RE: calling a stored procedure from a sitescope monitor

Chris,

I don't know what Sitescope is and I haven't used JDBC but can perhaps offer a suggestion.

You say foo doesn't have any arguments and that it returns a value. I take it that foo is actually a function then?

>From sqlplusw, what does "desc foo" show?

Consider the following:
SQL> create or replace function foo return varchar is   2 begin
  3 return 'a';
  4 end;
  5 /

Function created.

SQL> desc foo
FUNCTION foo RETURNS VARCHAR2

SQL> select foo from dual;

FOO

SQL> So, can you just do "select foo from dual" via JDBC?

If I've misunderstood, what is sitescope and how would you execute your foo from SQLPlus?

Regards,
Bruce Reardon

Has anyone done this? Let's say I have a procedure named foo and want to call it in a Sitescope monitor. There are no arguments to foo. I just want to call it and get the one value it returns. Freshwater doesn't have any doc for this and they've been sitting on my request for information for a week.

They do have a document with an example for SQL Server but nothing for Oracle. If Oracle were like SQL Server, you'd just put the name of the procedure in the query line on a typical database monitor, but I tried that and it doesn't work.

We're using the jdbc thin driver to a version 8.1.7.2 instance if it makes any difference.

Thanks.

-Chris
