Command line history buffer in sqlplus

hi,
this question is not XE specific, but I want to know, whether there is a command line history buffer in sqlplus. It is not very comfortable to to work with sqlplus, when you have to work on a text only vt100 terminal :(

no, not natively but it on linux you can use something like rlwrap which will do it for you

How do I execute a returned sql string from a function on the command line?

Hi,
I have written a pl/sql function that will dynamically create a sql select statement. I need to be able to execute this statement from the command line. e.g from sqlplus
Say my function is called "sql_create" and it returns "select * from customer"
How do I execute the returned value from the command line?" Is it possible?
SQL> select sql_create from dual;
SQL_CREATE
select * from customer
SQL>
So I try:
SQL> exec execute immediate 'select sql_create from dual';
SQL>
I don't get an error but I don't get the result set either.
Is there a command I can use instead of execute immediate?
thanks,
Susan

depends on the frontend. Most frontends (like Java and .Net) know how to handle REF CURSORS. Instead of returing a "string" which represents a query, return a ref cursor
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 create function sql_q return sys_refcursor
2 is
3     rc sys_refcursor;
4 begin
5     open rc for select * from emp;
6     return rc;
7* end;
SQL> /
Function created.
SQL> var r refcursor
SQL>
SQL> exec :r := sql_q
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print r

Variable does not work for sqlplus (command line)

Here is an select:
variable x number;
variable y number;
variable a number;
define x = 2000;
define y = 2*1000;
define a = &x+&y;
select ener from adding where ener = &a;
When I execute it under SQL*Plus Worksheet (client installed on my PC) then I get output:
ENER
4000
1 row selected
When I execute this same under command line sqlplus (under unix shell) then I get output
old 1: select ener from adding where ener = &a
new 1: select ener from adding where ener = 2000+2*1000
no rows selected
What is worng ?

Nothing.
Sqlplus is correct and sql worksheet is buggy.
Define works with strings only. You cannot use it to calculate an expression.
Apparently sql worksheet did calculate the expression, and sqlplus didn't, submitting it as a string.
This is the expected behavior.
This behavior can likely vary by version, so thank you for not providing version info.
Will anything awful happen when you do, or is this just the lazyness epidemia in this forum?

Specifying the container to connect to from command line utilities (sqlplus/expdp etc)

Hi,
To kick off this forum I've been playing around with 12c multitenant/pluggable features and I've a general question about connections to the container database - it seems from everything i tried so far (and everything I've read) that there is no way to connect to a container database without going through a sqlnet connection. For example:
export ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID etc
sqlplus username/password -- this can only connect to the container database? (once you are in you can alter session to switch to the plugable database but can;t do it directly in the connection)
to connect to a plugged in database you always have to go through sqlnet
sqlpus username/password@pluggable
there is no option to say something like:
export ORACLE_SID=container
export ORACLE_CONTAINER=pluggable
and then do sqlplus username/password ?
or some extra command line switch like
export ORACLE_SID=container
sqlplus -container=pluggable username/password
Is that understanding correct or have i missed something in the documentation?
Regards,
Harry
http://dbaharrison.blogspot.com

Hello Richard,
In Oracle Multitenant the only way to connect to a PDB is by specifying a service.
However, there is a shortcut that you can use - TWO_TASK, which you will find documented elsewhere.
This allows you to specify the default service to be used - think of it as being appended silently to your username/password specification. I hope this helps.

How to use sqlplus with utf8 on windows command line

I expected sqlplus to work interactively with the following settings:
- Lucida Console font for command window
- chcp 65001 (UTF8-Windows-Codepage)
- set NLS_LANG=.AL32UTF8
But it turned out that
1) sqlplus apparently does not use WIN32-API function ReadConsoleW and WriteConsoleW (these wide char functions must be used instead of ReadFile and WriteFile for Console I/O)
2) cmd silently ignores all .cmd and .bat files with codepage set to 65001.
I fear that such a problem regarding a minority of command line freaks has low priority for Oracle and for Microsoft, so I wrote two small filters in C.
rconsu8 passes keyboard input to stdout, using ReadConsoleW
wconsu8 passes stdin to console, using WriteConsoleW
both set the UTF8-codepage 65001 and restore the previous codepage at exit.
Anybody interested?
(Yes, I know that I could use sqldeveloper.)
Sample session:
C:\>set NLS_LANG=.AL32UTF8
C:\>rconsu8 | sqlplus scott/tiger@DBUTF8 | wconsu8
SQL> select '€' from dual;
'€'
€
SQL> select * from test_cyrillic;
NAME
Йозеф
Euro €

Console Output
works for characters covered by Lucida Console font if the first character in a line is ASCII (code < 128, e.g. blank)
CHCP 65001
sqlplus
SQL> select ' ', unistr('Josef \0419\043E\0437\0435\0444') from dual;
Josef Йозеф
SQL> select ' ',unistr('Euro \20AC') from dual;
Euro €
Sven, windows is able to render the output (as covered by Lucida Console), but there is a quirk in MSVCRTxx (C Runtime-Lib), function fwrite(). The first byte in a line is passed separately to an isolated single write() call, which causes conversion of an utf8 sequence to fail.
Console Input
For non-ascii characters (code >= 128), ReadConsoleW must be called, e.g. through a simple filter converting UTF-16 stdin to UTF-8 stdout.

SQLplus TO_UPPER command line argument

Hi,
I am reading in a command line argument from SQLplus to use in a PL/SQL block, and need to do a TO_UPPER on the argument, but it doesn't work when I check against it,<br><b>
IF UPPER('&1.') = 'IPF' THEN ...
<br><br></b>
How do I work around this? I tried declaring a variable and assigning the value to it, and then doing a TO_UPPER on it, but that didn't work either. How do I convert the command line argument to all uppercase in SQLplus?
Thank you, Laura

Laura:
How are you calling the PL/SQL block? This works:
SQL> !cat t.sql
DECLARE
   l_v VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
   IF UPPER('&1') = 'IPF' THEN
      l_v := 'Got IPF';
   ELSE
      l_v := 'Did not get IPF';
   END IF;
   DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(l_v);
END;
SQL> @t abc
old   4:    IF UPPER('&1') = 'IPF' THEN
new   4:    IF UPPER('abc') = 'IPF' THEN
Did not get IPF
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> @t ipf
old   4:    IF UPPER('&1') = 'IPF' THEN
new   4:    IF UPPER('ipf') = 'IPF' THEN
Got IPF

SQLPLUS - redirection of output/command line

I would like to send SQL-commands to Oracle 8.0.5 from a BATCH
command line interface.
I have by trial and error found the following to work in SQLPlus
for Oracle 8.0.5
SQLPLUS <userid>/<password>@<MACHINE> @<input.sql>
However, this just starts a new window with the SQL-commands
given in input.sql. I would like the output to be redirected to
an output file - preferably without having to write long code in
the input.sql file.
Any hints or surgestions ?

Hi Torben , if I understood your question you can put in your
INPUT.SQL file de instruction SPOOL C:\TEMP\OUTPUTLIE.TXT
before you execute the sql statements . At the end of results
you have put the command SPOOL OFF . If after this you would
like execute the file like a batch command file use the
@c:\temp\outputfile.txt
Ok ?

Command Line sqlplus without using @filename

How can I pass sql statement directly to sqlplus on command line without using an external file ?

If the insert happens infrequently, then the cost of writing
to a temporary file may not matter overall. And if the
insert happens frequently, the cost of invoking SQL*Plus and
connecting to the DB could outweigh the time for writing to
a file.
Do you have any problem doing something like:
tail -f mylog.txt | myawkprog | sqlplus -s scott/tiger
Here I'm thinking that 'myawkprog' prints appropriate INSERT
and COMMIT statements.
For what it is worth, I have an old, old Perl 4 script for a
similar log parsing task. It keeps the SQL*Plus connection
alive forever and makes sure there is no I/O buffering. The
outline of it is below. Use at own risk.
-- CJ
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
# Open I/O pipes
open(LG, "tail -f /tmp/mylog.txt|") || die "Can't open input";
open(SP, "| sqlplus -s scott/tiger") || die "Can't open sqlplus";
# unbuffered I/O
select(LG); $| = 1;
select(SP); $| = 1;
while(<LG>)
chop;
print SP "insert into mytab values ('$_');\n";
print SP "commit;\n";
# Never actually get here
close(LG);
close(SP);

[solved] Limit to the pacman command line buffer?

Is there such a thing as a limit to the number of characters in a pacman command line?
It's easy enough to get past this with multiple calls to pacman but presents a problem with archiso where the apps are all listed in a single file that is used to call pacman only once. I might add that I'm using local repos in both instances below.

There is likely a limit, but that's not what the problem is here. Highlight the text in the codeblock:
KairiTech wrote:pacman -S \
galculator \

You are including spaces after the backslashes on multiple lines, so you are not escaping the newlines but only the spaces. The first line simply calls pacman with a space, which is why you get "target not found" (there is no package named " ") instead of "no targets specified".
The next line invokes galculator with gnumeric, gimp and " " as arguments, etc.
Incidentally, if you need to deal with long package lists, you can pipe them via other commands or from files, e.g.
pacman -S - < /path/to/file/list
cmd_that_prints_long_list | pacman -S -

How to run stored procedure in DOS command line????

True Billy, but even Windows hasn't completely got away from using the "DOS" word...Yeah - the command line/shell environment is based on that of the old DOS command interpreter. But Microsoft does not make the mistake of call it DOS.
In fact, with earlier versions of Windows NT, a 16bit DOS real-mode virtual machine was supported. This was very kewl.
Running a large BBS with multiple nodes back then required a DOS machine per node, an IPX network, and a Novell file server.Novell Netwars. ;)
Ahhhh! good old DOS... so many good programs written at that low level, outside the Windoze environment.Yeah.. cut my teeth on writing code for DOS. Still have all my old BIOS and assembler manuals for it. Wrote my own screen s/w (write to a buffer and then move it into the video buffer, instead of writing char wise to the video buffer via interrupts), mucking about with my own concurrent threading model (using very simplistic cooperative multitasking) and so on. Heck, wrote tons of s/w on DOS... :-)Yeah I've still got a copy of my old machine code programs for writing to buffers and screen memory switching for smooth animation. Run them nowadays and they run like sh!t off a shovel. And all my old coursework including writing an interpreted language and multi-window (dos based windows) editor, parser and the code to execute the language and display the output. Oooo, and so much other stuff.
Awesome back then as you got really intimate with the o/s and hardware. This is sorely lacking today in environments like Java. And I think the reason why so much code written today is less than optimal - to put it kindly.Exactly. Started for me on the Sinclair zx81 (writing Basic), then the Sinclair Spectrum (Basic and Assembly), then Sinclair QL (yes I really had one!) and then the BBC Master 128K (where I got to writing my own rom filing system and creating my own eproms, to integrate with the word processor for additional printing features etc. as well as storing games on rom for speedy loading - and I still have it and it still works!)
It's that level of working with the underlying memory and assembly language that gives you the understanding of how values are passed between code using the stack and registers, and how memory allocation and referencing is done etc. As you say... it's missed in a lot of todays teaching, which just seems too high level and misses the basic concepts of things such as datatypes and why they are different. I bet half the modern programmers wouldn't have a clue how to do multiplication or division of binary numbers using the carry flag.

Thank you for the quick answer. I believe you are right in your assumption.
I have been searching but found nothing so far.
I need to be able to run this line "wmic

in an elevated command prompt to uninstall the program.
I was looking for a VB script or PowerShell to execute it remotely on non domain roaming PCs.
Th3e command can be run remotely against stand-alone workstations but you must supply credentials. Post in the platform forum for you version of Windows for help in using the WMIC utility. WMIC /? will give you all of the command options fro
remote execution. UAC only affects local systems. You cannot use WMIC to remote back to the local system. WMIC does not allow impersonation to the local system.
Most installers will not automatically allow an unattended uninstall. If there is any dialog at all the uninstall will fail and can hang.
I recommend contacting the vendor of the application to get more information.
In all cases you cannot bypass UAC as Bill has noted. I am only noting that, sometimes, in a workgroup, you can use WMIC to remotely uninstall an application.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Problems Creating a CSV from command line

I have tried to create a csv file from the command line and get some unwanted lines of data in the output. Does anyone know how to create a csv without the extra lines from the command line.
I am using the following sequence of commands.
set wrap off
set termout off
set verify off
set heading off
set feedback off
set lines 900
set pages 9999
set newpage none
set embedded on
set colsep ','
set trimspool on
spool test6.lst
select * from rft;
spool off
When I run this from a script, I get exactly the data, which is what I want.
When I run this from the command prompt, I get an extra line at the start and one at the end of the csv file.
The data at the start is like this:
WMSP:wmsp:SQL*Plus> select * from rft;
The data at the end is like this:
WMSP:wmsp:SQL*Plus> spool off
Does anyone know how to keep these lines out of the data?
Thank you.

Well, a workaround could be to use one of the gazillions of utilities in Unix/Linux to remove all lines having the sql prompt (SQL>), right after your "test6.lst" file has been created.
I am using the "perl pie" for the same in the code snippet that follows:
$
$ cat create_csv.sh
#!/bin/bash
sqlplus -s test/test << EOF
set wrap off
set termout off
set verify off
set heading off
set feedback off
set lines 900
set pages 9999
set newpage none
set embedded on
set colsep ','
set trimspool on
set echo off
spool test6.lst
select * from t;
spool off
EOF
# remove the lines that have the sql prompt: SQL>
perl -pi -e "s/SQL\>.*$|^$\n//g" test6.lst
$
$ # run the script, dump stdout to the null device
$ create_csv.sh 1>/dev/null
$
$ cat test6.lst
         1,a
         2,b
         3,c
         4,d
$
$Note that the "test6.lst" on my system had the prompt "SQL>". You will have to tweak that regular expression so that it works for the prompt in your "test6.lst" file.

Running FlexUnit tests from command line

Sorry if that has been posted before: I searched best I could and nothing came up.
I am interested in building and running my unit tests from the command line so we can add it to a nightly build process.
I am *very* new to all this: basically I picked up Adobe Flash Builder 4 a month ago and I have done *everything* inside that IDE: writing code, building, testing, running.
I looked into at least how to build something from the command line, I found this:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-59108b2e1215eb9d5e4-8000 .html
Can't get past this error:
Buildfile: /Users/dbanks/build_test.xml
BUILD FAILED
Target "FlexUnitApplication" does not exist in the project "null".
Total time: 0 seconds
Adobe Flash Builder 4:
An error has occurred. See the log file
/Users/dbanks/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4/.metadata/.log.
Plus, even if I got this going, I am just building the swf. I also want to run it and capture the output in some meaningful way that can be read/evaluated/acted on.
FWIW, the script/xml I am using to try to build:
build_test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project default="main">
    <target name="main">
        <fb.exportReleaseBuild project="NightclubMogul" />
    </target>
</project>
execute_build_test.sh:
WORKSPACE="$HOME/Documents/AdobeFlashBuilder4"
# works with either FlashBuilder.app or Eclipse.app
"/Applications/AdobeFlashBuilder4" \
    --launcher.suppressErrors   \
    -noSplash   \
    -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner   \
    -data "$WORKSPACE"    \
    -file "/Users/dbanks/build_test.xml" FlexUnitApplication
I am not clear what in here is actually supposed to point to where my project lives: it's off in some directory somewhere. I see that I am pointing to a workspace (Documents/AdobeFlashBuilder4) but when I poke around in there I don't see anything connecting back to the directories where the code lives.
Any help would be great: getting the tests to build from command line, then getting them to run.

C:\>sqlplus @myscript
That would be the easiest variation
C:\>sqlplus user/passwd@tns_alias @myscript
would be an often used variation
And then there is of course the version with parameter passing:
C:\>sqlplus user/passwd@tns_alias @myscript param1 ... paramx
Dunno about MSBuild
