Difference Between Stored Procedure And Function?
Jan 12, 2010
I have to call oracle stored procedure or a function to update user id of one or several rows depending on what user selects.
The oracle person will be writing the stored procedure or function. I am a java developer but was never involved in writing oracle functions. So..
I want to know what is the difference betn stored procedure and function?
From java point of view are there any guidelines when to prefer one over the other(betn stored procedure and function).

I know difference between procedure and function.if we want a return value from procedure, we can have OUT parameter. Similarly with function, in addition to returning a value from function, it can also send an OUT parameter value as a return value. That means, in one or the other way we are able to get a return value from both program units. Normally, I would fill a OUT variable with error message when an exception occurs. I use this varaible,after procedure call, to detect if an exception occurred or not. Similar task can be performed by a function, it returns a true/false and a value thru OUT variables.
both program units return values in the form of OUT parameters. Where exactly should we use a function, where exactly should we use a procedure?

difference between Procedure and Function.We Know that Procedure is Basically Used to perform Actions and Functions are Basically Used for Calculations but what would be the exact difference since Actions/Calculations can be done in both Procedure and Functions.Which factors decide whether we need to write a Procedure and in which cases we need Function.

I have wrote a Stored Procedure Function that get all the rows from a Staging Table and assigns it to a CLOB and returns the CLOB. The issue is I'm getting the dreaded
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "F_CLOB_TEST", line 21
ORA-06512: at line 7
The error does not occur when I remove the 'PRC_ID', 'S_FIL_NAME' & 'exportDt' from the query. It works fine. The PRC_ID has data such as "700$702$7 05$706$707$708$709$710$711$712$713$714$715$294404$294405$294407$294408$294409$294410"
and S_FIL_NAM is the same for all columns - "SBENE_FILID810-2010-04-07-10.59.17"
The query returns 829 rows. Also I have to include a few more columns in the query which have data larger than the 'PRC_ID', but I have not included them here in the sample code, as this code by itself returns the ORA-6502 error.
create or replace
FUNCTION "F_CLOB_TEST" (job_id in Number)
return clob
is
c_clob clob;
[code]....

I have 2 databases:
Database A
Database B
In Database A I have a series of config tables and stored procedures/functions In Database B I have a lot of tables.
I would like to execute my stored procedures and all associated functions in database A on my data in database B.
Now I've figured out that creating a database link enables me to do SQL selects on data in both A and B...but how do I run SP/Funcs ? I've read something about packages but not sure if I'm heading in the right direction.
Do I need to create a simple synonym ? Can I use the existing DB link ? or is there a special way of calling them, or...
I like the A/B database set up since I can keep battle tested code in one location and have it work across multiple dbs...saves me having to create everything in every database.

There are 2 Oracle databases with pseudo names Remote and Local. I have a function in Remote called FUS.F_Return_10 which simply returns 10 for testing purposes, where FUS is a schema name. In Local I want to create a procedure that will call the above function. Here's the PL/SQL:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST
(
V_COUNT OUT NUMBER
)
AS
V_FOO NUMBER(2,0);
BEGIN
[Code]...
There's a Public Database Link called PER_ACC in Local. When I try to create this procedure I get: Encountered symbol "@" when expecting one of the following: .(*%&................
where my mistake is?

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM APP.Big_table; Number of record--222653402
This is a big table to get the it's taking 8 minutes time, so that I tried the following SQL to get the count quickly.
SELECT num_rows FROM all_tables WHERE table_NAME='BIG_TABLE'
and owner='APP'; --Number of records 237213998
But I got the different count for the two SQLs. Why there is a difference in the count. Which one is correct.

Want to understand difference between Concat function and "||" operator. I am getting the same result for both. Below is the test case for your reference.
Select 'H '||' S' From Dual;
--Output H S
Select Concat('H ',' S') A From Dual;
--Output H S
Select Length('H '||' S') A From Dual;
--Output 6
Select Length(Concat('H ',' S')) A From Dual;
--Output 6

I've written a Java stored procedure that deletes some provided file. The PL/SQL procedure looks like :
procedure delete (file in varchar);
The procedure does the work correctly when the provided file name exists on the DB server, but doesn't when the file is ou of the DB server.
Is there a way to resolve this ?

I entered the following procedure code into SQLPLUS for compilation, but it just hangs. I suspect the cause is an infinite loop, but I can't locate it.

prod_key,
order_day_key,

I have a sequence my_seq in schema schema1. I have granted select on this sequence to schema2. Doing :
select schema1.my_seq.nextval from dual
in schema2 work as expected. However when I try to compile a package body in schema2 using my_seq in an insert statement, it fails with:
PLS-00302: component 'MY_SEQ' must be declared
What's even stranger is that I have stored procedures that are using the exact same code that are currently compiled and working. Recompiling them yields this error. How is this possible?

connect the following concepts/information I've been collecting. This is not my field but I'm interested in filling some of mine conceptual/technical gaps.
From a JDBC perspective, one of the benefits of Prepared (and so Callable) statements have over the regular ones is that the statement is "compiled"(*) once and then reused (performance gain).
(*) for SQL statements: building of parse tree and exec.plan
In which way can this notion be extrapolated to invocation of Oracle Stored Procedures through CallableStatements? (After clearing my doubts, I may end concluding that the only relevant feature of CallableStatements is their capacity to deal with stored procedure invocations)
According to procedure's precompiled execution plan SQL compilation implies execution plans generation PL/SQL compilation implies P-code generation and, SQL statements (from PLSQL code) are treated no differently by Oracle than SQL from Java or C/C++. These SQLs will be parsed and execution plans for those SQLs created.
...
When the PL code executes the SQL statement, only then does the SQL engine receive the SQL, parse it, and create an execution plan for it.
Therefore, even when the stored procedure can be parsed and cached in SGA (through the OracleConnection.preparedCall("proc") invocation), the SQL statements won't be effectively compiled until they are executed, right? And going deeper, will those SQL statements be cached to be reused in future invocations of the containing stored procedure? Is this a characteristic of the regular stored procedure execution in Oracle? or is it due to the CallableStatement "origin"?
