java - passing array in oracle stored procedure

Question

I have a Java app accessing an oracle stored procedure. The arguments to the stored procedure include an array type. I do it like the following...

con = this         


        

Answer 1

the type VARCHAR2_ARR is a PLSQL type, you won't be able to interface it directly from java. I suggest you look into this thread on AskTom regarding a similar question.

Here are a couple suggestions:

• create a SQL TYPE that you can bind from java
• insert into a temporary table from java and read from it in plsql

In both cases you will have to either modify the PLSQL procedure or add a new translation procedure.
