Cannot call a function when creating a dataset [message #658777]

Hello,

I ran into a problem I hope someone can help.

I created a function in Oracle 10g XE as such:

------
create or replace package GetEmployeeCursors is
type empResultSet is REF CURSOR;
function Funct1 return empResultSet;
end GetEmployeeCursors;
/

create or replace package body GetEmployeeCursors is function Funct1 return empResultSet is
tmpResultSet empResultSet;
begin
open tmpResultSet for
select * from employee;
return tmpResultSet;
end Funct1;
end GetEmployeeCursors;
/
------

The goal is simply to return a result set cursor so that I can query it when I create a new dataset in a BIRT report.

From the sqlplus command line, I am able to call function GetEmployeeCursors.Funct1 successfully in 2 different ways:

(1)
SQL> select GetEmployeeCursors.Funct1 FROM dual;

(2)
SQL> variable cursor_ret refcursor;
SQL> exec :cursor_ret := getEmployeecursors.funct1;

In creating a new dataset within BIRT, I set the Data Set Type to "SQL Select Query". On the Query screen, I entered:
select GetEmployeeCursors.Funct1
from FROM dual;
But I got the following error when I tried to preview the resutls:

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:odaconsumer.CannotGetResultSetMetaData
Error Message:Cannot get the result set metadata.
SQL statement does not return a ResultSet object.
SQL error #1: ORA-00903: invalid table name

If this works on the sqlplus command line, why doesn't it work within BIRT?
I thought the function returns a ResultSet object.
Can anyone pinpoint what should I be doing instead to call that function?

Thanks so much advance,
--Anna

It looks like you have the word "from" twice there. Remove the extra FROM and see if it works.

Hello Richard,

Thank you for noticing that typo error I had.
I re-typed my query on the query window correctly:

select GetEmployeeCursors.Funct1
from dual;

I still get an error message:

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:odaconsumer.CannotGetResultSetMetaData
Error Message:Cannot get the result set metadata.
SQL statement does not return a ResultSet object.
SQL error #1: ORA-00911: invalid character

Do you I am missing something from the Funct1 implementation? I can't figure out why the select statement above works on the Oracle cmd line but not within BIRT.

Thanks so much again,
--Anna

Here is what I did some time back. I haven't checked to see if it still works:

PROC DEFINITION:

create or replace package status_report AS
type t_cursor is REF CURSOR;
procedure get_statuses(io_cursor IN OUT t_cursor);
END status_report;
/
create or replace package body status_report as
procedure get_statuses(io_cursor IN OUT t_cursor)
IS
v_cursor t_cursor;
BEGIN
OPEN v_cursor FOR
SELECT name, id, description, is_active, is_default, status_type
FROM status;

io_cursor := v_cursor;
END get_statuses;
END status_report;
/

I'l have to see whether that works in 2.5.0 and Oracle 11.

I have the following working under BIRT 2.3:

In Oracle:

create or replace package birt_support AS
type t_cursor is REF CURSOR;
END birt_support;
/
create or replace procedure get_stattest( outcursor OUT birt_support.t_cursor )
as
begin
open outcursor for select name, id, description, is_active, is_default, status_type from status;
end get_stattest;
/

In BIRT:
Create a new report with an Oracle datasource pointed to my schema.
Create a dataset of type SQL Stored Procedure Query
For the query, either drag and drop or directly enter:

{call ROME.GET_STATTEST(?)}

If you drag and drop, the parameter should be automatically created. Otherwise you will need to do that yourself. In either case you want to check that you have:

Parameter Name = outcursor
Type = Any
Direction = Output

I'll have to post the XML of my test report separately. You'll have to translate the data connection to your own environment, of course.

Hello Richard,

Thank you so very much!
The stored procedure works now!

The following was set by default:

Parameter Name = outcursor
Type = Any
Direction = Output

Thanks so much again!
I will follow your example the next time around too!

Hello Richard,
I follow your example

Store procedure

PROCEDURE getAllStockModel( p_data OUT cursor_out)
IS

OPEN p_data FOR
SELECT * FROM stock_model;
END;

Query : {call getAllStockModel(?)}

Param: index.php/fa/20749/0/

=> error : index.php/fa/20750/0/

you can tell me why?
Thanks
