Copying SQL Script from Oracle SQL Developer into Excel with formatting

I need to copy a SQL Script into Excel in order to develop some VBA code. Is there any nice way that I can copy SQL Script from Oracle SQL Developer into Excel and retain its formatting? I am a stickler for having legible, readable SQL and like to have all my columns lined up and aliases lined up. When we used to use SQL Navigator, the tab formatting seemed to copy and paste just fine. Now that we have migrated to Oracle SQL Developer, the formatting seems to get all messed up.
And suggestions are greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for an answer.
Thanks.

I suppose you want a real tabulator instead of spaces. You can configure this in the preferences (SQL Formatter - Oracle). You have to apply it then to your existing code (e.g. CTRL-F7), but new code should get it right from the start.
Hope that helps,

How to call SQL script from PL/SQL block

Hi All,
I have a pl/sql block from which i need to call a *.sql script file.
Please tell me that how can i do this?
Thanks and Regards.

> Though just for knowledge sake, would you please tell if there is a way
to call a sql script from a pl/sql block.
This question stems usually from a confusion about client-server and which is which in Oracle.
SQL*Plus is a client. PL/SQL is a server side language. SQL is a server side language.
When entering either one of these two languages in SQL*Plus (or TOAD, SQL-Developer, etc), the content is shipped to an Oracle server process, is parsed there, and is executed there.
The Oracle server process servicing the client can accept a single SQL statement or PL/SQL block at a time.
It cannot accept a block of SQL statements delimited with a semicolon. That is a client concept where the client will read each delimited statement and send that, one after the other (in synchronous call mode) to the Oracle server for execution.
The Oracle server does not have a "script parser". It understands SQL. It understands PL/SQL. And that is what it expects from the client.
Whether the client supports the SET command, the HOST command, SPOOL command, ability to run scripts, and so... have no bearing on what the server itself is capable of doing. The server does not care what feature set the client has. It is tasked with servicing the client via SQL and PL/SQL.
It is not tasked to support or emulate client features like running SQL scripts.
Nor confuse PL/SQL with the very limited command set of SQL*Plus. The two has nothing in common. And just as PL/SQL cannot understand C# or Delphi commands, it cannot understand SQL*Plus commands.

Calling a SQL script from the PL/SQL block.

Hello All,
I am using oracle 11g database.
My requirment is as follows. I have a SQL script to alter the table. But before alter the table I need to test some condition , if the condition satisfy then I have to alter the table through the SQL script. For the checking the condition I have to use the plsql block and inside I need to call the SQL script.
Can I call a SQL script from PL/SQL block, if yes then how?
I am tring to use START, RUN and @ command but it is throughing error.
Thanks
SUN

[PL/SQL manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/functions55a.htm#77600] Ctrl-F start, finds nothing. [SQLPlus manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm] Ctrl-F start finds this. Isn't it wonderful that Oracle documents this stuff so we don't have to guess.
Can I call a SQL script from PL/SQL block, if yes then how? No.
You could call the stored procedure in a SQL*Plus script before the alter table and have it raise an exception if the condition is not met and have the script quit when there is an error.

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer to Microsoft Word doesn't retain formatting (Font,colors etc)

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer Worksheet doesn't retain formatting (font,color etc...)in Microsoft Word but copying from other programs such as
visual studio, chrome browser etc works fine. This doesn't work even after changed the setting to Keep Source formatting of Options-> Copy and Paste Settings

Hi,
I notice that you have cross posted in Answers forum and Oracle forum. Have you tried Mr. Peter's suggestion?
Then, I recommend we check the Word settings:
1. Go to: Options > Advanced > Cut, Copy and Paste
2. Make sure that Use smart cut and paste is ticked.
3. Click the Settings button next to this option
4. Make sure that Smart Style
Behavior is checked.
If the issue still exists, please upload a sample through One Drive, I want to test.

Tx, sb92075
I see that you running it all from command line, right ?
It's still different on my SQL Developer session, I don't have anything on messages pane and again I don't see output i.e. View created.
Can anybody share opinions how to run this sp from Oracle SQL Developer? I expect to see newly created V2c View in my object list upon execution.

Favorites icon gone from Oracle SQL Developer Help screen

Favorites icon gone from Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 Help Center screen
How do I get it back?
In Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 I clicked
Help->Table of Contents
to bring ut the Help Center window.
It the Help Center window I used to have a Favorites tab next
to the Contents TAB on the left side of the window.
I did an unpin some how and now I can't get the Favorites
TAB back.
On the right side there is a Star + icon that does
Add to Favorites.
I can add links to favorites but I have no way to go to these
saved favorites anymore.
How do I get the Favorites TAB/Icon back?
Thanks

Hi John,
SQL Developer depends on JDeveloper code for the Help. After closing the Favorites tab I see no way to re-open it in the UI, so I imagine there may be a bug on the JDev side. Fortunately, there is a manual fix:
In file product-preferences.xml
In directory C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Application Data\SQL Developer\system3.0.04.34\o.sqldeveloper.11.1.2.4.34
use Notepad to look for the lines like:
<value n="helpDynamicLinksNavigatorLocation" v="3"/>
<value n="helpFavoritesNavigatorLocation" v="0"/>
Just change the value "0" to "2"Regards,
Gary

Getting windows error during running the sql scripts from form 6i

Some sql scripts run internally in order to populate the result on forms screen after pressing the forms button but I am getting windows error during running the sql scripts from form 6i.

PL/SQL migration from Oracle 7.3 to Oracle 8.1.6

Hi,
I am planning to upgrade from Oracle 7.3 to Oracle 8.1.6. As well from HP-UX 10.20 to HP-UX 11.0.
I do not want to run my PL/SQL code in compatibility mode.
Please suggest migration path.
Also, i want to migrate PL/SQL scripts from 8.0.5 to 8.1.6 on HP-UX 11.0. I know this should be
straight forward migration.
Does the recompilation on HP-UX 11.0 with 8.1.6 environment works fine..?!
I read about the 'utlrp.sql' script to be run to find out the report prior to recompilation on target
platform. If i do this, it should enough OR is there any other ways of doing things..?!
Please post your feedback.
Thanks,
vinod

Hi,
I have never done the migration from 7.3 to 9i. But I had done 8.0 to 8i and 8i to 9i.
Pl/SQL code should work fine as it is. I wonder what will happen if you have any variables declared VARCHAR (not VARCHAR2) ? There can be few places like that, if the application was originally written on Oracle 6.Otherwise, the code should work as it is.
Regarding Pro*C, you need to use the new make file which has come with 9i.
Also, I do not remember exactly, but probably, you need to initialize all VARCHAR veriables declared between BEGIN DECLARE SECTION and END DECLARE SECTION. Initialize all of them with \0 (NULL charactor).
I think that should be enough for 7.x application to run on 9i.

Execute sql script in oracle server

hi how can i run an SQL script in oracle server in every first day of the month? i dont want to run that script manually every first day of the month.

What OS and version are you running?
You can schedule this from the OS side as well if you don't want to use the scheduler.
In linux you can make use of the crontab:
crontab -e
#then paste the following lines with the path to your scripts
#.---------------- minute (0 - 59)
#|   .------------- hour (0 - 23)
#|   |   .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
#|   |   |   .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
#|   |   |   | .----- day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
#|   |   |   | |
#*   *   *   * * command to be executed
00 01 1 * * /<path to your scripts>/script_name.shThe above script will run on the 1st day of every month at 01h00.
your script (the one you are calling in the cron) will have to call the sql script and should look similar to this:
#export all your environment variables here
# for example
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/<your path>
export ORACLE_SID=ORCL
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
sqlplus user/password@DB @/path/your_sql_script.sqlHope this helps

Calling sql script from shell script

Hi,
I know this question has been asked many time in various forums, but I tried many combinations and not able to figure out what I'm missing.
Basically - I'm trying to call a sql script from a shell script.
This is my sql script (plsql.sql) -
DELCARE
v_empno NUMBER := '&empno';
BEGIN
select ename,sal from emp where empno = v_empno;
dbms_output.put_line('Inside the plsql file');
END;
This is my unix shell script - I'm caling the plsql.sql file with the parameter passed(97882). I don't get any output. at least I should be able to view the dbms output if not for the sql query inside the sql script.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
sqlplus -s sam/olo01 << HERE
@plsql.sql 97882;
HERE
What is it I am missing ?

Using your scripts (and having to create and populate a table myself, that would have what your select statement implies),
oracle:oklacity$ cat plsql.sql
DELCARE
v_empno NUMBER := '&empno';
BEGIN
select ename,sal from emp where empno = v_empno;
dbms_output.put_line('Inside the plsql file');
END;
oracle:oklacity$ cat doit.sh
#!/usr/bin/ksh
sqlplus -s sam/olo01 << HERE
@plsql.sql 97882;
HERE
oracle:oklacity$ ./doit.sh
SP2-0042: unknown command "DELCARE" - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "v_empno NU..." - rest of line ignored.
oracle:oklacity$
This is the kind of information you should have put in your opening post.
