I have created one function in the package.
function : Tier_wh
package : Order_DESC
Function defined as
function TIER_WH( message in out Xorder_desc)
...
...
end;
Xorder_desc is defined as
create or replace type Xorder_desc type
(order number(10),
location number(10),
wh varchar2(20)
);
how to execute this function which is defined in the package .
can we use htp package in function?
something like
if event_id = p_event_id THEN
htp.tableRowOpen;
htp.tableData(htf.bold('Evnt'), 'RIGHT', cattributes=>'CLASS=bptext');
htp.tableRowClose;
end if;

I have this following pakg
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_test AS
-- Create a table type of the table you want
TYPE tbl_test IS varray(100) of VARCHAR2(30);
-- Function that will return the table type
FUNCTION fnc_test RETURN tbl_test;
-- End package
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pkg_test AS
FUNCTION fnc_test RETURN tbl_test IS
-- type table_name_va is varray(100) of VARCHAR2(30);
-- Variable of the type tbl_test
[code]...
But i am having problem calling this to test it.
declare
TYPE tbl_test IS varray(100) of VARCHAR2(30);
var_tbl_test tbl_test;
begin
var_tbl_test:= pkg_test.fnc_test;

View 6 Replies View Relatedis it possible to obtain a called procedure/function name within package?
For a measuring and tracing purpose, I would like to store an info at the beginning of each procedure/function in package with timestamp + additional details if needed.
For example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "TEST_PACKAGE" IS
PROCEDURE proc_1 IS
BEGIN
[Code]....
I would like to replace "???????" with a function which would return a name of called procedure, so result of trace data after calling TEST_PACKAGE.proc_2 would be:
11.1.2013 09:00:01 START.*TEST_PACKAGE.proc_2*
11.1.2013 09:00:01 START.*TEST_PACKAGE.proc_1*
11.1.2013 09:00:01 END.*TEST_PACKAGE.proc_1*
11.1.2013 09:00:01 END.*TEST_PACKAGE.proc_2*
I tried to use "dbms_utility.format_call_stack" but it did not return the name of procedure/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.

The function is supposed to tell whether numbers stored as a string value evaluates to a date.I copied into an SQL windown in PL/SQL Developer and typed "commit;" after and then tried to view the results as I posted below to make sure the function worked.
However, I get an ora-06575 Package or Function GETDATE is in an invalid state.So would like to know first, if the code is correct? And if it is, do I need to do something else to make Developer take the code? Here is the code that gave me the error I used to try to test the function:
select GetDate ('010312', 'dd-mm-yyyy')
from dual
Here is the code I used to create the function:
create or replace function GetDate (vDate varchar2, vMask varchar2)
return varchar2
is
vReturnDate date;
begin
vReturnDate = to_date(vDate, vMask);
return vReturnDate;
exception
when value_error then
return 0;
end GetDate;
commit;

SQL Error: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist 00942. 00000 - "table or view does not exist" But when I try audit execute on dbms_java It's ok and it audit every statement that using that package dbms_java.

why DBA_OBJ_AUDIT_OPTS show DBMS_JAVA package object type is procedure ???
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).
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;

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
Explain with the best example for difference between translate and replace function.

I'm trying to un-escape the data of a table column using the package function - UTL_URL.Unescape . But the problem is my column is a CLOB and length of my data exceeds that acceptable by the function.
So, i'm just trying to simulate that function behavior normally. My logic is to scan all characters with pattern '%yy' (HEX) and then convert it into DECIMAL using TO_CHAR(,'XX') . But got stuck in this regexp-replace.
with xx as(
select '<p>%3Cp%3Ewefwef%3C/p%3E</p>' col from dual
)
select
UTL_URL.unescape(col) x1,
regexp_replace(col,'%([a-zA-Z0-9]){2}','2|.') x2

Is anyway to create function based index for group function columns.
