  by definition a FUNCTION returns a value, but your code isn't working; Therefore, the error is thrown.

  RETURN MY_L_CUR;

  the top line should take place before the END; statement.

• Error when you work with Ref Cursor

  Hi, I tried the following, but the err

  DECLARE
   TYPE ref_nm IS REF CURSOR;
   vref REF_NM;
   vemp emp%rowtype;
  BEGIN
   OPEN vref FOR SELECT ename ,sal FROM EMP;
   LOOP
    FETCH vref INTO vemp;
    EXIT WHEN vref%NOTFOUND;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( vemp.ename ||','||vemp.sal ); 
   END LOOP;
    CLOSE vref;
  END;

  Error is
  

  ORA-06504: PL/SQL: Return types of Result Set variables or query do not match 

  Use you this structure as a buffer of extraction:
  PEMV emp % rowtype;

  This structure contains the whole line of EMP - all columns.

  That's what you're looking for cursor - 2 columns (not the whole line):
  Vref OPEN for SELECT ename, sal of EMP;

  You can not expect from PL/SQL to find out how to move the 2 column values in a structure that has more than just 2 columns. The error message is quite clear about this - read and think what is transport of the error.

  Hello

  It should be

  type Generic_Tab IS REF CURSOR;
   
  

  and is not

  cursor Generic_Tab IS REF CURSOR;
  

  In addition, your if condition does not have a begin and end, you can change it to

        if (Instr(Upper(trim(v_RawDataVrsn)), 'V') > 0) then
  
              v_SQL := v_SQL||Replace(v_RawDataVrsn, 'V', '')||''' ';

• REP-0737: must be a function of return type 'ref cursor.

  Hi all

  I have create a ref cursor query in reports 10 g. But it is giving error REP-0737: must be a function of return type 'ref cursor.

  Here is my code

  function QR_1RefCurDS return sys_refcursor is
  
   My_Cur Sys_Refcursor;
  begin
    Open My_Cur for select * from scott.emp order by deptno;
    return My_Cur
  end;
  

  fate of the screen.

  

  Oracle Forms/Reports has a complete PL/SQL engine and (only) the SQL parser.

  However, the engine of forms/States PL / SQL and SQL Analyzer are at a level that was in the Oracle 8.0 database.

  So, in the forms/States functions/procedures and forms/States triggers, you can not use SQL commands that did not exist in the 8.0 database.

  The predefined SYS_REFCURSOR type is introduced in Oracle 9i.

  Use this:

  PACKAGE test_rc IS

  TYPE of rc_type IS REF CURSOR RETURN emp % ROWTYPE;

  END;

  FUNCTION RETURN QR_1RefCurDS Test_rc.rc_type IS

  test_rc.rc_type RC;

  BEGIN

  OPEN the RC to SELECT * FROM emp;

  RETURN rc;

  Hi all

  If I open a cursor once can I collect the elements of a cursor n times as above? I see one of these procedures to print the details, but not both.

  Wonder why that I'm passing same ref cursor to a second procedure.

  It doesn't throw me an error indicating that the elements of the ref cursor is already read.

  Thank you.

  Your condition is not clear. Cursor is a pointer. He points to the result set of your query. At the time wherever you collect once, it advances the pointer to the next line and so on. I wonder if the pointer can return to the previous line once you recovered.

• Irregular data loss - function from PL/SQL returning data using Ref Cursor

  Database Version: 10.2.0.4.0 (node 2 CARS)
  
  The high-level process flow is as below:
  (1) insert records in a few tables & commit the same
  (2) call the pl/sql function to extract files (on certain conditions with joins with other tables) of the tables which are filled in step 1.
  -> It uses the ORDER BY clause to queries inline & line number 5000 records return for each call.
  Sense - if inline query is supposed to return 1,00,000 records then 20 calls to the same function. This, because the application cannot contain records beyond number.
  (3) the data returned by the ref cursor is then processed by application (Tibco BW) to generate the flat file.
  
  We are facing the problem of data loss in the file and there is no fixed model. It happens once between 200-300 calls process.
  Resolution: When the problem occurs, triggering the process and in almost every time re-outbreak of the process provides required data.
  
  Guidance on what could be the reason?

  Your SELECT statement is almost certainly incorrect

  SELECT *
    FROM ( SELECT A.HIERARCHY_KEY, B.KEY, B.VAL_KEY, A.KEY_NEW, C.ITEMID, B.VAL_TAG, B.sort_order,ROWNUM ROWNUMBER
             FROM AOD_HRCH_ITEM A, AOD_HRCH_ATTR B, AOD_HRCH_ITEMS C
            WHERE A.outputid = B.outputid
              AND A.outputid = C.outputid AND A.outputkey = B.outputkey
              AND A.outputkey = C.outputkey AND A.outputid = outinstrid
              AND A.outputkey = outinstrkey AND A.ITEM_SEQ = B.ITEM_SEQ
              AND A.ITEM_SEQ = C.ITEM_SEQ AND A.HIERARCHY_LEVEL_ORDER = B.SORT_ORDER
            ORDER BY A.HIERARCHY_LEVEL_ORDER DESC)
   WHERE ROWNUMBER < rownumbereend
     AND ROWNUMBER >= rownumberstart;
  

  Since the ORDER BY is applied after the ROWNUM is assigned in this case, your query is requested for a period of 5000 lines any arbitrariness. It would be perfectly valid for a single line to return in each of your 200 different calls or for a line to return in any of them.

  You definitely want to do something in the sense of the canonical askTom wire

  select *
    from ( select a.*, rownum rnum
             from ( YOUR_QUERY_GOES_HERE -- including the order by ) a
            where rownum <= MAX_ROWS )
   where rnum >= MIN_ROWS
  

  That said, it seems inconceivable that Tibco is unable to manage a cursor that returns more than a certain number of lines. You do a ton of work to return the data pages that are certainly not necessary. Unless you're saying that you somehow paralyzed your installation of Tibco giving him a ridiculously small amount of memory to process, something doesn't look good. A slider is just a pointer - it holds that no data - so the number of lines that you can extract a slider should have no impact on the amount of memory on the client application needs.

  As others have already pointed out, your exception handler is almost certainly do more harm than good. Return the error codes and error messages as from the OUT parameters, instead of simply allowing the exception to propagate deletes a ton of useful information (such as the mistake of the stack) and makes your process much less robust.

• Initialize the Ref Cursor to avoid ORA-01001: Invalid cursor

  Hello
  
  I write a stored procedure that returns a REF CURSOR. However, there are times when the cursor is not open if certain conditions are not met, so I wonder if there is a way to initialize the REF CURSOR so that the appellant does not receive the "ORA-01001: Invalid cursor" error when you try to work with the cursor, if it has not been opened.
  
  Any help is greatly appreciated...

  The most appropriate way would be the caller to handle the situation. The caller must capture the exception of INVALID_CURSOR and do what is necessary.

  Other suggestions like having a separate Pavilion or a model select all will lead the appellant to act to the particular situation, that slider is not being opened. What is the case with the exception of INVALID_CURSOR raised by oracle.

  All the need for the appellant to do is manage the exception of INVALID_CURSOR and you should be good. And also INVALID_CURSOR is not a mistake, it's an exception that has a special meaning for her. In the case you sense it takes the condition when not together to return a cursor.

  The cursor that you open selects the EMPNO and DEPTNO EMPNM in that order.
  When you retrieve the cursor, you get in L_EMPNM, L_EMPNO, L_DEPTNO.

  It would seem that the first two columns have been inverted in your FETCH statement. Assuming that EMPNO is a NUMBER EMPNM is a VARCHAR2, this means Oracle trying implicitly converted to the EMPNM in a NUMBER that is causing the error.

  If you change the order of the variables in your FETCH statement, the error should disappear

      FETCH L_CURSOR
      INTO   L_EMPNO, L_EMPNM, L_DEPTNO;

  It returns a list of values,
  
  If place the statement above in the package, it shows error when compiling the package.
  
  Error:
  
  
  Error (17887,2): PL/SQL: statement ignored
  Error (17887,13): PLS-00221: 'V_LIST' is not a procedure or is not defined
  
  
  
  Kind regards
  Fame

  Try this:

  DECLARE
     l_key NUMBER;
  BEGIN
  ...
  LOOP
     FETCH v_list INTO l_key;
     --
     INSERT INTO G_ID_TEMP_COMMON(TC_TYPE,TC_NUMBER_1_COL) VALUES('T_ID_REPORT_PARM_VALUES', l_key);
     --
     EXIT WHEN v_list%NOTFOUND;
  END LOOP;
  ...
  

• return ref cursor

  I want to return ref cursor based on explicit cursors
  
  
  create or replace procedure get_extract (in_val in varchar2, return_cursor to sys_refcursor)
  is
  cursor c1 is select * from jumbo.
  cursor c2 is select * from mumbo.
  
  rec_j jumbo % rowtype;
  rec_m mumbo % rowtype;
  
  Start
  
  If in_val = am' then
  
  Open c1;
  
  loop
  Fetch c1 in rec_m;
  When exit c1% notfound;
  end loop;
  
  Open return_cursor SELECT * from rec_m;
  Close c1;
  
  elsif in_val = 'J' then
  
  Open c2;
  
  loop
  extract the c2 in rec_j;
  When the exit c2% notfound;
  
  end loop;
  Open return_cursor SELECT * from rec_j;
  Close c2;
  
  on the other
  
  Open return_cursor select double null.
  
  end if;
  
  end;
  /
  
  When I compile the procedure above, I get the error
  
  LINE/COL ERROR
  -------- ---------------------------------------------------
  20/24 PL/SQL: statement ignored
  20/38 PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
  32/24 PL/SQL: statement ignored
  32/38 PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
  
  so its occurring in the open return_cursor for... statement, what is the problem with above?

  I wrote the above and it worked but instead of having a select into the body of the procedure, I love it in an explicit cursor

  You can't do that. The sliders don't work that way. On the closest you could get would be something like:

  SQL> select * from t;
  
          ID DESCR
  ---------- ----------
           1 T One
           2 T Two
  
  SQL> select * from t1;
  
          ID DESCR
  ---------- ----------
           1 T1 One
           2 T1 Two
  
  SQL> create or replace procedure get_extract(in_val in varchar2,
    2                               return_cursor out sys_refcursor) is
    3     l_cur_m varchar2(100) := 'select * from t';
    4     l_cur_j varchar2(100) := 'select * from t1';
    5  begin
    6     if in_val = 'M' then
    7        open return_cursor for l_cur_m;
    8     elsif in_val = 'J' then
    9        open return_cursor for l_cur_j;
   10     else
   11        open return_cursor for select null from dual;
   12  end if;
   13  end;
   14  /
  
  Procedure created.
  
  SQL> var cur refcursor;
  SQL> exec get_extract('M', :cur);
