What SQL query are you running?

[rass76]

this one from examples:

select t.* from table( ExcelTable.getRows( ExcelTable.getFile('XL_DATA_DIR','sample_3.xlsx') , 'DataSource' , ' "SRNO" number , "NAME" varchar2(10) , "VAL" number , "DT" date , "SPARE1" varchar2(6) , "SPARE2" varchar2(6)' , 'A2' ) ) t ;

of course I chnged DB dir ...

[mbleron]

I don't reproduce the issue on your db version. Could you try a fresh install? Drop everything and recreate.

[rass76]

hmm okej, I tried to drop all object and reinstall but didnt' helped ( also tried to restart db). Only problem is to drop some java object, as you see on log from loadjava. I will try to go back to old version (2.x) which worked fine for us for one year. I have second idea to install 5.0 to diffent db user and let see, maybe some conflict with old install ...

[rass76]

So I created fresh new users with clean schema, install exceltable was sucessfull including loadjava objects. But still I get same error when trying to execute example select.

Could I have this iisue ? https://odieweblog.wordpress.com/tag/pls-00307/

There is mention same error what I got: PLS-00307: too many declarations of 'ODCITABLEDESCRIBE' match this call

[mbleron]

Well, the error described in the blog post happens when we call getRows with bind variables instead of static strings. Is that the case here?

[mbleron]

Just got another idea. What's the value of the CURSOR_SHARING parameter?

select value 
from v$parameter
where name = 'cursor_sharing';

If it's FORCE or SIMILAR, then Oracle will try to variable-ize string literals in the query, resulting in that error.

it was just idea, I am callining your first simple example as wrote with sample_3.xlsx

select value from v$parameter 3 where name = 'cursor_sharing' 4 ;

VALUE

SIMILAR

[mbleron]

That's the explanation then.

It'll work if you set back CURSOR_SHARING to EXACT at system or session level : alter session set cursor_sharing = exact;

or, if you can't do that, you may also override it at query level with a hint :

select /*+ cursor_sharing_exact*/ t.*
from table( ...

Hope that helps.

[rass76]

Yes ! That's it ... it works, perfect, thanks.

Now I must check why we have on our 12c RAC set similar and not exact what is default, similar is depredicated even on 11, interesting ...

[mbleron]

You're welcome. I'll add a word about this in the documentation.
