Asked by: helen_t23

Hi,
Following is the procedure I am talking abt.
 It ran suceefully before 2 weeks.I wonder what happened?
******************PROCEDURE create_user2*************
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure create_user2(v_username varchar2, password varchar2)
IS
username varchar2(200):=decrypt2(v_username,'magickey');
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create user '||username||' identified by '||password||'
default tablespace users temporary tablespace temp';
execute immediate 'grant connect,resource to '||username||'';
END;



I am running the above procedure from another user's schema as below:

exec prasanna.create_user2('two');
two is the parameter passed to the procedure create_user2.
The procedure has already been sucessfully created.

I am getting a error as:
exec prasanna.create_user2('two')
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
Please help me out to solve this

Regards
Prasanna

Hi,

Your create the procedure with 2 parameters:
... (v_username varchar2, password varchar2) ...
but pass only 1 in your line:
exec prasanna.create_user2('two')

Now, ORA-00900 would be some other issue, but I would start with this. Then, check if the procedure's state is still valid. Finally, what is the tool you use to execute the statement?

Hey
sorry for the typo error. I am passing 2 parameters. But it still gives me error. It ran well for me couple of weeks ago. I used sql*plus and am using sql*plus.(same oracle 8i enterprise edition version).What can I do?
How to check the procedure status?
I dropped the prcedure and crated them again.

regards
Prasanna

Hello werner,
The following is the mesage I got from the page you asked me to refer. But
1)HOw should I install the procedural option.
2)HOw should I chenck the status of the PL/SQL banner?

ORA-00900 invalid SQL statement

Cause: The statement is not recognized as a valid SQL statement. This error can occur if the Procedural Option is not installed and a SQL statement is issued that requires this option (for example, a CREATE PROCEDURE statement). You can determine if the Procedural Option is installed by starting SQL*Plus. If the PL/SQL banner is not displayed, then the option is not installed.

Action: Correct the syntax or install the Procedural Option.

I appreciate your help.

Regards
Prasanna
