My question is, what limitations of this database? What's prevents me to use this db in production environment?
I'm currently assessing the design/performance of a Distributed System in which hundreds of Field reps have local Oracle DBs (10.2.0.4) on laptops & have to update a remote database (11.2.0.1) via a PUBLIC database link. Field data (millions of records) collected daily is synched from the local to the remote DB & vise versa through this database link. I have 2 concerns here:
1. Is the database link the best option for such a configuration? (recently field reps have been complaining about the slowness in synchronizing data between local & remote DBs). If not, what other options are available for such processing?
2. I've read a lot about security concerns with using PUBLIC database links, but haven't seen any documents to proof they're a majority security issue. why PUBLIC database links are considered not to be very secure?
I have read following statement from a link [URL]...
Oracle Database XE can be installed on any size host machine with any number of CPUs (one database per machine), but XE will store up to 4GB of user data, use up to 1GB of memory, and use one CPU on the host machine.
calculation of this 4GB size. how can we calculate this size?
by simply going to DBF file and seeing their size?
or
by exporting dump and seeing the size of that dump?
I am trying to do a Flash Chart in APEX 3.1. Is there a limitation on how many labels I can get horizontally. No matter what I do the number of labels I get horizontally is 15. We are trying to show the amount of days in a month.... Can I do that? If so how?

SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE((:BILL_VALUE),'J'),'Jsp') FROM sys.dual;
its givinig right result for
1023411->One Million Twenty-Three Thousand Four Hundred Eleven
but if i will change it to 10234111 then this query giving an error
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string.
Is there any limitation or is there any other built in function to get the number to a word.
I'm dealing with an ORA-1000 error in a Pro*C application where all the cursors are correctly closed (or so it seems to me).
Here is the code for a simple program which reproduces the problem:
Each cursor is opened in a PL/SQL package:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE emp_demo_pkg AS
TYPE emp_cur_type IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE open_cur(curs IN OUT emp_cur_type, dept_num IN NUMBER);
END emp_demo_pkg;
[Code]....
While testing the initialization parameter open_cursors is set to 50.
It's my understanding that Oracle doesn't close the cursors until it needs the space for another cursor, which in my test case seems to happen when I enter a value of 50 or bigger for "number of loops". To see how oracle is reusing the cursors, while the test program is running I run SQL*Plus and query v$sesstat for the session that's running the test with the following sentence:
select name, value
from v$sesstat s, v$statname n
where s.statistic# = n.statistic#
and sid = 7
and name like '%cursor%';
Even before I enter a value for number of loops I can see that the session opened 4 cursors and closed 2 of them:
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
opened cursors cumulative 4
opened cursors current 2
Entering a value of 5 for number of loops yields
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
opened cursors cumulative 11 <----- 7+
opened cursors current 8 <----- 6+
With a value of 30
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
opened cursors cumulative 36 <----- 25+ (apparently, Oracle reused at least 5 cursors)
opened cursors current 33 <----- 25+
With a value of 47
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
opened cursors cumulative 53 <----- 17+
opened cursors current 50 <----- 17+
Now I reached the upper limit set by the initialization parameter open_cursors.
Entering a value of 48, I get the ORA-1000 error.
ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.EMP_DEMO
Since I open and close the cursor in the same loop iteration, I expect to find in every iterarion 1 explicit cursor and a number of implicit cursors (the PL/SQL call along with the so-called recursive cursors), but I don't expect the sum of all of them to be greater than 50. If my understanding is correct Oracle should be reusing the 50 cursors previously marked as "closeable", not raising the ORA-1000 error.
Is it possible to:
-define a cursor with bind variables
-get a cursor record from these cursor
-and pass the bind variable in the OPEN clause
Did'nt succeed as shown in the example.

just looking around to use the new feature available in oracle 11g to convert the dbms_sql numeric cursor to reference cursor, how to do it?
parse and execute the sql string first with dbms_sql and then convert it to ref cursor?
I want to return ref cursor based on explicit cursors
create table jumbo(id number, name varchar2(20));
insert into jumbo values(1,'jumbo');
create table mumbo(id number, name varchar2(20));

We receive hand punches (clock data) every day. Normally a person badges in(hand punch) which creates a row in the clock_tran_processed table. The information from that hand punch is the employee id (emp_id) the date hand punch occurred and a work_summary id (wrks_id). At the end of the day, the employee badges out (hand punch out) and another entry in the clock_tran_processed table is created. The new row will have the emp_id (employee name), date the hand punch occurred and the same work summary id from the morning.
Normally hand punches should occur in pairs. One in, one out... or one in, out for lunch, in for lunch, out for day. I am seeing intervals of three and five. Meaning the employee clocked in twice and out once, or in once and out twice. This shouldn't happen.
I am writing a report that will show number of clocks per for all employees that have three(3) or five(5) clock entries.I wrote a ref cursor that gives all the employees that have a count of 3 or 5 and the employee id (emp_id). I need to pass that employee id to another query that will then get me the dates of the clocks.Here is the ref cursor thus far (I am printing those with a count of 3 and 5).
CODEDECLARE
TYPE ClockTran_Refcur IS REF CURSOR;
ClockTran_cur ClockTran_Refcur;
NumClock_num number :=0;
NumClock_name clock_tran_processed.emp_id%TYPE;

How do I pass that variable to the get the clktranpro_time's? I am using "Easy Oracle PL/SQL Programming" but I am not seeing this type of example(pgs 140-148).
In our environment we have db link to fetch data from other database. Whenever we try to fetch data using the dblink we receive the wait event "cursor: pin S wait on X" and we do not get any result. The db link works fine. what could be the issue.

i am using the Oracle 10 g 10.2 with the windows 2003 3 sessions from a single User shows the currenncy on the top activity graph of the enterprice manager they are not getting so much resources of system....when i go in the detail of the session i get
cursor: pin S wait on X
i am unable to kill these sessions how could i get rid of these sessions
My task has more lines of code,so i tried to present here only few lines of code where i am getting the error.The following cursor needs to select data from two tables with some conditions that are included in cursor and place those in other table.I used BULK collect.

p_nbr_days_arch1 NUMBER,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Oracle 11G. I have set of tables in a schema - DDXX_UTIL.
Table Names wll be with the high level qualifiers DDXX_REJ_EMP*
DDXX_REJ_EMPLOYEE
DDXX_REJ_EMPLOYEE_DEPEND
DDXX_REJ_EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS
DDXX_REJ_EMPLOYEE_SAL
DDXX_REJ_EMPLOYEE_EXP
My requirement is to get the number of rejections happened on that day after the batch cycle for the tables with the high level qualifier DDXX_REJ_EMP* and list out each table followed by the rejection cause and count.

ID LIST MISSING 25
MANDAORY FIELDS IS NULL 56
TABLE NAME : DDXX_REJ_EMPLOYEE_DEPEND
REJECTION_CASUE COUNT

I would like to know whether a value obtained from one cursor can be passed to the other cursor as a parameter and by passing it i want to retrieve a list of records and print only the records obtained from the second cursor where the value is passed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a function :
FUNCTION WP19DUMMY(vname IN VARCHAR2) RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a procedure which has an out value of a ref cursor (made up of different columns from different tables). I would like to call that procedure from another procedure and loop through each row.
I know how to call my stored procedure but I don't know how to loop through it.
Iam passing the varray to cursor as show below.
type t is varray(50) of number;
t1 t;
cursor c1(t3 t) is select name from temp2 where id in(t3(1),t3(2));
name1 varchar2(20);
begin
t1 :=t(501,384,3242,106);
[code]......
my question varray size is 50, while creating the cursor i have to pass the 50 values like t3(1),t3(2).....t3(50). I have tried to use t3.first..t3.last in IN condition but throwing some error, any other method/hints to pass the values dynamically to cursor IN condition.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE test_package IS
TYPE refcur IS REF CURSOR;
END test_package;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_info(o_cursor OUT test_package.refcur)

BEGIN
OPEN o_cursor FOR
SELECT * FROM emp;
END get_info;
What is the advantage of using refcursor variable as OUT parameter in procedure. Instead of that why cannot we use variables or TYPE variables. use ref cursor as OUT parameter in procedure.
procedure vieworderstatus(in_CALL_ID IN NUMBER ,
in_DAYS_OF_HISTORY in number ,
out_SUPLY_REORDR_STATUS_LST OUT supplyreordrlist ,
out_ERR_CODE OUT NUMBER,
out_ERR_MESSAGE out varchar2);
This procedure takes retrievs cust_id for given input call_id. The procedure then retrieves order information for that customer and returns using the out ref cursor. I need to test the scenario where the user passes invalid call_id.
The following query returns no data for call_id = 12345 ( invalid call_id)
select fk_cust_id into v_cust_id
from xcom_call
where call_id = in_CALL_ID;
in such cases; I just need to return null ref cursor and log the error but right now when I pass invalid call_id ; I am getting "invalid cursor" error.How do I handle this ?
When a cursor returns no records, how to handle this in Cursor for loop..
I had given sample code for handling this by using normal open,fetch statement, provide by applying for -Cursor For loop
DECLARE
P_BU_ID NUMBER;
P_SUMRY_DATA_TY_ID NUMBER;
P_OP_DATE VARCHAR2(32767);
P_PROC_DATE VARCHAR2(32767);
P_FIN_YEAR NUMBER;

I am an experienced SAS programmer jumping into PL/SQL for the first time and have already encountered a problem.Let's assume I have 7 records (shown below). (In reality, I have millions of records, but the concept's the same.) The Value field is only populated when it changes. Therefore, I am forced to "fill in the gaps" as I read the data file. It's fairly straightforward. I carry the value foward one record at a time, using it if the Value field in not populated. The ANSWER I want is also shown.
In reading through a PL/SQL book, I realized that only 2 chapters are relevant to what I do. My guess is this solution involves cursors; probably a Cursor FOR loop,

I have a table with more than 200 columns. I would like to declare a cursor to query all the columns for each record (if c1%found then ....). As the table has more than 200 columns is it a good practice to declare a cursor
