Running a stored procedure using  isqlPlus

I have written a simple stored procedure which takes EMPLOYEE_ID as IN parameter returns EMPLOYEE_FIRST_NAME as OUT parameter (For Learning purpose only)
How do I run this stored procedure using isqlPlus.
Below is my stored procedure.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "HR"."MY_PROC_2" (
EMPLOYEE_ID_NUM in NUMBER,
EMPLOYEE_FIRST_NAME out VARCHAR2
as
begin
Select FIRST_NAME into EMPLOYEE_FIRST_NAME from Employees
where Employee_ID = EMPLOYEE_ID_NUM;
return;
end;

did you run that same procedure in SQL*Plus and it functioned ?

  • CR2008 - How to run a Stored Procedure using Command Window

    Hi everybody,
    To generate my reports, I always adopted the foll. strategy:
      (a) Create a SQL Stored Procedure (with Input parameters) in Management Studio
      (b) Design a report in Crystal Report using the SP as datasource
    I want to experiment something different.
    Instead of using the SP as datasource, I wish to use the SQL Command window in CR2008.
    I have never succeeded to make it work.
    So, I am giving a simple example below , listing all my steps, so you can spot where my problem is:
    (A) Create a simple Stored Procedure in SSMS called [dbo].[usp_2014]
    USE [SIMUL02]
    GO
    /****** Object:  StoredProcedure [dbo].[usp_2014]    Script Date: 07/21/2014 12:40:22 ******/
    SET ANSI_NULLS ON
    GO
    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
    GO
    ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_2014] @Project nvarchar(15)
    AS
    SELECT DocEntry, DocDate, U_ShipDept, DocTotalSy FROM ORDR
    WHERE U_ShipCode = @Project
    (B) Create a Crystal Report called TEST.rpt
          I typed the following in the Command Window (see Capture.jpg)
              {CALL "SIMUL02"."dbo"."usp_2014";1({?Project1})}
    (C) I verify the database. I get this error message:
          Failed to retrieve data from the database
            Invalid character value for cast specification
    I am blocked from here.
    Please let me know what has gone and what I must do to continue my tests.
    Thanks
    Leon Lai

    Hi Abhilash
    I copied and pasted your formula:
    Exec "SIMUL02"."dbo"."usp_2014" '{?Project}'
    Now it works!
    So, probably I typed something wrong, and did not notice
    Thanks a lot for your patience and great reply

  • Java Stored Procedure using XSU on 9i Lite

    I have create Java Stored Procedure using XML SQL Utility to return results in XML format. I have tested the stored procedure on the development machine (with SDK and Webtogo)without any problem. When I tested it on the client machine (with only the lite database for Window download from the webtogo server as part of the setup), there's an error [POL-8035] no such attribute or method when I call the procedure through MSQL. However, after calling the stored procedure the 3rd times, it will return the results in XML. Once I logout after that, I will have to call the same SP 3 times (always 3 times) before I get the results.
    I'm running on Win2000, Oracle lite 5.0.1. with jdk 1.3.1 - same for the development machine.
    I'm using the same xsu12.jar file.
    What did I miss?

    Nothing?
    No one? No ideias?

  • Improve the performance in stored procedure using sql server 2008 - esp where clause in very big table - Urgent

    Hi,
    I am looking for inputs in tuning stored procedure using sql server 2008. l am new to performance tuning in sql,plsql and oracle. currently facing issue in stored procedure - need to increase the performance by code optmization/filtering the records using where clause in larger table., the requirement is Stored procedure generate Audit Report which is accessed by approx. 10 Admin Users typically 2-3 times a day by each Admin users.
    It has got CTE ( common table expression ) which is referred 2  time within SP. This CTE is very big and fetches records from several tables without where clause. This causes several records to be fetched from DB and then needed processing. This stored procedure is running in pre prod server which has 6gb of memory and built on virtual server and the same proc ran good in prod server which has 64gb of ram with physical server (40sec). and the execution time in pre prod is 1min 9seconds which needs to be reduced upto 10secs or so will be the solution. and also the exec time differs from time to time. sometimes it is 50sec and sometimes 1min 9seconds..
    Pl provide what is the best option/practise to use where clause to filter the records and tool to be used to tune the procedure like execution plan, sql profiler?? I am using toad for sqlserver 5.7. Here I see execution plan tab available while running the SP. but when i run it throws an error. Pl help and provide inputs.
    Thanks,
    Viji

    You've asked a SQL Server question in an Oracle forum.  I'm expecting that this will get locked momentarily when a moderator drops by.
    Microsoft has its own forums for SQL Server, you'll have more luck over there.  When you do go there, however, you'll almost certainly get more help if you can pare down the problem (or at least better explain what your code is doing).  Very few people want to read hundreds of lines of code, guess what's it's supposed to do, guess what is slow, and then guess at how to improve things.  Posting query plans, the results of profiling, cutting out any code that is unnecessary to the performance problem, etc. will get you much better answers.

  • Weird Problem calling Stored Procedure using JDBC

    Scenario is..
    I have J2EE application and calling stored procedure using JDBC.
    My application connects to instance "A" of testDB.
    Schema "A" does NOT own any packages/procedure but granted execute on oracle packages/procedures that reside in schema "B" of testDB.
    In java code I call procedure(proc1) in package(pac1) which internally calls procedure(proc2) in package(pac2).
    The problem occurs when procedure pac2.proc2 is modified. After the modification, my java code fails and throws an exception "User-Defined Exception" and I am also getting "ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called". This clears up only if I bounce the web container. (This doesn't happen if I modify pac1.proc1 and run my application)
    Has any one faced this problem? Please suggest if any thing can be changed in jdbc code to fix this problem.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I assume these are PL/SQL packages and that the changes are made at the package specification level?
    If so, it looks like you are hitting the PL/SQL dependencies rules. In other words, if the spec of proc2 is changed, then proc1 is invalidated, since proc1 still depends on the old version of proc2's spec. As a result, if you try to run proc1, its spec must either be explicitly rewritten before it could run again or implicitly recompiled first, if the (implicit) recompilation fails, it won’t run.

  • Calling an Oracle stored procedure using Toplink API - Please help

    Hi,
    We are evaluating Toplink as a possible data access layer in large service-oriented application. The ability to call db stored procedures from within business object layer is crucial for our architechture.
    I am trying to follow toplink application developer's guide examples on how to call stored procedures using toplink.
    I have the folling java code:
    call.setProcedureName("PR_ROMAN_TEST");
    call.addNamedArgument("IN_PARAM");
    call.addNamedOutputArgument("OUT_PARAM");
    ValueReadQuery query = new ValueReadQuery();
    query.setCall(call);
    query.addArgument("IN_PARAM");
    Vector params = new Vector();
    params.addElement(new Integer(5));
    Number result = (Number) session.executeQuery(query, params);
    This generates the following SQL statement:
    BEGIN PR_ROMAN_TEST(IN_PARAM=>5, OUT_PARAM=>?); END;
    An attempt to execute it causes a
    java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index.
    As I understand it, this exception is thrown because of the "?" in place of the out-parameter value holder.
    The SQL statement that I would want toplink to generate and execute should look like:
    DECLARE result number; BEGIN PR_ROMAN_TEST(IN_PARAM=>5, OUT_PARAM=>result); END;
    , but how do I achieve it and how do I capture the return value, all using toplink api?
    Please help
    Thank you in advance,
    Roman

  • ORA-21700 Error when running C# stored procedure to do a spatial query

    Hi All
    I'm having trouble running a C# stored procedure that (via another object) that falls over running a spatial query with the following error.
    OAR-21700 object does not exist or is marked for delete
    If I take the sql of the spatial query out and run it separately in SqlPlus it runs as expected.
    If I use the object that executes the spatial query via NUnit (i.e. executed on the client, rather than the server) it also works as expected.
    Can anyone help? Is there some issue using Oracle Spatial queries with the Oracle Database Extensions for .NET?

    I can indeed. Here is a slightly simplified version:
    SELECT secondary_catch.mi_prinx AS primarykey
    FROM mapinfo_data.secondary_catch
    WHERE sdo_relate (secondary_catch.geoloc,
    (SELECT geoloc
    FROM training_6.building_polygons
    WHERE building_id = 10002507117),
    'mask=anyinteract querytype=WINDOW'
    ) = 'TRUE'
    Interestingly, if I attempt to run this query inside a C# stored procedure using the implicit context connection (i.e. OracleConnection.ConnectionString = "context connection=true") it fails with the error I described above.
    If however I create a new connection and connect as a regular user on my database, the query works correctly.
    So in that sense I have a workaround, but I'd like to avoid using it if I can as creating a new explicit connection is an overhead I can do without.

  • How to call Oracle Stored Procedure using EDQ

    Can someone tell me how to use Oracle Stored Procedure call in EDQ, sample scripts/steps will be really helpful. Thanks!

    It is also possible to do this using a custom processor in EDQ. The processor needs to do something very similar to the external task above (opens a DB connection, authenticates, runs a stored procedure).
    If you need this, please talk us through the use case so we can determine if it is the best fit. In some ways, an external task is better as logically a stored procedure call is normally divorced from any process logic in EDQ.

    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.

    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

  • Running a stored procedure in JDev initiates a bpel compile

    When I want to run a stored procedure from the connections area to test it this action always initiates a bpel compile for the highlighted bpel process in the applications palette. It is annoying and time consuming but if the bpel compile fails I can't run the stored procedure either.
    What is with this 'feature'?

    I'm still plagued by this 'symptom/feature'. Is there any workaround?
