Colling PL / SQL Procedure via data loader batch processes

Hello together,

for a system ingeration (oracle DB 19.2) with salesforce (LEX)  i have a customer requirement to call a PL/ SQL Procdure via dataloader through a batch process.

I have been searching in google for hours but could not find anything about the right syntax in the batch. 
I also had a look in several dataloader documentations and also on help.salesforce.com and found nothing. 

I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
it's a long time ago, that I've connected an oracle database with salesforce dataloader. Not sure, if it will help you:

Hi Oliver,

Thanks but unfortunately my case relates to another direction: from Salesforce to Oracle database. In my case I have the requirement to call a PL/SQL Stored Procedure of the form: "exec storedProcedureName (Var1, Var2)". I have made many attempts, but unfortunately I get an error message: "Error creating PreparedStatement for the database configuration Exec_for_Create_Order_salesforce. Error replacing parameter: sfId with value: 8012p0000091nEhAAI of type: class java.lang.String. Sql error: Invalid column index."

</bean>

            </map>
        </property>

Any other ideas or hints why it doesn't work?

Thanks in advance

Looks not so bad. Your sdl looks like that:
Id=sfId

My sdl looks exactly like that: Id=sfId
OFröhlichOFröhlich

and stops after sfID, without a blank at the end?

Have you tried, when delete this section
<property name="columnNames">
<list>
<value>sfId</value>            
</list>
</property>

I checked SDL and tried delete this section. Unfortunately I get the same error message:  "Error replacing parameter: sfId with value: 8012p0000094eMaAAI of type: class java.lang.String.  Sql error: Ung³ltiger Spaltenindex."
My guess is that it is not possible to call a PL / SQL stored procedure via a batch process (Dataloader)
