Unable to debug user defined types?

Toad for Oracle
1

Hello,

code ran for years. Now for the first time I’m getting “No data found” and want to analyze what happens:

Defined type

Type intmaptable is table of integer index by binary_integer

declared local variable

fids intmaptable;

wrote code

for i in fids.FIRST…fids.LAST loop

trying to add watch at ‘fids’ leads to

undeclared identifier

Any ideas, how to watch and inspect user defined types?

Yours

Hi Matthias,

I think you have to copy them to a "normal" data type. It's been a while
since I did any watching of variables and I'm pretty sure this is what I
had to do using the DBMS_DEBUG system,

The JDWP debugger might be different? Have you tried that one?

Cheers,

I think you have to copy them to a "normal" data type.

I generally create a record type, then copy the fetched value into the record
variable. Toad has never had issues seeing the data in a record – as
opposed to a table/array/multi-record/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.

It’s actually not about Toad “seeing” the values…for all watches, we ask
Oracle for the value using the dbms_debug.get_value call. Unfortunately, we can
only show what Oracle will give us.

Whether it’s limited functionality you are using (like dbms_debug vs the
java debugger facility, or whatever reason…

However you’d like to explain it, I can see those values just fine in Toad
:wink:
