String table as input to the procedure parameter

• tables as input for the shared library function

  I played with the call of LV VI using matlab.

  So I built a simple VI which returns an integer as input and multiply it by 10, I then put in a shared library and named it MATLAB - well.

  Now, I tried to do the same thing with a table - I want to send a picture to the VI and multiplied it by 10, but when I build the .h file, it seems that the function expects get table of entry AND exit of table as inputs.

  so, how I can build a shared library VI who gets an array (of a constant size if this is important) and multiply it by 10?

  Thank you!

  A function in a DLL can only return a scalar value, not a table, no matter what languages are used. To return an array, instead calling it allocates the array pass a reference to the DLL and then after the function called the referenced table table contains the new data. This is why there are two parameters - the input array (actually a pointer to it) and a pointer (reference) to the output array. You must change your code in MATLAB, there is nothing you can do about it in LabVIEW. EDIT: Also note that it allows to re-use of the input as an output table, optionally passing a reference only to the table of entry and then by changing that. You can do it in LabVIEW by configuring the setting table as input and output.

  The data dictionary includes teas views:
  USER_PROCEDURES that has one row per stored procedure in your schema
  $user_arguments which has one line per parameter (or argument) to each stored procedure or a function in your schema
  USER_OBJECTS who has one line per package, package body, procedure or function in your schema. (It includes tables, synonyms, etc., but you can question him saying ' WHERE object_type IN ('PACKAGE', 'BODY of PACKAGE', 'PROCÉDURE', 'FUNCTION') ")
  USER_SOURCE who has one line of code in one of your packages, package bodies, procedures or functions

  There are also views starting with ALL_ (such as ALL_PROCEDURES, ALL_ARGUMENTS,...) for objects in any schema that you are authorized to use.
  There are also views starting with DBA_ (for example, DBA_PROCEDURES,...) for objects in any schema, if you have privileges on them or not, but you are not privileges to see the DBA_ views.

• string table

  The input string is abc = 4, def = 5. I would like to string array of production with abc and def elements. delete the number including the equal sign... For this I used string table spread sheet and the format used % [^ = d *]. Any suggestions?

  Hi nik35324,

  You are so close to the result.

  Just delete would be "of the format string % [^ = d *] and use % [^ = *] "

  This will solve your problem.

• simultaneous execution of the procedures

  I have a requrement in which I want to call different instances of a procedure of passing different parameter values at the same time. I am currently selecting data in a slider and make the entire process one by one. But this approach is time consuming. The only other way I know to fix the problem is to store the cursor data into a java array and then call the procedure for each value of the slider by Threading.
  
  The scenario is something like this:
  
  Create procedure prc_process
  is
  Start
  I'm in (departmentid selection of departments)
  loop
  ...
  some complexes of treatment which includes DML operations in the employee table, based on the departmentid
  ...
  end loop;
  end;
  
  Now, the employees table contains something around 20 million data.
  
  I want to have a such scenario for all departments in the departments table, I can call the procedure in this way:
  
  Create procedure prc_process (deptid number)
  is
  Start
  ...
  some complexes of treatment which includes DML operations in the employee table, based on the departmentid entry
  ...
  end;

  Personally, I'm not going to do such thing. I'd like to try to bring the list of departments in the basic procedure and try to do it in one fell swoop. Don't not passing one by one.

  But if this is not feasible and that you want to run the procedure for each service separately then Yes, submitting to a job is a way to allow a run in parallel.

• Cannot run the procedure several times

  Hello

  I use oracle 12 c

  I just created a stored procedure that works very well

  Problem is that the second time I run it, it does not what it should (data fusion)

  When I run the second time I always get PL/SQL procedure successfully completed but the target table is still empty, here is the procedure:

  1 create or replace procedure MERGE_TABLEA

  2 as

  3. start

  4 MERGE TABLE_A has B (SELECT 'ID', 'NAME' OF TABLE_B) with the HELP of

  ON (A.ID = B.ID)

  WHEN MATCHED THEN

                   UPDATE SET B.SID = B.NAME

  WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN

  INSERT (A.' ID',' NAME')

  VALUES (B.ID, B.NAME);

  END;

  /

  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

  I also tried to build a simple procedure that id just insert and name of the table to test ina and it works very well, no matter how many times I've run it

  Is it maybe something with the merger or what?

  Thank you!

  OK guys, I think there are some misunderstandings here,

  @ddf_dba_ifox , version of the db that I use is stated in the first line of my post, I can't publish data for security reasons

  
  

  @rp0428 I forgot to mention that I'M to truncate the table, and then run the procedure again but the merger no longer works as the table is empty

  In any case, I found out why

  I'm merging the tables in the DB using the schema that is related to my installation of Oracle APEX

  In the procedure if you notice there is no COMMIT

  As apex has users within a schema, that I couldn't see the lines without committing before

  Thank you all anyway!

• modify the INSTANCENAME parameter after the backup database

  Hello

  our primary database is configured as follows:

  SQL > show parameter db_name;
  VALUE OF TYPE NAME
  ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
  db_name string prod01

  
  SQL > show the INSTANCENAME parameter
  VALUE OF TYPE NAME
  ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
  instance_name string prod01

  the corresponding backup database is configured as:

  SQL > show parameter db_name;
  VALUE OF TYPE NAME
  ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
  db_name string prod01

  
  SQL > show the INSTANCENAME parameter
  VALUE OF TYPE NAME
  ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
  instance_name string stbyprod01

  Now, the standby database must be enabled. Later, I want to change the stbyprod01 to prod01 INSTANCENAME parameter.

  The question now is: what does take to change the INSTANCENAME parameter? In fact the database pending will be

  already be activated and be considered and treated as a stand-alone database. The former primary database will be used no more.

  I would like to do the following:

  SQL > create pfile = 'initprod01.ora' of spfile;

  SQL > shutdown immediate;

  Oracle # > change the pfile file and change the stbyprod01 to prod01 INSTANCENAME parameter

  SQL > startup;

  SQL > create spfile = 'spfileprod01.ora' of pfile;

  SQL > shutdown immediate;

  SQL > startup;

  That should be all - from my point of view (I know that LISTENER.) ORA and TNSNAMES. ORA should be modified, too).

  If someone has already experiences with the INSTANCENAME parameter change but sees some additional configurations: Please let me know!

  Rgds

  Jan

  1. you can use "alter system set instance_name" to change the value of the instance name.

  2. you must do the following to activate the standby database (NOTE:-this is only for the activation of the backup database and not the passage to digital database)

  1 startup nomount

  2. change the base of Mount Eve.

  3. change the database activate the database pending.

  4. change the database open.

• How to pass the content of the table as OUT of the stored procedure parameter

  Hi all

  I am writing a stored procedure where he must accept date as one of the parameters IN and it must interrogate the table of database on this criterion and should address data in a temporary table.

  in the end, he must send all the data from the temporary table as the OUT parameter.

  How to get there? should I create a new TYPE with all the columns in the Temp table and use this Type as a parameter? or SYS_REFCURSOR is the best option.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  The best way to do what you want depends on what you want.  Start by describing what you need to do.  It is best to post some data examples (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and what results you want from this sample data.  (See the FAQ forum: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002)

  If you have any ideas on how to do the work (for example, populating a temporary table) it may be useful to include those who, too, but a clear distinction between WHAT you do and HOW you do it.

  Bencol suggested, a SYS_REFCURSOR may be the best way to transmit the results.

  Since you only post your table, or even describe what you wanted to do with it, I will illustrate using scott.emp, which is probably on your system.

  Say you want a procedure that takes a DATE as an argument, then returned a certain designated columns (empno, ename, and hiredate in the example below) for all employees hired from the given DATE.  You can write a procedure like this:

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE hired_since

  (IN start_date DATE

  out_data ON SYS_REFCURSOR

  )

  AS

  BEGIN

  OPEN FOR Out_data

  SELECT ename, empno, hiredate

  FROM scott.emp

  WHERE hiredate > = start_date;

  END hired_since;

  /

  DISPLAY ERRORS

  You can test it in SQL * more like this:

  VARIABLE c REFCURSOR

  EXEC hired_since (DATE ' 1982-01-01',: c);

  PRINTING: c

  The output I received this test was:

  ENAME, EMPNO, HIREDATE

  Well you do almost everything bad that could be hurt.

  Here is the code that works to insert data into your table (the procedure is not even necessary).

  declare
  p_sl_num NUMBER := 1001;
  p_description VARCHAR2(50) := 'Testing Val1';
  inval1 test_type1 := test_type1();
  inval2 test_type2 := test_type2();
  begin
  inval1.extend();
  inval1(1) := test_object1('testx1', 'testx2', 'testx3');
  inval2.extend();
  inval2(1) := test_object2('testy1', 'testy2', 'testy3');
  
  INSERT INTO test_object_tpe
  (
  sl_num,

  main_val1,
  main_val2
  )
  VALUES
  (p_sl_num, p_description, inval1, inval2);
  commit;
  end;
  /
  

  See example 5-15 making reference to an element of nested Table Chapter 5 using PL/SQL collections and records in the PL/SQL doc
  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/AppDev.111/b28370/Collections.htm#CJABEBEA

  1. you don't even have the procedure because it is a simple INSERTION in the table you can do directly (see my above code)

  inval1(1).val1 := 'testx1';
  

  Since you have not yet created all the elements, there is no element 1 "inval1". You need EXTEND the collection to add an element

  inval1.extend();
  

  And then, there is an empty element, but "inval1" is a container for objects of type 'test_object1' not for scalars as "val1", "val2", and "val3".
  If you can not do

  inval1(1).val1 := 'testx1';
  

  You must create an instance of 'test_object1 '.

  inval1(1) := test_object1('testx1', 'testx2', 'testx3');
  

  And so on for the other collection

  You don't need the procedure (as my code example shows), but once you fill in the variables correctly it will work.

• How the parameter of the procedure with the default table type?

  If he should really be an associative array for some reason any (can't think why, but just for fun...) you could declare a dummy array in the packet header and specify as the default:

  create or replace package wr_test
  as
     type varchar2ltype is table of varchar2(50) index by pls_integer;
     g_dflt_varchar2l_tab varchar2ltype;
  
     procedure testit
        ( p_testarray varchar2ltype default g_dflt_varchar2l_tab );
  end wr_test;
  
  create or replace package body wr_test
  as
     procedure testit
        ( p_testarray varchar2ltype default g_dflt_varchar2l_tab )
     is
     begin
        dbms_output.put_line('p_testarray contains ' || p_testarray.count || ' elements');
     end testit;
  
  end wr_test;
  

  It is a bit of a hack, because it relies on a global variable that is exposed. A more orderly approach would overload the procedure so that a version does not have the table and another argument:

  create or replace package wr_test
  as
     type varchar2ltype is table of varchar2(50) index by pls_integer;
  
     procedure testit;
  
     procedure testit
        ( p_testarray varchar2ltype );
  
  end wr_test;
  
  create or replace package body wr_test
  as
  
     procedure testit
     is
        v_default_array varchar2ltype;

        WHEN 'ST;' THEN      pv_swde_section := 'ST';
        WHEN 'SO;' THEN      pv_swde_section := 'SO';
        ELSE  NULL;
      END CASE;
    end if;
  -- (...)
  END;

  The procedure is called breast:

  procedure importuj(p_plik varchar2) is
    linia VARCHAR2(1000);
  begin
    pv_plik := p_plik;
    pv_plikID := otworzPlik(pv_plik);
    loop
      linia := czytajlinie(swde_file);     -- calls UTL_FILE.read_line and return a line from file
      exit when instr(linia, 'SWDEX') = 1; -- end of SWDE file
      przetworzLinie(linia);
    end loop;
  end importuj;

  The strange thing is that this procedure przetworzLinie never change the pv_secton_swde package variable, because the expresion:

  WHEN 'SN;'

  is always FALSE, even when p_linia contains "SN;" string.
  
  I solved this problem by replacing

  CASE (p_linia)

  with

  CASE (substr(p_linia,1,3))

  Please explain to me, why CASE (p_linia) is malfunctioning.
  Thanks in advance :)

  P.s., database is 10.2.0.3.0 (64-bit)

  Check the length of the parameter p_linia and maybe a few extra spaces are added.
