Using an Oracle procedure that returns three ref cursors

Is it possible to use an Oracle stored proc that outputs 3 reference cursors to create a BO report? I can get it to work for one ref cursor only.

Well, If no one can answer my first question, how about a new one. Can you join 2 data cubes on a key in a BO report (using 2 Oracle stored procedures)? For example, I have one cube that has employee beneficiary information and a second cube with what employee coverages the person has. I need to have a report that displays an employee, thier coverages and then a section that show the employee benefits. I need a report for each employee (therefore 100 employees= 100 reports) and I can't join the data cubes. Any help would be appreciated.

Procedure to RETURN a REF CURSOR

Environment:
OWB10g Client on Windows XP Professional
Repository - 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Target - 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Is it possible to create a PROCEDURE in OWB that returns a REF CURSOR?
It was not one of the TYPEs available when specifying the procedure parameters.
Is this an enhancement that's coming if it's not possible today?
Many thanks for all feedback. This is a great interactive discussion forum.
Gary

Good afternoon Gary,
Have you checked whether it's possible to use the table-function?
Don't know you specific requirements, but according to the explanation ("Table functions extend PL/SQL and are a new option in Oracle9i. This option allows a function to accept, process and return multiple rows.") it at least is capable of returning rowtypes.
Cheers, Patrick

Call to Oracle stored procedure that returns ref cursor doesn't work

I'm trying to use an OData service operation with Entity Framework to call an Oracle stored procedure that takes an number as an input parameter and returns a ref cursor. The client is javascript so I'm using the rest console to test my endpoints. I have been able to successful call a regular Oracle stored procedure that takes a number parameter but doesn't return anything so I think I have the different component interactions correct. When I try calling the proc that has an ref cursor for the output I get the following an error "Invalid number or type of parameters". Here are my specifics:
App.config

from WORKORDERS
where WINDFARM_ID = WINDFARMID;
end GetWorkOrdersByWindFarmId;
I defined a function import for the stored procedure using the directions I found online by creating a new complex type. I don't know if I should be defining the input parameter, WindfarmId, in my app.config? If I should what would that format look like? I also don't know if I'm invoking the stored procedure correctly in my service operation? I'm testing everything through the rest console because the client consuming this information is written in javascript and expecting a json format. Any help is appreciated!

Making the change you suggested still resulted in the same Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException {"ORA-06550: line 1, column 8:\nPLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GETWORKORDERSBYWINDFARMID'\nORA-06550: line 1, column 8:\nPL/SQL: Statement ignored"} System.Exception {Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException}
I keep thinking it has to do with my oracle.dataaccess.client settings in App.Config because I don't actually put the WindfarmId and an input parameter. I tried a few different ways to do this but can't find the correct format.

Using XI - RFC table and an Oracle stored procedure that returns a cursor.

I need to create an interface using XI between an RFC table and an Oracle stored procedure that returns a cursor. We are on oarcle 9.2 and SP12.
My stored procedure looks something like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE testproc_xi2 (p_recordset1 OUT SYS_REFCURSOR,
                                         in_quoteid IN varchar2 )
AS
BEGIN
OPEN p_recordset1 FOR
   SELECT q.quote_id,
                 q.modified_by,
                 q.quote_status,
                 q.total_cost
            FROM quote q
           WHERE q.quote_id = in_quoteid
             AND q.total_cost > 0 ;
END testproc_xi2 ;
My RFC has table and one import parameter .
I wanted to know how to create the data type for the ref cursor? and also for the table type in the RFC?
CAN XI handle multi rows coming from a Stored procedure? Are there any other alternative methods if this is not supported?Any pointers to this would be helpful.
I have called a Oracle SP from an RFC before, but that interface had one input parameter going to the stored procedure from the RFC and about 6 o/p parameters coming from the Stored procedure. This works fine.
Thanks for the help.
Mala

Mala,
i dont think there is anything called an rfc table...RFC stands for remote function call. That in essence would imply you need a rfc to jdbc connection.
yes XI can handle multiple rows cooming from the the stored procedure if you have them mapped appropriately.
Now as to how to create the data type within xi , you need to know what fields are going to be returned and whether they are nested and then just create them as you would for an xml
for ex
<Details>
<FirstName>
<LastName>
</Details>
that in xi would be smthing like
Details type of data occurence
FirstName type of data occurence
LastName type of data occurence.
Hope that helps.
If it does dont forget the points..:-)

Call a procedure that returns a refcursor, use it in another proc's sql?

I have a procedure that returns a refcursor; how can I include that refcursor in a sql statement that's in another procedure, or view etc?
This is the kind of foolery I've tried so far (myproc1 returns a ref cursor):
create or replace procedure myproc2
rc ref cursor
AS
rc1 ref cursor;
begin
EXECUTE myproc1(rc1);
open rc for
select rc1.* from rc1;
end myproc2;

To reiterate, I was interested in consuming the refcursor output of one proc in another proc. I wanted to take what I regarded as the records returned by the first sproc and manipulate them using SQL in the second sproc.

Help! Need oracle help with constructing stored procedure that return resultsets

Suns tutorial path for returning resultsets from stored procedures indicates that the following should work...
CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall("{call SHOW_SUPPLIERS}");
ResultSet rs = cs.executeQuery();
Thats if you build your stored procedure something like this ...
String createProcedure = "create procedure SHOW_SUPPLIERS " + "as " + "select SUPPLIERS.SUP_NAME, COFFEES.COF_NAME " + "from SUPPLIERS, COFFEES " + "where SUPPLIERS.SUP_ID = COFFEES.SUP_ID " + "order by SUP_NAME";
We are using oracle 8.1.6. However I've been told that with oracle procedures when you return a result set from a called procedure you return a p_cursor variable. Somthing like this
(p_cursor in out SHOW_SUPPLIERS.SHOCurTyp)
is
begin
open p_cursor for
select * from suppliers
In which case the above mentioned sun code doesn't work.
We want to use jdbc to call a stored procedure that returns a resultset that does not require us to import any proprietary oracle objects...
Is there another way to write these stored procedures, rather than using this cursor construct? Are we missing something in the way we invoke them?

Dear concern
Really sorry not to make format listing because i am amature to this blog.
my anwser to your way .
1. I have Tested my SQL statements manually in SQL*Plus. this runs ok
2. "Cursor loops, such as the one you have coded here, have been obsolete in Oracle since version 8i 12+ years ago.
Look up BULK COLLECT and FORALL in the docs and use them instead."
I am trying to make use of the BULK COLLECT and FORALL statement in proper location.
3. "Your procedure never performs a commit so no work actually takes place" i need to get the anwser why........................?
4. "On what basis was the decision made to use the default PCTFREE and PCTUSED values of 10 and 40?"
is there any problem if default is used..? if any suggestion........pls
5." You did not format your listing using the CODE tags as explained in the FAQ making your listing unreadable ... so I've not read it.
Please read the FAQ and use the proper way to post code so we can understand it. Then perhaps we can help you further. " really sorry not to make understandable to you..? but i will try from next post..
I really will try to be synced..
My aim is to make query to Table A using the cursor value like( '4422','442','4411','441','44') and get some data in accordance of these values.Then i put the data into another Table B. same time i need to delete the record from Table A containing the prefix value in accordance for example- i compute value for '4422' from Table A and put the computed value to Table B .Then i delete the record from Table A where prefix is '4422' .so that computed value for the next prefix '442' should contain the computed value for 442[0-1] and 442[3-9] .Same way it will be happened for ('4411','441','44'....bla...bla).
Thanks in advance..

Call a Stored Procedure that returns a REFCURSOR using ODI Procedure

Hi,
I have a scenario wherein the stored procedure (TEST_PROC1) that returns a REFCURSOR. The second procedure(TEST_PROC2) will use the REFCURSOR as inpuut and insert it to a table.
Now, I need to execute the test procedures (TEST_PROC1 and TEST_PROC2) using the ODI Procedure but I always get error. However, I was able to execute the test procedures using sqlplus. Here is the command I used for sqlplus:
               var rc refcursor
               exec TEST_PROC1(:rc);
               exec TEST_PROC2(:rc);
PL/SQL Stored Procedure:
-- TEST_PROC1 --
create or replace
PROCEDURE TEST_PROC1 (p_cursor IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN p_cursor FOR
SELECT *
FROM test_table1;
END;
-- TEST_PROC2 --
create or replace
procedure TEST_PROC2( rc in out sys_refcursor ) is
FETCH_LIMIT constant integer := 100;
type TFetchBuffer is table of test_table2%RowType;
buffer TFetchBuffer;
begin
loop
fetch rc bulk collect into buffer limit FETCH_LIMIT;
forall i in 1..buffer.Count
insert into test_table2(
c1, c2
) values(
buffer(i).c1, buffer(i).c2
exit when rc%NotFound;
end loop;
end;
Is there a way to call a PL/SQL Stored Procedure that returns a REFCURSOR using ODI Procedure?
Thanks,
Cathy

Thanks for the reply actdi.
The procedure TEST_PROC1 is just a sample procedure. The requirement is that I need to call a stored procedure that returns a cursor using ODI and fetch the data and insert into a table, which in this case is test_table2.
I was able to execute a simple SQL procedure (without cursor) using ODI procedure. But when i try to execute the SQL procedure with cursor in ODI, I encountered error.
Do you have any idea how to do this?

HOW TO EXECUTE A STORE PROCEDURE THAT RETURN MULTIPLE ROWS FROM A QUERY

I NEED TO CREATE AND USE A STORE PROCEDURE THAT IS GOING TO DO A SELECT STATEMENT AN THE RESULT OF THE SELECT STATEMENT IS RETURN IN SOME WAY TO THE REQUESTER.
THIS CALL IS MADE BY AN EXTERNAL LANGUAGE, NOT PL/SQL OR FORMS APPLICATION. USING FOR EXAMPLE ODBC AND VISUAL BASIC. WHAT I NEED TO DO IS ADD A DATA ACCESS LAYER TO MY APPLICATION AND I ALREADY HAVE IT DONE FOR MS SQL SERVER, BUT I NEED THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY ACCESSING AN ORACLE DATABASE.
FLOW:
1. VB CREATE A ODBC CONNECTION TO A ORACLE DATABASE
2. VB EXECUTE A STORE PROCEDURE
3. THE STORE PROCEDURE RETURNS TO THE VB APPLICATION THE RESULT OF THE QUERY THAT IS INSIDE OF THE STORE PROCEDURE.(I.E. THE STORE PROCEDURE IS A BASIC SELECT, NOTHING COMPLEX)
4. VB DISPLAY THE RESULT IN A GRID
FOR SURE I CAN DO THE SELECT DIRECTLY TO ORACLE, BUT FOR PERFORMANCE REASONS AND SCALABILITY, I'LL LIKE IT TO DO IT USING A STORE PROCUDURES
IS THIS POSIBLE?, HOW?
THANKS

Certainly, it's possible. First, define a stored procedure that includes an OUT parameter which is a REF CURSOR. Then, call the stored procedure via ODBC omitting the OUT parameter from the list of parameters. IT will automatically be returned as a result set. Syntax for both is below...
CREATE PROCEDURE foo (inParam in varchar2, resultSet OUT REF CURSOR )
In ODBC:
{call foo( 'someData' )}

Stored procedure that returns multiple tables

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there's a way to write a stored procedure that returns multiple result set as in sql server. for example, in sql server, you can write 2 select statements and when loading them in c#, u can get two data tables.
I am not sure having a single ref cursor for each select is the only solution. I might need to return a variable number of tables per procedure call (based on a certain criteria).
Any ideas?
thanks for your time

Sure. Ref cursor is the only easier answer for your problem.

Calling a procedure that returns a cursor inside a procedure

Hi,
I have two stored procedures. They both return a cursor as output variables. On the other hand I have another stored procedure that calls these procedures and return their results again an output variable. I know that this seems quite odd to be wanting to do something like this but how can I do that?

You can make the hack generic. Make it execute any SQL as that schema that creates the ref cursor. E.g.
// as schema BILLY, open a huge security hole and grant access to USER1
SQL> create or replace procedure GetTableData( tableName varchar2, refCur out sys_refcursor ) authid definer is
2          dynamicSQL      varchar2(32767);
3 begin
4          dynamicSQL := 'select * from '||tableName;
5          open refCur for dynamicSQL;
6 end;
7 /
Procedure created.
SQL>
SQL>
SQL> grant execute on GetTableData to USER1;
Grant succeeded.As USER1, you can now execute SQL (and even PL/SQL) as BILLY:
SQL> create or replace type TStrings is table of varchar2(4000);
2 /
Type created.
SQL> grant execute on TStrings to BILLY;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> --// execute this as the caller (which will be BILLY.GetTableData)
SQL> create or replace procedure ExecSQL( hackSQL varchar2 ) authid current_user is
2          pragma autonomous_transaction;
3 begin
4          execute immediate hackSQL;
5          commit;
6 end;
7 /
Procedure created.
SQL> --// wrap the above into something that BILLY.GetData can execute as a ref cursor
SQL> --// and return a meaningful message as to how successful the hack was
SQL> create or replace function PipeLineHack( hackSQL varchar2 ) return TStrings authid current_user pipelined is
2 begin
3          ExecSQL( hackSQL );
4          pipe row( 'SQL hack successful' );
5 exception when OTHERS then
6          pipe row( 'SQL hack faled with '||SQLERRM(SQLCODE) );
7 end;

Testing procedure that returns cursor.

Please
How Can I test a procedure that returns a cursor? I need to execute it on sqlplus.
Thank you very much

Hi,
Example using HR schema:
The proc_cursor procedure returns a cursor and the block below test it
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
    TYPE t_ref_cur IS REF CURSOR;
    v_cursor   t_ref_cur;
    v_employee employees%ROWTYPE;
    PROCEDURE proc_cursor(p_cursor OUT t_ref_cur) IS
        v_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
    BEGIN
        v_sql := 'SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES';
        OPEN p_cursor FOR v_sql;
    END;
BEGIN
    proc_cursor(p_cursor => v_cursor);
    LOOP
        FETCH v_cursor
            INTO v_employee;
        EXIT WHEN v_cursor%NOTFOUND;
        dbms_output.put_line(v_employee.employee_id);
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE v_cursor;
END;

Sort/filter datablock based on procedure that return table type

Hi All,
I’ve got datablock based on procedure that return table type. In the form I have to provide ‘filter and sort records’ functionality. Previously, using tables/views based datablocks, I’ve done that by using:
-- filter
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY (L_BLOCK_NAME, DEFAULT_WHERE, L_WHERE_CLAUSE);
-- sort
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(L_BLOCK_NAME ,ORDER_BY, L_ORDER_BY_CLAUSE);
-- and then
EXECUTE_QUERY;
It doesn’t work with procedure that return table type. How I can do that?
Bartek

I agree with Andreas, from the sample you have given us, I don't see any reason why you could not merge these queries into a single UNION/UNION ALL query. Also, I would add your summation query to your main query to eliminate this extra step. The result would look something like:
SELECT DISTINCT
     pih.id
     ,d.document_id
     ,pih.doc_serial_no
     ,pih.purch_invoice_date
     ,oh.company_name
     ,(SELECT NVL(SUM(amount),0)
          FROM "YOUR TABLE HERE" yth
          WHERE yth."YOUR COLUMN HERE" = pih.id) AS sum_amount
FROM "YOUR TABLES HERE"
WHERE "YOUR JOIN CONDITIONS HERE"
UNION ALL
SELECT DISTINCT
     sih.id
     ,d.document_ind
     ,sih.doc_serial_no
     ,sih.sales_invoice_date
     ,sih.company_name
     ,(SELECT NVL(SUM(amount),0)
          FROM "YOUR TABLE HERE" yth
          WHERE yth."YOUR COLUMN HERE" = sih.id) AS sum_amount
FROM "YOUR TABLES HERE"
WHERE "YOUR JOIN CONDITIONS HERE"
[/code]
Hope this helps.

It appears the CODE tags are not working as well as the URL tags. :(

Function calling stored procedure that returns a cursor into a LOV

Hello,
Is it possible in HTML DB to implement a process that has a function that calls a stored procedure that returns a cursor, used to then populate a select list?
Or can I do a function call to a stored procedure in the 'List of values definition' box for the item itself that returns a cursor to populate the item's select list?

Hi Vikas,
Actually, I just found another posting that shows how to do what I'm looking for:
Re: Filling a LOV with a cursor
Check it out. I posted another question in response to that discussion...maybe you could answer that? Thanks!
