Unable to call a Packaged function in SQL statement??

I have written a package & overloaded a function 3 times. I am using different parameter name for overloading & call as follows:
my_pkg.ovrld_func(p_1 => v_val)
my_pkg.ovrld_func(p_2 => v_val)
my_pkg.ovrld_func(p_3 => v_val)
When i use this statement in a sql or DML statement i get the following error.
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
I searched for limitations on packages but couldn't find this issue.
FYI: I am using Oracle 9i Rel2
Thanks

I think its a bug as Oracle didn't report this limitation anywhere in the documentation & i should open a TAR.Well, it's documented limitation in fact.

Calling a package function inside a sql

Hi friends!!!
First of all happy Christmas! And them please help! :)
We have a query calling a package function:
SELECT * FROM DW025H WHERE DW025H_NR=MPPCI.ENCR ('0000000000000000');There is a primary key just with one column DW025H_NR and the problem is that is not accessing by INDEX UNIQUE SCAN,
it's accessing by TABLE ACCESS FULL.
May be the problem is that we are calling a procedure inside the query?
I have been able to run that query accessing by primary key from my computer but a workmate hasn't!
We both are connecting the same data base 10.2.0.4 and using Oracle SQL Developer!
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 5343K| 1406M| 15670 (7)| 00:02:43 |
|* 1 | VIEW | DW025H | 5343K| 1406M| 15670 (7)| 00:02:43 |
|* 2 | FILTER | | | | | |
| 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| DW025H | 5343K| 1406M| 15670 (7)| 00:02:43 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
1 - filter("DW025H_NR"="MPPCI"."ENCRIPTAPAN"('0000000000000000'))
2 - filter(CASE "OPS$SISINFO"."IS_USER_DNI"() WHEN 1 THEN
SYS_AUDIT('OPS$SISINFO','DW025H','CMINFOGR001',3) ELSE NULL END IS
NULL)
The correct path would be:
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 276 | 3 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 1 | FILTER | | | | | |
| 2 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| DW025H | 1 | 276 | 3 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 3 | INDEX UNIQUE SCAN | PK_DW025H | 1 | | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
1 - filter(CASE "OPS$SISINFO"."IS_USER_DNI"() WHEN 1 THEN
SYS_AUDIT('OPS$SISINFO','DW025H ','CMINFOGR001',3) ELSE NULL END IS NULL)
3 - access("DW025H_NR"="MPPCI"."ENCR"('0000000000000000'))
Please any ideas!?!?!
Thanks a lot!

Hello
Have a read of this and try to pull together the information in it and post it up here. That will help immensely with getting to the root of your problem...
HOW TO: Post a SQL statement tuning request - template posting
In the mean time:
From the execution plan you have extra predicates that aren't present in the query you supplied, so that's either not the SQL or you have something like VPD switched on.
Anyway, there could be lots of reasons for the difference in execution plan. Sorry if this is very basic and possibly patronising question but it's always worth checking the basics I think - are you both definitely connecting to the same database? If so, have a look in v$sqlarea for this SQL statement and find the SQL_ID, use this to query v$sql and look at the child_number column.
select
    sql_id
from
    v$sqlarea
where
    sql_text like '%SELECT * FROM DW025H WHERE DW025H_NR=MPPCI.ENCR%(''0000000000000000'')%'
and
    sql_text not like '%v$sqlarea%'
select child_number from v$sql where sql_id='<enter the sql id returned by the query above>'as an example...
XXXX> select /* my sql statement*/ rownum id from dual;
        ID
         1
1 row selected.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.10
XXXX> select sql_id from v$sqlarea where sql_text like '%my sql statement%'
and sql_text not like '%v$sqlarea%';
SQL_ID
a6ss4v79udz6g
1 row selected.
Elapsed: 00:00:03.56
XXXX> select child_number from v$sql where sql_id='a6ss4v79udz6g'
2 /
CHILD_NUMBER
           0
1 row selected.   If you have more than one row in v$sql there could be differences in the optimiser environment. The supplied like shows you how to gather the information that should help find what the differences are if any.
Also as a side note if you're calling PL/SQL functions from SQL, you can take advantage of subquery caching to help reduce the number of calls (depending on your version). As it stands, your function is most likely going to be called for every row - when there is only a single row returned, that's not necessarily a problem but for multiple rows, the overhead can quickly grow. If there's no way to get rid of the function call, select the function from dual instead i.e.
SELECT * FROM DW025H WHERE DW025H_NR= (SELECT MPPCI.ENCR%('0000000000000000') FROM dual);This also (as I learnt a couple of weeks ago) works when you're using columns in the table your selecting from as parameters to the function.

Call C function in SQL statement

dear all
I want to know how i can call C function in SQL statement where clause

Calling public package functions and variables through dblink

Is it possible to call a global public variable in a package in one database from another package procedure in another database using a database link? If so, could you let me know the syntax? Same question for package functions.

Hi,
check this documentation link especially the stmt...
http://www.mcs.csueastbay.edu/support/oracle/doc/10.2/appdev.102/b14251/adfns_packages.htm#i1007858
You cannot access remote package variables and constants.May be you can write a function in the remote db which when called will return the variable value.
for calling remote package functions...
syntax from documentation is [[schema.]package.]function_name[@dblink][(param_1...param_n)]
an example given in the above link for this...
EXECUTE fire_emp1@boston_server(1043);

Calling Oracle Package Function from Visual Basic

Hi,
Oracle Client 8.04
Oracle ODBC Driver 8.00.04
VB 6.0
Windows 2000
I'm stumped here. I want to have a Oracle stored procedure run a
query and return a result set which I can assign to a recordset
object in VB. Based on things I've read here and on MS's site,
here's what I've done:
In the Oracle Schema Manager under the Packages folder I created
the following package:
PACKAGE test
IS
TYPE test_cur IS REF CURSOR;
FUNCTION mycur RETURN test_cur;
END test;
and under the Package Body folder created:
PACKAGE BODY test
IS
FUNCTION mycur RETURN test_cur
IS
c_return test_cur;
BEGIN
OPEN c_return FOR
SELECT * FROM table_A;
RETURN c_return;
CLOSE c_return;
END mycur;
END test;
They both compile without errors and in Oracle SQL Worksheet I
can enter the following:
variable x refcursor;
execute :x :=test.mycur;
print x;
and the query results are displayed as expected.
The problem is trying to get the result back into a VB recordset
object.
In VB 6.0 I have done this:
Dim RS As ADODB.Recordset
Dim Conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim sConnection As String
Dim sSQL As String
sSQL = "{call test.mycur}"
sConnection = "Provider=MSDASQL;UID=" & sUserID & ";PWD=" &
sPassword & ";Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}; Server=" &
sInstance & ";"
Conn.Open sConnection
RS.CursorLocation = adUseClient
RS.Open sSQL, Conn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockOptimistic,
adCmdStoredProc ' or adCmdText
but get:
?err.Number -2147217900
?err.Source Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
?err.Description [Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle]Syntax error
or access violation
The problem is not with the connection or permissions, since the
query works fine when I just use the select statement in the
package function as the string, instead of calling the function
in the package (eg sSQL = "Select * from table_A") and can
process the resulting recordset in VB.
I've also tried variations using:
Set RS = Conn.Execute("{call test.mycur}")
or using a Command object something like:
Dim com As ADODB.Command
Set com = New ADODB.Command
With Conn
.ConnectionString = sConnection
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.Open
End With
With com
.ActiveConnection = Conn
.CommandText = sSQL
.CommandType = adCmdText
End With
Set RS.Source = com
RS.Open
But still get the same errors. Any help is appreciated. Also, in
my package body, is it necessary to explicitly close the cursor,
or does the function just exit when it executes the return and
not ever hit the close statement?
Thanks,
Ed Holloman

Hi
i don't know if you got your answer, but i work with VB and
Oracle.
the procedure in the DB should have the cursor like you writen
in your mail.
to call a procedure in Oracle and get the data back
into a recordset you shuld use a Command object like this:
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set conn = CreateObject("adodb.connection")
Set cmd = CreateObject("adodb.command")
Set rs = CreateObject("adodb.recordset")
With conn
.ConnectionString = ""
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.Open
End With
'THE IMPORTENT SECTION IS THIS WHERE YOU SET THE COMMAND TO THE
STORE PROCEDURE TYPE
With cmd
.ActiveConnection = conn
.CommandText = "proc.fun"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
End With
'Then you set the rs to the command
Set rs = cmd.Execute
Set conn = Nothing
Set rs = Nothing
Set cmd = Nothing

Calling a package function in the data template

Hello All,
I am not able to understand the concept of calling a function from the data template.
In my data template, I put the sql statement as
<sqlStatement name="Q_SEL">
<![CDATA[ Select l_period_name PERIOD_NAME
from xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name(1) ]]>
</sqlStatement>
Is it possible to call a specific package function as shown above in a select statement?
I am getting the message "ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended" when I tried with the above. Could you pls. point out what the error is in the above sqlStatement?
1) My instance is R12.1.3
2) The base pkg function 'xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name' expects a number to be passed in as 'IN' parameter.
Thanks,
Monkey

I tried another version of the sql statement (after going through some older posts) like:
<sqlStatement name="Q_SEL">
<![CDATA[ Select xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name(1) PERIOD_NAME
from dual]]>
</sqlStatement>
My group is :
<group name="G_PERIOD_NAME" source="Q_SEL">
<element name="PERIOD_NAME" value="PERIOD_NAME"/>
</group>
Now getting the error message:
ORA-00904: xla_tb_ap_report_pvt.get_period_name : invaild identifier
What is it that i am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Monkey

Error calling a package function

Hi all,
I've created one package and inside it, I've two different functions. The package definition and body are OK.
Now, I want use it but, I've an error:
ORA-06550: line 16, column 13:
PLS-00201: 'BB.PKG_BB_TEMP' must be declared
this is the function declaration on package declaration:
FUNCTION busca_municipio (gest varchar2) RETURN number;
Procedure solu (codi_ges number, muni number);
And this is the code from I'm calling:
DECLARE
CURSOR datos IS
select a.id from bb.cr_agent a, bb.cr_branchoffice b, bb.cr_professionalorder p, bb.cr_user u where a.branchoffice_id = b.id
and b.professionalorder_id = p.id and p.externalsystem_id = 42 and a.id = u.id and u.address_id is null;
cod_ag number;
muni number;
BEGIN
muni:=0;
open datos;
loop
fetch datos into cod_ag;
exit when datos%notfound;
muni:=bb.pkg_bb_temp.busca_municipio(cod_ag);
bb.pkg_bb_temp.solu (cod_ag,muni);
end loop;
close datos;
END;
This package is owned by user BB, and I'm connected like sys to execute the code I put before.
Any ideas?

Regards,
dbajugHave you created the package with a case sensitive name i.e. did you put double quotes around it?
select owner, object_name from all_objects where upper(object_name) = 'PKG_BB_TEMP';The owner should show as "BB" and the object_name should be in upper case (hopefully). If it's not upper case then it's been created case sensitive and you you'll have to either recreate the package without using double quotes around the name or make sure you always reference the package with double quotes and the case exact version of the name.
e.g.
GRANT EXECUTE ON "PKG_bb_temp" TO <user>;Hopefully, you are not running your other code as SYS, so you should ensure you grant permission to the correct user, not to SYS.

Problem calling a packaged function from an authorization scheme

I wrote a package and body called pkg_auth with a function returning a boolean called is_authorized with 2 parameters (username and functional area).
i.e.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_auth
AS
FUNCTION is_authorized(p_username VARCHAR2, p_functional_area VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN;
END;
additionally i created a public synonym for it and granted execute access on it to apex_public_user and htmldb_public_user;
i then created an authorization scheme called 'access_control_db' defined as Scheme Type 'PLSQL Function Returning Boolean' and placed the following:
pkg_auth.is_authorized(v('APP_USER'),'DATABASE')
in the Expression 1 field.
and the following:
Not permitted to edit database information.
in the error field.
However when I apply this authorization scheme to a buton I receive the following error when I go to the page containing that button:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 44: PLS-00221: 'IS_AUTHORIZED' is not a procedure or is undefined ORA-06550: line 1, column 44: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Error ERR-1082 Error in executing authorization scheme code.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hello,
Does putting 'return' infront -
return pkg_auth.is_authorized(v('APP_USER'),'DATABASE')fix your problem?

My sql client version is 9.2.0.1.0. and my data base version is 10.2.0.2.0.
Please advice.

Could you post the exception handler within the function.
It sounds like you return -1 if you experience an error - it would be easier to determine the cause of the problem if you return the Oracle error details, E.g:
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN dbms_utility.format_error_backtrace;This will then return a meaningful error, identifying exactly what is causing the error to be generated.

How to retreive out parameters from function in sql statement

hi dear,
Suppose i have a fuction with two "out" parameters, i want to show the values of these paramenters in sql stm.
like
select my_function() from dual;
Thanx

Can't be done. To use a function in SQL it can only have a single return value.
Try something like this changing the data types appropriately.
var x number
var y number
var z number
exec :x := my_function(:y, :z)

Package, Function in SQL Developer

DB 10gR2
SQL Developer 2.1.1.64
I can see the following package's code on my SQL Developer
create or replace PACKAGE zero AS
FUNCTION one (P_TABLE VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
FUNCTION two RETURN VARCHAR2;
END zero;
But I can't find function one or function two on the left hand side navigation. Why can't I see the codes for both of the function? and how do I see the codes of those function?
Thanks

You are seeing the package specification. To see the body (what you call "codes"), you should expand the package's navigator node and click on the body exposed just below.
Hope that helps,

Oracle session Hangs while calling one package function

Hi all,
We are a facing a interesting scenario in our code. Consider that you have 2 pakcages(A,B). Ecah packages is having more than 5 functions in it.
1. A.function1() makes a call to B.function1() - is working fine
2 .B.function1() calls B.function2() - is working fine
3. B.function2() calls A.function2() - oracle session hangs in this call.
If I copy the scropt code from A.function2() and inline (put) it in B.function1() , the execution gets completed without an issue.
If i run the A.function2() seperatly it works fine. Only calling from B package it is failing.
If anyone knows the rooot cause of the issue, please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Vijayaraja

Do you have/use global variables?
Moving code from one package to another doesnt necessarily result in logically equivalent programs. In the version of your program which hangs you may have crafted an infinite loop. Instrument your code and see if you really stall or just keep going on forever.
With this kind of cross-dependencies in your libraries you almost ask for trouble.
