Your procedure expects an out parameter which you also need to provide:

Getting error while assigning values to records inside collection

I need to loop through some values inside the plsql code.
so trying to create a collection of records .
getting error as mentioned below.
Please help me to resolve
-- please see the code below
declare
type tab_name is record (t_name varchar2(30),col_name varchar2(30));
type tab_list is table of tab_name;
table_names tab_list:=tab_list(tab_name('ABC','abc'),tab_name('XYZ','xyz'));
begin
for i in table_names.first..table_names.last loop
dbms_output.put_line(table_names(i).t_name||'-'||table_names(i).col_name);
end loop;
end;

Error report -
ORA-06550: line 4, column 32:
PLS-00222: no function with name 'TAB_NAME' exists in this scope
ORA-06550: line 4, column 13:

*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:
Record type's name is not its initializer.
In fact, there is no initialization-like function for record types at all in oracle:
Documentation
Note that values are assigned separately to each field of a record in
Example 5-47. You cannot assign a list of values to a record using an
assignment statement. There is no constructor-like notation for
records.
You have to create each object separately and then create collection with them:
declare
type tab_name is record (t_name varchar2(30),col_name varchar2(30));
type tab_list is table of tab_name;
name_1 tab_name;
table_names tab_list;
begin
name_1.t_name := 'ABC';
name_1.col_name := 'abc';
table_names := tab_list();
table_names.extend;
table_names(table_names.last) := name_1;
name_1.t_name := 'XYZ';
name_1.col_name := 'xyz';
table_names.extend;
table_names(table_names.last) := name_1;
for i in table_names.first..table_names.last
loop
dbms_output.put_line(table_names(i).t_name||'-'||table_names(i).col_name);
end loop;
end;
Collections DO have initializers. However, in your case you have a collection of record types, so you would have to have your records pre-created to make use of it.

PL/SQL compilation error

What is wrong with the following statement:
DECLARE
int_exists INTEGER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(ItemKey)
INTO int_exists
FROM BIR_TabsForDashboard
WHERE ItemKey = 'Position';
IF( int_exists = 0 ) THEN --doesnt exist
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE BIR_TabsForDashboard ADD Position int NULL';
END IF;
END;
I get this report error:
ORA-06550: line 7, column 9:
PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "ITEMKEY": invalid identifier
ORA-06550: line 4, column 3:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
What could be wrong? It seems to work when I use it on another table but for some reason it comes up with this error when I do it to this specific table?
The table BIR_TabsForDashboard does not have a column named ItemKey.
Make sure the procedure which you are using is should properly declared in the place which you are using it. For an example if it is under an another user and in an another package then it should be in that same order. The username, package and procedure name.

Script that exec other scripts

I want to execute this script in PL/SQL but it keeps getting error

What is wrong with this.

Simple PL/SQL function to test if a string is a number

I'm experienced with T-SQL from SQL Server, but have recently begun working on a project utilizing an Oracle database (11g) and am having some issues writing what seems to be basic code.
I need to test whether a set of values are numeric, and only insert them into a table if they are. PL/SQL doesn't seem to have an is_number function, so I wrote my own based on an AskTom question.
create or replace
function IS_NUMBER(str in varchar2) return boolean
IS
n number;
BEGIN
select to_number(str) into n from dual;
return (true);
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
return (false);
END;
Eventually, I'd like to use this function in a WHERE clause, but for now I'm just trying to get it to run at all:
declare
str varchar2(1);
n boolean;
begin
str := '0';
select ca_stage.is_number(str) into n from dual;
end;
In SQL Developer, trying to run this gives me the following error report:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 6, column 39:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
ORA-06550: line 6, column 19:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:
The error report is straight-forward, but doesn't make sense. The function accepts a varchar2, and that's what I'm using as an input variable. It returns a boolean and again, that's what I'm using.
As I said, this is basic code, so I assume that I'm missing something fundamental.
Return a SQL datatype, e.g. VARCHAR2. Also, I'd recommend against using WHEN OTHERS. Also, you don't need a query on dual:
create or replace
function IS_NUMBER(str in varchar2) return varchar2
IS
n number;
BEGIN
n := to_number(str);
return 'Y';
EXCEPTION WHEN VALUE_ERROR THEN
return 'N';
END;
