Calling sql from a shell script

I have code like the following
sqlplus -s /nolog >> EOF
select 1 from dual;
EOF
Is it possible for me to pass result set to a shell variable or do I have to spool it to a file and then read the file?

what is the best way to parse a multi-column, multi-row result set. lets say i have a query that has 9 rows and 2 columns.
this query was
select sysdate, 1
from user_objects
where rownum < 10
07-DEC-2007 16:01:16 1 07-DEC-2007 16:01:16 1 07-DEC-2007 16:01:16 1 07-DEC-2007 16:01:16 1 07-DEC-2007 16:01:16 1 07-DEC-2007 16:01:16 1 07-DEC-2007 16:01:16 1 07-DEC-2007 16:01:16 1 07-DEC-2007 16:01:16 1

Calling sqlplus from unix shell script

Hi All,
I am executing the following code :-
sqlplus -s ${DATABASE_USER} |&
print -p -- 'set feed off pause off pages 0 head off veri off line 500'
print -p -- 'set term off time off serveroutput on size 1000000'
print -p -- "set sqlprompt ''"
print -p -- "SELECT run_command from tmp_run_batch where upper(batch_name) = upper('${PAR_PROGRAM_NAME}');"
read -p RUN_COMMAND
eval print -p -- \""execute dbms_output.put_line(${RUN_COMMAND});"\"
read -p RET_VAL
print -p -- "exit;"
The select stmt given above gives sample output as :-
pack_claims_clas_utils.func_main('$PAR_RUN_DATE','$PAR_RUN_LEVEL','$PAR_EXCLUSIVE_RUN_YN')
And then this package is executed.
The problem that I am facing is how to handle the no_data_found case of the select stmt. . When this case arises then the stmt. "read -p RUN_COMMAND" hangs.
Could you please provide any solution ?
Thanks

Hi,
Have you tried this:
# if [ -n means String has non-zero length
if [ -n $RUN_COMMAND ]
read -p RUN_COMMAND
fi

Passing Multiple Parameters to SQL Script from a Shell Script

Hi Friends,
I have SQL script which accepts 6 parameters.
I am calling this from a shell script as shown below:
sqlplus -s ${ORACLE_ID} @${SQLPATH}KORONT_041.sql ${USER_ID} ${PDC} ${item_number} ${KORDC} ${PDCSET} ${last_Updated_in_hours} Out of the six parameters, item_number is not a mandatory parameter.
When i pass all six parameters, there is no issue.
But when i leave item_number blank, i am getting the below error
Enter value for 6:
User requested Interrupt or EOF detected.Based on the error, it seems that the NULL values for item_number is ignored and SQL*PLUS is waiting for one more input from user.
How can i overcome this issue?
Regards,
Sreekanth

Calling stored procedure from unix shell script

Hello,
I am facing a problem while calling a stored procedure from UNIX shell script. I want to return a output variable from the stored procedure to the UNIX environment.
Here is the code-
#!/bin/sh
OUTPUT=`sqlplus cmag/magnum@dw <<ENDOFSQL
set serveroutput on;
var prd_out varchar2(100);
exec create_pm_window(:prd_out);
exit;
ENDOFSQL`
echo " output is - $OUTPUT"
The problem is :prd_out is not getting copied to shell variable OUTPUT.
I have a dbms_output.put_line in the stored proc create_pm_window and I can see that prd_out is getting populated.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks'
Rakhee

First step :
make sure the PL/SQL works as expected.
Does the following display the expected output executed from SQL*Plus ?
set serverout on
declare
prd_out varchar2(100);
begin
create_pm_window(prd_out);
dbms_output.put_line('output is '||prd_out);
end;
I don't have your procedure, but using a dummy procedure like :
Scott@my10g SQL>create procedure foo(p_out in out varchar2)
2 is
3 begin
4 select 'Hello '||instance_name into p_out from v$instance;
5 end;
6 /
Procedure created. and a toto.sh script as :OUTPUT=`sqlplus -s scott/tiger <<EOF
set pages 0 lines 120 trimout on trimspool on tab off echo off verify off feed off serverout on
var mavar varchar2(100);
exec foo(:mavar);
print mavar;
exit;
EOF`
echo "OUT = ${OUTPUT}"
exitIt works fine :[oracle@Nicosa-oel ~]$ ./toto.sh
OUT = Hello my10g

Passing params from SQL file to Shell Script and then from Shell to SQL Fil

Afternoon guys,
Have a fun question for all you gurus in shell scripting out there. I have a shell script that is calling 2
different SQL programs. My objective is to pass a variable called request_number from one sql program
to the shell script and then from the shell script back to another SQL program. I will explain why I
need this to happen.
Here is what the shell script looks like which calls sql programs student_load_a.sql and
student_load_b.sql. Student_load_a.sql basically creates the control file (.ctl) which is needed for the
SQL*Loader and then student_load_b.sql reads the table that was just loaded and does the main
processing. My main objective here is to be passing the request_number which is being generated
using an Oracle Sequence in student_load_a.sql and using this generated number in my main
processing in student_load_b.sql to select records from the table based on request_number.
Any ideas ?Any help or recommendations is welcome and appreciated.
*1. Shell Script*
# Accept system input parameters

p_job_id=$2

How come you are mixing WinDoze script (*.exe) with Unix?
You are aware that you will be passing the password along with the user id to the second sql script?
I will assume Unix ksh:
# Accept system input parameters
p_user_id=$1
p_job_id=$2
# Create control files for sqlload
p_seqno=`sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_a.sql $p_job_id`
exit_status=$?
# Do sqlloads
sqlldr userid=$p_user_id control=student_load-$p_job_id.ctl \
       log=student_load-$p_job_id.log \
       bad=student_load-$p_job_id.bad
exit_status=$?
# Main processing
# sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_b.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_request_number
sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_b.sql \
           $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_seqno
exit_status=$?
exit 0And the first sql script would look like this:
-- student_load_a.sql
-- Accept system input parameters
set echo off pages 0 feed off lin 80 trims on ver off
def p_job_id = &1
col seqno NEW_VALUE seqno
select request_number_seq.nextval seqno from dual;
set term off
spool student_load-$p_job_id.ctl
select
'append into table TMP_STUDENT_LOAD
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '','' optionally enclosed by ''"''
trailing nullcols
(request_number CONSTANT ''&&seqno'',
student_id)'
from   dual
spool off;
exit 0;

Calling a report from unix shell script

Hi,
I had to call a report from unix shell script.
May i know the procedure to accomplish this
Thanks in Advance
A.Gopal

First you should not include the whole path to your report in the call ...
Use like this:
/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/bin/rwrun.sh report=an_stati destype=file desname=/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/test.pdf desformat=pdf
In $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh:
1) Verify that you have updated the REPORTS_PATH variable to include your folder where you have the report in question
REPORTS_PATH=/ora/u20/app/qits/env1/run:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/templates:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo: ....
2) Verify that the REPORTS_TMP variable is pointing to a valid location and that the oracle user has access to write on it.
After that, post the content of the tracefile located at $ORACLE_HOME/reports/logs/{in-process report server name folder}/rwserver.trc
If no file is present then it means that you need to enable trace in your reports's conf file.... go to the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf folder and and locate the .conf file that correspond to your in-process reports server name (as specified in the rwservelet.properties file)... open/edit the file to enable trace logs ..
i.e.
Change the following line:

to <trace traceOpts="trace_all"/>
Bounce the reports server and try to run the report again, this time the .trc file should be generated, post the content so that we can take a look.

Debugging a program being called from a shell script

hi All,
i want to know how debug a C program being called from A Shell Script,
my script looks like the following :
ecReqProcMain $Cfg/ecReq.g $TotCnt 2>> $ErrFilei also have to pass some arguments to the script itsellft, which in trun going to pass it to the program,
also in some cases i may be required to Pipe some data to the program, like the folowing
cat DataFile | myProgramThanks ,

You can also use ss_attach with the scheme that Anton
suggested above. Instead of inserting "dbx" into your
script, insert "ss_attach" into your script.
It's also possible to change your script to something like this:
cat DataFile | ${DEBUG} myProgram
Then you can run your script like this:
setenv DEBUG ss_attach
ecReqProcMain $Cfg/ecReq.g $TotCnt 2>> $ErrFile
--chris

Pl/sql procedure with shell script

Hi Guys,
I will be updating some of the columns in the database thru SQL UPDATE stament. I want to make this process automatic. I.e instead of running manually this uodate process, i want to write a unix script which run on cron job. In the update stament I have to compare date like e_create_date > to_date (........, 'yymmdd') and date should be 2 days previous then to date and I would ike to create the spool file which I would like to send through mail.the script will run automatically.
I am confused how to write shell script & sql procedure and how to call it inside the shell script. How can this be done.
Help Appreciated.
Thanks
sonu

save the Store procedure as a create_SP.sql in OS
save another testrun.sql
as follows
begin
sp_test('&p_test');
end;
If you are on a Unix or Solaris OS then
open a Shell Script as follows :
and name as test.sh or test.ksh
var='SYSTEM'
export var
sqlplus username/password
@create_SP.sql
-- this created a store procedure on the database
@testrun.sql $var
This will execute the SP with parameter from OS Variable.

How to Call Multiple Sessions through Shell scripting

Dear Members,
I have a scenario where I load data into target table from 20 different source tables.
For this I have written three procedures where there exists an bulk insert executed on a same table in every procedure. Now I have to call these procedures simultaneously so that
all three bulk loads are executed at once in different sessions.
For this I have to write a shell script which opens 3 different sessions and execute all these packages at once.
Can you guide me through.

When you call sqlplus in your shell script, put a & at the end so that it runs the SQL scripts in the background. For instance:
#!/bin/bash
...oracle home stuff
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus user/pass @script.sql &
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus user/pass @script2.sql &
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus user/pass @script3.sql &

Hi Kamal and kanakam kolla,
This is just to let you know that,I solved my problem little differently by creating a new location and deployed the process flow.Now my process flow is working fine when i call from the shell script.What i see is that, it does not update properly when we update and redeploy the process flow.So far this is the work arround i could think off and i succesfully tested this.
Thank you Kamal and kanakam kolla,for giving a thought towards my problem.
Thanks

Is it possible to pass a variable from a shell script back to an Automator action?

Is it possible to pass a variable from a shell script back to an Automator action?
For instance, if I assign a value of foo to $var1 in my shell script how would I retrieve/pass that value in the next Automator action. I see that there is a variable called "Shell Script" but I can't any information on how to use it.

red_menace,
Thanks but I still don't understand how to pass a single value that was set in the UNIX scipt back to Automator has a variable. Take the example below, I write 4 varables to STDOUT and all 4 are stored in a variable named "storage". How do I assign 1 of these values to the Automator "storage" variable? For instance if I wanted to assign the value of $var2 to "storage" , how would I do that?

Return codes from sqlldr command from unix shell script

I am trying to capture error code from sql loader from unix shell script and display proper messages.
sqlldr parfile=sdb.par control=$cntlfile data=$infile bad=$badFile log=$logFile rows=10000
rows=10000
retcode=`echo $?`
case "$retcode" in
0) echo "SQL*Loader execution successful" ;;
1) echo "SQL*Loader execution exited with EX_FAIL, see logfile" ;;
2) echo "SQL*Loader execution exited with EX_WARN, see logfile" ;;
3) echo "SQL*Loader execution encountered a fatal error" ;;
*) echo "unknown return code";;
esac
Eventhough, there are errors while executing sqlldr, it is always returing recode zero. What could be the possible reason
Please advice

Is there a typo in your code ?
sqlldr parfile=sdb.par control=$cntlfile data=$infile bad=$badFile log=$logFile rows=10000
rows=10000
retcode=`echo $?` In this code, you get the return code of the statement in bold which is not the sqlldr statement ...

Reading variables from a shell script

i was wondering if it is possible to enter variables from a shell script that an sql file can use:
ex:
shell script file
#!/bin/ksh
stty -echo
read pwd?"Enter password for user: "
echo
stty echo
read var?"Please enter value for variable: "
echo
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus user/$pwd @TEST.sql
sql file TEST.sql
set serveroutput on
set verify off
spool out.log
update table set parameter_value = '$var' where parameter_name = 'X';
commit;
exit;
spool off;
i tried that and it seems its updating my table with "var" and not what the user entered that is the bind variable $var
am i missing something?

if user hits enter (which means null) can the program
not end and ask the user to enter another value?Try this way :
while :
do
        echo -n "Please enter value for variable: "
        read VAR
        if [ "$VAR" ]; then
                break
        else
                continue
        fi
done
