I have a SAR protected oracle database from which I need to expose a table to PowerBI.
I am not familiar with PLSQL.
I have managed to expose a column of the table to PowerBI.
Help is needed in 2 areas
1) I require help from you guys to return selective columns from the table
2) I require help from you guys to return all the columns from the table
DROP TYPE testarr;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE testarr IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(70);
/
GRANT EXECUTE ON testarr TO public;
DROP FUNCTION TestPowerBI
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TestPowerBI
RETURN testarr AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS
o_recorset SYS_REFCURSOR;
arr testarr := testarr();
pragma autonomous_transaction;
BEGIN
sar.pk_sar_enable_roles.............
commit;
OPEN o_recordset FOR
SELECT NAME FROM vw_people;
FETCH o_recordset BULK COLLECT INTO arr;
CLOSE o_recordset;
RETURN arr;
END TestPowerBI
Grant execute on TestPowerBi to public;
You may create a PIPELINED TABLE function.
let's say this is your table.
create table vw_people ( ID INTEGER, NAME VARCHAR2(10));
INSERT INTO vw_people(id,name) VALUES ( 1,'Knayak');
commit;
create an object and a collection of the object type
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE vw_people_typ AS OBJECT( ID INTEGER,NAME VARCHAR2(10));
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE vw_people_tab AS TABLE OF vw_people_typ;
This is your function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION testpowerbi RETURN vw_people_tab
PIPELINED
AUTHID current_user
AS
vwt vw_people_tab;
PRAGMA autonomous_transaction;
BEGIN
sar.pk_sar_enable_roles;
commit;
SELECT
vw_people_typ(id,name)
BULK COLLECT
INTO vwt
FROM
vw_people;
FOR i IN 1..vwt.count LOOP
PIPE ROW ( vw_people_typ(vwt(i).id,vwt(i).name) );
END LOOP;
END testpowerbi;
/
Query the output of the function as a TABLE
select * from TABLE(TestPowerBI);
ID NAME
---------- ----------
1 Knayak
