Creating a package in sql*plus

Dear all;
Do you know what is wrong with this statement
SQL> create or replace pkg_initial_comment as procedure save_initial_comment(p_i
d number, p_first_name varchar2, p_last_name varchar2, p_comment varchar2, p_dat
e date); end save_initial_comment; create or replace package body pkg_initial_co
mment as procedure save_initial (p_id number, p_comments varchar2, p_first_name
varchar2, p_last_name varchar2, p_date date) is begin insert into initial_commen
ts values (1, p_first_name, p_last_name, p_comment, sysdate); end save_initial;
end pkg_initial_comment;
create or replace pkg_initial_comment as procedure save_initial_comment(p_id num
ber, p_first_name varchar2, p_last_name varchar2, p_comment varchar2, p_date dat
e); end save_initial_comment; create or replace package body pkg_initial_comment
as procedure save_initial (p_id number, p_comments varchar2, p_first_name varch
ar2, p_last_name varchar2, p_date date) is begin insert into initial_comments va
lues (1, p_first_name, p_last_name, p_comment, sysdate); end save_initial; end p
kg_initial_commentI keep getting the following error message
ora-00922:
and my table structure is below
create table initial_comment (id number(30),
first_name varchar2(4000), last_name varchar2(4000), create_date date);

yeah I just realized all my problems, it wasnt just the package keyword, it was also the names were wrong in both the specification and body. I am not used to using sql*plus, i use all other client tools which gives an opportunity to see and understand my syntax clearly. sorry about the posting and formatting. thanks for the help

Using SQL*Plus you can debug your stored pl/sql code only adding some "prints" in your code:
SQL> create or replace procedure test is
2 begin
3 dbms_output.put_line('starting...');
4 --do something here
5 dbms_output.put_line('done step 1');

8 end;

How to create an object using sql*plus?

Hi,
I have tried to create an object , but after pressing enter key I could not get SQL command prompt or errors. How to come out from this? Could you help me to find what's wrong.
SQL> create type course as object(

Reading package contents in SQL Plus

Hi,
I'd asked a similar question last week, but didn't see it responded to with a proper reply.
Ive created a package in SQL Plus, and much like you use the DESCRIBE command to see info on tables that are created, I'd like to see the contents and script of my package to verify some contents of it.
How can I do that? Or can I do that?
I've read this:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/appdev.817/a77069/08_packs.htm#4376
But it doesn't explain within how to go about doing that if indeed that is possible at all. Would anyone that knows if this can be done please reply with the way to do it?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can query USER_SOURCE (or ALL_SOURCE, at your choice) to get what you need.
Consider:
SQL> create or replace package small is
2    procedure Test;
3 end;
4 /
Package created.
SQL> create or replace package body small is
2
3 procedure Test is
4 begin
5    null;
6 end;
7
8 end;
9 /
Package body created.We just created simple package, for demonstration purposes. Now, we're about to view its source:
SQL> column text format a100
SQL>
SQL> select line, text
2    from user_source
3   where name = 'SMALL'
4     and type = 'PACKAGE'
5   order by line;
      LINE TEXT
         1 package small is
         2   procedure Test;
         3 end;
SQL> select line, text
2    from user_source
3   where name = 'SMALL'
4     and type = 'PACKAGE BODY'
5   order by line;
      LINE TEXT
         1 package body small is
         2
         3 procedure Test is
         4 begin
         5   null;
         6 end;
         7
         8 end;
8 rows selected.

Error creating view with CASE -- WHEN statement in SQL*Plus

I am using Oracle 8i 8.1.7
I have an Oracle view which uses CASE...WHEN statements.
The view compiles fine in DBA studio.
Using TOAD I saved the view as an *.sql file.
However, when I try to create the view in SQL*Plus I get the following error:

According to the documentation CASE -- WHEN has been implemented since since Oracle 8i rel. 2 (8.1.6)

Well I'm using 8.1.6.3 and CASE and DECODE both work for me:

Create DB through SQL*Plus

What is the syntax used to create a database within SQL*Plus (my
assumption as an Oracle newbie is that it can be done)?
A "Create Database <dbname>" command returns an insufficient
privileges error (user = system).
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi
To create database from SQL*Plus you need to use connect as
sysdba. But not only this. The hole procedure is very dificult.
You need to set iniSID.ora file, setup environment variables and
so on. It is easy to use graphical tools.
But if you want to know more about database administration it is
good idea to create at least one time database from 'scrap'.
Read create database topics in Oracle Database Administration
Guide. If you do it alone it will be great task. Good luck.

SQL * Plus - forward slash usage

I have package spec and body in separate files, i have 2 packages, so i have 4 files in total.
I want to install the 2 packages using "SQL * Plus", but how the install-script should look like. I don't understand how and where to use "sql * plus" command "forward-slash" "/".
Should it be like this:
spec_file_1
body_file_1
spec_file_1
body_file_1
Or how the "/" should be used? Only ones at the end? I don't understand.

You can write a single file this way:
create or replace package a is
end;
create or replace package body a is
end;
create or replace package b is
end;
create or replace package body b is
end;
/And then run it in sqlplus this way:
SQL >@a.sqlor multiple files this way:
create or replace package a is
end;
create or replace package body a is
end;
create or replace package b is
end;
create or replace package body b is
end;
/And then run them in sqlplus this way:
SQL >@a.sql
SQL >@b.sql
SQL >@c.sql
SQL >@d.sqlOr write a file e that runs a,b,c,d this way:
@a.sql
@b.sql
@c.sql
@d.sqlAnd then run it in sqlplus this way:
SQL >@e.sqlIn the previous examples the slash is always at the end of each CREATE...END;
This is not compulsory. In the last example you could remove the slashes from the files a,b,c,d and write the file e this way:
@a.sql
@b.sql
@c.sql
@d.sql
/This works anyway.

After I have Created a Package

I am a newbie to Oracle. I have created a package in a schema that I am owner of and need to execute the contents of this package from within the same schema.Why do I have to create a public synonym for my package and GRANT EXECUTE to the synonym before the procedures and functions etc inside the package can be executed.

you don't need synonyms.
you must have execute rights for this package.
in sql-plus type:
exec <packagename>.<procedurename>;

Instant Client SQL*Plus License Question

Can anyone shed some light on a license question for me? (I know that most license questions are for Oracle Sales to handle, but this involves a supposedly free product.)
I want to use SQL*Plus with the Instant Client in a production environment, but I am not sure whether I am entitled to. Does Instant Client "support" SQL*Plus only in the sense that if I already own a license for SQL*Plus I can use it with the Instant Client, or is the Instant Client SQL*Plus package also truly free to deploy and use?
The download page has links to download a basic Instant Client, plus several optional packages, one of which is SQL*Plus. However, the FAQ does not tell me whether the optional packages (specifically SQL*Plus) is also free to deploy and use in a production environment, and I could not find any other helpful document.
The FAQ says that "Instant Client is FREE for anyone to use in a development or production environment." It also says immediately following that "Instant Client can be used to run your OCI, OCCI, Pro*C, JDBC, and ODBC applications without installing a full Oracle Client. In addition, Instant Client supports SQL*Plus." [emphasis mine]
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Why don't you call Oracle sales? I guess they'll be happy to answer your question.
Yours,

SQL*Plus report running through concurrent managers

I Created a report in sql*plus from a view table and running it through the concurrent manager in 11.5.10.2. I'm using 4 paramaters, but I made the awards paramaters as required parameters and the from and to creation dates as not required. However, I noticed when trying to run the report with just the awards numbers no data is populated, but when i run the report with awards and dates then the reports shows data. Is there a way to get this report to run with awards only and make dates as an option from the query below?
parameters#
##1 from award number
##2 to award number
##3 from creation date
##4 to creation date
set termout off
set head off
set pages 0
set feedback off
set verify off
set define #
col sort_col noprint
SELECT 'Revenue Report for Date ##3 - ##4, Awards ##1 - ##2', 0 sort_col
FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'AWARD NUMBER^EVENT DATE^DESCRIPTION^REVENUE AMOUNT^CREATION DATE',

After running sql scripts in SQL plus, where are the results(tables) stored

Hi ,
I am using oracleDb10g . i have used SQL plus to create a database. I have run 2 sql scripts and constructed the tables , but i dont know where the data is stored and how to make the data into a database, so that i can use it for connection through some UI.
for example: schema.sql, data.sql script files.
SQL> start schema.sql
SQL> start data.sql
The tables are created.
Now how can i group those table into a database and name it.(i mean i can create a database using SQL plus, but how to dump the tables into the database created). Because i want to use this database name for connecting to MS SQL, so i need the name.
Thanks

Execution of Immediate SQL in compiled package in two versions of SQL*PLUS

A peculiar problem has risen in our database.
Execution of Immediate SQL in compiled package in two versions of SQLPLUS gives different results
We have a compiled package with two procedures that contain immediate SQL statements, and these are:
+PROC_DELETE_ROWS+
+     -- This immediate sql deletes unreferenced Document Types from the DOC_REF_TYPE table+
+     delete from doc_ref_type t where exists (select 1 from PROARC_DOC_REF_TYPE_VW d where d.doc_ref_type = t.doc_ref_type)+
   +     and not exists (select 1 from doc_ref d where d.doc_ref_type = t.doc_ref_type)+
   +     and doc_ref_type not in (select doc_ref_type from eis_doc_ref_type)+
   +     and doc_ref_type not in (select eis_doc_ref_type from eis_doc_ref_type)+
+PROC_ADD_NEW_ROWS+
+     -- Drop the temporary table+
+     drop table TMP_PROARC_DOC_REF_TYPE+
+     -- Create a temporary table+
+     create table tmp_PROARC_DOC_REF_TYPE as+
+     select DOC_REF_TYPE, substr(DOC_REF_TYPE_DESC,1,100) as DOC_REF_TYPE_DESC+
+     from PROARC_DOC_REF_TYPE_VW+
+     -- Insert document types that do not exist in the DOC_REF_TYPE table+
+     insert into doc_ref_type t (DOC_REF_TYPE, DOC_REF_TYPE_DESC)+
        +     select distinct DOC_REF_TYPE, DOC_REF_TYPE_DESC from tmp_PROARC_DOC_REF_TYPE s+
        +     where not exists (select 1 from doc_ref_type t where t.doc_ref_type = s.doc_ref_type)+
I am using the following test script:
+Exec mypackage.proc_delete_rows;+
+Commit;+
+Select count(*) from DOC_REF_TYPES;+
+Exec mypackage.proc_add_new_rows;+
+Commit;+
+Select count(*) from DOC_REF_TYPES;+We have a Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit
I am using SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0
The test script is working as expected.
Count after delete =155
Count after insert = 511
but when I use another computer with SQL*Plus: Release 10.x
The Test script returns the following
Count after delete =155
Count after insert =155
The same is happening when I am running the scripts as a scheduled job.
QUESTION:
I believe I have found a fix for the problem though. By changing tmp_PROARC_DOC_REF_TYPE in the insert statement to all upper case, the script is running in both environments apparently. But how is this possible? I am executing a compiled package in the database. The session shell should have no impact on the behaveour of the procedure I am calling. What causes this?
Edited by: Reon on Jun 16, 2011 4:44 AM

1) I am using the same user (PANDORA)
2) (PANDORA) for both
3) I am actually not handling any errors. Just skipping any error altogether. I'll check to see what exceptions are raised, and come back.
I have also noticed that SQL/PLUS is not the culprit here. If I use SQLTools 1.5 to run the script, the same thing happens. So it has to do something with the connection or session environment that is inheritet to both clients.

DeepSure; call them from your own procedure. For example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE globaldb_ghd_rep AS
      PROCEDURE refresh_and_test (refgrp IN VARCHAR2);
      PROCEDURE update_user_details_test;
    END;
SHOW ERRORS
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY globaldb_ghd_rep AS
      PROCEDURE refresh_and_test (refgrp IN VARCHAR2)
      IS
      BEGIN
          DBMS_Refresh.refresh(refgrp);
             update_user_details_test;
      END refresh_and_test;
      PROCEDURE update_user_details_test
      IS

Create database table using Forms Developer 6/6i without using SQL*Plus

hello there,
I need help in creating tables in Oracle using Forms Developer 6/6i without using SQL*Plus interface.
your help is appreciated
email: [email protected]

please use Forms_ddl package to create a table dynamically
from the Developer6/6i.
you can check the success or failure by using the
form_success builtin.
if u want to avoid using the Forms_ddl package
use stored procedure or create a sql querry record group.
regards
sriram.
