REF CURSOR from Java Stored Proc

Does Oracle 8i/9i allow to return REF CURSROR from Java Stored Procedure?

Sorry,
No I don't think this type of Java->SQL mapping was ever fixed. I know it was discussed here on the OTN forums as far back as the 8i driver, but I don't think they have ever implemented this. Perhaps someone who has actually made it work will speak up.

How to get an UPDATABLE REF CURSOR from the STORED PROCEDURE

using C# with
ORACLE OLE DB version: 9.0.0.1
ADO version: 2.7
I returns a REF CURSOR from a stored procedure seems like:
type TCursor is ref cursor;
procedure test_out_cursor(p_Dummy in varchar, p_Cur out TCursor) is
begin
open p_Cur for select * from DUAL;
end;
I create an ADO Command object and set
cmd.Properties["IRowsetChange"].Value = true;
cmd.Properties["Updatability"].Value = 7;
cmd.Properties["PLSQLRSet"].Value = 1;
cmd.CommandText = "{CALL OXSYS.TEST.TEST_OUT_CURSOR(?)}";
and I use a Recordset object to open it:
rs.Open(cmd, Missing.Value,
ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenStatic,
ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockBatchOptimistic,
(int) ADODB.CommandTypeEnum.adCmdText +
(int) ADODB.ExecuteOptionEnum.adOptionUnspecified);
The rs can be opened but can NOT be updated!
I saved the recordset into a XML file and there's no
rs:baseschema/rs:basetable/rs:basecolumn
attributes for "s:AttributeType" element.
Any one have idea about this?
thanks very much

It is not possible through ADO/OLEDB.
Try ODP.NET currently in Beta, it is possible to update DataSet created with refcursors. You need to specify your custom SQL or SP to send update/insert/delete.
As I remember there is a sample with ODP.NET Beta 1 just doing this.

Can't execute OS-level command from java stored proc

I've written a couple simple java stored procs, the first of which writes an file and the second attempts a chown on it. I can write the file (which is written as the oracle user) just fine. I need to chown it, but can't. Here's the first proc:
public static String writefile()
String fileName = "/joetest/test.xml";
try {
File f = new File(fileName);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(f);
PrintStream p = new PrintStream(out);
p.println("this is only a test");
p.close();
return "create file successful!!!";
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Exception occurred writing file:"+e;
Here's the proc I've been stuggling with:
public static String chown(String inString)
String[] command = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "/usr/bin/chown notjoe /joetest/test.xml"};
if (inString != null) {
command[2] = inString;
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
return "Ownership change success!! "+p;
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Ownership change failure?? err="+e;
The package is created with:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE JOE.THISISATEST AS
FUNCTION writefile
return VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE java
NAME 'thisisatest.writefile() return java.lang.String';
FUNCTION chown(Param1 VARCHAR2)
return VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE java
NAME 'thisisatest.chown(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
end;
And I've granted the following privileges:
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '/joetest/test.xml', 'read, write, execute, delete');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '/usr/bin/chown', 'execute');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
end;
Here's the error that I'm getting:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Coincidentally, this is the same error that I used to get when I wrote the file without having been granted write privileges. Once I granted myself the proper 'write' permissions I could perform file IO just fine. Is there some runtime permission that I need to grant myself to run chown? I'm just guessing, as I can't find any permission like that in the java documentation. I have 'execute' permission on /usr/bin/chown and the oracle user can execute the command I'm attempting from the command line. ARRRRRGH.
I am at my wits end with this. I've tried what seems like a thousand different syntaxes for the OS command and ran it from many different directories. Anyone have any thoughts at all as to why this is happening? I'm just clutching at straws now...

Hmmmm. Granting 'execute' on '<<ALL FILES>>' to user JOE fixes this problem:
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'execute');
end;
My security folks will not allow this when I port to production, but at least it is something.

What I did to solve this problem was to
create a simple RMI remote object that
resides outside the database JVM and that
serves as a proxy EJB client for your java
stored procedure. The stored procedure can
invoke a method on the remote RMI object
which then looks up the EJBean's home
interface and invokes the relevant method on
the bean's remote interface, and relays any
return values back to the java stored
procedure.
Hope this helps,
Avi.

Problem passing REF CURSOR to JAVA STORED PROCEDURE

Hi,
I've written a small Java class with a static method and
imported that into Oracle 8i. The method expects a
java.sql.ResultSet object as parameter. According to the
documentation of Oracle, a REF CURSOR (cursor variable) maps to
java.sql.ResultSet in JDBC.
The definition of the Java Stored Procedure was accepted without
problems:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE RESULTSETPASSINGTESTPROC (row
WASTypes.GenericCurType)
as language java
name 'sqlj.ResultSetPassingTest.testResultSetPassing
(java.sql.ResultSet)';
WASTypes is a package containing the definition of the generic
cursor:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE WASTYPES
is
TYPE GenericCurType IS REF CURSOR;
END WASTypes;
In a function I'm opening the cursor via
'Open cursorVariable for sqlStatement';
Then this cursor variable is passed to the java method and the
error ORA-03113 is shown.
I tried to solve the problem by changing the type of the
parameter to oracle.sql.REF without success.
Does anybody know what wents wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Throwing exceptions from Java Stored Procs

Hi,
We'd like to be able to define our own exceptions from our Java Stored Procedures (i'm going to call them JSP's even thought that's not PC). I am aware that the manual says "When a Java stored procedure executes a SQL statement, any exception thrown is materialized to the procedure as a subclass of java.sql.SQLexception. That class has the methods getErrorCode() and getMessage(), which return the Oracle error code and message, respectively."
Does this mean that we can't really extend the SQLException class and define our own set of methods for handling exceptions in JSP's? Is there a work around for handling exceptions in JSP's? Since exception handling is such a powerful component of Java, I figure someone has addressed the limitations of the above paragraph.
Thanks,
Kristi

Unfortunately, right now GCC's standard C++ runtime library is NOT threadsafe. You can find documentation supporting this on the GCC website. Since you're running a multithreaded Java/JNI application, you'll certainly hit this shortcoming.
<p>
Supposedly, this will all be fixed in GCC 3.0.
<p>
In the meantime, if you're using SPARC, the only option you have is either using SC4.2 or Forte 6 Update 2 (this particular version is VERY important for several reasons).

Return ref cursor from database link/stored proc? do-able?

Is it possible to return a REF CURSOR from a stored procedure that is being called from a remote database via a database link???
We are trying from Pro*Cobol on MVS (which has db link pointing to AIX thru db link) and get a 00993 error, which seems to say this is not possible.
Before I give up, thought I would check with the experts....
Thanks in advance.

You can't return Java objects as stored procedure or query results.

ResultSet from Java Stored Procedures

Hi,
How do I obtain a resultset from a Java Stored Procedure?
My stored procedure, deployed in Oracle8i, has Database package as sample.Have published setConnection() and getDept() methods.
Code for Java Stored Procedure:
package SPPackage;
import java.sql.*;
public class StoredProcApplication {
protected static Connection connection = null;
protected static Statement stmt = null;
protected static ResultSet res = null;
public static void setConnection() throws SQLException {
connection = new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver().defaultConnection();
public static void getDept(Object[] obj) throws SQLException {
if (connection == null) {
setConnection();
if (stmt == null) {
stmt = connection.createStatement();
if (res == null) {
res = stmt.executeQuery("select * from DEPT");
obj[0] = res;
Code for TesterApplication :
package SPPackage;
import java.sql.*;
public class TesterApplication {
private static final String URL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@sandeep:1521:oracle8i";
private static final String userId = "sandeep";
private static final String password = "sandeep";
private Connection connection;
private CallableStatement stmt;
private ResultSet res;
public void setConnection() throws ClassNotFoundException,SQLException {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(URL,userId,password);
public void getResultFromSP() throws SQLException {
//prepare to call the stored procedure
stmt = connection.prepareCall("{call sample.getDept(?)}");
//register the OUT parameters
stmt.registerOutParameter(1,Types.OTHER);
//execute the query
stmt.execute();
ResultSet res = (ResultSet)stmt.getObject(1);
while (res.next()) {
System.out.print(res.getInt(1) + " | " );
System.out.print(res.getString(2) + " | " );
System.out.print(res.getString(3) + " \n " );
public TesterApplication() throws SQLException,ClassNotFoundException {
try {
setConnection();
getResultFromSP();
} finally {
if (res != null) { res.close(); res = null; }
if (stmt != null) { stmt.close(); stmt = null; }
if (connection != null) { connection.close(); connection = null; }
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
TesterApplication ta = new TesterApplication();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Error while executing stored procedure " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
When I run the TesterApplication, I get the following exception :
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column type: get_internal_type
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.check_error(Compiled Code)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.get_internal_type(Compiled Code)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleCallableStatement.registerOutParameter(Compiled Code)
Also, if I want to execute the ResultSet in the stored proc itself, and return the values as Arrays of int[], and String[], how do I do it?By default the you can populate only int[0], String[0] , i.e. only one value!!!
if my statement is unknown, i.e, it might return a combination of updates and resultsets, how do I go about processing the result?
Please advise!!
TIA

Hi kkirk,
I found the post you mentioned.Well it dates back to November 1999 - "Problem returning resultset or ARRAY from java stored proc" by Stuart Popejoy ([email protected]).Too bad, it is still not solved!!
I am not very good at PL/SQL.However, it would still be helpful, if you could post the code here, or at my email address.
Meanwhile, I was trying this during the week-end.There seems to be a glimmer of hope!!
Let me know, if this makes sense :
CallableStatement cs = connection.prepareCall("begin open ? for select * from dept; end");
try {
cs.registerOutParameter(1,OracleTypes.CURSOR);
ResultSet res = ((OracleCallableStatement)cs).getCursor(1);
while (res.next()) {
//get the values
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStacktrace();
However, I am getting an exception trace
Error while executing stored procedure Invalid column type: getLong
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column type: getLong
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.check_error(Compiled Code)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.getLongValue(Compiled Code)
Not quite sure why this is happening!!

Passing Tables back from Java Stored Procedures

Thomas Kyte has written (in reference to
trying to pass an array back from a stored
function call):
You can do one of two things (and both require the use of
objects). You cannot use PLSQL table types as JDBC cannot bind to
this type -- we must use OBJECT Types.
[snip]
Another way is to use a result set and "select * from
plsql_function". It could look like this:
ops$tkyte@8i> create or replace type myTableType as table of
varchar2 (64);
2 /
Type created.
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i> create or replace
2 function demo_proc2( p_rows_to_make_up in number )
3 return myTableType
4 as
5 l_data myTableType := myTableType();
6 begin
7 for i in 1 .. p_rows_to_make_up
8 loop
9 l_data.extend;
10 l_data(i) := 'Made up row ' | | i;
11 end loop;
12 return l_data;
13 end;
14 /
Function created.
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i> select *
2 from the ( select cast( demo_proc2(5) as mytableType )
3 from dual );
COLUMN_VALUE
Made up row 1
Made up row 2
Made up row 3
Made up row 4 [Image]
Made up row 5
So, your JDBC program would just run the query to get the data.
If the function "demo_proc2" cannot be called from SQL for
whatever reason (eg: it calls an impure function in another piece
of code or it itself tries to modify the database via an insert
or whatever), you'll just make a package like:
ops$tkyte@8i> create or replace package my_pkg
2 as
3
4 procedure Make_up_the_data( p_rows_to_make_up in
number ); 5 function Get_The_Data return myTableType;
6 end;
7 /
Package created.
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i> create or replace package body my_pkg
2 as
3
4 g_data myTableType;
5
6 procedure Make_up_the_data( p_rows_to_make_up in number )
7 as
8 begin
9 g_data := myTableType();
10 for i in 1 .. p_rows_to_make_up
11 loop
12 g_data.extend;
13 g_data(i) := 'Made up row ' | | i;
14 end loop;
15 end;
16
17
18 function get_the_data return myTableType
19 is
20 begin
21 return g_data;
22 end;
23
24 end;
25 /
Package body created.
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i> exec my_pkg.make_up_the_data( 3 );
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
ops$tkyte@8i>
ops$tkyte@8i> select *
2 from the ( select cast( my_pkg.get_the_data as mytableType
) 3 from dual );
COLUMN_VALUE
Made up row 1
Made up row 2
Made up row 3
And you'll call the procedure followed by a query to get the
data...
I have tried this, and it works perfectly.
My question, is what does the wrapper look
like if the stored function is written
in java instead of PL/SQL? My experiments
with putting the function in java have been
dismal failures. (I supposed I should also
ask how the java stored procedure might
look also, as I suppose that could be where
I have been having a problem)

Thanks for the response Avi, but I think I need to clarify my question. The articles referenced in your link tended to describe using PL/SQL ref cursors in Java stored procedures and also the desire to pass ref cursors from Java to PL/SQL programs. Unfortunately, what I am looking to do is the opposite.
We currently have several Java stored procedures that are accessed via select statements that have become a performance bottleneck in our system. Originally the business requirements were such that only a small number of rows were ever selected and passed into the Java stored procedures. Well, business requirements have changed and now thousands and potentially tens of thousands of rows can be passed in. We benchmarked Java stored procedures vs. PL/SQL stored procedures being accessed via a select statement and PL/SQL had far better performance and scaleable. So, our thought is by decouple the persistence logic into PL/SQL and keeping the business logic in Java stored procedures we can increase performance without having to do a major rewrite of the existing code. This leads to the current problem.
What we currently do is select into a Java stored procedure which has many database access calls. What we would like to do is select against a PL/SQL stored procedure to aggregate the data and then pass that data via a ref cursor (or whatever structure is acceptable) to a Java stored procedure. This would save us a significant amount of work since the current Java stored procedures would simple need to be changed to not make database calls since the data would be handed to them.
Is there a way to send a ref cursor from PL/SQL as an input parameter to a Java stored procedure? My call would potentially look like this:
SELECT java_stored_proc(pl/sql_stored_proc(col_id))
FROM table_of_5000_rows;
Sorry for the lengthy post.

Generating CSV file using java/ stored proc

Hi Folks,
I am using Oracle 11g DB
My requirement is that I have to generate a CSV file which has customer details. Each value that is comma separated comes from different set of SQL queries. I want to write a stored procedure along with java code to acieve this. How do I go about it? Should I return multiple cursors from my stored proc and iterate from the java side to create the CSV file? Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Problem with java stored procs.

Is there a restriction on accessing XML documents from Java stored procs?
I have a Java program to parse XML document and return a string. If I run this program as a stand alone, the program runs fine.
I loaded the oracle xmlparser.jar into ORACLE8i db sucessfully (used -resolve option). Then I loaded my .class file with -verbose and -resolve option and I did not get any erros. I created function which return string. When I ran the function, I did not get any value bacmk.
Can I use System.out.println in java programs in ORACLE8i. If I can where can I see the output when the program runs? I not waht other mehtods I can use to debug the program running in ORACLE8i JVM.
Thank You

Hello again,
I read the documentation of 9i and found some hints about different TCP/IP socket handling of 9i and a standard JVM.
There are some parts that give hints but I couldn't find a sample code to show how to handle the differences.
Could anyone tell me how to handle the differences or give some links to sample code?
Thanks

Java stored proc from proxy Java classes generated from a web service?

Hi gurus,
I have searched "Java Stored Procedure" on this forum but could not find what I am looking for, so I have to post again.
I need to use a web service and my client app is written in PowerBuilder 11 (Sybase), which claims that it will create a datawindow from a web service. Well, it turned out that PB can only handle simple stuff (it works with a very simple wsdl from the internet) but can't handle more complex ones that we need to use. So I am thinking about using Oracle JDeveloper(JDev) to create the web service proxy for the web service and then load it into Oracle as a Java stored procedure so that PowerBuilder can call the procedure. JDev succsfully generated the proxy and a few Java classes. My question is, do I need to load all the classes into the database? If yes, will the reference to the package work? For example, in a JDev generated class (the soap client class), it has package MyJdev.proxy; at the top. Or, will it work if I load all the classes included in package /MyJdev/proxy into the database?
Thank you very much for any help.

For the java stored proc called from pl/sql, the example above that uses dynamic sql should word :
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE MyPackage AS
TYPE Ref_Cursor_t IS REF CURSOR;
FUNCTION get_good_ids RETURN VARCHAR2 ;
FUNCTION get_plsql_table_A RETURN Ref_Cursor_t;
END MyPackage;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY MyPackage AS
FUNCTION get_good_ids RETURN VARCHAR2
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'MyServer.getGoodIds() return java.lang.String';
FUNCTION get_plsql_table_A RETURN Ref_Cursor_t
IS table_cursor Ref_Cursor_t;
good_ids VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
good_ids := get_good_ids();
OPEN table_cursor FOR 'SELECT id, name FROM TableA WHERE id IN ( ' | | good_ids | | ')';
RETURN table_cursor;
END;
END MyPackage;
public class MyServer{
public static String getGoodIds() throws SQLException {
return "1, 3, 6 ";
null

Can we call a Java Stored Proc from a PL/SQL stored Proc?

Hello!
Do you know how to call a Java Stored Proc from a PL/SQL stored Proc? is it possible? Could you give me an exemple?
If yes, in that java stored proc, can we do a call to an EJB running in a remote iAS ?
Thank you!

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));
return rset;
