Problem with DCOracle2 stored procedure calls

C

Christian Long

Hi

I'm having trouble with some stored procedure calls on DCOracle2. I think
the trouble is with dynamic binding.

See version & environment info at end of message


I have 2 stored procedures - call them M4 and M5. They have similar (but not
the same) parameters, and are called from python in a similar manner. M4
succeds and M5 fails. M5 fails because a null string termination character
\x00 has been appended to certain argument, so the argument value does not
match the value in the database table.

Both stored procedures succeed when called from Oracle SQL*Plus

My Python code and the stored procedure signatures are all at the end of the
message

------

M4 results viewed from Python - Succeeds

Before procedure call
('1779', '199318', OracleDate("2003-08-07 00:00:00"), 1.0, 'EA', 'A',
'Q26BB', None, 'NA', 'M4 Inv Adjust', None, 'Adjust', 1, 'Y', None, None,
None)

After procedure call
['1779', '199318', OracleDate("2003-08-07 00:00:00"), 1.0, 'EA', 'A',
'Q26BB', None, 'NA', 'M4 Inv Adjust', None, 'Adjust', 1, 'Y',
'AAAKfBAAGAAAfXBAAd', 'N', None]

Updated inventory

M5 results viewed from Python - Fails

Before procedure call
('1779', '199318', OracleDate("2003-08-07 00:00:00"), 1.0, 'EA', 'A',
'Q26BB', 'A', 'Q26FB', None,
'M5 Bin Move', 76746, 'RC', None, None, None)

After procedure call
['1779', '199318', OracleDate("2003-08-07 00:00:00"), 1.0, 'EA\x00',
'A\x00', 'Q26BB\x00', 'A\x00', 'Q26FB\x00', None,
'M5 Bin Move', 76746, 'RC', None, 'Y', 'Area/Bin does not exist in location
master, please enter a valid location.']

An error occurred while saving changes. Changes were not saved.
^--- My error message ----------------------------------------^

Area/Bin does not exist in location master, please enter a valid location.
^--- Oracle stored procedure error message ------------------------------^

-------

As we can see, a null string termination character \x00 has been appended to
five arguments in the returned values form the M5 procedure call.


Thanks very much for your help.

I did a diff between the tracelog files. Here are some interesting
snippets. Let me know if you want the full dump files. ~1MB.

It looks like the failing call is using dynamic binding , and the successful
one is using static.

Here we see the calls to two different stored procedures

<snip>

< 33, OCIStmtPrepare, Ox########, Ox######## ?= BEGIN
PROCIAPI.ADJUST_INVENTORY:)1,:2,:3,:4,:5,:6,:7,:8,:9,:10,:11,:12,:13,:14,:15
,:16,:17); END;, 98, *
---
33, OCIStmtPrepare, Ox########, Ox######## ?= BEGIN
PROCIAPI.ICBM_MOVE:)1,:2,:3,:4,:5,:6,:7,:8,:9,:10,:11,:12,:13,:14,:15,:16);
END;, 87, *

</snip>


This looks like a trouble spot:
64, bindObject, BindingArrayObject, *
18, bindObject, 0, 1, Ox########, 256, *
33, OCIBindByPos, Ox########, 5, Ox########, 256, 1, 0, *
97, OCIBindByPos, supplemental, 0, Ox########, 2, 3, * 7245a7660,7661
33, OCIBindDynamic, Ox########, *
34, OCIBindDynamic, 0, OUT, Ox########, Ox########, *
7253,7256c7669,7672
< 64, bindObject, SQLT_STR, Ox######## ?= A, *
< 18, bindObject, 0, 5, Ox########, 2, *
< 33, OCIBindByPos, Ox########, 6, Ox########, 2, 5, 0, *
< 97, OCIBindByPos, supplemental, 0, Ox########, 0, 2, *
---

</snip>


And later, we see datatype conflict in the dynamic binding of the failing
stored procedure. Note the points of failure correspond to the parameters
that come back with \x00 appended to them. EA, A, Q26BB, A Q26FB
33, OCIBindByPos, Ox########, 16, Ox########, 256, 1, -1, * 7411a7827,7871
17, dynamicBindIn, Ox########, 0, 0, *
18, dynamicBindIn, Ox######## ?= xg, 7, Ox########, 0, 0, *
17, dynamicBindIn, Ox########, 0, 0, *
20, dynamicBindIn, datatype conflict, 1, 5, *
18, dynamicBindIn, Ox######## ?= EA, 3, Ox########, 0, 0, * <-Note "EA"
17, dynamicBindIn, Ox########, 0, 0, *
20, dynamicBindIn, datatype conflict, 1, 5, *
18, dynamicBindIn, Ox######## ?= A, 2, Ox########, 0, 0, * <- "A"
17, dynamicBindIn, Ox########, 0, 0, *
20, dynamicBindIn, datatype conflict, 1, 5, *
18, dynamicBindIn, Ox######## ?= Q26BB, 6, Ox########, 0, 0, * <- "Q26BB"
17, dynamicBindIn, Ox########, 0, 0, *
20, dynamicBindIn, datatype conflict, 1, 5, *
18, dynamicBindIn, Ox######## ?= A, 2, Ox########, 0, 0, * <- "A"
17, dynamicBindIn, Ox########, 0, 0, *
20, dynamicBindIn, datatype conflict, 1, 5, *
18, dynamicBindIn, Ox######## ?= Q26FB, 6, Ox########, 0, 0, * <- "Q26FB"
17, dynamicBindOut, Ox########, 0, 0, 0, *
161, OCIAttrGet, Ox########, OCI_HTYPE_BIND, Ox########,OCI_ATTR_ROWS_RETURNED, *
162, OCIAttrGet, 0, 0, *
18, dynamicBindOut, Ox########, Ox########, 256, Ox########, Ox########,*

The mra_data_m*.call*Procedure(parameters) functions are very simple, as
follows

<snip>
PROC_NAME = "prociapi.icbm_move"

c = cn.cursor()

spParams = c.callproc(PROC_NAME, *spParams)

return spParams
</snip>

All the data access functions share one DCOracle2.connection object, and
each function declres its own cursor. M5 fails consistently, i.e. it
doesn't matter if M4 is run first or not, M5 fails.
