How to set value in out parameter in oracle - oracle

I want to create a stored procedure on oracle which return the value in a out parameter. I was able to create a sample query but I am able to set the value to output variable. And the output should be converted into JSON
Here is my code
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE GET_TABLE_NAMES(JSON_DATA OUT CLOB )
-- OUT OUT_IS_SUCCESS BOOLEAN,
-- OUT OUT_ERROR_MESSAGE VARCHAR(4000)
AS
l_cursor_1 SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
--JSON_DATA :=
OPEN l_cursor_1 FOR SELECT JSON_ARRAYAGG(
JSON_OBJECT('TABLE_NAME' VALUE T.TABLE_NAME)
) INTO JSON_DATA
FROM
(
select TABLE_NAME FROM all_tables
) T
;
JSON_DATA := TO_CLOB(l_cursor_1);
--dbms_sql.return_result(l_cursor_1);
END GET_TABLE_NAMES;
I want to get output in 3 variables
JSON_DATA contain out in JSON format
OUT_IS_SUCCESS Boolean flag if no error occurred
OUT_ERROR_MESSAGE if any error message
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

You can tell json_arrayagg to return a CLOB, and select that directly into your OUT parameter. The other two commented-out parameters are malformed; the OUT is in the wrong place, and the string should not have a size.
You can do something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE GET_TABLE_NAMES(
P_JSON_DATA OUT CLOB,
P_IS_SUCCESS OUT BOOLEAN,
P_ERROR_MESSAGE OUT VARCHAR2
)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT JSON_ARRAYAGG(
JSON_OBJECT('TABLE_NAME' VALUE TABLE_NAME)
FORMAT JSON
RETURNING CLOB
)
INTO P_JSON_DATA
FROM all_tables;
P_IS_SUCCESS := TRUE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
P_IS_SUCCESS := FALSE;
P_ERROR_MESSAGE := SQLERRM;
END GET_TABLE_NAMES;
/
db<>fiddle, with an extra bit of dummy code to force an exception on the second call.
But catching exceptions, particularly with when others, just to turn them into basic strings with no context such as the position the error occurred, is rarely a good idea - it would be simpler to just let any exception flow back to the caller:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE GET_TABLE_NAMES(
P_JSON_DATA OUT CLOB
)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT JSON_ARRAYAGG(
JSON_OBJECT('TABLE_NAME' VALUE TABLE_NAME)
FORMAT JSON
RETURNING CLOB
)
INTO P_JSON_DATA
FROM all_tables;
END GET_TABLE_NAMES;
/
db<>fiddle
... unless you have a good reason to hide useful debugging information.

How can I test my package with one function?

I made a package that compiles fine but when I try to test it it gives me "invalid data type".
I've tried two different ways, first one like this
select pkg_contabilidad.f_totalizar_Detalle(100) FROM DUAL;
It gives me the ORA-00902 'invalid data type'
Also I've tried this
DECLARE
TYPE r_registro IS RECORD
(rubro_contable CN_RUBROS_CONTABLES.COD_RUBRO%TYPE,
tipo VARCHAR2(1),
monto NUMBER(16));
resultao r_registro;
numero NUMBER :=100;
BEGIN
resultao := pkg_contabilidad.f_totalizar_detalle(numero);
END;
It gives me another error PLS-00382 'expression is of wrong type'
I don't know what am I doing wrong, cause my function receives just one parameter and is of type NUMBER, so I dont know where's my mistake. I'll leave the code of my package just in case
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_contabilidad AS
TYPE r_registro IS RECORD
(rubro_contable CN_RUBROS_CONTABLES.COD_RUBRO%TYPE,
tipo VARCHAR2(1),
monto NUMBER(16));
TYPE t_detalle IS TABLE OF
r_registro INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
FUNCTION f_totalizar_detalle(p_clave NUMBER)RETURN t_detalle;
END pkg_contabilidad;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pkg_contabilidad AS
B_detalle t_detalle;
i integer :=1;
FUNCTION f_totalizar_detalle(p_clave NUMBER) RETURN t_detalle IS
v_detalle t_detalle;
CURSOR c_facturado IS
SELECT c.cod_rubro, 'H', CASE WHEN SUM(d.gravada)=0 THEN SUM(d.iva) ELSE SUM(d.gravada) END
FROM fn_documentos_det d JOIN fn_conceptos c ON d.cod_concepto = c.cod_concepto
WHERE d.clave_doc=p_clave
GROUP BY c.cod_rubro;
CURSOR c_datos IS
SELECT SUM(d.total_doc), 'D',r.cod_rubro
FROM fn_documentos d JOIN fn_cajas_ctas r ON d.num_caja_cta = r.num_caja_cta
WHERE d.clave_doc = p_clave
GROUP BY r.cod_rubro;
BEGIN
open c_datos;
LOOP
FETCH c_datos INTO v_detalle(1);
END LOOP;
CLOSE c_datos;
FOR fila IN c_facturado LOOP
i := i + 1;
v_detalle(i) := fila;
END LOOP;
END;
END PKG_CONTABILIDAD;
The function returns a pkg_contabilidad.t_detalle, so the test needs to be:
declare
resultao pkg_contabilidad.t_detalle;
numero number := 100;
begin
resultao := pkg_contabilidad.f_totalizar_detalle(numero);
end;
It doesn't work in SQL because pkg_contabilidad.t_detalle is a PL/SQL type, not a SQL type (create or replace type). The database can perform some automatic conversions, but there are still limitations.
By the way, this loop will never complete because it lacks an exit condition:
open c_datos;
loop
fetch c_datos into v_detalle(1);
end loop;
close c_datos;
Your function returns a PL/SQL table type, with a table of a PL/SQL record type, which is defined in your package, which plain SQL doesn't know about and can't display - hence your invalid datatype error. If you need to call the function and access the data from SQL you can create schema-level object and collection types instead.
In your anonymous block you are a declaring a new record type. That looks the same to you because the structure is the same, but Oracle expects the exact type the function returns. That makes your test code shorter and simpler though. But you are also trying to return the whole collection into a single record.
DECLARE
l_detalle pkg_contabilidad.t_detalle;
l_registro pkg_contabilidad.r_registro;
l_idx pls_integer;
numero NUMBER :=100;
BEGIN
l_detalle := pkg_contabilidad.f_totalizar_detalle(numero);
l_idx := l_detalle.FIRST;
WHILE l_idx is not null LOOP
l_registro := l_detalle(l_idx);
-- do something with this record
dbms_output.put_line(l_registro.tipo);
l_idx := l_detalle.NEXT(l_idx);
END LOOP;
END;
db<>fiddle with dummy cursors.
Your function is a bit strange and probably isn't doing quite what you want; but also has two fatal problems: it isn't returning anything, and it has an infinite loop. I've fixed those for the fiddle but not anything else, as this seems to be an exercise.

VARCHAR2(32767) not able to handle strings in stored procedure

I am concatenating string using cursor (to form query to execute later). Here, the query that will be formed is going to be way bigger that what VARCHAR2(32767) can handle. There fore, I am getting error on proc execution - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
I used CLOB data type as well bu got error ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error.
My code is here below:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_Market
IS
Names VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
DECLARE CURSOR cur IS ('Select ID, Order_of, field_name
FROM pld_medicare_config');
BEGIN
FOR i IN cur
LOOP
Names := Names || i.sqql;
END LOOP;
dbms_output.put_line(Names);
END;
END sp_Market;
How can I handle my string of queries and what data type is there to accomplish the task?
CLOB is OK (as far as I can tell); I doubt queries you store in there are that big.
Remove dbms_output.put_line call from the procedure; I suspect it is the one that raises the error.
I'm not sure how you got any runtime error, as your procedure won't compile.
The valid PL/SQL version would look something like this:
create or replace procedure sp_market is
names varchar2(32767);
begin
for r in (
select id, order_of, field_name
from pld_medicare_config
)
loop
names := names || ' ' || r.field_name;
end loop;
names := ltrim(names);
dbms_output.put_line(names);
end sp_market;
If names needs to be longer, change the datatype to clob.
Use the CLOB datatype and append data using the dbms_lob.writeappend procedure. This is the reference (Oracle 18c).
The error probably origins with the dbms_output.put_line call. The procedure is defined for varchar2 arguments only which means that an implicit conversion takes place during the call. It will fail for clob contents longer than 32767 chars/bytes.
Alternatively you may declare a collection over varchar2(4000) and fill the collection elements sequentially:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_Market
IS
TYPE tLongString IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(4000) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
cNames tLongString;
BEGIN
DECLARE CURSOR cur IS Select ID, Order_of, field_name, sqql FROM pld_medicare_config;
BEGIN
FOR i IN cur
LOOP
cNames(cNames.COUNT+1) := i.sqql;
END LOOP;
END;
END sp_Market;
Note
Rectified code, will compile now.

ORACLE stored procedure - Store query result

I have the following stored procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP
(
query IN VARCHAR2(200),
CURSOR_ OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
)
AS
row_ PROCESSED_DATA_OBJECT;
processed PROCESSED_DATA_TABLE;
BEGIN
.....
END;
with
CREATE TYPE processed_data_obj AS OBJECT(
id INTEGER,
value FLOAT
);
/
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE processed_data_table AS TABLE OF processed_data_obj;
/
I call the stored procedure passing the query to be executed as input parameter.
The query is something like that:
SELECT A,B FROM TABLE WHERE
where A,B and TABLE are not fixed (defined at runtime during java program execution), so I don't know their values in advance.
How could I fetch/store each returned row in my structure?
processed PROCESSED_DATA_TABLE;
Thanks
This is one way you can process a dynamically generated query into a user defined type. Note that, in order for this to work, the structure of your query (columns) must match the data type structure of your type (attributes) otherwise you're in for trouble.
CREATE TYPE processed_data_obj AS OBJECT(
ID INTEGER,
VALUE FLOAT,
constructor FUNCTION processed_data_obj RETURN self AS result
);
/
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY processed_data_obj IS
constructor FUNCTION processed_data_obj RETURN self AS result IS
BEGIN
RETURN;
END;
END;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE processed_data_table AS TABLE OF processed_data_obj;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp (
p_query IN VARCHAR2
) AS
cursor_ sys_refcursor;
processed processed_data_table := processed_data_table();
BEGIN
OPEN cursor_ FOR p_query;
loop
processed.EXTEND;
processed(processed.count) := processed_data_obj();
fetch cursor_ INTO processed(processed.count).ID, processed(processed.count).VALUE;
exit WHEN cursor_%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line(processed(processed.count).ID||' '||processed(processed.count).VALUE);-- at this point do as you please with your data.
END loop;
CLOSE cursor_; -- always close cursor ;)
processed.TRIM; -- or processed.DELETE(processed.count);
END sp;
I noticed that, originally, you did put CURSOR_ as an output parameter in your stored procedure, if that is still your goal, you can create your procedure as:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp (
p_query IN VARCHAR2,
cursor_ out sys_refcursor
) AS
processed processed_data_table := processed_data_table();
BEGIN
OPEN cursor_ FOR p_query;
loop
processed.EXTEND;
processed(processed.count) := processed_data_obj();
fetch cursor_ INTO processed(processed.count).ID, processed(processed.count).VALUE;
exit WHEN cursor_%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line(processed(processed.count).ID||' '||processed(processed.count).VALUE);-- at this point do as you please with your data.
END loop;
-- cursor remains open
processed.TRIM; -- or processed.DELETE(processed.count);
END sp;
In this case just be conscious about handling your cursor properly and always close it when you're done with it.

Can we use a table type parameter as a default null parameter in PLSQL?

I have a record type as follows,
TYPE x_Rec IS RECORD(
master_company x_tab.master_company%TYPE,
report_trans_type x_tab.report_trans_type%TYPE,
balance_version_id x_tab.balance_version_id%TYPE,
reporting_entity x_tab.reporting_entity%TYPE,
year_period_from x_tab.year_period%TYPE,
year_period_to x_tab.year_period%TYPE,
journal_id x_tab.journal_id%TYPE,
row_id x_tab.row_id%TYPE);
and I have created a table type using this record:
TYPE x_rec_tab IS TABLE OF x_Rec INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
I want to use this table type in a procedure as a default null parameter.
PROCEDURE x_Balance___(x_param IN NUMBER,
x_rec_ IN x_rec_tab default null)
IS
BEGIN
...My code
END;
It gives the following error message
PLS-00382: expression is of the wrong type
I resolved this by using CAST(null as /*your_type*/) in the Procedure's signature.
For instance, in your case, it will be something like this:
PROCEDURE x_Balance (x_param IN NUMBER,
x_rec_ IN x_rec_tab default cast(null as x_rec_tab))
Then, within the procedure, you just need to check if x_rec_ has elements by using the count method.
This way works for me.
You can't do that with an associative array, as that can never be null. You would get the same error if you tried to assign null to a variable of type x_rec_tab. They also don't have constructors, so you can't use an empty collection instead.
You can do this will a varray or more usefully for your situation a nested table:
create or replace package p42 as
TYPE x_Rec IS RECORD(
master_company x_tab.master_company%TYPE,
report_trans_type x_tab.report_trans_type%TYPE,
balance_version_id x_tab.balance_version_id%TYPE,
reporting_entity x_tab.reporting_entity%TYPE,
year_period_from x_tab.year_period%TYPE,
year_period_to x_tab.year_period%TYPE,
journal_id x_tab.journal_id%TYPE,
row_id x_tab.row_id%TYPE);
-- no index-by clause, so nested table not associative array
TYPE x_rec_tab IS TABLE OF x_Rec;
end p42;
/
Package P42 compiled
show errors
No errors.
create or replace package body p42 as
PROCEDURE x_Balance___(x_param IN NUMBER,
x_rec_ IN x_rec_tab default null)
IS
BEGIN
--...My code
null;
END;
PROCEDURE dummy IS
l_rec_tab x_rec_tab;
BEGIN
l_rec_tab := null;
END;
end p42;
/
Package Body P42 compiled
show errors;
No errors.
You could also default to an empty collection instead:
PROCEDURE x_Balance___(x_param IN NUMBER,
x_rec_ IN x_rec_tab default x_rec_tab())
IS
...
That doesn't really help you much if you have other code that relies on the type being an associative array of course.
Old question but still might be helpful.
You can create a function:
function empty_tab
return x_rec_tab
as
l_tab x_rec_tab;
begin
return l_tab;
end empty_tab;
This way you can (notice that empty_tab is used as default parameter):
PROCEDURE x_Balance___(x_param IN NUMBER,
x_rec_ IN x_rec_tab default empty_tab)
IS
BEGIN
...My code
END;
This is a repeat of #ManuelPerez answer, but I just feel that it could have been explained better.
Create this procedure, casting your optional variable to your datatype like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Test_Procedure (
txt_ IN VARCHAR2,
col_formats_ IN dbms_sql.varchar2a DEFAULT cast(null as dbms_sql.varchar2a) )
IS BEGIN
Dbms_Output.Put_Line (txt_);
FOR i_ IN 1 .. 10 LOOP
IF col_formats_.EXISTS(i_) THEN
Dbms_Output.Put_Line (i_ || ' Exists');
ELSE
Dbms_Output.Put_Line (i_ || ' DOES NOT Exist');
END IF;
END LOOP;
END Test_Procedure;
The reason this beats the accepted answer is that it doesn't require you to change the datatype of the incoming variable. Depending on your circumstance, you may not have the flexibility to do that.
Now call your procedure like this if you have a variable to feed the procedure:
DECLARE
txt_ VARCHAR2(100) := 'dummy';
arr_ dbms_sql.varchar2a;
BEGIN
arr_(4) := 'another dummy';
Test_Procedure (txt_, arr_);
END;
Or like this if you don't:
DECLARE
txt_ VARCHAR2(100) := 'dummy';
BEGIN
Test_Procedure (txt_);
END;
Your output will look something like this:
dummy
1 DOES NOT Exist
2 DOES NOT Exist
3 DOES NOT Exist
4 Exists
5 DOES NOT Exist
6 DOES NOT Exist
7 DOES NOT Exist
8 DOES NOT Exist
9 DOES NOT Exist
10 DOES NOT Exist

Oracle: How to populate/insert row to a Ref Cursor?

Really need help regarding Ref Cursor. I have a Stored Procedure GET_PERSONROLES that have parameter type ref cursor. I just wanted to pupulate this ref cursor manually like inserting a row to the refcursor.
Can I insert a row into a refcursor though a loop?
Thank you in advance.
The procedure depends on this publicly declared type:
create or replace package types
as
type cursorTypePersonRole is ref cursor;
end;
Here is my pseudo-codeL
create or replace PROCEDURE GET_PERSONROLES
(
P_CURSOR IN OUT types.cursorTypePersonRole
) AS
REFCUR SYS_REFCURSOR;
TYPE REFTABLETYPE IS RECORD (
IS_MANAGER_LEVEL1 VARCHAR2(1),
IS_MANAGER_LEVEL2 VARCHAR2(1)
);
TYPE TABLETYPE IS TABLE OF REFTABLETYPE;
PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE TABLETYPE;
BEGIN
--calls another stored proc to populate REFCUR with data without problem
MY_STOREDPROC('12345', REFCUR);
LOOP
FETCH REFCUR BULK COLLECT INTO PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE;
EXIT WHEN PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE.COUNT = 0;
FOR indx IN 1 .. PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE.COUNT
LOOP
-- I'm able to query perfectly the values of IS_MANAGER_LEVEL1 and IS_MANAGER_LEVEL 2
-- I'm aware that the below codes are wrong
-- However this means I wanted to insert these values to a row of the cursor if possible
-- Do some logic to know what data will be assigned in the row.
if PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE(indx).IS_MANAGER_LEVEL1 = 'Y' then
P_CURSOR := <DO SOME LOGIC AND ASSIGN THE VALUE TO THE ROW>
end if;
if PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE(indx).IS_MANAGER_LEVEL2 = 'Y' then
P_CURSOR := <DO SOME LOGIC AND ASSIGN THE VALUE TO THE ROW>
end if;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
CLOSE REFCUR;
END GET_PERSONROLES;
A ref cursor is not a variable: it is a pointer to a result set which is consumed by the act of reading it. The result set itself is immutable.
Immutability makes sense, because it reflects Oracle's emphasis on read consistency.
The simplest way to produce the output you appear to want is to create a SQL Type
open P_CURSOR for
select IS_MANAGER_LEVEL1,
IS_MANAGER_LEVEL2
from table ( PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE );
This will work in 12c; in earlier versions to use the table() call like this you may need to declare REFTABLETYPE and TABLETYPE as SQL types( rather than in PL/SQL).
"Ok edited it now"
Alas your requirements are still not clear. You haven't given us the structure of the output ref cursor or shown what other processing you want to undertake.
However, given the title of your question, let's have a guess. So:
create or replace PROCEDURE GET_PERSONROLES ( P_CURSOR IN OUT types.cursorTypePersonRole) AS
REFCUR SYS_REFCURSOR;
TYPE REFTABLETYPE IS RECORD (IS_MANAGER_LEVEL1 VARCHAR2(1),
IS_MANAGER_LEVEL2 VARCHAR2(1));
TYPE TABLETYPE IS TABLE OF REFTABLETYPE;
PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE TABLETYPE;
personrole_rec PersonRole%rowtype;
type personrole_nt is table of PersonRole%rowtype;
personroles_recs personrole_nt := new personrole_nt() ;
BEGIN
MY_STOREDPROC('12345', REFCUR);
FETCH REFCUR BULK COLLECT INTO PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE;
FOR indx IN 1 .. PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE.COUNT LOOP
/* in the absence of requirements I'm just making some stuff up */
if PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE(indx).IS_MANAGER_LEVEL1 = 'Y' then
personrole_rec.whatever1 := 'something';
else
personrole_recc.whatever1 := null;
end if;
if PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE(indx).IS_MANAGER_LEVEL2 = 'Y' then
personrole_rec.whatever2 := 'something else';
else
personrole_recc.whatever2 := null;
end if;
if personrole_rec.whatever1 is not null
or personrole_rec.whatever2 is mot null then
personroles_recs.exend();
personroles_recs(personroles_recs.count()) := personroles_rec;
end if;
END LOOP;
CLOSE REFCUR;
open p_cursor for
select * from table ( personroles_recs );
END GET_PERSONROLES;
This code uses a second collection to store the desired output. Like your code it reads the populated collection and evaluates the attributes of each row. If a value which means the criteria it sets an attribute in a rowtype variable. If one or both attributes are set it populates a new row in a second collection. At the end of the procedure it opens the ref cursor using a table() function call on the second collection.
Note that you do not need the nested loop: you're not using the LIMIT clause so your coder reads the entire cursor into the collection in one swoop.
The implemented rules may not be exactly what you want (because you haven't explained exactly what you want) but this should give you the general idea.
Note that, depending on exactly what processing is masked by <DO SOME LOGIC AND ASSIGN THE VALUE TO THE ROW>, the simpler approach could still be feasible:
open P_CURSOR for
select case when IS_MANAGER_LEVEL1 = 'Y' then 'YES' else 'NO' end,
case when IS_MANAGER_LEVEL2 = 'Y' then 'YES' else 'NO' end
from table ( PERSONROLES_TABLETYPE );
