When I try to call dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'MYTABLE', 'MYSCHEMA') either in the pl/sql block or in the package procedure it works fine.
When I try to call dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'MYTABLE') (without schema explicitely provided) either in the pl/sql block or in the package procedure it works fine also.
When I try to call dbms_metadata.get_ddl('DIRECTORY', 'MYDIR') (without schema explicitely provided) in the pl/sql block it works fine also.
But,
When I try to call dbms_metadata.get_ddl('DIRECTORY', 'MYDIR', 'MYSCHEMA') either in the pl/sql block or in the package procedure it raises the error:
ORA-31600: invalid input value MYSCHEMA for parameter SCHEMA in function GET_DDL
When I try to call dbms_metadata.get_ddl('DIRECTORY', 'MYDIR') (without schema explicitely provided) in the package procedure it raises the error:
ORA-31603: object "MYDIR" of type DIRECTORY not found in schema "MYSCHEMA"
What is the problem?

You need to add the AUTHID CURRENT_USER clause (Docs)
create or replace procedure dir_ddl (dir_name in varchar2) AUTHID CURRENT_USER is
x clob;
begin
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl ('DIRECTORY', dir_name) into x from dual;
dbms_output.put_line(x);
end dir_ddl;
/
set serveroutput on
exec dir_ddl('PLSHPROF_DIR')
And my output is...
Procedure DIR_DDL compiled
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY "PLSHPROF_DIR" AS '/home/oracle/profiler'
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
If I remove the AUTHID clause, I see the same error as you report.

When I execute "dbms_lock.sleep", it runs successfully. However, when I put the it in a procedure then it throws error like 'identifier 'DBMS_LOCK must be declared''
exec dbms_lock.sleep ( 5 ); -- this is working
create procedure p1
...
dbms_lock.sleep ( 5 ); -- Error(264,2): PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_LOCK' must be declared
...
end;
/
The below is from dba_objects:
SYS DBMS_LOCK PACKAGE BODY
SYS DBMS_LOCK PACKAGE
PUBLIC DBMS_LOCK SYNONYM
SYS DBMS_OUTPUT PACKAGE
PUBLIC DBMS_OUTPUT SYNONYM
SYS DBMS_OUTPUT PACKAGE BODY
Privileges obtained through a role are not effective inside a PL/SQL block. The execute privilege on the package needs to be granted to the user directly, e.g.:
grant execute on dbms_lock to your_oracle_user;
I have a database connection server "server_dev" in sqldeveloper .
Now i want to create a procedure whose output can be directly saved in a csv file for data comparison later in the local drive of my laptop.
So i tried using UTL_FILE oracle package but when i ran the procedure the UTL_FILE was trying to write in the file of the server "server_dev" whereas i dont have any access to that server hence that command isnt working.
for example: the code is:-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE export_to_csv_test
IS
v_file UTL_FILE.file_type;
v_string VARCHAR2 (4000);
CURSOR c_contexts
IS
SELECT workspace_id,context_id from contexts where rownum<5;
BEGIN
v_file :=
UTL_FILE.fopen ('Z:\My_Project_knowledge\CSVDIR', 'empdata.csv','w',1000);
FOR cur IN c_contexts
`enter code here`LOOP
v_string :=
cur.workspace_id
|| ','
|| cur.context_id;
UTL_FILE.put_line (v_file, v_string);
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.fclose (v_file);
END;
for calling it :-
BEGIN
export_to_csv_test;
END;
Error report:
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 41
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 478

*Cause: A corresponding directory object does not exist.
*Action: Correct the directory object parameter, or create a corresponding
directory object with the CREATE DIRECTORY command.
So,I analysed it and found that my SQL developer is connected to a server to my local machin and since its my office laptop I cant alter it.
Can i have any other way in which I can save the output of my stored procedure to my local drive in a text or Csv file?
To write a file to your local machine you may use dbms_output; for example in SQLPlus:
SQL> set feedback off
SQL> set echo off
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> spool d:\spool.txt
SQL> begin
2 for i in (select level from dual connect by level <= 5) loop
3 dbms_output.put_line('Level ' || i.level);
4 end loop;
5 end;
6 /
WIll produce the file d:\spool.txt:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
If you can select directly from a table or table function, then SQL*Plus 12.2's new SET MARKUP CSV option will be useful. Instead of paginating the query output it will produce CSV. The full syntax is
SET MARKUP CSV {ON|OFF} [DELIMI[TER] character] [QUOTE {ON|OFF}]
Output generation will faster if you turn on this mode with the sqlplus -m option.
It's also useful for querying JSON types. See https://blogs.oracle.com/opal/entry/fast_generation_of_csv_and
I have a stored procedure with 3 parameters. I want to execute this from configuration in operation manager. I used like this :
begin
saman_test.CONVERTHISTORY('$Config/JobType$','$Config/HostFQDN$','$Config/Environment$'); end;
but it does not work without any error.
And I used this code:
exec
saman_test.CONVERTHISTORY('$Config/JobType$','$Config/HostFQDN$','$Config/Environment$')
but I get this error :
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
How do I execute my procedure?
I find the keyword for execute my procedure.
call
saman_test.CONVERTHISTORY('$Config/JobType$','$Config/HostFQDN$','$Config/Environment$')
Step 1 : I have created one package with procedures to create context and set value to the context.
create or replace PACKAGE Context_check AS
PROCEDURE set_context_vpd_proc (V_ISID in varchar2);
procedure set_context (v_isid_a in varchar2);
END Context_check;
create or replace PACKAGE BODY Context_check AS
PROCEDURE set_context_vpd_proc (V_ISID in varchar2)
AS
v_STAT VARCHAR2(200);
v_chk varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
DBMS_SESSION.SET_CONTEXT('VPD_CTX', 'ISID', V_ISID );
--v_STAT := '';
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN NULL;
END;
procedure set_context (v_isid_a in varchar2)
as
begin
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE OR REPLACE CONTEXT VPD_CTX using set_context_vpd_proc';
set_context_vpd_proc (v_isid_a);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN NULL;
end set_context;
END Context_check;
Step 2: When I am trying to executing the procedure I am getting an error
EXECUTE Context_check.set_context('Ana');
Error starting at line 43 in command:
EXECUTE Context_check.set_context('Ana')
Error report:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SESSION", line 114
ORA-06512: at "SEC_ADMIN.CONTEXT_CHECK", line 8
ORA-06512: at "SEC_ADMIN.CONTEXT_CHECK", line 20
ORA-06512: at line 1
01031. 00000 - "insufficient privileges"
*Cause: An attempt was made to change the current username or password
without the appropriate privilege. This error also occurs if
attempting to install a database without the necessary operating
system privileges.
When Trusted Oracle is configure in DBMS MAC, this error may occur
if the user was granted the necessary privilege at a higher label
than the current login.
*Action: Ask the database administrator to perform the operation or grant
the required privileges.
For Trusted Oracle users getting this error although granted the
the appropriate privilege at a higher label, ask the database
administrator to regrant the privilege at the appropriate label.
I have already given all the grants on that package.Still I am not able to execute this procedure.
Note : If I create the same procedures as stand alone ,its working fine and setting the context.
You need to create a context using a package, not using a procedure inside of a package.
Instead of
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE OR REPLACE CONTEXT VPD_CTX using set_context_vpd_proc';
Write
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE OR REPLACE CONTEXT VPD_CTX using Context_check';
I have fairly simply code ..running in Oracle Virtualbox. However for some reason it is not displaying pl/sql output.
Here is code snippet
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> list
1 Create or Replace procedure mytz
2 IS
3 v_mytz TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT '2013-05-05 12:00:00 AM';
4 BEGIN
5 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Default timestamp is ' );
6* end mytz ;
SQL> /
Procedure created.
SQL>
Is there anything I need to do special to see the output on SQL prompt ?
You have to actually run the procedure, not just create it, e.g.:
set serverputput on
exec mytz;
The set serveroutput SQL*Plus command has to be in the session the procedure is executed, not the one where it is created (if they are different).
You are not showing the value of your variable at the moment; maybe you wanted this?
dbms_output.put_line('Default timestamp is: ' || v_mytz);
