Using OracleParameter in ExecuteStoreQuery Error Msg : " Value does not fall within the expected range."

Question

In order to prevent SQLinjection. I need to change my code from simple String to OracleParameter. Also I need to bypass LINQ because of its limitation in my WHERE CLAUSE as you can see below and last for better performance. By the way this code is working before I use OracleParameter.

I got this error message "Value does not fall within the expected range". What's wrong or missing on my code, specially on OracleParameter and ExecuteStoreQuery part?

I'm using the following:

VS 2010
Oracle 11gR2
C#

Code(.cs)

public List<ProgramAssetCodeViewModel> GetAssetToList(long _channelID, DateTime _startDate, DateTime _endDate, DateTime _startTime, DateTime _endTime, string _programName, bool isActualAiring)

How about fixing your indentation/linelength to make it readable? — Mitch Wheat, Nov 18 '13 at 03:31

Why do you have CHANNEL_ID commented out but it exists in the query string? — ckross01, Nov 18 '13 at 03:50
Is `new {}` required in the second param of ExecuteStoreQuery? Or it must be new `OracleParameter[] {}` ? — nix, Nov 18 '13 at 03:54
There was no ORA Error Code @ChristianMark..Maybe this error is on the Front end only..I think I know how to solve this.. :))) — Olrac, Nov 18 '13 at 05:02

I got an example on usage of context.ExecuteStoreQuery<TElement> here.

And it seems like the second argument must be an array of parameters.

So this code :

ExecuteStoreQuery<ProgramAssetCodeWrapper>(sb.ToString(), new { paramChannel })

must be:

ExecuteStoreQuery<ProgramAssetCodeWrapper>(sb.ToString(), new OracleParameter[]{ paramChannel })

I disabled my intellisense...I did not notice that...Work like a charm.....Thank you.. :P – Olrac Nov 18 '13 at 05:10

To accommodate multiple parameters, you can do like this:

OracleParameter[] queryParams = new OracleParameter[6];
queryParams[0] = new OracleParameter("START_DATE", OracleDbType.Date, 2, strStartDate, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input);
queryParams[1] = new OracleParameter("END_DATE", OracleDbType.Date, 4, strEndDate, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input);
queryParams[2] = new OracleParameter("START_TIME", OracleDbType.TimeStampLTZ, 2, strStartTime, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input);
queryParams[3] = new OracleParameter("END_TIME", OracleDbType.TimeStampLTZ, 2, strEndTime, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input);
queryParams[4] = new OracleParameter("PROG_NAME", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 50, strProgName, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input);
queryParams[5] = new OracleParameter("CHANNEL_ID", OracleDbType.Int32, 50, strChannelID, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input);

Updated: with proposed proper datatype.

And run the query like this:

var result = ctx.Database.SqlQuery<Object>(qry, queryParams);

Aha..I see you use `DbContext` instead of `ObjectContext`..even in `ExecuteStoreQuery` you can write multiple parameters... :D — Olrac, Nov 18 '13 at 07:42
Yes @OLRAC, I even use that in ReportParameters though there is a [minor problem in `IN CLAUSE` but with workaround](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19446205/oracle-parameter-and-in-clause-in-ssrsrdl-reports/19449052#19449052). — Mark, Nov 18 '13 at 07:49

If someone wants to add parameters dynamically, here's what I did:

List<OracleParameter> params = new List<OracleParameter>();
params.Add(new OracleParameter("ID", 123));

string query = "SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE ID = :ID";
UserDto = context.ExecuteStoreQuery<UserDto>(query, params.ToArray()).First();

Notice that the List<OracleParameter> is converted to Array by doing params.ToArray(), so initially you don't have to know the amount of parameters for the Array.

Using OracleParameter in ExecuteStoreQuery Error Msg : " Value does not fall within the expected range."
