• Error when calling stored procedure of backing bean

  I use Jdeveloper 11.1.1.6 and tries to use the following URL to execute a SP of a bean of support: http://ramannanda.blogspot.com/2011/11/optimized-update-insert-adf.html
  
  The reason why I'm interested in this is currently I coded my support bean to perform insertions and deletions by the use of my objects in view. I am the scene up to a combined 5-10 K, insertions and deletions and performance is rather slow. If there is a way to adjust the display objects as well as the validation is much faster, it is the preferred method. If this cannot be done then I would understand the approach identified in the URL.
  
  I've highlighted a section of code below fails when you use the approach of the URL. It-error with the following exception: javax.el.ELException: oracle.jbo.JboException: java.sql.SQLException: internal error: incompatible catalog view

• Calling stored procedure - re-edited NullPointerException

  Hi all
  
  I am re-editing that my first attempt was quite low.
  
  I want to create a Java application that communicates with an Oracle XE database edition to:
  
  Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Driver loaded");
  Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1521/xe", "SYSTEM", "root");
  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "database connected");
  
  This all works fine and I can perform queries and transactional instructions within the instance of java.
  
  However, I can't call stored procedures that I will receive a null pointer exception. The stored procedure, I try to call returns values however I know it works as I can run it in SQL Developer. The code below is the statement that calls the stored procedure, alll the sources I looked at it's correct, I also tried, cs.executeUpdate and Resultset rs when you try to call the java statement.
  
  public void thread_actionsperformed (ActionEvent c) //generates son
  {
  Try
  {
  CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall ("{call PROCEDURE2}"); Calls a stored procedure that would generate threaded emails
  CS. Execute();

  catch (NullPointerException ex)
  {
  ex.printStackTrace ();
  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Threading algorithm Executed without success"); Error response
  }
  }
  
  The Java application cannot 'see' the sp? Or is it something to do with privileges? I was puzzled by this during some time now, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi Kev,

  I expected this - so is it possible that your dumb object is null when you are in the ActionListener who manages the procedures?
  How will you spend until you use it (line 332), are you using Threads?

• Call stored procedures in the object module and application of entity

  Hello
  
  I've implemented a helper methods that contains the EntiyImpl base class to call stored procedures.
  
  Now, I need to call procedures stored from the module of the application.
  
  Apart from the creation of a module base class asks and the programme of assistance of duplication of code in the method is possible
  to share methods of assistance for calling stored procedures between the entity impl and application module impl?
  
  
  Concerning
  Paul

  Support code depends on characteristics of an object instance given entity beyond its database transaction?

  If so, I'm not sure I see how it could be used with a class of application module.

  Otherwise, here's what you do:

  Step 1:

  Set up the database transaction - you can even choose to. So instead of

  {myHelperMethod (Object someParam) protected
  DBTransaction trans = getDBTransaction();
  ...
  }

  This is for change

  protected myHelperMethod (DBTransaction trans, someParam Object) {}
  ...
  }

  Step 2: make the method public and static - once you set DBTransaction, you should be able to do.

  public static myHelperMethod (DBTransaction trans, someParam Object) {}
  ...
  }

  Step 3: Remove your EntityImpl base class method in a utility class:

  Public MustInherit class PlSqlUtils {}
  private PlSqlUtils() {}

  public static myHelperMethod (DBTransaction trans, someParam Object) {}
  ...
  }
  }

  When you call the method of application module, object entity or class of same view object, call

  PlSqlUtils.myHelperMethod (getDBTransaction (), paramValue);

  Unlike Transaction.executeCommand (), allows you to provide features like the setting procedure of parameter values, recovery of the values of the parameters, etc.

  Hope this helps,

• Calling stored procedure with an input of DATE parameter

  Hello. A question about the Date input parameters when you call a stored procedure.
  
  I have a procedure that takes a DATE as input parameter. I would DATE this value to include a time element.
  
  My Application Module method takes an input as a java.util.Date (myParamDate) parameter - that will preserve a time element (?).
  
  However when I create the CallableStatement, I am trying to set the parameter using setDate like this (for the param 5):
  

              st = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement("begin cs_my_pck.request_values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?); end;", 0);            
              Connection myConn = st.getConnection();
              ArrayDescriptor myArrDesc  =  ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("CS_FIELD_TABT", myConn);
              Array sqlParamNameArray = new oracle.sql.ARRAY(myArrDesc, myConn, paramNames.toArray());
              Array sqlParamValueArray = new oracle.sql.ARRAY(myArrDesc, myConn, paramValues.toArray());
              Array sqlFilterNameArray = new oracle.sql.ARRAY(myArrDesc,myConn,filterNames.toArray());
                  
              st.setString(1, repType);
              st.setObject(2, sqlParamNameArray);
              st.setObject(3,sqlParamValueArray);
              st.setObject(4,sqlFilterNameArray);
  
              java.sql.Date myRepDate = new java.sql.Date(myParamDate.getTime());
  
              st.setDate(5,myRepDate);
              
              System.out.println("Report Date = " + myRepDate.toString());
              st.setString(6,repUser);
              st.setString(7,repAttach);
              // set out param
              st.registerOutParameter(8, Types.NUMERIC);
              st.execute();

  I understand java.sql.Date does NOT include a time element. But setDate() only accepts a java.sql.Date so my parameter of the procedure ends with a zero time element.
  
  How to call this procedure keeping the time element?
  
  Thank you.

  It includes the time element, if you want more precision with time stamp.

• java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550 and ORA-00900 call stored procedures

  Hi all
  
  I have 2 a stored procedures that I want to call from my Session bean. One of them takes a few settings, but not the other. When I call the procedures, I get the following errors described below. I tested the two stored procedures in sql plus and sqldveleoper and they work well. The funniest, it is, I have another stored procedure that I can call successfully from the same bean in session with no problems, so I'm a bit confused as to why his play now.
  
  I use stand-alone 10.1.3.4 OC4J and Oracle 10 g Db 10.2.0.4 and platform DB that I use is Oracle10gPlatform and Eclipselink as my JPA provider. I have also tried against toplink (not toplink essentials) and still no joy
  
  Here is the error I get when I try and call the procedure which takes the parameters of the session bean

            call.setProcedureName("testJPAProc");
            query.setCall(call);
            
            session.executeQuery(query);

  You guys can tell me where I'm wrong if I do something wrong. Why make these mistakes? because as far as I can tell the code (java and pl/sql) are both correct unless there is something I missed. It's kinda funny because I have another stored procedure I can call successfully.
  
  
  Thank you

  The first question is that the Boolean in Oracle is not a supported JDBC type, but a PLSQL type.
  Change to an INTEGER is probably the best, you can also use the PLSQLStoredProcedureCall class to access.

  The second problem is perhaps that the stored procedure is not valid, make sure that it compiled correctly. It can also be the type of your query, you must use a DataModifyQuery, not a read request that it returns nothing.
  If still no luck, try to call directly through JDBC, it works?

• Calling stored procedures with parameters with the database connectivity Toolkit

  Hi all

  I'm new to the forum and struggling to find a solution to a particular problem I have in this respect, using the LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolkit on a project, I am currently working on my work.  I have a database in which I tables and stored procedures with parameters.  Some of these stored procedures have input, output and return parameters.

  I tried to follow this example, but to no avail: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/07FD130746083E0686257300006326C4?OpenDocument

  Such a stored procedure I am working on the implementation is named "dbo.getAllowablePNs", running "SELECT * from DeviceType" (DeviceType is the table).  In this case, it requires no input parameter, it has an output parameter that generates the table [cluster] and has a return parameter that returns an integer value (status code for execution) to show if an error occurred.  The DeviceType table has 3 columns; ID (PK, int not null), PN (nvarchar ((15), null) and NumMACAddresses (int, null).)  I have surpassed many examples and I talk to the support OR try to implement this and similar procedures stored in LabVIEW but have not been successful.  I am able to connect to the database with the VI of open connection without error, but spin in some confusion as a result of this step.  I then try to use the VI of parameter query create to call the stored procedure and set the parameters.  I guess I would then use the Set parameter value for each parameter that is connected to the entry of parameters on the previous query with parameters VI VI?  I am also having some confusion during and after these steps as well.  I would greatly appreciate advice or suggestions that anyone could have in this situation because I am not a SQL expert.  Also, I would be happy to provide more information that might be useful.

  Kind regards

  Jon

  Here's what I use to do this.  I think I had to change him create parameterized query VI for him to work.  There is a post on the forum about this somewhere.

• How do we call stored procedure in owb?

  Hello
  
  I have 20 mapping and I stored that I need to call after 20 mapping completed successfully.
  
  I want to run my stored as 21st mapping procedure. I should not call my stored procedure in the 20th mapping as the mapping process.
  
  How to achieve this?
  
  What I did was, I created another dummy mapping and just create simple mapping (copy couple of records from a fictitious table to another table. dummy so I called the post, process mapping procedure. Is there another way, we can achieve this task?
  
  In informatica, we have retained the transformation of the procedure. Is there something equivalent in OWB?
  
  Any help is appreciated!

  Two options, you can: -.

  1. create in OWB.

  Under Oracle-> your name of the Module-> Transformation
  -> Function
  -> Procedure
  -> Package
  2. right click-> new (it will sail with series of screen)

  2 2 creer create database, and then import into OWB.

  Once you have created and then form be it you can drag directly and drp then to the workflow process as done with mapping.

  See you soon

  Why the hell you create a TWG in a stored procedure?

  Create once and be done with it.

  To answer your question, your create table privilege granted to you via a role. Roles are not in pl/sql, you need the privilege granted to you directly.

• MySQL temporary tables or call Stored procedures in CS4

  I need to filter the results by username before making a LEFT JOIN and including lines or IS NULL. The SQL works from the mysqli client, either by creating a temporary table using the "create a temporary table temp_appts select * from...» "Or by creating a stored procedure that contains the statement even 'create temporary table' and then running my LEFT JOIN statement against the temporary table.

  I've tried both in CS4, it accepts the code 'code' without errors but the page loads in a browser as a white or a 500 error in Internet Explorer. From my experience, this is caused by the exit before arriving to the html header.

  Is it possible to do either in CS4?  Here is the code I use.

  $varU_temp_appts = "-1";
  If (isset (<? php $_SESSION ['MM_Username'])) {}
  $varU_temp_appts = $_SESSION ['MM_Username"];
  }

  @mysql_select_db ($database_ess, $ess);
  $query_temp_appts = sprintf ("' CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE SELECT temp_appts * of appts WHERE username = %s", /GetSQLValueString($varU_temp_appts,"text") ");

  Why not just use a derived table, rather than creating a temporary table?

  Depends on the level at which the procedure should be called. If its at the State level, call the form in the trigger-REPORT-BEFORE (or AFTER-PARAMFORM) and store the off-values space reserved columns. These you can use anywhere in your report.

• Calling stored procedures

  I have a package with the procedures below.
  
  
  I have 12 instructions insert (named procedures P1 to P12) which insert in the TABLE A and TABLE B, each insert another condition where.
  I created P13 procedure in each package so that every month instead of every procedure P1 - P12 I call all the procedures in P13 and P14.
  Are there disadvantages to do? Any suggestions?
  
  package A
  
  P1
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE A
  )
  
  P2
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE A
  )
  
  P3
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE A
  )
  
  P4
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE A
  )
  
  P5
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE A
  )
  
  P6
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE A
  )
  
  P7
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE A
  )
  
  P8
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE A
  )
  
  P10
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE A
  )
  
  P11
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE b.
  )
  
  
  P12
  (
  INSERT statement... INSERT into TABLE b.
  )
  
  P13
  (
  P1
  P2
  P3
  P4
  P5
  P6
  P7
  P8
  P9
  P10
  )
  
  
  P14
  (

  P12
  )

  Are queries for table a similar inserts? Is the using the same tables and joins, but the different criteria? If yes then that Frank pointed out you should look combining queries. You can combine the criteria and use instructions BOX when it is required.

  You may also be able to combine a and b inserts using a multi-tableau insert.

  Not sure what look like queries, but here is a small example of how you might be able to combine the table an inserts;

  create table source_data as (
     select 'CA' state, 'F' payment from dual union all
     select 'CT', 'T' from dual union all
     select 'XX', 'F' from dual);
  
  Table created
  insert into a
    select my_seq.nextval id,
           state,
           case
              when state = 'CA'
                   and payment = 'F' then
               'REPORT1'
              when state = 'CT' then
               'REPORT9'
              else
               null
            end report_num
    from source_data
    where state in ('CA', 'CT');
  
  2 rows inserted
  select * from a;
  
          ID STATE REPORT_NUM
  ---------- ----- ----------
           1 CA    REPORT1
           2 CT    REPORT9
