++ using OCI (in UNIX). The call that we use are: OCIBindByName and OCIBindArrayOfStruct to bind the parameters to the corresponding buffers. We bind all parameters in the interface by name. Now, we do bind the record's individual item by name (RTCID, TransNum, etc.), and not as a record. I don't know if this is going to work. Then, we use the bind handles of the binded record items (only record items such as RTCID, TransNum, and NOT error_code which is not part of the record) to bind the arrays (using OCIBindArrayOfStruct).
All of the parameters that are binded as arrays are OUTPUT parameters. The rest are either INPUT or INPUT/OUTPUT parameters. Now, when we try to execute, OCI returns with an error "Invalid number or types of arguments" (or something to that sort... the number was something like ORA-06550). Please help...
Is there any sample on how to use the OCIBindArrayOfStruct with PL/SQL stored procedures? The sample provided from Oracle is only for a straight SQL statement.
Thank's for all your help.
** Dannil Chan **As you said:
You have to pass in an array for every field and deconstruct/construct the record in the procedure. There is no support for record type or an array of records. Can you give me a example? I'am very urgently need it.
thanks

Creating XML report using PL/SQL Stored Procedure
Hi Friends,
I am working on an xml report with the xml source as PL/SQL Stored Procedure.
I am referring the exercise shown in the following link to understand the process:
http://orclapp.blogspot.com/2012/02/developing-xml-publisher-report-using.html
In the example shown in the above link I could not understand the following:
1) In the following procedure, the out parameter 'retcode' is not used at all.
What is the importance of this parameter.
PROCEDURE REPORT (errbuf OUT VARCHAR2, retcode OUT VARCHAR2, p_product_id IN NUMBER)
2) After the xml data is prepared and put to 'l_result' Clob variable, the following
Loop is executed. I am not able to appreciate why the following loop is required.
LOOP
EXIT WHEN l_length = l_retrieved;
IF (l_length - l_retrieved) < 32000
THEN
SELECT SUBSTR (l_result, l_retrieved + 1) INTO l_xmlstr FROM DUAL;
l_retrieved := l_length;
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
ELSE
SELECT SUBSTR (l_result, l_retrieved + 1, l_offset)
INTO l_xmlstr
FROM DUAL;
l_retrieved := l_retrieved + l_offset;
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
END IF;
END LOOP;
3) In the example it is not explained how the concurrent program gets the xml data?
I assume it is written to a file using the following line of code:
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xmlstr);
I would appreciate if anyone can throw some light into my above queries so that I can understand the process clearly.
Thanks & Regards
HawkerHi 32000 in the code is a 'safe' size smaller than the max available 32767, the loops purpose is to move through the entire thing in chunks that will be manageable in the limits of the data type.
Btw; if you are in Oracle e-business suite then you can also use Oracle reports very simply to create XML output.
If you have reports developer all you need to do is put raw sql (without any 'artifice' to create XML) in the report SQL and then set the reports output to XML in the program definition in Oracle e-business.
best regards,

How to send a Varying Array param to a PL/SQL Stored Procedure from Java
* I am VERY new to jdbc, and even somewhat new to Java
* I'm using Java 1.5, Oracle 10g.
* I need to call the following PL/SQL Stored Procedure from Java:
procedure setEventStatus
i_deQueueStatus in deQueueStatus_type
*deQueueStatus_type is the following (an array of deQueueStatus_OBJ):
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE deQueueStatus_OBJ as object
eventID number (20),
dequeuestatus varchar2(20)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE deQueueStatus_TYPE IS VARYING ARRAY(500) of deQueueStatus_obj
*I have created a Java object as follows:
public class EventQueueDeQueueStatus
long eventID;
String dequeueStatus;
EventQueueDeQueueStatus(long eventID, String dequeueStatus)
this.eventID = eventID;
this.dequeueStatus = dequeueStatus;
I have an ArrayList of these.
I need to pass this list to the Stored Procedure. How do I create a java.sql.Array so I can call CallableStatement.setArray to set the parameter? Or do I use something else? I have tried setObject with both the ArrayList and also with a primitive array, but got "Invalid Column Type" both times.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just got this task today, and I have to make it work by Tuesday :-( !

Executing a shell script from pl/sql stored procedure
Hi,
I have Oracle 8i on HP-UX.
I am passing a shell script name as a parameter to a user defined function from a pl/sql stored procedure. This user defined function has insterface to a user defined Java class file in Aurora java virtual machine which is written using runtime class which can execute any OS command or any shell script. I am getting any OS command run successfully, but could not run my own shell script. It's is not getting environment variables of my own, so not getting executed. So please suggest how can get these env variables in my shell script and also suggest other sucurity concerns to be taken into consideration.
If you have any questions please let me know.
This is really a very urgent issue.....
Please help me.

APEX - accepting OUT variable values from PL/SQL Stored Procedure
I have created a page (Form) which is accepting values text fields.
In the Page Processing section under Processing, I am passing the values to a PL/SQL Stored Procedure, which acts like an API. The procedure contains code to validate the entered data and finally insert the data into the base tables. The procedure also contains OUT variables in the parameter that would return status of processing and any error messages.
Now, my question is, how can I make the page accept these OUT variables from the procedure. What I wish to do is, to capture these messages/processing status from the procedure in the page. For example, if there is a error in the data and the procedure is sending this message in the OUT variable, I need this to be displayed on the page as an error message.
Is this possible in APEX?
Regards,
Santhosh JoseHi VC,
I just tried putting the string directly instead of the variable. Its still not giving me the expected results.
HOWEVER, I think the reason was because of the EXCEPTION block in my code. I have an EXCEPTION block to handle exceptions. I commented the WHEN OTHERS section and now the error message is coming on the page.
So what I have done now is as follows: At the point at which the error is expected, I am raising a handled exception. And within the exception handling, I am giving RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR.
WHEN ex_main_error*
THEN*
p_status := 2;*
p_msg := 'ERROR Stage: '||lc_err_stage||' ERROR Message: '||lc_err_msg;*
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20001, p_msg);*
This is working now! Which is very good news. Thanks once again for your help!
