Updateable recordset from a stored procedure

I would like to retrieve an updateable recordset from a stored procedure using the oracle 9.2.0.2.0
oledb provider
I am using the sample code/tables provided from Oracle.
Does anyone have an example or has actually created an updatedable recordset from a stored procedure ?

Assuming your stored procedure is returning a REF CURSOR, it cannot be done. Oracle's REF CURSORS are read only constructs.

How to get an updatable ADODB Recordset from a Stored Procedure?

In VB6 I have this code to get a disconnected ADODB Recordset from a Oracle 9i database (the Oracle Client is 10g):
Dim conSQL As ADODB.Connection
Dim comSQL As ADODB.Command
Dim recSQL As ADODB.Recordset
Set conSQL = New ADODB.Connection
With conSQL
.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Password=<pwd>;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=<uid>;Data Source=<dsn>"
.CursorLocation = adUseClientBatch
.Open
End With
Set comSQL = New ADODB.Command
With comSQL
.ActiveConnection = conSQL
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.CommandText = "P_PARAM.GETALLPARAM"
.Properties("PLSQLRSet").Value = True
End With
Set recSQL = New ADODB.Recordset
With recSQL
Set .Source = comSQL
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.CursorType = adOpenStatic
.LockType = adLockBatchOptimistic
.Open
.ActiveConnection = Nothing
End With
The PL/SQL Procedure is returning a REF CURSOR like this:
PROCEDURE GetAllParam(op_PARAMRecCur IN OUT P_PARAM.PARAMRecCur)
IS
BEGIN
OPEN op_PARAMRecCur FOR
SELECT *
FROM PARAM
ORDER BY ANNPARAM DESC;
END GetAllParam;
When I try to update some values in the ADODB Recordset (still disconnected), I get the following error:
Err.Description: Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value.
Err.Number: -2147217887 (80040E21)
Err.Source: Microsoft Cursor Engine
The following properties on the Command object doesn't change anything:
.Properties("IRowsetChange") = True
.Properties("Updatability") = 7
How can I get an updatable ADODB Recordset from a Stored Procedure?

4 years later...
I was having then same problem.
Finally, I've found how to "touch" the requierd bits.
Obviously, it's hardcore, but since some stupid at microsoft cannot understand the use of a disconnected recordset in the real world, there is no other choice.

Not able to retrive the recordset from oracle stored procedure in VC++

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve the records from the reference cursor which is an out parameter for an oracle 9i store procedure in VC++ application. But it is giving the record count as -1 always. Meanwhile i am able to get the required output in VB application from the same oracle 9i store procedure .

It can be linked to internal conversion. In some case, the value of internal or extranal value is not the same.
When you run SE16 (or transaction N), you have in option mode the possibility to use the exit conversion or not.

How do I get return parameters from a stored procedure call?

The Open SQL Statement has an option on the Advanced tab to specify a command type of 'stored procedure'. In addition to returning a recordset, a stored procedure can also return parameters (see http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q185/1/25.ASP for info on doing this with ADO). Is it possible to get those return parameters with TestStand? In particular, I want to be able to get error codes back from the stored procedure in case it fails (maybe there is another way).

The Open SQL Statement step type does not fully support stored procedures. If the procedure returns a record set than you can fetch the values as you would a SELECT statement. Stored procedures require you to setup the parameters before the call and this is not yet supported. Bob, in his answer, made a reference to the Statements tab and I think that he was talking about the Database Logging feature in TS 2.0.
If the stored procedure is returning a return value, it may return as a single column, single row recordset which can be fetched as you normally do a record set.

How to get an UPDATABLE REF CURSOR from the STORED PROCEDURE

using C# with
ORACLE OLE DB version: 9.0.0.1
ADO version: 2.7
I returns a REF CURSOR from a stored procedure seems like:
type TCursor is ref cursor;
procedure test_out_cursor(p_Dummy in varchar, p_Cur out TCursor) is
begin
open p_Cur for select * from DUAL;
end;
I create an ADO Command object and set
cmd.Properties["IRowsetChange"].Value = true;
cmd.Properties["Updatability"].Value = 7;
cmd.Properties["PLSQLRSet"].Value = 1;
cmd.CommandText = "{CALL OXSYS.TEST.TEST_OUT_CURSOR(?)}";
and I use a Recordset object to open it:
rs.Open(cmd, Missing.Value,
ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenStatic,
ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockBatchOptimistic,
(int) ADODB.CommandTypeEnum.adCmdText +
(int) ADODB.ExecuteOptionEnum.adOptionUnspecified);
The rs can be opened but can NOT be updated!
I saved the recordset into a XML file and there's no
rs:baseschema/rs:basetable/rs:basecolumn
attributes for "s:AttributeType" element.
Any one have idea about this?
thanks very much

It is not possible through ADO/OLEDB.
Try ODP.NET currently in Beta, it is possible to update DataSet created with refcursors. You need to specify your custom SQL or SP to send update/insert/delete.
As I remember there is a sample with ODP.NET Beta 1 just doing this.

How to determine number of records in recordset returned by stored procedure?

In TestStand 3.0 I am calling an SQL stored procedure where the stored
procedure returns a recordset. Everything appears to work (I can
iterate through the recordset and see that the data is valid).
However, I can not figure out how to easilly determine how many
records are actually in the recordset. Unlike the 'Open SQL
Statement' step, in the 'Data Operation' step that actually invokes
the stored procedure, there is no 'Number of Records Selected' option
to specify a TestStand variable to accept this value. I know I could
iterate through the returned recordset incrementing a counter until a
Fetch fails, but for larger recordsets, traversing the table multiple
times would be quite time consuming
. I am hoping to avoid this if
possible. Is there an easier way to get the number of records in a
recordset returned from a stored procedure call?
Bob

Bob -
The cursor type of the ADO Recordset object affects whether the number of records can be determined. The Recordset.RecordCount property will return -1 for a forward-only cursor; the actual count for a static or keyset cursor; and either -1 or the actual count for a dynamic cursor, depending on the data source.
Because ADO does not let me set the cursor type for command objects which is what a stored procedure requires, it is up to the data source to determine the type of cursor and the support for record count.

Get variable values from a stored procedure

I am using SQL 2008R2 and I want to replace a view inside a stored procedure with a new stored procedure to return multiple variable values. Currently I am using the code below to get values for 4 different variables. I would rather get the 4 variables
from a stored procedure (which returns all of these 4 values and more) but not sure how to do so. Below is the code for getting the 4 variable values in my current sp.
DECLARE @TotalCarb real;
DECLARE @TotalPro real;
DECLARE @TotalFat real;
DECLARE @TotalLiquid real;
SELECT @TotalCarb = ISNULL(TotCarb,0),
@TotalPro = ISNULL(TotPro,0),
@TotalFat = ISNULL(TotFat,0),
@TotalLiquid = ISNULL(TotLiq,0)
FROM dbo.vw_ActualFoodTotals
WHERE (MealID = @MealID);

You can replace the view with inline table valued user-defined function:

Retruring Multiple rows from a Stored Procedure

The Oracle JDBC documentation shows how to return a cursor pointer through the parameter list of a stored procedure allowing a Java program to use the cursor like a normal result set. I've tried it (using the thin driver) and it works fine - however, I'm having trouble getting this to work running the program under a Weblogic server (using their own JDBC implementation). So, I have two questions:
1) Has anyone had this problem before and solved it ??
2) Are there any other techniques for getting multiple rows back from the database without having to fire "raw" sql at it ?

Hi
You could return not resultset but array, for example:
PACKAGE TEST:
type string_table is table of varchar2(80)
index by binary_integer;
function get_something (
something1 out string_table,
arraylength in number
) return number;
PACKAGE'S BODY:
function get_something (
something1 out string_table,
arraylength in number /** length of the array **/
) return number as
cursor C is
select something1, ...
from test_table;
pos number := 1;
begin
for position in C loop
exit when (pos > arraylength);
something1(pos) := position.something1;
pos := pos + 1;
end loop;
return (pos - 1);
end;
Of course in this example you need to know length of your array
(arraylength parameter), but you can avoid such problem, for
example, by using DBMS_SQL package (or dynamic SQL feature in
the Oracle8i).

Calling stored procedure from a stored procedure

I have a stored procedure that accepts a customer prefix like "abc" and returns a customer document number like "abc-0021". (Thanks V Garcia)
This sp works when I call it from SQL Plus Worksheet.
But I need to call it from another stored procedure and store it in a local variable so that I can insert it into a table with the rest of the information.
This is what I have tried so far:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "SCHEMANAME"."SP_XXTESTXX" ( seq_name in
    varchar2)
AS
      id_out varchar(10);
BEGIN
   execute SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER(seq_name,:id_out);
   print id_out;
END;but this will not compile. I get this error:
Line # = 8 Column # = 12 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER" when expecting one of the following:     := . ( @ % ; immediate The symbol ":=" was substituted for "SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER" to continue.
Line # = 8 Column # = 41 Error Text = PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'ID_OUT'
Line # = 10 Column # = 10 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "ID_OUT" when expecting one of the following:     := . ( @ % ; The symbol ":=" was substituted for "ID_OUT" to continue.

I think I got it.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "SCHEMANAME"."SP_XXTESTXX" ( seq_name in
    varchar2)
AS
id_out varchar(10);
BEGIN
SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER(seq_name,id_out);
dbms_output.put_line(id_out);
END;This works like I wanted it to do.

Set page item from a stored procedure

Dear reader
We would like to have a stored procedure to run every 10 minutes. When the procedure starts, the user has to be warned that the update process is running.
When the procedure is finished, the user should receive a message that the update process is finished.
What I had in mind was to set a Page 0 item 'P0_REFRESH' and set his value depending on the status of the update. Then add a dynamic action with a change event. So everytime the value of this page item changes, the user will receive a correct message.
Does anyone know if it is possible to set a page item from a stored procedure?
Kind regards
Xnni

AndyPol
I found a solution by querying the user_jobs table. In Apex, I created two page 0 items that hold the current status of the job (online, offline) and the old value of the job.
Online of offline in the current status item is determined by a decode on "this_sec".
The enext step was to include a html region in P0 that contains some javascript. This javascript will display a message when the values of the new status is different from the old status ;)
Many thanks for bringing up the ideas.

Hi rajni,
I've tryed your solution but it doesn't work, for the same reason that yuo can see here:
Re: questions about dbms_scheduler.create_job (ORA-27371)
I've also tryed the solution of the "user534897", but it doesn't work too.
At execution time Oracle give me this error:

If you have any other idea or suggestion you're welcome. At the moment I've no solution for my problem.

Call a Vbscript from a stored procedure

Hi,
I wonder is it possible to call a Vbscript from a stored procedure, any good reference for this.
thanks

Well here is quick and dirty example I just created.
Step 1. Create a test_batch.bat file that creates a folder "c:\test_dir" and copy "c:emp.lst" into it.
C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat
md c:\test_dir
copy c:\emp.lst c:\test_dir
Step2. From SQLPLUS, spool scott.emp into c:\emp.lst and call the batch from the dbms_scheduler that kicks off right away,
set echo off
set feedback off
spool c:\emp.lst;
select * from scott.emp;
spool off;
begin
     dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name => 'run_batch',
     job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
     job_action => 'C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat',
     start_date => sysdate,
     enabled => true,
     comments => 'Run VB Script');
end;
Check if the directory is created and if the file is copied over. Task is to kick off the executable and test is the VBscript within the batch. Challenge is how long the script runs before the next statement in the PL/SQL runs. May be you have to introduce sleep in between.
Note: You must have at least "CREATE JOB" privilege.
Happy coding!
