Using stored procedures that take parameters

I'm trying to invoke (MSSQL) stored procedures from Visual Composer. I've got the tool to see the procedures, but when the data service definition is created, there are no inputs, even though the procedures take parameters. When I run the Test Data Service wizard and press execute, I get an error saying a parameter wasn't provided. The input area on the left of the wizard window shows no input parameters and if I click the add button, I get nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

Hi
I think you should check the stored procedure. If the stored procedure defines the input parameters correctly or not.

How to write call specs for a java stored procedure that takes a nested obj

Example Class :
public class B {
int number;
String str;
public class A {
private B[] _childern;
public B[] getChildern(){
return _children
public static void saveAll(A a) throws SQLException {
B[] children = a.getChildern();
for(int i=0; i<children.length; i++){
saveChild(children);
public static void saveChild(B ch)throws SQLException {
// do something
What would be the call specification for the method A.saveAll(A)? Your help will be apprecited.
Thank you

In other words, How to pass a Java Object from a Java stored procedure to a Java client ???
Hello,
I don't know to deal with a Vector object that has been generated from a stored procedure.
Should I create first in the JDBC client and pass it as argument to the procedure ?
Thanks in advance. Here is an extract ...
On the client side :
<<
Vector buffer = new Vector();
CallableStatement call =
con.prepareCall ("{call my_procedure_run (?, ?)}");
call.registerOutParameter(2, java.sql.Types.JAVA_OBJECT );
call.setString (1, "bla bla bla");
call.setObject (2, buffer);
call.execute ();
buffer = (Vector)call.getObject (2);
>On the Java stored procedure
<<
public class my_procedure
public static void Run(String input_value, Vector buffer)
// ??? Vector buffer = new Vector();
try
while ( true )
buffer.addElement(...) ;
catch(Exception ex) { }

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

OData Service Operation:

// This method is called only once to initialize service-wide policies.
public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config)

public IQueryable<GetWorkOrdersByWindfarmId_Result> GetWorkOrdersByWindfarmId(int WindfarmId)
return this.CurrentDataSource.GetWorkOrdersByWindfarmId(WindfarmId).AsQueryable();
[WebGet]
public void CreateWorkOrder(int WindfarmId)
this.CurrentDataSource.CreateWorkOrder(WindfarmId);
Here is the stored procedure:
procedure GetWorkOrdersByWindFarmId(WINDFARMID IN NUMBER,
P_RESULTS OUT REF_CUR) is
begin
OPEN P_RESULTS FOR
select WINDFARM_ID,
STARTTIME,
ENDTIME,
TURBINE_NUMBER,
NOTES,
TECHNICIAN_NAME
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.

When to use stored procedures

We have a Java application for which the performance is very slow. For example, one particular screen takes 16 seconds to display. When we watch the Oracle database, we find that the application is issuing 23 separate queries to populate the screen (one query per display row). This screen could grow to need more rows in which case the application has been written to issue separate queries against the database for each. What is appropriate way for the application to obtain this data? We have written a stored procedure that takes .4 seconds to provide this data. When is a stored procedure appropriate? Are there any documents regarding best practices on this issue?

Just out of interest, why avoid stored procedures at
all costs? Are you joking, or is there a valid
reason? Stored procedures are in general faster than
using Statements.One reason would be because it limits the database portability, since not all databases support them.
This is generally only a concern when writing product software for smaller companiers. Larger companies will use databases that support stored procs and are much less likely to want to migrate. And are much more likely to have DBAs who will insist on it as well.

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..:-)

How to call a stored procedure that use a type defined in a package?

Hi all,
this is stored procedure:
GET_GIORNATAEVENTO( in_nome_servizio IN VARCHAR2,
out_dati_aggiornati OUT TAB_VARCHAR2);
TAB VARCHAR2 is defined in the package specification:
TYPE tab_varchar2 IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(5) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
and this is the name of the package: PKG_SERVIZI_MMSPUSH.
This is my php script:
<?php
// Connect to database...
$c=OCILogon("venus_vfl", "venus_vfl", "venvi");
if ( ! $c ) {
echo "Connessione non riuscita: " . var_dump( OCIError() );
die();
echo "<br>PKG_SERVIZI_MMSPUSH.GET_GIORNATAEVENTO</br> ";
echo "<br> </br>";
// Call database procedure...
$in_servizio = "MOTO";
$s = OCIParse($c, "begin PKG_SERVIZI_MMSPUSH.GET_GIORNATAEVENTO(:bind1, :bind2); end;");
OCIBindByName($s, ":bind1", $in_servizio);
OCIBindByName($s, ":bind2", $out_esito);
OCIExecute($s,OCI_DEFAULT);
echo "OUT_DATI_AGGIORNATI= " . $out_esito;
// Logoff from Oracle
OCILogoff($c);
?>
How to test stored procedure to get the output parameter?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
but I need to test stored procedures that uses type defined in the package.
e.g.
if I have s.p.
PROCEDURE get_risultati_squadra
( in_squadra IN VARCHAR2,
out_serie OUT tab_varchar2_5,
out_tiporisultato OUT tab_varchar2_5,
out_n_giornata OUT tab_varchar2_5,
out_squadre OUT tab_varchar2_200,
out_risultato OUT tab_varchar2_10,
out_marcatore OUT tab_varchar2_50,
out_punti OUT tab_varchar2_3,
out_rimbalzista OUT tab_varchar2_50,
out_rimbalzi OUT tab_varchar2_3,
out_esito OUT tab_varchar2_2);
I have to define every type external to the package, in this case five new TYPE !!
Is there another way to solve this problem?
Thanks

The table I use is a Global temp table.
This runs just fine in oracle but when I try to build a data foundation in Business Objects I get the error that says you cannot insert/update/delete in a READ ONLY Transaction.
I really need some advice on what to do since I really dont have access to a scheduled script and table that would store my data ahead of time.

Well, AFAIK, BO is a reporting tool, so it si read-only by nature. I do not know if it possible to "tell" BO table is GTT and it is OK to write to it. You need to post this in BO forum.

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?

SQL stored procedure execution takes 5x as long using PS 3.0

I have a stored procedure that populates some reporting table, does not return any results, and is very expensive. However it completes in 5 minutes when executed using SSMS. When the same stored procedure is executed though PS 3.0 it runs in
almost 25 minutes. The condensed code is shown below. The $Connection is defined elsewhere and is already open at this point.
$Command = New-Object Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand
$Command.CommandTimeout = 600
$Command.CommandText = "dbo.usp_extract_exact_target_user @in_all_flg = 1"
$Command.Connection = $Connection
$Command.ExecuteNonQuery()
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong, or what could be causing the 5x execution times?
Thanks in advance for help; you can offer.

Not Powershell. Powershell does nothing but hand the command to the database server.
Why are you using OldDB? You should be using the SQLClient.
system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection
system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand
Everything else should be the same.
You should also prep and bind your arguments.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Calling a Stored Procedure with output parameters from Query Templates

This is same problem which Shalaka Khandekar logged earlier. This new thread gives the complete description about our problem. Please go through this problem and suggest us a feasible solution.
We encountered a problem while calling a stored procedure from MII Query Template as follows-
1. Stored Procedure is defined in a package. Procedure takes the below inputs and outputs.
a) Input1 - CLOB
b) Input2 - CLOB
c) Input3 - CLOB
d) Output1 - CLOB
e) Output2 - CLOB
f) Output3 - Varchar2
2. There are two ways to get the output back.
a) Using a Stored Procedure by declaring necessary OUT parameters.
b) Using a Function which returns a single value.
3. Consider we are using method 2-a. To call a Stored Procedure with OUT parameters from the Query Template we need to declare variables of
corresponding types and pass them to the Stored Procedure along with the necessary input parameters.
4. This method is not a solution to get output because we cannot declare variables of some type(CLOB, Varchar2) in Query Template.
5. Even though we are successful (step 4) in declaring the OUT variables in Query Template and passed it successfully to the procedure, but our procedure contains outputs which are of type CLOB. It means we are going to get data which is more than VARCHAR2 length which query template cannot return(Limit is 32767
characters)
6. So the method 2-a is ruled out.
7. Now consider method 2-b. Function returns only one value, but we have 3 different OUT values. Assume that we have appended them using a separator. This value is going to be more than 32767 characters which is again a problem with the query template(refer to point 5). So option 2-b is also ruled out.
Apart from above mentioned methods there is a work around. It is to create a temporary table in the database with above 3 OUT parameters along with a session specific column. We insert the output which we got from the procedure to the temporary table and use it further. As soon the usage of the data is completed we delete the current session specific data. So indirectly we call the table as a Session Table. This solution increases unnecessary load on the database.
Thanks in Advance.

Rajesh,
please check if this following proposal could serve you.
Define the Query with mode FixedQueryWithOutput. In the package define a ref cursor as IN OUT parameter. To get your 3 values back, open the cursor in your procedure like "Select val1, val2, val3 from dual". Then the values should get into your query.
Here is an example how this could be defined.
Package:
type return_cur IS ref CURSOR;
Procedure:
PROCEDURE myProc(myReturnCur IN OUT return_cur) ...
OPEN myReturnCur FOR SELECT val1, val2, val3 FROM dual;
Query:
DECLARE
MYRETURNCUR myPackage.return_cur;
BEGIN
myPackage.myProc(
MYRETURNCUR => ?
END;
Good luck.

Inserting data using stored procedure

Using SQL Server Express 2014, I'm creating a stored procedure to accept parameters and convert data from a staging table to a production table. The parameters specify the table names and a field to lookup in another table. This is the first stored procedure
I've tried to create by myself though and I'm basing it on a guide. Here's what I've got so far:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[stp_UpdateAggregatePerf]
@prod_tbl NVARCHAR(250), @stg_tbl NVARCHAR(250), @customer NVARCHAR(20)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @p NVARCHAR(250), @s NVARCHAR(250), @c NVARCHAR(20), @cid int, @sql NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @p = @prod_tbl
SET @s = @stg_tbl
SET @c = @customer
SET @cid = 'SELECT [dbo].[Customers].[CustomerID]
FROM dbo.customers
WHERE [dbo].[Customers].[CustomerName] LIKE ' + @c
SET @sql = 'INSERT INTO ' + @prod_tbl + '
SELECT CONVERT (datetime,TimeIndex,103) AS TimeIndex,
CONVERT(decimal(10,3),user_reads,3) AS Reads,
CONVERT(decimal(10,3), user_writes,3) AS Writes,
CONVERT(decimal,10,3),total_transfers,3) AS Total,
CONVERT(decimal(10,3),cp_reads,3) AS CPReads,
SUBSTRING(AggregateName,1,25),
SUBSTRING(ControllerName,1,25),
SUBSTRING(@cid,1,25)
FROM' + @stg_tbl
EXEC sp_executesql @sql
SET @sql = 'DROP TABLE' + @stg_tbl
EXEC sp_executesql @sql
END
So it should accept the parameters, take the customer name parameter and look up the customer ID field from another table to use in the last column, then generate and run the INSERT INTO statement to convert and transfer data, then drop the staging table.
I'm not sure how to go about using the INSERT statement with variables though, or even if I'm concatenating the string together correctly.
Here's my CREATE statements for the tables:
prod table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AggregatePerf](
[AggrPerfID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[AggregateName] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
[TimeIndex] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[Reads] [decimal](10, 3) NOT NULL,
[Writes] [decimal](10, 3) NOT NULL,
[Total] [decimal](10, 3) NOT NULL,
[CPReads] [decimal](10, 3) NOT NULL,
[ControllerName] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
[CustomerID] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_AggregatePerf] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[AggrPerfID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
Staging:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[$tablename] (
[TimeIndex] VARCHAR(100)
, [user_reads] VARCHAR(100)
, [user_writes] VARCHAR(100)
, [cp_reads] VARCHAR(100)
, [total_transfers] VARCHAR(100)
, [AggregateName] VARCHAR(100)
, [ControllerName] VARCHAR(100)
The staging table is generated from PowerShell to import CSVs but I'm past that stage of the project now. I hope you can help me get an understanding here as once I wrap my around one table I can apply the same technique to others.
Thanks in advance
Adam

Why do you provide a tables as a parameters? I think you may avoid using dynamic sql and simple use a static one.
Where do you use @cid
variable?
Static SQL may look like
SELECT @cid=
[dbo].[Customers].[CustomerID]
FROM dbo.customers
WHERE [dbo].[Customers].[CustomerName] LIKE '%'+@c+'%'

URGENT!!! a way to find out if Oracle stored procedures have OUT parameters

I'm having problemes properly creating a string for the prepareCall().
so that i can call up a stored procedure in oracle.
the problem is that some stored procedures have OUT parameters that I have to register, and some stored procedures don't.
how can i find out if a stored procedure has an OUT parameter or not?
So that i can format a string with one less ? for statements that don't,
and one more ? for statements that do have an OUT parameter.
is there such a method as boolean OUTparameterExist();
or i'll take any suggestions.

any other solutions?That was the solution. You don't need to execute any sql statement to get Database Meta Data. You just need a connection, which you use to get the DatabaseMetaData instance
DatabaseMetaData dbmd = connection.getMetaData();then invoke any of the (numerous) methods to get the info you require
ResultSet rs = dbmd.getProcedureColumns("mydb","myschema","myproc",null);
while(rs.next()) {
String name = rs.getString("COLUMN_NAME");
if (rs.getShort("COLUMN_TYPE")==DatabaseMetaData.procedureColumnOut) {
// column is an OUT parameter
}Dave

Can you get values back from a stored procedure via OUTPUT parameters?

Can you get values back from calling a stored procedure via OUTPUT parameters/variables? I call the SP via a SQL statement from a script either in a WF or DF.
I thought I read some reference that DI could not get the values from OUTPUT parameters but I could not find it again (don't know if it is in any of the documentation or referred to in a forum.
I did try a couple of tests but it did not reutrn any values via OUTPUT. But before I give up I thought I'd see if you could and maybe I needed to change something.

This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but I'll point out that, given that you're resorting to a SQL script in the first place, there's no reason you can't also turn the output parameters into a regular result or record set. (The following uses T-SQL, although I think it's pretty generic.)
declare @param1 int, param2 varchar(100), @return int;
exec @return = proc @param1 = @param1 output, @param2 = @param2 output;
select @param1 as param1, @param2 as param2;
That is, to get from output parameters to a "regular" output from the SQL script isn't much of a leap...

Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report using stored procedure ?

Post Author: Shashi Kant
CA Forum: General
Hi all
Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report XI using stored procedure ?
Only i shaw those parameters which i used in my stored procedure, the parameter which i create dynamic using stored procedure
is not shown to me when i referesh the report for viewing the results.
I have used the same procedure which i mention below but can not seen the last screen which is shown in this .
============================================================================================
1. Select View > Field Explorer2. Right-click on Parameter Fields and select New from the right-click menu.3. Enter u201CCustomer Nameu201D as the name for your parameter4. Under u201CList of Valuesu201D select u201CDynamicu201D5. Under the Value column, click where is says u201Cclick here to add itemu201D and select Customer Name from the drop-down list. The dialog shown now look like the one shown below in Figure 1. Click OK to return to your report design.
Dynamic Parameter Setup6. Next, select Report > Select Expert, select the Customer Name field and click OK.7. Using the drop-down list beside select u201CIs Equal Tou201D and using the drop-down list, select your parameter field (it should be the first field). 8. Click OK to return to your report design and see the parameter dialog.The parameter dialog will appear and show you a dynamic list of values that is updated each time your run your report. It couldnu2019t be easier! In our next tutorial, we will be looking at how to use this feature to create cascading parameter fields, where the values are filtered by the preceding selection.
Dynamic Parameters in Action
My question is that whether dynamic parameter is working with storedprocedure or not.
When i added one table and try to fetch records using dyanmic prameters. after that i am not be able to find the dynamic parameter option when i referesh my report.
One more thing when i try the static parameter for my report, the option i see when i referesh the screen.
Please reply soon , it's urgent

Hi Kishore,
I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
=lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
=Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Calling a stored procedure with default parameters

Dear all,
I am trying to call a stored procedure that has not all the parameters compulsory, and indeed, there are some I am not interested in. Therefore, I would like to call the stored procedure initializing only some of the parameters but if I miss some of them, I have an SQLException thrown. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks
Marie

Hi
One way to do it is ---
By using Default Parameters you can miss few parameters while calling a procedure.
=================================================================
As the example below shows, you can initialize IN parameters to default values. That way, you can pass different numbers of actual parameters to a subprogram, accepting or overriding the default values as you please.
Moreover, you can add new formal parameters without having to change every call to the subprogram.
PROCEDURE create_dept (
new_dname VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'TEMP',
new_loc VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'TEMP') IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO dept
VALUES (deptno_seq.NEXTVAL, new_dname, new_loc);
END;
If an actual parameter is not passed, the default value of its corresponding formal parameter is used.
Consider the following calls to create_dept:
create_dept;
create_dept('MARKETING');
create_dept('MARKETING', 'NEW YORK');
The first call passes no actual parameters, so both default values are used.
The second call passes one actual parameter, so the default value for new_loc is used.
The third call passes two actual parameters, so neither default value is used.
Usually, you can use positional notation to override the default values of formal parameters.
However, you cannot skip a formal parameter by leaving out its actual parameter.
For example, the following call incorrectly associates the actual parameter 'NEW YORK' with the formal parameter new_dname:
create_dept('NEW YORK'); -- incorrect
You cannot solve the problem by leaving a placeholder for the actual parameter.
For example, the following call is illegal:
create_dept(, 'NEW YORK'); -- illegal
In such cases, you must use named notation, as follows:
create_dept(new_loc => 'NEW YORK');
===============================================================

Hope this helps
