Running Stored procedures from Forms

I have several stored procedures (stored in the database) that I
want to run from Forms (client), but when they're running my
application (in Forms) is frozen until the procedure end.
I don't know how to run that stored without lock the application,
somebody Can Help me???

The second parameter of the DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT procedure needs to be
a valid PL/SQL call, i.e. it must at least be terminated by a
semicolon. You could also wrap it into an anonymous PL/SQL block,
like: 'BEGIN SP_CREA_FACTURAS_PADRE; END;'

Call Stored Procedure from Forms 6i -- Urgent Plz...

Dear All,
I am first writing a stored procedure as:-
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
good_hire
(birthdate_in IN DATE,
reqsal_in IN NUMBER)
RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
too_young BOOLEAN :=
ADD_MONTHS
(SYSDATE, -216) >
birthdate_in;
too_expensive BOOLEAN :=
reqsal_in > fin.dept_bal;
BEGIN
RETURN NOT (too_young
OR too_expensive);
END;
Now in my forms also i have the same function,which i defined in in my program unit i.e., with the same name good_hire,but with different parameters.
If I want to call this stored procedure(good_hire)in my form
I am writing this code in the pre-Insert trigger.
IF good_hire
(:newemp.birthdate,
:newemp.proposed_sal)
THEN
SELECT empseq.NEXTVAL
INTO :newemp.empno
FROM dual;
ELSE
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
Notice that i am sending bind variables from my form to the
stored procedure. Now my question :
1) Can i pass bind variables to the stored procedures from
forms or is there any other way i can access the
stored roceures from forms(Expecting a detailed answer) and
from which triggers can I access the stored procedures(like pre-
Insert here)?
2) If at all I have the same parameters in my program unit
function and with the same name good_hire, I know that the code
in the pre-Insert trigger will call only the function in my
program unit and not the stored procedure, but if I like to
call my stored procedure instead of the local function good_hire
then what should I do?
2)As I said before if i have different parameters, for the
stored procedure good_hire and local function good_hire and If
I call good_hire from my pre-insert trigger .. Is it that the
Forms will decide and call the Local function or stored
procedure depending on the parameter list?
I hope all my points are very clear.
I am expecting the best and detailed answer for my
Queries, I also hope these Quests will clear the doubts of many
members in our esteemed group.
Thnx in Advance...
Regards
siree....

Dear Siree,
Oh!! how many Questions? Each how much big??
Ok First of all the answer to your first question.
You can use the Stored procedures in the same way as the Forms procedures. You can pass bind variables to the stored procedures as well. You can also use the stored procedures in any triggers, I think there are no restrictions for that. The only thing is you should be connected to database while compiling the trigger where you are calling the stored procedure.
Answer to your second question.
You cannot direct Forms (I don't know about version 10g), untill 9i, you cannot tell forms to take the stored procedure and leave the local procedure. It will always take the local procedure, once a procedure is called. If not found locally then only it will go for the Stored procedures.
For your third question.
As I told you b4 forms searches for the procedure being called locally first, if locally present, does not go to the stored procedure. If declared by different paramaters in the stored procedure and it is called, then it will throw error (as it first searches for the name locally and if found will take up the one present locally and since that procedure is with different parameter, will throw up error). It is after all a stupid machine and can't think like us.

Calling Stored procedure from Forms 6i

Dear all,
I have a stored procedure having INand INOUT parameters. I need to call it from Forms 6i triggers. Will you please tell me the syntax for calling stored procedure and stored function from Forms 6i and report 6i.

Just the same as for a local procedure, the only restrictions concern package public variables which are not visible from client side PL/SQL, and you probly want to keep the interfaces simple as client side PL/SQL (e.g. the Forms and Reports engines) don't support the same range of datatypes that the database does.

Running stored procedures from HTML DB

Hello.
Is it possible to run stored procedures/functions from HTML DB? If yes, how to do it?
Davide

If the variable v_return_amount is a number, how can you assign a boolean to it? Are you sure your function is valid? I would write it slightly different:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION verify_amount (
v_invoices_pk IN NUMBER,
v_new_amount IN NUMBER
RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
CURSOR c_amount
IS
SELECT amount
FROM invoices
WHERE invoices.invoices_pk = v_invoices_pk;
CURSOR c_dist_amount
IS
SELECT SUM (cost_distribution.amount)
FROM cost_distribution
WHERE cost_distribution.invoices_pk = v_invoices_pk;
v_sum_amount NUMBER;
v_invoices_amount NUMBER;
BEGIN
OPEN c_dist_amount;
FETCH c_dist_amount
INTO v_sum_amount;
CLOSE c_dist_amount;
OPEN c_amount;
FETCH c_amount
INTO v_invoices_amount;
CLOSE c_amount;
IF (v_invoices_amount <= v_sum_amount + v_new_amount)
THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
RETURN FALSE;
END IF;
RETURN v_return_amount;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
RETURN FALSE;
END;
Other than that, I am not sure about your cursors but I can't judge from here. The other thing is how you use the function in the validation process. Can you try to correct and tell if it worked out?

Running stored procedure from unix shell

Hi
I have a stored procedure proc1 stored in a file, code1.txt in my home directory /home/user. How do i execute this file which contains the stored procedure from unix shell? I would really appreciate it if somebody gives me the complete shell script to accomplish the above task.
Thanks.

To put everything together into a single posting:
The EXEC command is a SQL*Plus macro command. It is not a SQL or PL/SQL command.
The only way to execute a stored proc from a client, is to wrap the call in an anonymous PL/SQL block. I.e you need a BEGIN and END PL/SQL wrapper around the call.
E.g.BEGIN
-- calling a stored proc to start leave processing
scott.StartLeaveProcessing;
END;The EXEC macro in SQL*Plus does this automatically for you. Thus less typing. But do not confuse this command with the PL/SQL language.
Second issue. Use bind variables when making calls from clients. And not just for SQL statements, but also for PL/SQL. Unfortuantely this tends to be a hack in SQL*Plus due to the way SQL*Plus itself treats its bind variable assignments. But in principle, this is what you should do when calling an Oracle stored proc from a client:
SQL> -- define a host variable
SQL> var EMPID varchar2(100)
SQL> var FROM_DEPT number
SQL> var TO_DEDPT number;
SQL>
SQL> -- assign values to these (this is where SQL*Plus hacks it)
SQL> exec :EMPID := 100;
SQL> exec :FROM_DEPT := 1;
SQL> exec :TO_DEPT := 2;
SQL>
SQL> -- now make the stored proc call for moving employee 100 from
SQL> -- department 1 to department 2
SQL> EXEC scott.EmployeeTransfer( :EMPID, :FROM_DEPT, :TO_DEPT );
SQL>To do this from a Unix shell script:
#!/bin/bash
# environment variables
# --> put environment such as ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, TWO_TASK
# etc. here <--
# redirect STDIN from TTY (keyboard typewriter device) to the input from
# this file - which means SQL*Plus will not read from the keyboard but read
# from this file its input until the EOF marker/text is encountered
sqlplus -s /nolog << EOF
connect scott/tiger
var EMPID varchar2(100)
var FROM_DEPT number
var TO_DEDPT number;
exec :EMPID := 100;
exec :FROM_DEPT := 1;
exec :TO_DEPT := 2;
exec scott.EmployeeTransfer( :EMPID, :FROM_DEPT, :TO_DEPT );
exit;
EOF
#eof

Different session used when calling stored procedure from form

after commiting data in a form to a table, a stored procedure is called that inserts the data written to the table into several other tables. Some columns in the original table are updated - no commit is issued in the procedure. On returning from the procedure the form is re-queried but the updated columns don't contain the updates. This seems to imply that the stored procedure is running as a different session to the one of the form.
Is this the case? Can we make the form and the stored procedure use the same session so that the data is available in both without having to commit in the procedure?

No. They should be within one session unless you explicitly open a new session.
The reason why you dont see updates of the data block when you requery is probably the changes on the form never go to the back end. I think first you have to make sure data changes go to db table. You can do a commit_form before calling the stored procedure and open up another session (e.g. sqlplus) to check the data in the table changed or not.

Monitoring stored procedure from forms

I am following up on a form, to reach the line that contains a call to a stored procedure, I find the way to load the stored procedure to follow.
The procedure was compiled with debug, thus:
ALTER PACKAGE paquete COMPILE DEBUG package;
ALTER PACKAGE paquete COMPILE DEBUG BODY package;
the user has privileges:
DEBUG CONNECT SESSION to grant usuario;
DEBUG ANY PROCEDURE to grant usuario;
I'm working with Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 and Database 10G.
I can be followed from SqlDeveloper the stored procedure with an anonymous block.
can someone help me

Are you trying to run the DEBUGGER on a database stored procedure or simply monitor the progress of the stored procedure so you will have some idea of when the procedure will complete?
If you are trying to DEBUG the database stored procedure, then Arun is right - this cannot be done through Forms.
If you are trying to monitor the progress of a database stored procedure - there are no Oracle Built-ins to accomplish this, however, Oracle ACE Francois Degrelle has developed a Pluggable Java Component (PJC) that will do this for you. Check out his article: [Forms : a progress bar to follow stored procedure execution | http://fdegrelle.over-blog.com/article-10986844.html] at his blog.
Hope this helps,

Passing Parameter to Stored Procedure from Form

Hello All,
I have been stuck while passing a form parameter to a database Procedure.In the query data source arguments I have provided the parameter Value as :parameter.parameter_1...Is it right...
Can somebody throw some more light on this...
Regards,
Kaps

You can pass the parameters from Forms through the Query Data Source Arguments of this block.
There are a little example on http://www.Friedhold-Matz.de/appl_plan.htm.
I used in block B the Query Data Source Arguments property to fill the
procedure input arguments with the :PARAMTER.P_name of this Form.
Hope it helps

How to Run Stored Procedures from Teststand

I am trying to get teststand to run an SQL stored procedure but I always get the following error
Error executing substep 'Post'.
The following SQL command failed: 'EXECUTE cdt_st_test...'
Native error code -2147217900 0x80040e14
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server:
Syntax error or access violation
It is a test stored procedure that doesn't pass any parameters.
Which steps must I use and how do I pass parameters.

I have sussed it now. I was setting the "Command Type" to stored procedure instead of default. I changed it back and did "EXECUTE cdt_st_test" and it works. I have also added the parameters there as well.

Running DBMS_JOB procedure from form

Hi,
I'm trying to run a dbms_job procedure on a UNIX server submitted via a form running on NT.
The problem is the procedure hangs the form until completion. I can get around this by starting another session and submitting the job there but that is to messy.
Has anyone got any ideas ?
Thanks

Hi
Are you calling the DBMS_JOB package directly in the FORMS environment?
If so, put the DBMS_JOB built-in package on a server side package procedure and them execute that package from your form, passing the necessary parameters.
Hope this may help.

Problem with IN OUT parameters whiloe calling procedure from Form 6i

Hi
Could some help please? I have the following scenario.
I am calling a stored procedure from form 6i by pressing a button on the form. Procedure has two IN OUT parameters, and I am passing these two IN OUT parameters and have declared them the way they are declared passed to the procedure. But I get an error when calling that procedure with these IN OUT parameters. the procedure works fine if parameters are IN only. The error says:
PLS:00363: Expression '1' cannot be used as an assigment target.
NO matter I pass some value or leave it blank, I get the same error message persistenetly.
Please help.
Thanks

make sure you are calling your procedure with variables as parameters,
i.e.
      l_v1 := 1 ;
      l_v2 := 'hello world' ;
      your_proc(l_v1, l_v2)
not
      your_proc(1,'hello world')

Running a SQL Stored Procedure from Power Query with Dynamic Parameters

Hi,
I want to execute a stored procedure from Power Query with dynamic parameters.
In normal process, query will look like below in Power Query. Here the value 'Dileep' is passed as a parameter value to SP.
    Source = Sql.Database("ABC-PC", "SAMPLEDB", [Query="EXEC DBO.spGetData 'Dileep'"]
Now I want to pass the value dynamically taking from excel sheet. I can get the required excel cell value in a variable but unable to pass it to query.
    Name_Parameter = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table3"]}[Content],
    Name_Value = Name_Parameter{0}[Value],
I have tried like below but it is not working.
Source = Sql.Database("ABC-PC", "SAMPLEDB", [Query="EXEC DBO.spGetData Name_Value"]
Can anyone please help me with this issue.
Thanks
Dileep

Hi,
I got it. Below is the correct syntax.
Source = Sql.Database("ABC-PC", "SAMPLEDB", [Query="EXEC DBO.spGetData '" & Name_Value & "'"]
Thanks

How to run a stored procedure from sqlplus

scehma name: aa
package name: bb
procedure name : cc
I run the procedure from sql plus like this...
execute aa.bb.cc
I got error " not defined procedure" any one knows why? thanks!

Based on the information you provided:
1. You are not connected as Schema aa
2. Schema aa has not granted permission to you to execute package bb.
To resolve this issue:
Connect as schema aa
execute following statement:
Grant execute on bb to Your_userName;connect as Your_userName
On SQL*Plus prompt now you can execute this procedure using:
execute aa.bb.cc;Assuming there is no parameter for procedure cc.
You can create synoyms also to avoid specifying "aa".
Thanks,

Error while executing a stored procedure from forms6i

When I execute a STORED PROCEDURE from ORACLE DB 10g this procedure works perfectly fine.
But when I execute the same from the FORMs 6i I get the following error:
PDE-PLU022 Don't have access to the stored program unit
XMLPARSERCOVER in schema CARE.
where XMLPARSERCOVER is the class and
CARE is the schema.
Regards,
Jignesh S

I have tried this with both the owner of the schema and the intended user, -from both forms and directly.
All rights was granted on the stored procedure. Since posting I have found that one of the tables that the procedure might insert into, was not explicitly granted to the intended user, and after rectifying that the error message went away.
-however, the procedure now silently "finishes" without any evidence that it ever ran, if invoked from the forms application. When invoked from SQL Plus (or JDev, or Toad) it runs as expected.
I have no public synonym for the procedure, -is that necessary?
The stored procedure in question is implemented in java, and published as a stored procedure. It does rather heavy lifting, when running, using a view against another server , updating local tables and quite a lot of data validation/cleansing, and logging. All recourses are within the same schema.
Any ideas?
