Trigger Unix Program from a stored procedure

Is it possible to start a Unix program as a background OS process from a stored procedure?
In fact I want to call a stored procedure which starts a Unix process. After the termination of this process get the results of the programm (a text file) using UTL_FILE package from the stored procedure and produce an HTML document based on the output of the started process using the htp package.
Thanks, JV

Whats the best way to start a host (Unix) program from a stored procedure or trigger without having to wait for a response from the program (i.e start it and forget it )The BEST way depends on your operating system and version of the Oracle database. If you are at Oracle 10g or higher, I would certainly suggest using dbms_scheduler. In 10gR2 you can set a program to execute on receipt of an event, and the trigger or stored procedure can be the cause of the event.

Thanks..

Hi,
U can use external procedure ( newly added feature in 8.0.3 onwards) and call any shared library. From shared library u can execute it.
One sql command is there HOST(' '). U can run a OS command. But u can not use it in PL/SQL.
U can call pls sql from shell !!!!!..

How to connect to UNIX OS from oracle stored procedure

Hi,
I need to connect to UNIX OS from oracle stored procedure.

Calling Java programs from Oracle Stored Procedure

Is it possible to call Java programs from Oracle stored procs? If possible Can this be used to exchange data from other applications? Is there a better method/feature in oracle for doing data exchange with other apps?

If what you mean by Oracle stored procedures is pl/sql then yes.
You can create a "wrapper" this way:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xmlXform
in_mapUrl IN VARCHAR2,
in_inputUrl IN VARCHAR2
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME
'com.yourcompany.xml2any.xform(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
RETURN java.lang.String';
Then load the java as:
loadjava -user youruser/youruserpasswd -resolve -verbose lib/xmlparserv2.jar classes/com/yourcompany/xform.class classes/com/yourcompany/xml2any.class
The java, given the correct permissions, can do anything java can do including communicate with outside applications.
Is this the "best" way... depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

Invoking a UNIX shell command from Java stored procedure

The program below is suppose do send an email using UNIX mailx program. It works correctly when I compile it in UNIX and invoke it from the command line by sending an email to the given address.
I need this program to run as a stored procedure, however. I deploy it as such and try to invoke it. It prints the results correctly to the standard output. It does not send any emails, however. One other difference in execution is that when invoked from the command line, the program takes about a minute to return. When invoked as a stored procedure in PL/SQL program or SQL*Plus anonymous block, it returns immediately.
Why would mailx invocation not work from a stored procedure? Are there other ways to invoke mailx from PL/SQL?
Thank you.
Michael
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
public class MailUtility
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println(mailx("Hey, there", "Hello", "oracle@solaris10ora", 1));
* Sends a message using UNIX mailx command.
* @param message message contents
* @param subject message subject
* @param addressee message addressee
* @param display if greater than 0, display the command
* @return OS process return code
public static int mailx(String message, String subject,
String addressee, int display)
System.out.println("In mailx()");
try
String command =
"echo \"" + message + "\" | mailx -r [email protected]" + " -s \"" + subject + "\" " + addressee;
if (display > 0)
System.out.println(command);
try
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/bin/bash");
BufferedWriter outCommand =
new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(process.getOutputStream()));
outCommand.write(command, 0, command.length());
outCommand.newLine();
outCommand.write("exit", 0, 4);
outCommand.newLine();
outCommand.flush();
process.waitFor();
outCommand.close();
return process.exitValue();
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return -1;
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
return -1;

try adding the full explicit path to "mailx" in the command string that gets sent to Runtime. i would guess that the shell that gets spawned might not have a proper environment and thus mailx might not be found.

Get variable values from a stored procedure

I am using SQL 2008R2 and I want to replace a view inside a stored procedure with a new stored procedure to return multiple variable values. Currently I am using the code below to get values for 4 different variables. I would rather get the 4 variables
from a stored procedure (which returns all of these 4 values and more) but not sure how to do so. Below is the code for getting the 4 variable values in my current sp.
DECLARE @TotalCarb real;
DECLARE @TotalPro real;
DECLARE @TotalFat real;
DECLARE @TotalLiquid real;
SELECT @TotalCarb = ISNULL(TotCarb,0),
@TotalPro = ISNULL(TotPro,0),
@TotalFat = ISNULL(TotFat,0),
@TotalLiquid = ISNULL(TotLiq,0)
FROM dbo.vw_ActualFoodTotals
WHERE (MealID = @MealID);

You can replace the view with inline table valued user-defined function:

See example: SQL create INLINE table-valued function like a parametrized view

Retruring Multiple rows from a Stored Procedure

The Oracle JDBC documentation shows how to return a cursor pointer through the parameter list of a stored procedure allowing a Java program to use the cursor like a normal result set. I've tried it (using the thin driver) and it works fine - however, I'm having trouble getting this to work running the program under a Weblogic server (using their own JDBC implementation). So, I have two questions:
1) Has anyone had this problem before and solved it ??
2) Are there any other techniques for getting multiple rows back from the database without having to fire "raw" sql at it ?

Hi
You could return not resultset but array, for example:
PACKAGE TEST:
type string_table is table of varchar2(80)
index by binary_integer;
function get_something (
something1 out string_table,
arraylength in number
) return number;
PACKAGE'S BODY:
function get_something (
something1 out string_table,
arraylength in number /** length of the array **/
) return number as
cursor C is
select something1, ...
from test_table;
pos number := 1;
begin
for position in C loop
exit when (pos > arraylength);
something1(pos) := position.something1;
pos := pos + 1;
end loop;
return (pos - 1);
end;
Of course in this example you need to know length of your array
(arraylength parameter), but you can avoid such problem, for
example, by using DBMS_SQL package (or dynamic SQL feature in
the Oracle8i).

there's an API available to do this.The feature is called "event driven publishing" (because you can use this even from a trigger) and you can find the documentation here:

Executing batch file from Java stored procedure hang

Dears,
I'm using the following code to execute batch file from Java Stored procedure, which is working fine from Java IDE JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
public static String runFile(String drive)
String result = "";
String content = "echo off\n" + "vol " + drive + ": | find /i \"Serial Number is\"";
try {
File directory = new File(drive + ":");
File file = File.createTempFile("bb1", ".bat", directory);
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
fw.write(content);
fw.close();
// The next line is the command causing the problem
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
input.close();
file.delete();
result = result.substring( result.lastIndexOf( ' ' )).trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
result = e.getClass().getName() + " : " + e.getMessage();
return result;
The above code is used in getting the volume of a drive on windows, something like "80EC-C230"
I gave the SYSTEM schema the required privilege to execute the code.
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV TO SYSTEM;
I have used the following to load the class in Oracle 9ir2 DB:
loadjava -u [system/******@orcl|mailto:system/******@orcl] -v -resolve C:\Server\src\net\dev\Util.java
CREATE FUNCTION A1(drive IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'net.dev.Util.a1(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
The problem that it hangs when I execute the call to the function (I have indicated the line causing the problem in a comment in the code).
I have seen similar problems on other forums, but no solution posted
[http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-jdeveloper-l/run-an-exe-file-using-oracle-database-trigger-1567662]
I have posted this in JDeveloper forum ([t-853821]) but suggested to post for forum in DB.
Can anyne help?

Dear Peter,
You are totally right, I got this as mistake copy paste. I'm just having a Java utility for running external files outside Oracle DB, this is the method runFile()
I'm passing it the content of script and names of file to be created on the fly and executed then deleted, sorry for the mistake in creating caller function.
The main point, how I claim that the line in code where creating external process is the problem. I have tried the code with commenting this line and it was working ok, I made this to make sure of the permission required that I need to give to the schema passing security permission problems.
The function script is running perfect if I'm executing vbs script outside Oracle using something like "cscript //NoLogo aaa1.vbs", but when I use the command line the call just never returns to me "cmd.exe /c bb1.bat".
where content of bb1.bat as follows:
echo off
vol C: | find /i "Serial Number is"
The above batch file just get the serial number of hard drive assigned when windows formatted HD.
Same code runs outside Oracle just fine, but inside Oracle doesn't return if I exectued the following:
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
Never returns
Thanks for tracing teh issue to that details ;) hope you coul help.

How to fetch oracle process id from a stored procedure.

Hi,
I want to fetch the oracle process id from within a stored procedure.
I know that the one way to do this is using the v$process view. But, a grant has to be given to the user on this table. Due to the strict policies at my workplace, I do not have the permission to do this, nor can i ask anyone to give the grant. But, i need the oracle pid very much.
Is there an alternate way to get the oracle process id from within the stored procedure (without using the v$process view, like we have sys_context() to fetch session id without using v$session) ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
AP

Hi,
The point is i do not want to use v$process ( or v_$process) ,because i can not give the select grant to the user on this view. ( As i need to fetch it from a stored procedure, not from the SQL prompt).
Rahul , your query is correct. It fetches the values ( though i needed oracle process id not unix pid ; i would get it through p.pid), but i need an alternate approach to this.
Is there an alternate approach which would enable me to fetch the oracle process id ( without using any of the V$ - system views) ? Does Oracle has such a feature /approach ?

Getting error code 1 when calling SSIS package from a stored procedure (SQL Server 2008 R2)

Hello,
I am trying to execute a SSIS package from SQL Server 2008 R2 stored procedure but getting error code 1 (as per my knowledge, error code description is as below:
0 The package executed successfully.
1 The package failed.
3 The package was canceled by the user.
4 The utility was unable to locate the requested package. The package could not be found.
5 The utility was unable to load the requested package. The package could not be loaded.
6 The utility encountered an internal error of syntactic or semantic errors in the command line.
Details:
I have a stored procedure named "Execute_SSIS_Package" (see below sp) which executes 'Import_EMS_Response' SSIS package (when I execute this package directly from SQL Server BID it works fine it means package itself is correct) and calling
it from SQL as:- EXEC Execute_SSIS_Package 'Import_EMS_Response'.
Here I receives error code 1.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue please?
Thanks in advance!
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Execute_SSIS_Package]
@strPackage nvarchar(100)
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @Result int
DECLARE @Environment VARCHAR(100)
SELECT @Environment = Waarde
FROM Sys_Settings
WHERE Optie = 'Omgeving'
--print @Environment
SET @strPackage = '"\W2250_NGSQLSERVER\BVT\' + @Environment + '\' + @strPackage + '"'
SET @cmd = 'dtexec /SQL ' + @strPackage + ' /SERVER "w2250\NGSQLSERVER" /Decrypt "BVT_SSIS" /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E'
--print @cmd
EXECUTE @Result = master..xp_cmdshell @cmd, NO_OUTPUT
--print @Result
END

It has something to do with the security.
E.g. cmdshell is not enabled or the caller has not rights over the package.
There could be a syntax error, too.
I suggest you make the package runnable off a SQL Agent job then trigger the job from the stored proc with
sp_start_job <job name>

Execution Times of Stored Procedures Called from Other Stored Procedures

If I execute sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats, it will produce execution times of my stored procedures executed recently.
However, stored procedures called from other stored procedures do not show up.
Is there code that can return the execution times of stored procedures even though they are called from other stored procedures.

Look at the example. It is counting nested execution.

Exec stored procedure from another stored procedure - not working

Hey, we've got a bunch of .sql files that we run, and some of them are stored procedures. Our programs call the stored procedures from within the .sql files and that works, but we've tried calling a stored procedure from another stored procedure and it won't compile. The syntax looks the same, and we can run that second stored procedure from the SQL*Plus command prompt just fine, so we know it's in there. It doesn't matter whether we type exec or execute in the first stored procedure--it still gives us a compilation error. Here's the relevant bit of the code:
        delete CMHISTORYINDEX;
        commit;
        exec SP_DAILY_TOTAL;
END SP_DAILY_CLOSING;
/Here's where we go into SQL*Plus and try to compile it:

Privilege for creating a View from a Stored Procedure

Hi,
                     I need to create a view from a procedure. I could do it from an anonymous block whereas I am unable to do that from a Stored Procedure. Should I need a specific privilege for performing this operation? If so what would be the reason behind it? Will that privilege be given in production databases?

Thank you for your answer. So should I issue the below statement? (Since I dont have dba privs i couldn't test this)
GRANT CREATE VIEW to P_ETL_TEST_VIEW;
I doubt that above will prevent the error from being thrown.
prior to running anonymous block again; just do as below
SET ROLE NONE;
doing so should result in same error being thrown when invoking
BEGIN
   p_etl_test_view;
END;
