Fellow Monks,

I have a webpage that access a Oracle database, retrieves information and displays it. The sql is stored in the Perl scripts and executed and it all works really nicely.

However I want the Sql to be removed form the Perl, and use PL/SQL stored procedures instead. I've written the PL/SQL procedure and it compiles fine and works nicely.

I then took out the code for executing the sql script and replaced with code to execute a PL/SQL procedure.

I recieve the following error
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement (DBD ERROR: OCIStmtExecute)

The code looks like this in the main Perlscript.($login_id is defined higher up.) 
my $sth = $dbh_conn->run_query('check_user', 'exec Mrf_Maint.check_use
+r ?', $login_id);

run_query is another sub routine in a Perl module and looks like this. 
sub run_query {

   my $self = shift;
   my $name = shift;
   my $query = shift;   
   
   my $sth = $self->{'_conn'}->prepare($query) || print $DBI::errstr; 
+  
   $sth->execute(@_) || print $DBI::errstr;

   return $sth;

}

Please note I want this sub routine to be used from several webpages/applications so I don't know how many params will be coming in for each call, therefore I pass in @_ to the execute which then binds the params automamtically for me.

Why does the code work for a SQL script embedded into the Perl but not work for a stored procedure call. I've also granted all the the PL/SQL stored procedure.

Any pointers really will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
