DBMS_DEFER_QUERY.GET_datatype_ARG

Synopsis

The GET_datatype_ARG function returns a value of a certain type (specified by datatype). The type of the returned value corresponds to the value of the argument specified by arg_no in the deferred RPC corresponding to callno.

There is one variant of the GET_datatype_ARG function for each of the Oracle-supplied datatypes.

FUNCTION DBMS_DEFER_QUERY.GET_datatype_ARG
   (callno IN NUMBER,                   
   deferred_tran_db IN VARCHAR2
   arg_no IN NUMBER,
   deferred_tran_id IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)
RETURN arg;

datatype can be any type in the following table.

Oracle7 and Oracle8

Oracle8 Only

CHAR

NCHAR

DATE

NVARCHAR2

NUMBER

BLOB

RAW

CLOB

ROWID

NCLOB

VARCHAR2

Therefore, any of the following are valid:

FUNCTION DBMS_DEFER_QUERY.GET_CHAR_ARG...
FUNCTION DBMS_DEFER_QUERY.GET_DATE_ARG...
FUNCTION DBMS_DEFER_QUERY.GET_NUMBER_ARG...
FUNCTION DBMS_DEFER_QUERY.GET_RAW_ARG...
