Hello all.

I am wanting to take a couple of PL/SQL codes that I have for retrieving student data and place them in WF (somehow) so others can run them. I've checked the HELP content and I haven't found anything on PL/SQL. I see only certain SQL functions are supported. Can anyone confirm that PL/SQL is supported or not? If so, where can I find documentation on this? Thanks

I'm sure there will be certain PL/SQL commands that are not supported. Why not create stored procedures from the code, then create WebFOCUS meta-data of the stored procedures?

Check documentation on the Adapter for Oracle for examples of how to use PL/SQL resources from WebFOCUS, via WF synonyms (metadata) or direct SQL passthru calls.

This is the document you'd need for WebfOCUS 7.6:

DN 4500931.1209 - Adapter Administration for UNIX, Windows, Open VMS, i5/OS, and z/OS 7.6.11


Prod/Dev: WF Server 8008/Win 2008 - WF Client 8008/Win 2008 - Dev. Studio: 8008/Windows 7 - DBMS: Oracle 11g Rel 2
Test: Dev. Studio 8008 /Windows 7 (Local) Output:HTML, EXL2K.

Use this syntax:

SQL SQLORA SET SERVER [YOUR ORACLE CONNECTION]
SQL SQLORA
[YOUR PL/SQL CODE HERE]
;
TABLE
ON TABLE HOLD AS ...
END


7.66 and 7.704
System: Windows / AIX / Linux
Output: Mostly HTML, with some PDF, Excel and Lotus(!)

Okay. SO what I'm gathering is that it can be done. I just need to gain this knowledge of how to do it. Let me check the documentation suggested and try the Oracle connection and explore. I'll repost aftewards. Thanks,

bug's method works for straight SQL. Thank you for that. However, when plugging in my PL/SQL, no go. There are some dynamic parms that could be the issue.

That's what I thought would happen. Is it not possible to create a stored procedure containing your PL/SQL, then call the stored procedure using straight SQL?

Francis, that may be possible. I'll have to try that. Would this work if I have dynamic parameters in the PL/SQL? I'm thinking it should but I want to make sure.

Thanks, P
