I am trying to run an explain plan using a wrapper, but getting compilation error. Can you please help troubleshoot this error.
set serveroutput on
var my_cur refcursor;
begin
:my_cur:=sys.run_xplan('select * from hcc.Tab_A');
end;
/print my_cur
Error:
begin
:my_cur:=sys.run_xplan('select * from hcc.Tab_A');
end;
/print my_cur

Please help!
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol " " when expecting one of the following:
I think the problem is in your repeat_interval argument.
The ; is used to separate different period elements, with no semi-colon after the last element. However, your string ends '; ' which explains why Oracle hurls.
The solution would be to pass this instead:
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=WEEKLY; BYDAY=FRI; BYHOUR=3'
First off, I'm a relative newbie to PL/SQL so I might be missing something trivial.
Here is a snippet of code that I'm having issues with running -
FOR indx IN 1 .. arr.COUNT
LOOP
SELECT COUNT(*), ca.cities
INTO tmp_count, affected_cities
FROM PDB.utilities ca
WHERE (ca.app_city_id = cityid
AND ca.app_plumbing_id = arr(indx))
AND( BITAND(options1,2) = 2
OR BITAND(options1,1) = 1)
GROUP BY ca.cities;
IF tmp_count >=0 THEN
-- We have an affected app so collect metrics
IF plumbings(indx_mv) ='0Ci30000000GsBN' THEN
count_wrigley:= count_wrigley+tmp_count;
END IF;
counter:= counter+tmp_count; --overall count.
tmp_count:=0;
affected_cities:=null;
END IF;
EXCEPTION -- error thrown here !
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
CONTINUE;
END;
END LOOP; -- Error thrown here too.
And here is my error trace -

It's worth noting that the block fails only with the exception handling and compiles successfully otherwise. So my guess is I'm doing something wrong there?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
EXCEPTION aligns with BEGIN ... END blocks. There is no BEGIN inside your loop, so there should be no exception either.
It seems the purpose of the exception is to suppress NO_DATA_FOUND errors inside the loop. So to fix this error you need to put a BEGIN / END block in the loop too. (Ah, you have an END just no BEGIN - your code would hurl with the EXCEPTION block).
FOR indx IN 1 .. arr.COUNT
LOOP
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*), ca.cities
INTO tmp_count, affected_cities
FROM PDB.utilities ca
....
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
CONTINUE;
END;
END LOOP;
Please check my package and procedures.
My package:
create or replace package transaction1 as
procedure enter_transaction(acc number, kind varchar2, amount number);
procedure apply_transaction;
end;

This is my body:

procedure enter_transaction(acc in number, kind in varchar2, amount in number)
is

What is the warning? Why?
If you see a warning: Errors: check compiler log
then run show errors command and you will see the error log :

In case of your package body Oracle complains because BEGIN END blocks don't contain any commands.
In Oracle the BEGIN-END block must contain at least one command. Could be NULL, if you don't want to run anything (and don't forget to place a semicolon after NULL command):
PROCEDURE ......
IS
BEGIN
NULL;
END;
I using oracle developer tools for viusal studio to develop my pl/sql program,however,I encounter a problem with this simple code
Here is the code

The problem is I cannot even get this anonymous block of code started. To start, I'm just trying to open my data file and read it, then build from there. But I can't even get the file open.
SQL Developer Error Report starts right off with
Error starting at line 5 in command:
DECLARE
then repeats the block of code and adds this:

The symbol "exit" was substituted for ";" to continue.

#ShannonSeverance's comments about using directory objects with UTL_FILE.FOPEN are appropriate, except in the instance where your DBA has not embraced their use and insists on sticking with the "tried and true" INIT.ORA parameter UTL_FILE_DIR. Don't ask me how I know... :-)
