All,
I am trying to open another session using input parameters passed to the
procedure. Can I open a session in a procedure and if so how do I stay in
the opened session?
Is it possible at all?
I am placing the code that I used.
Appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Radhika.
create or replace procedure open_session(userid_in in varchar2,
password_in in varchar2)
is
connect_string varchar2(14);
sql_stmt varchar2(2000);
curr_user varchar2(20);
cursor_handle integer;
feedback_v integer;
begin
connect_string := 'xxx_database'; --database connect string.
/* create a cursor to user fo the dynamic sql */
cursor_handle := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
/*construct the sql statement and parse it. */
sql_stmt := 'connect
'||userid_in||'/'||password_in||'@'||connect_string||';';
dbms_output.put_line('Constructed SqlStmt is: '||sql_stmt);
/* parse the sql statment */
DBMS_SQL.PARSE
(cursor_handle, sql_stmt, DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
/* execute the sql statement */
feedback_v := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(cursor_handle);
/* check to see which user is connected */
select user
into curr_user
from dual;
dbms_output.put_line(curr_user);
dbms_output.put_line('Feedback'||feedback_v);
/* close the cursor */
DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(cursor_handle);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
/* close cursor on failure */
DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(cursor_handle);
end validate_user;
