Using Ref cursor in Procedure.

Hi All,
Can i use a single ref cursor multple times within the life cycle of a procedure.
Thanks,
Dillip

Yes.
See the example here. A cursor expression is selected - repeatedly, within a loop - into emp_cur (which is of type REF CURSOR) - and emp_cur is then used to process it in a nested loop.
(By the way - this question would be better asked in the PL/SQL).

Using Ref cursor from Procedure output in BPEL

Hi
Can any body help me ..
The output variable of db adapter is refcursor from stored procedure. in ref cursor i will get xml from a clob variable. how to use it in bpel...can an body help me how to do it....

APEX is based on Oracle Database. Whatever you can do with PL/SQL, the same can be done with APEX also. APEX stores the application definition in the form of metadata.
So if you put all your logic and code in packages, procedures or functions then it will be really good compact and modular approach.
Bottom line is that you can do all of those.
Check the documentation at

Using Ref Cursor in procedure in place of normal cursor

Hi,
I have a procedure where i have the follwoing cursors declared,
CURSOR c_wip IS
SELECT tdvalue
FROM tabledetails
WHERE tdidcode = 'PEL_DASHBOARD'
AND tdkey LIKE 'WIP_QUEUES%';
CURSOR c_pending IS
SELECT tdvalue
FROM tabledetails
WHERE tdidcode = 'PEL_DASHBOARD'
AND tdkey LIKE 'PENDING_QUEUES%';
CURSOR c_out IS
SELECT tdvalue
FROM tabledetails
WHERE tdidcode = 'PEL_DASHBOARD'
AND tdkey LIKE 'OUT_QUEUES%';
CURSOR c_out_status IS
SELECT tdvalue
FROM tabledetails
WHERE tdidcode = 'PEL_DASHBOARD'
AND tdkey LIKE 'OUT_STATUS%';
Will the usage of 1 ref cursor instead of the 4 cursors increase the performance.
Thanks.

Cursor is a structure which points to a memory locations.
While a Ref-cursor is a datastructure which point to a object which inturn points to Memory locations.
The advantage of having Ref-cursor is that we can pass dynamically the Ref-cursor as a parameter to a procedures.
So it does improve the performance to a small extent.

Problem in using ref cursor

I have a procedure which is using one ref cursor as OUT paramater. Now when I call this procedure, it gives me the following error:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected CURSER got NUMBER
ORA-06512: at "APPS.ORDER_RETURN1", line 8
ORA-06512: at "APPS.ORDER_RETURN2", line 4
ORA-06512: at line 1
Below is my code
PROCEDURE ORDER_RETURN1(p_order OUT sys_refcursor) IS
TYPE OE_ORDER_rcur IS REF CURSOR;
rcur OE_ORDER_rcur;
BEGIN
OPEN rcur FOR
SELECT ORDER_NUMBER FROM OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL WHERE ROWNUM < 4;
FETCH rcur INTO p_order;
CLOSE rcur;
END ORDER_RETURN1;
PROCEDURE ORDER_RETURN2 IS
OE_ORDER_rcur11 sys_refcursor;
BEGIN
ORDER_RETURN1(OE_ORDER_rcur11);
end;
I tried to call proc ORDER_RETURN1 with the help of proc ORDER_RETURN2, but no change, it gives me same error if i call the first proc ORDER_RETURN1 or i call ORDER_RETURN2.
I am stuck with this problem, I had used ref cursor in procedure but not able to call the procedure which uses ref cursor as OUT parameter.
Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks

Call procedure that uses REF CURSOR?

Can someone tell me how to call a procedure that uses a REF CURSOR?
Procedure is something like this:
PROCEDURE my_proc
P_PROG_ID IN VARCHAR2,
P_CRITERIA IN VARCHAR2,
P_TASKCURSOR OUT MYREFCUR
IS
blah, blah blah
I tried this to call the procedure:
exec my_proc(variable1,variable2,variable3)
but I don't know how to define variable3.
Can someone help me out?

Based on the parameters for the procedure, it looks like you have a cursor (myrefcursor) defined in a package somewhere. So, in sqlplus, you would need to do it in an anonymous block, something like:
DECLARE
   l_cur package_name,myrefcur;
   variables to hold cursor fields
BEGIN
   my_proc('ID', 'Criteria', l_cur);
   LOOP
      FETCH l_cur INTO variables to hold cursor fields
      EXIT WHEN l_cur%NOTFOUND;
      Do something with variables
   END LOOP;
   CLOSE l_cur;
END;If you are on Oracle 9 or higher, assuming that myrefcursor is weakly typed,
you could change the definition of the procedure to:
PROCEDURE my_proc (p_prog_id    IN VARCHAR2,
                   p_criteria   IN VARCHAR2,
                   P_TASKCURSOR OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)then you could call it in sql plus like:
-- Define the variables
var var1 VARCHAR2(100);
var var2 VARCHAR2(100);
var cur SYS_REFCURSOR;
-- Assign Vlaues to the IN parameters
EXEC :var1 := 'ID'; :var2 := 'Criteria';
EXEC my_proc(:var1, :var2, :cur);
-- See the contents of the cursor
print curHTH

Procedure to fetch table records using ref cursor

Hi
i need to fetch all the records in the table using ref cursor.we need to pass table
name and the out paramater should be ref cursor.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE gettable(p_table_name IN VARCHAR2,
p_ref_cursor OUT dept_pack.ref_cursor1)
IS
BEGIN
OPEN p_ref_cursor FOR SELECT * FROM p_table_name;
END gettable;
is that a start ? then after this i have to execute this procedure to fetch the data from table. i am getting error that table doesnot exist but my idea was to pass p_table_name as IN parameter.
Thnks in Advance

here is the example
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST( t_name IN VARCHAR2

How to update data returned using REF CURSOR

Hi all,
I am trying to update updated data in a gridview but the update button seem to do nothing as i retrieve data using REF CURSOR.
Let me describe the architecture of my application first. I'm trying to implement best practice whenever possible. I am following the data access tutorial published in www.asp.net , the only difference is that i have an Oracle (10g) database. So I split my application into three layers, data access, business logic, and presentation layer. I'm also writing all queries in an Oracle package.
So I have my Oracle packages that perform CRUD operations. Then I have an xsd file that define dataTable based on the package procedure. My business logic layer then calls functions defined in the xsd file. And finally a detailsView control that uses an ObjectDataSource to call business logic functions.
In a nutshell, I am just trying to update records retrieved using REF CURSOR. Your help is very much appreciated. Please let me know if further details are required. Cheers,

In the DataSet (xsd) where your DataTable is defined, you just need to add additional methods to the TableAdapter to handle insert, update and delete, either with SQL or by mapping to stored procedures.
Alternatively in code, create an OracleDataAdapter and supply its InsertCommand, UpdateCommand and DeleteCommand.

Using Ref Cursors as region source

Is it possible to use a function that returns a ref cursor as a region's source? I asked this question at the end of another thread and got no response so I made this new thread.
I created an application called 'ref cursor' on apex.oracle.com at
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=4550
Workspace : wc_jason
username: dev
password: password
There is a table named TBL and a function returning a ref cursor name FNC. On the home page there are three regions, one using a sql statement, one using a pl/sql function returning a sql statement, and one that attempts to use a ref cursor. The ref cursor region's condition is set to NEVER because I couldn't get it to work and I wanted to show the page with the two working regions.
Can I even use a ref cursor in this manor?
Thanks for the help.

Heres a quick example I did for you:
create or replace package pkg_refcursordemo
as
type rc_generic is ref cursor;
rec_emp emp%rowtype;
type tab_emp is table of emp%rowtype;
procedure proc_get_emp (
pi_ename in emp.ename%type
,pio_emp_rc in out rc_generic
function func_get_emp (
pi_ename in emp.ename%type
return tab_emp pipelined;
end pkg_refcursordemo;
create or replace package body pkg_refcursordemo
as
-- Procedure with in out ref cursor parameter

end proc_get_emp;
-- Wrapper pipelined function
function func_get_emp (

return tab_emp pipelined
is
l_rc_generic rc_generic;
l_rec_emp emp%rowtype;
begin
proc_get_emp (
pi_ename => pi_ename
,pio_emp_rc => l_rc_generic
loop
fetch l_rc_generic into l_rec_emp;
exit when l_rc_generic%notfound;
pipe row ( l_rec_emp );
end loop;
close l_rc_generic;
return;
end func_get_emp;
end pkg_refcursordemo;
create or replace view vw_emp
as
select empno

Whats cool is you can declare the view with an APEX variable in it e.g.
create or replace view vw_emp
as
select empno
, ename
, job
, mgr
, hiredate
, sal
, comm
, deptno
from table ( pkg_refcursordemo.func_get_emp( v('P1_ENAME_PARAM' ) )

Now my requirement is:
I have a form with Student_record data block. When i Click on print Button on this form. It will open another window which has Student_CSV_HELP.DESC_NAME and a check box before this.
The window look like as below:
check_box       DESC_NAME+
X                   S_ID+
--                   S_Name+
X                   S_Join_date+
X                   S_Address+
--                  S_Fee+
X means check box checked.+
-- means check box Unchecked.+
After i selected these check boxes i will send 2 parameters to the report server
1. a string parameter to the report server which has the value 'S_ID,S_Join_date,S_Address' (p_column_name := 'S_ID,S_Join_date,S_Address');
2. the s_id value from the student_record block (p_S_id := '101');
Now my requirement is when i click on run. I need a report like as below:
Student ID : 101+
Joining Date : 12/17/2009 08:00:00+
Address : CA-94777+
This is nothing but the ref cursor should run like as below:
Select S_id from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
Select S_Join_date from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
Select S_Address from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
So, according to my understanding i have to select the columns at the run time. I dont have much knowledge in creating reports using ref cursor or dynamic sql.
So please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Plain sql should satisfy your need. Try ....
Select S_id, S_Join_date, S_Address
from student_record
where S_id = :p_S_id

Cursors are not closed when using Ref Cursor Query in a report ORA-01000

Dear Experts
Oracel database 11g,
developer suite 10.1.2.0.2,
application server 10.1.2.0.2,
Windows xp platform
For a long time, I'm hitting ORA-01000
I have a 2 group report (master and detail) using Ref Cusor query, when this report is run, I found that it opens several cursors (should be only one cursor) for the detail query although it should not, I found that the number of these cursors is equal to the number of master records.
Moreover, after the report is finished, these cursors are not closed, and they are increasing cumulatively each time I run the report, and finally the maximum number of open cursors is exceeded, and thus I get ORA-01000.
I increased the open cursors parameter for the database to an unbeleivable value 30000, but of course it will be exceeded during the session because the cursors are increasing cumulatively.
I Found that this problem is solved when using only one master Ref Cursor Query and create a breake group, the problem is solved also if we use SQL Query instead of Ref Query for the master and detail queries, but for some considerations, I should not use neither breake group nor SQL Query, I have to use REF Cursor queries.
Is this an oracle bug , and how can I overcome ?
Thanks

Thank you Inol for your answer, However
Ref Cursor give me felxibility to control the query, for example see the following query :
function QR_1RefCurDS return DEF_CURSORS.JOURHEAD_REFCUR is
temp_JOURHEAD DEF_CURSORS.JOURHEAD_refcur;

          v_to_date DATE;

Using ref cursor in after parameter form in reports

hi everyone,
I have problem in usage of ref cursor in after parameter form. My actual requirement is I have user parameter :p_minval, :p_maxval. The values into these user parameters will be coming dynamically using sql_statement as shown below
select min(empid),max(empid) into :p_minval, :p_maxval from emp where empid in (:p_emp);
I will be writing this query in the after parameter form
:p_emp is a lexical parameter as per me but the after parameter form is taking it as a bind variable. so I decided to define a ref cursor and then use it for retrieve. But when I use ref cursor it is returning pl/sql error 591 saying that this is not supported by client side can anyone help me plz..
The following is the code i tried to use in after parameter form
function afterPform return boolean is
type rc is ref cursor;
l_rc rc;
sqlstmt varchar2(512);
begin
sqlstmt:='select min(empid),max(empid) from emp where empid in ('||:p_emp||')';
open l_rc for
select max(empid) from emp where empid in ('||:p_emp||')';
fetch l_rc into :p_maxval;
close l_rc;
return(true);
end;
thanks & regards
venkat
