PLSQL Commons v1.0How to enrich the programmers PLSQL toolkitArnold Reuser

Agenda 1 Serving a need 2 What PLSQL Commons can do for you 3 How you can make a differencePage  2 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Serving a needReusable PLSQL Components PLSQL Commons is a project focused on creating and maintaining reusable PLSQL components. Components that will enrich the PLSQL programmers toolkit Components that promote the programmers shift from solving purely technical problems to actual business problemsPage  3 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Serving a needReusable PLSQL Components PLSQL Commons is used by a CRM service provider of General Motors to handle their specific needs Used on their production Oracle database servers as the defacto standard components for the past three yearsPage  4 PLSQL Commons v1.0

What PLSQL Commons can do for you Current status Practical applicationsPage  5 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Current StatusThere are several upcoming sandbox components not mentioned.This presentation will focus on just a few components. Component Focus plsql_async Parallel processing of tasks plsql_cache General purpose memory based caching plsql_error Exception management plsql_file Reading and writing operating system text files plsql_ftp Copy a file from one host to another based on the ftp protocol. plsql_host Executing a command in the host environment plsql_log Logging application behavior plsql_match Text search engine plsql_test Writing repeatable unit tests plsql_timeit Measuring the execution time of a program unit plsql_util General purpose utilities plsql_soap Lightweight webservices based on the soap protocolPage  6 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsParallel processing of tasks Imagine a potential pipeline of an ETL process to load CRM data. The pipeline passes several processing elements.Page  7 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsParallel processing of tasks If the elements Address and Communication are independent. The pipeline could be organized to process these elements in parallelPage  8 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsParallel processing of tasks Fundamental questions : • How can you maintain the processing flow? • What if Address and Communication would like to pass their identifiers?Page  9 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsParallel processing of tasks The answers provided : - plsql_async can be used to route and maintain the processing flow - plsql_async can be used to pass information between sequential processes - plsql_cache can be used to cache session and cross-session based information Read the user guide for more details on this. If your interest in building a processing flow. Read the book Enterprise Integration Patterns.Page  10 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsException management Assertion at any location you assume will not be reached. gender char(1) := A; plsql_test.assert(gender in (M,F),Gender can be M or F; current value is {1},varchars_t(gender)); Error to identify an exceptional condition that an application might want to catch soapFaultReason varchar2(100) := ImportDataRecord has been invoked at an illegal or inappropriate time.; err.raise(err.SOAPFaultException,operation raised exception : {1},varchars_t(soapFaultReason));Page  11 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsTesting application behavior plsql_test is a testing facility for the plsql programming plsql_test will help you : - measure your progress, spot unintended side effects, and focus your development efforts - without automated testing tools like this facility retesting can be a tedious and inaccurate process. - by allowing the testing process to occur frequently and automatically, you can keep software coding errors at a minimumPage  12 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsTesting application behavior Developing a test suite create package body test_plsql_util_pck as procedure t_varchars is vt1 varchars_t:= new varchars_t(A,B); begin plsql_test.assert(vt1.count = 2,list contains only two elements); end; procedure t_isWhiteSpace is cause varchar2(2000) := incorrect implementation of contract; begin plsql_test.assert(putil.isWhiteSpace( ),cause); -- a space is whitespace plsql_test.assert(not putil.isWhiteSpace(null),cause); -- null is not whitespace plsql_test.assert(not putil.isWhiteSpace(),cause); -- empty string is not whitespace end; end;  Each and every package can become a test suite. - Just add a few procedures with prefix t_ to turn it into a test suite. - Once thats done. It can be run as a test suite.Page  13 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsTesting application behavior Running a test suite DBMS Output ===== Run Test Suite ==== plsql_test.runTestSuite unit TST_PLSQL_UTIL_PCK.T_ISWHITESPACE succeeded ( module => test_plsql_util_pck unit TST_PLSQL_UTIL_PCK.T_VARCHARS succeeded , runAll => true ===== Test Report ===== ); Run 2 tests of which 2 succeeded and 0 failedPage  14 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsLogging application behavior Sneak Preview DBMS Output 20110113-10:47:45.228 INFO gender is M plog.turn_on; gender char(1) := M; plog.info(gender is {1},varchars_t(gender));  Logging supports - Different layout types : text, rich_text, custom - Different output types : dbms_pipe, dbms_output, http, table - Different levels of logging : trace, debug, info, info, warn, error, fatal  Read the userguide for more details on this.Page  15 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsMeasuring application behavior Sneak Preview number idx; plsql_timeit.remove; plsql_timeit.start_watch(pp_context => assignment); idx := 1; plsql_timeit.stop_watch(pp_context => assignment); plog.info(took {1} millisec,varchars_t(mmit_plsql_timeit_pck.period(pp_context => assignment,pp_total => true));  plsql_timeit is a facility to measure the execution time of a program unit - measure if the execution time of your code is fit for use  plsql_timeit and plsql_test could be combined to introduce load, volume, overload and stress test functionality.Page  16 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsGeneral purpose utilities Sneak Preview var varchar2(200) := chr(10); -- new line isWhiteSpace boolean := putil.isWhiteSpace(var); plog.info(putil.toChar(isWhiteSpace));  The standard libraries fail to provide enough general purpose methods.  plsql_util provides these methodsPage  17 PLSQL Commons v1.0

Practical ApplicationsGeneral purpose utilities Sneak Preview list StringList := new StringList(el2,el1); list := putil.sort(list); val varchar2(32767) := putil.join(list,#); list := putil.split(val,#);  The standard libraries fail to provide enough general purpose methods.  plsql_util provides these methodsPage  18 PLSQL Commons v1.0
