Return multiple cursors from one procedure

Hi,
I have a stored procedure that is suposed to return multiple records. I know that for each table that I return I have to add a param to the stored procedure, param with ref cursor type.
I do not know exactly how many tables I have to return, it depends on data from some tables.
Is it possible to return an unknown number of tables? like an array or something ...
Please help

In order to keep it transparent to the developer, I have to translate exactly the stored procedures from SQL Server to Oracle.Well "exactly" is not something that you are going to achieve. You're talking about two disperate languages. That's like saying you want to translate French to English, but it must stay French.
You obviously want to mimick the existing functionality, but in some cases you're just going to have to bite the bullet and accept that you won't be able to do it totally transparently. In this case, the developers are going to have to make some changes at their end of things too.
To translate the procedures from T-SQL to Oracle was
the easiest and most convenient option to the
developers, so they will not have to write different
code for Oracle and SQL.But they will. Anyone who evaluated the project and determined that the developers wouldn't need to do anything when moving from one platform to another should be sacked for incompetence.

Returning SQL cursor from Stored Procedure

Hi,
I have a query regarding returning sql cursor from stored procedure to java in oracle 11g.
I want to query some data ex: my query returns A, B, C. Also, now I want to query some other data ex: D, E, F. Now I want to return this data as an sql cursor as a single row . Example: A,B,C,D,E,F. Is it possible to return/create a cursor in stored procedure?
assume both query returns equal number of rows.. however both are not related to each other..

assume both query returns equal number of rows.. however both are not related to each other..It sounds like what you need is a ref cursor.
First thing to remember though is that cursors do not hold any data (see: {thread:id=886365})
In it's simplest form you would be creating a procedure along these lines...
SQL> create or replace procedure get_data(p_sql in varchar2, p_rc out sys_refcursor) is
2 begin
3    open p_rc for p_sql;
4 end;

Help needed in returning multiple columns from one field

Hi,
I have been given a task to rewrite the query (see below), so that I get three columns from the one field, based on their contents.
The script returns all the columns and concatenates them into one, but returns them as comma delimmited within the returned column, to generate a report.

"multiple cursor in a procedure" is possible?

Hi.. everyone.
Is it possible , "multiple cursor in one procedure"?
For example,
create or replace procedure xxx

vBBB varchar2(10);
cursor cur_1 is select .............................;
cursor cur_2 is select .............................;
begin
-- the first cursor
open cur_1;
loop
end loop;
close cur_1;
-- the second cursor
open cur_2;
loop
end loop;
close cur_2;
end;
If it is not possible, what is the way to use
multiple cursor(more than 2) in ONE procedure?
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.

OCI8: returning cursors from stored procedures

The short version of my question is:
In OCI8, how do open a cursor from the database stored procedure, return it to my C++ program and fetch from it, given that in OCI8 cursors and cursor functions are becoming obsoleted?
The long version of the same question is:
I am converting my C++ code from the Oracle 7.3 OCI driver to the Oracle8 OCI driver. One thing I did very frequently in Oracle 7.3 OCI code is open a multi-row select cursor within a stored procedure and return that cursor to my program. In the program, I would then do the fetching with the returned cursor. This was very useful, as it allows me to change the queries in the stored procedure (for example, to append information to certain columns or make some data in all uppercase) without recompiling the application due to a changed SQL string.
My 7.3 psuedocode is as follows:
stored procedure def:
TYPE refCurTyp IS REF CURSOR;
FUNCTION LoadEmployeeData RETURN refCurTyp;
stored procedure body:
FUNCTION LoadEmployeeData RETURN refCurTyp IS
aCur refCurTyp;
BEGIN
OPEN aCur FOR
SELECT emp_id, emp_name
FROM employee_table
ORDER BY emp_name;
return aCur;
END;
OCI code: // all functions are simplified, not actual parameter listing
// declare main cursor variable #1 and return cursor variable #2
Cda_Def m_CDAstmt, m_CDAfunction;
// open both cursors
oopen(m_CDAstmt, ...);
oopen(m_CDAfunction, ...);
// bind cursor variable to cursor #2
oparse(&m_CDAstmt, "BEGIN :CUR := MYPACKAGE.LoadEmployeeData; END;");
obindps(&m_CDAstmt, SQLT_CUR, ":CUR", &m_CDAfunction);
// run cursor #1
oexn(&m_CDAstmt);
// bind variables from cursor #2, and fetch
odefineps(&m_CDAfunction, 1, SQLT_INT, &m_iEmpId);
odefineps(&m_CDAfunction, 2, SQLT_CHAR, &m_pEmpName);
while (!ofen(&m_CDAfunction))
// loop: do something with fetch
// values placed in m_iEmpID and m_pEmpName
This works perfectly, and has really helped to make my code more maintainable. Problem is, in Oracle 8 OCI both cursors and the cursor functions (such as oopen()) are becoming obsoleted. Now it uses statement and environment handles. I know I can still use Cda_Def and cursors--for a while--within OCI8, but I need to know the official up-to-date method of returning a cursor from the database and fetching within my C++ code. Any code fragment, or explanation of what I need to do in OCI8 would be appreciated (perhaps I need to bind to a statement handle instead? But the stored procedure still returns a cursor.)
The Oracle8 OCI has a new SQLT_ type, SQLT_RSET, which the header file defines as "result set type". Unfortunately, it's almost completely undocumented in the official documentation. Am I supposed to use this instead of the obsolete SQLT_CUR?
Thanks,

Custom database functoid to return multiple rows from database

Hi,
I have created a custom database fucntoid to execute a stored procedure which returns just single row from the database.But I could not manage to return multiple rows from the database.
Does anyone know how to return multiple rows from DB and create a node with that many occurrences in the target schema?
Thanks
JB

If you want to do this in messaging-only way without orchestration, then only option let to you is using .NET in BizTalk:
We had similar requirement with one of our clients, where they didn’t want to use orchestration (though we emphasised on less impact orch would have compared to manageability),
they still wanted to have pure-messaging only.
We extended the custom XslTransform component that ships with BizTalk SDK (<BizTalk installation directory>\SDK\Samples\Pipelines\XslTransformComponent)).
Created a custom disassembler pipeline component, used the XslTransform component from SDK to execute the map’s XSLT. Here we created a map with every links except the database ones. After executing the map, access the database, execute the store procedure
which returns more than one row/dataset, enrich the XSLT transformed message with the dataset from your database in disassembler.
Since .NET gives you the flexibility of access the dataset with more than one row, you can enrich the message in custom pipeline code.
Other option is code the message transformation completely in .NET code in custom disassembler by passing the received message to method/code which would code the map/enrichment.
While enriching you can execute the store procedure which returns more than one row/dataset, enrich the message further with the dataset from db.

[UIX] How To: Return multiple values from a LOV

Hi gang
I've been receiving a number of queries via email on how to return multiple items from a LOV using UIX thanks to earlier posts of mine on OTN. I'm unfortunately aware my previous posts on this are not that clear thanks to the nature of the forums Q&A type approach. So I thought I'd write one clear post, and then direct any queries to it from now on to save me time.
Following is my solution to this problem. Please note it's just one method of many in skinning a cat. It's my understanding via chatting to Oracle employees that LOVs are to be changed in a future release of JDeveloper to be more like Oracle Forms LOVs, so my skinning skills may be rather bloody & crude very soon (already?).
I'll base my example on the hr schema supplied with the standard RDBMS install.
Say we have an UIX input-form screen to modify an employees record. The employees record has a department_id field and a fk to the departments table. Our requirement is to build a LOV for the department_id field such that we can link the employees record to any department_id in the database. In turn we want the department_name shown on the employees input form, so this must be returned via the LOV too.
To meet this requirement follow these steps:
1) In your ADF BC model project, create 2 EOs for employees and departments.
2) Also in your model, create 2 VOs for the same EOs.
3) Open your employees VO and create a new attribute DepartmentName. Check selected in query. In expressions type (SELECT dept.department_name FROM departments dept WHERE dept.department_id = employees.department_id). Check Updateable always.
4) Create a new empty UIX page in your ViewController project called editEmployees.uix.
5) From the data control palette, drag and drop EmployeesView1 as an input-form. Notice that the new field DepartmentName is also included in the input-form.
6) As the DepartmentName will be populated either from querying existing employees records, or via the LOV, disable the field as the user should not have the ability to edit it.
7) Select the DepartmentId field and delete it. In the UI Model window delete the DepartmentId binding.
8) From the data controls palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field as a messageLovInput onto your page. Note in your application navigator a new UIX page lovWindow0.uix (or similar) has been created for you.
9) While the lovWindow0.uix is still in italics (before you save it), rename the file to departmentsLov.uix.
10) Back in your editEmployees.uix page, your messageLovInput source will look like the following:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
    destination="lovWindow0.uix"/>Change it to be:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="DepartmentId"
    destination="departmentsLov.uix"
    partialRenderMode="multiple"
    partialTargets="_uixState DepartmentName"/>11) Also change your DepartmentName source to look like the following:
<messageTextInput
    id=DepartmentName
    model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
    columns="10"
    disabled="true"/>12) Open your departmentsLov.uix page.
13) In the data control palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field of the DepartmentView1 as a LovTable into the Results area on your page.
14) Notice in the UI Model window that the 3 binding controls have been created for you, an iterator, a range and a binding for DepartmentId.
15) Right click on the DepartmentsLovUIModel node in the UI Model window, then create binding, display, and finally attribute. The attribute binding editor will pop up. In the select-an-iterator drop down select the DepartmentsView1Iterator. Now select DepartmentName in the attribute list and then the ok button.
16) Note in the UI Model you now have a new binding called DCDefaultControl. Select this, and in the property palette change the Id to DepartmentName.
17) View the LOV pages source, and change the lovUpdate event as follows:
<event name="lovSelect">
    <compound>
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentId" />
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentName" />
    </compound>
</event>18) Return to editEmployees.uix source, and modify the lovUpdate event to look as follows:
<event name="lovUpdate">
    <compound>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentId}" target="${bindings.DepartmentId}" property="inputValue"/>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentName}" target="${bindings.DepartmentName}" property="inputValue"/>
    </compound>
</event>Thats it. Now when you select a value in your LOV, it will return 2 (multiple!) values.
A couple things to note:
1) In the messageLovInput id field we dont use the .path notation. This is mechanism for returning 1 value from the LOV and is useless for us.
2) Again in the messageLovInput we supply _uixState as an entry in the partialTargets.
3) We are relying on partial-page-refresh functionality to update multiple items on the screen.
Im not going to take the time out to explain these 3 points, but its worthwhile you learning more about them, especially the last 2, as a separate exercise.
One other useful thing to do is, in your messageLovInput, include as a last entry in the partialTargets list MessageBox. In turn locate the messageBox control on your page (if any), and supply an id=MessageBox. This will allow the LOV to place any errors raised in the MessageBox and show them to the user.
I hope this works for you :)
Cheers,
CM.

Thanks Chris,
It took me some time to find the information I needed, how to use return multiple values from a LOV popup window, then I found your post and all problems were solved. Its working perfectly, well, almost perfectly.
Im always fighting with ADF-UIX, it never does the thing that I expect it to do, I guess its because I have a hard time letting go of the total control you have as a developer and let the framework take care of a few things.
Anyway, I'm using your example to fill 5 fields at once, one of the fields being a messageChoice (a list with countries) with a LOV to a lookup table (id , country).
I return the countryId from the popup LOV window, that works great, but it doesn't set the correct value in my messageChoice . I think its because its using the CountryId for the listbox index.
So how can I select the correct value inside my messageChoice? Come to think of it, I dont realy think its LOV related...
Can someone help me out out here?
Kind regards

How to return multiple values from dialog popup

hi all
I'm using ADF 10g. I have a requirement that I have to return multiple values from a dialog.
I have a page containing a table with a button which calls the dialog. The dialog contains a multi-select table where i want to select multiple records and add them to the table in the calling page.
In the backing bean of the calling page, I have the returnListener method.
I am thinking that I have to store the selected rows from dialog in an array and return that array to the returnListener...but I don't know how to go about it with the code.
Can someone help me out with it?
thanks

Hi Frank,
I'm trying to implement your suggestion but getting comfused.
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, hashMap) is called in ActionListener method, from what I understood.
ReturnListener method already calls it, so no need to call explicitly.
Okay here's what i'm doing.
command button launches the dialog on the calling page.
In the dialog page, there is a button "select", which when i click, closes the dialog and returns to calling page. I put a af:returnActionListener on this button, which logically should have a corresponding ReturnListener() in the calling page backing bean.
Now I have 3 questions:
1. do i have to use ActionListener or ReturnListener?
2. where do I create the hashMap? Is it in the backing bean of the dialog or in the one of calling page?
3. how do I retrieve the keys n values from hashmap?
please help! thanks
This is found in the backing bean of calling page:

How to move cursor from one textfield to another textfield byusing enterkey

hii all,
I have a problem in java script.
To move cursor from one textbox to another text box ,I have take the length of the textboxes of the first column.I used onkeyDown event .
in the function ,firest i checked the condition like
for(i=0;i<form1.box.length;i++) //box is the name of the textboxes
if(event.keyCode==13)
form1.box[i+1].focus();
return false;
by using this the cursor is moving from first text box to secon textbox and stops.
if i use event.returnValue=false; instead of return false ,then the cursor automatically going to the laxt textbox of the column.
my problem is how i can focus the cursor from one textbox to another textbox one after the other till the end.
if any one has solution please help me.
also if we can do in another way also,please help me.

To move cursor from one textbox to another text box ,I have taken the length of the textboxes of the first column.I used onkeyDown event .
in the function ,first i checked the condition like
for(i=0;i<form1.box.length;i++) //box is the name of the textboxes
if(event.keyCode==13)
form1.box[i+1].focus();
return false;
by using this the cursor is moving from first text box to second textbox and stops.
if i use event.returnValue=false; instead of return false ,then the cursor automatically going to the laxt textbox of the column.
my problem is how i can focus the cursor from one textbox to another textbox one after the other till the end.
if any one has solution please help me.

Add to Multiple Tables from One Page

Hello,
I am building an application that handles hardware inventory (APEX 4.0). I have an input page that adds data to two or more tables all at once. The page has two forms on it that point to two separate tables. However when I try to run the page, it fails and returns an error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 437: PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "ORH_LAST_UPDATE_DATE": invalid identifier ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
     Error      Unable to process row of table IDD_ID_DATA.
So far as i can see within the App, that column is not at issue (I am not even doing anything to it and it is nullable). I have looked into the App itself as well as doing some online research but have found nothing helpful...
So my question is this: Is it possible to add to multiple tables from one page? If so how do I do it?
I am new to APEX so any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE:
I received an email from the APEX Support Team:
"The simple answer is that you will need to manually code the DML (and query) processes if you wish to maintain multiple tables from one page (There is a limit of one table when using the built-in processes).
In order to do this I suggest you delete the processes generated by the wizards and create PL/SQL processes with insert, update, delete statements as necessary. Such coding is not difficult but is more time consuming than when you can use built-in processes."
I have been playing around with PL/SQL code and the end result is this:
begin
     INSERT INTO table1
     VALUES(
          :P2_Item_Field1,
          :P2_Item_Field2);
     INSERT INTO table2
     VALUES(
          :P2_Item_Field1,
          :P2_Item_Field2);
end;
I used this code in a custom PL/SQL Process in the Processing>Processes section of Page Processing and it seems to work fine now. The only downside to this method is if the name of a Page Item is changed the code will also have to be changed. Other than that i have had no problems.

Moving multiple queries from one category to another in QM

Hi All,
Is there is any way of moving multiple queries from one category to another in the query manager?
Or is the only way of doing it by saving each one individually into a different category.
Any ideas ?
Regards,
Rakesh N

Hi Rakesh,
The query manager has limited function compare with normal file management applications. Under current design, you have to do this one by one. You just need to make sure move the smaller amount of queries to large category. Category name can be changed easily.
Thanks,
Gordon

Can we define cursors from in procedure while using .procedure file?

Hi Team,
Can we define cursors from in procedure while using .procedure file?
I have a catalog procedure in which am using cursors and it is working fine. But while trying to create the same procedure using .procedure , the validation is failing with "An error occurred while parsing your procedure".
Request your suggestions.
Regards,
Krishna Tangudu

Hi Krishna,
I also tried to find the validation for procedure and failed. What was on my mind when I posted earlier was related to Window -> Properties -> SAP HANA -> Modeler -> Validation Rules but this is not the same for procedure.
Also the validation error seems to not being raised by Studio but the server, so it's not a frontend validation anyway.
Trying to replicate your error I create two procedures here and both worked fine with cursor.
The behavior you found was the same I found, the .procedure goes to repository and _SYS_BIC after activation and .hdbprocedure goes to catalog only.
As far as I understood as you are moving from catalog (manually) and it worked on catalog (.hdbprocedure), I could check the declaration of table types of header as it's the main difference.
Despite this investigation of declaration, you can try create it on modeler direct and see what you found on .procedure created. This can speed up investigation.
Regards, Fernando Da Rós
BTW: I'm faced an very strange behavior that each caracter I type on .procedure or .hdbprocedure freezes studio by around 15 seconds ?!?!?!?! (studio rev73)
