tables as parameters malfunction when using ruby-oci8 v2.0.6 #19
Description
When passing a table to a procedure, the table is received as empty when using ruby-oci8 v2.0.6.
Below is example PL/SQL and Ruby.
--BEGIN PL/SQL
--CREATE TYPES
create or replace
TYPE example_o AS OBJECT
(aa INTEGER, bb INTEGER);
create or replace
TYPE example_t IS TABLE OF example_o;
--CREATE PACKAGES
create or replace
PACKAGE EXAMPLE_PKG
IS
PROCEDURE oci_fail_example(example_table_in example_t);
END;
create or replace
PACKAGE BODY EXAMPLE_PKG
IS
PROCEDURE oci_fail_example(
example_table_in example_t )
IS
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line(example_table_in(1).aa);
-- ORA-06531: Reference to uninitialized collection results from the below
dbms_output.put_line(example_table_in(1).bb);
dbms_output.put_line('aaa');
END oci_fail_example;
END;
--END PL/SQL
BEGIN TEST SPEC EXAMPLE
require File.expand_path('spec/spec_helper')
plsql.dbms_output_stream = STDOUT
describe "The function oci_fail_example()" do
testdate = Time.local(2011,03,01,00)
test_table = [{ :aa => 1,
:bb => -1},
{:aa => 2,
:bb => -1},
{:aa => 3,
:bb => -1}
]
it "1. " do
plsql.example_pkg.oci_fail_example(test_table)
end
end
END TEST SPEC EXAMPLE
The reason for failure seems to be that ruby-oci8 2.0.6 does not work the same as 2.0.4.
The failure is experienced on 2.0.6:
F

- The function oci_fail_example() 1.

Failing tests!
If I rollback to 2.0.4, then it works as expected.
A possible short term fix is to depend on =2.0.4, not >=2.0.4
