The function is clearly there, because I can navigate to it using SQL Developer and it compiles all fine, but when I try to use the function with or without "call", it throws:
Error(36,24): PLS-00222: no function with name 'x' exists in this
scope
This is how the function looks like:
create or replace function testfunction
(
somevalue in varchar2
)
return varchar2
AS
cursor testcursor IS
select column1, column2 from table1 t
where t.column1 = somevalue;
testcursorrec testcursor %rowtype;
messaget VARCHAR2(500);
begin
open testcursor ;
fetch testcursor into testcursorrec ;
close testcursor ;
messaget := testcursor.column1;
return messaget ;
end;
This is how I'm calling it:
messaget := testfunction(somevalue);
where both messageT and somevalue are declared as varchar2 type.
Are cursors not allowed inside function or something like that?
解决方案
the error would be messaget := testcursor.column1; as the cursor is closed by then (you should just use testcursorrec.column2.
you're code isn't checking for no rows, nor duplicate rows. you can simplify this to
create or replace function testfunction
(
somevalue in table1.column1%type
)
return table1.column2%type
AS
messaget table1.column2%type; -- use %type where possible.
begin
select t.column2
into messaget
from table1 t
where t.column1 = somevalue
and rownum = 1;--only if you dont care if theres 2+ rows.
return messaget;
exception
when no_data_found
then
return null; -- if you want to ignore no rows.
end;
