CREATE PROCEDURE - how to check if successfully compiled?

Question

I'm using OCILIB.

Statements of the form CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE AA1 AS BEGIN XXX; END; are always successful (ie, no error or warning is reported). How can I check whether the statement was compiled correctly?

There should be a function to get that information (I hope).

Here is a quick & dirty example that shows the issue:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ocilib.h>

void print_error() {
  printf("Error:");
  OCI_Error *err = OCI_GetLastError();
  if (err) printf(" %d: %s\n", OCI_ErrorGetOCICode(err), OCI_ErrorGetString(err));
  else printf(" no error.");
  printf("\n");
}

int main (int argc, char **argv) {
  OCI_Connection *cn;
  OCI_Statement *st;

  OCI_EnableWarnings(TRUE);

  if (!OCI_Initialize(NULL, NULL, OCI_ENV_DEFAULT | OCI_ENV_CONTEXT)) {
    puts("Failed to initialize OCI");
    return 2;
  }

  cn = OCI_ConnectionCreate("XE", "<your user>", "<your pwd>", OCI_SESSION_DEFAULT);
  print_error();

  OCI_SetAutoCommit(cn, TRUE); print_error();
  st = OCI_StatementCreate(cn); print_error();

  OCI_ExecuteStmt(st, "create or replace procedure aaa as begin garbage end;");
  print_error();

  OCI_Cleanup();

  return 0;
}

Output:

$ ./ocitest
Error: no error.
Error: no error.
Error: no error.
Error: no error.

There was an issue in OCILIB that was not reporting SQL Warnings properly. This is fixed and OCILIB repository is up to date with the fix :)

You can check the status in the user_objects view:

select status
from user_objects
where object_type = 'PROCEDURE'
and object_name = 'AA1';

If that is not VALID, you can get the actual errors by querying the user_errors view:

select * -- or just line, position and text
from user_errors
where type = 'PROCEDURE'
and name = 'AA1'
order by sequence;

I'm surprised you don't get an exception, but this isn't a stack I use...
