In object-oriented PL/SQL, I can add member procedures and functions to types. An example is given here:
create type foo_type as object (
foo number,
member procedure proc(p in number),
member function func(p in number) return number
);
create type body foo_type as
member procedure proc(p in number) is begin
foo := p*2;
end proc;
member function func(p in number) return number is begin
return foo/p;
end func;
end;
From: http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/plsql/oo/member.html
In PL/SQL, I can then call these member procedures/functions like this:
declare
x foo_type;
begin
x := foo_type(5);
x.proc(10);
dbms_output.put_line(x.func(2));
end;
How can I do it with JDBC's CallableStatement? I can't seem to find this in the documentation easily.
NOTE: This is one possibility, inlining the type constructor:
CallableStatement call = c.prepareCall(
" { ? = call foo_type(5).func(2) } ");
But what I'm looking for is something like this (using java.sql.SQLData
as a parameter):
CallableStatement call = c.prepareCall(
" { ? = call ?.func(2) } ");
Also, member functions, procedures may modify the object. How can I get the modified object back in Java?
In jdbc
you can parse and execute PL/SQL blocks with out
variables. You could prepare a callable statement such as:
declare
x foo_type;
begin
x := foo_type(5);
x.proc(10);
? := x.func(2);
end;
Then you can use CallableStatement.registerOutParameter and after the statement has been executed, use the appropriate get
function to retrieve the value.
You can access directly a FOO_TYPE
type directly in java, but do you really want to do this? See below for a working example:
SQL> create or replace and compile java source named "TestOutParam" as
2 import java.sql.*;
3 import oracle.sql.*;
4 import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
5
6 public class TestOutParam {
7
8 public static int get() throws SQLException {
9
10 Connection conn =
11 new OracleDriver().defaultConnection();
12
13 StructDescriptor itemDescriptor =
14 StructDescriptor.createDescriptor("FOO_TYPE",conn);
15
16 OracleCallableStatement call =
17 (OracleCallableStatement) conn.prepareCall("declare\n"
18 + " x foo_type;\n"
19 + "begin\n"
20 + " x := foo_type(5);\n"
21 + " x.proc(10);\n"
22 + " ? := x;\n"
23 + "end;\n");
24
25 call.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.STRUCT, "FOO_TYPE");
26
27 call.execute();
28
29 STRUCT myObj = call.getSTRUCT(1);
30
31 Datum[] myData = myObj.getOracleAttributes();
32
33 return myData[0].intValue();
34
35 }
36 }
37 /
This is a test class to show how you can use the method registerOutParameter
on an SQL object, let's call it:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE
2 FUNCTION show_TestOutParam RETURN NUMBER
3 AS LANGUAGE JAVA
4 NAME 'TestOutParam.get() return java.lang.int';
5 /
Function created
SQL> select show_testoutparam from dual;
SHOW_TESTOUTPARAM
