Running PLSQL ( Oracle ) Stored Procedure in Liquibase error : Package or function X is in an invalid state - oracle

Question

I am trying to run the following stored procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE RETRY_TRANS_EXCEPTION
AS
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..5 LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('Try #' || i);
ALTER TABLE CIS_CASE ADD TEST01 varchar2(1) NOT NULL;
END;
END;
/
and calling it in changelog.xml as:
<sql>CALL RETRY_TRANS_EXCEPTION();</sql>
i get error:
Liquibase update Failed: Migration failed for change set eldata-changelog.xml::2016-08-25-cn-01::Ch Will:Reason: liquibase.exception.DatabaseException: Error executing SQL CALL RETRY_TRANS_EXCEPTION(): ORA-06575: Package or function RETRY_TRANS_EXCEPTION is in an invalid state
What i am trying to achieve is to be able to run a stored procedure through Liquibase with a loop in it.
Thanks for your help Prashant. What worked in my case was your solution plus one change:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE RETRY_TRANS_EXCEPTION
AS
v_query varchar2(100);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..500 LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('Try #' || i);
v_query := 'ALTER TABLE CIS_CASE ADD TEST01 varchar2(1) NULL';
execute immediate v_query;
END loop;
END;
/
and then calling the Stored Procedure from the changelog, as:
<changeSet id="2016-08-25-cw-01" author="Ch Will">
<comment>
Testing retry logic on liquibase
</comment>
<sql>CALL RETRY_TRANS_EXCEPTION();</sql>
</changeSet>

Answer 1

You can't call it because the procedure does not compile correctly. Go back and fix the compilation errors, then try again.
Here are a couple of errors that stand out to me:
the for loop should end with end loop;, not end;
You can't have DDL statements directly in the code. You need dynamic SQL to execute a DDL statement from a procedure: execute immediate 'ALTER TABLE CIS_CASE ADD TEST01 varchar2(1) NOT NULL';
Additional note: I don't understand why you are trying to execute the same DDL statement multiple times inside a loop. Obviously, you won't be able to add the same column with the same name over and over. You will get a runtime error.

Did required fixes :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE RETRY_TRANS_EXCEPTION
AS
v_query varchar2(100);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..5 LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('Try #' || i);
v_query := 'ALTER TABLE CIS_CASE ADD TEST01 varchar2(1) NOT NULL' ;
execute immediate v_query;
END loop;
END;

Answer 3

PLSQL stored procedure can't use DDL statements, like
alter table ...
so the
execute immediate ("...")
statement is required because in fact it creates an autonomous implicit transition that can't be rollbacked
