URIFactory Package

Description

Oracle also provides the URIFactory package, which can create and return instances of the various subtypes of the URITypes. The package analyzes the URL string, identifies the type of URL (HTTP, DBURI, and so on), and creates an instance of the subtype. (Oracle SQL Language Reference URIFactory Package)

URIFactory contains the following subprograms:

• GETURI

• ESCAPEURI

• UNESCAPURI

• REGISTERURLHANDLER

• UNREGISTERURLHANDLER

GETURI

Oracle

ESCAPEURI

Oracle

Query

REGISTERURLHANDLER

Oracle

Query

IN -> Oracle_04.sql

CREATE TABLE url_table (urlcol varchar2(80));
INSERT INTO url_table VALUES ('http://www.google.com/');

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SCURIType UNDER SYS.URIType (

CALL URIFACTORY.REGISTERURLHANDLER('sc://','HR','SCURITYPE');

INSERT INTO url_table VALUES ('SC://company1/company2=22/comp');

Snowflake

Snowflake

Query

OUT -> Oracle_05.sql

CALL URIFACTORY.UNREGISTERURLHANDLER('sc://');

Known Issues

1. Subprograms of URIFactory Package are not recognized

SnowConvert does not transform subprograms of built-in packages. The must of the functionality of URI types is not currently supported by Snowflake.

2. Missing EWIs for URIFactory Package

The output code should display an EWI indicating that some functionality is not supported by Snowflake. There is a work item to fix this issue.

2. SSC-EWI-OR0076: Built In Package Not Supported.
