I am new to plsql. I am trying to put two scripts under the same package. These scripts deal with arrays. How do I pass an array into the procedure? If I am to declare the array, do I do it in the specification or the body? I am trying this right now but it doesn't work.
CREATE PACKAGE cop_cow_script AS
PROCEDURE COP_COW_DATALOAD_V2(arr_claims VARRAY(15000) OF VARCHAR2(10), arr_sql VARRAY(500) OF VARCHAR2(1000));
END cop_cow_script;
As you see I want to pass in those two arrays.
You need to declare types in the package specification and use them as parameter types in the procedure declaration:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE cop_cow_script AS
TYPE arr_claims_t IS VARRAY(15000) OF VARCHAR2(10);
TYPE arr_sql_t IS VARRAY(500) OF VARCHAR2(1000);
PROCEDURE COP_COW_DATALOAD_V2(arr_claims arr_claims_t, arr_sql arr_sql_t);
END cop_cow_script;
/
EDIT - below is an example of the package body - the procedure loops through elements of it's first parameter and prints them using DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
PROCEDURE COP_COW_DATALOAD_V2(arr_claims arr_claims_t, arr_sql arr_sql_t)
IS
BEGIN
FOR i IN arr_claims.FIRST .. arr_claims.LAST
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( arr_claims( i ) );
END LOOP;
END;
END cop_cow_script;
/
An then you can initialize them and pass to the procedure invocation for example in this way (this is an anonymous block that declares two variables, initializes them and invokes the procedure passing both parameters to it:
DECLARE
my_array1 cop_cow_script.arr_claims_t := cop_cow_script.arr_claims_t();
my_array2 cop_cow_script.arr_sql_t := cop_cow_script.arr_sql_t();
BEGIN
my_array1.extend;
my_array1( 1 ) := 'string 1';
my_array2.extend;
my_array2( 1 ) := 'string 2';
cop_cow_script.COP_COW_DATALOAD_V2( my_array1, my_array2 );
END;
/
First off, I'm hard-pressed to imagine a situation where you'd actually want to use a PL/SQL varray rather than a nested table or an associative array. There really isn't a benefit to declaring a fixed size collection.
Whatever sort of collection type you want, you'd need to declare the collection type either in the package specification or at the SQL level (depending on the type of collection) separate from the procedure specification
CREATE PACKAGE cop_cow_script AS
TYPE arr_claims IS varray(15000) of varchar(10);
TYPE arr_sql IS varray(500) of varchar(1000);
PROCEDURE COP_COW_DATALOAD_V2(p_claims arr_claims,
p_sql arr_sql);
END cop_cow_script;

I want to know how is ROT_TMLN_ARRAY type added to a variable in sql developer. I see that ROT_TMLN_ARRAY is also a type and I want to create something similar with another variable.
create or replace PACKAGE BODY AS PKG TMLN
PROCEDURE SP TMLN SVC (
rotnPrngNb IN VARCHAR2
empiRotnDetails OUT ROT_TMLN ARRAY)
U can add the variable as a Type in both IN or OUT Parameter.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P_TMLN_SVC(I_ID IN NUMBER,
O_RESULT OUT T_TABLE)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT OWNER_TYPE BULK COLLECT INTO O_RESULT FROM OWNERES WHERE OWNERS_ID=I_ID;
END P_TMLN_SVC;
Calling Statement:
DECLARE
T_ARRAY T_TABLE;
BEGIN
P_TMLN_SVC(100,T_ARRAY);
END;
i'm kind of new to Oracle Pl\SQL. I was just trying to create a simple Package with a procedure that returns a set of object id's; the code is as follows:
--Package Spec
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE TEST IS
--GET OBJECT ID'S FROM CONTROL TABLE
PROCEDURE get_object_id_control(p_obj_id OUT abc_table%ROWTYPE);
END;
--Package Body
PROCEDURE get_object_id_control(p_obj_id OUT abc_table%ROWTYPE) AS
BEGIN
SELECT object_id
INTO p_obj_id
FROM abc_table
WHERE fec_proc IS NULL;
END;
I get Error: PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values. Is this the correct way for returning multiple values of same data type, or is there a better approach. Thanks in advance.
You can create a custom table type and set the out parameter of the procedure to that type.
CREATE TABLE ABC_TABLE(ID varchar2(100));
create or replace type abc_tab is table of varchar2(100);
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE TEST IS
PROCEDURE get_object_id_control(p_obj_id OUT abc_tab);
END;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY TEST IS
PROCEDURE get_object_id_control(p_obj_id OUT abc_tab) AS
BEGIN
SELECT id
bulk collect INTO p_obj_id
FROM abc_table;
END;
END;
/
Then you can call it like so:
declare
v abc_tab;
begin
TEST.get_object_id_control(p_obj_id => v);
for i in v.first..v.last loop
dbms_output.put_line(v(i));
end loop;
end;
/
Similar to GurV's answer (since he beat me by like 30 seconds...), you can use a PL/SQL object type as well. You do not need the CREATE TYPE statement if you don't need to reference the type in SQL.
--Package Spec
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE TEST AS
TYPE id_table_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
--GET OBJECT ID'S FROM CONTROL TABLE
PROCEDURE get_object_id_control(p_obj_id_list OUT id_table_type);
END;
--Package Body
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY TEST AS
PROCEDURE get_object_id_control(p_obj_id_list OUT id_table_type) AS
BEGIN
SELECT object_id
BULK COLLECT INTO p_obj_id_list
FROM abc_table
WHERE fec_proc IS NULL;
END;
END;
To use it:
DECLARE
l_id_list test.id_table_type;
BEGIN
test.get_object_id_control (p_obj_id_list => l_id_list);
FOR i IN l_id_list.FIRST .. l_id_list.LAST LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (l_id_list (i));
END LOOP;
END;
I'm stuck with the passing Dates as an array parameters from the Oracle Apex page into package. Package contains one procedure with an array of type of dates. So what I want to do is to pass a simple dates into it from the Apex page, pl/sql block. Here is my code so far:
create or replace PACKAGE PK_NAME AS
TYPE DATES_ARRAY_TYPE IS VARRAY(100) OF DATE;
PROCEDURE PASS_DATES (
DATES DATES_ARRAY_TYPE
);
END PK_NAME;
create or replace PACKAGE BODY PK_NAME AS
PROCEDURE PASS_DATES (
DATES DATES_ARRAY_TYPE
) AS
BEGIN
for i in 1..DATES.count loop
HTP.P(DATES(i));
end loop;
END;
END PASS_DATES;
END PK_NAME;
Simple as that. And I call this procedure from the Apex page pl/sql block:
PK_NAME.PASS_DATES (
DATES => '15-JAN-15', '16-JAN-15', '17-JAN-15'
);
However, it doesn't work, every time I'm trying to save it, it gives me an error:
•ORA-06550: line 3, column 25: PLS-00312: a positional parameter association may not follow a named association ORA-06550: line 2, column 1: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
What is wrong with it or what have I missed ?

you must init constructor DATES_ARRAY_TYPE()
i think it must look like this
create TYPE DATES_ARRAY_TYPE IS VARRAY(100) OF DATE;
create or replace procedure test_case( p_dates DATES_ARRAY_TYPE) is
begin
dbms_output.put_line(p_dates(1));
end;
declare
a DATES_ARRAY_TYPE;
begin
a := DATES_ARRAY_TYPE(sysdate, sysdate + 1,to_date('1.01.2016','dd.mm.yyyy'));
test_case(a);
end;
also if you want to use TYPE in PACKAGE PK_NAME (not global) you must use object like PK_NAME.DATES_ARRAY_TYPE in your code.
ok, lets go in your case:
1. create package and body:
https://gyazo.com/789b875ce47852e859c395c2021f9cd4
create or replace PACKAGE PCK AS
-- your type in pck
TYPE DATES_ARRAY_TYPE IS VARRAY(100) OF DATE;
procedure test_case(p_dates DATES_ARRAY_TYPE);
END PCK;
create or replace PACKAGE body PCK AS
procedure test_case(p_dates DATES_ARRAY_TYPE) IS
BEGIN
--here just raise second element in array for DEMO
raise_application_error('-20000',p_dates(2) );
END;
END PCK;
2.create page and button and after submit process:
https://gyazo.com/755f6e089db0a6a8ea058567d2b3384b
declare
asd PCK.DATES_ARRAY_TYPE := PCK.DATES_ARRAY_TYPE('31-JUL-15', '01-AUG-15', '02-AUG-13', '03-AUG-13');
begin
pck.test_case(asd);
end;
after button that submit page i get this:

I am wondering wether it is possible to extend any type of collections (Associative Array,Nested Table, VArray) with custom functions.
I wish to be able to define custom functions in the same style I can do it for regular types using member functions. Using this, i would like to create a function which for example translates the content of my collection to a Character String by concating its items.
No, it is not possible.
What you can do is to encapsulate collection into another type like this
create or replace type my_array as table of varchar2(10);
/
create or replace type my_array_type as object (
arr my_array, member function do_something return varchar2)
/
create or replace type body my_array_type is
member function do_something return varchar2 is
l_temp varchar2(32767);
begin
for i in arr.first .. arr.last
loop
l_temp:=l_temp||arr(i);
end loop;
return l_temp;
end;
end;
/
Now you can try your concatenation function out:
declare
temp_array my_array:=my_array();
test_array my_array_type:=my_array_type(null);
result_string varchar2(32767);
begin
temp_array.extend(3);
temp_array(1):='a';
temp_array(2):='b';
temp_array(3):='c';
test_array:=my_array_type(temp_array);
result_string :=test_array.do_something;
dbms_output.put_line(result_string);
end;
As far as I'm aware Oracle does not provide a way to add methods or custom functions to a collection subtype. The alternatives I can think of are:
You could define a TYPE which wraps a collection and then define methods on the TYPE.
You could define a collection subtype in a package and then create procedures/functions in the package which manipulate the defined collection subtype.
Best of luck.
I have a need to test a stored procedure involving arrays that are written in PL/SQL. I have no way of seeing the PL/SQL contents (shop rules) but need to call the proc. I'd like to know how to call the following proc that invovles 3 arrays of integers directly from toad. The method signature looks like this.
Procedure persistChanges(myKey in NUMBER, arrayOfIntsFirst numberTableType, arrayOfIntsSecond numberTableType, arrayOfIntsThird numberTableType).
How can I call a PL/SQL proc in TOAD where I can hard-code the values for the paramters to test the proc? I'm told there's no way this could be done in Toad. Much appreciated!!!
I have to believe there's a way to poplate these variables but just not sure how to go about doing so...
DECLARE
myKey NUMBER;
arrayOfIntsFirst PL/SQL TABLE;
arrayOfIntsSecond PL/SQL TABLE;
arrayOfIntsThird PL/SQL TABLE;
BEGIN
myKey := NULL;
-- arrayOfIntsFirst := NULL; Modify the code to initialize this parameter
-- arrayOfIntsSecond := NULL; Modify the code to initialize this parameter
-- arrayOfIntsThird := NULL; Modify the code to initialize this parameter
MY_SCHEMA.PKG_MYPACKAGE.PERSISTCHANGES ( myKey, arrayOfIntsFirst,
arrayOfIntsSecond, arrayOfIntsThird );
COMMIT;
END;
Try something like:
declare
l_nums t_num_tab;
begin
l_nums := t_num_tab();
l_nums.extend(2);
l_nums(1) := 56;
l_nums(2) := 42;
for i in l_nums.first .. l_nums.last
loop
dbms_output.put_line( 'Number is: ' || l_nums(i) );
end loop;
end;
And Toad is just a development environment, it won't limit you from writing an anonymous block like above. The t_num_tab is defined as a table of numbers:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE t_num_tab as table of number;
You don't even need to formally extend the collection first and assign values. You can initialize in one step:
declare
l_nums t_num_tab;
begin
l_nums := t_num_tab(23,89,152);
...
end;
