TDD with PL/SQL

Hello,
Scope: my problem is not how TDD works or which tool to use. I have no problem to test code that does not depend on db content (e.g a custom to_char function) and private functions are public by conditional compilation in development db. It's about testing code that needs certain combination/line-up uf data to be tested.
My application is managing insurance policies. To test e.g. a function that reads certain data from a policy-history I need the complete policy and also a complete policy for each test case. I have a repository of test policies in a master schema (used for regression tests) that I can load into development. The problem is, that loading the data takes so much time, that a quick succession of test/code/test/change/test... is not possible.
How do you set up your data for TDD?
Regards
Marcus

MarcusI don have personal experiance but some friends of mine has done RMAN Point-in-time recovery for this purpose. That too table space specific. The had all there development object in one table space and did [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmtspit.htm#CIHGGAFH] Performing RMAN Tablespace Point-in-Time Recovery (TSPITR)

  • XML Publisher Report with PL/SQL

    Hi
    Like to know how to develop the XML Publisher Report with PL/SQL, i did the following
    1. created a pkg like as below
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.TEST_XMLTAG_PKG AS
    PROCEDURE main (errbuf OUT VARCHAR2,
    retcode OUT NUMBER
    ) IS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE
    ctx DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
    xml CLOB;
    BEGIN
    ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select * from scott.emp');
    dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'MY-ROW-START-HERE');
    xml := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctx);
    dbms_output.put_line(xml);
    Fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.LOG, XML);
    END;
    END;
    END TEST_XMLTAG_PKG;
    this pkg produces the output with xml tag in the view log.
    I have registered the conc program & xml rtf but it does not produce the output in PDF, , I am not able to get the xml tag when i click the Diagnostics --> View XML.
    can you please let me know the next steps involved.
    Regards
    Yram

    I think the problem is because there is no begin and end tag. save the xml from the logfile and open with xml editor or IE.. then you will see the problem.
    add Begin and end tag...then you should be fine.. i.e
    fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<EMP_DATA>'); -- begin Tag
    tx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select * from scott.emp');
    dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'MY-ROW-START-HERE');
    xml := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctx);
    dbms_output.put_line(xml);
    Fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.LOG, XML);
    fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'</EMP_DATA>'); -- End Tag
    Hope this helps..>Good Luck

  • How to get JDev 10.1.2/ADF working with MS SQL Server Identity Column

    Hello JDevTeam & JDevelopers,
    I want to use JDev/ADF with a MS SQL Server 2005 database that contains tables employing IDENTITY Columns.
    Using JDev/ADF and DBSequence with an Oracle database employing before triggers/sequences accomplishes what I am trying to do except I want to accomplish the same thing using a MSSQL Server 2005 database. Unfortunately I cannot change the database.
    I have been able to select records but I am unable to insert records (due to my lack of knowledge) when using MS/SQL Server Identity Columns with JDev/ADF.
    The following are the steps taken thus far.
    Step1: Create table named test in the 2005 MSSQL Server (see script below).
    Step2: Register 3rd Party JDBC Driver with JDeveloper; Using use Tools/Manage Libraries. Create a new entry in User Libraries with the following;
         Library Name     = Ms2005Jdbc
         Class Path     = C:\dev\Ms2005Jdbc\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar
         (note: Latest TYPE 4 JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - free at http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/ref/jdbc/)
    Step3:Create New Database Connection;
         Connection Name = testconn1
         Type = Third Party JDBC Driver
         Authentication Username = sa, Password = password, Check Deploy Password
         Connection
              Driver Class = com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver     
              Library = Ms2005Jdbc     
              Classpath = C:\dev\Ms2005Jdbc\sqljdbc_1.0\enu
              URL = jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.1.151:1433;instanceName=sqlexpress;databaseName=test
         Test Connection = Success!
    Step5: Create a new application workspace using Web Application default template
    Step6: In Model project, Create new Business Components Diagram.
    Step7: Create new Entity Object. Goto to connections/testconn1, open tables and drag table test onto the diagram.
    Step8: Generate Default Data Model Components by right-clicking on Entity Object. Except all the defaults.
    When I test the Appmodule I select the view object and can scroll through all the records without error. If I try to insert a record, I get JBO-27014: Attribute testid in test is required.
    Going back to the EntityObject I deselect the Mandatory attribute and re-run the test. Now when I try to insert it accepts the value for testname but it does not update the PK testid like it would using an "JDev/ADF/DBSequence/Oracle database/before trigger/sequence" solution.
    Going back to the EntityObject and selecting refresh on insert does not solve this problem either. Changing the URL connection string and adding "SelectMethod=cursor" did not help and changing the SQl Flavor to SQLServer produced errors in the Business Components Browser. I've tried overriding isAttributeChanged() and other things as well.
    I am totally stuck! Can anyone provide a solution?
    Thanks for you help,

    Create table named test
    use [testdb]
    go
    set ansi_nulls on
    go
    set quoted_identifier on
    go
    create table [test](
         [testid] [int] identity(0,1) not null,
         [testname] [nvarchar](50) collate sql_latin1_general_cp1_ci_as not null,
    constraint [pk_test] primary key nonclustered
         [testid] asc
    )with (pad_index = off, ignore_dup_key = off) on [primary]
    ) on [primary]

    Figured it out!
    When using the MS SQL Server 2000 Database with the MS JDBC 2000 Driver you specify the SQL Flavor to SQLServer. However setting the SQL Flavor to SQLServer with MS SQL Server 2005 Database and the MS JDBC 2005 Driver will *** fail ***.
    When working with the MS SQL Server 2005 Database and the MS JDBC 2005 Driver you set the SQL Flavor to SQL92 and the Type Map to Java.
    If using a named instance like I am you would specify the URL = jdbc:sqlserver://<db host ip address>:<listening port>;instanceName=<your instance name>;selectMethod=cursor;databaseName=<your database name> (note: leave out the < >)
    The 2005 Driver Class is different then the 2000 and is specified as com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    Note: In a default MS SQL Server 2005 installation the listening port will change *** everytime *** the host is restarted! You can override this though.
    For the primary key you need to deselect the Mandatory attribute in the EntityObject editor.
    Set Refresh on insert/update = no.
    Set Updateable = never.
    Now my Primary Keys which get their values from the Identity Column are working with ADF in a predictable way.
    Simple enough but I have been away from this stuff for awhile.

  • Calculating values from row to row with pure sql?

    Hello,
    I'm searching for a way to calculate values from row to row with pure sql. I need to create an amortisation table. How should it work:
    Known values at start: (they can be derived with an ordinary sql-statement)
    - redemption amount RA
    - number of payment terms NT
    - annuity P (is constant in every month)
    - interest rate IR
    What has to be calculated:
    First row:
    RA1 = RA - P
    Z1 = (RA1 * (IR/100/12))
    T1 = P - Z1
    2nd row
    RA2 = RA1 - T1
    Z2 = (RA2 * (IR/100/12))
    T2 = P - Z2
    and so on until NT has reached.
    It should look like
    NT
    P
    Tn
    Zn
    RAn

    I need to give a potential client a hosting price for a somewhat simple web application they want me to build. I told them it shouldn't be a problem. After gathering the requirements, I figured I would use the following technology to build and host
    it:
    ASP.NET 4.5
    MVC 5
    1 SQL Database ~ 25GB with options to expand and also with a backup
    SSL certificate needed
    Hosting would be on Azure because I have some experience using Visual Studio 2012 and integrating the Visual Studio Online (TFS) source code and scrum web applications. I've never actually spun up a website with a SQL database using Azure before, but I
    imagined it wasn't too difficult to find a general hosting plan to support the above requirements.
    The use of the website will be very simple and limited to the basic CRUD operations. Will support forms authentication using the Identity 2.0 framework. The web applications main purpose is to fill out a form for new accounts, have a search page for
    those accounts, a page to view a created account and add notes to it. So performance wise, it isn't asking for much. I just want it to be fast and secure.
    So I start looking on the Azure's pricing landing page which is here: (can't put links in here, but search Azure pricing on Bing) and I see this Pricing Calculator, so I click it
    First thing I notice is the Websites tab doesn't mention SQL Database - in fact the Data Management is a separate tab from Websites. And if I made my selections on the Websites tab, the estimated monthly price doesn't stay the same when I go to the Data
    Management tab - so I get the illusion I have to have two separate purchases.
    I'm not exactly sure if the Pay as You Go billing feature would be okay because it's just a bit scary to leave every monthly payment up to chance; somewhat. Would love to know if there is other payment options that I could see for what I described above.
    I want to use Azure to host my asp.net website - it makes sense and the integration with Visual Studio is amazing. I love the publish feature for both MVC 5 Projects and SQL Database Projects.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hello jdevanderson,
    I suggest that you start by looking at the pricing TIERS for the Azure website. This link will give you clarity on different Service TIERS that are availaible:
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/websites/
    You can guage your requirement and choose the Service TIER accordingly.
    And regarding the database, you are right about it. You will be charged seperately for the database. You can refer to this link that will give you clarity on SQL database pricing:
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/sql-database/
    Refer to this link for more information on 'How pricing works':
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/
    Use the full calculator to add your website and the database to get an estimated cost:
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/calculator/?scenario=full

  • Why do I get a class conflict between the Prepare SQL.vi and the Get Column Name.vi with the SQL Toolkit compatibility vis from the Database Connectivity Toolkit?

    I have done extensive programming with the SQL Toolkit with LabVIEW versions through 6.1. My customer now wants to upgrade to Windows 7, so I am trying to upgrade to LabVIEW 2009 (my latest purchased version) using the Database Connectivity Toolkit, and the SQL Toolkit Compatibility vis. Everything seemed to be going okay with the higher level SQL operations, but I ran into trouble with the Get Column Name.vi. 
    The pictures below show the problem. The original SQL Toolkit connected the Prepare SQL.vi with the Get Column Name.vi with a cluster of two references, one for connection, and one for sql. The new compatibility vis have a class conflict in the wire because the Prepare SQL.vi contains a cluster with connection, and command references, but the Get Column Name.vi expects a cluster with connection and recordset references. 
    How do I resolve this conflict?
    Thank You.
    Dan

    I've never worked with the old version of the toolkit, so I don't know how it did things, but looking inside the SQL prep VI, it only generates a command, and the the column name VI wants a recordset. I'm not super familiar with all the internals of ADO, but my understanding is that is standard - you only have the columns after you execute the command and get the recordset back. What you can apparently do here is insert the Execute Prepared SQL VI in the middle and that will return what you need.
    I'm not sure why it worked before. Maybe the execute was hidden inside the prep VI or maybe you can get the column names out of the command object before execution. In general, I would recommend considering switching to the newer VIs.

  • Performance for join 9 custom table with native SQL ?

    Hi Expert,
    I need your opinion regarding performance to join 9 tables with native sql. Recently i have to tunning some customize extraction cost  report. This report extract about 10 million cost of material everyday.
    The current program actually, try to populate the condition data and insert into customize table and join all the table to get data using native sql.

    It seems the query ask for database to using hashed table. would that be it will burden the database ? and impacted to others sap process ?
    Please advise
    Thank You and Best Regards

    you can only argue coming from measurements and that is not the case.
    Coming from the code, I see only that you do not understand it at all, so better leave it as it is. It is not a hash table, but a hash join on these table.

  • Interactive Report with PL/SQL Function Source

    Is it possible to create interactive report with PL/SQL function source returing a query? If not, has anyone done any work to simulate the interactive reporting feature for a normal report using API?

    I haven't tried that before but you could:
    1. create a collection from your result set returned by a dynamic query,
    2. create a view on that collection,
    3. use the view in your interactive report.
    The usability of this proposal depends from a question how "dynamic" your query is - does it always have the same number of columns or not.

  • Building portlets with PL/SQl vs java

    Hi
    We are planing to use oracle 9iAS application server(Enterprise version)to build portal application.
    Can someone suggest me which one should i use, building portlets with j2ee or building portlets with PL/SQL.
    what are the advantages of web providers over database providers?which one is the best way of building portlets.

    Hello
    I've been using Portal for years now, and I'm still developping in PL/SQL. It's very simple and quick to developp. I'm even not using any database providers, I'm just invoking my procedures via their URLs with some Ajax hidden components, and I could developp some screens like employees vacations managements, trombinoscope, portal statistics, etc ...
    I learnt at Oracle how to developp some "true" portlets with DB providers but it's not usefull for me at this time as I don't need portlet customization etc.
    BUT
    if I had to developp a really big project with several developpers I would use DB providers.
    And maybe I would use Java but it takes rather long time to be efficient with this language and it needs to be a realy big project for I start using this language. And as explained above Java offers more compatibility with 3rd party products.
    And last but not least, one has to know what Oracle is more and more dealing with Java, the next 11g version that has just released is much more using Java than 10g does, and that's true for every Oracle products.
    So it's just a matter of skill and time.

  • Problem with pl/sql

    Dear Salvatore,
    Have you opened the CURSOR ??
    Try the following :
    =============================================
    declare
    cursor C1 (INPUT_VAR in number) is select column1 from table where column2 =INPUT_VAR ;
    begin
    for I in C1 (1111) Loop --- you can try any number
    dbms_output.put_line(I.ID) ;
    end loop;
    end ;

    Franco Lin
    I am new to this forum, and new to PL/SQL. I am writing my first larger project that will be in part implemented with PL/SQL. I have a simple cursor that sound like that:
    CURSOR name
    IS
    SELECT column1
    FROM table
    WHERE column2 = PL/SQL-variable;
    When I run this Function the SELECT returns nothing. When I make the same SELECT from SQL*PLUS I receive 1 row.
    I have checked the variable via dbms_output.put_line, and make the mentioned SELECT with it.
    Has anyone a solution for this?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Create a report with PL/SQL

    Hi,
    I have two pages: the first page contains two text fields and a submit button. In the first text field you can enter a name and in the second field you can enter a number. That means you can search a record by name or by number.
    In the second page the report is generated depending on the used text field of the first page.
    I tried to to define a region source code with PL/SQL for the report, but nothing appears on the report page although the record I was looking for exists in the database.
    begin
    if :ENTERNAME IS NOT NULL then
    FOR item IN (select "TB_PERSON_INSTITUTION"."PI_ID" as "PI_ID",

  • Azure remote App with Azure SQL Backend

    Hi, If I had an application which utilised a SQL backend could I host the front end in Azure remote app and the backend on an Azure SQL database or would I need to use IAAS to provide the backend?
    Many thanks
    James 

    Hi James,
    If the application is designed to be compatible with Azure SQL Database then yes, you can use Azure RemoteApp for the frontend and Azure SQL Database for the backend.  If the application is not compatible with Azure SQL Database then you would
    need to use SQL Server running in an IaaS VM, or SQL Server running in an on-premises VM.  The IaaS VM or SQL Database should be in the same Azure region as the RemoteApp collection in order to minimize latency.
    For example, say you have an internally-developed application that uses SQL Server 2012 as its backend database.  Before you would be able to use Azure SQL Database you would first need to migrate the database to Azure SQL Database and make any changes
    necessary to the application and/or database for compatibility.  The SQL Database Migration Wizard is helpful for this process.

  • Data Services 4.0 installation with MS SQL 2008

    hey guys,
    I am trying to install data services 4.0 on a windows server with MS SQL database as the repository database. So, my plan was to install MS SQL 2008 first, then IPS, then data services. But i am facing a problem in installation of MS SQL itself. I installed MS SQL with following features - database engine, client tools and management tools. The installation process was smooth and the sql server services (server and agent) both startup just fine. I installed a custom instance for the same.
    But problem is when I open the management studio and try to connect to the database engine, it does not connect, I choose database engine as the server type, local hostname as the server name and windows authentication as the authentican type but it fails with the following error:

    resolved via following:
    In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, on the IP Addresses tab, several IP addresses appear in the format IP1, IP2, up to IPAll. One of these is for the IP address of the loopback adapter, 127.0.0.1. Additional IP addresses appear for each IP Address on the computer. Right-click each address, and then click Properties to identify the IP address that you want to configure.
    If the TCP Dynamic Ports dialog box contains 0, indicating the Database Engine is listening on dynamic ports, delete the 0.u201D
    Once I deleted those zeros and put in 1433 for TCP ports on each IP address, voila!
