.sql program VS stored procedure

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating a lot of .sql files into Oracle warehouse Builder programs.
So most of them will be converted to stoted procedure, Before committing anything , Just a quick question ..
Can there be any statements which is ONLY possible in .SQL files (OS level files)
and which is NOT possible in Stored procedure ?
cheers
Ranjeesh

Depends on what kind of code you have in those SQL-script files.
SQL*Plus commands cannot be used in PL/SQL procedure, e.g. COLUMN-formatting, environment SETting, and BREAK etc.
There should not be any problem with converting DMLs. But, in case of DDLs you will have to use dynamic PL/SQL.

Calling SQL * LOADER in stored procedure

Hi Experts,
Can we call sql*loader in stored procedures? . If yes , please let me know the syntax.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can also use dbms_schedular to execute any shell or batch file - i guess ->
BEGIN
-- UNIX
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job(
    job_name             => 'unix_command_job',
    job_type             => 'EXECUTABLE',
    number_of_arguments => 1,
    job_action           => '/bin/ls',
    auto_drop            => FALSE,
    enabled              => FALSE);
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_job_argument_value('unix_command_job',1,'/tmp');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_attribute('unix_command_job', 'credential_name', 'TIM_HALL_CREDENTIAL');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_attribute('unix_command_job', 'destination', 'marge.localdomain:65001');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('unix_command_job');

How to execute .sql file in Stored Procedure?

Hi,
I have an urgent requirement, where i have to execute .sql file form Stored Procedure.
This .sql file will have set of update statement. I need to pass value to this update statement.
Kindly please help me.
Regards,
Irfan

This is required as part of Data Migration where i have to do 100 of table's update. Each time update table will defer, so its better to have in separate script file (.sql). Can u paste some sample/syntax to exceute .sql file from stored procedure. I am new to this PL/SQL.
How have you determined that it's "better" to have seperate scripts? I assume you mean the table name will "differ" (and not "defer" - I assume that's just because English isn't your first language? no problem - I think I understand what you're asking).
So what I think you're asking is that you have dynamic table names but each table needs to be updated in the same way?
Question: Why do you have tables with different names that all need the same process doing to them?
Assuming it's a valid requirement (and 99% of the time doing dynamic coding implies it's not).... you could use dynamic code, rather than 'scripts'...
e.g.
create procedure update_table(tbl_name varchar2) is
begin
execute immediate 'update '||tbl_name||' set lastupdate = null';
end;
As you haven't bothered to provide a database version, any example code/data or explanation of what you're actually doing, you're not going to get any detailed answer. Please do take the time to read the FAQ and post appropriate details so people can help you.

MS SQL Server system stored procedures can't be migrated into Oracle 11g

During database migration from MS SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g R2, if the application stored procedure invokes the MS SQL Server system stored procedures (for example: sp_getapplock, sp_releaseapplock ....), these SQL server system stored procedures can't be transferred. See following migrated Oracle application stored procedure for example:
create or replace
PROCEDURE spPwSysID_GetNextID
v_ID OUT NUMBER,
iv_SysType IN NVARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ,
iv_Cnt IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL
AS
v_SysType NVARCHAR2(50) := iv_SysType;
v_Cnt NUMBER(10,0) := iv_Cnt;
v_result NUMBER(10,0);
BEGIN

utils.incrementTrancount;
v_Systype := UPPER(v_Systype) ;
IF v_Cnt < 1 THEN

BI Publisher 11g - calling SQL Server 2005 stored procedure error

Hi experts
I have been calling succesfully an SQL server 2005 stored procedure for the data model of a BI publisher report in 10g, passing it a customerNo parameter.
EXEC     [dbo].[usp_WelcomeLettersConsumerNo]
          @CustomerNo = :sCustomerNo
However it does not work in 11g I get the error:
[Hyperion][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'is'.
which is frustrating as there is no 'is' in the statement (perhaps it is picking up :s?) - I wonder does anyone know if there has been a change in 11g that may be causing this?
cheers
Tim

What is the data dictionary that stores the SQL text of stored procedures?

I am handling both Oracle 8i on IBM AIX 5L and Oracle9i on SUN Soliars 8 /9.
What is/are the data dictionary tables, or v$ views that store the SQL text of stored procedured and triggers?
Thank you in advance!

If the procedures are not wrapped, you can view them in the dba/all/user_source view. Trigger bodies can be seen in dba/all/user_triggers view.

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..

First thing to remember though is that cursors do not hold any data (see: {thread:id=886365})

Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures to Develop Crystal Report

Hi All,
I want to learn how to create crystal report off of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure. So anybody please let me know from where I can download the documentation on "Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures for crystal report.
I am using Crystal Report XI. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hello,
When CR uses Stored Porcedures we only look at the last SELECT statement. We can't use TMP tables because they are owned by the system and not the user. Even though you created them under your logon credentials you are not the actual owner. Or so I have found so far.... CR does not have permissions to get to those temp tables. If you can find out dynamically what the table names are called then it may work. I don't have a sample but it has the usual table info with a random GUID or temp name, really long, and changes every time.
What should work is create a real table, not one of MS's tempTables and then push all your data to that table and then the last select statement returns all of your data from that temp table:
SELECT * FROM MYTEMPTABLE.DBO.TABLE.
Then CR should ahve no issues.
It may be that the JDBC driver has problems. Test it using OLE DB or ODBC.
Thanks again

Pass unicode data in SQL Server 2008 stored procedure parameter

Hi,
I want to pass unicode data in a SQL stored procedure. But I am not sure that how to append N with NVarchar datatype.
For example I Create a table LocalizationTest and wants to insert a few records.
Create table LocalizationTest
Field1 NVarchar(255)
INSERT INTO LocalizationTest
VALUES(N'123 Illini Dr, 東皮奧里亞, 8989')
the above given statement works.
To explain it more , script A works but script B does not work.
DECLARE @X NVARCHAR(255)
[A]
SET @X=N '123 Illini Dr, 東皮奧里亞, 8989'
INSERT INTO LocalizationTest
VALUES(@X)
[B]
SET @X= '123 Illini Dr, 東皮奧里亞, 8989'
INSERT INTO LocalizationTest
VALUES(@X)
What is the correct way to execute script B because @X will be passed in a SQL Stored Procedure?
Thanks
Sharma M.

If you do not pass the value as a Unicode value there is nothing left of the Unicode characters but question marks. Once this has happened, AFAIK there is no way to undo it (other than resetting the value as Unicode characters again).
Affirmative.
Demo - This is what happens if you convert UNICODE (nvarchar) to varchar with implicit conversion (try to force 2 bytes into one byte).
3F hex is '?'.
CREATE TABLE #LocalizationTest (Field1 VARCHAR(255))
INSERT INTO #LocalizationTest
VALUES(N'123 Illini Dr, 東皮奧里亞, 8989')
DECLARE @X NVARCHAR(255), @dSQL NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @X=N'123 Illini Dr, 東皮奧里亞, 8989'
INSERT INTO #LocalizationTest VALUES(CONVERT(NVARCHAR(255),@X))
SET @dSQL = N'INSERT INTO #LocalizationTest VALUES(N'''+@X+''')'
PRINT @dSQL
EXEC sp_ExecuteSQL @dSQL
SELECT *, Field1Bin=convert(binary(30), Field1) FROM #LocalizationTest
DROP TABLE #LocalizationTest
123 Illini Dr, ?????, 8989 0x31323320496C6C696E692044722C203F3F3F3F3F2C203839383900000000

Dynamic SQL and Oracle stored procedures

Does anybody has any experience with invoking an Oracle stored procedures
with output parameters, using dynamic SQL from Forte?
Thanks,
Dimitar

I would be interested. We are currently using a homegrown DataMapper architecture with the Microsoft OracleClient. I would like to move to ODP.Net once a production version supporting ADO.Net 2.0 is available. After that, I would then like to look at using an off the shelf persistence framework such as EntitySpaces, NHibernate or IdeaBlade's DevForce.

How can I transfer a XML file content to a MS SQL database by stored procedure using LabWindows/CVI SQL Toolkit?

Hi,
I have a problem to transfer a XML file content to a MS SQL database by a given/fixed stored procedure. I'm able to transfer the content of the file by using following method ...
hstmt = DBPrepareSQL (hdbc, EXEC usp_InsertReport '<Report> ..... </Report>');
resCode = DBExecutePreparedSQL (hstmt);
resCode = DBClosePreparedSQL (hstmt);
... but in this case I'm not able to fetch the return value of the stored procedure!
I have tried to follow the example of the stored procedure in the help documentation (DBPrepareSQL) but I miss a datatype for xml?!?
Any idea how to solve my problem?
KR Cake
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After some additional trials I found a solution by calling the stored procedure in this way
DBSetAttributeDefault (hdbc, ATTR_DB_COMMAND_TYPE, DB_COMMAND_STORED_PROC);
DBPrepareSQL (hdbc, "usp_InsertReport");
DBCreateParamInt (hstmt, "", DB_PARAM_RETURN_VALUE, -1);
DBCreateParamChar (hstmt, "XMLCONTENT", DB_PARAM_INPUT, sz_Buffer, (int) strlen(sz_Buffer) + 1 );
DBExecutePreparedSQL (hstmt);
DBClosePreparedSQL (hstmt);
DBGetParamInt (hstmt, 1, &s32_TestId);
where sz_Buffer is my xml file content and s32_TestID the return value of the stored procdure (usp_InsertReport(@XMLCONTENT XML))
Now I face the problem, that DBCreateParamChar limits the buffer size to 8000 Bytes.
Any idea to by-pass this shortage??

Cannot execute a MS SQL Server 2005 Stored procedure via OSB BS

I created the jca from Jdeveloper using DBAdapter. Then from eclipse I created the wsdl by generating the service. Then I imported all the relevant files in OSB console and created the business service. After executing the business service I get the below error (Pls scroll down).
I tried many combination s. I tested with a stored procedure which returns only 1 row and 1 column and I hardcoded the column value. I also tried a stored procedure without any input parameters.
I am sure there is no problem with the deployment of the datasource because I can execute operations to a table for select, update, delete using a business service following the above procedures.
I created the stored proc following the same steps for select, update, delete. Also one more info is that when I call a stored proc from Oracle XE database it is working fine.
My JDBC version is 4 . I am using the jar file provided by Microsoft that is sqljdbc4.
Web Logic Server - 11gR1
OSB - 11g + coherence + OEPE
JDeveloper - 11.1.1.3.0
can someone please help. This is very urgent. I have tried many combination's to get this to work from last 3 days without any luck.

XmlAgg Order By in SQL Statement vs Stored Procedure - 9.2.0.3.0

Hi All,
I'm having a problem with the XMLAgg function's ORDER BY clause after upgrading to 9.2.0.3.0.
I'm finding that I can succesfully execute a SQL statement with the XMLAgg ORDER BY clause, but cannot compile a stored procedure using ORDER BY. Below are two examples executing against the SCOTT Schema. They use the same code, except one is contained in a procedure.
I'm running 9.2.0.3.0 on Windows XP Pro, SP1
Plain SQL Statement (executes correctly):
SELECT
XMLElement("test",
XMLAgg(
XMLElement("element",
XMLAttributes(Scott.Emp.Ename as "ename", Scott.Emp.Empno as "enum")
) --xmlElement element
ORDER BY Scott.Emp.Ename desc
) --XmlAgg
).getClobVal() --xmlElement test
as TestXML
from Scott.Emp;
Stored Procedure:
create or replace procedure zorder(TestXML OUT clob) is
begin
SELECT
XMLElement("test",
XMLAgg(
XMLElement("element",
XMLAttributes(Scott.Emp.Ename as "ename", Scott.Emp.Empno as "enum")
) --xmlElement element
ORDER BY Scott.Emp.Ename desc
) --XmlAgg
).getClobVal() --xmlElement test
into TestXML
from Scott.Emp;
end zorder;
I get the following errors when attempting to compile the stored procedure:
7 PLS-00306: wrong number of types or arguments in call to 'XMLAGG'
7 PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "XMLAGG": invalid identifier
5 PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
Does anybody know why this code executes correctly in a SQL statement, but fails in a procedure? Is the Order By clause not available in a procedure? I need to get this functionality working in the procedure.
Thanks,
Brian

A good simple workaround (that doesn't require runtime parsing) is to simply sub-query:
SELECT
XMLElement("test",
Â Â Â Â XMLAgg(
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â XMLElement(
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â "element",
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â XMLAttributes(Scott.Emp.Ename as "ename", Scott.Emp.Empno as "enum")
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ) --xmlElement element
Â Â Â Â ) --XmlAgg
).getClobVal() --xmlElement test
into TestXML
from (
Â Â Â Â SELECT Ename,Empno
Â Â Â Â FROM Scott.Emp
Â Â Â Â ORDER BY Scott.Emp.Ename desc

Launch the SQL*Loader From Stored Procedure???

Is it possible to aaunch the SQL*Loader from a stored procedure? Please help!

Try the documentation on external procedures

SQL*Loader with Stored Procedure slow

I have a situation where if SQL*Loader is running then stored procedures returning cursors are excruciatingly slow (about 3 minutes) if the same stored procedure is run via SQL statements it runs fine. The stored procedures also run fine if SQL*Loader is not running. Has anyone seen this before, any thoughts?
Thanks,
ed

My query was:
SELECT *
FROM scheme.table@as400 a
WHERE a.vlvalr = to_char(p_vlvalr)
and a.vlvals = to_char(p_vlvals);
Without the to_char! When I add the to_char, the problem is solved!
