Create Or Replace function error

• CREATE (or REPLACE) procedure_definition | function definition

  A manual I read says to use the function CREATE or REPLACE function, but my function will not compile with one of these. It compiles only when I use the FUNCTION itself. The CREATION or replacement is no longer used in Oracle 10 g?
  
  Thank you

  I tried in SQL * more and it worked for me too, but I usually use SQL Navigator. That's where I got the error.

  I'm pretty new to Oracle, so I probably don't understand some things too well. I realized that when I created the function in SQL * Plus, it appeared in SQL Navigator under functions. I created this function in a package, so I think it's a little different than the creation of a global function.

  Yes, OK if you create a function inside a package, then you do not have to give create or replace keywords.

• The shift from collection to function error

  Hello world.  I am a novice in PL/SQL and I get an error and I don't know why.  Here is my code.

  If you work in a single transaction, then you can insert the parent record first, without committing, then insert the child records and commit after these two inserts. So that you can control the order of inserts.

  If you cannot control the order of inserts, or there are other things happening under the operation, you can assign to the constraint CF to be can be delayed which postponed the assessment of the constrint until the commit

• 'HRMS Create Document' function errors

  Hello

  I created a web ADI to download the data of the DIS.

  The responsibility for the integration of Office I can create and use the document to download the data and its success.

  Now I want to assign the document to create the end user if I include the "HRMS create a Document" function in the menu of the responsibility. The function is displayed on the screen, but when I click it, it says "web page not found."

  Also, I tried to associate the custom function by running the Integrator "HR ADI seeded Integrator Associations of shape functions. He has successfully completed. I added the custom liability function, but it is not there. I saw the definition of function, its almost empty. When I updated the definition with some dummy URLs, it seems.

  How can I give access to the document create for just this Integrator for the end user?

  Hello

  the owner of the procedure should the privilege of creating its own synonyms if i_nonactive_user is defined on its own behalf (this case has no interest), and he has the privilege to create ANY synonym in other... At first glance, I would say that this is not a good idea.

  Note: you can also save a job: no need to redefine a synonym to point to the same thing, so I would limit synonyms selected in the loop:

  FOR rec IN (SELECT u.synonym_name, u.table_owner, u.table_name

  U user_synonyms

  WHERE u.table_owner! = v_table_owner

  )

• Conditional replace Function

  Good afternoon everyone,

  I am trying to assign which I am certain is a basic replace function on certain values in the first column of a table depends on the value of the second column. So if I run the SELECT simple below I get the following:

  -SCRIPT-

  SELECT Col_name_1, Col_name_2

  Table_Name FROM

  -Results-

  Col_name_1 Col_name_2

  13                    0

  23                    0

  44                    1

  47                    1

  50                    0

  Now, say I wanted to replace the values of "Col_name_1" for negative values if the value in the same line of "Col_name_2" is 1. Which gives the following result.

  Col_name_1 Col_name_2

  13                    0

  23                    0

  -44                    1

  -47                    1

  50                    0

  
  

  , What would be the most effective way to do it. I thought using logic in the sense of if (Col_name_2 = 1), and then replace (col_name_1, '-&col_name_1') the syntax of this is obviously incorrect, I was wondering how I could produce a "function to replace conditional" which affect only certain rows in the table of results depends on the State.
  
  Thank you very much

  Hi, thanks for you far pointers. Some real examples of data. Col_name_1 was actually 'TARGKEY' and Col_name_2 'CHANGESIGN' then the digital operations to find the reverse (*-1) won't work.

  I guess that means I'm trying to add a hyphen to the TARGKEY value indicates if the value of CHANGESIGN is 1

  To clarify, yes I'm trying only to change the values in the table of results and not "up-to-date" the table of origin.

  It comes to my script.

  SELECT TARGKEY, CHANGESIGN

  OF FDM_SAB. TDATAMAP

  TARGKEY	CHANGESIGN
  P0126010	1
  P0126015	1
  P0126015	1
  P0126015	1
  P0126015	1
  P0126015	1
  P0126015	1
  P0126015	1
  P0126015	1
  1078	0
  1078	1
  1078	0
  [NONE]	0

  Once more, always post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for the sample data and show the exact results you want from this data.

  If targkey is a string, you can prepend a hyphen with the |   operator, like this:

  SELECT THE CHECK BOX

  WHEN changesign = 1

  THEN '-' | targkey

  Of OTHER targkey

  END AS new_targkey

  changesign

  OF tdatamap

  ;

  It is preceded by a hyphen to targkey when changesign = 1.  That is what you want, or there are a few exceptions (for example, targekey already begins with a hyphen or is null)?  If there is no special cases like this one, include examples in the sample data, results and explanations.

• How to create the constructor function for a pl/sql table?

  I created a PL/SQL type as table below:

  create or replace type typ_tbl_des_text is table of the typ_tof_des_text

  OK so far, but I would like to have a constructor function which would be subject to validations and raise_application_error when a validation condition is not met.

  How to do this?

  The typ_tof_des_text that I created with a constructor function, so that the record-level validation are performed in the constructor. And I think the postings between several records shall be made in a constructor for typ_tbl_des_tex, but cannot figure out how to create such a constructor.

  BEDE wrote:

  So, if I have understood correctly, to a plsql table type, I can't have a member procedure. Or can I? I mean, just as for a type of failure I can have one or more constructors and possibly several procedures of Member.

  For the standard tables in PL/SQL, you will need to create your own API (using procedures and functions) to handle beyond the basics provided by the language. No constructors and methods as it is no o - o.

  After thinking a little deeper, I reformulate what I said earlier and actually wants to have a member procedure called add_item, who would be first to check if an item with a key value exists and, if so, it would be up-to-date and so not only extend the plsql table.

  Two options.

  As we already mentioned, an associative array can be considered - note however that this structure of table has name-value pairs.

  Another method is to use a TWG (global temporary table). You define the structure of the once initial table. When a session uses the structure of the table, private copying is instantiated for this session. When the session ends, this copy is destroyed. The table is a temporary structure for this session only.

  It can include indexes and so on – which means you can use the constraints of primary keys, unique indexes, secondary indexes and so on.

  TWG scales are much better than collections or arrays that require a PGA (expensive private server) memory. In addition, SQL can be used natively against a GTT - unlike the arrays and collections.

• How to create a sentry function

  
  Hi all

  I want to build a custom authentication scheme that combines a custom authentication and SSO functionality.

  1. If the REMOTE_USER Variable HTTP header is set, this user must be a valid user. (Single Sign On feature)

  2. If the HTTP header Variable is not set, the LOGIN Page should appear. (local user Administration)

  3. the combination user/passowrd of the login page must be validated by my own authentication

  I think I need to create a sentry function, which is a combination of the Sentinel-functions that are used in the projects 'tailor-made' and 'HTTP header Variable.

  I tried to find an implementation of these functions in the diagram APEX_040200 database, but without success.

  @APEX-team: can you provide the implementation of these functions-Sentinel or at least documentation.

  @all: is there anyone who have implemented a similar authentication model.

  Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  a sentry function sets whether the application should be allowed to deal with, because the session is ok. Since the 4.1, we have a function additional Invalid session which runs if the Sentinel returns false, before redirecting to the login page. A callback function can be used to continue the treatment when the login page is external. It runs when the external login is successful and redirects to the APEX. Authentication is used in combination with internal login pages to verify that the credentials of the user (username / password) are ok. If it returns true, the session is updated with the username. Otherwise, the login page must present again, with an error message. The poster disconnection feature runs after the user has disconnected. It is sometimes useful for the cleaning of data for the session or twist the redirection.

  In your case, the sentry function is probably not necessary. By default already checks if corresponding to the session id and session cookies, this should be enough. If you try to implement single sign-out, a sentry could check if the session is already authenticated, but the REMOTE_USER will be void. Invalid session function is called when the Sentinel (you're a custom or default) fails. If REMOTE_USER is not null, it can simply call APEX_AUTHENTICATION. POST_LOGIN to save the value of the header under the username, instead of making the normal redirection to the login page. It authenticates the user without checking with authentication credentials. The callback function is not necessary in your case. The authentication function is called when the user connects using the login page for the application (101). It can check the name of user and password for cases where $remote_user@-part is null.

  This can be implemented either as a plugin for authentication with the custom authentication scheme. The former is to be preferred to the production code, the latter is sometimes useful for prototyping. The texts point help plugin and authentication for the various functions include example code. If they are not enough, just respond here and I will try to come up with more concrete examples.

  SET FactTable: = ' x 1';
  
  
  BEGIN
  INSERT INTO & DimSales (column1, column2,...)
  
  Why not the ampersand substitution work in a stored procedure?

  No problem with the carpet. Display. But you don't need to create and drop them again. Simply create a time and refresh just before departure if necessary. I expect the creation and updating of points of view is fast comparibly. Also access to the seller_id should be indexed.

  Your original pl/sql block is slow due to several reasons. One might be that you agree to each line. Engage is an extremely slow process. He avoid as much as possible. Another part might be that you make all the changes of context of pl/sql. The obvious way to avoid this would be to BULK operations (bulk-select + Forall). It is not so difficult. The size of the collection must be limited to a lower amount.

  Best way would be to measure the performance of pl/sql parts using a tool such as DBMS_PROFILER. Then you can decide what part is slow and must be granted.

  A simple insert could be faster. Did you test that?

  example not tested

  INSERT /*+append */
  INTO &DimSales (K_Sales,REG,BVL,DS, VS,RS,GS,VK)
  (SELECT trim(leading '0' from RS||GS) ,REG, BVL,DS, VS,RS,GS,VK
  from &FactTable f
  join &testsales s on f.SellerNo =s.Seller_No;
  
  commit;
  

  You can run the other issues, but this is generally the fastest approach. Try to avoid the separate if possible. This requires a sort and will slow down the insert of a lot.

• Create a RELATIONSHIP Contact error

  Create Organization Contact API error: cannot create a new relationship for a period of time that spans the period of time of an existing relationship with the same id of the object, the code of the relationship and the id of the object
  
  I can't find this error on a forum - or on the internet also.
  
  Contacts relationship CRM to a party or organization have a date I don't see?
  
  J

  This error basically means that you create duplicate reports.

  When you create a contact org using the API to create contact, a record is created in HZ_ORG_CONTACTS and at the same time, that a record of the relationship is created in HZ_RELATIONSHIPS. This last painting has a start date and end date. Please check if already a contact relationship already exists between the Group and the HZ_RELATIONSHIPS table object.

  Note that when you create a relationship in HZ_RELATIONSHIPS, it is not necessary that a record is created in HZ_ORG_CONTACTS. This is optional based on a user in function parameter. I'll have to check if on this last point. I remember it was how it worked.

• CREATE or REPLACE 2 dependent object types

  I have the task to create or replace the 2 types of dependent object, i.e.
  
  CREATE or REPLACE TYPE myObject AS OBJECT
  (
  name varchar2 (200),
  Age number
  )
  
  CREATE or REPLACE TYPE myObjectTable IS TABLE OF myObject
  /
  
  If I run these two statements, the first time, they are very good.
  If I run them again they do not
  ORA-02303: cannot drop or replace a type load type or table.
  The reason is clear: myObjectTable depends on myObject
  
  If I now inserts a DROP TYPE myObjectTable before these 2 instructions, they work very well, because the myObjectTable of the object exists.
  But if these 3 instructions are now executed from scratch they deliver the error ORA-04043: myObjectTable of the object does not exist.
  
  Now I need a solution that can deal with two situations:
  A. types already exist
  B. types do not yet exist
  
  Is there a way to DROP TYPE something and remove the error "object does not exist"?
  Is it possible to use CREATE or REPLACE and use something like a 'FORCE' option to remove the dependency problems?
  
  Thank you
  Frank

  You can remove your ora-04043 following this approach:

  http://asktom.Oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0:P11_QUESTION_ID:286816015990 #51943736724660

  !! Don't forget: the example is on a TABLE, you have an OBJECT, where a different error code!

    object_does_not_exist exception;
    pragma exception_init( object_does_not_exist, -4043 );
