Storing of cursor variables

hi all,
how to store the looped fetched statement values into the variable.
for ex:
open c1
loop
fetch a,b into x,y;
my requirement is like i want to store x and y values into the variable which returns more than one row.
after storing into the variable, i have to check for some condition if it satisfies then only i should write into the text file.
please help me. how to store that fetched values into the variable.
Thanks..

Is your requirement to only write records to a file that meet certain requirements? If so, I'm with Andreas on this one; I don't see any reason why you couldn't write your SQL Query is such a way that it excludes these records rather than select all records and then filter out the desirable ones. As a wise old Oracle Developer once said;

Always do as much as you can in SQL so you only have to do a little in PL/SQL.

If you follow this philosophy, your PL/SQL programs will be faster, more efficient and easier to maintain. ;)
Hope this helps,

Cursor variable in a Java program

Hi all,
I would like to know is how to explicitly pass a cursor variable to a stored procedure after defining it in the java source and to get the result back to the same variable.
An example would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Giridhar

I think java profiler can do the job. There are sharewares i know of like JSprint and JProfiler.

Fetch from cursor variable

Hello,
I have a procedure, which specification is something like that:
procedure proc1 (pcursor OUT SYS_REFCURSOR, parg1 IN NUMBER, parg2 IN NUMBER, ...);Inside the body of proc1 I have
OPEN pcursor FOR
SELECT column1,
              column2,
              CURSOR (SELECT column1, column2
                                FROM table2
                              WHERE <some clauses come here>) icursor1
      FROM table1
   WHERE <some clauses come here>;In a PL/SQL block I would like to execute proc1 and then to fetch from pcursor. This is what I am doing so far:
DECLARE
ldata SYS_REFCURSOR;
larg1 NUMBER := 123;
larg2 NUMBER := 456;
outcolumn1 dbms_sql.Number_Table;
outcolumn2 dbms_sql.Number_Table;
BEGIN
some_package_name.proc1 (ldata, larg1, larg2, ...);
FETCH ldata BULK COLLECT INTO
    outcolumn1, outcolumn2,..., *and here is my problem*;
END;

Firstly ref cursors contain no data they are not result sets but pointers to compiled SQL statements.
Re: OPEN cursor for large query
PL/SQL 101 : Understanding Ref Cursors
Ref cursors are not supposed to be used within PL/SQL or SQL for that matter, though people keep on insisting on doing this for some reason.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10472/static.htm#CIHCJBJJ
Purpose of Cursor Variables
You use cursor variables to pass query result sets between PL/SQL stored subprograms and their clients. This is possible because PL/SQL and its clients share a pointer to the work area where the result set is stored.A ref cursor is supposed to be passed back to a procedural client language, such as Java or .Net.
If you want to re-use a SQL statement in multiple other PL/SQL or SQL statements you would use a view.

Is IN OUT for Cursor variable mandatory?

Hi all:
I have a stored procedure which will just return a boolean value after the task is done. And i'm using more than 1 cursor variables in that stored procedure. What my question is
"Is IN OUT for Cursor variable mandatory from the PROCEDURE i have written?".
Because in the manual they mentioned that IN OUT should be there for a cursor variable. My PROCEDURE declaration is as below:
TYPE emp_det IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE <proc_name>(startdate VARCHAR2, enddate VARCHAR2, ids VARCHAR2, taskdone OUT BOOLEAN,emp IN OUT emp_det);
Is there any modification in the above declaration if i'm using one cursor and NOT returning that cursor back to the called program. I don't to get returned.
Hope i made it clear.
Thanks,
- Venu

Venu:
As far as I know you don't need In Out unless
you are using that variable to pass values between the two procedures.
It is so easy to try it , so I suggest you write two small procedures to check this.It should only take a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps.

Cursor variable persistence (or lack of) - workarounds ?

Using 11.1.0.7; want to be able to pass a query SQL statement out of a client to a database package and have the package execute the query and return N rows out of the query, and later serve requests from client for the next N records etc. Having opened the cursor I then want to be able to retain a reference to it for the secondary / subsequent look-ups. The restrictions on package cursor variable definition prevent the obvious solution(s). Wondering whether others had experience of delivering such a solution ?
Have trialled use of DBMS_SQL, but under 11g run into restrictions relating to new 11g security features, which the docco suggests can be disabled, but reluctant to do so. Returning the cursor reference to client (Oracle Forms) could be the next option, but would prefer to not. Figured this might've already been solved ...?
Thanks,

Cursor Variable Arguments

Migration Workbench Ver 1.2.2 has migrated an SQL Server 6.5
strored procedure as a package containing only the Cursor
variable and a procedure with INOUT parameter with packaged
cusorvariable as one of the parameters to Oracle 8.0.5.
How do you execute this procedure from SQL + and from another
PL/SQL block where you have to retrive the data elements of the
cursor.(ie.How do you input the cursor variable parameter in the
EXECUTE stored procedure command.)An example of the type is
appreciated.

Surendra,
Using refcursors between procedures is covered in the 'Wrong
number or types of argument in call to stored proc' 4 jun thread,
with reference to the manuals.
Using refcursor bind variables is covered in the sqlplus user
guide and reference reproduced below (from the 8.1.5 version,
also in 8.0.5) available on line on OTN.

Using REFCURSOR Bind Variables
SQL*Plus REFCURSOR bind variables allow SQL*Plus to fetch and
format the results of a SELECT statement contained in a PL/SQL
block.
REFCURSOR bind variables can also be used to reference PL/SQL
cursor variables in stored procedures. This allows you to store
SELECT statements in the database and reference them from
SQL*Plus.
A REFCURSOR bind variable can also be returned from a stored
function.
Note:
You must have Oracle7, Release 7.3 or above to assign
the return value of a stored function to a
REFCURSOR variable.
Example 3-18 Creating, Referencing, and Displaying REFCURSOR Bind
Variables
To create, reference and display a REFCURSOR bind variable, first
declare a local bind variable of the REFCURSOR datatype
SQL> VARIABLE dept_sel REFCURSOR
Next, enter a PL/SQL block that uses the bind variable in an OPEN
... FOR SELECT statement. This statement opens a cursor variable
and executes a query. See the PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
for information on the OPEN command and cursor variables.
In this example we are binding the SQL*Plus dept_sel bind
variable to the cursor variable.
SQL> BEGIN
2 OPEN :dept_sel FOR SELECT * FROM DEPT;
3 END;
4 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
The results from the SELECT statement can now be displayed in
SQL*Plus with the PRINT command.
SQL> PRINT dept_sel
DEPTNO DNAME LOC
10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK
20 RESEARCH DALLAS
30 SALES CHICAGO
40 OPERATIONS BOSTON
The PRINT statement also closes the cursor. To reprint the
results, the PL/SQL block must be executed again before using
PRINT.
Example 3-19 Using REFCURSOR Variables in Stored Procedures
A REFCURSOR bind variable is passed as a parameter to a
procedure. The parameter has a REF CURSOR type. First, define the
type.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE cv_types AS
2 TYPE DeptCurTyp is REF CURSOR RETURN dept%ROWTYPE;
3 END cv_types;
4 /
Package created.
Next, create the stored procedure containing an OPEN ... FOR
SELECT statement.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE dept_rpt
2 (dept_cv IN OUT cv_types.DeptCurTyp) AS
3 BEGIN
4 OPEN dept_cv FOR SELECT * FROM DEPT;
5 END;
6 /
Procedure successfully completed.
Execute the procedure with a SQL*Plus bind variable as the
parameter.
SQL> VARIABLE odcv REFCURSOR
SQL> EXECUTE dept_rpt(:odcv)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Now print the bind variable.
SQL> PRINT odcv
DEPTNO DNAME LOC
10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK
20 RESEARCH DALLAS
30 SALES CHICAGO
40 OPERATIONS BOSTON
The procedure can be executed multiple times using the same or a
different REFCURSOR bind variable.
SQL> VARIABLE pcv REFCURSOR
SQL> EXECUTE dept_rpt(:pcv)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> PRINT pcv
DEPTNO DNAME LOC

cv_types.DeptCurTyp IS2 resultset cv_types.DeptCurTyp;
3 BEGIN
4 OPEN resultset FOR SELECT * FROM DEPT;
5 RETURN(resultset);
6 END;
7 /
Function created.
Execute the function.

Problem in calling of stored procedure with variable parameters

Hello!
When we try to call our stored procudure with variable parameter (year and month) we receive various errors.
Here's the dynamic package script code:
DEBUG(ON)
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,"Please select time for restatement",%TIME_DIM%)
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,%APP%)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\%APP%\zbpc_to_fm.lgx)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,SIMULATION,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,CHECKLCK,0)
Our logic script file (zbpc_to_fm.lgx) code is:
*RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE=ztest('%TIME_SET%')
*commit
The problem occures while transferring the variable parameter %TIME_SET% value.
How can we correctly transfer the selected value of TIME_SET into the procedure?

Everything in the debug log looks correct -- the most important lines are the ones indicating the values passed from the user's response to the PROMPT(SELECTINPUT...)
INFO(%CATEGORY_SET%, BUDGET)
INFO(%ENTITY_SET%, 1733)
INFO(%FUND_SET%, )
INFO(%PROJECT_SET%, )
INFO(%TIME_SET%, 2008.NOV)
Are you certain that the stored proc is processing the input parameter for time correctly, when you run it directly in MS Mgmt Studio?
What error messages do you see running it from BPC?
By "customized user authorities" do you mean that the time dimension is secured, and this user has access only to 2008.total and its descendants? If that's the case, the user should be able to see only those members in the action pane / current view, but the SELECTINPUT prompt should only show the base members (and not the year total and quarters). I'm still confused as to why all 12 + 4 + 1 members are passed through to the stored proc.

How to pass a litral string into cursor variable?

Hi All
I have a code like below:
I need to select the following table,column with the criteria as such but it looks like the literal string does not work for cursor variable.
I can run the SQL in sqlplus but how I can embed that in PL/SQL code??
-Thanks so much for the help
cursor ccol2(Y1 varchar2) is select table_name,column_name from user_tab_columns
where table_name like 'HPP2TT%' and table_name like '%Y1'
and column_name not in ('MEMBERID');

Literal strings are fine in a cursor, however, your logic is likely wrong, and you are not using the Y1 parameter to the cursor correctly. If you are looking for tables that either start with HPP2TT or end with Y1 (whatever you pass as Y1), then you need something more like:
cursor ccol2(Y1 varchar2) is
select table_name, column_name
from user_tab_columns
where (table_name like 'HPP2TT%' or
       table_name like '%'||Y1) and
      column_name not in ('MEMBERID');In the unlikely event that you are lookig for table that actually do start with HPP2TT and end in whatever is passed in Y1 then your query could be simplified to:
cursor ccol2(Y1 varchar2) is
select table_name, column_name
from user_tab_columns
where table_name like 'HPP2TT%'||Y1 and
      column_name not in ('MEMBERID');Note in both cases, a single member in-list is bad practice, although Oracle will transform it to an equality predicate instead.

How to inspect a cursor variable in a debug session?

In a function inside the body of a package I do...
Example:
V_SITUACIONESACTYHIST C_SITUACIONESACTYHIST%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
FOR v_SituacionesACTyHIST IN c_SituacionesACTyHIST( p_id_DECE400, p_idpers )
LOOP
IF ( V_SITUACIONESACTYHIST.ESTADO_SITUACION = 'S' ) THEN
v_hay_regs_hist:=1;
END IF;
END LOOP;
where the cursor variable c_SituacionesACTyHIST is declared in the specifications package (Is this the problem, because is a global declaration?).
When debugging I cannot inspect the value of V_SITUACIONESACTYHIST.ESTADO_SITUACION or whatever cursor variable field; I always obtain "NULL" as value...
Why?
How can I see the value of that variables?
I have the same problem in v2.1 and 1.5.5 version of sqldeveloper.
Thanks.

I'm proposing that you don't have a variable named the same as your cursor variable.
CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE P1
AS
CURSOR test_cur
IS
SELECT owner, table_name FROM all_tables WHERE ROWNUM <= 10;
-- x test_cur%rowtype; /* This variable is not needed. */
BEGIN
FOR x IN test_cur /* If you don't have another variable named x somewhere, you can see values for x */
LOOP
dbms_output.put_line(x.owner || '.' || x.table_name);
END LOOP;
END P1;from your example...
V_SITUACIONESACTYHIST C_SITUACIONESACTYHIST%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
FOR v_SituacionesACTyHIST IN c_SituacionesACTyHIST( p_id_DECE400, p_idpers )
LOOP
IF ( V_SITUACIONESACTYHIST.ESTADO_SITUACION = 'S' ) THEN
v_hay_regs_hist:=1;
END IF;
END LOOP;You're declaring your variable twice:
(1) V_SITUACIONESACTYHIST C_SITUACIONESACTYHIST%ROWTYPE;
(2) FOR v_SituacionesACTyHIST IN c_SituacionesACTyHIST
When you're debugging, it's looking at the first version...which is null because you haven't assigned anything to it. When you use a Cursor For-Loop like that, it implicitly declares the variable for you. You don't have to do it in your DECLARE section.

just a side note, (others have helped with the actual error already), using "rownum" like you do isn't very consistent. Not really sure about the requirment of "5th row", but no matter. Just keep in mind that the way Oracle assigns a rownum, and the fact you have no sorting/order ... you are - effectively - getting a random row. That is, with no data changing, Oracle may very well retrieve things in a different order due to index, new oracle version, whatever.
If you do actually need the 5th row where you have some sorting (ie 5th largest salary, or 5th record by last name, etc. ), then you may want to consider something like:
select * from (select last_name, salary, row_number() over (order by salary desc) rn from employees) where rn = 5;
or whatever your sort criteria is. Do a search for "Top N" queries if you need more info.
It'll work a bit more consistently.

Problem in displaying images stored in Blob variable

<img src='downloadPhoto.page?method=getPhotoInBytes&accessoryModelPictures.id.accessoryNumber=${photo.id.accessoryNumber}/> In my controller class
InputStream inputStream=accessoryPicturesLOB.getPicture().getBinaryStream();
byte[] theBytes = new byte[inputStream.available()];
inputStream.read(theBytes);
response.setContentType("image/jpg");
response.getOutputStream().write(theBytes);But the problem is, *if i right click on the image and select save picture as option i get a error saying "The system cannot find the specified file "*
Can you please tell me what is wrong in my approach/code
Is there any better approach to display image that is store in Blob variable ?
Please help on this.
Thanks in advance.

You need at least to set the filename in the content disposition header.

Obtaining a weakly typed cursor variable's field list

In a situation where a weakly typed cursor variable is passed to a procedure, after having been previously opened, is there any way to find out what the field names or aliases are that make up the underlying cursor? Is this information available in some dynamic view?

Try:
select view_name from dba_views where view_name like '%CURSOR%';
The views you may be interested in are gv_$open_cursor and v_$open_cursor. Both have a column named SQL_TEXT that will at least give the statement the cursor is executing.
Hope this helps.

Cursor Variables in Pro*C/C++

I have very strange behaivour of the client application that uses cursor variable.
I have Oracle 8i enterprise 8.1.6 release for Sun/Solaris.
The follow SQL is installed on server:
create or replace package dummy is
type vemap_cur is ref cursor;
end;
create or replace procedure GET_CUR
( N IN number, cur IN OUT dummy.VEMAP_CUR ) as
begin
open cur for
select LS.ID, LS.SCALE
from LAYERS LS
where LS.ID = (select C.ID from CTM C where C.ORDERINDEX = N);
end;
This procedure (GET_CUR) i call from embedded SQL in follow manner:
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
struct
int n1;
int n2;
} resrec;
sql_cursor c1;
int num;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :c1;
EXEC SQL AT DB_VE EXECUTE
BEGIN
GET_VEC( :num, :c1 );
END;
END-EXEC;
Till now it is Ok. But when i run the follow line
EXEC SQL FETCH :c1 INTO :resrec;
i accept ORA-01012: not logged on
error !!!!
I checked the connection via using cursor in paralell and got the correct answer.
Therefore i think this error is not related to the actual problem and i have no idea what this problem is. I tried to open cursor via anonymous PL/SQL block inside my C program with same result.
Need help ASAP.

Hi Leonid, Andrea
When you use "CONNECT AT :db_handle" instead of default connection "CONNECT", you have to give the connect handle to the command you want to execute.
ie:
EXEC SQL AT :db_handle PREPARE SQL_stat FROM "select ...";
EXEC SQL AT :db_handle DECLARE cur_stat CURSOR for SQL_stat;
EXEC SQL AT :db_handle OPEN cur_stat ;
EXEC SQL AT :db_handle FETCH cur_stat INTO :resrec;
Leonid, the error you had is probably because you connected at "DB_VE", and tried to select from default connect (that you're not connected to ==> ORA-01012)
Try EXEC SQL AT :DB_VE FETCH :c1 INTO :resrec;
or, if you connect to only 1 database, use "EXEC SQL CONNECT;" instead of (EXEC SQL CONNECT :pConnectString AT "DB_VE";) so that you use default connect name and you don't have to add "AT :DB_VE" to your SQL commands.
I know this reply comes long after your request, but I hope it may still help anybody.

How to (in Pro*C) pass a cursor variable as a pointer between functions

I am opening a cursor in a called function that accepts as one argument a pointer to a cursor variable, and a second argument for the sql string defining the cursor select. That works fine, and in that same function can successfully fetch and access the records from the cursor. However, my objective is to fetch the records in another function that calls the first function. I want to pass back to the calling function the pointer to the cursor variable from the first function. In the second (calling) function, is where I want to fetch the records. What I am getting is SQLCODE = -1002 (fetch out of sequence).
Here is the relevent code in the first called function that calls a PL/SQL package procedure to open the cursor, followed by the code in the second calling procedure where I am attempting to fetch the records:
/******Called function code starts here ******/
EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA;
long db_makeCursor(cursorID, SQLstr)
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
sql_cursor cursorID; / a pointer to a cursor variable */
char *SQLstr;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
long SQLCODE;
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
sql_cursor dbCursor; /* a cursor variable */
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR DO sql_error();
dbCursor = *cursorID;
EXEC SQL EXECUTE
BEGIN
db_util_ref_cursor_pkg.open_dbNameCursor( :dbCursor, :SQLstr );
END;
END-EXEC;
return;
/******Calling function code starts here ******/
EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA;
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
static PROCLOG PROC_Rec;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
long retrieveProcesses( _proclog, sqlForProcLog )
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
PROCLOG _proclog;
char *sqlForProcLog
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
long rc;
long SQLCODE;
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
sql_cursor dbCursor; /* a cursor variable */
sql_cursor cursorID; / a pointer to a cursor variable */
PROCLOG proclog;
short end_ts_ind;
short proc_name_ind;
short comments_ind;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
cursorID = &dbCursorName; /* assign a value to the pointer */
EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :dbCursor;
rc = dbUtilities_makeCursor( cursorID, sqlForProcLog);
if (rc == TRUE)
while (SQLCODE == 0)
EXEC SQL FETCH :dbCursorName INTO
:proclog.PROC_ID,
:proclog.START_TS,
:proclog.END_TS:end_ts_ind,
:proclog.PROC_NAME:proc_name_ind,
:proclog.COMMENTS:comments_ind,
if (SQLCODE == 0)
printf("PROC_ID: %d; COMMENTS: %s\n",proclog.PROC_ID, proclog.COMMENTS);
} /* end retrieveProcesses */

You need to include a loop...
for i=0;i<sqlca.sqlerrd[2];i++)
printf("name %s\n", struct.name)
This allows you to step through your cursor records!!!
