Stored function with OUT parameter

Hi there,
anyone knows wether a stored function may have an OUT parameter other than a returning value and/or IN parameter.
I think not but I've a doubt about it.
Thanks
Paolo Paolucci
Oracle Consulting

Mi h capitato sovente di utilizzare funzioni del tipo:
Function PROVA
( param1 IN datatype,
param2 OUT datatype DEFAULT default_value,
param3 IN OUT datatype DEFAULT default_value)
RETURN datatype IS.......
Spero di aver interpretato bene la domanda, ciao

How to call a Stored Function with OUT parameter of %rowType from Java

Hi everyone,
I'm getting crazy trying to make this work.
I have a function (not developed by me) in Oracle 10g declared in this way:
type tab_RLSSP is table of TB_RLSSP_STOSTPRPAR_CL%ROWTYPE index by binary_integer;
FUNCTION DBF_PERL_LISTA_PRATICHE (
p_id_va IN NUMBER,
p_seq_partita IN NUMBER,
p_trattamento IN CHAR,
lrec_RLSSP OUT tab_RLSSP ) RETURN NUMBER;
And here is the code snipplet of my java method:
sql="{? = call "+SCHEMA+PACKAGE+"."+FUNCTION_LIST+"(?,?,?,?)}";
cs=connection.prepareCall(sql);
cs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
cs.setLong(2,idVATitolare);
cs.setLong(3,seqPartita);
cs.setString(4,trattamento);// Caso Decesso
cs.registerOutParameter(5, OracleTypes.OTHER);
cs.executeQuery();
result = (ResultSet) cs.getObject(5);
if (result.next())
listaPratiche.add(readPraticaPartita(result));
The result (exception thrown at executeQuery with statement generated as
SQL : {? = call PEDBA.DBK_PERL_RATEI_SUPPLETIVI.DBF_PERL_LISTA_PRATICHE(?,?,?,?)}:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 13:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'DBF_PERL_LISTA_PRATICHE'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Changing to :
sql="{call ? := "+SCHEMA+PACKAGE+"."+FUNCTION_LISTA+"(?,?,?,?)}";
leading to
SQL : {call ? := call PEDBA.DBK_PERL_RATEI_SUPPLETIVI.DBF_PERL_LISTA_PRATICHE(?,?,?,?)}
don't change anything.
What's wrong? Any suggestion?

Taking for granted that it works, I wonder what's different, probably the output is defined as Cursor...

You mean because of this line?
cs.registerOutParameter(5,OracleTypes.CURSOR);You can either use a cursor or use a function that returns a SQL type instead of the PL/SQL type.
Here is sample code using a cursor
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SCOTT.local_type IS OBJECT (
    empno   NUMBER(4),
    ename   VARCHAR2(10));
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SCOTT.local_tab_type IS TABLE OF local_type;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE SCOTT.test_refcursor_pkg
AS
    TYPE my_ref_cursor IS REF CURSOR;
     -- add more cursors as OUT parameters
     PROCEDURE   test_proc(p_ref_cur_out OUT test_refcursor_pkg.my_ref_cursor);
END test_refcursor_pkg;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY SCOTT.test_refcursor_pkg
AS
     PROCEDURE test_proc(p_ref_cur_out OUT test_refcursor_pkg.my_ref_cursor)
     AS
        l_recs local_tab_type;
     BEGIN
         -- Get the records to modify individually.
         SELECT local_type(empno, ename) BULK COLLECT INTO l_recs
         FROM EMP;
         -- Perform some complex calculation for each row.
         FOR i IN l_recs.FIRST .. l_recs.LAST
         LOOP
             DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(l_recs(i).ename);
         END LOOP;
         -- Put the modified records back into the ref cursor for output.
         OPEN p_ref_cur_out FOR
         SELECT * from TABLE(l_recs);
         -- open more ref cursors here before returning
     END test_proc;
END;
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000
DECLARE
l_cursor test_refcursor_pkg.my_ref_cursor;

Call stored procedure with OUT parameter

Hello,
I have created a short-lived process. Within this process I am using the "FOUNDATION > JDBC > Call Stored Procedure" operation to call an Oracle procedure. This procedure has 3 parameters, 2 IN and 1 OUT parameter.
The procedure is being executed correctly. Both IN parameters receive the correct values but I am unable to get the OUT parameter's value in my process.
Rewriting the procedure as a function gives me an ORA-01460 since one of the parameters contains XML (>32K) so this is not option...
Has someone been able to call a stored procedure with an OUT parameter?
Regards,
Nico

Object is Foundation, Execute Script
This is for a query, you can change to a stored procedure call. Pull the value back in the Java code then put into the process variable.

I am calling a stored procedure that has a "out" parameter of PL/SQL type (table of varchar2) through toplink API. My procedure executes, performs the updates successfully, but I can not obtain the value of the out parameter. Is the approach followed below incorrect? I could not figure out by looking into examples provided in the documentation:

What happens if you run the stored procedure through pure jdbc (without TopLink)?
I tried a simple example that worked for me:
//defined type in the db
CREATE TYPE "TEST"."VAR_LIST" AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(150)
//defined stored procedure in the db
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "TEST"."VAR_LIST_IN_OUT" (
VARS_IN VAR_LIST,
VARS_OUT OUT NOCOPY VAR_LIST
as
begin
VARS_OUT := VAR_LIST();
FOR i IN VARS_IN.FIRST..VARS_IN.LAST LOOP
    VARS_OUT.EXTEND;
    VARS_OUT(i) := CONCAT(VARS_IN(i), '_BLAH');
END LOOP;
end;
// Java code
StoredProcedureCall call = new StoredProcedureCall();
call.setProcedureName("VAR_LIST_IN_OUT");
Connection conn = (Connection) ((oracle.toplink.internal.sessions.AbstractSession)getSession()).getAccessor().getConnection();
oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor arrDesc = new oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor("VAR_LIST", conn);
oracle.sql.ARRAY srARR = new oracle.sql.ARRAY(arrDesc, conn, new String[]{"A1", "A2", "A3"});
call.addNamedArgumentValue("VARS_IN", srARR);
call.addNamedOutputArgument("VARS_OUT", "VARS_OUT", Types.ARRAY, "VAR_LIST");
ValueReadQuery query = new ValueReadQuery();
query.setCall(call);
Object result = getSession().executeQuery(query);
Object[] array = (Object[])((java.sql.Array)result).getArray();
for(int i=0; i<array.length; i++) {
    System.out.println(array);
// System.out:

My stored procedure didn't work (on Oracle 9 db) without output collection initialization: VARS_OUT := VAR_LIST(); and extending: VARS_OUT.EXTEND.

Error while calling a stored procedure with OUT parameter.

Hi,
I am trying to call a Stored Procedure(SP) with an OUT parameter(Ref Cursor) from a third party tool. It is called using OLE-DB Data provider. In one database the procedure works fine but when I change the database the procedure call is giving following error.
Distribution Object:     COM Error. COM Source: OraOLEDB. COM Error message: IDispatch error #3092. COM Description: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
     PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'TEST1'
     ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
     PL/SQL: Statement ignored.
I am not able to find as to why is this happening. Please let me know any clues /help to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

If you're using Oracle Provider for OLE DB (OraOLEDB) to execute this stored procedure, you need to set PLSQLRSet attribute. This attribute can be set in registry, connection string, or command object. Please refer to User Documentation for more information.

Execute immediate for stored procedure with out parameter

Hi,
I have problem with dynamically executing the statement hope anyone can help me.
I have a table which stores the procedure names. and procedure parameter values are stored on another column with parameter values coming from java side.
I have to create a procedure that dynamically executes the procedure on table1 with the values from table 2.
Now I'm getting real trouble to execute immediate this proc with parameters. I tried the DBMS_SQL package as well.
Problem is you need to mention the OUT mode specifically for the out parameter. Can anybody plz help me with this issue??
TABLE1_
PROCESS_ID     PROC_NAME
1      proc1(p1 IN number, p2 IN varchar2, p3 OUT varchar2)
2     proc2(p1 IN number, p2 out varchar2, p3 OUT varchar2)
TABLE2_
PROCESS_ID     PROC_PARMS
1     100, 'test', :return
2     200, :return1, :return2
Thank You

Thank YouSounds like an appalling design and a nightmare waiting to happen.
Why not have your Java just call the correct procedures directly?
Such design smells badly of an entity attribute value modelling style of coding. Notoriously slow, notoriously buggy, notoriously hard to maintain, notoriously hard to read. It really shouldn't be done like that.

Calling Oracle Stored procedure with OUT parameter from ODI

Hi,
I called an oracle stored procedure with following anonymous block in the ODI procedure.
Declare
Status varchar2(10);
Begin
OTM.DeleteTarget('E_KPI_TARGET_VALUE', Status);
End;
I want to capture the OUT parameter STATUS value in a project level variable.
And based on its va;lue I would like to choose between 2 interfaces in my package.
Please help me in doing this.

Hi,
For that kind of situation I commoly use:
1) one step with:
create or replace package <%=odiRef.getSchemaName("W")%>.pck_var
Status varchar2(10);
end;
* transaction 9, for instance
2) step
Begin
OTM.DeleteTarget('E_KPI_TARGET_VALUE', <%=odiRef.getSchemaName("W")%>.pck_var.Status);
End;
* transaction 9
3) then, at an ODI variable, use a refresh like:
select <%=odiRef.getSchemaName("W")%>.pck_var.Status from dual
at same logical shema where the package was created.
Does it make sense to you?

Execute procedure with out parameter in sql*plus

HI All,
I am executing an stored proc with OUT parameter from sql*plus.
Getting this error message:

Whereas it works fine using Toad. 4th parameter is for output.
Thanks.

then you can see the value either using print :var or execute dbms_output.put_line(:var)

Executing a Stored Procedure with OUT Variables

Procedure with out parameter in if-then-else condition

Hi,
I want to fetch the out parameter of a procedure inside another procedure that has if-then-else condition.
<<Proc1_start>>
if ..
then <<proc2_>> --- with out parameter

How to do this...
Thanks.

Ummm, the same way you would do it anywhere else?
Declare variable in proc1 to hold the output of proc2 and then call proc2.

How to write a shell script to execute a procedure with out parameter

Hi,
How to write a shell script to execute a procedure with out parameter.
here is my procedure
PROCEDURE sample(invar1 VARCHAR2,
invar2 VARCHAR2,
invar3 VARCHAR2,
invar4 VARCHAR2,
ecode out number);
Any example really helpfull
Thanks in advance

Or if we're passing values in, maybe something like:
Test procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p (myin IN VARCHAR2, myout OUT VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
    myout :=
        CASE myin
            WHEN 'A' THEN 'APPLE'
            WHEN 'B' THEN 'BANANA'
            ELSE 'STARFRUIT'
        END;
END;Shell script:
#!/bin/bash
my_shell_variable=$1
unset ORACLE_PATH
sqlplus -s un/pw@db <<-EOF
set feedback off pause off
set pagesize 0
set autoprint off
VAR out varchar2(30)
VAR myin varchar2(30)
exec :myin := '${my_shell_variable}'
BEGIN
p(:myin, :out);
END;
print out
exit
EOFTest:
/Users/williamr: xx A
APPLE
/Users/williamr: xx B
BANANA
