Note:


GET_CALL_ARGS Procedure

This procedure returns the text version of the various arguments for the specified call. The text version is limited to the first 2000 bytes.

Syntax

DBMS_DEFER_QUERY.GET_CALL_ARGS (
   callno    IN  NUMBER,
   startarg  IN  NUMBER := 1,
   argcnt    IN  NUMBER,       
   argsize   IN  NUMBER,     
   tran_id   IN  VARCHAR2, 
   date_fmt  IN  VARCHAR2, 
   types     OUT TYPE_ARY,  
   forms     OUT TYPE_ARY,
   vals      OUT VAL_ARY);

Parameters

Table 13-8 GET_CALL_ARGS Procedure Parameters

Parameter Description
callno

Identification number from the DEFCALL view of the deferred remote procedure call (RPC).

startarg

Numerical position of the first argument you want described.

argcnt

Number of arguments in the call.

argsize

Maximum size of returned argument.

tran_id

Identifier of the deferred transaction.

date_fmt

Format in which the date is returned.

types

Array containing the types of arguments.

forms

Array containing the character set forms of arguments.

vals

Array containing the values of the arguments in a textual form.


Exceptions

Table 13-9 GET_CALL_ARGS Procedure Exceptions

Exception Description
NO_DATA_FOUND

Input parameters do not correspond to a parameter of a deferred call.



GET_datatype_ARG Function

This function determines the value of an argument in a deferred call.

The ANYDATA type supports the following user-defined types: object types, collections and REFs. Not all types supported by this function can be enqueued by the ANYDATA_ARG procedure in the DBMS_DEFER package.

The returned text for type arguments includes the following values: type owner, type name, type version, length, precision, scale, character set identifier, character set form, and number of elements for collections or number of attributes for object types. These values are separated by a colon (:).

See Also:

Syntax

Depending upon the type of the argument value that you want to retrieve, the syntax for the appropriate function is as follows. Each of these functions returns the value of the specified argument.

DBMS_DEFER_QUERY.GET_datatype_ARG (
   callno             IN   NUMBER,
   arg_no             IN   NUMBER,
   deferred_tran_id   IN   VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)
  RETURN datatype;

where datatype is:

{ ANYDATA
| NUMBER
| VARCHAR2
| CHAR
| DATE
| RAW
| ROWID
| BLOB
| CLOB
| NCLOB
| NCHAR
| NVARCHAR2 
| IDS
| IYM
| TIMESTAMP
| TSLTZ
| TSTZ }

Parameters

Table 13-10 GET_datatype_ARG Function Parameters

Parameter Description
callno

Identification number from the DEFCALL view of the deferred remote procedure call.

arg_no

Numerical position of the argument to the call whose value you want to determine. The first argument to a procedure is in position 1.

deferred_tran_id

Identifier of the deferred transaction. Defaults to the last transaction identifier passed to the GET_ARG_TYPE function. The default is NULL.


Exceptions

Exception Description
NO_DATA_FOUND

Input parameters do not correspond to a parameter of a deferred call.

ORA-26564

Argument in this position is not of the specified type or is not one of the types supported by the ANYDATA type.



GET_OBJECT_NULL_VECTOR_ARG Function

This function returns the type information for a column object, including the type owner, name, and hashcode.

Syntax

DBMS_DEFER_QUERY.GET_OBJECT-NULL_VECTOR_ARG (
   callno                IN   NUMBER,
   arg_no                IN   NUMBER,
   deferred_tran_id      IN   VARCHAR2)
  RETURN SYSTEM.REPCAT$_OBJECT_NULL_VECTOR;

Parameters
