Testing stored procedure using sql plus

I'm attempt to create and test a stored procedure in sql plus.
I enter:
create procedure sp_getconfiguration(mygroup in char, myparameter in char, myvalue in out char) as begin select configvalue into myvalue from tblconfiguration where configgroup = mygroup and configparameter = myparameter; end;/
I get a procedure created. response by when I type:
variable myval char
call sp_getconfiguration('Language','Enabled', myval);
I get the following error:
error at line 1:
ora-06576: not a valid function or procedure name
I can go into DBA studio and see the procedure listed and can compile it and it says "valid". I have tried granting execute permission to public and trying it again under sql plus and nothing seems to help.
I'm also attempting to run this same procedure from VB and get an invalid column name error from there.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Thanks for all your help. What I actually called product support and they helped me solve it. But what I found out is that if using oracle 8.1.# you have to invoke the stored procedure without the "call " in front of the procedure name. For instance.
sp_getconfiguation()
In version 9.# it appears that you use the call in front of the procedure. Dah! So if anyone else is having this problem. That is the solution. Thanks anyway.

  • Improve the performance in stored procedure using sql server 2008 - esp where clause in very big table - Urgent

    Hi,
    I am looking for inputs in tuning stored procedure using sql server 2008. l am new to performance tuning in sql,plsql and oracle. currently facing issue in stored procedure - need to increase the performance by code optmization/filtering the records using where clause in larger table., the requirement is Stored procedure generate Audit Report which is accessed by approx. 10 Admin Users typically 2-3 times a day by each Admin users.
    It has got CTE ( common table expression ) which is referred 2  time within SP. This CTE is very big and fetches records from several tables without where clause. This causes several records to be fetched from DB and then needed processing. This stored procedure is running in pre prod server which has 6gb of memory and built on virtual server and the same proc ran good in prod server which has 64gb of ram with physical server (40sec). and the execution time in pre prod is 1min 9seconds which needs to be reduced upto 10secs or so will be the solution. and also the exec time differs from time to time. sometimes it is 50sec and sometimes 1min 9seconds..
    Pl provide what is the best option/practise to use where clause to filter the records and tool to be used to tune the procedure like execution plan, sql profiler?? I am using toad for sqlserver 5.7. Here I see execution plan tab available while running the SP. but when i run it throws an error. Pl help and provide inputs.
    Thanks,
    Viji

    You've asked a SQL Server question in an Oracle forum.  I'm expecting that this will get locked momentarily when a moderator drops by.
    Microsoft has its own forums for SQL Server, you'll have more luck over there.  When you do go there, however, you'll almost certainly get more help if you can pare down the problem (or at least better explain what your code is doing).  Very few people want to read hundreds of lines of code, guess what's it's supposed to do, guess what is slow, and then guess at how to improve things.  Posting query plans, the results of profiling, cutting out any code that is unnecessary to the performance problem, etc. will get you much better answers.

    I have a batch file to run a stored procedure and spool the results to file. When I enter the commands manually in sql*plus the output works fine and my results are spooled to the output file. But when I run the same commands in the batched script I get an error.
    Any ideas?

    Pasting these commands directly to the SQL*Plus command prompt spools the result set to file as expected.

    Is MMP procedure owned by the same user that is running the batch file or does it have proper privileges and synonym?

    Any sqldev export is in normal readable format, with CREATEs, INSERTs and such.
    EXP/EXPDP in contrast stores binary data only readable with IMP/IMPDP.
    IMO, the sqldev method is better for small exports (of few objects and/or data), and EXPDP is better for full schema or DB exports as it's a lot faster.

    Using SQL*Plus you can debug your stored pl/sql code only adding some "prints" in your code:

  • Stored Procedure vs SQL Injection

    Hello
    I am workin in a migration project. In this project we are remaking a web application based in ASP classic to ASP.NET but there is a serious problem: the principal query is suprisingly slow in the ASP.NET application and I don't know why.
    I'm using a stored procedure which contains the same query used in ASP classic, but it is slower than the query itself. I'd been doing some test and definitely the use of stored procedure with ASP.NET is slower than de sql injection in ASP classic and this seems very improbable theoretically.
    I really need to improve the speed of that stored proceudre but I don't know how, and it is driving me crazy because the query is a simple select.
    I'll thank every help/explanation about it.
    sorry for my english.

    I think you may have posted in the wrong section of the forum since this really doesn't sound like this is necessarily an issue with ODP.NET or even anything Windows / .NET-related.
    That said, have you tried running the procedure using SQL-Plus? You should also check the explain plan to make sure that you're taking advantage of indexes, etc. although if the query by itself is fast, then there may be a problem with the way the procedure is written. Also, as far as I know it's almost impossible to figure out why a query is slow based on the info you've given thus far. You may want to post some or all of the procedure if you're able to do so without causing problems with your employer. Without any way to recreate the issue, it's hard to say what the problem might be. Again, though....try running the procedure using SQL-Plus directly and see how that works out.

  • Debugging stored procedure in SQL Server 2012

    Hi,
    Please I need your help.
    I used to debug stored procedures in SQL server 2008, 2008 R2. I'm debugging the stored procedure using SQL Server management studio. I just create a break point then I click on the debug button
    and start debugging without any problems.
    I'm talking about my local machine which I have administrator privileges on the machine. My account in the administrators group and I'm assigned in the sysadmin role in SQL server but I couldn't
    debug the stored procedure. When I create a break point and try to debug the stored procedure I'm getting a popup screen saying "To continue debugging, the firewall needs to be configured. Configuring the firewall requires privileges."
    I tried to figure out the issue but unfortunately until now I'm not able to resolve it.
    Thanks. 

    The problem resolved with help of Microsoft support but it was really strange situation.
    First, the following is my environment.
    OS is Windows 8 Pro
    SQL Server 2012
    I did try everything firewall, Anti-Virus and other thing as well. I usually type (local) on the server name TextBox. I did close my Anti-Virus program, turn off windows firewall and run SQL server as administrator but I’m still
    unable to debug.
    I just do one thing and one thing only, changed the (local) on the server name TextBox to the actual server name and everything work fine. I did try that with everything close/open my Anti-Virus program, turn
    off/one windows firewall and still work fine, and I was able to debug any T-SQL in SQL server 2012 but run it as administrator.
    Anyway, I’m happy to back on the road again.
    Thank you every single one of you who try his best to help.
    Cheers.

  • Retrieving PL/SQL Table Type returned by stored procedure using Java.

    Hi All,
    I am facing an issue in a Stored Procedure (SP) which returns Table Type, the PL/SQL complex type.
    Below mentioned is how my stored procedure looks like.
    CREATE OR REPLACE package sp_test_pkg as
    TYPE v_value_table_type is table of SW_VALID_CODE.swValue%Type
    index by binary_integer;
    v_swRMAStatus v_value_table_type;

    out_batch_size in out int,
    status out int);
    end sp_test_lcode_code_pkg;
    My java program to access this stored procedure is as given below:
    import java.sql.*;
    import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
    public class OracleTest {       
         public static void main(String args[]) {
         Connection con = null;

    String url = "url";
         String userName = "username";

    Can anyone please help me out in resolving this issue?. This is very urgent.

    JDBC does not recognise types declared in PL/SQL. This is documented in the Dev Guide. [Find out more|http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/java.920/a96654/oraarr.htm#1057625].
    The only work around would be to build a wrapper which calls your existing PL/SQL procedures and returns a SQL type instead. Obviously not knowing your precise scenario I have no idea how much work this entails for you. It may be worth building a code generator.

  • How to bind arrays to PL/SQL stored procedure using OCI?

    Hi,
    We are having problems trying to bind arrays to PL/SQL stored procedure using OCI. Here is the situation:
    - We have a stored procedure called "GetVEPFindTasks" with the following interface:
    PROCEDURE GetVEPFindTasks (
    p_ErrorCode OUT NUMBER,
    p_ErrorMsg OUT VARCHAR2,
    p_RowCount OUT NUMBER,
    p_VEPFindTasks OUT t_VEPFindTaskRecordTable,
    p_MaxTask IN NUMBER);
    t_VEPFindTaskRecordTable is a record with the following entries:
    TYPE t_VEPFindTaskRecord IS RECORD (
    RTCID NUMBER,
    TransNum NUMBER,
    TransTimestamp VARCHAR2(20),
    Pathname1 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
    Pathname2 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
    Pathname3 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
    OperatorID operator.id%TYPE);
    - Now, we are trying to call the stored procedure from C++ using OCI (in UNIX). The call that we use are: OCIBindByName and OCIBindArrayOfStruct to bind the parameters to the corresponding buffers. We bind all parameters in the interface by name. Now, we do bind the record's individual item by name (RTCID, TransNum, etc.), and not as a record. I don't know if this is going to work. Then, we use the bind handles of the binded record items (only record items such as RTCID, TransNum, and NOT error_code which is not part of the record) to bind the arrays (using OCIBindArrayOfStruct).
    All of the parameters that are binded as arrays are OUTPUT parameters. The rest are either INPUT or INPUT/OUTPUT parameters. Now, when we try to execute, OCI returns with an error "Invalid number or types of arguments" (or something to that sort... the number was something like ORA-06550). Please help...
    Is there any sample on how to use the OCIBindArrayOfStruct with PL/SQL stored procedures? The sample provided from Oracle is only for a straight SQL statement.
    Thank's for all your help.
    ** Dannil Chan **

    As you said:
    You have to pass in an array for every field and deconstruct/construct the record in the procedure. There is no support for record type or an array of records. Can you give me a example? I'am very urgently need it.
