Support for named/mixed sub-program parameters Quote:Does SQL*XL supports named/mixed sub-program parameters? Bellow, is an example.
raise_salary(amount => bonus, emp_id => emp_num); -- named parameters
raise_salary(emp_num, amount => bonus); -- mixed parameters
For more info, please refer to Oracle’s PL/SQL Guide and Reference - Passing Parameters to PL/SQL Subprograms.
This will work fine. As a test I have created a database procedure and using the ORAOLEDB driver (provider) I will execute a call to the procedure with different parameters.
The test procedure I created:
Code:
procedure DoNothing(param1 in number, param2 in number)
as
begin
null;
end;
In SQL*XL I typed the following PL/SQL blocks. I actually typed these in the spreadsheet. Selecting the cells that contain the PL/SQL I opened the SQL dialog and I ran the code using the option that all cells make 1 statement.
Test 1:
Code:
begin
DoNothing(1,2);
end;
Worked without problems.
Test 2:
Code:
begin
DoNothing(param1=>1,param2=>2);
end;
Worked without problems.
Test 3:
Code:
begin
DoNothing(1,param2=>2);
end;
Worked without problems.
Test 4:
Code:
begin
DoNothing(param1=>1,2);
end;
An error occurred but that is ok. This statement is not correct as when you use mixed mode the fixed parameters should go first. The error received was:
ORA-6550
PLS-00312: a positional parameter association may not follow a named association
