Can we invoke sqlloader from sql * plus

Hi,
I need to invoke sql * loader from sql plus.
is it possible?

SQL*Loader is an OS prompt command, why want to use it under sql*plus ?
Anyway, you can find threads searching to see how run a shell scripts into the database.

Calling a function from sql*plus

I can call my procedure from sql *plus
by doing
sql>call Proc_name(x,y);
How do you call a function?

John,
I think moifying the statement
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "OGUSER"."OGX1" (user_county in integer, user_permit in integer )
TO
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "OGUSER"."OGX1" (user_county in integer, user_permit in integer ) return NUMBER is
AND before end you will have to add a return statement
(Probably
return 0;
exception
when others then
return 1;
end;
This will change your procedure to a function but I am not sure you'll be able to see your dbms_output's, if you call the function using select ...

How to use 10g's SQL tuning support from SQL*Plus

Hi,
I am having problems with my application's SQL queries execution time. I am not tuning guru, I know pretty little about tuning. As I read 10g has a SQL Tuning Advisor. Can I use it from SQL*Plus? I didn't say, but do not have the possibility to access the database, by no other means only SQL*Plus.
TIA
Regards,
Tamas Szecsy

If you have granted the ADVISOR privilege you may use it from SQL*PLUS
Look for examples on the web
(using DBMS_SQLTUNE package)

Can we run a unix script from sql plus

Hello,
Is there any possibility to run unix command from sql plus? I would appreciate if you can provide with the syntax.
Thank You

KKWithin sqlplus you can run
1) SQL statements
2) PL/SQL blocks
3) any valid sqlplus command.
SQLplus commands are documented in the SQLPlus reference manual. For 10g this is found at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm. You might be interested in the HOST command, detailed at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ch12026.htm#sthref2314
Just beware that the HOST command (or the shortcut version of it alluded to by Warren Tolentino) spawns a child process. When control comes back to sqlplus, that child process is gone.
What is the business problem you are trying to solve? If we knew that we could probably give better advice than blindly giving you the correct technical answer to a narrow question.

How to exit from SQL PlUS

HI,I came to know that direct exit from SQL Plus without Oracle shutdown causes future issues of ORA-0600 kind of errors. Is it true? If yes could u pls suggest me how to shutdown from user "SYSTEM/manager". Bcoz with this am warned that I dont have previleges.

Hello,
HI,I came to know that direct exit from SQL Plus without Oracle shutdown causes future issues of ORA-0600 kind of errors. Is it true?The ORA-00600 is an internal error it can be caused for instance by a Bug, a corruption, ... , and if someday you experience this kind of error, you should open a Service Request to My Oracle Support.
However, I've never heard that exiting sqlplus could cause this kind of error. Where did you get such information ?
how to shutdown from user "SYSTEM/manager". To shutdown the database you should be connected with the User SYS (as SYSDBA). You may use the following statement:
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
shutdown immediate;
exitHope this help.

How to connect from sql*plus to Sql Server

Dear Profs.
How I can connect from sql*plus v8 on my local pc(Win XP) to Sql Server Express 2005 light weight installed in same local pc ?
Thanks,
Ahmed.

You'll need to setup heterogeneous services. This is done by creating an init file for the SQL Server db with %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin that refers to a DSN for the Sql Server Database. The listener would also need an entry for the SQL Server DB DSN. After that you would create a dblink to SQL Server in your Oracle instance and then could query across the dblink.

How to exit from SQL*Plus based on the return value of a SQL select stment?

Hi
I have a SQL script executed from SQL*Plus. I would like to know if SQL*Plus
supports any kind of branching or exiting from script execution based on a
returned value of a SQL select statement. I am on 9i.
Regards,
Tamas Szecsy

in sqlplus, you have whenever
ex:
whenever sqlerror exit failure
insert into ...
-- if this fails, then you will be out
insert into ...
-- if this fails, then you will be out
whenever sqlerror continue
insert into ...
-- if this fails, this continues
insert into ...and you have PL/SQL
declare x number;
begin
select count(*) into x from emp;
if (x=14) then null; end if;
end;
/note that you can mix those in some case
-- exit if there is no row in emp
whenever sqlerror exit 1
var dummy number
exec select count(*) into :dummy from emp having count(*)!=0

How to login as DBA in oracle 9i from sql plus .

how to login as DBA in oracle 9i from sql plus . ???

First you need to check whether your HR schema is still unlocked or not? If it is locked - then you have to unlock it. And, then you can connect the Hr schema.
But, i'm not sure - why you need system to log into the HR schema?

Windows service does not stop when DB is shutdown from SQL*Plus

I have a 11g XE DB in a Windows 7 machine.
The installation has created a Windows service called OracleServiceXE. It's status is STARTED.
I then login to SQLPLUS as sysdba and do a shutdown immediate;
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
Problem is, when I refresh the services, the OracleServiceXE is still showing as STARTED.
If I use the listener control to stop the listener the Windows service OracleXETNSListener changes status to BLANK.
Why is this?

tvCa-Oracle wrote:
That service is a prerequisite Windows service to be able to start the database, but it is not the status of the database itself.
When you do start the database, he may or may not start the service automatically (not sure there), but it is a needed service, for each database SID, on Windows.
If you want to know what it is, open Task Manager or Process Explorer, only start the service (not the database), and see which OS process is launched.
AFAIK, this is only on Windows, there's no comparable component on Linux/Unix for this.
The Windows service OracleServiceXE has c:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin\ORACLE.EXE XE as the Parth to executable.
If I click on the Services tab in Task manager, then right-click the OracleServiceXE and click Go to process, it show the oracle.exe in the processes tab.
If stop it, the service, from the Windows service control, the oracle.exe disappears and we cannot login to the DB.
If we start the service from the windows service control, the oradim.exe appears, then a second later the oracle.exe appears. Once the DB status of the Windows service is STARTED, the oradim.exe disappears.
So, I can start and stop the oracle DB with the Windows service. But If I stop the DB from sql*plus the the service is not stopped....

Execute a mapping deployed with OWB 9.0.4 from SQL*Plus

Hello,
I could execute a mapping designed with OWB 9.0.3 from SQL*Plus with the next sentence:
SQL> exec my_mapping.main;
But now, with OWB 9.0.4, mappings are deployed as functions (in 9.0.3 were deployed as procedures) and they need parameters.
Somebody know how I can execute deployed mappings with OWB 9.0.4 from SQL*Plus? I don't know the parameters I need to call a mapping.
Thanks in advance,
Pedro.

Well, I've solved the problem with roles but
I've executed the script called sqlplus_exec_template.sql and it fails at Stage 2 because the next sentence
l_audit_execution_id := wb_rt_api_exec.open(l_task_type, l_task_name, l_location_name);
returns me NULL.
It is not clear the value that the variable called l_location_name have to stored. The script explain that this variable store the physical name of the
location to which the task was deployed. I understand that this variable have to store the schema where the mapping was deployed. That's right?
So I called the script in this manner:
SQL> @sqlplus_exec_template OWBRUN904I OJBHT PLSQL MY_MAPPING "," "," ;
where OWBRUN904I is the name of the Runtime Repository Schema, OJBHT is the
schema where MY_MAPPING is deployed, PLSQL is the task type and MY_MAPPING is
the name of the mapping I've designed.
Can you tell me why the scripts fails?
Regards,
Pedro

How to execute procedure returning data rows from sql plus

Even if i get the result set into the cursor, do i have to do normal fetch into all the coumn variables within a loop
But suppose no of columns in my result set varies depending on a parameter to the stored procedure.
Is there any straightforward way to retrieve all the data irrespective of no of columns in the result set.There is no such thing as a "+result set+". Oracle does not create a temporary data set in memory that contains the results of your query. What would happen if this result set is a million rows and is too large to fit into memory? Or there are a 100 clients each with a 100,000 row result set?
This is not scalable. You will be severely limited in the number and sizes of these "+result sets+" that can be created in server memory.
A cursor is in fact a "program" that is created by compiling the SQL source code that you provide. This source code is parsed and compiled into what Oracle calls an execution plan. This is nothing but a series of instructions that the cursor will execute in order to return the rows required.
Thus the result set is actually the output from a cursor (a program). Likewise, bind variables are the input parameters to this program.
All SQLs are parsed and compiled as cursors and stored in the SQL Shared Pool. Oracle gives you handle in return to use to address this cursor - bind values to it, execute it, describe the output structure returned by the cursor, and fetch the output from the cursor.
On the client side, this handle is used in different ways. In PL/SQL alone, this cursor handle can be used as an implicit cursor (you do not even see or use the cursor handle in your PL/SQL code). Or you can use a PL/SQL cursor variable. Or a DBMS_SQL cursor variable. Or a reference cursor variable.
Why so many different client structures for the very same SQL cursor handle returned by Oracle? Because to allow you, the programmer, all kinds of different features and flexibility.
The ref cursor feature is the ability to pass this cursor handle around, not only between PL/SQL code, but also from PL/SQL to the actual client process (Java. VB, SQL*Plus, TOAD, etc).
The primary thing to remember - irrespective of what the client calls this (e.g. ref cursor, SQL statement handle, etc), this all refers to the same SQL cursor in the Shared Pool. And that this SQL cursor is a program that outputs data, and not a result set in itself.

Script having Chinese characters throws error when run from SQL PLUS

Dear All,
I have a script file(.sql) which contains Chinese characters ....
I have saved the file in unicode Format.
When I run this file using @D:\filename from SQL PLUS it throws an error "unknown Command at line 1"...
My database is Oracle 10g...
Can anyone suggest anything???
Thanks In Advance
Dev
Edited by: Devarsh on Oct 21, 2009 8:16 AM

I think you may need to set your local NLS_LANG setting for your client (SQL*Plus) to recognize the characters.
You may also consider posting your question on the Globalization forum which pertains more to these types of questions.
