View of variables declared within a package/procedure

Does anyone know of a view which holds all the variables declared within a package/function/procedure?
I can see that _arguments holds the parameters defined.
PLSQL Developer displays these things in their drop downs, so I assume they are either getting it from a view or have written something which parses the _source view?

Do you mean this ?

How to make a dynamic function call from within a package procedure

Hi:
I need to call a function dynamically (name and parameters determined at run time, but return value is known:always an integer). I can build the call and place it in a dynamic sql using dbms_sql. But the function is inside a package and is not public.
So, if I issue:
dbms_sql.parse( cur,'SELECT '||call||' FROM dual', dbms_sql.v7 )
where call is "DOS(234,'V')"
I get:
ORA-00904: "DOS": invalid identifier
If I make the function ("DOS") public and "call" equals "pack.DOS(234,'V')", it works fine, but I don't want to make it public.
Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance
RuBeck

Hi, Kamal:
Calling from outside of the owner package is not possible if it is not public.The calls are from inside the package. It looks like the dynamic select is executed "outside" the package, so the private function is unknown
Make it available in the package headerLooks like it's the only solution
How often this will be executed?This is a library for loading files into tables and executing dynamic validation procedures.
Here's an example of the mechanics:
create or replace package mypack as
function one return number ; -- public function
procedure execute_it( p_name VARCHAR2 ) ;
end ;
create or replace package body mypack as
function one return number is
begin
return 1 ;
end ;
function two( i number, s varchar2 ) return number is -- private function
begin
return 2 ;
end ;
procedure execute_it( p_name VARCHAR2 ) is
select_str VARCHAR2( 1000 ) ;
v_num NUMBER ;
cur NUMBER ;
nf NUMBER ;
begin
select_str := 'SELECT '||p_name||' FROM dual' ;
cur := dbms_sql.open_cursor ;
dbms_sql.parse( cur,select_str,dbms_sql.v7 ) ;
dbms_sql.define_column( cur,1, v_num ) ;
nf := dbms_sql.execute( cur ) ;
IF dbms_sql.fetch_rows( cur ) = 0 THEN
RAISE no_data_found ;
END IF ;
dbms_sql.column_value( cur, 1, v_numero ) ;
dbms_output.put_line( p_name||' returns '||v_num ) ;
dbms_sql.close_cursor( cur ) ;
end ;
end ;
begin
mypack.execute_it( 'mypack.one' ) ; -- Call public function: Works fine
mypack.execute_it( 'two(234,''v'')' ) ; -- Call private function: error 0904
end ;
Thanks for your hints

Creating a table/view or temporary table from within a stored procedure

Hi Gurus,
Can someone tell me if it is possible to create a table (or view) from within a stored procedure.
PROBLEM:
In fact I need to create a report at back end (without using oracle developer forms or reports). This report requires creating several tables to hold temporary report data. If I create a sql*plus script for this, i works fine, because it can run DDL and other sql or pl/sql statements sequencialy. But this sql*plus script cannot be called from application. So, application needs an stored procedure to do this task and then application call that procedure. But within stored procedure, i am unable to create table (or run any ddl statement). Can somebody help me in this?
Thanks in Advance.

Denis,
The problem with Nicholas' suggestion isrelated to the fact that now you have two components
(a table and a stored procedure)
I don't see any problem to have "two
components" here. After all, what about all others
tabes ? This is only one more, but I don't understand
why want manage less objects, that implies more code,
more maintenance, and more difficulties to debug.
Needless to say about performance...
Nicolas.The same reasons apply if you were forced to declare all PL/SQL variables publicly (outside the stored proc.) rather than privately (from inside the stored proc). Naming conflicts for one. If the name that you want to use for the GTT already exists, you need to find a new name. With the SQL Server type local/private declarations, you wouldn't have that problem.
I can see how performance would be the same or better using GTTs. If the number of records involved is low, this is likely negligable.

How do I view a FUNCTION within a Package Body

I can see the FUNCTION being executed within the Package...
FUNCTION Stop_Refresh_AsBilled
RETURN Number;
And within Oracle SQL Developer and using the Connection and "Packages" part of the Schema, I see the Function Name. However, when I <Double-Click> on the FUNCTION Name within the Schema, it is taking me to where the FUNCTION is executed within the Package and NOT to the PL/SQL Code that actually makes up the FUNCTION.
Am I missing something here??? Maybe in my Preferences??? How can I drill down further to actually find the FUNCTION Definition and PL/SQL Code that makes up the FUNCTION within the Package Body???
I can bring up the Package Body and Search on the FUNCTION that way. I'm hoping there is an easier way however to drill down to the actual PL/SQL Code that makes up the FUNCTION.
I hope I am being clear in my explanation here.
Thanks for your review and I am hopeful for a reply.

Jim, opening the body node to see all functions and procedures sometimes does not work in 3.0
I have many packages generated by Feuerstien's CodeGen utility. The Query package appears just fine with every function and procedure appearing as expected in both header and body nodes. However, the Change Package fails miserably. Header shows all functions and procedures fine, but the body node only shows the top private declarations of variables and types. Not one function or procedure appears in the expanded node.
The only thing I can figure is that the Change package of about 30 named items has many of the same name+ with overloaded parameters. I think SQL Dev is having problems parsing the names in the body even though it does fine with the names in the header of the package--perhaps because of many private variables and PRAGMA's declared at the top of the body.
Both packages have about 30 functions, but the Change package body has over 2000 lines while the Query package has fewer than 500.
Just adding to the mystery--but I think it merits a bug report (gotta figure out where to report it now).

Calling a stored procedure within a package

We have a number of packages containing stored procedures. In an existing production application, we used embedded SQL in C programs to call these stored procs
e.g.
EXEC SQL EXECUTE
BEGIN owner.fees_calc.some_fee(:parm1,...);
END;
END-EXEC;
Now, I am trying to use SQLJ to call this same stored proc in the package. However, I am getting a compilation error from sqlj saying that it cannot find a stored procedure or function of that name. It works fine if I use a stored proc that is not in a package.
So how do I call a stored procedure within a package? Or is this not currently possible with sqlj?
I am also getting a warning just before the error and I'm wondering if the error is being caused by this:
Warning: You are using an Oracle JDBC driver, but connecting to a non-Oracle database. SQLJ will perform JDBC-generic SQL checking.
I am connecting to an Oracle 7.3.3 database using an Oracle 7.3.4 JDBC driver. I also tried using the Oracle 8.0.5 JDBC driver for the same database but I get the same warning message.

I used the following code to call a stored
procedure via SQLJ:
try {
#sql [iCtx] {
CALL ibs.cvs_validate.validate_port_id(:IN record_id ,:IN poe_pod_flag,:IN port_id,:OUT error_code,:OUT error_message) };
where
"ibs" is the schema
"cvs_validate" is the package
"validate_port_id" is the procedure
The code runs fine, but to get it to compile
in JDeveloper 2.0, I had to disable the "Check SQL semantics against database schema" option on the Project Properties (SQLJ) property sheet.

Variable declaration in Package and package body

Hi
Kindly reply the difference in declaring a cursor inside a package vs package body
eg:
create or replace package shapak is
cursor shacur is select * from sha;
function shafun return number;
end;
i can declare the above cursor inside the package body withoout declaring in package specification. but what is the difference?
reply appreciated
thanks
shajan

In general..Items declared in the package spec are visible outside the package..so you can say public.where as items declared in the body are restricted to use within the package..such items are called private.

How to use local variables declared in b/t the methods in other views

Hi
i need to use the value of the local variables declared in b/w the views in one other view,as i have manipulated the value based on some condition & want to use it in 1 more view for my req.,but that variable is not global one just for once i need to use it,and i can't again write the whole for its conditions,as its there in initialization view,which if coded again,can hit the functionality there,so is it possible to use the value of such local variables thereafter or not,if yes pls let me know,or i need to declare the global variable for this.

hi,
1.Declare an Attribute in Component controller.
2. Pass the value to this Attribute in View V1.
using :
wd_comp_controller->Att = 'Saurav'.
3. Now in view2 , you can access this Attribute using:
data lv type string.
lv = wd_comp_controller->Att .
Here Att is my attribute of type string declared in component controller.

Ability to filter out Views, Indexes, Packages, Procedures, Functions, etc.

Under Connections, I choose my database, then the user, and from there I view my Tables. I have no need to view Views, Indexes, Packages, Procedures, etc., just the tables (which I am able to filter).
Since the tree containing Views, Indexes, Packages, etc., take up a lot of real estate (I work with multiple databases, each with a specific user, or schema), is it not possible to filter these out?
Thanks!
Edited by: user9956988 on Jun 15, 2010 3:53 PM

Just to double check that I'm interpreting the problem correctly, is the following true:
select * from all_objects where object_name = 'DBA_SOURCE'
returns nothing
select * from dba_source where name = your PL/SQL module
returns all the code

Need Help: Using Ref Cursor in ProC to call a function within a Package

I'm calling a function within a package that is returning a REF CURSOR.
As per the Oracle Pro*C Programmer's Guide, I did the following:
1) declared my cursor with a: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION and declared the cursor as: SQL_CURSOR my_cursor;
2) I allocated the cursor as: EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :my_cursor;
3) Via a EXEC SQL.....END-EXEC begin block
I called the package function and assign the return value to my cursor
e.g. my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2);
Now, the only difference between my code and the example given in the Pro*C Programmer's Guide is that the example calls a PROCEDURE within a package that passes back the REF CURSOR as an OUT host variable.
Whereas, since I am calling a function, the function ASSIGNS the return REF CURSOR in the return value.
If I say my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2); I get a message stating, "PLS-00201: identifier MY_CURSOR" must be declared"
If I say :my_cursor := package.function(:host1, :host2); I get a message stating, "ORA-01480: trailing null missing from STR bind value"
I just want to call a package function and assign the return value to a REF CURSOR variable. There must be a way of doing this. I can do this easily in standard PL/SQL. How can this be done in Pro*C ???
Thanks for any help.

Folks, I figured it out. For those who may face this problem in the future you may want to take note for future reference.
Oracle does not allow you to assign the return value of a REF CURSOR from a FUNCTION ( not Procedure - - there is a difference) directly to a host variable. This is the case even if that host variable is declared a CURSOR variable.
The trick is as follows: Declare the REF CURSOR within the PL/SQL BEGIN Block, using the TYPE statement, that will contain the call to the package function. On the call, you then assign the return REF CURSOR value that the function is returning to your REF CURSOR variable declared in the DECLARE section of the EXEC SQL .... END-EXEC PL/SQL Block.
THEN, assign the REF CURSOR variable that was populated from the function call to your HOST cursor varaible. Then fetch this HOST Cursor variable into your Host record structure variable. Then you can deference individual fields as need be within your C or C++ code.
I hope this will help someone facing a deadline crunch. Happy computing !

Temporary table within a package

I'm not sure this is the best way to achieve it, but I'm trying to use a temporary table within my package, but I failed!
In my package, my procedure do receive 5 different phone numbers (vTel1 to vTel5) and I need to order them, using data from a table. Also, if 2 of them are the same, I need only the one with the highest rank.
Let say my TelOrder table look likes:
Reason
Tel1
Tel2
Tel3
Tel4
Tel5
Reason1
2
3
1
5
4
Reason2
1
2
null
3
4
And I receive those variable
vTel1='5141111111'
vTel2=null
vTel3='5143333333'
vTel4='5141111111'
vTel5='5145555555'
vReason='Reason1'
Using the Reason1, I need to be able to get the result looking like:
RowNum
Phone
Order
1
5143333333
1
2
5141111111
2
3
5145555555
4
And I need this code to be apart from the procedure, cause many procedures will use the same code, and I don't want to abuse the ctrl+c, ctrl+v at each update.
I've come close by using something like:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE '
     INSERT INTO Table
     SELECT Rownum as RN, Ordre, contact_info, Contact_info_type
     FROM
       (SELECT a.contact_info, a.ordre, contact_info_type FROM
         (SELECT contact_info,min(ordre) as Ordre FROM
           (SELECT Tel1 as Ordre, ''' || vTel1 || ''' as contact_info, 1 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
           UNION ALL
           SELECT Tel2 as Ordre, ''' || vTel2 || ''' as contact_info, 2 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
           UNION ALL
           SELECT Tel3 as Ordre, ''' || vTel3 || ''' as contact_info, 4 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
           UNION ALL

           UNION ALL
           SELECT Tel5 as Ordre, ''' || vTel5 || ''' as contact_info, 1 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         WHERE Ordre is not null and contact_info is not null
         GROUP BY contact_info
         ) a
       JOIN
         (SELECT Tel1 as Ordre, ''' || vTel1 || ''' as contact_info, 1 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         UNION ALL
         SELECT Tel2 as Ordre, ''' || vTel2 || ''' as contact_info, 2 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         UNION ALL
         SELECT Tel3 as Ordre, ''' || vTel3 || ''' as contact_info, 4 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         UNION ALL
         SELECT Tel4 as Ordre, ''' || vTel4 || ''' as contact_info, 4 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         UNION ALL
         SELECT Tel5 as Ordre, ''' || vTel5 || ''' as contact_info, 1 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         ) b ON a.contact_info=b.contact_info AND a.ordre=b.ordre
       ORDER BY a.Ordre
But when I try to remove this code and send it into another procedure/function, I can't make it work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Calling a package.procedure that accepts a type table.

I'm getting the error "Error(45,20): PLS-00330: invalid use of type name or subtype name" when I run the procedure SP when it calls the d.is_date procedure that accepts a table as the second parameter.
below is the Abbreviated code for the package.procedures that contain the "is_date".
I've tried several things and can't seem to get SP to compile.
thanks.
create or replace

/* Logic here removed to make post smaller
End Is_date;
End d;

Here...
d.Is_Date( 'test', Mask_Tabtype, Valid_out, Date_out, Date_Fmt_out);you are passing in Mast_Tabtype, which is a type declaration, rather than a variable of that type.
Try...
d.Is_Date( 'test', Fmts, Valid_out, Date_out, Date_Fmt_out);

You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program using the SET PARAMETER statement. Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement. The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens
SAP global memory retains field value through out session.
set parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.
get parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.
They are stored in table TPARA.
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data
to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.
ABAP memory is temporary and values are retained in same LUW.
export itab to memory id 'TEST'.
import itab from memory Id 'TEST'.
Here itab should be declared of same type and length.

Package/procedure/function calls done with in a package

Hi Experts,
Can anybody suggest me the table/ a query to find the package/procedure/function calls (with in the same db or remote) done with in a package.
It would be great if we can provide a tree like structure of the objects being called/used.
btw.. dba_dependencies will provide me the info about the global procedures only not the local ones used with in the package body.
Appreciate your time..
Thanks

Appreciate your time..What database version do you have?
11g I think provides some sort of fine grained dependency information which can detail packages, but prior to 11g you can only get dependencies on the database objects themselves of which functions/procedures within a package are not, as the package itself is the object.
I don't think there's any easy way to find out from any tables or views and I think third party tools would have to parse the code to determine such things themselves, so that may be one of your only options.

How to use of variable sized parameter in plsql procedures

Hello,
We will write a procedure which has a fixed parameter and which has other variable count parameters. How can we implement with this in pl - sql., which structure(varray, nested table, collections vb) should we use?
For example:
I want to use it like below:
create procedure TestProc
paramId Number,
paramOthers
IS
-- variable declarations
vOthers
begin
select paramOthers
into vOthers from table1;
-- some other sqls
dbms_output.putline( vOthers[0] || ' some message ' || vOthers[1] || ' some other message' || vOthers[3] || ' anoother message... ' || vOthers[n] );
end TestProc;
/

I also tried but I am taking errors:
My simple code is:
( I have not to try to use values in array as column names in select statement yet )
/* Formatted on 2008/09/26 10:35 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE TEST_PACKAGE
AS
TYPE VARCHAR2_ARR IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2 (50);
FUNCTION TEST_FUNC (S IN NUMBER, MY_PARAM_ARR IN VARCHAR2_ARR)
RETURN VARCHAR2;
END TEST_PACKAGE;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY TEST_PACKAGE
IS
FUNCTION TEST_FUNC (S IN NUMBER, MY_PARAM_ARR IN VARCHAR2_ARR)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
V_COUNT NUMBER;
VSTRING VARCHAR2 (10000);
BEGIN
VSTRING := '';
V_COUNT := MY_PARAM_ARR.COUNT;
FOR TEMP_VAR IN 1 .. V_COUNT
LOOP
VSTRING := VSTRING || MY_PARAM_ARR (TEMP_VAR);
END LOOP;
RETURN VSTRING;
END TEST_FUNC;
END TEST_PACKAGE;
DECLARE
MY_ARR TEST_PACKAGE.VARCHAR2_ARR;
RETVAL VARCHAR2 (20000);
BEGIN
MY_ARR (1) := 'Test1';
MY_ARR (2) := 'Test2';
MY_ARR (3) := 'Test3';
MY_ARR (4) := 'Test4';
SELECT TEST_PACKAGE.TEST_FUNC (3, MY_ARR)
INTO RETVAL
FROM DUAL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (RETVAL);
END;
I take the error message below:
ORA-06550: line 10, column 38:
PLS-00642: local collection types not allowed in SQL statements
ORA-06550: line 10, column 24:
