Example 3: Functions Defined Outside of a Package

This topic provides an example of a function defined outside of a package.

Suppose that an Oracle stored procedure is defined as:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE SHDEMO AS
type curtype is ref cursor;
end SHDEMO;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "SCOTT"."DEPTQUERY"(p_dname in varchar2)
return SHDEMO.curtype
is
lcur SHDEMO.curtype;
begin
  open lcur for
  select * from dept where dname = p_dname;
  return lcur;
end DEPTQUERY;

To add the stored procedure into a Logi JReport catalog, follow the steps below:

Start Logi JReport Designer and open an existing catalog.
In the Catalog Manager, right-click the data source to which the stored procedure is to be added, then select New User Defined Data Source. The New User Defined Data Source dialog appears.
In the Name field, specify a name for the UDS, for example, UDS1.
In the Class Name field, input the UDS class jet.datasource.oracle.OracleProcedureUDS.
In the Parameter box, enter one of the following:
- DRIVER=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver&URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@<hostname>:1521:oracle8"&USER=scott&PSWD=tiger& OWNER=SCOTT&PROCNAME=deptquery&SQL={? = call deptquery(?)}&REFCURSORINDEX=1&PARAMVALUE=@p_dname
- DRIVER=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver&URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@<hostname>:1521:oracle8"&USER=scott&PSWD=tiger& OWNER=SCOTT&PROCNAME=deptquery&SQL={? = call deptquery(?)}&REFCURSORINDEX=1&INPARAMVALUE=@p_dname,varchar,1
- OWNER=SCOTT&PROCNAME=deptquery&SQL={? = call deptquery(?)}&REFCURSORINDEX=1&PARAMVALUE=@p_dname
- OWNER=SCOTT&PROCNAME=deptquery&SQL={? = call deptquery(?)}&REFCURSORINDEX=1&INPARAMVALUE=@p_dname,varchar,1
Select the OK button. The UDS class will then be added into the catalog.
