DBMS_MLE

The DBMS_MLE package allows users to execute JavaScript code inside the Oracle AI Database and exchange data seamlessly between PL/SQL and JavaScript. The JavaScript code itself can execute PL/SQL and SQL through built-in JavaScript modules. JavaScript data types are automatically mapped to Oracle AI Database data types and vice versa.

With the DBMS_MLE package, developers can write their data processing logic in JavaScript.

This chapter contains the following topics:

DBMS_MLE Overview

Runtime state for MLE execution is encapsulated in execution contexts that users can explicitly create and destroy. Users can also export values from PL/SQL to MLE, and import values from MLE back into PL/SQL.

The following example captures the typical workflow for MLE execution:

set serveroutput on;
declare
  ctx dbms_mle.context_handle_t;
  source clob;
  greeting varchar2(100);
begin
  ctx := dbms_mle.create_context(); -- Create execution context for MLE execution
  dbms_mle.export_to_mle(ctx, 'person', 'World'); -- Export value from PL/SQL
  source := q'~
    var bindings = require("mle-js-bindings");
    var person = bindings.importValue("person"); // Import value previously exported from PL/SQL
    var greeting = "Hello, " + person + "!";
    bindings.exportValue("greeting", greeting); // Export value to PL/SQL
  ~';
  dbms_mle.eval(ctx, 'JAVASCRIPT', source); -- Evaluate the source code snippet in the execution context
  dbms_mle.import_from_mle(ctx, 'greeting', greeting); -- Import value previously exported from MLE
  dbms_output.put_line('Greetings from MLE: ' || greeting);
  dbms_mle.drop_context(ctx); -- Drop the execution context once no longer required
end;
/

Executing the preceding code block produces the following output:

Greetings from MLE: Hello, World!

DBMS_MLE Security Model

Access to MLE features is protected by database privileges. The user must have the EXECUTE DYNAMIC MLE privilege while calling any of its functions and procedures that pertain to MLE execution. In addition to this, the user must also have the EXECUTE ON JAVASCRIPT privilege to execute JavaScript code. An ORA-01031 error is raised if the user calling any of the DBMS_MLE subprograms does not have the appropriate privileges. See the summary of DBMS_MLE subprograms for the privileges required to call each DBMS_MLE subprogram.

Summary of DBMS_MLE Subprograms

This table lists the DBMS_MLE subprograms and briefly describes them.

CREATE_CONTEXT Function

Creates an MLE context for executing snippets in JavaScript. You need the EXECUTE DYNAMIC MLE privilege to execute this function.

Syntax

DBMS_MLE.CREATE_CONTEXT
   RETURN CONTEXT_HANDLE_T;

DBMS_MLE.CREATE_CONTEXT(
   environment      IN      VARCHAR2)
RETURN CONTEXT_HANDLE_T;

Parameters

CREATE_CONTEXT Function Parameters

Parameter Description
environment The case-sensitive schema name of the MLE environment that configures the context. Optional.

Return Values

This function returns a handle that uniquely identifies a context within a session for use in subsequent operations, such as EXPORT_TO_MLE and EVAL.

Usage Notes

A context has a lifetime limited to the session in which it was created. When a client session is terminated, all its contexts are dropped. All MLE contexts created in a session are also dropped when the session state is reset, for example, by calling DBMS_SESSION.RESET_PACKAGE. JavaScript code is evaluated in the context using the user, roles, and schema that are in effect at the time of context creation.

The function may raise the following errors:
