I move from ODAC to dotConnect ASP.NET and during update with PL/SQL of a query I get an error

ORA-01036 illegal variable name/number

with ODAC it works properly.

declare 
  compcount integer;
begin
  select count(*) into compcount from competitor where name = :NAME;

  if (compcount > 0) then
    select id into compcount from competitor where name = :NAME;
  else
    INSERT INTO competitor
      (ID, NAME) 
    VALUES
      (SEQ_COMPETITOR.NEXTVAL, :NAME);
    select SEQ_COMPETITOR.CURRVAL into compcount from dual;  
  end if;

  insert into compet 
   (quo_id, competitor_id, offerprice)
  values
   (:Original_quo_id, compcount, :offerprice);
end;

what is wrong there ?

I sent you an example

The OracleCommand.CommandText property in dotConnect for Oracle can contain only one SQL statement. We recommend you to create stored procedure at the database side and call it via our components.

thank you for the respose

do you have a plan to implement the feature of update PL/SQL block during insert/update/delete ? otherwise I've to make a lot of storedproc

It should work for PL/SQL blocks, because several statements inside one PL/SQL block are considered as one command. Probably, you didn't create one of the used (NAME, Original_quo_id or offerprice) parameters. There is a known bug with the Direct mode when the parameter (NAME) is used several times.

yes, I use direct mode, and I simplified it, as you recommended, but without success

Code: Select all

declare 
  compcount integer;
  nam varchar2(35);
begin
  nam := :name;
  select count(*) into compcount from competitor where name = nam;
  if (compcount > 0) then
    select id into compcount from competitor where name = nam;
  else
    INSERT INTO competitor
      (ID, NAME) 
    VALUES
      (SEQ_COMPETITOR.NEXTVAL, nam);
    select SEQ_COMPETITOR.CURRVAL into compcount from dual;  
  end if;
  --insert into compet 
  -- (quo_id, competitor_id, offerprice)
  --values
  -- (:Original_quo_id, compcount, :offerprice);
end;

when do you solve the known issue in direct mode ?

Could you please try the latest 5.35.52 version of dotConnect for Oracle? If the problem persists with the latest version, please send us a small test project with the DDL/DML script of your database objects you work with using the above CommandText. We will try to reproduce the problem.

The problem still exists,I sent you a test app
