[Mono-dev] Calling Oracle package with output ref cursor parameter

[Zsolt Petrény]

Hello!

 

I would like to ask whether calling Oracle package with output ref cursor
parameter is supported.

 

I am using Debian and the Oracle Client (despite it's not supported...) and
trying to get the output of a package as an OracleDataReader. AFAIK, this can
be achieved by declaring an output ref cursor parameter in the package and
then calling the ExecuteReader() method. It really works with .NET FW 1.1 but
not under Mono.

 

I have downloaded the new 1.1.9 version of Mono and checked its IL code and
noticed that OracleType.Cursor parameters are treated as characters
(DbType.AnsiStringFixedLength, OciDataType.Char). I suppose this is not
correct (especially because I get an exception with the message "ORA-06553:
PLS-306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GETDATA'").

 

So my question is, whether there's any way to retrieve rows by calling an
Oracle package and if not then when can we/I expect this to be implemented?

 

Regards,

  Zsolt Petreny

 

P.S.: I know, according to the http://www.mono-project.com/Oracle page
Cursors are not supported yet, but it's confusing to see it in the IL code...
