Fetching DB2 stored procedure cursor from jdbc - stored-procedures

I have a standalone java application which invokes a DB2 Stored Procedure and it is working fine.I have to fetch couple of cursors from the stored procedure and I am using the following syntax
callableStatement.registerOutParameter(169, com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Types.CURSOR);
callableStatement.registerOutParameter(170, com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Types.CURSOR);
I have my db2jcc.jar in my classpath.Compile time I donot have any error.While running the application I am getting an exception
Data type CURSOR is not supported on the target server. ERRORCODE=-4450, SQLSTATE=0A502
Any inputs please

Use of variable SET statement in stored procedures compiles but fires exception at runtime

In a Snowflake SQL-stored procedure, I would like to SET value of a variable like the following:
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS MY_DB.MY_SCHEMA.MY_SP_SQL();
CREATE PROCEDURE MY_DB.MY_SCHEMA.MY_SP_SQL()
RETURNS STRING NOT NULL
LANGUAGE SQL
AS
DECLARE
retValue VARCHAR;
BEGIN
SET retVal = '';
[...]
Everything rocks at compile time but fails at runtime with the following exception
Uncaught exception of type 'STATEMENT_ERROR' on line x at position y :
Stored procedure execution error: Unsupported statement type 'SET'.
despite documentation says this to be possible ๐Ÿคจ
Can someone gently explain to the noob of me? ๐Ÿ˜
Thanks,
Within a SQL stored procedure use LET instead of SET. The syntax for stored procedures (also known as Snowflake Scripting) is different from interactive SQL. The valid commands in SQL scripting are described in the Snowflake Scripting Reference

when packing a dbf table, an error is file is in use

When trying to make a request, it displays an error:
File is in use
How can I solve that program?
procedure TForm1.Button4Click(Sender: TObject);
var data,ffg:string;
begin
data:=formatdatetime('ddmm',(DateTimePicker1.Date));
Adoquery2.SQL.Clear;
adoquery2.SQL.text:='Delete from g_rabn where data=data';// deleting data from g_rabn
adoquery2.ExecSQL;
ShowMessage(SysErrorMessage(GetLastError));
end;
procedure TForm1.Button5Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Adoquery3.close;
Adoquery3.SQL.Clear;
adoquery3.SQl.text:='pack table g_rabn';// packing tablr g_rabn
adoquery3.Open;
ShowMessage(SysErrorMessage(GetLastError));
end;
end.
I can not delete data from the table, they are marked as deleted but require packaging. How to do it programmatically? He writes that file is in use when packing what to do?
You should execute the statement, not open it as a query. One way to achieve that, is to run it using an TADOCommand, not an TADOQuery, or use the ExecSQL method of the TADOQuery.
Also, all other connections to the DBF must be closed, otherwise you can't get the exclusive access that you need for packing the table.
I found this thread from 2005 on another forum, where somebody made this work with two notable parameters:
Using the provider VFPOLEDB.1
Using just the command pack filename.dbf (without the table keyword).
Lastly, I'm not so sure about the line ShowMessage(SysErrorMessage(GetLastError));. This will show you the last API error, but that's on a low level. You are using the ADO components, so if anything is going wrong, you should expect ADO to throw an exception. For all you know ADO already worked around the issue one way or the other, and the error message you're seeing is not even relevant.
I am surprised that I could not get the solution suggested in Golez Troi's answer
to work, especially as it refers to a newsgroup post from someone who had seemingly managed to pack a dBASE table using ADO; as I said in a comment, if I try to call 'Pack xxxx' to pack a dBASE table via ADO, however I do it, I get
Invalid SQL Statement; DELETE, INSERT, PROCEDURE, SELECT or UPDATE expected
.
I was also surprised to notice something in the MS ODBC dBASE docs that I'd not noticed before, namely that the MS ODBC driver for dBASE files requires the BDE
Note
Accessing dBASE ISAM files through the ODBC Desktop Database Drivers requires installation of the Borland database engine
So, seeing as accessing dBASE files via Ado requires the BDE anyway, there seems to me to be
no point avoiding using the BDE to pack the dBASE table using the standard BDE method, namely to call DbiPackTable. I added a TDatabase and TTable
to my ADO test project, after which I was able to execute this code without any problem
procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
try
// Insert code here to close any Ado object (TAdoConnection, TAdoCommand, etc) pointing
// at the dBASE table/file
// Also check that not Ado object pointing at it is open in the IDE
//
// Then ...
Database1.DatabaseName := 'MADBF2';
Database1.Connected := True;
Table1.TableName := 'MATest.Dbf';
Table1.Exclusive := True;
Table1.Open;
// Following uses a call to DbiPackTable to pack the target table
Check(DbiPackTable(Table1.DBHandle, Table1.Handle, nil, nil,True));
finally
Table1.Close;
Database1.Connected := False;
end;
end;
FWIW, while I was writing this answer, I noticed that the BDE.Int file (which gives the declarations but not the implementation of the BDE interface) was on the D7 distribution CD but was apparently not installed by default).

DB2 alter a stored procedure

I am new to DB2 and am stuck in altering a stored procedure.
I am on DB2 9.1 version, AIX.
I wrote following SQL in Toad (free version):
ALTER PROCEDURE THE_USER.BONUS_MAIN ( )
REPLACE VERSION V1 ( )
MODIFIES SQL DATA
CALLED ON NULL INPUT
INHERIT SPECIAL REGISTERS
OLD SAVEPOINT LEVEL
BEGIN
...
END
I got error message immediately:
ERROR [42601] [IBM][DB2/AIX64] SQL0104N An unexpected token "ALTER PROCEDURE THE_USER.BONUS_MAIN" was found following "BEGIN-OF-STATEMENT". Expected tokens may include: "".
Any tip?
There is no ALTER PROCEDURE statement, you'll need to drop and recreate the procedure. Additionally, you're on such an old version (DB2 9.1 went out of support in April, 2012), you don't even have an option to use CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE....

Calling Oracle Stored Procedures from iReport 5.6 and JasperStudio 6.1

I have an Oracle stored procedure within the package and I'm successfully run this stored procedure from Oracle SQL DEVELOPER and TOAD.
When I do call in iReport and Jasper Studio - no errors at all but report is blank, no records.
Is any idea?
Here is what I'm doing:
Query Language Executor is PLSQL;
{call DA.PLZ0018_UNION_PR_PKG.UNION_PR_REPORT($P{ORACLE_REF_CURSOR}, $P{P_COMP_CODE}, $P{P_PAY_DATE})}
Stor proc in Oracle screen is attached:
Screen shot is attached
Simply reference the cursor fields by name. For example, to get your first field, 'COMPANY_CODE', create a report field by the same name, then add it to your report. I'm not sure if case matters.
As simple as this sounds, I had to work backwards from a simple test. Try this if you are stuck:
Create a procedure in your existing package:
1) PROCEDURE get_test (p_refcur OUT SYS_REFCURSOR) AS
BEGIN
OPEN p_refcur FOR
SELECT 'Testing' as test from dual;
END;
2) Create a field named 'test'.
3) Add field to detail pane.

Getting Delphi 7 to play with SQL Server Compact 3.5

We have an old application that was written in Delphi 7. It is currently connected to an old Oracle Lite database that is being retired. The powers that be have chosen to move the data to a Microsoft SQL Server Compact database instead. After sepending a good amount of time moving everything over to the SQL CE database, I am now tasked with getting the Delphi application to play nice with the new databases.
The people who are supposed to be smarter than I am (my boss), tell me that I should be able to simply modify the connection and everything should be back in order. However, I have been banging my head against my monitor for two days trying to get the ADO connection in the Delphi application to work with our new SQL CE database.
A slightly simplified example of what I'm working with:
The connection is made in a global object with a TADOConnection named "adoConn":
procedure TGlobal.DataModuleCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
adoConn.ConnectionString := 'Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.CE.OLEDB.3.5;Data Source=path\db.sdf;';
adoConn.Connected := True;
end;
Shortly after this, a procedure is called to populate some messages. In an effort to trouble shoot the application, I've simplified the code to make a simple query and show the results in a message box. The procedure receives a parameter for the SQL string, but I'm ignoring it for now and manually inserting a simple select statement:
procedure Select(const SQL: string);
var
adoQuery : TADOQuery;
begin
adoQuery := TADOQuery.Create(nil);
try
adoQuery.Connection := Global.adoConn;
adoQuery.SQL.Text := 'select * from CLT_MESSAGES';
adoQuery.ExecSQL;
While not adoQuery.Eof do
begin
// Here I just created a MessageDlg to output a couple of fields.
adoQuery.Next;
end;
finally
adoQuery.Free;
end;
end;
Everything compiles just fine, but when I run the application I get the following error:
"Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value."
I've done some additional trouble-shooting and found that the error is happening at adoQuery.ExecSQL. I've tried several different versions of the connection string and a couple different ways of trying to query the data, but it all ends up the same. I either can't connect to the database or I get that stupid "Mutliple-step" error.
I appreciate, in advance, any assistance that can be offered.
Don't use ExecSQL for queries that return recordsets.
Set either the AdoQuery.Active property to True or use AdoQuery.Open to execute a SELECT statement.
UPDATE
After changing your code we see the real error which is DB_E_OBJECTOPEN.
UPDATE2
After digging deeper it seems that this is a known bug in the OLE DB provider and nvarchar fields bigger than 127 characters.
these references seem to confirm this:
SO: SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 gives "Multiple-step operation generated errors" error for simple query

Changing the cursor type to server side solved the 127 char issue for me :)
