How in ColdFusion with in variables get a Oracle stored procedure to return values?

Question

ORACLE 11g - COLDFUSION 9 - REF CURSOR - WITH at least one in variable.

How in ColdFusion with in variables get a Oracle stored procedure to return values?

We have tried several things, we can get a stored procedure to return a result set if we are not passing in variables but we cannot get them when we are passing in variables.

We know how to do it calling MS SQL.

Thanks for any help

P.S. we have heard this may not be possible with the current Oracle Driver is there a different Oracle driver?

From what I have been reading online I am thinking this is not just a coding issue. I hope I am wrong about that. This is just an example I was working on as a proof of concept so I can start creating all of them. I can get it work if I am not using a ref cusor.

Error Executing Database Query.

Answer 1

do you have the latest DataDirect JDBC drivers ?

v 3.5 drivers and release notes here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/42dcb10a.html

the release notes suggest it fixes your exact problem

Answer 2

There's a small note in the docs stating: "You cannot use the cfprocparam tag for Oracle 8 and 9 reference cursors. Instead, use the cfprocresult tag."

Try something along these lines:

<cfstoredproc 
    procedure = "BWNGDBADEV.PACK_REFCURSOR.GETALL" 
    dataSource = "mydatasourcename" 
    returnCode = "Yes"> 

    <!--- cfprocparam tags ---> 
    <cfprocparam type="InOut" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" variable="pPERSONNELID" value="4" null="No">
    <cfprocparam type="Out" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_REFCURSOR" variable="AnyVarName">

    <!--- cfprocresult tags ---> 
    <cfprocresult name="RS1" resultSet="1"> 
    <cfprocresult name="RS2" resultSet="2"> 

</cfstoredproc>
