Interviewer asked me "Tell me Diff. between Stored procedure vs. Function ".....I given technical answer which is mentioned in my Faq..But he asked me , dont gv me answer in technical manner..He was interested in which case u use Stored procedure and 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.

I need to call the VB function below from a Procedure's PL/SQL code and capture the returned variable into a varchar2 variable.I looked at the several means and nothing seems to work.
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: .(*%&................
I want Oracle stored function/procedure to calculate number of working days between two dates. We need to exclude Firdays and Saturdays as there are weekend holidays and also exclude official holidasy that lie between two dates.
All these stored procedures deals with insert/updated transactions . i need to create a new stored procedure to execute all this in a single stored procedure which will be something like
create procedure sp4(param1...param8) as begin Execute sp1 param1...param6 rollback if any error Execute sp2 param1...param8 rollback if any error Execute sp3 param1...param4 rollback if any error end;
Requirement is format given multi line text in the specified lines and each line be of specified character. Here words should not be broken, instead they must come to new line if lines are available.
Function could of the sort: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION wrap_text(p_text VARCHAR2 ,p_len NUMBER-- no of lines ,p_chr NUMBER--no of chr/line ) RETURN VARCHAR2;
I use stored function in where condition but it gives wrong output but output of stored function is use in where condition it gives correct output. i don't know how to use it.
Scripts:
select get_emp_mgr_no('MHR,ERT,TYU') FROM DUAL;
OUTPUT:
'MHR','ERT','TYU'
SELECT count(1) FROM BANK_details where notre in ('MHR','ERT','TYU');
count:
12345
select count(1) from bank_details where notre in '('||get_emp_mgr_no('MHR,ERT,TYU')||')';
count
0
It shows wrong output. how to use stored function in where condition?
Is there a way we can wrap pl sql codes and other people will not be able to unwrap it? because I came across this site successfully unwrapped my wrapped pl sql codes. How to just unwrapped pl sql code then what is the use of wrapping?
I would like to use dynamic sql for an select query with where clause and then use the dynamic sql in pl/sql stored procedure. how to create dynamic sql (select query) and how to use it in pl/sql stored procedure.
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.

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"?
create or replace PROCEDURE INSERTXML2( p_xml_in XMLType, p_table IN VARCHAR2 ) AS v_context DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType; v_rows NUMBER; BEGIN
[code]....
that works well in little XML files but in XML files that are bigger the stored procedures to not work because string maximum length in Oracle is 4000.
im working with Oracle SQL Developer and Sap Mii, the XML file is generated in Sap Mii and then i have to pass it in one step to database..
I'm trying to create a stored procedure that has two temporary tables within it, and then queries both them tables and inserts the results into a table. I created the script but when they try to run in on the server it wont run.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE UpdateFIDB_SP IS BEGIN CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE myAAAA AS (SELECT AAAA.1111, AAAA.2222, BBBB.3333_EXT, CCCC.4444, DDDD.5555, DDDD.6666, DDDD.7777, DDDD.8888, AAAA.9999, EEEE.1010, EEEE.1A1A, EEEE.1B1B, FFFF.3333_LO, FFFF.1C1C, [code]........
I am new to the wonderful world of Oracle. I want to be able to view the results of a stored procedure in an output window, say out of Oracle SQL developer. Unfortunately it appears I need to write some more code to actually view the data. Consider the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TESTSPROC2(c_test out sys_refcursor) AS BEGIN open c_test for select * from test_table order by id_no; END TESTSPROC2;
to view this I need something on the order of:
DECLARE cc sys_refcursor; r cc%rowtype; BEGIN TESTSPROC2(C_TEST => cc); loop fetch cc into r; exit when cc%notfound; DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('C_TEST = ' || r.data_element); end loop; close cc; END;
But this is weakly typed so I get all sorts of errors associated with the row definition of line 3. create the record based on the table (something like: r test_table%rowtype).
What I really want is a generic reader than can be ported around to output any sproc I put together.
On a more generic note, why Oracle has chosen to make PL/SQL inordinately more complicated than say MS SQL/Servers tSQL? I mean in tSQL I would just write:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TESTSPROC2 AS select * from test_table order by id_no; GO
and viola, a nice result set spits out in Query Analyzer (or a .net application).
After compiling a simple valid SP in Toad for Oracle 8.5.1:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_test AS DECLARE v_name VARCHAR2(20) := 'Ed Edson'; BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Hi, my name is ' || v_name); END;
The SP is not added to the schema. Also the three status fields (status, created and Last Update in the Procedure Editor remain <Unknown>. It is not a rights or privilege issue, because the creation works perfectly in SQL*Plus!
i have created a stored procedure with a cursor in order to perform a function where the annual_sal from the employee_annual_sal table is refered and checked. The empno for all the records which satisfies the condition mentioned inside the loop should be displayed in an variable. My code is below
create or replace PROCEDURE sp_test_cursor(out_empno OUT number) IS v_get_data number; v_get_empno number; cursor c1 is select annual_salary from employee_annual_sal;

What should i do to return mulitple values in a single variable??
