Using ODBC through a stored procedure

Is it possible to access an ODBC data source (ie. Access) through a PL/SQL stored procedure? Any syntax would be greatly helpful.
Thanks,
Jeff

I've never seen anyone do this, and I cannot envision a way that makes it possible. You'd have to have an ODBC driver for access living on the database machine.
That said, you might take a look at the Transparent Gateways and/or Generic Connectivity products Oracle puts out. They let you link non-Oracle tables from Oracle. I'm not sure that Access is one of the databases we can link to, however.

Issue with sending mail through java stored procedure in Oracle

Hello
I am using Oracle 9i DB. I created a java stored procedure to send mail using the code given below. The java class works fine standalone. When its run from Java, mail is sent as desired. But when the java stored procedure is called from pl/sql "Must issue a STARTTLS command first" error is thrown. Please let me know if am missing something.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. Actually I have seen that post before creating this thread. I thought that I could make use of java mail to work around this problem. I created a java class that succesfully sends mail to SSL host. I tried to call this java class from pl-sql through java stored procedure. That did not work
So, is this not supported in Oracle ? Please note that I have tested this in both 9i and 11g , in both the versions I got the error. You can refer to the code in the above post.
Thanks

Java App connection to an Oracle Database through Oracle Stored Procedure

My team's access to its Databases (Oracle only) is restricted to access through Oracle Stored Procedures that are part of the Oracle Database. So, in my Java App I need to call the Stored Procedure that will give me the access to the table that I need, declare the right parameters and execute the command. The Stored Procedure will then hand me the data I need.
I am finding support on the web for creating Stored Procedures in Java, but that is not what I need.
Can anyone post here a class that addresses this, or point me to a link that will shed some light on it?
Thanks

I am looking for Java code that will do what this .NET code below does (connects to a database and writes data to the table through an Oracle stored procedure that is part of the Oracle Database.)
So learn Java, learn JDBC and translate the requirements; don't attempt to translate the code as the platforms are too different.
From a quick glance it looks like a JDBC CallableStatement can do the job.

Creating Sap Crystal Report Through Oracle Stored Procedure Packages

Hi,
1.How we can create crystal report through oracle stored
procedure packages pls tell me the steps through adding command then
tell me the syntax what should i write in command to call the stored
procedure packages or if have some other option then also tell.
2.can
we link stored procedure column to other table column that used in
report.

Hi Ganesh,
As this error comes when you are trying to insert non-numeric value into a numeric column in db it seems that your field might be numeric and you are trying to send it as a string in database.
Please check your Store Proc carefully..

Using Copy statement in Stored procedure

The following statement works in sqlplus session:
copy from comment/password@servername append amcomment_temp using
select * from amcomment
where commentid in(1,2,3,4)
I want to use this in a stored procedure. There is a long datatype in this table. The
procedure will not compile. Have tried execute immediate and compiler rejects this statement also.

'COPY' is a SQL*Plus command, not PL/SQL. This is why the PL/SQL compiler throws it out.

Using VIEW inside a stored procedure

Hi,
So I have a View designed in one file that validates someone who is authorized.
Then I have a stored procedure to display authorized stationeries created before a given date. Its takes a parameter @CreatedOn.
How can I use VIEW in my stored procedure so I can display all the authorized which are set 1 before a given date?
My VIEW:
ALTER VIEW vw_AuthorizedStationeries AS
SELECT Authorized
FROM dbo.Stationeries
WHERE Authorized = 1
And my stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_stationeries (@CreatedOn datetime)ASBEGINSELECTFROMENDGO
Thanks!

Try something like below, You need to replace CreatedDate column with appropriate date column in your table.
1. Alter the view to get the required date:
ALTER VIEW vw_AuthorizedStationeries AS
SELECT Authorized, CreatedDate
FROM dbo.Stationeries
WHERE Authorized = 1
2. Alter SP:
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_stationeries (@CreatedOn datetime)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT Authorized
FROM vw_AuthorizedStationeries
WHERE CreatedDate <= @CreatedOn
END
GO
OR
You can pull required information directly from your table:
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_stationeries (@CreatedOn datetime)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT Authorized
FROM dbo.Stationeries
WHERE CreatedDate <= @CreatedOn and Authorized = 1
END
GO

Using temporary tables in stored procedures

Suppose that I have created a temporary table in a stored procedure using an "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE" statement. When I compile the procedure, that table is not created yet, so the compiler says that the table does not exist.
What is the way of using temporary tables in stored procedures?

It's a good practice to avoid using DDL statements being executed from stored procedures. "Truncate Table" via dynamic SQL from stored procedure is a different story and is useful in DSS environments.
But if you insist on "creating" tables using Dynamic SQL from Stored Procedures then you must also embed your DML statements in Dynamic SQL to avoid compilation errors.
Example:
Create or Replace Procedure Proc_TestDynamicSQL is
Begin
Execute Immediate 'Create table myTable as select * from user_tables' ;
Execute Immediate 'Update myTable set table_name = ''Test'' ' ; --two single quotes before and after the string "Test"
End;
In this case, Oracle wouldn't care about the table references during compilation.

Can rs.last() be used after calling the stored procedure?

Can rs.last() be used after calling the stored procedure? If yes what should be the CURSOR types?

Can rs.last() be used after calling the stored
procedure? If yes what should be the CURSOR types?That would depend on the driver/database.
And as I said in your other post it is far more efficient to count records by just returning a count rather than a complete collection regardless of how you get to the end.

If you have configured webutil without any problems then i presume you have configured jacob.jar file too for Client_ole2 to function properly you need to have jacob.jar and jacob.dll files.
There are so many topics in this forum for Client_Ole2. Just simply search. :)

Use database inside a stored procedure

Hi guys, a stupid question: I'm working with several database and sometimes I'm afraid to run an alter or a create something in the wrong database, bear in mind that several database have the same tables. Sometime happens to run a query oin the db A
instead in the db B. So, the question: If I create a procedure like this,
create procedure creatingPillar as
use USA
begin
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id =
OBJECT_ID(N'pillarretail') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE PillarRetail
create table PillarRetail (anid int , ancore varchar(20), period dec(18,6), settlem datetime2,
settlementper int, asf dec(18,6),astlf dec (18,6), tot dec (18,6) )
insert into PillarRetail select anid, ancore, Period, settlem, settlementper,
asf, astlf, tot from createsemipillar2011
insert into PillarRetail select select anid, ancore, Period, settlem, settlementper,
asf, astlf, tot createsemipillar
end
but I'm wondering if is useless to put the use USA in the stored procedure by the moment that I'm creating the procedure in USA. I mean, having the SP in the USA db even if I run the procedure from another db it should run in USA. Just a stupid question
I know but I got this doubt...
Thanks

You may try as below:
create proc as below: (This will create the proc in USA database.
use USA
Go
create procedure dbo.creatingPillar as
begin
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id =
OBJECT_ID(N'pillarretail') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE PillarRetail
create table PillarRetail (anid int , ancore varchar(20), period dec(18,6), settlem datetime2,
settlementper int, asf dec(18,6),astlf dec (18,6), tot dec (18,6) )
insert into PillarRetail select anid, ancore, Period, settlem, settlementper,
asf, astlf, tot from createsemipillar2011
insert into PillarRetail select select anid, ancore, Period, settlem, settlementper,
asf, astlf, tot createsemipillar
end
Then you can call as below:
Exec USA.dbo.creatingPillar

Hi,
Try with OpenDoc syntax as follows.

where
server name: cms server name
port: portno
<platformspecific>=: for java -> openDocument.jsp
for .net -> opendocument.aspx
idocid,sDocName & cuid -> we can get report properties ( goto info view -> select report -> right click -> properties i.e. doc id, cuid and report name)
sType -> type of report i.e webi or deski ...
lsS -> to pass single prompt value
lsM -> to pass multiplle values to prompt
lsR -> range of values ....
Note: Here prompt name should be same as the one which we used in the report. Use + if there is blank space.

ODBC failure with stored procedure

Procedure runs without error when started from term window. Procedure will run from access using pass through query (module) iff one of the queries is commented out. If the query is present, I receive an ODBC failure on the record insert. It acts like a timing problem but I can't find the place to set it.
ANY help appreciated.

I'm assuming that your error is:

ORA-06512: at "HQADM.MARS_BIGSUM_PROCEDURE", line 87

(1013)
although I'm not sure whether the earlier error
Newmars ea-fa     EXIT SQLExecDirectW with return code -1 (SQL_ERROR)
          HSTMT 09DD17D0
          WCHAR * 0x1B0741C8 [      -3] "SELECT Config, nValue FROM MSysConf\ 0"
          SDWORD -3
          DIAG [S0002] [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
(942)
is important.
For the timeout error, the most likely problem is that Access is putting a timeout on the call, and requesting that the driver cancel the query if it takes too long. Ideally, you'd be able to adjust the timeout parameter in Access, but I'm not aware of a way to do that. You can disable query timeout at the DSN level, though, there's a checkbox in the configuration screen for the DSN. This will disable query timeout for every application that uses the DSN, though.
For the table not found error, that's indicating that there's no table named MSysConf in whatever schema you're connected to.

Hi,
you could use Dynamic SQL /Execute immediate to run DDL from a stored procedure.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96624/11_dynam.htm
Could you please tell why do you want to create a materialized view in stored procedure ?
How frequently you will runt this procedure . It would is better to create a MV once and use it.
thanks
