Run a PL/SQL statement in an Oracle Alert action?

Hello
did anyone know is it possible to run a PL/SQL statement in an Oracle Alert action?
I can run an SQL like “UPDATE Table SET alert_run = 'ok' where id = 10;” but if I run instead of this the following
“Select XXKN_TEST.UPDATE_XXX_TEST('&USER_NAME') From dual;”
I get the following error log:
Alert: Version : 11.5.0
Copyright (c) 1979, 1999, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
ALECDC module: Check Periodic Alert
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
XXKN_TEST.UPDATE_XXX_TEST('GROSS2')
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00904: "XXKN_TEST"."UPDATE_XXX_TEST": invalid identifier
APP-ALR-04020: Oracle Alert was unable to execute "&VALUE". Check that this file exists and that its read protection is set correctly.
Many thanks for your help,
Alois

Hello Suresh,
I tried your suggestion but it doesn't work.
The PL/SQL procedure was successfully completed but no data was modified.
Are you sure that running a PL/SQL is possible in an alert action?
Kind Regards,
Alois

How to run a single sql statement

I want to run a simple sql statement to get some data in my Controller or AM.
Is there some way, other than creating a VO with the SQL statement, to get some data from the database. My sql query will always return a single row.

Hi,
here you have an example I use to call a function in a package (note how you can pass parameters and read results):
Connection conn = this.getOADBTransaction().getJdbcConnection();
OracleCallableStatement ocs = null;
String param = null;
try {
        String stmt = "BEGIN :1 := <PkgName>.<FunctionName>(:2); end;";
        ocs = (OracleCallableStatement)conn.prepareCall(stmt);
        ocs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CHAR);
        ocs.setString(2, <param>);
        ocs.execute();
        param = ocs.getString(1);
     } catch(SQLException se) {
         throw OAException.wrapperException(se);
     finally {
         try {
                ocs.close();
                return(param);
         } catch(Exception e) {
                throw OAException.wrapperException(e);
     }Hope this helps you

How to tune the following sql statements which has two unions in oracle 10g

It takes a long time to run the following sql statement in 10g. Each select brings back about 4 million rows and there will be about 12 million rows. When I run each select statements seprately in sqlplus I can see the data immedaitely but when I run it as whole with two unions in the select it just takes very very long time? I want to know how to make this run faster? Can we add hints? or is it because of any table space? Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
What i observed is that your table name and where clause is same in all the thress SELECTs whereas columns having some manipulations that is not going to be unique. I guess you can easily replace UNION with UNION ALL.
from PS_EARNINGS_BAL D
where D.SPCL_BALANCE = 'N'Note: I am not aware of your data and business requirement. Please test the result before removing. It is just a suggetion

SQL Statement cause delay on exceptional days to run

Hi ,
We are running the same sql statement on daily basis.
5 days a week, it gets completed in 10 mins and once or, twice in a week , it takes 7 – 10 Hrs to execute.
what are the tuning methods and steps we can apply to know the real culprits.

Asif

Before you dive into reading books and other stuff, you can simply look at the execution plan of your Statement on SQL*PLUS.
It's very easy, just do the following with your SQL Statement on both cases when it takes 10 minutes and hours and compare the results.

Using bind variables with sql statements

We connect from a VB 6.0 program via OO4O to an Oracle 8.1.7 database, using bind variables in connection with select statements. Running ok, but performance again by using bind vars not as good as expected!
When looking into the table v$sqlarea, we were able to detect the reason. We expected that our program submits the sql statement with bind vars, Oracle parses this once, and with each select statement again, we do not have a reparse. But: It seems that with each new session Oracle reparses the sql statement, that is, Oracle is not able to memorize or cache bind vars and statements. Even more worrying, this kind of behaviour was visible with each new dynaset, but the same database/session.
Is there anybody our there with an idea of what is happening here?
Code snippet:
Dim OraSession As OracleInProcServer.OraSessionClass
Dim OraDatabase As OracleInProcServer.OraDatabase
Set OraSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
Set OraDatabase = OraSession.OpenDatabase(my database", "my connect", 0&)
OraDatabase.Parameters.Add "my_bind", 0, ORAPARM_INPUT
OraDatabase.Parameters("my_bind").DynasetOption = ORADYN_NOCACHE
OraDatabase.Parameters("my_bind").serverType = ORATYPE_NUMBER ' Bind Var Type
Dim RS As OracleInProcServer.OraDynaset
strSQLstatement= "Select * from my_table where igz= [my_bind] "
Set RS = OraDatabase.CreateDynaset(strSQLstatement, &H4)
OraDatabase.Parameters("my_bind").Value = myValue
RS.Refresh
Cheers and thanks a lot :)

Execute non-sql statement

Does anyone know how to execute a non-sql statement(eg an oracle command).
eg stmt.execute("set define off"); // this doesnt work
Any help will be appreciated

is there any way to overcome this ?Yes, as already pointed out, you use SQL*Plus rather than JDBC. You can use Runtime.exec() and use input and output files (or streams) and drive SQL*Plus anyway that you want.
At the very least that solution is going to be more complicated and it means that the oracle client must be installed on any box that runs your solution.
You would probably be better off looking for a different way to solve your problem using PL/SQL. It probably exists.

Sort order of german characters in SQL statements

I've a problem concerning the sort order of the german characters 'd'. 'v'. '|' in SQL statements.
Environment : Oracle Server 7.3.4
SINIX 5.43
The statement comes from an Windows application over OCI to the database.
The result of setting the NLS_SORT param to 'German' is that these characters are treated the same as 'a', 'e' and 'u', and not like 'ae', 'oe' and 'ue', as it is expected.
e.g. ascending sort order :
Bube, Bulut, B|schgens, Butza
but expected is: (| = ue)
Bube, B|schgens, Bulut, Butza
Any idea ?
Thanks for any help in advance.

If two single quotes don't work, try backslash single quote, like \'
The backslash is often used as an escape character, meaning to treat the next character literally.

SQL statement doesn't return data

Hi,
Please I am facing a problem where I took the sql statement from an oracle report and I'm applying it on TOAD 9.0 but it is not returning any data. The thing is that on the application the report returns data but as I checked on the TOAD it showed that some tables have no data.
How is this possible??
Do I need to apply some code before I apply my select statement??
Hope you can help here,
Thanks in Advance,
Ashraf

Hi Ashraf,
As it should be if a Query in Report is returning data so should the same query return data if used either in Toad or SQL Plus.
In your report do check if you have any parameters and do this parameters have any default values and are you using the same parameters.
Also do check the source of the Report which the application is executing and the one from where you are using the Query is same.
Best Regards

Problems storing sql statement in database

Hi,
I'm writing an application which needs to select a sql statement from an oracle database. The statement should look something like this:
"select id,name,... .from table 1 where id = " + ID + " and name = " + NAME
however when I select this from the database it give a sql error - invalid sql statement, I've tried putting it in the database without quotes, with single quotes etc but I can't seem to get it working.
I'd much appreciate it if any one had any ideas on this.
thanks.

debug it: output the sql string to a println or
JTextArea. See what is in it (and test it) . Must be a
null value in the variables.The variables are set previously in the code
I outputted the sql string to the screen but the variable names are not being replaced by the values.

Expensive SQL statements in EWA

Hi experts,
how can I add expensive SQL statements to Early watch alert reports? In my IDES system this is generated automatically but not for different other systems. Can this be activated by specific settings?
Thanks and best regards, Basti

Hi bd,
Please check these points:
What database are you using?
What is the version of the ST-SER in your solution manager?
Is the service preparation finished in the managed system(run se38 -> RTCCTOOL to check)?
Have you checked note 1564508?
Besides that, do you see any issue in the SDCCN collection logs for the EWA?
Regards,
Daniel.

Sql statement from UI

Hi,
I am new to EBS and it's ui.
I would need to fire sql statements on the database.
Is there a interface in EBS from which i can fire sql statements ?
thanks,
ravi.

Hi,
I would need to fire sql statements on the database. Use database triggers -- See this thread for a similar discussion.
Can I write custom databse Trigger over a apps table.
Can I write custom databse Trigger over a apps table.
You could also use Oracle Alert -- You can find the user guide at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/applications.html
Is there a interface in EBS from which i can fire sql statements ?All Oracle APIs can be used at [Oracle Integration Repository |http://irep.oracle.com/] website, I am not aware of any API which can be used to fire any SQL statements (I believe such an API does not exists), but you could browse the categories and see if any helps.

Tracing SQL statements

I have an application that sends SQL statements to an oracle engine using odbc. Is there a way to trace the SQL statements from the unix server that the oracle engine resides on? I do not want to use the trace function in the ODBC data source administrator.
Thanks,
-Al

Idebtified your connect and then set trace for session using
exec dbms_system.SET_EV(SID,SERIAL#,10046,12,'');
10046 is event name and 12 is level.
SID and serial# you will get from v$session

SQL statement processed by the optimizer

Hello Experts ;
Any SQL statement processed by Oracle, the optimizer performs the following operations:
Evaluation of expressions and conditions
Inspection of integrity constraints to learn more about the data and optimize based on this metadata
Statement transformation
Choice of optimizer goals
Choice of access paths
Choice of join orders
The Query Optimizer - i got some information from here .
Can i get some more explanations or links for above points ?

Hi,
did you have a look at the 11g version?
