View content of REF CURSOR

Is there any way in Raptor to view the content of a REF CURSOR being passed OUT from a stored procedure?
In SQL PLUS, I'll do this:
SET LINESIZE 1000;
SET PAGESIZE 1000;
VAR X REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
     MY_USP(:X);
END;
PRINT X;
Is there a Raptor equivalent?

Actually, I didn't just vote for the request, I'm the only one who did ;-P
Some bug in the APEX stuff that still says I'm MATT MATT instead of the updated MRM (Mútua ReddisMATT).
Also seriously, I have no problems as to the order of things getting implemented (that's why you've got management for).
I understand that a feature with only two requests is low prio, especially if it's a tough one.
The only thing I don't like are veto's. If you don't like to implement a feature, you can mark it as low prio, waiting for comunity votes, etc. (you know it can stay in such states forever). Rejecting something is really not a nice thing to do, but hey, what can we do about it...

  • Printing/viewing results of Ref Cursor

    I have a stored procedure which returns a ref cursor. When I am in toad in the SQL window and I enter the following....what do I need to do such that I can see the output of the ref cursor?
    DECLARE
         O_ROWS PRG_OPS.Ops_Ui_Queries.t_cursor;
    BEGIN
    -- O_ROWS := NULL; Modify the code to initialize this parameter
    PRG_OPS.Ops_Ui_Queries.QRY_PROD_DATA ( 1, 136, O_ROWS );
    COMMIT;
    END;

    If you just want to test soemthing in SQL*Plus this would work
    SQL> var rc refcursor
    SQL> exec RG_OPS.Ops_Ui_Queries.QRY_PROD_DATA ( 1, 136, :rc)
    SQL> print rcCheers, APC

  • 26.4 Basing an entity Object on a PL/SQL Package API - Ref Cursor, no View

    I am hoping that I could get some help in the details of a problem. I am trying to follow the directions in the Oracle Application Development Framework Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers, Section 26.4 - Basing an Entity Object on a PL/SQL Package API.
    There is example code in the downloadable AdvancedEntityExamples - EntityWrappingPL/SQLPackage
    The question is, how will the implementation change if the entity is based entirely on PL/SQL - simply stated - no view is available, just ref cursors and insert,update,delete procedures.
    In the example code, there are two procedures, lock_product and select_product. This is where things get more complicated. I can create a function to return a single record ref cursor, instead of the list of OUT variables defined in both functions (select_product and lock_product). It makes sense that I just return one cursor and get all of the columns from that instead of lots of OUT variables.
    So what's stopping me you may ask... There is one difference between select_product and select_lock. Select_lock has a select that includes "FOR UPDATE NOWAIT". I don't have that as an option when creating my ref cursor. I am not sure what the impact of "FOR UPDATE NOWAIT" is? Can I ignore it?
    In the problem I am working with, (getting data from Oracle Portal 10.1.4) I return the following:
    function getRefCursor return ref_cursor is
    v_tab wwsbr_all_items_object_type := wwsbr_all_items_object_type();
    p_recordset wwsbr_types.cursor_type;
    l_results wwsrc_api.items_result_array_type;
    begin
    wwctx_api.set_context(<username>,<password>);
    l_results := wwsrc_api.item_search(.. parameters..);
    <snip>
    ... Loop through the objects and populate v_tab
    <snip>
    open p_recordset for
    select * from table(cast(v_tab as wwsbr_all_items_object_type));
    return p_recordset;
    end getRefCursor;
    With this sample, it would be easy to return a single row by passing the masterid as a parameter.
    So I am still left with, how should the implementation of callLockProcedureAndCheckForRowInconsistency() and callSelectProcedure() be changed in order to use a ref cursor instead of a view? The user guide was missing that extra section <bg>.
    What would be REALLY helpful, is an example, say 26.4A that demonstrates creating an entity object from a ref cursor and procedures from PL/SQL only without a view.
    Thank you, Ken

    The lock procedure is expected to obtain a row-level lock on the row, given its key.
    Depending on the setting of jbo.locking.mode, the entity object's lock() method will be invoked either as soon as the first persistent attribute is successfully modified by the user (in the case of jbo.locking.mode=pessimistic), or it will be called during commit processing just before the row is updated in the database (with jbo.locking.mode=optimistic).
    Usually 2-tier Swing applications use pessimistic mode, while web applications use optimistic mode.
    The FOR UPDATE NOWAIT is the Oracle clause that can be appened to a SELECT statement to acquire a row-level lock on the selected rows. The NOWAIT modifier means that rather than hanging, waiting for a row locked by another user to free up, it will raise an exception if any of the rows being selected-and-locked are not available to lock.
    If you're not able to work the FOR UPDATE NOWAIT into the syntax of the ref cursor, perhaps you can initially perform the lock using a different cursor inside the stored procedure, then return your ref cursor.

    A ref cursor doesn't really contain rows but you can use them to reference a SQL statement that fetches the rows.

  • Ref Cursor over Implicit and explicit cursors

    Hi,

    [http://www.oracle-base.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10720]
    I am bit confused by this, can any one help me to understand this?There is performance and there is performance...
    To explain. There is only a single type of cursor in Oracle - that is the cursor that is parsed and compiled by the SQL engine and stored in the database's shared pool. The "+client+" is then given a handle (called a SQL Statement Handle in many APIs) that it can use to reference that cursor in the SQL engine.
    The performance of this cursor is not determined by the client. It is determined by the execution plan and how much executing that cursor cost ito server resources.
    The client can be Java, Visual Basic, .Net - or a PL/SQL program. This client language (a client of SQL), has its own structures in dealing with that cursor handle received from the SQL engine.
    It can hide it from the developer all together - so that he/she does not even see that there is a statement handle. This is what implicit cursors are in PL/SQL.
    It can allow the developer to manually define the cursor structure - this is what explicit cursors, ref cursors, and DBMS_SQL cursors are in PL/SQL.
    Each of these client cursor structures provides the programmer with a different set of features to deal with SQL cursor. Explicit cursor constructs in PL/SQL do not allow for the use of dynamic SQL. Ref cursors and DBMS_SQL cursors do. Ref cursors do not allow the programmer to determine, at run-time, the structure of the SQL projection of the cursor. DBMS_SQL cursors do.
    Only ref cursors can be created in PL/SQL and then be handed over to another client (e.g. Java/VB) for processing. Etc.
    So each of the client structures/interfaces provides you with a different feature set for SQL cursors.
    Choosing implicit cursors for example does not make the SQL cursor go faster. The SQL engine does not know and does not care, what client construct you are using to deal with the SQL cursor handle it gave you. It does not matter. It does not impact its SQL cursor performance.
    But on the client side, it can matter - as your code in dealing with that SQL cursor determines how fast your interaction with that SQL cursor is. How many context switches you make. How effectively you use and re-use the SQL (e.g. hard parsing vs soft parsing vs re-using the same cursor handle). Etc.
    Is there any single client cursor construct that is better? No.
    That is an ignorant view. The client language provides a toolbox, where each tool has a specific application. The knowledgeable developer will use the right tool for the job. The idiot developer will select one tool and use it as The Hammer to "solve" all the problems.

  • [Solved] 27.8.4 How to Create a VO on a REF CURSOR - Missing first row

    Searching the forum I found: BC4J - Get one less row from view object.
    Dive into BC4J related  --REF CURSOR (Resultset)
    The first message did not have any answers, and the second had a follow up question - still no answers though - and I thought I would try a different title.
    (This is off topic, but it would be a great help if the search results also displayed the number of replys in the thread. That way, I wouldn't have to view the messages that don't have responses.)
    (This will be deployed on a server that has the ADF for JDeveloper 10.1.2 installed, so using that version of JDeveloper to develop the app.)
    Okay, back to the problem ==>
    I created a VO from a ref cursor, using the manual as a guide. When I run a page that displays a read only table of the view object, I am missing the first row. (Always the first row!) I don't have any order set, and if I call the ref cursor in a Java program for testing, I see all rows and the count is correct.
    One other point, when I call the page, I get the following validation error:
    Validation Error
    You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:
    * JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.lang.ClassCastException, msg=null
    * null
    I still see the table, it is just missing the first row of data.
    In my form I have first, previous set, next set , and last
    navigation buttons. If I press last then first, the error goes away. I still don't see the missing row though.
    Any guidance would be appreciated! I can post my code, but it is pretty much the same code in the AdvancedViewObjectExamples.zip in the ViewObjectOnRefCursor example. I just substituted my two package calls (getRefCursor and getRefCursorCount).
    Thanks, Ken

    Went back to a backup copy of the source. Fixed the error. Now I'm back to just not being able to see the first row of data.
    Additional Note: I had removed fields in the display. Once I truncated the ps_txn table in the schema defined by the model, the data would display (Still without the first record.)
    Are there any examples that are more in depth than the few pages in the developer guide?

  • Help on CAST function, defining TYPE TABLE and using a REF cursor

    Hi,
    I have written a procedure (lookup) inside a package (lookup_pkg) as shown below.
    Procedure has an output variable of type PL/SQL TABLE which is defined in the package.
    I want to write a wrapper procedure lookupref to the procedure lookup to return a ref cursor.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE lookup_pkg AS
    TYPE t_lookup_refcur IS REF CURSOR;
    CURSOR c_lookup IS
         Select columns1,2,3,....100
                   FROM A, B, C, D, E
                   WHERE ROWNUM < 1;
    TYPE t_lookup IS TABLE OF c_lookup%ROWTYPE;
    Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup);
    End lookup_pkg;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY lookup_pkg As
    Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup) IS
    BEGIN
    END lookup;
    Procedure lookupref(id Number, o_lookupref OUT t_lookup_refcur) IS
    o_lookup t_lookup;
    BEGIN
    lookup(id, o_lookup t_lookup);
    OPEN t_lookup_refcur FOR
    SELECT *
         FROM TABLE(CAST(o_lookup AS t_lookup));
    Exception
    End lookupref;
    END lookup_pkg;
    When I compile this procedure, I am getting invalid datatype Oracle error and
    cursor points the datatype t_lookup in the CAST function.
    1. Can anyone tell me what is wrong in this. Can I convert a PL/SQL collection (pl/sql table in this case) to PL/SQL datatype table or does it need to be a SQL datatype only (which is created as a type in database).
    Also, to resolve this error, I have created a SQL type and table type instead of PL/SQL table in the package as shown below.
    create or replace type t_lookuprec as object
                   (Select columns1,2,3,....100
                   FROM A, B, C, D, E
                   WHERE ROWNUM < 1);
    create or replace type t_lookup_tab AS table of t_lookuprec;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY lookup_pkg As
    Procedure lookup(id Number, o_lookup OUT t_lookup) IS
    BEGIN
    END lookup;
    Procedure lookupref(id Number, o_lookupref OUT t_lookup_refcur) IS
    o_lookup t_lookup;
    BEGIN
    lookup(id, o_lookup t_lookup);
    OPEN t_lookup_refcur FOR
    SELECT *
         FROM TABLE(CAST(o_lookup AS t_lookup_tab));
    Exception
    End lookupref;
    END lookup_pkg;
    When I compile this package, I am getting "PL/SQL: ORA-22800: invalid user-defined type" Oracle error and
    points the datatype t_lookup_tab in the CAST function.
    2. Can anyone tell me what is wrong. Can I create a type with a select statement and create a table type using type created earlier?
    I have checked the all_types view and found that
    value for Incomplete column for these two types are YES.
    3. What does that mean?
    Any suggestions and help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Srinivas

    create or replace type t_lookuprec as object
    (Select columns1,2,3,....100
    FROM A, B, C, D, E
    WHERE ROWNUM < 1);You are correct that you need to use CREATE TYPE to use the type in SQL.
    However unless I am mistaken you appear to have invented your own syntax for CREATE TYPE, suggest you refer to Oracle documentation.

  • Using ref cursor in where clause

    I have a stored procedure (package procedure) that returns a ref cursor as a parameter. This procedure performs a query and returns the cursor. The procedure calls another stored procedure within the package. This second procedure also returns a ref cursor. I want to do my query on the results of the cursor returned by the second procedure. Hopefully the example below is okay.. "I had to change names to protect the blah blah...."
    For example:
    TYPE out_cursor IS REF CURSOR;
    TYPE IDTable IS TABLE OF table1.ID%TYPE;
    PROCEDURE A
    v_ID IN NUMBER,
    v_Param2 IN NUMBER,
    v_FromClause IN VARCHAR2, -- ignore for now
    v_WhereClause IN VARCHAR2, -- ignore for now
    v_retval OUT NUMBER,
    the_cursor OUT out_cursor
    IS
    v_SQLString VARCHAR2(2048);
    v_cursor1 out_cursor;
    v_tabIDs IDTable;
    BEGIN
    v_SQLString := '';
    packageA.procedureA(v_ID, v_retval, v_cursor1);
    -- this does not work
    -- I get ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    v_SQLString := 'select distinct * from v_cursor1';
    -- I found this on the message board but
    -- it did not compile.
    -- local collection types not allowed in SQL statements
    FETCH v_cTSFiles BULK COLLECT INTO v_tabIDs;
    v_SQLString := 'select distinct * from table1 WHERE table1.ID in (select * from table(v_tabIDs))';
    OPEN the_cursor FOR v_SQLString;
    END;

    You can use that second technique but as the error message says, "local collection types not allowed in SQL statements". You need to create a schema type instead.
    [sql]
    create or replace type ttab_number is table of number
    create or replace procedure p is
    tab_id ttab_number;
    refcur sys_refcursor;
    begin
    open refcur for
    select user_id
    from all_users;
    fetch refcur bulk collect into tab_id;
    close refcur;
    for rec in (
    select *
    from all_users
    where user_id in (
    select *
    from table(cast(tab_id as ttab_number)))
    ) loop
    dbms_output.put_line(rec.username);
    end loop;
    end;

  • DB proc - do you need to create a table to pass a ref cursor record type?

    I want to pass a limited selection of columns from a large table through a DB procedure using a REF CURSOR, returning a table rowtype:
    CREATE OR REPLACE package XXVDF_XPOS_DS021_ITEMS AS
         TYPE XXVDF_XPOS_DS021_ITEM_ARRAY
         IS REF CURSOR
         return XXVDF_XPOS_DS021_ITEM_TABLE%ROWTYPE;
    Do I need to create this dummy table?
    I can't get a TYPE to work, where the type is an OBJECT with the desired columns in it.
    So a dummy empty table will sit in the database...
    Is there another way?
    thanks!

    You can use RECORD type declaration:
    SQL> declare
      2   type rec_type is record (
      3    ename emp.ename%type,
      4    sal emp.sal%type
      5   );

    13    exit when rc1%notfound;
    14    dbms_output.put_line(rec1.ename || ' ' || rec1.sal);

  • VC 7.0 Oracle stored procedures resultset with ref cursor

    Can VC (we are on NW7 SP13) handle Oracle's datatype ref cursor - which is the standard solution in Oracle to return result sets - as the return value of a stored procedure?
    When testing a data service in the VC story board based upon a simple Oracle function like:
    create or replace package pkg_dev
    is
       type t_cursor is ref cursor;
    end;
    create or replace function vc_stub return pkg_dev.t_cursor
    as
    l_cursor pkg_dev.t_cursor;
    begin
    open l_cursor for select ename from emp;
    return l_cursor;
    end;
    (just as example - I know that could be easily retrieved using the BI JDBC connector framework and accessing tables / views)
    I am always running in the "portal request failed ( Could not execute Stored Procedure)" error - so I am not able to use the "add fields" function to bind the output.
    The defaulttrace contains entries like:
    Text: com.sap.portal.vc.HTMLBRunTime
    [EXCEPTION]
    com.sapportals.connector.execution.ExecutionException: Could not execute stored procedure
    Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column type
         at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)
    We deployed Oracle's own jdbc-driver for Oracle 10g. Using that driver and a portal jdbc connector framework entry the stored procedures of the Oracle database user mapped to the portal user are discovered and available in the "Find Data Services" section.

    We deployed the drivers as described in the HowTo Papers (e.g.Hwo to Configure UD Connect on the J2EE Server for JDBC Access to External Databases). When deploying the drivers you assign a freely definable name for the set of Oracle's jar-files (eg. oracle_10) as library name. Having deployed the drivers in that way only System Definitions via BI JDBC connector framework were working. With a little help from SAP Support (call lasted more than 2 months till a very capable member of the support team made things working in a very short time) we got the portal jdbc connection with Oracle's jar-files working:
    Here are instructions how to add reference:
    1. Connect to the j2ee using telnet, e.g in the cmd window type:
    telnet <host> <port> + 8, enter uid and pwd of j2ee admin.
    2. jump 0
    3. add deploy
    4. change_ref -m com.sapportals.connectors.database <your lib name>       <your lib name = oracle_10>
    Trying to manually add this reference in visual admin connector container for JDBCFactory failed - reference could be added and saved, but then disappeared (at least in NW7 with SP12). Adding the reference as described above solved the problem.

  • XSQL ERROR with bind-params in ref-cursor-function

    Hi Steve
    I always get the error
    ORA-01006 bind variable does not exist
    when using a bind variable in a <xsql:ref-cursor-function> action element.
    when I replace the bind variable with a @ - parameter substitution, all works fine.

    ( dbconn selects my schema, not changed often, which contains package ekatkategcv with
    function open_cv_ebh returning a cursor)
    Any fix would be appreciated to avoid reparsing on each call.
    BTW, is it right, that a ref-cursor funtion is reparsed whenever the content of
    a parameter used with @ changes?
    Best regards

    I have tried it using ? instead of :1, this method works fine.
    I haven't tried the name method (:bindvar) yet.
    Until now, I only used xsl:query and xsql:ref-cursor-function, so I didn't check
    the other action handlers with bind variables like :1

    AS
    BEGIN
    OPEN cv_employee FOR SELECT * FROM employees WHERE employee_id=p_employeeid;
    END usp_GetEmployee;
    For this, I am implementing a unit test.
    * In the "Select Parameters" step, I am unchecking the "Test Result" check box for the cursor OUT variable.
    * In the "Specify Validations" step, I am choosing "Boolean Function" and putting the following PL/SQL code:
    DECLARE
    emp_rec {cv_employee$}%rowtype;
    BEGIN
    FETCH {cv_employee$} INTO emp_rec;
    IF {cv_employee$}%FOUND THEN
    RETURN TRUE;
    ELSE
    RETURN FALSE;
    END IF;
    RETURN TRUE;
    END;
    But, when I try to execute this Test, I get the following error:
    Validation Boolean function failed: Unable to convert <oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleResultSetImpl@4f0617> to REF CURSOR.
    If I run in the debug mode, I get the following content in a dialog box:
    The following procedure was run.
    Execution Call
    BEGIN
    "ARCADMIN"."USP_GETEMPLOYEE"(P_EMPLOYEEID=>:1,
    CV_EMPLOYEE=>:2);
    END;
    Bind variables used
    :1 NUMBER IN 1001
    :2 REF CURSOR OUT (null)
    Execution Results
    ERROR

    Please suggest how to handle this issue.

    Try explicity declaring the ref cursor instead of using a bind variable, something like (untested)
    begin
      foo sys_refcurosr;
    begin
      test_procedure(foo);
    end;Alternately, in SQL*PLUS use the DEFINE command to ste a named bind variable to type REFCURSOR and use the named bind variable in your test

  • How to accumlate resultsets in ref cursor

    Hello
    I have 3 cursor which query on different tables and return the same columns. I need to accumulate the result set of 3 cursors into a single ref cursor. Is this possible. If so how.
    regards,
    Ravi Narala

    It's possible, but it's not recommended. Do you have any control of the situation (can you just write 1 query)?
    If you have absolutely no option, you can user record types (you will need a SQL type created), BULK COLLECT the contents of cursor1, cursor2 and cursor3 into that, and then return a REF CURSOR that is
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(SQL_TYPE);
    Here's an example:
    create type my_number_type as table of number;
    DECLARE
       c1             sys_refcursor;
       c2             sys_refcursor;
       c3             sys_refcursor;
       final_cursor   sys_refcursor;  
       array_1        my_number_type;
       array_2        my_number_type;
       array_3        my_number_type;
       final_array    my_number_type;     
    BEGIN
       open c1 for select 1 from dual;
       fetch c1 bulk collect into array_1;
       close c1;
       open c2 for select 8 from dual;
       fetch c2 bulk collect into array_2;
       close c2;
       open c3 for select 6 from dual;
       fetch c3 bulk collect into array_3;
       close c3;
       select *
       bulk collect into final_array
       from
          select * from table(cast(array_1 as my_number_type))
          UNION ALL
          select * from table(cast(array_2 as my_number_type))
          UNION ALL
          select * from table(cast(array_3 as my_number_type))
       open final_cursor for select * from table(cast(final_array as my_number_type));
    END;
