Example 4: Functions declared and defined in a package and package body

Suppose that the Oracle stored procedure is defined as:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE "SCOTT"."SHDEMO_PKG" AS
type curtype is ref cursor;
Procedure empquery_proc (p_job in varchar2, cur OUT SHDEMO_PKG.curtype);
Function deptquery_func (p_dname in varchar2) return SHDEMO_PKG.curtype;
end SHDEMO_PKG;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "SCOTT"."SHDEMO_PKG" AS
Procedure empquery_proc (p_job in varchar2, cur OUT SHDEMO_PKG.curtype)
as
lcur SHDEMO_PKG.curtype;
begin
  open lcur for
  select * from EMP WHERE JOB = p_job;
  cur:=lcur;
end empquery_proc;
Function deptquery_func (p_dname in varchar2) return SHDEMO_PKG.curtype
as
lcur SHDEMO_PKG.curtype;
begin
  open lcur for
  select * from dept where dname = p_dname;
  return lcur;
end deptquery_func;
end SHDEMO_PKG;

To add the stored procedure into a JReport catalog, follow the steps below:

  1. Start JReport Designer and open an existing catalog.
  2. In the Data tab of the Catalog Browser, right-click the data source to which the stored procedure is to be added, then select Add User Defined Data Source.
  3. In the Name field of the Add User Defined Data Source dialog, specify a name for the UDS.
  4. In the Class Name field, input the UDS class jet.datasource.oracle.OracleProcedureUDS.
  5. In the Parameter box, enter one of the following:
  6. Click the OK button. The UDS class will then be added into the catalog.
