Resultset from a Stored Procedure

Hello Everyone,
Is it possible to return a resultset from a stored procedure? I need to do display set of rows which are resulted by joining few tables.
Is it possible?
Please help..
TIA

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!!
TIA,

Retruring Multiple rows from a Stored Procedure

The Oracle JDBC documentation shows how to return a cursor pointer through the parameter list of a stored procedure allowing a Java program to use the cursor like a normal result set. I've tried it (using the thin driver) and it works fine - however, I'm having trouble getting this to work running the program under a Weblogic server (using their own JDBC implementation). So, I have two questions:
1) Has anyone had this problem before and solved it ??
2) Are there any other techniques for getting multiple rows back from the database without having to fire "raw" sql at it ?

Hi
You could return not resultset but array, for example:
PACKAGE TEST:
type string_table is table of varchar2(80)
index by binary_integer;
function get_something (
something1 out string_table,
arraylength in number
) return number;
PACKAGE'S BODY:
function get_something (
something1 out string_table,
arraylength in number /** length of the array **/
) return number as
cursor C is
select something1, ...
from test_table;
pos number := 1;
begin
for position in C loop
exit when (pos > arraylength);
something1(pos) := position.something1;
pos := pos + 1;
end loop;
return (pos - 1);
end;
Of course in this example you need to know length of your array
(arraylength parameter), but you can avoid such problem, for
example, by using DBMS_SQL package (or dynamic SQL feature in
the Oracle8i).

How to return a resultset in a stored procedure without using Cursor

Dear all,
I need to return a resultset in a stored procedure.
I know I can return a Cursor.
But because there are many complicate logics I need to carry out,
so I can finish all the logic in a SINGLE SQL select statement, so I think it can't
use Cursor as return value.
Does anybody know other approaches? Please help.
Thanks!

Some basic techniques that one can use in SQL. These are merely to illustrate (simplistically) different approaches.
> field3 = select count(*) from table2,table1 where table2.id = table1.id
This can be done via an analytical function (refer to the SQL Reference) or very simply, as an in-line select as follows:
SQL> select
2 o.object_name,
3 (select count(*) from user_objects u where u.object_type = o.object_type) as "ONE OF",
4 o.object_type
5 from user_objects o
6 where o.object_name = 'LISTFILES';
OBJECT_NAME ONE OF OBJECT_TYPE
LISTFILES 8 PROCEDURE
So LISTFILE is "one of 8" procedures. I would however rather so this via an analytic function as these are a lot more flexible. Note the WITH clause that allows "modularisation" of SQL - kind of like creating "sub-SQL results" in a single SQL statement:
SQL> with DATASET1 as(
2 select
3 object_name,
4 count(distinct object_name) over (partition by object_type) as TOTAL_TYPES,
5 object_type
6 from user_objects
7 ),
8 DATASET2 as(
9 select
10 name,
11 text as SOURCE_LINE,
12 line as LINE_NO,
13 count(line) over (partition by name) as TOTAL_LINES
14 from user_source
15 )
16 select
17 object_name,
18 '1 of '||total_types||' '||object_type as "TYPE",
19 source_line as "1st LINE",
20 total_lines as "TOTAL LINES"
21 from DATASET1 ds1,
22 DATASET2 ds2
23 where ds1.object_name = ds2.name
24 and ds1.object_name = 'LISTFILES'
25* and ds2.line_no = 1
SQL> /
OBJECT_NAME TYPE 1st LINE TOTAL LINES
LISTFILES 1 of 8 PROCEDURE procedure ListFiles( cDirectory in varchar2 ) 3
SQL>
SQL is quite powerful and analytical functions allows all kinds of aggregation processing per row, accessing the leading or lagging rows' data, etc.
You need to play around with this to get to grips with it and how to apply it.

Get variable values from a stored procedure

I am using SQL 2008R2 and I want to replace a view inside a stored procedure with a new stored procedure to return multiple variable values. Currently I am using the code below to get values for 4 different variables. I would rather get the 4 variables
from a stored procedure (which returns all of these 4 values and more) but not sure how to do so. Below is the code for getting the 4 variable values in my current sp.
DECLARE @TotalCarb real;
DECLARE @TotalPro real;
DECLARE @TotalFat real;
DECLARE @TotalLiquid real;
SELECT @TotalCarb = ISNULL(TotCarb,0),
@TotalPro = ISNULL(TotPro,0),
@TotalFat = ISNULL(TotFat,0),
@TotalLiquid = ISNULL(TotLiq,0)
FROM dbo.vw_ActualFoodTotals
WHERE (MealID = @MealID);

You can replace the view with inline table valued user-defined function:

See example: SQL create INLINE table-valued function like a parametrized view

Updateable recordset from a stored procedure

I would like to retrieve an updateable recordset from a stored procedure using the oracle 9.2.0.2.0
oledb provider
I am using the sample code/tables provided from Oracle.
Does anyone have an example or has actually created an updatedable recordset from a stored procedure ?

Assuming your stored procedure is returning a REF CURSOR, it cannot be done. Oracle's REF CURSORS are read only constructs.

How to get an updatable ADODB Recordset from a Stored Procedure?

In VB6 I have this code to get a disconnected ADODB Recordset from a Oracle 9i database (the Oracle Client is 10g):
Dim conSQL As ADODB.Connection
Dim comSQL As ADODB.Command
Dim recSQL As ADODB.Recordset
Set conSQL = New ADODB.Connection
With conSQL
.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Password=<pwd>;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=<uid>;Data Source=<dsn>"
.CursorLocation = adUseClientBatch
.Open
End With
Set comSQL = New ADODB.Command
With comSQL
.ActiveConnection = conSQL
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.CommandText = "P_PARAM.GETALLPARAM"
.Properties("PLSQLRSet").Value = True
End With
Set recSQL = New ADODB.Recordset
With recSQL
Set .Source = comSQL
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.CursorType = adOpenStatic
.LockType = adLockBatchOptimistic
.Open
.ActiveConnection = Nothing
End With
The PL/SQL Procedure is returning a REF CURSOR like this:
PROCEDURE GetAllParam(op_PARAMRecCur IN OUT P_PARAM.PARAMRecCur)
IS
BEGIN
OPEN op_PARAMRecCur FOR
SELECT *
FROM PARAM
ORDER BY ANNPARAM DESC;
END GetAllParam;
When I try to update some values in the ADODB Recordset (still disconnected), I get the following error:
Err.Description: Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value.
Err.Number: -2147217887 (80040E21)
Err.Source: Microsoft Cursor Engine
The following properties on the Command object doesn't change anything:
.Properties("IRowsetChange") = True
.Properties("Updatability") = 7
How can I get an updatable ADODB Recordset from a Stored Procedure?

4 years later...
I was having then same problem.
Finally, I've found how to "touch" the requierd bits.
Obviously, it's hardcore, but since some stupid at microsoft cannot understand the use of a disconnected recordset in the real world, there is no other choice.

Calling stored procedure from a stored procedure

I have a stored procedure that accepts a customer prefix like "abc" and returns a customer document number like "abc-0021". (Thanks V Garcia)
This sp works when I call it from SQL Plus Worksheet.
But I need to call it from another stored procedure and store it in a local variable so that I can insert it into a table with the rest of the information.
This is what I have tried so far:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "SCHEMANAME"."SP_XXTESTXX" ( seq_name in
    varchar2)
AS
      id_out varchar(10);
BEGIN
   execute SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER(seq_name,:id_out);
   print id_out;
END;but this will not compile. I get this error:
Line # = 8 Column # = 12 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER" when expecting one of the following:     := . ( @ % ; immediate The symbol ":=" was substituted for "SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER" to continue.
Line # = 8 Column # = 41 Error Text = PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'ID_OUT'
Line # = 10 Column # = 10 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "ID_OUT" when expecting one of the following:     := . ( @ % ; The symbol ":=" was substituted for "ID_OUT" to continue.

I think I got it.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "SCHEMANAME"."SP_XXTESTXX" ( seq_name in
    varchar2)
AS
id_out varchar(10);
BEGIN
SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER(seq_name,id_out);
dbms_output.put_line(id_out);
END;This works like I wanted it to do.

Set page item from a stored procedure

Dear reader
We would like to have a stored procedure to run every 10 minutes. When the procedure starts, the user has to be warned that the update process is running.
When the procedure is finished, the user should receive a message that the update process is finished.
What I had in mind was to set a Page 0 item 'P0_REFRESH' and set his value depending on the status of the update. Then add a dynamic action with a change event. So everytime the value of this page item changes, the user will receive a correct message.
Does anyone know if it is possible to set a page item from a stored procedure?
Kind regards
Xnni

AndyPol
I found a solution by querying the user_jobs table. In Apex, I created two page 0 items that hold the current status of the job (online, offline) and the old value of the job.
Online of offline in the current status item is determined by a decode on "this_sec".
The enext step was to include a html region in P0 that contains some javascript. This javascript will display a message when the values of the new status is different from the old status ;)
Many thanks for bringing up the ideas.

Hi rajni,
I've tryed your solution but it doesn't work, for the same reason that yuo can see here:
Re: questions about dbms_scheduler.create_job (ORA-27371)
I've also tryed the solution of the "user534897", but it doesn't work too.
At execution time Oracle give me this error:
ORA-29540: class djv_osCommand does not exist

If you have any other idea or suggestion you're welcome. At the moment I've no solution for my problem.
Thanks in advance.

Call a Vbscript from a stored procedure

Hi,
I wonder is it possible to call a Vbscript from a stored procedure, any good reference for this.
thanks

Well here is quick and dirty example I just created.
Step 1. Create a test_batch.bat file that creates a folder "c:\test_dir" and copy "c:emp.lst" into it.
C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat
md c:\test_dir
copy c:\emp.lst c:\test_dir
Step2. From SQLPLUS, spool scott.emp into c:\emp.lst and call the batch from the dbms_scheduler that kicks off right away,
set echo off
set feedback off
spool c:\emp.lst;
select * from scott.emp;
spool off;
begin
     dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name => 'run_batch',
     job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
     job_action => 'C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat',
     start_date => sysdate,
     enabled => true,
     comments => 'Run VB Script');
end;
Check if the directory is created and if the file is copied over. Task is to kick off the executable and test is the VBscript within the batch. Challenge is how long the script runs before the next statement in the PL/SQL runs. May be you have to introduce sleep in between.
Note: You must have at least "CREATE JOB" privilege.
Happy coding!

Calling a report from a Stored Procedure

Is it possible to call a Oracle Report from a Stored Procedure or a Packaged Stored Procedure. If Yes, please provide some details.

Shalu,
there's an API available to do this.The feature is called "event driven publishing" (because you can use this even from a trigger) and you can find the documentation here:

Returning a table from a stored procedure

hi, i need to return a table from a stored procedure and show it, and come to this, but a don't know hoy to run it, so i don't know if it is right, can anyone help me?

as
begin
select * into uTable from objects_uptime;
end;

well, i finally discovered how to do the trick
this is the code for the function:

Trigger Unix Program from a stored procedure

Is it possible to start a Unix program as a background OS process from a stored procedure?
In fact I want to call a stored procedure which starts a Unix process. After the termination of this process get the results of the programm (a text file) using UTL_FILE package from the stored procedure and produce an HTML document based on the output of the started process using the htp package.
Thanks, JV

Whats the best way to start a host (Unix) program from a stored procedure or trigger without having to wait for a response from the program (i.e start it and forget it )The BEST way depends on your operating system and version of the Oracle database. If you are at Oracle 10g or higher, I would certainly suggest using dbms_scheduler. In 10gR2 you can set a program to execute on receipt of an event, and the trigger or stored procedure can be the cause of the event.
