I am trying to use DBMS_CRYPTO encrypt, but no matter how I choose some of the parameters, I encounter values for which the code throws
ORA-01890: NLS error detected ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_I18N", line 72 ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_I18N", line 353 ORA-06512: at line 26
Here is an example
declare
-- v_value VARCHAR2 (4000) := '9Ab2Ov1Bd4'; -- works
-- v_value VARCHAR2 (4000) := '7Md4Mt7Gk0'; -- works
-- v_value VARCHAR2 (4000) := '3Vf8Fi2Pa5'; -- works
-- v_value VARCHAR2(4000) := '5Vq2Dc4Cq9'; -- works as well
v_value VARCHAR2(4000) := '2Cq0Yh3Vb2'; --this does not work?
v_result VARCHAR2 (4000);
v_raw_row RAW (2000); -- stores ec binary text
v_enc_type PLS_INTEGER
:=
DBMS_CRYPTO.ENCRYPT_AES256 +
DBMS_CRYPTO.CHAIN_CBC +
DBMS_CRYPTO.PAD_ZERO; -- total encryption type
v_def_k VARCHAR2 (32) := 'mMbSmSMr_!_uAlns9asG5_a_AfhS4_3a';
begin
v_raw_row :=
DBMS_CRYPTO.ENCRYPT (
src => UTL_I18N.STRING_TO_RAW (v_value, 'AL32UTF8'),
typ => v_enc_type,
key => UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW (v_def_k));
v_result := UTL_I18N.RAW_TO_CHAR (v_raw_row, 'AL32UTF8');
dbms_output.put_line(v_result);
end;
Changing the encryption type and key "solves" the issue for the one value which does not work, but it I always encounter another value which will then throw this exact exception.
I tried this in Oracle 12.2.0.1.0 as well as in 19.0.0.0.0. Exactly the same behaviour.
I guess that something I am doing is completely wrong. Any help is appreciated.
Instead of AL32UTF8 as source character set, can you please try using WE8ISO8859P1 or null.
From Oracle doc:
UTL_I18N.RAW_TO_CHAR is a function that converts raw to char data type conversion can be implemented, but not different character sets can be converted.
The second parameter should specify which characteret is passed by the raw data, ie the source character set.
Specify the character set that the RAW data was derived from. If src_charset is NULL, then the database character set is used.
so if using DB characterset or NULL, no error will be reported.
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.
I have a procedure which gets 2 String as its parameter. I want to bind a variable to one of the parameter string but its not working properly as i do as below explanation. Your help would be highly appreciated.
DECLARE
customer_id Varchar2(100);
BEGIN
custmer_id := '100';
Customer.Error ('CustomerEntity','Customer has already availalble for :custmer_id ');
END;
Use concatanation operator (||) as follows as I think there is no way to bind the variable in assignment to another string.:
DECLARE
customer_id Varchar2(100);
BEGIN
custmer_id := '100';
Customer.Error ('CustomerEntity','Customer has already availalble for ' || custmer_id);
END;
Bind variables are mostly used in dynamic query execution.
Cheers!!
Trying to get the size of a defined variable in Oracle. I may need to use a number when declaring the size of a varchar2 but would rather not have to keep track of an extra variable or number.
example pseudo code:
declare
myvar varchar(42) := 'a';
begin
/* I know the length is length(myvar) = 1. */
/* but how do I get 42? */
/* What is the max defined size of this variable */
declared_size_of(myvar);
end
The reason I need this is to lpad the length of the string to the declared size so it doesn't generate an exception.
As #Justin said in his comments, you don't have to explicitly blank pad the string if you use CHAR data type. Oracle would blank-pad the value to it's maximum size.
From documentation,
If the data type of the receiver is CHAR, PL/SQL blank-pads the value
to the maximum size. Information about trailing blanks in the original
value is lost.
For example,
SQL> SET serveroutput ON
SQL> DECLARE
2 myvar CHAR(42);
3 BEGIN
4 myvar:='a';
5 dbms_output.put_line(LENGTH(myvar));
6 END;
7 /
42
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>
Brute Force technique using exception handling which is probably very inefficient:
DECLARE
myvar varchar2(42) := 'a'; /* using varchar */
v_size number := null;
x varchar(4000) := '';
v_length number := 0;
BEGIN
begin
v_length := length(myvar);
x := myvar;
FOR i in v_length..8001 LOOP
myvar := myvar || ' '; /* add one space at a time until it causes an exception */
End Loop;
EXCEPTION
-- WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
WHEN OTHERS THEN
v_length := length(myvar);
end;
dbms_output.put_line('Declared size is varchar('||v_length
||') and length(myvar) is '||length(trim(myvar)));
END;
To fetch the max. of a column input, you simply could do:
SELECT MAX(LENGTH(Column))
FROM TableA;
I am trying to run a stored procedure that has multiple in and out parameters. The procedure can only be viewed in my Connections panel by navigating
Other Users | <user> | Packages | <package> | <procedure>
If I right click , the menu items are "Order Members By..." and "Create Unit Test" (greyed out). The ability to "Run" the procedure does not seem possible when it's accessed by user.
I have been trying to find an example of how to create an anonymous block so that I can run the procedure as a SQL file, but haven't found anything that works.
Does anyone know how I can execute this procedure from SQL Developer? I am using Version 2.1.1.64.
EDIT 1:
The procedure I want to call has this signature:
user.package.procedure(
p_1 IN NUMBER,
p_2 IN NUMBER,
p_3 OUT VARCHAR2,
p_4 OUT VARCHAR2,
p_5 OUT VARCHAR2,
p_6 OUT NUMBER)
If I write my anonymous block like this:
DECLARE
out1 VARCHAR2(100);
out2 VARCHAR2(100);
out3 VARCHAR2(100);
out4 NUMBER(100);
BEGIN
EXECUTE user.package.procedure (33,89, :out1, :out2, :out3, :out4);
END;
I get the error:
Bind Varialbe "out1" is NOT DECLCARED
anonymous block completed
I've tried initializing the out* variables:
out1 VARCHAR2(100) := '';
but get the same error:
EDIT 2:
Based on Alex's answer, I tried removing the colons from in front of the params and get this:
Error starting at line 1 in command:
DECLARE
out1 VARCHAR2(100);
out2 VARCHAR2(100);
out3 VARCHAR2(100);
out4 NUMBER(100);
BEGIN
EXECUTE user.package.procedure (33,89, out1, out2, out3, out4);
END;
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 13, column 17:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "USER" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( # % ; immediate
The symbol ":=" was substituted for "USER" to continue.
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:
With simple parameter types (i.e. not refcursors etc.) you can do something like this:
SET serveroutput on;
DECLARE
InParam1 number;
InParam2 number;
OutParam1 varchar2(100);
OutParam2 varchar2(100);
OutParam3 varchar2(100);
OutParam4 number;
BEGIN
/* Assign values to IN parameters */
InParam1 := 33;
InParam2 := 89;
/* Call procedure within package, identifying schema if necessary */
schema.package.procedure(InParam1, InParam2,
OutParam1, OutParam2, OutParam3, OutParam4);
/* Display OUT parameters */
dbms_output.put_line('OutParam1: ' || OutParam1);
dbms_output.put_line('OutParam2: ' || OutParam2);
dbms_output.put_line('OutParam3: ' || OutParam3);
dbms_output.put_line('OutParam4: ' || OutParam4);
END;
/
Edited to use the OP's spec, and with an alternative approach to utilise :var bind variables:
var InParam1 number;
var InParam2 number;
var OutParam1 varchar2(100);
var OutParam2 varchar2(100);
var OutParam3 varchar2(100);
var OutParam4 number;
BEGIN
/* Assign values to IN parameters */
:InParam1 := 33;
:InParam2 := 89;
/* Call procedure within package, identifying schema if necessary */
schema.package.procedure(:InParam1, :InParam2,
:OutParam1, :OutParam2, :OutParam3, :OutParam4);
END;
/
-- Display OUT parameters
print :OutParam1;
print :OutParam2;
print :OutParam3;
print :OutParam4;
Executing easy. Getting the results can be hard.
Take a look at this question I asked Best way/tool to get the results from an oracle package procedure
The summary of it goes like this.
Assuming you had a Package named mypackage and procedure called getQuestions. It returns a refcursor and takes in string user name.
All you have to do is create new SQL File (file new). Set the connection and paste in the following and execute.
var r refcursor;
exec mypackage.getquestions(:r, 'OMG Ponies');
print r;
For those using SqlDeveloper 3+, in case you missed that:
SqlDeveloper has feature to execute stored proc/function directly, and output are displayed in a easy-to-read manner.
Just right click on the package/stored proc/ stored function, Click on Run and choose target to be the proc/func you want to execute, SqlDeveloper will generate the code snippet to execute (so that you can put your input parameters). Once executed, output parameters are displayed in lower half of the dialog box, and it even have built-in support for ref cursor: result of cursor will be displayed as a separate output tab.
Open the procedure in SQL Developer and run it from there. SQL Developer displays the SQL that it runs.
BEGIN
PROCEEDURE_NAME_HERE();
END;
Use:
BEGIN
PACKAGE_NAME.PROCEDURE_NAME(parameter_value, ...);
END;
Replace "PACKAGE_NAME", "PROCEDURE_NAME", and "parameter_value" with what you need. OUT parameters will need to be declared prior to.
Though this question is quite old, I keep stumbling into same result without finding an easy way to run from sql developer.
After couple of tries, I found an easy way to execute the stored procedure from sql developer itself.
Under packages, select your desired package and right click on the package name (not on the stored procedure name).
You will find option to run. Select that and supply the required arguments. Click OK and you can see the output in output variables section below
I'm using SQL developer version 4.1.3.20
None of these other answers worked for me. Here's what I had to do to run a procedure in SQL Developer 3.2.20.10:
SET serveroutput on;
DECLARE
testvar varchar(100);
BEGIN
testvar := 'dude';
schema.MY_PROC(testvar);
dbms_output.enable;
dbms_output.put_line(testvar);
END;
And then you'd have to go check the table for whatever your proc was supposed to do with that passed-in variable -- the output will just confirm that the variable received the value (and theoretically, passed it to the proc).
NOTE (differences with mine vs. others):
No : prior to the variable name
No putting .package. or .packages. between the schema name and the procedure name
No having to put an & in the variable's value.
No using print anywhere
No using var to declare the variable
All of these problems left me scratching my head for the longest and these answers that have these egregious errors out to be taken out and tarred and feathered.
Can't believe, this won't execute in SQL Developer:
var r refcursor;
exec PCK.SOME_SP(:r,
'02619857');
print r;
BUT this will:
var r refcursor;
exec TAPI_OVLASCENJA.ARH_SELECT_NAKON_PRESTANKA_REG(:r, '02619857');
print r;
Obviously everything has to be in one line..
Using SQL Developer Version 4.0.2.15 Build 15.21 the following works:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
var InParam1 varchar2(100)
var InParam2 varchar2(100)
var InParam3 varchar2(100)
var OutParam1 varchar2(100)
BEGIN
/* Assign values to IN parameters */
:InParam1 := 'one';
:InParam2 := 'two';
:InParam3 := 'three';
/* Call procedure within package, identifying schema if necessary */
schema.package.procedure(:InParam1, :InParam2, :InParam3, :OutParam1);
dbms_output.enable;
dbms_output.put_line('OutParam1: ' || :OutParam1);
END;
/
To run procedure from SQL developer-only execute following command
EXECUTE PROCEDURE_NAME;
I had a stored procedure that returned a cursor, in my case it was actually of a custom package type (T_CURSOR, looks like a convention to me) that is defined as REF CURSOR.
There may be a better way to do this, but I defined variables for all the columns of the table that the cursor was iterating, looped the cursor fetching each row into those variables, then printed them out.
SET serveroutput on;
DECLARE
testvar number;
v_cur SYS_REFCURSOR;
ORIGINAL_EMP_NUM NUMBER;
TEMPORARY_EMP_NUM NUMBER;
ORG_UNIT_CODE VARCHAR2(2 BYTE);
MRU_CODE VARCHAR2(10 BYTE);
CTRL_COMPANY_CODE VARCHAR2(10 BYTE);
IS_TEMP_FLAG VARCHAR2(1 BYTE);
BEGIN
testvar := 420;
foo.updates.get_temporary_authorisations(testvar, v_cur);
dbms_output.enable;
dbms_output.put_line(testvar);
LOOP
FETCH v_cur INTO ORIGINAL_EMP_NUM, TEMPORARY_EMP_NUM, ORG_UNIT_CODE, MRU_CODE, CTRL_COMPANY_CODE, IS_TEMP_FLAG;
EXIT WHEN v_cur%NOTFOUND;
dbms_output.put_line(ORIGINAL_EMP_NUM || ',' || TEMPORARY_EMP_NUM || ',' || ORG_UNIT_CODE || ',' || MRU_CODE|| ',' || CTRL_COMPANY_CODE|| ',' || IS_TEMP_FLAG);
END LOOP;
CLOSE v_cur;
END;
I wasn't able to get #Alex Poole answers working. However, by trial and error, I found the following works (using SQL Developer version 3.0.04). Posting it here in case it helps others:
SET serveroutput on;
DECLARE
var InParam1 number;
var InParam2 number;
var OutParam1 varchar2(100);
var OutParam2 varchar2(100);
var OutParam3 varchar2(100);
var OutParam4 number;
BEGIN
/* Assign values to IN parameters */
InParam1 := 33;
InParam2 := 89;
/* Call procedure within package, identifying schema if necessary */
schema.package.procedure(InParam1, InParam2,
OutParam1, OutParam2, OutParam3, OutParam4);
/* Display OUT parameters */
dbms_output.put_line('OutParam1: ' || OutParam1);
dbms_output.put_line('OutParam2: ' || OutParam2);
dbms_output.put_line('OutParam3: ' || OutParam3);
dbms_output.put_line('OutParam4: ' || OutParam4);
END;
--for setting buffer size needed most of time to avoid `anonymous block completed` message
set serveroutput on size 30000;
-- declaration block in case output need to catch
DECLARE
--declaration for in and out parameter
V_OUT_1 NUMBER;
V_OUT_2 VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
--your stored procedure name
schema.package.procedure(
--declaration for in and out parameter
V_OUT_1 => V_OUT_1,
V_OUT_2 => V_OUT_2
);
V_OUT_1 := V_OUT_1;
V_OUT_2 := V_OUT_2;
-- console output, no need to open DBMS OUTPUT seperatly
-- also no need to print each output on seperat line
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Ouput => ' || V_OUT_1 || ': ' || V_OUT_2);
END;
Creating Pl/SQL block can be painful if you have a lot of procedures which have a lot of parameters. There is an application written on python that do it for you.
It parses the file with procedure declarations and creates the web app for convenient procedure invocations.
var out_para_name refcursor;
execute package_name.procedure_name(inpu_para_val1,input_para_val2,... ,:out_para_name);
print :out_para_name;
