Oracle member procedures
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Oracle UDTs can have object-oriented structures including member functions and procedures. With Oracle, you can do things like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE u_author_type AS OBJECT ( id NUMBER(7), first_name VARCHAR2(50), last_name VARCHAR2(50), MEMBER PROCEDURE LOAD, MEMBER FUNCTION counBOOKs RETURN NUMBER ) -- The type body is omitted for the example
These member functions and procedures can simply be mapped to Java methods:
// Create an empty, attached UDT record from the DSLContext UAuthorType author = create.newRecord(U_AUTHOR_TYPE); // Set the author ID and load the record using the LOAD procedure author.setId(1); author.load(); // The record is now updated with the LOAD implementation's content assertNotNull(author.getFirstName()); assertNotNull(author.getLastName());
For more details about code generation for UDTs see the manual's section about user-defined types and code generation.
