Hello folks, could you supply some detail on:
"Client/Server: Oracle->Addes support for stored procedures retrieval and execution (within packages)" please? I'm concerned because we already run stored procedures in packages in 8.3.5! I hope the mechanism we use is not affected.

Thanks

What did not work before was discovery and execution of stored procedures and packages inside. Previous settings *should* work but I recommend you install VC on a test machine and transfer one Connection and one Job to confirm this. Please do this as soon as possible as we plan to release soon.

Seems to work fine. I never used that functionality before, I always just pasted the fully-qualified procedure name in and it was found just fine (schema.package.procedure). I tried it in 8.3.5 and I see where the problem was; the list was not complete or not sorted right.

A quirk to note: I have a ton of procedures in a package that return data into VC's stdout for that SQL task. It does this by using a sys_refcursor OUT parameter. When I select the procedure from the list, the OUT parameter is populated in the VC paramaters section (as a Variant . However, when run that task generates a "wrong number or types of arguments" Oracle error. By removing the parameter definition in VC for the procedure, all works as expected and data gets returned to STDOUT in VC. Not sure where the cause of this quirk lies.

Actually I found a bug. When I went back in o the SQL task after running it but cancelling a long-running query, the procedure name displayed, but the drop-down list was blank. I pressed refresh and the list was built and displayed the start of the list, as if the current procedure was not entered.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you think you can record both in Jing or similar and share the link? Also, please share any package/stored procedure details.

UPDATE:

2. this is actually a feature to avoid loading the full list every time - this opens the window faster as well. It also circumvents issues when no connection can be made against db.
