Stored procedure serves up its own code

I have a stored procedure in Oracle with no in, out or inout
parameters and it works but . . ..
it also serves up its own sql code as content!?!
How can I prevent this?
Thanks

What do you mean by that, exactly? Do you have
an example of what it is doing or some code from the SP?

Java Stored Procedure / Server Side / Client Side / connection

Hi,
I would like to know if we can know at the runtime with a JDBC api if the stored procedure is running in client side or in server side ?
THANKS

You wrote
"Java stored procedures -- by definition - are stored in the 8i rdbms. !!"
From the Oracle8i Java Stored Procedures Developer's Guide
Release 8.1.5
A64686-01
"If you create Java class files on the client side, you can use loadjava to upload them into the RDBMS. Alternatively, you can upload Java source files and let the Aurora JVM compile them. In most cases, it is best to compile and debug programs on the client side, then upload the class files for final testing within the RDBMS"
This means that you can create shared classes that are used on both the client and server side. The source does not need to reside within the server (according to their documentation). Please also note the following from the Oracle8i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference Release 8.1.5 A64685-01 for using the getConnection() method on the server:
"If you connect to the database with the DriverManager.getConnection() method, then use the connect string jdbc:oracle:kprb:. For example:
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:kprb:");
Note that you could include a user name and password in the string, but because you are connecting from the server, they would be ignored."
So if you're coding a shared class that is to run on both the client and server side, you might do something like this:
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection(
System.getProperty("oracle.server.version") == null
? "jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521:ORCL"
: "jdbc:oracle:kprb:"),
"youruserid","yourpassword");
As stated earlier, the userid and password are supposedly ignored for server connections retrieved in this manner. I haven't tried this yet, but it is documented by Oracle.

Calling a stored procedures and using its output parameters in a report

Hi,,
I have a procedure defined in a package on the database. This procedure returns a number of output parameters. How do I call this procedure and use the output parameters in my report ?
Thanks, Mark

Depends on the level at which the procedure has to be called. If its at report-level, call the Form in the BEFORE-REPORT-trigger (or AFTER-PARAMFORM) and store the out-values in Placeholder-columns. These you can use anywhere in your report.

SQL Server 2008 R2 - Report Builder 3.0 - timeout using shared data source and stored procedure

I select the shared datasource from the data source propeties dialog, test the connection and everything is good.
I add a dataset by selecting "use a dataset embedded in my report" option within the Dataset properties dialog.
I select the newly added data source, click the "Stored procedure" query type and drop down the list box and select my intended stored procedure.
the timeout for the dataset is "0" seconds.
I click the "OK" button and I'm presented with the parameters to the stored procedure.
I enter valid data for the parameters and click the "OK" button.
I then get the following error message after 30 seconds:
The problem is, all of the timeouts, that I'm aware of, have values of zero (no timeout) or high enough values that 30 seconds isn't even close to the timeout.
I think the smallest timeout we have is 120 seconds.
I have searched this site and many others and the solutions all involve altering the stored procedure to get the fields into report builder and then revert the stored procedure back to its original form.
To me, this is NOT a solution.
I have too many stored procedures that need to be brought into Report Builder.
I need a real solution.
Thank you for you time, Tim Caldwell.

I don't mean to be rude, but really, check to see if the stored procedure can return data rows???
Maybe I'm not being clear enough.
The stored procedure runs perfectly fine.
it runs perfectly fine in the production environment and the test environment.
I can access the stored procedure in several ways and have it return correct data.
I can even trick report builder into creating a dataset with parameters and run the stored procedure that way.
What I cannot do, is to get report builder to not timeout after 30 seconds on the initial creation of a dataset with a Query type of stored procedure.
I have seen this issues posted again and again and again on may different sites and the "solution" is to simplifiy the stored procedure by creating a stored procedure that has a create table and a select in the stored procedure and that's it. After
report builder creates the dataset the developer then has to replace the simplified stored procedure with the actual stored procedure and everything works fine after that.
HOWEVER, having to go through this process for 70 or more stored procedures is ridiculous.
It would appear that there is something within report builder itself that is causing this issue.
The SQL Script included is an example of a stored procedure that will not create fields create a dataset with fields and parameters in Report Builder 3.0:

SQL Queries in Code V/s Stored Procedures

Hi Friend,
Can any one of you guide me with following..
What is faster ? using SQL Queries in Java code or using Stored Procedures which are called from code?
I understnd Stroed Procedures are faster and definitely it provides more maintainability.
If any one can give me any links or resources which outlines pros and cons of using Stored Proc and SQL Queries embedded in Java than it would be a great help..
If there are any articles which proves either of the above is a preferred way, that would also help..
Appreciate the effort in advance !!
Thanks
Gurudatt

Well one benefit of Stored Procs is that you "compile" it on the database whereas you might build your query on the fly in java... test coverage is important in order not to have such things as a typo in a column name....
Still, if you change a table, you have to go through all the procedures in SQL and likely to do so in some of your business object... and trust me, that can be hell!
It all depends on the use of the app...
From my experience, Stored procedure are much faster than built-on-the-fly SQL (and quite faster than prepared statements depending on the JDBC driver, the re-use of connections etc...)....
IMHO, you'd probably be wise to start of with prepared statements, and when the schema seems stable enough (ie unlikely to change), look for the slower queries and convert them to stroed procedures.
If you don't have to support several databases and are tight on performance, you can even include some logic in your stored procedure (e.g. update several tables, based on various selects...etc...). The language is usually quite powerful, and that can save you the run-time of selecting, converting to object , process and update (i.e. several roud-trip between DB and app)...
Tshcuss!

Report with Stored Procedure does not return until refresh

I'm using RAS server 2008 to run many Crystal reports from a web application (TrackWise) over Oracle 10g DB.
A new report is using a stored procedure that takes several minutes (5-10) to return before the rest of the report's SQL can execute.
When running the report from Crystal Developer there is no problem,
but when running from the application (using the RAS), the report seems to be running forever,
However, if you wait a few minutes for the DB utilization to drop (i.e. for the stored procedure to finish) and refresh - the full report appears on the screen in a second.
Since I have many other reports that run for much longer time with no issue, I assume that this has nothing to do with the web application, but rather related to the connection between the RAS and the DB (i.e. the idle time between the beginning of the stored procedure execution to its return and the continuation of the report creation).
I assume that I need to change one of the RAS settings/ parameters (in the properties or in the registry), but which?
Please assist.

Since this app is from TrackWise, I'd recommend contacting TrackWise and see if they have an answer for you. As it is, we have no idea how they implemented the CR components in their app. If they cannot help you, it should be them coming here and asking us - or better yet they should be creating a phone incident.

Stored Procedure: Extract data into second cursor

This is ready-to-run script with a commented out INCOMPLETE section of code where i need to select from a cursor.
--== PDF Dcument Table of contents ==---
--== PDF Report contains Period to date on condiments and bun sales for a region
--== For each week for a 4-week period with week 6 representing PTD and week 7 representing
--== YTD. Data should be gathered in rowsets and pivoted on client
--==
--== Basic Functionallity:
--=== Write a stored procedure that performs the following:
--== 1) Select the report data into cursor 1 in the order with a resultset order
--==     in the way it will be printed to report.
--== 2) Create list of inique stores in separate cursor
--== Approach:
--== Create the Type object of fields needed to build table of contents for each row of the table. Add a sort field
--== to enable restore the original order of data after any sorting done on client
--== Create table table of the row objects
--== Declare 2 cursors:

I am currently doing this in the presentation layer but is a lot cleaner and easier to maintain if handled in DB
I'd googled that suggested this was possible. I had decided on the FETCH. But I've been to avoid FETCH and LOOP
wherever possible.
One eample I found: I always try so much stuff, I forget where i got the idea) was:
-- pseudoscript
FETCH outer cursor.
    Select outer cursor
    open second cursor for select into and CLOSE Cursor.
LOOPI also found this.
create or replace procedure testproc(c_test out sys_refcursor) is
    begin
      open c_test for select first_name, last_name, email from employees where rownum < 10;
   end;Here though, its a simple select from a table vs. a cursor.
I thouht it was woth asking the question.

Java Stored Procedure in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

Hi,
I need advice for the following.
I'm on Oracle 11g R2. I'm testing application in Oracle 11gR1 and R2 and Oracle Express.
Purpose is to generate XML reports.
I have PLSQL Stored Procedure which does that, but since there is bug in Oracle11gR2 related to XMLTRANSFORM I have and Java Stored Procedure which is workaround. They are both compiled, valid etc.
Java class is :
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.Writer;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLProcessor;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLStylesheet;
* This class is used as Java stored procedure
* There is a bug on Oracle11gR2, related to the limitation on the number of style sheet instructions
* This stored procedure is workaround when PLSQL code can not be used.
* File must not have package, otherwise is wrongly compiled in DB
public class JavaXslt {
     public static void XMLTtransform(oracle.sql.CLOB xmlInput,oracle.sql.CLOB xslInput,oracle.sql.CLOB output) throws Exception{
          DOMParser parser;
          XMLDocument xml;
          XMLDocument xsldoc;
          try{
               parser = new DOMParser();
               parser.parse(xmlInput.getCharacterStream());
               xml = parser.getDocument();
               parser.parse(xslInput.getCharacterStream());
               xsldoc = parser.getDocument();
               XSLProcessor processor = new XSLProcessor();
               XSLStylesheet xsl = processor.newXSLStylesheet(xsldoc);
               Writer w = output.setCharacterStream(1L);
               PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(w);
               processor.processXSL(xsl, xml, pw);
          }catch (Exception ex){
               throw ex;
PROCEDURE Java_XmlTransform (xml CLOB, xslt CLOB, output CLOB) AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'JavaXslt.XMLTtransform(oracle.sql.CLOB, oracle.sql.CLOB, oracle.sql.CLOB)';
I'm calling Java stored procedure from PLSQL Stored procedure (if it is Oracle11gR2) like that :
Java_Proc.Java_XmlTransform(inputXML, xslt, res);
So till here everything works ok. XSLT as applied and output XML (res) is OK.
But when Oracle Express is used Java is out of the question, so there is no Java stored procedure. Howewer PLSQL Stored procedure is still needed.
So I had to put call to Java Stored procedure in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement in order to compile to PLSQL package.
But when I do that :
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'BEGIN Java_Proc.Java_XmlTransform (:1, :2, :3); END;' USING inputXML, xslt, res;
result value CLOB (res) has zero length...
What am I missing? Should i set return value to Java class?
Hope my explanations are clear though.
Thanks

Hi odie_63,
Thanks for quick response.
I didn't clearly explained.
When using Oracle 11gR1 and Oracle Express I'm using only PLSQL Procedure.
When using Oracle 11gR2 i have to use Java Stored procedure because there is documented bug in R2.
That's why i have to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. I don't know which version is the client DB and whether there is or no Java procedures.
I did tried
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'BEGIN Java_Proc.Java_XmlTransform (:1, :2, :3); END;' USING IN inputXML, IN xslt, OUT res; and the result was ORA-06537: OUT bind variable bound to an IN position
When using IN OUT for last parameter i.e.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'BEGIN Java_Proc.Java_XmlTransform (:1, :2, :3); END;' USING IN inputXML, IN xslt, IN OUT res;
there is no exception, but still DBMS_LOB.getlength(res) = 0

How to use OUT variables in my stored procedure

I'm wondering if I can get some help using OUT variables in my stored procedure. Here's my code...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE testProj.testProcedure (
     v_segment_id IN VARCHAR2,
     v_student_id OUT VARCHAR2,
     v_current_code OUT NUMBER,
     v_new_code OUT NUMBER
) AS
BEGIN
     SELECT
          s.student_id,
          s.quad_code_id,
          nc.quad_code_id
     INTO
          v_student_id,
          v_current_quad_code,
          v_new_quad_code
     FROM testProj.students s
     INNER JOIN testProj.new_codes nc ON s.student_id = nc.student_id
     WHERE s.segment_id = v_segment_id ;
END testProcedure ;
EXECUTE testProj.testProcedure ('44') ;
When I execute that stored procedure with the above execute statement, I get this error:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'testProcedure'

Using Refcursor is one way you can do that ->

Calling a Stored Procedure with a IN OUT VAR

Hi
I'm trying to call an oracle stored procedure and get a return code if it completely ran successfully. This is my first time doing this and would really appreciate some
PROCEDURE P_NP_OVERDUE_COMPLETED
(P_YEAR_NO IN NUMBER, P_WEEK_NO IN NUMBER,
P_RETURN_CODE IN OUT VARCHAR2)
I get the following error: One or more errors occurred during processing of command.
Dim OleDBCon As New OleDbConnection
Dim conStr As String = "Provider=MSDAORA;Data...................."
OleDBCon.ConnectionString = conStr
Dim OleDBCMD = New OleDbCommand _
("{call p_np_overdue_completed(?,?,{VARCHAR2(255), P_RETURN_CODE})}", OleDBCon)
OleDBCMD.CommandType = CommandType.Text
OleDBCMD.Parameters.Add("P_YEAR_NO", OleDbType.Numeric).Value = year
OleDBCMD.Parameters.Add("P_WEEK_NO", OleDbType.Numeric).Value = i
Dim myadapter As New OleDbDataAdapter(OleDBCMD)
OleDBCon.Open()
myadapter.Fill(ds)

Originally posted by JDBC Development Team:
It's very similar to other datatype except that it uses OracleTypes.ARRAY typecode and the value is mapped to a oracle.sql.ARRAY instance. The code looks as follows --
cstmt.registerOutParameter (idx, OracleTypes.ARRAY, "VARRAY_TYPE_NAME_HERE");
cstmt.execute ();
ARRAY array = (ARRAY) cstmt.getObject (idx);
Thanks for your reply.
I have to use:-
OracleCallableStatement cs1 = (OracleCallableStatement )conn.prepareCall
( "{call proj_array(?)}" ) ;
for retrieving a collection as an OUT parameter.
This gives me the errors:-
C:\jdbc\VarraySQL.java:0: The method oracle.jdbc2.Blob getBlob(int) declared in class oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleCallableStatement cannot override the method of the same signature declared in interface java.sql.CallableStatement. They must have the same return type.

Iam passing an array of objects from Java to the C
file. The total size of data that Iam sending is
around 1GB. I have to load this data into the Shared
memory after getting it in my C file. Iam working on
HP-UX (64-bit). Everything works fine for around 400MB
of data. When I try to send around 500MB of data, the
disk utilization becomes 100%, so does my memory
utilization and I get a "Not enough space" when I try
to access shared memory. I have allocated nearly 2.5GB
in my SHMMAX variable. Also, I have around 45GB of
disk free. The JVM heap size is also at 2048MB. Where did you get the 400/500 number from? Is that the size of the file?
What do you do with the data? Are you doing nothing but copying it byte for byte into shared memory?
If yes then a simple test is to write a C application that does the same thing. If it has problems then it means you have an environment problem.
If no then you are probably increasing the size of the data by creating a structure to hold it. How much overhead does that add to the size of the data?

Oracle - how to find columns in a table + stored procedures dependent on th

Scenario:
I need to list all the columns in a table1 and all stored procedures that depends on those columns of this table1. I need to populate column name and stored procedures to a new table.
I created new_table(col1, sProc) and tried to populate the column name and respective stored procedure on this new_table. Code I wrote is given below:
Declare
Beginfor i in (select column_name from user_tab_columns where lower(table_name) like 'table1') loop
insert into new_table
select i.column_name,   name    from user_source   where lower(text) like '%' || i.column_name || '%';
commit;
end loop;
end;
Result: The scripts run successfully but the no data is populated on this new_table.
Stress: I tried to solve it for 1 whole day and could not figure it out. Any help on this would be greately appreciated. Thank you once again.

Jdbc - stored procedures

Please, can anyone show me how to retrieve an array from a stored procedure using JDBC?
The code below are not working (the exception at bottom). The problem seem to be the third parameter to registerOutParameter, this type do however exist in the database.
This error occurs also when I use OracleCallableStatement.
Any help and tips is MUCH appreciated.

Program Notes
o This program can be run with any of the three forms of Oracle JDBC driver.
o Run the script noted in the comments of the program to create the type
and the procedure that is called.
o This program uses the most basic method of calling objects,
via Oracle.sql.STRUCT.

This program demonstrates how to emulate calling a stored procedure

PL/SQL table of records parameter directly, however, you can use an
Object with the same structure as your table of records.
The Script used to create the procedure in this example is as follows:
drop type rectab;
create or replace type rectype as object(col1 varchar2(10),col2 varchar2(10));
create or replace type rectab as table of rectype;
create or replace package ioStructArray as
procedure testproc(iorec in out rectab,orec out rectab);

create or replace package body ioStructArray as
procedure testproc(iorec in out rectab,orec out rectab) is
begin

iorec(i).col1 := orec(i).col2;
iorec(i).col2 := orec(i).col1;

Hope this helps all the people that have searched a lot like me.......

I have my entity manager setup in a singleton.
I'm finding it's costly to generate the emf, but if I don't close the em (enitity manager) and emf (entity manager factory) my open cursor count climbs until I exceed the max number of open cursors on the database (11g RAC)
I'm committing the connection, and uow, and closing the em at the end of each call.
But until I close the emf, the open cursors aren't released.
TransactionhistoryPkg tranPkg = new TransactionhistoryPkg(conn); //Class created over database package via JPublisher
tranPkg.transactionhistoryInsSp(insertTrans.getCardId()); // executes db package
tranPkg.closeConnection();
conn.commit();
uow.commit();
uow.getAccessor().decrementCallCount();
em.close();
Am I missing something really obvious here??
btw - I found this link helpful in troubleshooting the max cursors issue: https://support.bea.com/application_content/product_portlets/support_patterns/wls/InvestigatingORA-1000MaximumOpenCursorsExceededPattern.html
