Executing a DDL statement from java code

Hi all,
this is code from jdev11.1.1.3 version. I am trying to execute a DDL statement in oracle db from java code, but "ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement" error is coming.
I am trying to create a table in same schema in same db by using 'Copy' command.
Same DDL command is executing from sql command prompt & table is being created. Plz help me , as how to do from java?
        public String cmb_action() {
        // Add event code here...
        try {
            //getting source db connection
            InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
            DataSource ds = (DataSource) initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/SourceConnDS");
            Connection sourceconn = ds.getConnection();
            sourceconn.setAutoCommit(false);
            String sql = "Copy from myschema/mypass@DB insert t_dept using select * from dept;"
            Statement stat = sourceconn.createStatement();
            stat.executeUpdate(sql);
            sourceconn.commit();
            System.out.println("done");
          catch (Exception ne) {
            // TODO: Add catch code
            ne.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }

I have a requirement to transfer data from one db to another db from Java Application Layer.Maybe, maye not. We get all sorts of weird "requirements" - which are nothing but thoughts or proposed solutions.
But,
Did the "requirement" mention whether the table existed already or not in the target database? - If not, did it tell you to create it - drop/create it?
Did the "requirement" deliver some explanation to why this copying was neeeded? - Are we talking replication? - Or a one time cloning?
Etc, etc,
Personally I would always argue against a "reuirement" like that. - It just isn't the way to do it. Period.

Peter
P.S: If you are satisfied with what COPY does, then you could let Java make an OS call and do it from there?

How to isolate the Sql Statement from Java Code

Hi
I Need to know that can we segregate the Sql Statements and convert them to Stored Procedures so as to isolate the Sql statements from Java Code.
So i have one static web page which uses four select Statements so what i want is to create a stored procedure encapsulating these queries. So that the Java Web Developer will simply call the Stored Procedure instead of using four different SQL Statements.
Suppose the developer has these four Statements
Select ename,empno,sal,job from emp;
select empno,ename,mgr from emp;
select deptno,dname from dept;
select emp.ename,emp.empno,emp.deptno,dept,dname fromemp,dept;
So can i encapsulate these four Sql Statements in one Procedure and the Web developer can call the Store procedure and dont need to write the Sql Statements in his code.
Can Anybody guide me how to write this Stored type of Store procedure.
Thanks

How to do that?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am using JDBC to executed queries...but i need to run sqlplus command to run script if some condition is satisfied and same for sqllodder to load large record like 500000. This code is in the thread and is working fine for same machine. Need to execute it on another machine where oracle is installed.
From command prompt i am able to run sqlplus on Oracle server. Same command I am not able to run from the code. I have shared bin direcotry of Oracle from server.

Executing a .bat file from java code

Im writing a utility and i need to be able to create and execute a .bat file from my program. I can create the .bat file fine but when i try to execute it nothing happens. I tried to use the following line of code to try to execute the .bat file (called make.bat) :
try
String parameterString = "\"C:\\WINNT\\System32\\cmd.exe\" C:\\ITS_Test\\make.bat";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(parameterString);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println(e);
The Runtime.getRuntime()exec() method worked fine when trying to execute an excel file but for some reason it dosen't want to work for the DOS prompt. Any ideas?

Thanks everyone for all the replies.
I have tried all the above with no luck. Im using netbeans, does anyone think that it could be a problem with the IDE.
I tired the following code :
String parameterString = "cmd.exe /C \"C:\\ITS_Test\\make.bat\"";
Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(parameterString);
pr.waitFor();
This code does not throw any exceptions but just hangs. I also tried:
String [] parameterString = {"cmd", "/c", "C:\\ITS_Test\\make.bat"};
Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(parameterString);
pr.waitFor();
and:
String parameterString = "\"C:\\WINNT\\System32\\cmd.exe\" \"C:\\ITS_Test\\make.bat\"";
Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(parameterString);
pr.waitFor();
with the same result. Does anyone know why it just hangs and nothing happens (no exceptions thrown)?

Executing system commands like cd on Linux from Java Code

Hi,
I need to execute a few system commands (like cd, ls, tar, etc.,) on RedHat Linux 7.1 from Java code. Any ideas plz.
best wishes,
Issac

Since this thread mentioned using the DOS START command
from an exec(), I was wondering whether anyone else is
seeing the odd behavior I am.
Most of the examples showing how to read stdout and stderr
while the process is running show simple loops that use
getInputStream and getErrorStream and do read's until they
get back -1. Most of these examples are insensitive to the
state of the Process.waitFor that happens elsewhere and sort
of rely on the -1 and the waitFor happening roughly together.
Whenever I use this technique to launch an arbitrary DOS
command (e.g. Runtime.exec("dir")), it works fine, and
everything seems to terminate as expected.
However, when my command is something like:
Runtime.exec("cmd /c start my.bat")
where I deliberately use the START command to fork off
a different process, something odd happens.
Those simple read loops get an initial burst of stdout/stderr
bytes from the "start" part of the command. But then eventually,
these loops do a "read" which blocks on those InputStreams. Now,
even if my Process.waitFor returns (because the start returned
immediately), those read loops stay blocked **until that script
started by 'start' runs to completion**. It is like the child
of the child is holding those streams open somehow.
I found that by doing something like an InputStream.available() or
a BufferedReader.ready( ) check before dropping into the read,
and allowing the Process.waitFor completion to exit those read loops,
them I get what I expect -- namely immediate return from the START,
but apparently complete copies of stdout and stderr.
Curiously, in the case where the reads block until the child process
started by START terminates, they still don't get the child's/child's
stdout and stderr. It is just a long duration thread block that
yields no data.
Can anyone explain what is happening to a
Process.getInputStream( ).read()
when the process immediately does a START and returns? Why would
the read( ) stay blocked when the START finished launching a new child
process?

Executing jar from java code, then kill parent java code

Please suggest if there is any best way around on executing jar from java code then killing parent java code.
a) I have desktop based java application say "Monitor.java" which runs every 5 minutes.
b) How can I START external java application say "execute.jar" from Monitor.java THEN EXIT Monitor.java
I tried various options using "ProcessBuilder" and calling bat file but I need Monitor (parent application to EXIT, immediately after calling child (execute.jar)
Try1) ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("java -jar execute.jar");
Process process = builder.start();
Try2) Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = null;
p = r.exec(new String[] { "cmd", "/c", "start C:/temp/Test.bat" });

Execute DDL statements from pl / sql

Hi !!!!
I have to create every object (tables, sequences, etc) using a pl / sql block, so I need first looking for the object in the data dictionary and if it doesn't exist execute a ddl statement to create it.
I wanted to execute at the same "execute immediate " :
- create table.
- create synonym for the table created before.
- comments on table
- comments on table's columns
- grants on the table.
But I found some errors:
- I can`t have semicolon after every statement so I get an "ORA-00911: invalid character". I did'nt try to scape the semicolon so I need it.
- I split the execute immediate so now I have one execute immediate for every statement but I got an error in this statement:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'COMMENT ON TABLE SYSADM.CVP_PAQ_SMS_REC_PRUEBA IS "COMMENT ON TABLE" '; The error I get is this:
ORA-01780: string literal required
Any suggestions about this ?
Thanks.

The comment itself needs to be a SQL string so it needs to be delimited with single quotes not double quotes. You can either use two single quotes
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'COMMENT ON TABLE SYSADM.CVP_PAQ_SMS_REC_PRUEBA IS ''COMMENT ON TABLE'' ';or you can use the q quoting syntax
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE q'[COMMENT ON TABLE SYSADM.CVP_PAQ_SMS_REC_PRUEBA IS 'COMMENT ON TABLE' ]';You cannot combine multiple DDL statements into a single block (well, you could use dynamic PL/SQL, but then your string would have a bunch of embedded EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statements which would presumably not buy you much).

How to execute a SELECT statement in java??

Hello !!
In my java program , i need to delete a record of number X, so
i accept the number X from the keyboard
Then before deleting it
i want the program to show me the name, age of the record which has the number X
How to do this

hello kylas
actually i didnt get why this program example?? wats
its executing ??? Look at reply #3 in your other thread:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=713289&messageID=4126346
Notice the similarity? You've now asked "How to delete a record in Java" and "how to execute a select statement in java". You may have noticed that, aside from the SQL and the call to execute and executeUpdate (for delete) it's the same code. This is because you don't so much do these things in Java, you do them in SQL. The Java code simply asks the Driver to execute whatever SQL you write. So, I really hope your next post isn't "how do I execute an UPDATE statement in Java".
Good Luck

Executing multiple DDL statements with OracleCommand

hi..
im having trouble executing multiple ddl statements with the the oracle command object. i have tried to enclose them within Begin.. End; block but with no use.
this problem seems to occur only with DDL statements,.. as my DML like update, delete and Inserts seem to work fine when enclosed within the PL /SQL block.
single DDL statements also seem to work fine. so im guessing this has nothing to do with priviledges. any ideas?
my code as follows
OracleCommand command = new OracleCommand();
command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
command.CommandText = string.Format(@"{0}",script);
conn.Open();
command.Connection = conn;
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
the script is read from a file, and looks like this. (note : i have removed any line breaks or any other characters)
BEGIN ALTER TABLE SYSTEMUSER DISABLE CONSTRAINT FK_USER_CLIENT; ALTER TRIGGER SET_SUBSCRIPTION_SUB_I DISABLE; END;
this is the error i get.
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "ALTER" when expecting one of the following:
begin case declare exit for goto if loop mod null pragma
raise return select update while with <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> <<
close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback
savepoint set sql execute commit forall merge pipe.

If I'm not mistaken, we're not allowed to issue DDL inside anonymoue block (or stored procedure) since DDL has implicit commit in it. But you still can execute DDL using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE or using DBMS_SQL package. Try changing your CommandText like this,
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE SYSTEMUSER DISABLE CONSTRAINT FK_USER_CLIENT';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TRIGGER SET_SUBSCRIPTION_SUB_I DISABLE';
END;Hope this helps,

Starting exetutable java file from java code

Hi I was wondering how I can start a executable java file from java code?
thanks

Hi Mkaveli,
Yes, it's possible. If you have a JAR executable, you've just to call the main method of its starter class. For a simple executable class, just call its main method.
This way :
SomeStarter.main(null); // if there's no argumentSmall precision : the executable JAR or class must be specified in the classpath of your application.

Problem when connecting locally to Oracle Database 10g from Java code

Good afternoon,
I try to connect to my local Oracle 10g from JAVA code. Could somebody tells me what are the 'values' to enter in place of 'value1, value2, value3' in the following:
final String connectionURLThin = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@value1:value2:value3";
I tried to put my 'user' and 'pw' credentials I used when connecting with SQL*PLUS:
value1=my_user_name
value2=my_pw
value3=my_schema
but it doest work. Besides where could have I to put the 'WORKSPACE" name?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, the network connection could not be established. Like the error said.
What you're asking about is the exact reason, but that could be any number of things and not at all related to code. You could have the wrong host, the wrong port. A firewall could be blocking the outgoing connection, a firewall could be blocking the incoming connection. Etc. etc.

How to know which user has executed which ddl statement

Hi All,
Last week i faced some problem, like some one has truncated the table , so luckily i have the schema backup so i restored it till the last backup taken.
but i want to know who has executed this ddl statement.
i know there are some utilities are avaible with oracle, so please describe me the easiest and quickest way to get this.
Regards
Asif

In order of descending simplicity
- Use the principle of least privilege to restrict the privileges users have in the database to ensure that they cannot do things like truncating a table
- Enable auditing of potentially problematic statements. This has to be done before the damage is done, though
- Create a DDL trigger that logs when users issue DDL. This also must be done before the damage is done.
- Use LogMiner to go through the archived log files that were generated at the time the table was truncated. This assumes that the database is in ARCHIVELOG mode and that you have the archived logs from last week. Using LogMiner to track down the culprit is also likely to be relatively time-intensive

Can u access Oracle9i Reports objects from Java Code?

Hi,
How can you access Oracle9i Reports (Rel 2) objects like Body, DataSource, Groups etc from Java Code?
What are the available APIs?
I went thru the APIs at http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/Javadocs/oracle/reports/plugin/definition/package-summary.html
However various constructors stated in these APIs are using classes from "oracle.reports.definition" package which are difficult for me to locate.
For eg. Report constructor is using oracle.reports.definition.RWReport and there is no API documentation available for RWReport class.
Please suggest me the site for the above APIs or the method to get a reference to "Report" instance.
Thanks
Rakesh.

Thanks Tugdual for your quick reply.
Thats exactly what I am trying to do. I want to develop a utility which can have a subset of Report Developer's functionality.
Currently using Reports Developer & Report Wizard, I can create a report by providing SQL statement and few parameters (like Report Style, Calculated Fields, Template file etc). I want to put all these parameters in a XML file and run my java utility (based on the APIs which I am looking for) which will use these XML parameter file and generate a '.rdf' file.
Also, could you please suggest me the site for oracle.reports.definition package API or the way to get a reference to oracle.reports.plugin.definition.Report instance.
Thanks,
Rakesh
