So I was able to run a procedure as an anonymous block, in what I’m guessing was the equivalent of our SE, and the results were displayed in a data grid below - including the results of the sysrefcursor which was one of the OUT parameters. Very cool. Also, I was able to do this because one of our devs sent me their test script that I could load up and run without me having to manually copy and paste the values in the substitution variables. Very cool as well.
Please can you implement these things in TOAD, it’s the #1 reason people give here for using PL/SQL Developer over TOAD. And I can kind of see why (now I have both installed).
Cheers
Richard
Hints and tips on how I could achieve the same in TOAD are most welcome, there’s so much I could have missed it, but it needs to be as easy as:
Send your SE window to someone, including your substitution variables and their values, so they can run it.
Run the script, which includes the anonymous block, and see the results of the sysrefcursor
As far as the copy and paste part goes, you can just paste their anonymous block
into the params window right now (instead of pasting each param in the grid).
Unfortunately, the refcursor out won’t display unless you go to the params
window -> Options -> Load into grid from memory. If you select that option,
Refcursor results are displayed on the REF CURSOR results tab once the execution
is finished.
We’ve expanded some of the capabilities of this window for 10.6 but we’re
planning on more improvements as we go.
“you can just paste their anonymous block into the params window right now”
But it doesn’t have their substitution variable in it right? It’s just the SQL with : prefixes but no values associated? PL/SQL Developer includes the values for all of the : variables so I can just load up the test script and execute it using the same variables that my colleague did.
“params window -> Options -> Load into grid from memory”
I have the following anonymous block:
begin
my_package.“my_Proc”(p_var_1 => :v_var_1,
p_sysref_2 => :v_sysref_2);
end;
How do I view the OUT results of :v_sysref_2? I can’t find the option you refer to in either the Options window or the pop-up Variables window.
The Params window has some of it's own options. It's the last button
on ghe toolbar.
We don't do it quite the same way ... We declare the variables in the
anonymous block so it looks like a full copy/paste won't behave the
same way.

You have to open the params window. It’s the last button on that windows
toolbar.

Which toolbar? What does the button look like? Can I get to it through the
menu?

Oooops...I should have said expanded for 10.5. Fingers are out of synch
w/the brain this morning. Maybe more coffee will help.

Thanks for that last screenshot, I didn’t want to have to ask again where that was. I wasn’t thinking of executing from the SB, I was looking in the SE. It might be an alternative option to look at.
