What's wrong with my procedure?

I have written a stored procedure that takes a column name (or a partial column name) as a parameter, and lists of all the tables in the database that have a column name like that.
It's not working. It doesn't return a list of tables and columns like it should. It returns nothing. Here's the procedure:
=======================================
set serveroutput on
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE col_find(p_col_text VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
     DECLARE     CURSOR cur1 IS
          select table_name, column_name
          from all_tab_columns
          where lower(column_name) = lower('%p_col_text%')
     BEGIN
          for rec1 in cur1
          loop
               dbms_output.put_line(rec1.table_name || '.' || rec1.column_name);
          end loop;
     EXCEPTION when others then
          dbms_output.put_line('error');
     END;
END;
show errors;
quit;
=======================================
I have found that having this type of helper procedure around is a great time-saver. I have more experience in Sybase than in Oracle, and this procedure is very simple to write in Sybase. Does anybody see what my problem is?

Thanks for the help! But it's still coming back with nothing. Here's the updated procedure:
set serveroutput on
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE col_find(p_col_text VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
     DECLARE     CURSOR cur1 IS
          select table_name, column_name
          from all_tab_columns
          where lower(column_name) like lower('%' || p_col_text || '%')
     BEGIN
          for rec1 in cur1
          loop
               dbms_output.put_line(rec1.table_name || '.' || rec1.column_name);
          end loop;
     EXCEPTION when others then
          dbms_output.put_line('error');
     END;
END;
show errors;
quit;

  • What is wrong with this procedure?

    Hello:
    I am trying to create the following procedure but it does not compile. Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE InnoBox_SA.spCheckUser
              ciUserID IN VARCHAR(20),
              coUserID OUT VARCHAR(20),
              cLastName OUT VARCHAR(20),
              cFirstName OUT VARCHAR(20),
              cAdminInd OUT CHAR(1)
    AS
         BEGIN
              SELECT
                   user_ID_C INTO coUserID,
                   Last_Name_C INTO cLastName,
                   First_Name_C INTO cFirstName,
                   Admin_Ind_C INTO cAdminInd
              FROM
                   InnoBox_SA.S_USER
              WHERE
                   User_ID_C = ciUserID;
              IF coUserID IS NULL THEN
                   BEGIN
                        INSERT INTO InnoBox_SA.S_USER
                             (User_ID_C,
                             Created_By_C,
                             Updated_By_C)
                        VALUES
                             (ciUserID,
                             'FirstTime',
                             'FirstTime');
                   END;
         END;
    Thanks.

    Kamal:
    I made it even simpler:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE InnoBox_SA.spCheckUser
              ciUserID VARCHAR(20)
    AS
         cUserID VARCHAR(20);
         BEGIN
              SELECT
                   user_ID_C INTO cUserID
              FROM
                   InnoBox_SA.S_USER
              WHERE
                   User_ID_C = ciUserID;
              IF cUserID IS NULL THEN
                   INSERT INTO InnoBox_SA.S_USER
                        (User_ID_C,
                        Created_By_C,
                        Updated_By_C)
                   VALUES
                        (ciUserID,
                        'FirstTime',
                        'FirstTime');
              END IF;
         END;
    All it takes is a User ID. If it does not exist, then it creates one.
    I used SQL-plus to create the procedure. Pl-SQL just informs me that the procedure was created with compiled errors.
    If I used EM to recompile, it says
    "Line # = 3 Column # = 19 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following:
    := . ) , @ % default character
    The symbol ":=" was substituted for "(" to continue."
    Line 3 is refering to
    that's on Line 2 in my procedure.
    Thanks for your help.

  • What's wrong with my store procedure?

    HI, I can't figure out what's wrong with my stored procedure. I believe i have a "commit;" where it's not supposed to be. What i really want to acheive is save the record once it finds those keywords. Maybe my syntax is all wrong.
    I am getting the following error msg. PLS-00103
    create or replace
    procedure sp_diag is
    DECLARE
    v_setting_key NUMBER(18);
    v_parent NUMBER(22);
    v_name VARCHAR2(100);
    v_class_key NUMBER(22);
    CURSOR c1 IS
    select setting_key, setting_class_key,name
    from cms2wire.setting_list;
    CURSOR c2 IS
    select setting_class_key, parent_class_key,name
    from cms2wire.setting_class
    where setting_class_key = v_parent;
    BEGIN
    OPEN c1;
    LOOP
    FETCH c1 into v_setting_key, v_parent, v_name;
    EXIT when c1%NOTFOUND;
    WHILE v_parent != null
    LOOP
    OPEN c2;
    FETCH c2 into v_class_key, v_parent, v_name;
    CLOSE c2;
    IF v_name='Diag.'or v_name='Settings.' THEN
    COMMIT;
    END IF;
    END LOOP;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c1;
    END;
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now, the way I see it, if you want to save the information, then you need to put it some place, so your slow-by-slow stored procedure becomes something like
    INSERT INTO some_table (column list)
      SELECT a.setting_key,
             a.setting_class_key,
             a.name
             b.setting_class_key,
             b.parent_class_key,
             b.name
        FROM cms2wire.setting_list  a,
             cms2wire.setting_class b
       WHERE a.setting_class_key = a.setting_class_key
         AND b.name in ('Diag.', 'Settings.');
    COMMIT;does it not?

  • What's wrong with my approval procedure query ?

    Hi everybody,
    This is my query :
    SELECT DISTINCT 'TRUE' FROM RDR1 WHERE $[$38.U_Prix_plancher.number] >=$[$38.Price.number]
    What's wrong with that ?
    Thanks
    Ara

    Ara,
    The problem is not with your Query but the problem is with the way the Query gets trigerred for an Approval Process.
    SAP only recognizes the value of a $[$38.x.x] parameter when that particular row is active.
    I suggest you can test this by simply highlight that particular row which breaks the rule and try to Add the document and you will see that the Approval Procudure will fire.
    Also remember an Approval Procudure works only when you are in Add Mode and does not on Update.
    Regards
    Suda

  • My iphone consumed  10GB data this what's wrong with my VPN kindly guide suitably moreover battery drain fast

    My iphone 5s consumed  10GB data this what's wrong with my VPN kindly guide suitably moreover battery drain fast

    The long backups seem to be related to the size of the apps you installed, not the number. That's why some people with multiple pages of apps experience fast backups. There does seem to be a bug with the current firmware that can cause a crash when doing app uploads and syncs. This bug seems to be exacerbated by having large and many apps.
    I was experiencing frequent crashes, but have no more - even with 70 apps installed - some of them large like the American Heritage Dictionary which is several hundred megabytes. I did the following:
    1. I set iTunes to NOT do autosyncs every time I plug in. This setting is in the Itunes preferences.
    2. I disabled the autobackups in iTunes for the iphone. I figured that if it did crash and it was going to take 2 hours to restore, why not just reload. The instructions are readily found using google search; it involves a command line setting. Anyway, the phone doesn't crash anymore since doing this.
    3. I no longer install apps using the iPhone. I first install the app in iTunes and the I manually sync it to the iphone. I avoid doing multiple installs at once; at least for the large apps. Right click on each app and get its info from within itunes. If it is large, it is going to take time to backup.
    4. I always first shut off the iphone and restart it before installing any apps in itunes. This clears any memory issues left behind from use.
    I am going to continue to do these procedures until Apple releases a fix for the bugs relating to the apps.
    As noted, since I took these steps, I have had no crashes. I was crashing at least once every 1-2 days before with the same or less number of apps. I too was a first gen iPhone user and was very frustrated with the 3G experience. Since doing the above, I am once again a very happy and productive iPhone 3G user. I know its a pain to do this, but the bugs will get fixed at some point. I would never go back to my old phones - they were just phones.

  • What is wrong with itunes. it says itunes store is not available. try back later.

    itunes store is not available. try back later. Everytime I try to purchase something this message appears. What is wrong with itunes?

  • What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed?

    When running Second Life or Worlds of Warcraft or just quick browing... anything graphically intensive on the MacBook Pro, the machine slows to a crawl, eventually completely freezes up. The cursor doesn't move, pressing the Caps Lock key does not change the Caps Lock light and the machine is no longer reachable from any other machine on the network. The only means available to recover is to hold the power button down until the Mac powers off and then restart it. This doesn't happen when running XP through boot camp and windows client versions of these programs. What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed? Thanks.

    I am not sure that this relevant to the discussion. But I am searching for anyone else who is seeing random freezes on 10.4. I usually don't see anything in the log after I have to do a hard reboot of the box. However, I have noticed some I/O messages when I have been able to console into an affected device, but have not captured to this point. Also, when I am able to console, the box will accept the login, but times out when trying to authenticate the password.
    I am also seeing a server freeze on my G4s. I am able to reproduce the problem with a clean install from the 10.4 disk. The issue is reproducible with tcpdump, dumpcap as well as tshark. I have also tried compiling the tools with different versions of libpcap. I am able to reproduce this problem every time with a packet generator sending small packets.
    It seems that the small packets aggravate the underlying cause. As the more small packets are sent the quicker I am able to reproduce the problem. With a mix of packet sizes, as seen in most networks, this issue is hard to reproduce. We have been using the G4 since 2003 as a packet analysis tool and it has been very stable up until we attempted to do analysis of a VOIP network with 10.4. The small RTP packets in conjunction with 10.4 seem to be the culprit.
    So far I am not able to reproduce the freeze on a 10.2 or 10.3 image. This is not isolated to bad hardware, as I have been able to reproduce on 4 different Xserves in my labs with similar configurations.
    I currently have a G4 set up in my lab and would be able to supply any info that may be needed to track down this issue. I have been thrust into administration on this box recently so I am not very familiar with debugging procedures on the Xserve or MacOS. However, I have the hardware and the test equipment that many in a production setting may not have at their disposal. So if anyone, with extensive knowledge of the Xserve or MacOS, is willing to work with me to track down this issue I am willing to do the leg work in the lab. I would appreciate any assistance that is available.

  • What's wrong with my browsers?

    When i first got my macbook the internet was going really slow but then i changed the dns server to 4.2.2.2 and sometimes change it to 4.2.2.1 and the internet got better but now my browsers are acting funny.
    One moment i'm surfing webpages with safari or firefox.... Chatting with AdiumX or MS Messenger... and suddenly it just stops... Msn is getting time-out's, Safari says I'm not connected.
    But Airport sais it is still connected to my wireless network (with all the black bar's filled). It has valid IP adress etc, But everywhere I want to go on the internet it sais I'm not connected.
    When I disconnect the airport en let it reconnect with my wireless network, the connection is fine.
    how can i fix this?

    Most users shouldn't be manually entering DNS addresses, and those DNS addresses you mention probably aren't intended for end users. Is Level3 your ISP?
    That doesn't answer 'what's wrong with my browsers?', but a good start would be to configure your network according to your ISP's instructions. If you have DNS problems then, you might try using OpenDNS.

  • What's wrong with networking since Leopard?

    Hi,
    I'm with Mac since years. I was a PC User once and spent hours with all kinds of network troubles. What convinced me with Mac right in the beginning was easy networking: It just worked!
    But since Leopard things got worse: I have several MBP's, iMacs, Airport Extreme's and Airport Express's at different places which I installed, and I face the same problems at EVERY place:
    - I can't connect to AExtreme for several reasons: timeout, security incompatibility, ...
    - Sometimes only two Macs are allowed to connect to one AExtreme
    - Airport doesn't find Aiport or any other networks for minutes
    - After connecting to the router, can't get an IP (self-assigned IP only) - other PCs get an IP.
    - Aiport Extreme crashes (yellow blinking)
    - connection loss (even when AExtreme is very close)
    Now I know about networking, about configuration, I've done this for years. Whatever I do, problems disappear and appear again, at different times, at different places with different hardware.
    What is wrong with Leopard? Such problems remind me of times with Windows98 and stuff like that.

    What's wrong with networking since Leopard?
    on my network and many i have setup there have been no problems with leopard. However there are always teething problems with new operating systems. Thankfully with leopard only a tiny percentage of users experience technical difficulties.
    can't connect to AExtreme for several reasons: timeout, security incompatibility,
    is it set to use WPA/WPA2
    Airport doesn't find Aiport or any other networks for minutes
    sometimes my macbook pro takes a while to show up any networks if there are lots in the area this is because it is scanning them all.
    After connecting to the router, can't get an IP (self-assigned IP only) - other PCs get an IP.
    What kind of router are you using? What happens if you powercycle the router?
    # Aiport Extreme crashes (yellow blinking)
    # connection loss (even when AExtreme is very close)
    Have you tried resetting your AE to default. reinstalling its firmware or checking for a firmware update?
    Have you tried changing hte wireless channel your networ is broadcasting on?
    What is wrong with Leopard? Such problems remind me of times with Windows98 and stuff like that.
    Did you upgrade install your leopard installation or did you do clean (erase) installations?
    Have you tried created new network locations?

  • What's Wrong with My Computer?

    I have a G5 desktop computer, I believe it's referred to as a "Power Mac." My mom purchased it some years ago, I think in late 2005 shortly after this particular model was on the market.
    Info is:
    Version 10.5.8
    Processor 4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
    Memory 4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
    Hard Drive 240 GB (127 GB unused/available)
    My mother wasn't using this computer for many years, and my 13" Macbook was giving me trouble, so she gave this one to me. It's all been great (she maxed out the memory and hard drive space when she bought it, even though it is outdated and insignificant compared to current models), except for one little thing... Browsing the internet is usually fine when it's only one window, but not always. However, it is almost a guarantee that while trying to operate multiple windows and trying to play a video, Safari will crash. And not just once in awhile. I'm talking about on a daily basis. During regular offline computer use, like Photoshop or iTunes, the computer will sometimes grey over (as if someone put a fairly thick grey film over the entire screen), and tell me I have to restart the computer. So what's wrong with it? I presume it is a physical issue (failing memory, mother board, etc.), but what?

    Your computer is not remotely "maxed out" with RAM.
    You're describing a G5 Quad like mine (though mine was built in June of 2006), and maxed out means having 16 GB of RAM installed, like mine has.

    That's called a Kernel Panic, and, yes, it is most often caused by hardware problems, such as bad RAM or mismatched RAM.  I can't imagine how you get to 4.5 GB of RAM without exponentially increasing the risk of mismatched RAM.
    RAM has to be installed in matched pairs, starting from the center slots and spreading outward: 4*3*2*1*1*2*3*4
    On the other hand, my own personal experience has led me to conclude that Safari is a piece of cr@p.  It causes problems just being active in the background, causing other applications to fail.
    Check your RAM carefully, starting with just one pair of matched RAM sticks in the two center slots, then adding one pair at a time.  Check your hard disk with Apple's Disk Utility.
    The kernel panics can be caused by a damaged directory too, so if you own Disk Warrior, run it.  If you don't own DiskWarrior, at least Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility and use Verify Disk/Repair Disk with it.
    I'd also recommend downloading and installing Applejack and run it according to the instructions.
    Good luck.

  • What's wrong with my iPod's Cover Flow??

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 32Gb, and recently updated to IOS 5.
    Since then, the iPod's cover flow feature is extremely slow, doesn't flow smoothly, and crashes after a few (15-20) seconds.
    Today I noted something else: some album covers appear pixelated and blurry, even though HD. Those covers looked just fine until now.
    As a side note, I have in use 30 of the 32 Gb (that's a lot of music, I know). Could this be related? I never had those problems before IOS 5, though.
    What's wrong with my iPod?
    Thanks for your help!

    so as I see it people with this problem have 3 options
    - Make all of your album art a maximum of 500X500 pixels
    - Wait for an IOS update that fixes the problem
    - Scrap ipods and buy another brand of music player
    Using photoshop to do it with, it took me about an hour to resize, change, and resync all of my 1400 songs(86 albums)

  • What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?

    What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?
    I have just started up a new project.
    Every time I try to ad a clip in top of each other a "general error" shows up. The sequence viewer turned red and it displays that I have to close and reopen the window to restore.
    The only "new thing" I do - is the use/brand of camera.
    Now I use the canon D5 mark 3 for my project (before D5 mark 2)
    What's wrong??? Do I need to update my Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 And how do I do this???
    Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Did you use Log & Import?  Or did you at least convert the D5 files before importing?  FCP doesn't work with those files natively.
