Calling an Oracle procedure with a PL/SQL collection type parameter via .NET

Question

I\'m trying to call an Oracle stored procedure via .NET. Normally this isn\'t a problem, but this stored procedure contains a parameter that is a PL/SQL collection type:

Answer 1

Procedure call via ODP.NET supports only Associative arrays, i.e. with INDEX BY ..., Nested Tables are not supported.

One solution is to convert in in your Orale procedure:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE test_package_gkeu IS

    TYPE test_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER;    
    TYPE test_type_associative IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY INTEGER;

PROCEDURE TEST1 (pvTest IN test_type_associative ) IS

v test_type := test_type();
BEGIN
   v.Extend(pvTest.COUNT);
   for i in pvTest.First..pvTest.Last loop
       v(i) := pvTest(i)
   end loop;

select *
into ...
from receiver r
where r.receiverid MEMBER OF (v);

END;

For DML statements consider also this:

FORALL i IN INDICES OF pvTest 
    INSERT INTO MY_TABLE (COL_A)
    VALUES (pvTest(i));

or 

FORALL i IN INDICES OF pvTest 
    DELETE FROM receiver 
    WHERE receiverid  = pvTest(i);
