View 4 Replies View RelatedFunction To Return Last Friday Of Month
Sep 26, 2010I 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.
We are using Oracle 9i on Linux platform.

I am receiving IN parameters like 9856,9712,8723, so first I put single quote around the emp_no and pass that to where condition.
How can I resolve this issue?

View 2 Replies View RelatedPL/SQL :: Return Results Before Procedure Execution Completes
May 21, 2013Is there any way of returning output parameter values to calling environment before completion of procedure execution. I may achieve it by using GTTs, looking for any other way (because calling environment again need to issue select statement to retrieve data from GTT).
Example case:
Procedure have multiple ref cursors as out parameters.
....
...
if exp1=exp2
then
open v_ref_var1 for select ...from ... ;
end;
[code]..........
If the first if condition satisfies, ref cursor - v_ref_var1 data should be immediately available for the calling environment.
