PL/SQL - Stored Programs

What is the different between Stored Procedure and Stored Function?

hmmmm ....Thank you JS1 just now i saw a example
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_num_of_employees (loc VARCHAR2, job VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER IS
query_str VARCHAR2(1000);
num_of_employees NUMBER;
BEGIN
query_str := 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '
|| ' emp_' || loc
|| ' WHERE job = :job_title';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE query_str
INTO num_of_employees
USING job;
RETURN num_of_employees;
END;

How to declare local variables in PL/SQL stored programs

Where do I declare local variables in a PL/SQL stored program?
I get compiler errors with either of the options below:
FUNCTION GET_PRINCIPAL_BALANCE (CUT_OFF_DATE IN DATE, TITLE_SN IN DATE, TOTAL_BALANCE OUT NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
TOTAL_BALANCE NUMBER;
BEGIN
RETURN TOTAL_BALANCE;
END;
FUNCTION GET_PRINCIPAL_BALANCE (CUT_OFF_DATE IN DATE, TITLE_SN IN DATE, TOTAL_BALANCE OUT NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
TOTAL_BALANCE NUMBER;
RETURN TOTAL_BALANCE;
END;

Your local variable cannot have the same name as the formal out parameter. This is a procedure example, but since functions should not have out parameters anyway ...
session2> CREATE PROCEDURE p (p_id IN NUMBER, p_did OUT NUMBER) AS
2     p_did NUMBER;
3 BEGIN
4     p_did := p_id * 2;
5 END;
6 /
Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.
session2> show error
Errors for PROCEDURE P:
LINE/COL ERROR
0/0      PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
1/1      PLS-00410: duplicate fields in RECORD,TABLE or argument list are
         not permittedThe proper way to create a function would be something like:
CREATE FUNCTION f (p_id IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER AS
   l_did NUMBER;
BEGIN
l_did := p_id * 2;
RETURN l_did;
END;You should really assign a value to the variable before you return it.

How to run a pl/sql stored procedure as a concurrent program

Hi All,
I created a package PURGE_DEAL_REQUESTS. It contains a procedure QPR_DELETE_CANCELLED_REQUESTS. I want to run this stored procedure as concurrent program in ebs suite....
Can anyone tell me how to run this procedure as a concurrent program(in ebs suite).....?
Thanks
Swathi.

You need to add the concurrent program to the group of the responsibility that will run the report. For more details, please refer to:

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

Hi 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,
Robert.

XML file from PL/SQL Executable Program

Hi all,
I have to solve this issue. I registered a concurrent program based on a PL/SQL Stored Procedure which extracts data in CSV format. The output is ok and ready to be imported in an excel worksheet and this is ok.
But, I wanted to create also an rtf template to associate to this concurrent, so the output is in more readable PDF format with table and clear formatting.
The problem is the publisher doesn't recognize the CSV datas and doesn't create the pdf. Is there any PL/SQL command to translate CSV to XML output? Thanks, Michele

Michele, I have a suggestion for you. It's not the exact solution you're looking for, but it may work for you.
I use Oracle Reports to create both XML data and CSV data. The output is a single formula field within the lowest level group that displays all of the data, delimited field by field. I define two concurrent programs based on this executable -- one with output format XML and one with output format Text. That way I can associate templates with the first program, and can use the second program to produce my CSV file which is ready for import to Excel.
You can either convert your PL/SQL stored procedure to Oracle Reports, or use a temporary table to store the data that the procedure is displaying, then call the procedure in an Oracle Reports trigger and select the data in the Data Model.

Fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.OUTPUT in Ora Apps in SQL*Plus program

I have used fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.OUTPUT and fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.LOG many times for programs registered as PL/SQL Stored Procedure or used in DB Packages to write to the concurrent manager output and log files. No problem doing that. I have a simple program that I was going to register in Oracle Apps as a SQL*Plus script (instead of creating a DB procedure) that contains a PL/SQL block and will use fnd_file.put_line to write the output so it can be seen from the Concurrent Mgr View Requests. When the script runs the fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.OUTPUT... doesn't write to the output (or log) file. I am guessing fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.OUTPUT is not available to programs registered as SQL*PLUS.
Is that correct? Am I missing something simple that would allow it to run without creating a DB procedure/package.
I am testing this with a very simple script just to see if I can get something written to the output and log files.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
declare
x varchar2(20);
Begin
select 'test'
into x
from dual;
fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.LOG,'In the log file');
fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'In the output file');
end;
Thanks for taking the time to read this and any offers to help

I think you should post it in the relevant Oracle Apps forum and not here. It seems that - you may have some problem regarding any privileges or missing some property which needs to be configure.

Get server output from pl/sql stored procedure

Hi Colleagues,
I would like to get and watch the server output of my PL/SQL stored procedure
when I run my java program and call it from. The Stored proc. uses "dbms_output.put_line".
If it is clearly and possible (or not), will you send me your answer!
Thanks a lot
Ulve

Hi,
You can redirect the standard output to the console (i.e., the SQL output) using the
DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT() method.
SQL> SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SQL> call dbms_java.set_output (5000);But, the output is only printed when the stored procedure exits, and this setting works only for one call (i.e., the SQL call that immediately follows the invocation of DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT()). The minumum and default value is 2,000 characters and the maximum is 1,000,000 (1 million) characters. Notice the “SET SERVEROUTPUT ON” which enables displaying the outputs of stored procedures (Java or PL/SQL blocks) in SQL*Plus.

Conc. prog as pl/sql stored procedure question

When I registered a conc. program as pl/sql stored procedure, and, with in procedure I am using as following:
exception
when others
retcode := 2;
Where I am expecting the conc. request screen should show me as red one, that is completed with error. But, even though my program aborted for unknown reason, the conc. request screen for this conc. request-id shows as "completed-normal" insted of "completed_error".
Any idea? what are the exact retcode should be used? please explain.
Thanks

Change connection schema in Stored Program?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if I can change connection schema in a stored program (not form program unit)? Does Oracle provide any build-in?
Thanks.

I could not think of a direct command to change connection. But I have written a tool that will read the username, password and database name from a table and dynamically create the link from within the procedure and use the link for further processing.
The rough out line is as follows.
1. read the table containing
databasename, password, connect str
2. dbms_sql or dbma_utility function to
create a link for those parameters
the link name can be some thing like
mylink.
3. further dmls on the procedure
like
select * from xxxx@mylink;
But if you want the statements in the statements in step 3 to be non-dynamic sql then create a dummy link mylink to the current schema itself, so that the procedure will not have any compilation problem. also make sure whatever tables structures used in step 3 exist in the current schema.

Load stored program package into another db

Hi,
Let say I have a created a stored program package (contains spec and body) in an oracle database
developed using sql developer.
How do I transfer and load my stored program package into another oracle database?
Do I also need to recompile after I did so?
Thanks.

You connect to the other database and recompile the code.

Unable to use the values returned by a PL/SQL stored procedure in a XSQL page

Hi,
I've been messing around with XML and XSQL in particular. I was trying to write a xsql page to display a report with account totals...I have the following .xsql which calls a PL/SQL stored procedure :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsql:query connection="pfcdm" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:set-session-param name="zasset_total" value="100">
<xsql:dml connection="pfcdm">
rraman.sp_vw_id(zasset_total,zinvm_total,zmkt_val);
</xsql:dml>
</xsql:set-session-param>
select 'Asset total is {@zasset_total}' as "ASSET_TOTAL" from dual
</xsql:query>
My procedure sp_vw_id returns the values that it should. But, I am not sure how to declare variables within a page, and to output the return values. There is very scanty documentation on the usage of <xsql:dml> or <xsql:ref-cursor-function>.
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Raja

Here is the example from the Oracle9i (complete rewrite) of the XSQL Chapter in our Oracle documentation.
Question
I using <xsql:dml> to call a stored procedure which has one OUT parameter, but I was not able to see any results. The executed code results in the following statement:
<xsql-status action="xsql:dml" rows="0"/>
Answer
You cannot set parameter values by binding them in the position of OUT variables in this release using <xsql:dml>. Only IN parameters are supported for binding. You can create a wrapper procedure that constructs XML elements using the HTP package and then your XSQL page can invoke the wrapper procedure using <xsql:include-owa> instead.
For an example, suppose you had the following procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE addmult(arg1 NUMBER,
arg2 NUMBER,
sumval OUT NUMBER,
prodval OUT NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
sumval := arg1 + arg2;
prodval := arg1 * arg2;
END;You could write the following procedure to "wrap" it, taking all of the IN arguments that the procedure above expects, and then "encoding" the OUT values as a little XML datagram that you print to the OWA page buffer:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE addmultwrapper(arg1 NUMBER, arg2 NUMBER) IS
sumval NUMBER;
prodval NUMBER;
xml VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
-- Call the procedure with OUT values
addmult(arg1,arg2,sumval,prodval);
-- Then produce XML that encodes the OUT values
xml := '<addmult>'| |
'<sum>'| |sumval| |'</sum>'| |
'<product>'| |prodval| |'</product>'| |
'</addmult>';
-- Print the XML result to the OWA page buffer for return
HTP.P(xml);
END;This way, you can build an XSQL page like this that calls the wrapper procedure:
<page connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:include-owa bind-params="arg1 arg2">
BEGIN addmultwrapper(?,?); END;
</xsql:include-owa>
</page>This allows a request like:
http://yourserver.com/addmult.xsql?arg1=30&arg2=45
to return an XML datagram that reflects the OUT values like this:
<page> <addmult><sum>75</sum><product>1350</product></addmult>
</page>

Microsoft Visual Studio and SQL Server Reporting Services did not like this! When I added my dataset and parameters accordingly, my Dataset had no fields...almost as if running the Stored Procedure in the background to get its Metadata was not working. I
know this works because I tested it as a result of a straight EXEC Command. Why doesn't Microsoft Visual Studio and SQL Server Reporting Services not like this IF? I did end up getting around this by parameterizing the WHERE clause based on the @ReportTypeName
chosen.
WHERE (@ReportTypeName = 'HMO-POS New To HFHP - No Prior Year Member Spans'

I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobbyP,
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by the temp table you are using which will also cause the data not display.
I have use below sample table and record to have a test and details information below for your reference:
Right click the DataSet to select the "DataSet Properties" and click the query designer to execute the stored procedure by click the "!" to check if you can get the data:
If you got some error, the issue can be cause by the temp table invalid, so please make sure you have add the query to create and insert recored to temp table like below:
CREATE PROCEDURE vickytest0311_1
@ReportTypeName nvarchar(50)
AS
create table #VickyTest
column1 int,
column2 varchar(20)
insert into #VickyTest values (1,'Test1')
insert into #VickyTest values (2,'Test2')
insert into #VickyTest values (3,'Test3')
IF @ReportTypeName ='Test1'
BEGIN
select * from #VickyTest
where Column1=1
END
IF @ReportTypeName ='Test2'
BEGIN
select * from #VickyTest
where Column1=2
END
GO
3. I recommend you to not use the temp table and you will not need to add the create and insert statement in the stored procedure.
4. If you still got no data, please try to click the "Refresh fields" as below:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

PL/SQL Stored procedures vs C# code.

Hi All
We are going to start designing a kind of transactional application with huge volume of data (150 million records per month). Our selected DB engine is Oracle 10.g while C# is selected development language.
Because of big volume of data performance is one of the most important factors for us, and the technical design should gain the best level of performance.
What i'm looking for and studing for it is to define which kind of operation shall be done by Stored Procedure which will be written by PL/SQL or by C# classes?
I don't interested in to handle complicated and complex jobs using PL/SQL stored procedures while the performance really deserve it.

Hello,
Well, my philosophy is to leverage the database as much as possible. I have worked with applications that had no "select", "insert", "update" or "delete" statements in them. Instead, stored procedures and functions inside of PL/SQL packages and bodies were used. Some people will argue strongly against that, but I belong to the "thick database" group rather than the "the database is just a persistence layer that I have to deal with" group. To me it makes sense to co-locate the code that works on the data with the data. If you are working with large volumes of data, I find the bulk operations available via PL/SQL to be very handy.
Here's an AskTom thread that deals with this general issue:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:12083187196917
Whilst the thread is primarily about Java, you can substitute just about any other language and the meaning will still carry over.
Regards,
Mark

Added new parm to an existing SQL stored procedure CR 11 doesn't like it

Hi
I have added a new parameter to an existing SQL stored procedure (SQL 2000). This stored procedure is currently being called from a Crystal XI report. It prompts for a date which works great. (The report was created with this parameter). I added a new parameter to the stored procedure. When I do a preview in Crystal, it prompts for the new parameter, but is NULL when I look at the SQL query and it brings back no data. If I try to verify the database, it tells me that I am missing parameter @ProcessType (varchar(5))--(name of new parameter). I have physically added this parameter to the crystal report with the select expert and still no luck. I have already tried renaming the procedure but am unable to update datasource location because of this parameter. The report is very detailed and I do NOT want to create a new report.

Unfortunately, I have tried and retried to do this. Nothing changes. I usually would get a message like database has changed, proceeding to fix report. I don't get this. It merely tells me database is up to date and only returns the 1 parameter, yet when I go to the datasouce and try to update it, it tells me that I have not supplied the new parameter.
I have tried everything, from closing Crystal reports and then going so far as to reboot my machine, just in case their was some kind of caching going on.
I have even asked other people I work with to look at it to make sure I am not doing something dumb...
