Hello,

I am new to using BIRT... I apologize if my question is too simple.

I am following the ClassicModels tutorial that came with the BIRT download. I am using the birt-report-framework-2_5_2 version and MySql 5.5.9 for Windows.

I finished the tutorial but I now want to call a stored procedure within a newly created Data Set.

Below is the code to my stored procedure in my .sql file:

create procedure ClassicModels.getAllCustInfo()
BEGIN
select state, city, customerName, phone
from customers
order by state, city, customerName;
END

Within the MySql command line prompt, I created this stored procedure and called it without any problems as such:
call getAllCustInfo();

When I go back to the the BIRT New Data Set dialog, this stored procedure is not listed under the 'stored procedure' item in the tree for my database schema that it belongs to. Thus, I cannot call this stored procedure.

Am I missing a step?

Thanks so much in advance,
--Anna

Anna,

In the new dataset editor are you choosing SQL Stored Procedure Query as
the data set type?
After setting the type you should be able to enter:

{call getAllCustInfo()}

as the query.

Hello Jason,

Yes, I did that but I got the following error after I click the "Finish Button" on the New Data Set dialog:

A BIRT exception occurred.
Plug-in Provider:Eclipse.org
Plug-in Name:BIRT Data Engine
Plug-in ID:org.eclipse.birt.data
Version:2.5.2.v20100209
Error Code:data.engine.fail.prepareExecution
Error Message:Failed to prepare the query execution for the data set: mySP
Failed to prepare the following query for the data set type (org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.SPSelectDataSet).
[{call ClassicModels.getAllCustInfo()} ]
Error preparing SQL statement.
SQL error #1: 'CLASSICMODELS.GETALLCUSTINFO' is not recognized as a function or procedure.

The last line in the error message indicates that GETALLCUSTINFO is not a stored procedure. It should be since I tested it fine on the MySql command line.

Am I missing a step?

Thanks,
--Anna

I don't know about MySQL, but in Oracle if you want to use a stored procedure to fetch a data set, you have to define the procedure to return a CURSOR type to the JDBC interface. It's neither intuitive nor simple. I suspect you'll need to find someone who has done this with BIRT and MySQL specifically to get an answer to your question.

Which leaves aside the main question, that being, why do you need to do that from the context of a stored procedure? BIRT can certainly execute what you're showing as a straight SQL query passed to the database back end.

Hello Richard,

I need to use stored procedures so that the intended end user does not need to have SQL smarts to create a report.

I am using MySql now just to follow the tutorial using the ClassicModels database that came with BIRT.

I will actually be using Oracle with BIRT for my work project after I get an understanding of how to call the stored procedure I created.

Just curious, how would I change the simple stored procedure below to return an CURSOR type as you suggested?

create procedure ClassicModels.getAllCustInfo()
BEGIN
select state, city, customerName, phone
from customers
order by state, city, customerName;
END

Thanks alot again,
--Anna

In Oracle (and it depends on which version of Oracle), I have to define the stored procedure similar to the following:

CREATE OR REPLACE procedure getcounterparties( p_cursor in out SYS_REFCURSOR)
as
begin
open p_cursor for select name, id from counterparty;
end;

I don't know how MySQL and the JDBC interface deal with stored procedure calls.

I just did this in MySQL:

--
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
-- Routine DDL
--
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
DELIMITER $$

CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `test`()
BEGIN
Select * from orderdetails;
END


In the dataset editor I then entered:
{call test()}

And it worked fine.

I know I have seen issues in earlier version of the jdbc driver for MySQL.
I am using:
mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar

Hello Jason,

Thank you for your solution.

I tried what you did and it works from the MySql command line but still not from within the BIRT gui.

I was wondering if you see your 'test' stored procedure listed in the 'Available Items' listbox in the New Data Set dialog.
If you do see it, then I think that is why it works from the BIRT gui.

I don't see my stored procedure listed in that listbox.

Thanks again,
--Anna

I do see it in the list. What version of the driver are you using?

Hello Jason,

The JDBC driver for MySQL I am using is:

mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin

I am using MySQL Server 5.5.

Do you think I need to run my 'create procedure' command on a tool that comes with MySQL Server 5.5 rather than on the MySql command line?

Thanks so much again for your help and insights.

Anna,

I am not sure what is going on here. I use MySql 5.1 and the driver:
mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar and it works fine.
