Question

Trying to make a django test application which will use stored oracle’s procedures to insert/get data.

Using jython with zxJDBC but same error applies with python and cx_oracle too.

here is some code snipets:

models.py

from django.db import models
from django.db import connection

class ALEX_TEST_PKG():
    def get_data(self, inparam1):
        cursor = connection.cursor()
        ret = cursor.callproc("ALEX_TEST_PKG.test0", inparam1)
        cursor.close
        return ret

views.py

class TestForm(forms.Form):
    inparam1 = forms.CharField(max_length=500)


def message(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = TestForm(request.POST)
    else:
        form = TestForm()
    if form.is_valid():
        my_util = ALEX_TEST_PKG()
        ret = my_util.get_data(request.POST['inparam1'])
        return HttpResponse(ret)
    return render_to_response('form.html', {'form':form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

oracle’s procedures:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY ALEX.alex_test_pkg
IS
   PROCEDURE test0 (inparam1 IN integer)
   IS
   BEGIN
      insert into alex_debug(col1) values(inparam1); 
   END test0;
END alex_test_pkg;
/

Any help is appriciated. breaking my head with this for 3 days already.

Answer 1

You’re passing the value from request.POST, where it’s always a string, but your stored procedure is expecting an integer.

Use form.cleaned_data['inparam1'] instead – the form will have converted it to the proper type, ie an integer.
