Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.tools -> Delete Procedure Behaving Strangely
Hello:
I have written the following stored procedure below....
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "USP_ACTIVEINGREDIENTS_DELETE"
(
ActiveIngredientNo IN tblActiveIngredients.ActiveIngredientNo%TYPE,
retval OUT NUMBER
)
AS
BEGIN
DELETE FROM
tblActiveIngredients WHERE "ACTIVEINGREDIENTNO" = ActiveIngredientNo;
retval := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
COMMIT; END; When I run the procedure in SQL PLUS using the following code.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SET AUTOCOMMIT ON;
DECLARE
P9 NUMBER;
BEGIN
usp_ActiveIngredients_Delete(<any number>, P9); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(P9);
The procedure executes and deletes ALL rows in my table, not just the one with the key I have specified. I am utterly confused, as this makes no sense. If I type the SQL directly into SQL Plus "Delete From tblActiveIngredients Where ActiveIngredientNo = <AnyNumber>" it works fine.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
JG
