The function definition in PL/SQL has IN OUT parameter as well as return statement. Using both we can return the values. Basic definition of a function is function can return only one value at a time.
The question is, Can we return a number thru return statement and a char value thru INOUT parameter. Is it possible to return two different values using these?
Following is the scenario:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE OBJ IS OBJECT
(
TEST_ID NUMBER(9),
TEST_DESC VARCHAR(30)
)
/
[Code]..
I WANT USED VALUE TEST_ID AND TEST_DESC THE EXISTING IN FUNCTION FN_MY_DATA WITH A VARIABLES :
DECLARE
X NUMBER(9);
Y VARCHAR(30);
BEGIN
X := -- VALUE TEST_ID EXISTING IN FN_MY_DATA;
Y := -- VALUE TEST_DESC EXISTING IN FN_MY_DATA;
END;
whether a function can return two values?
View 4 Replies View Relatedi have a function which takes in two variables and return a varchar.
ex: Function(var1,var2) return as varchar2.
in the function,i query a table for var1 and var2 and concatenate the result set to return a varchar. But if either var1 or var2 is null,then my query in the function fetches the result set for the other variable.
My question is,how would i pass a null value through the function and handle it in the function.
I am currently studying a Foundation degree in computer software development, and one of my assignment in PL/SQL I am stuck on one of the tasks.
I have to create a procedure where one of the parameters needs to have a default value of one, if no value is entered when the procedure is called. I have trued to use the NVL function which worked when using a anonymous block, but now I have to convert that to a procedure. My problem is I'm getting an error.
The code for the procedure is
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE add_new_classes
(p_number_of_classes NUMBER := NVL(NULL,1), -- This will enter a default value of 1 if the user does not specify a number
p_course_id classes.course_id%TYPE,
p_period classes.period%TYPE,
p_frequency classes.frequency%TYPE,
[code]....
I then use this to test it
BEGIN
add_new_classes(1002,'first','daily',3002);
END;
and the error I get is
Quote:ORA-06550: line 2, column 4:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'ADD_NEW_CLASSES'
ORA-06550: line 2, column 4:

When I replace the params manualy with dates in format of:

I was just wondering that do we have any function available in oracle which returns the last Friday of the month.
In our company we close our monthly books on last Friday of the month and there are few activities that we have to do on the following Monday as a part of month-end activity. Now the following Monday can fall on the same month or at times it falls on the following month.
I have to schedule a report to be sent to a user on the following Monday after the month-end. I need to schedule it using the cron job.

Can a Oracle Function return Images? I have been getting and able to read lot of solutions but still unconfirmed. As in certain forums it has been mentioned that the difference between procedure and function is that. With procedures you are able to return images but not with function.

In Apex 4.2, the item validation of "Function Returning Boolean" and "Function Returning Error Text"; They seam to be backwards.
Is there a simple statement that can be used to fix this in the apex dictionary?
Is anyway to create function based index for group function columns.
For example
select max(timestamp),min(age),averge(sal).... ... .. from tab;
