Hi,

im trying to retrieve a varchar2 defined column value in the following manner;

Statement *stmt;
stmt = conn->createStatement();
stmt->setSQL("select * from orders");

ResultSet * res = stmt->executeQuery();

while(res->next()){

string val = res->getString(9);// the var char is the ninth column
cout <<< val<<endl;

}

but i get a core dump when i do this. Is there any special way to access varchar2 variables in occi? Im able to retrieve other values without any probs. only the varchar2 one gives problems. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Dinuka

Once again, you have to use try/catch blocks.
Are you sure of your 9th column?
Try to just select this column.

Hi Michael,

Sorry if im being a pain here. its just that im not that familiar with using occi. havent faced these probs before. The core dump occurs only when i try to read in two string values and display on screen. other than that i havnt had any probs. Im using gcc 4.0. is that a prob? i think the source is built using gcc 3.4. i googled on this prob and found out that others too have had problems getting values using the getString method. some had said that you have to modify the character setting in the database as well as in the Enviroment settings. But that didnt work out for me. Any help will be much appreciated.

i did. but nothing seems to work. im on a dead line and this is stalling me. i only have the data retriving part left to do and i cant get it done because of this problem. Is there any other way i could get the string value without using the getString method? Im clueless on what i should do. please help.

And you will still rest without help until you copy and paste your ACTUAL code.
Make sure you read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.

Hi Michael,

Below i have given the code that im trying out. Please point me in the right direction on how to solve this one if possible.
Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment();
Connection *conn = conn = env->createConnection(user, password, url);
Statement * ordstmt;
ordstmt = conn->createStatement();
ordstmt->setSQL("select * from orders where event_time=to_date(sysdate)");

ResultSet * res = ordstmt->executeQuery();

while(rest->next){

//second, third. and fourth lines, it works fine. else i get a double free or corruption (!prev): 0x080b6600 error.

string comments = res->getString(9);//this is a varchar2 column
Timestamp t = res->getTimestamp(14);//this is a timestamp filed
string tstamp = t.toText("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss ",0);

string g = res->getString(10); // this is a char(1) value

}

ordstmt->closeResultSet(res);

please help.

thank you

Dinuka

After working through, i found out that this only happens when you call the call the getString method twice. The character encoding of the databse is US7ASCII. Is this a problem? and i think the national character encoding is OCCIUTF16. c++ only supports utf-8 yea? Could this be the problem? If so how can i correct this?

Have you tried the second getString() without the 2 following lines ?

Timestamp t = res->getTimestamp(14);//this is a timestamp filed
string tstamp = t.toText("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss ",0);

Is is working with just the 2 getString() ?

string comments = res->getString(9);//this is a varchar2 column
string g = res->getString(10); // this is a char(1) value

If you specify OCCI_STD_NAMESPACE::string is it working better ?

OCCI_STD_NAMESPACE::string comments = res->getString(9);
OCCI_STD_NAMESPACE::string g = res->getString(10);

Hi,

No its not working either way. Getting a "munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x080c69f8 ***" error when i tried with the second way you had said. I have defined the Environment as Default. Do you have to set it to some other value? I can only retrieve one string value. if i try to use it for the second time, i get an error.

Hi guys,

i found the solution. Was going to post it earlier, but was too much drowned with work. You can make occi work with g++4.1.x . You just need to download the latest patch which can be found at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/occi/occidownloads.html... copy that into the oracle client lib director and the getString problem wont be there.

Hope this helps
