PL/SQL:
Two parameters that are mandatory for pl/sql type
concurrent program
Procedure/function (ERRBUF OUT
RETCODE OUT
………………….)
ERRBUF - Used to write the error message to
log or request file.
RETCODE - Populate log request file with
program submission details info
1. Describe the difference between a procedure,
function and anonymous pl/sql block.
should mention use of DECLARE statement, A
function and procedure are the same in that they are
intended to be a collection of PL/SQL code that
carries a single task. a function must return a value
while a procedure doesn’t have to.
2. What is a mutating table error and how can you
get around it?
This happens with triggers. It occurs because the
trigger is trying to update a row it is currently using.
The usual fix involves either use of views or
temporary tables so the database is selecting from
one while updating the other.
3. Describe the use of %ROWTYPE and %TYPE in
PL/SQL
%ROWTYPE allows you to associate a variable with
an entire table row. The %TYPE associates a variable
with a single column type.
4. What packages (if any) has Oracle provided for
use by developers?
Oracle provides the DBMS_ series of packages.
Such as DBMS_SQL, DBMS_PIPE,
DBMS_TRANSACTION, DBMS_LOCK,
DBMS_ALERT, DBMS_OUTPUT, DBMS_JOB,
DBMS_UTILITY, DBMS_DDL, UTL_FILE.
5. Describe the use of PL/SQL tables
PL/SQL tables are scalar arrays that can be
referenced by a binary integer. They can be used to
hold values for use in later queries or calculations. In
Oracle 8 they will be able to be of the %ROWTYPE
designation, or RECORD.
6. When is a declare statement needed ?
The DECLARE statement is used in PL/SQL
anonymous blocks such as with stand alone, non-
stored PL/SQL procedures. It must come first in a
PL/SQL stand alone file if it is used.
7. In what order should a open/fetch/loop set of
commands in a PL/SQL block be implemented if
you use the %NOTFOUND cursor variable in the
exit when statement? Why?
OPEN then FETCH then LOOP followed by the exit
when. If not specified in this order will result in the
final return being done twice because of the way the
%NOTFOUND is handled by PL/SQL.
8. What are SQLCODE and SQLERRM and why are
they important for PL/SQL developers?
Page 3 of 14
SQLCODE returns the value of the error number for the
last error encountered. The SQLERRM returns the
actual error message for the last error encountered.
They can be used in exception handling to report, or,
store in an error log table, the error that occurred in the
code. These are especially useful for the WHEN
OTHERS exception.
9. How can you find within a PL/SQL block, if a
cursor is open?
Use the %ISOPEN cursor status variable.
10. How can you generate debugging output from
PL/SQL?
Use the DBMS_OUTPUT package. Another possible
method is to just use the SHOW ERROR command, but
this only shows errors. The DBMS_OUTPUT package
can be used to show intermediate results from loops and
the status of variables as the procedure is executed.
The new package UTL_FILE can also be used.
11. What are the types of triggers?
There are 12 types of triggers in PL/SQL that consist of
combinations of the BEFORE, AFTER, ROW, TABLE,
INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and ALL key words:
BEFORE ALL ROW INSERT, AFTER ALL ROW
INSERT, BEFORE INSERT ,AFTER INSERT etc.
What is the dual table?
A single row table provided by oracle for selecting
values and expressions.
Describe the block structure of PLSQL. Declaration,
Begin, exception, end.
What is an anonymous block?
Unnamed PL/SQL block.
What is a PL/SQL collection?
PL/SQL Table, Varray, PL/SQL Array, etc.
What is a nested subquery?
A subquery in a where clause.
How can you tell if an UPDATE updated no rows?
SQL%NOTFOUND.
How can you tell if a SELECT returned no rows.
NO_DATA_FOUND exception.
How do you run Native Dynamic SQL?
Execute immediate.
What is an autonomous transaction?
Identified by pragma autonomous. A child transaction
separate from the parent that MUST be committed or
rolled back.
Implicit cursors - created for every SQL Query by the
DBMS without user interaction.
Explicit cursors - explicitly declared, opened, fetched
and closed by the user explicitly. The user has complete
control over the explicit cursor.
Delete command will log the data changes in the log file
where as the truncate will simply remove the data
without it. Hence Data removed by Delete command can
be rolled back but not the data removed by TRUNCATE.
Truncate is a DDL statement whereas DELETE is a
DML statement.
 AIM methodology and structure
The methodology used is similar to traditional software Workflow Tables :
project management methodologies. There are six • WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_STATUSES
phases within the project, these are: - • WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_STATUSES_H
Definition – establish the business objectives and
• WF_ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES
related requirements. Define the project work plan.
• WF_ITEMS
Operations Analysis – analyze the operations and
determine fit between organizational requirements • WF_LOCAL_USERS
and standard application functionality. • WF_LOCAL_ROLES
Design – develop detailed designs for the optimal • WF_LOCAL_USER_ROLES
solutions to meet the future business requirements.
Build – physical software system build and testing.
Transition – deploying the finished solution into the
organisation.
Workflow Views
Production – go LIVE! • WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_STATUSES_V
• WF_NOTIFICATION_ATTR_RESP_V:
ALERTS • WF_RUNNABLE_PROCESSES_V:
1. What are Oracle Alerts? • WF_ITEMS_V:
Oracle Alerts are used to monitor unusual or critical • WF_USERS
activity within a designated database. The flexibility of • WF_ROLES
ALERTS allows a database administrator the ability to • WF_USER_ROLES
monitor activities from tablespace sizing to activities
associated with particular applications (i.e. AP, GL, FA).
Alerts can be created to monitor a process in the FND TABLES
database and to notify a specific individual of the status
of the process. FND_APPLICATION
2. What types of Oracle Alerts are there? FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAMS
There are 2 types of alerts: Event Alerts and Periodic FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAMS_TL
Alerts FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS
a) EVENT ALERTS are triggered when an event or FND_FLEX_VALUES
change is made to a FND_FLEX_VALUES_TL
table in the database. FND_FLEX_VALUE_SETS
b) PERIODIC ALERTS are activated on a scheduled FND_REQUEST_SETS_TL
basis to monitor database FND_REQUEST_SETS
activities or changes. FND_REQUEST_SET_PROGRAMS
3. What types of actions can be generated when an FND_RESPONSIBILITY
Alert is triggered? FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL
When an alert is triggered or the event is true, the alert
can Email, send or print a message. Alerts also have
the ability to execute a SQL script to perform an action.
Using Response Processing, Oracle Alerts can solicit a
response from a specific individual and perform an
action based on the response that it receives.

4. What is Response Processing?

Response processing is a component of Alerts which
allows the recipients of an alert to reply with a message
and have the applications take some action based on
the response. Response Processing only works with
Oracle Mai products.

Interface Table Descriptions:
Customer Interface
RA_CUSTOMERS_INTERFACE_ALL
This table stores customer, address, and business purpose
information. ORIG_SYSTEM_ADDRESS_REF
ORIG_SYSTEM_CUSTOMER_REF, SITE_USE_CODE
AutoInvoice
RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL
This table stores transaction header and line information.
AutoInvoice uses Transaction Flexfields to uniquely identify
each transaction that you import into Receivables.
Lockbox Interface
When you run the Import step of AutoLockbox, Receivables
stores receipt data from your bank file in the
AR_PAYMENTS_INTERFACE_ALL Lockbox Interface table.
When you run the Validation step, Lockbox transfers receipt
data into the following QuickCash tables:
AR_INTERIM_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL
AR_INTERIM_CASH_RCPT_LINES_ALL
When you run Post QuickCash, the receipt data is transferred
from the QuickCash tables to the following Receipt tables:
AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_ALL
AR_RECEIVABLES_APPLICATIONS_ALL
AR_CASH_RECEIPT_HISTORY_ALL
AR

Page 6 of 14
AR
The type column identifies the receipt as either CASH or
MISC to indicate whether the receipt is a customer payment
or a miscellaneous receipt (not related to a receivable
activity). The amount column stores the net amount of the
receipt, while the receipt_number column stores the
receipt_number.

AR_CASH_RECEIPT_HISTORY table
• CASH_RECEIPT_HISTORY_ID column
• AMOUNT column
• STATUS column

AR_CASH_RECEIPT_HISTORY stores the current status

and history of a receipt. Each status change is stored as a
unique transaction, based on the primary key,
cash_receipt_history_id. The status column describes which
step of the receipt’s life cycle the receipt has reached.

Valid status values are:

• APPROVED – This is only valid for automatic receipts and
signifies the receipt has been approved for automatic
creation. These record types are never postable.
• CONFIRMED – This is only valid for automatic receipts and
signifies the receipt has been confirmed by the customer.
• REMITTED – This is valid for both manual and automatic
receipts and signifies the receipt has been remitted.
• CLEARED – This is valid for both manual and automatic
receipts and signifies the receipt has been cleared.
• REVERSED – This is valid for both manual and automatic
receipts and signifies the receipt has been reversed.

As the receipt moves through its life cycle, Receivables

inserts a new record into R_CASH_RECEIPTS_HISTORY
with the current_record_flag column set to ’Y’. Receivables
also updates the previous record related to this receipt, by
setting the current_record_flag to NULL and by setting the
reversal_gl_date. The amount column stores the amount of
the receipt. The cash_receipts_id column links
AR_CASH_RECEIPTS_HISTORY to AR_CASH_RECEIPTS.

Notes
Account Generator A feature that uses Oracle Workflow
to provide various Oracle Applications with the ability to
construct Accounting Flexfield combinations automatically
using custom construction criteria. You define a group of
steps that determine how to fill in your Accounting Flexfield
segments.
Account segment One of up to 30 different sections of
your Accounting Flexfield, which together make up your
general ledger account combination. Each segment
typically represents an element of your business structure,
such as Company, Cost Center or Account.
Accounting Flexfield The code you use to identify a
general ledger account in an Oracle Financials application.
Each Accounting Flexfield segment value corresponds to a
summary or rollup account within your chart of accounts.
Oracle Receivables – Accounting, Sales Tax Location,
Systems Items, Territory
on–account payment The status of a payment of which
you apply all or part of its amount to a customer without
reference to a specific debit item. Examples of these are
prepayments and deposits.
Cash receipts: Payment (such as cash or a check) that
you receive from your customers for goods or services.
Miscellaneous receipts: Revenue earned from
investments, interest, refunds, and stock sales.
AutoAccounting : default accounts for revenue,
receivable, freight, tax, unearned revenue, unbilled
receivable, finance charges, and AutoInvoice clearing
