• What is the difference between procedure and function?

  Hello
  I want to know the difference between procedure and function.
  Also, I want to know the types (if any) of procedures and functions.
  
  Concerning

  A function requires a return value.

  A procedure, while allowing the option PARAMETERS, mandates without return.

• Difference of procedure package Vs

  In addition to an overload and private subprogrammes, what is the advantage of the procedure/function created within a packet on Stand Alone procedures in terms of performance.

  What will be the difference in the behavior of stand-alone procedure/function and procedure/function inside the package if both are called by 100 different user one by one. Will the charge procedure 100 times for each call or not?

  Can someone give me more clearity on these points:

  Best performance - packages can be compiled and are loaded into memory in full and not piecemeal as other methods. This advantage if at all there is minimal compared to other services.

  Invalidation reduced - change a package body does not invalidate the dependencies to change a function or procedure.

  Hello

  Kimmy says:

  Thanks for the links that I read the post before and then I posted this discussion for more clearity...

  Any code that is executed is loaded into the Cache of the bookstores and remain in the library Cache until it is aged by the LRU algorithm. So if there are a 100 calls to a stand alone procedures be there in the Cache/memory?

  If not why not?

  If Yes... So how this behavior differs from the behavior of charge of the public procedure within a package?

  There is nothing special about 100 calls.  A procedure (or package) might be aged after 1 call or after 100 calls, or it can remain in cache after 1 call or after 100 calls.

  The difference between stand-alone procedures and packages in this regard is that all remains in the cache, or gets old, together.  So if you have requested that a procedure in the package, as this package is cached, then the 1st time you call another procedure in this package it will already be in memory.

  Other differences between packages and stand-alone procedures:

  A package can have variables and types defined in package specifications and so can be used by other users.  (With the help of ouutside of package variables to the package, instead of using functions, maybe not a good idea, however.)

  Change a package body is invisible to dependent objects.  If you change just the package body, no other packages or views will be become disabled or need to be recompiled.

• Updated APEX collection error ORA-04044: procedure, function, package, type

  Hi all
  
  I am trying to update the APEX MEMBER of the COLLECTION and encounter errors:
  
  
  1 error has occurred
  ORA-06550: line 9, column 8: PL/SQL: ORA-04044: procedure, function, package or type is not allowed here ORA-06550: line 7, column 3: PL/SQL: statement ignored
  
  The PLSQL code are as below

  v_date_finished VARCHAR2 (255);
  BEGIN
  SELECT c.seq_id

  );
  END;
  
  
  The process will take place after SUBMIT and validation.
  
  The code I used to add a colletion APEX will work perfectly and is as below
  
  -Initialization Collection PHASE_COLLECTION
  BEGIN
  IF THIS ISN'T APEX_COLLECTION. COLLECTION_EXISTS('PHASE_COLLECTION') THEN
  APEX_COLLECTION. CREATE_COLLECTION ('PHASE_COLLECTION');
  ON THE OTHER
  APEX_COLLECTION. TRUNCATE_COLLECTION ('PHASE_COLLECTION');
  END IF;
  -Add members to the COLLECTION PHASE of table PHASE_MEMBERSHIP

  );
  LIFT;
  END;
  
  
  What I tried to use APEX_COLLETION to check the overlap between the date_range.
  The requirement is just to display a warning if the user adds a record to the new phase or update record of current phase may overlap between the order of phase together.
  Table PHASE_MEMBERSHIP script is
  
  CREATE TABLE 'PHASE_MEMBERSHIP '.
  (
  ACTIVATE THE "MPM_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL,
  ACTIVATE THE "MPM_ENG_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL,
  ACTIVATE THE "PHASE_NUMBER" NUMBER (2.0) NOT NULL,
  "DATE_STARTED" DATE NOT NULL ACTIVATE.
  DATE OF THE "DATE_FINISHED."
  'NOTES' VARCHAR2 (2000 BYTE),
  'DATE_CREATED' DATE NOT NULL ACTIVATE.
  ACTIVATE THE 'CREATED_BY' VARCHAR2 (20 BYTE) NOT NULL,
  NUMBER (2.0) 'ACTIVE' DEFAULT 1 ACTIVATE NOT NULL)
  
  So, basically, I want to fill the documents associated with a particular to a collection of APEX called PHASE_COLLECTION MPM_ENG_ID.
  Then when the user specify date_started and date_finished, it will update/insert the APEX collection first.
  Then the rank based on audit collection date
  http://www.Oracle-base.com/articles/Misc/overlapping-date-ranges.php
  then display the warning to ask the user to confirm message.
  
  But then I'm stuck at the step of updating COLLECTION of APEX.
  
  If anyone has any ideas on what is wrong, please help.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Your syntx error line number should give you the trick - it is not a member of the update, rather the SQL - you are referring to apex_collection, not apex_collections view dictionary.

• Build a complicated procedure/function

  Hello world
  
  I am creating a complicated procedure.
  
  I have three columns:
  

  line     A          B        C
  1       5.5       3.2       -
  2       1.05     6.1       -
  3        0.6      7.8       -
  4        6.4     4.13      -
  5         -         -        8.98

  Column C contains a result. So, I need to find how this result was built. In other words, this procedure/function must answer the question:
  What are the numbers in columns A and B, which has contributed to achieve this result.
  In this example, we found that:
  

  C = B(1) + A(2) + A(3) + B(4) = 3.2 + 1.05 + 0.6 + 4.13 = 8.98

  (there is a condition: we cannot do so one number per line is selected.: A(1) + B(1).)

• DB procedure / function can return multiple values in a PL/SQL block

  Hi all

  
  

  I have a problem returning to the exit procedure following in PL/SQL because I have SELECT INTO variable but with no output back in my PL/SQL block even if I turned it into a function.

  
  

  . pls suggest.

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE nominations (p_start_date AS, p_end_date IN DATE)

  IS

  v_day_id PLS_INTEGER;

  v_day_name VARCHAR2 (33);

  v_day_date DATE;

  BEGIN

  SELECT (2 + (p_start_date + (LEVEL - 1) + LEVEL - 1 - TRUNK (LEVEL - 1 + 1, "IW" + p_start_date)) AS day_id

  , TO_CHAR (LEVEL - 1, 'Day' + p_start_date) AS day_name

  , TO_CHAR (LEVEL - 1, "DD-MM-RRRR" + p_start_date) AS day_date

  IN v_day_id, v_day_name, v_day_date

  OF THE DOUBLE

  CONNECTION OF LEVEL < = 1 + p_end_date - p_start_date;

  END;

  /

  Your insert would be something like this:

  INSERT INTO PR_OPS_APPOINT_SETS (SPEC_CODE1, SPEC_CODE2, CLINIC_NO, SECTOR_ID, USER_ID, APPOINT_DATE)

  SELECT r.SPEC_CODE1, r.SPEC_CODE2, r.CLINIC_NO, r.SECTOR_ID, USER, d.APPOINT_DATE

  PR_OPS_CLINIC_RECS r

  CROSS JOIN)

  SELECT TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (LEVEL - 1, "MM/DD/RRRR" + p_start_date), "MM/DD/RRRR") AS APPOINT_DATE

  OF THE DOUBLE

  CONNECT BY LEVEL<= p_end_date="" -="" p_start_date="" +="">

  ) d

  WHERE SPEC_CODE1 = p_SPEC_CODE1

  AND SPEC_CODE2 = p_SPEC_CODE2

  AND CLINIC_NO = p_CLINIC_NO

  AND SECTOR_ID = P_SECTOR_ID;

  In terms of getting the parameters p_SPEC_CODE1, p_SPEC_CODE2, p_CLINIC_NO, P_SECTOR_ID...? I don't have enough information on your part.

• Plan does not show the local procedures/functions

  Hello

  SQLD 4.1

  I use the preview to a plsql procedure feature. The procedure provides a local procedure.

  In the window structure the local procedure does not at all. Declared variables and cursors in the local procedure are displayed, but as if they where in the main proceedings.

  Local procedures and functions should be displayed in the window structure. It would be nice if the declares the variables and cursors of a local proceeding would be arranged in suchs a means, it is visible that they belong to this local procedure, perhaps using an indentation.

• solution in OWB, procedure/function

  I have different columns in different tables, with values 0 or 1.
  In the tables in the target, a 0 is no. and 1 Yes.
  
  What is the best way to implement this.
  a function/procedure on the database using as a transformation in OWB or
  is there a better solution in OWB.
  
  Another question: will I maps the columns separately or is there a way to map all columns through the 1 design element (transformation? expression?)?

  You will have problems with route mapping plug-in for the re-use of expressions since each use is considered to be a set of independent lines. That would leave functions as the first choice. ODI, reusable expressions can be made using the user-defined functions, with the latter in the code is placed online.

• Calc Manager differences Sub procedures

  Hi guys,.
  
  I was looking for the scripts for the rules in the Manager of Calc and noticed that any set of rules are of use (even if they are included in the routine of SubCalculate).
  
  From the point of view of a traditional .rle file, what are the differences? Are there changes when you use a sub procedure in the SubCalculate routine? As far as I know, there is no change.
  
  Thank you!
  
  Kind regards
  
  L.

  Manager of Calc's all simply a user interface for creating rules HFM, and therefore the traditional major subroutines continue to apply:

  -Calculate
  -Translate
  -Consolidate
  -Dynamic
  -Entry
  -NoInput
  -Allocate
  -Transaction
  -Capital own Pick Up

  Certainly when writing rules we can create more custom subroutines in subroutines main HFM above, but Calc Manager does not change this feature at all.

• Can be passed to the formula of the procedure/function the column value?

  Cf_value is back after some calculation using the main request.
  
  Can be passed directly the value of column of formulas of procedure without assinged to placeorder?

  ---
  PROCEDURE f_convert (val1 val2 in number, number) IS

  BEGIN

  val2: = val1 * 100;

  return (val2);
  END;
  ----

  A procedure cannot return a value, the return in my previous post clause was part of the function for formula column.
  Let's say you have a column of forms of so-called CF_2, then the function because it will be like:

  function cf_2formula return number
  is
   val1 number;
   val2 number;
  begin
  
   val2 := :cf_1 * 100; -- or val2 := val1 * 100 --parameters not allowed in formula column function
  
   -- All the other code that you need inclusive of calling function, procedure as in any PL/SQL block can be placed 
  
   return (val2);
  
  end;
  

  Any calculation can be used in the service of the formula column
