I have procedure like below, but when block is run it does not shows message for error if data is not found.
CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE DDPROJ_SP
(P_IDPROJ IN DD_PROJECT.IDPROJ%TYPE,
P_INFO OUT VARCHAR2,
p_check OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
CURSOR cur_ddproj IS
SELECT *
FROM dd_project
WHERE idproj = p_idproj;
lv_projinfo_txt VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
FOR rec_ddproj IN cur_ddproj LOOP
lv_projinfo_txt := (rec_ddproj.idproj||', '||rec_ddproj.projname||
', '||rec_ddproj.projstartdate||', '||rec_ddproj. projenddate||
', '||rec_ddproj.projfundgoal||', '||rec_ddproj.p rojcoord);
END LOOP;
P_INFO := LV_PROJINFO_TXT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
P_CHECK :='Please select another project';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(P_CHECK);
END;
And block:
DECLARE
LV_INFO_TXT VARCHAR2(100);
LV_CHECK_TXT VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
DDPROJ_SP(00,lv_info_txt,lv_check_txt);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(LV_INFO_TXT);
END;
After RUNNING BLOCK IF id provided is correct I would receive requested information but if ID is not found exception will not show message on print.
Firstly, as has been pointed out, your exception handler doesn't do anything really visible except call dbms_output, the results of which you'll only see if you set serverout on or otherwise access the results from dbms_output.
Secondly and more importantly, when you use a FOR loop to process the results of a cursor, the NO_DATA_FOUND exception will never be raised.
If you want to detect no rows found, you have a few options:
After the loop, check if the variable was set, e.g.:
...
end loop;
if lv_projinfo_txt is null then
raise no_data_found;
end if;
If you don't expect more than 1 record to be found by the query (which is suggested by your predicate on an "id"), you can avoid the FOR loop and use a simple select into:
PROCEDURE DDPROJ_SP
(P_IDPROJ IN DD_PROJECT.IDPROJ%TYPE,
P_INFO OUT VARCHAR2,
p_check OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
rec_ddproj dd_project%rowtype;
lv_projinfo_txt VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
SELECT *
into rec_ddproj
FROM dd_project
WHERE idproj = p_idproj;
lv_projinfo_txt := (rec_ddproj.idproj||', '||rec_ddproj.projname||
', '||rec_ddproj.projstartdate||', '||rec_ddproj.projenddate||
', '||rec_ddproj.projfundgoal||', '||rec_ddproj.projcoord);
P_INFO := LV_PROJINFO_TXT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
P_CHECK :='Please select another project';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(P_CHECK);
END;
Notes:
A select into may raise NO_DATA_FOUND or TOO_MANY_ROWS.
Good practice is to never handle errors without re-raising the exception, unless your code actually handles the exception. In your case, your code merely sends a signal back to the calling process via the p_check parameter, which moves responsibility for handling the error to the caller. This might be ok in some circumstances but it assumes the caller actually heeds the signal. It would be better to raise an exception which forces the caller to handle it appropriately.
Good practice is to alias all columns and parameters in a query; having a SQL predicate like idproj = p_idproj makes the assumption that the table will never have a column called p_idproj in the future. Instead, it's good practice to deliberately alias all columns and parameters, e.g.
SELECT x.*
into rec_ddproj
FROM dd_project x
WHERE x.idproj = ddproj_sp.p_idproj;

I have a package with a several procedures and functions, the procedures are called from an external program and in turn they call functions.
Where is the best way to manage a Exception?
For example, Prog1 call Proc1 and Proc1 call the Funct1, if in function I have an exception ("TOO MANY ROW" or "NO DATA FOUND"), which is the best way to raise a specific customized message and return immediatally to Prog1.
In this moment I have this
PROCEDURE_1
BEGIN
*code*
CALL FUNCTION_1
*code*
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO DATA FOUND THEN
*print customized message*
RETURN;
END;
FUNCTION_1
BEGIN
*code*
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO DATA FOUND THEN
RAISE;
END;
It is the best way?

Marco
Ideally a procedure would be allowed to fail with an exception and error stack if something went totally wrong, but then the difference between a fatal error and an expected condition will vary depending on the business logic you are implementing, so it's hard to say what should happen in your particular case.
If the agreed interface is that the procedure should return a formatted message, and that message may include expected business conditions such as a product being out of stock, then you can handle that within the procedure using something like this (nonsense pseudocode to illustrate approach only):
create or replace procedure procedure_1
( p_result_message out varchar2 )
as
somevar number;
begin
do_stuff('fruit','cake');
begin
somevar := function_1('bananas');
exception
when no_data_found then
p_result_message := 'No kittens are available for this mission.';
return;
end;
p_result_message := 'Cake is available in aisle 3';
exception
when something_else then
p_result_message := 'Self-destruct sequence initiated.';
end;
(For a more purist approach you might prefer to rearrange the code so that it always reaches the end with a value for p_result_message, rather than quitting partway through if some condition pops up.)
Now you have a way to handle whatever exceptions might reasonably arise in function_1, without any special handling within the function itself.
You could also have the function raise an exception defined in a package, although then you lose the ability to define a diagnostic error message at the point of failure, and in my experience this just tends to complicate things. But to illustrate:
create or replace package starfleet
as
shield_failure exception;
warp_core_malfunction exception;
pragma exception_init(shield_failure, -20998);
pragma exception_init(warp_core_malfunction, -20999);
procedure check_status
( status_message out varchar2 );
function status
return number;
end starfleet;
create or replace package body starfleet as
function status
return number
is
status_ind number;
begin
select 1 into status_ind from dual where 1=2; -- fails with NDF
return status_ind;
exception
when no_data_found then raise shield_failure;
end status;
procedure check_status
( status_message out varchar2 )
is
status_ind number;
begin
status_ind := status();
status_message := 'Everything is fine';
exception
when warp_core_malfunction then status_message := 'Abandon ship';
when shield_failure then status_message := 'Increase power to shields';
end check_status;
end starfleet;
Now, the status() function can raise exceptions defined in the package (or any other package for that matter), and procedure check_status can catch it and decide how to handle it.
Example of calling it from SQL*Plus:
SQL> var status_message varchar2(100)
SQL>
SQL> begin
2 starfleet.check_status(:status_message);
3 end;
4 /

I would like to put the error result to a table.
However, how can I do that?
Can I put the result of dbms_output to a table as a string?
If not, can I get the sqlcode,sqlerrm without using dbms_output?
Thank you !!
From the documentation,
A SQL statement cannot invoke SQLCODE or SQLERRM. To use their values
in a SQL statement, assign them to local variables first
Also,
Oracle recommends using DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_STACK except when using the FORALL statement with its SAVE EXCEPTIONS clause
So, for SQLCODE or SQLERRM, you should assign them into variables and use them.
DECLARE
v_errcode NUMBER;
v_errmsg VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
--some other statements that may raise exception.
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
v_errcode := SQLCODE;
v_errmsg := SQLERRM;
insert into ERROR_TABLE (ERROR_MSG_ID,ERROR_MSG) --change your table name
values (ERROR_MSG_ID_SEQ.NEXTVAL,
v_errcode||':'||v_errmsg);
END;
/
Preferably use insert like this instead, as per Oracle's recommendation.
insert into ERROR_TABLE (ERROR_MSG_ID,ERROR_MSG) values (ERROR_MSG_ID_SEQ.NEXTVAL,
DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_STACK);
Demo
Technically what others are suggesting is correct: the "insert" operation executed in the "exception when others" block will actually insert a new row in the log table.
the problem is that such insert statement will be part of the same transaction of the main procedure and, since you had an error while executing it, you are very likely to rollback that transaction, and this will rollback also the insert in your log table
I suppose the problem you are facing is not that you aren't successfully logging the error message: it is that you are rolling it back immediately afterwards, along with all the other writes you did in the same transaction.
Oracle gives you a way of executing code in a SEPARATE transaction, by using "autonomous transaction" procedures.
you need to create such a procedure:
create or replace procedure Write_Error_log(
arg_error_code number,
arg_error_msg varchar2,
arg_error_backtrace varchar2) is
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
begin
INSERT INTO error_msg (
error_msg_id,
error_code,
error_msg,
error_stack)
VALUES (
error_msg_id_seq.NEXTVAL,
arg_error_code,
arg_error_msg,
arg_error_backtrace);
commit; -- you have to commit or rollback always, before exiting a
-- pragma autonomous_transaction procedure
end;
What this procedure does is to write a new record in the log table using a totally separate and independent transaction: the data will stay in the log table even if you execute a roll back in your calling procedure. You can also use such a procedure to create a generic log (not only errors).
All you have to do now is to call the procedure above whenever you need to log something, so your code becomes:
DECLARE
v_errcode NUMBER;
v_errmsg VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
--some other statements that may raise exception.
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
Write_Error_log(SQLCODE, SQLERRM, dbms_utility.format_error_backtrace);
END;
/
P.S: there might be some typos in my code: I can't test it right now since I can't reach an oracle server in this moment.
I have trying to execute below pl sql block in my oracle developer edition.I have made calls to functions and procedures and it works fines.But i am not able to call exception in case my query does not get executed.I have been trying to get a wrong query exectued by passing a string value instead of int value.So it throws error but also i need to get exception block to executed in case of such error.Block 2 should through exception as i am passing string value.But exception block does not get call,Any help?? Below is my block
DECLARE
DBCID INT := 102;
CNT INT;
BEGIN
SELECT DEVOPS_ISDBCEXECUTED(DBCID, 'DDL') INTO CNT FROM DUAL;
IF (CNT = 0) THEN
BEGIN
DEVOPS_DBCINSERT (DBCID,'DDL','hsolanki','Prj1','Item1','avarne');
BEGIN
DECLARE W_CNT int;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO W_CNT FROM HS WHERE NAM = 'DK'; //block 1
IF (W_CNT = 0) THEN
INSERT INTO HS
(NAM, AGE)
VALUES ('Dk',8);
END IF;
END;
END;
BEGIN
DECLARE W_CNT int;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO W_CNT FROM HS WHERE NAM = 'Ab';
IF (W_CNT = 0) THEN
INSERT INTO HS
(NAM, AGE) //block 2
VALUES ('Ab',s);
END IF;
END;
END;
DEVOPS_DBCUPDATE(DBCID, NULL,'SUCCESS');
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('ERROR OCCURED : ' || sqlerrm);
DEVOPS_DBCUPDATE (DBCID,sqlerrm,'Failed');
rollback;
END;
END IF;
END;
Your exception handling block is within the 'IF (CNT = 0) THEN .. END IF' block. If you pass a string value, most probably the exception was thrown at the first function call ( SELECT DEVOPS_ISDBCEXECUTED...), which is not 'protected' by an excpetion handler. You would need to move the exception handler to the outermost block, e.g.:
DECLARE
DBCID INT := 102;
CNT INT;
BEGIN
....
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
...
END;
So we know ...
DEVOPS_DBCUPDATE is a procedure which updates a table
... and ...
IN exception i am calling DEVOPS_DBCUPDATE ... my table is not getting updated
... and ...
i dont know what is pragma autonomous_transaction
Putting these clues altogether we can see that the rollback in the EXCEPTION block will wipe out the change to the table executed by the preceding call to DEVOPS_DBCUPDATE(), so it only seems as though the EXCEPTION block is not being executed ( a check on whether the DBMS_OUTPUT message is displayed would confirm that it is being called).
Anyway the solution is to make DEVOPS_DBCUPDATE() run in a nested transaction, so the change is applied regardless of what happens in the wider transaction. We do this with the autonomous_transaction pragma.
Obviously I don't know the exact structure of your code, but it will look something like this:
create or replace procedure DEVOPS_DBCUPDATE( ... ) is
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
update your_table
set ....
commit;
end;
The COMMIT in the procedure will persist the change to your table but will not save anything in the outer transaction. So the rollback in the EXCEPTION block would still reverse the inserts into the HS table.
Autonomous transactions are very useful when employed properly, but it is easy to misuse them. This scenario - persistent logging in the event of exception or rollback - is their main use case. But generally, use with caution: it's easy to abuse autonomous transactions and end up with a corrupted database. There's more information in the Oracle documentation.
An error raise in the DECLARE section is not handled by that block's EXCEPTION section. For this reason it is often safer to initialise variables after the BEGIN i.e.
DECLARE
DBCID INT;
CNT INT;
BEGIN
DBCID := 'xxx';
...
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
... -- The assignment will be caught here
END;
I have many cursors that all return rows with the same fields: a numeric ID field and an XMLType field. Every time I access one of these cursors (each cursor has now got its own function for access), I go through the same pattern:
--query behind cursor is designed to no more than one row.
for rec in c_someCursor(in_searchKey => local_search_key_value) loop
v_id := rec.ID
v_someXMLVar := rec.XMLDataField
end loop;
if v_someXMLVar is null then
/* A bunch of mostly-standard error handling and logging goes here */
end if;
exception
/* all cursor access functions have the same error-handling */
end;
As the pattern became more obvious, it made sense to centralize it in a single function:
function fn_standardCursorAccess(in_cursor in t_xmlCursorType, in_alt in XMLType) return XMLType is
v_XMLData XMLType;
begin
dbms_application_info.set_module(module_name => $$PLSQL_UNIT, action_name => 'fn_standardCursorAccess');
loop
fetch in_cursor
into v_XMLData;
exit when in_cursor%notfound;
end loop;
/*some additional standard processing goes here*/
return v_XML;
exception
/*standard exception handling happens here*/
end;
The problem I've run into is in calling this function. I now have to call it like this:
open v_curs for select /*blah blah blah*/ where key_field = x and /*...*/;
v_data := fn_standardCursorAccess(v_curs,alt);
close v_curs;
What I'd like to do is call it like this:
open v_curs for c_getSomeData(x);
v_data := fn_standardCursorAccess(v_curs,alt);
close v_curs;
...reason being to minimize the amount of changes to my code (I don't want to have to cut/paste all these cursors to the functions that depend on them, and in the case where multiple functions depend on the same cursor, I'll have to wrap that in a new function).
Unfortunately, this does not work, Oracle returns an error saying
Error: PLS-00222: no function with name 'C_GETSOMEDATA' exists in this scope
Is what I'm trying to do even possible?
(Oracle version is 10.2)
EDIT:
I think a better way to describe what I'm doing is pass a reference to an explicit cursor to a function that will perform some common routines on the data returned by the cursor.
It appears that I cannot use an open-for statement with an explcit cursor, is there any other way to get a reference to an explicit cursor so I can pass that reference to a function? Maybe there is some other way I could approach this problem?
EDIT:
Copying and pasting from my earlier reply to R Van Rijn's reply:
I tried declaring the cursor in the package specification, and referencing it with the package name: open v_curs for PKG.c_getSomeData(x);... This gives me a new error, saying that PKG.c_getSomeData must be a function or array to be used that way.
UPDATE:
I spoke to our DBA here, he says it is not possible to have a ref cursor point to an explicit cursor. It looks like I can't do this after all. Bummer. :(
concerning the Error PLS-00222:
An identifier being referenced as a function 'c_getSomeData' was not declared or actually represents another object (for example, it might have been declared as a procedure).
Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure
This means you must create a function that actually returns some value(s).
Does this test script and output represent what you are trying to do? Instead of open v_curs for c_getSomeData(x); I'm setting the cursor variable = to the output from the function.

I confess to finding your requirements a trifle hard to divine. You have posted a lot of code, but as I suggested in my comment, not the parts which would illuminate the problem. So possibly the following is way off-beam. But it is an interesting issue.
The following code shows how we can define a common, geneneric REF CURSOR, populate it with specific data from different queries, and then process them in a standardised fashion. Again, I apologise if this does not fit your business logic; if such is the case, please edit your question to explain where I have made a bloomer..
Here is the generic ref cursor. ...

OK, so the short answer from Oracle is: "can't be done!"
The short answer from me is: "Yeah - like Oracle is gonna stop me! So yes you can....but you need to be sneaky ... oh yes, and there is a 'but' or two....in fact...ugh!"
So, how can you pass your explicit cursor by reference? By nesting it into another cursor using the CURSOR() construct!
e.g.)
CREATE OR REPLACE package CFSDBA_APP.test_Cursor
as
function get_cursor(ed_id number) return sys_refcursor;
end;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE package body CFSDBA_APP.test_Cursor
as
function get_cursor(ed_id number) return sys_refcursor
is
test_Cur sys_refcursor;
cursor gettest is
select CURSOR( -pass our actual query back as a nested CURSOR type
select ELCTRL_EVNT_ELCTRL_DISTRCT_ID,
ELECTORAL_DISTRICT_ID,
ELECTORAL_EVENT_ID
from ELCTRL_EVNT_ELCTRL_DISTRCT
where electoral_District_id = ed_id)
from dual;
begin
open gettest;
fetch gettest into test_Cur;
return test_Cur;
end;
end;
/
So what is the problem with this solution? It has a leak! The outer gettest cursor is never closed, because we don't close it and the client will only close the reference to the nested cursor that was selected for them - not the main cursor. And we can't close it automatically because closign the parent would force closing the nested cursor that you have returned by reference - and it is entirely likely that the client has not done using it.
So we have to leave a cursor open in order to return the nested cursor.
And if the user tried calling get_Cursor again with a new value of ed_id, they would discover that the session persistence in the package meant that the cursor handle is still in use and an error would be raised.
Now, we could fix that by first checking and closing the explicit cursor:
if gettest%isopen then
close gettest;
end if;
open gettest;
fetch gettest into test_Cur;
return test_Cur;
But still - what if the user never calls this again? How long 'til Oracle garbage-collects the cursor? And how many users running how many sessions calling how many functions that use this construct will be leaving cursors open after they are done with them? Better count on a huuuuuge overhead to leave all those open cursors layin' about!
No, you would need to have the users do a callback to explicitely close it or you would be clogging the database. But doing this would require changing the scope of the explicit cursor so that both functions can access it: So we need to make it at package scope, not function scope
CREATE OR REPLACE package CFSDBA_APP.test_Cursor
as
function get_cursor(ed_id number) return sys_refcursor;
function close_cursor return sys_refcursor;
end;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE package body CFSDBA_APP.test_Cursor
as
cursor l_gettest(p_ed_id in number) is
select CURSOR(
select ELCTRL_EVNT_ELCTRL_DISTRCT_ID, ELECTORAL_DISTRICT_ID, ELECTORAL_EVENT_ID
from ELCTRL_EVNT_ELCTRL_DISTRCT
where electoral_District_id = p_ed_id)
from dual;
function get_cursor(ed_id number) return sys_refcursor
is
l_get_Cursor sys_refcursor;
begin
open l_gettest (ed_id);
fetch l_gettest into l_get_Cursor;
return l_get_cursor;
end;
function close_cursor return sys_refcursor
is
begin
if l_gettest%isopen then
close l_gettest;
end if;
return pkg_common.generic_success_cursor;
end;
end;
/
OK, plugged the leak. Except it cost us a network round trip instead of the hard parse,...oh wait - and also except embedding a bind variable into an explicit cursor declared at this level is probably going to cause scoping issues of its own which was the reason we wanted to do this in the first place!
Oh, and in a session-pooling environment can two users step on each other's cursors? IF they aren't very carefull about doing an open-fetch-close before returning the session to the pool - we could wind up with some really interesting (and impossible to debug) results!
And how much do you trust the maintainers of the client code to be extra-diligent on this? YEah - me too.
So the short answer is: Yes, with a bit of sneakiness it could be done despite Oracle saying it can't.
The better answer is: But please don't! The extra round trip and potential for memory leaks and client code errors causing data problems makes this a very scary proposition.
It appears that what I wanted to do (have an open-for statement reference an existing explicit cursor) is simply not allowed in Oracle. :(
Frequently I found myself doing some functions to insert/delete/update in one or more tables and I've seen some expected exceptions been taken care of, like no_data_found, dupl_val_on_index, etc. For an insert like this:
create or replace FUNCTION "INSERT_PRODUCTS" (

a_prodArray IN OUT PRODTABLE
)
RETURN NUMBER IS
v_error_code NUMBER;

I would like to customize more of my exceptions or do an exception block for each select/insert. Is that possible or correct?
If so, could please show me some code with important exceptions being throwed by this function?
If you just want to substitute your own error message, there is RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR...
When no_data_found then
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000
, 'Insert Products: One of selects returned nothing';
, true);
The third parameter returns the original error as well as your custom one.
Oracle also gives us the option to define our exceptions. This can be useful if we want to pass the exception to a calling program...
Declare
no_product_found exception;
Begin
....
When no_data_found then
raise no_product_found;
This would be most effective if we defined the NO_PRODUCT_FOUND exception in a package specification where it could be referenced by external program units.
In addition, Oracle provides the INIT_EXCEPTION pragma which allows us to associate Oracle error numbers with our custom exceptions. Unfortunately we cannot overload error numbers which Oracle has already defined (for instance, we cannot create our own exceptions for ORA-1403 which is already covered by the NO_DATA_FOUND exception). Find out more.
In the exception section; you can raise application error or return 0 with error code explanation. It is about your choice.
If you want to log your errors in the exception section (or in main section), write your own logging procedure with AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION. so, your logging mechanism is not affected by your main transaction's COMMIT or ROLLBACK. (see: http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_autonomous_transaction.htm)
Another logging mechanism (DML Error Log) in Oracle 10gR2 (and above) is LOG ERRORS clause (see: http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/DmlErrorLogging_10gR2.php).
