Execute create trigger script in a procedure

Is it possible to create a trigger with pl/sql?
I have made a procedure thats makes the create or replace trigger statement.
(when i copy and past the statement the trigger is created succesvol)
How can i execute the create trigger statement on the end of the procedure?
Thanks.

Well, then proceed with dynamic SQL.
Or, in my opinion much better: produce a SQL script with variables for table name and trigger name.
Then run this script with the appropriate values every time you have created a table.

Guido

Privilege error while running Create Table Script inside Stored Procedure.

Hello All,
I have Oracle 10G server and SQL Developer Client,
I have One User with Appropriate Rights, Login with that user from SQL Developer(client),
Within my Procedure, Dynamic SQL script is like If I pass in a TABLE NAME as parameter, It Creates that table, but now problem is It throws an error for Privilege.
Where as if I Execute Create table script outside the procedure(as Normal SQL), it executes Ok, but why it throws Privilege error within procedure ?
Whether any extra Rights needed for this user to execute such Create Table Dynamic SQL?
Please Help.
Thanks,

Executing create or replace procedure statement from plsql script

Hi ,
I want to execute create or replace procedure from pl/sql block without using execute immediate or dbms_sql, please let me know if feasible.
Eg:
declare
begin
create or replace procedure .....
if v_temp = 4 then
end if;
end;
Thanks for help.

Actual requirement is I have .sql file which has Create procedure command in it

insert into tablexyz.....

Won't work. The PL/SQL code block (also called an anonymous block) is shipped from the client (e.g. SQL*Plus) to the database server. There it is parsed and executed.
It cannot execute SQL*Plus code.
There are 2 basic approaches to address this requirement.
Method 1. Use PL/SQL and SQL to perform the conditional logic checks that SQL*Plus cannot. Use bind variables to "copy" the results between SQL*Plus and PL/SQL, use substitution variables to execute the conditional branch (as a script) in SQL*Plus.
Basic example:
SQL> --// bind variable for passing data to PL/SQL code and
SQL> --// to receive data from PL/SQL code
SQL> var status varchar2(100)
SQL>
SQL> declare
2          function ExistsTable( tableName varchar2 ) return boolean is

SQL> Method 2. Move all "client scripting" to the server. You can still use .sql files. These need to contain valid DDL that can be parsed and executed. On the server, the .sql files are loaded into a table.
This can be a physical load (e.g. using <i>DBMS_LOB.LoadFromFile()</i>). Or you can keep the .sql files on the server and use BFILE pointers instead to the files.
You can now use execute immediate to execute the contents of a .sql file as a CLOB that was read from the table containing the .sql scripts.
To be honest - I have used both methods extensively in the past and no longer bother using either. Table exists when running the table create script? So what. If the table should not exist, use server exceptions in SQL*Plus to cease processing and exit. If it does not matter whether the table exists or not, why be concern with running the script to create the table if the table already exists?

File Ownership while executing sql script from stored procedure

We have a test_command.sql script which is spooling the result into a file. From database we have one Store Procedure(run_sql) which is
calling and executing the .sql script.
When we are calling the sql script directly from the database, i e SQL > @/dccops/test_command.sql it is creating the
file under the Ownership of OS user which is connected to the system.
The problem we are facing is when we are executing the stored procedure i e exec run_sql(), the file is creating under
Oracle User.
Could u please suggest me a solution inorder to create the output file under the user who is logged to the OS.

First of all, your usage of IM speak is NOT appreciated. Please do not address anyone as if they were a 12-year old.
'Our Applcation is in C. So we have to call the procedure to run the sql script.'
This is just utter nonsense!
Oracle has Pro*C which allows Embedded SQL in C. There is also OCI (Oracle Call Interface) to call Oracle directly in C, and there is OCCI, to do the same in C++.
Apart from that, Oracle has Ole DB for Windows platforms, to allow for a .NET compatible interface to Oracle.
There is NO NEED AT ALL to call PL/SQL to run a SQL script.

Run the below Powershell Script for users are exist or not in AD. Later you can create the users.
#Find Users exist in AD or Not?
#Biswajit Biswas
$users = get-content c:\users.txt
foreach ($user in $users) {
$User = Get-ADUser -Filter {(samaccountname -eq $user)}
If ($user -eq $Null) {"User does not exist in AD ($user)" }
Else {"User found in AD ($user)"}

Script to create trigger

I want to create a trigger on all dba_tables.
I want to do a select in a trigger but i don't know how to do.
Here are my trigger and my select
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER SIGTASAD.TRG_dba_tables_BEF_INSUPD
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON dba_tables
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
v_ird_employee_no IRD_EMPLOYEE.ird_employee_no%TYPE;
BEGIN
v_ird_employee_no := PCK_UTIL.get_ird_employee_no( USER );
IF INSERTING THEN
:NEW.enter_user := v_ird_employee_no;
:NEW.enter_date := SYSDATE;
ELSIF UPDATING THEN
:NEW.update_user := v_ird_employee_no;
:NEW.update_date := SYSDATE;
END IF;
END;
Select *
from dba_tables
where owner = 'SIGTASAD'
order by table_name;
Thanks

Ok
Before I was a system administartor, but our dba was off, and now i assume this function before.
So
we have a new data base
and i created a script to add column in dba_tables.
And here is this script:
select 'ALTER TABLE ',substr(table_name,1,40),' add(enter_user number(6)
,update_user number(6)
,enter_date date
,update_date date); '
from dba_tables
where owner = 'SIGTASAD'
order by table_name;
And i use a script (give me by some one) to create a trigger in main table but one by one; and here is this script:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER SIGTASAD.TRG_payment_loc_BEF_INSUPD BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON payment_loc
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
v_ird_employee_no IRD_EMPLOYEE.ird_employee_no%TYPE;
BEGIN
v_ird_employee_no := PCK_UTIL.get_ird_employee_no( USER );
IF INSERTING THEN
:NEW.enter_user := v_ird_employee_no;
:NEW.enter_date := SYSDATE;
ELSIF UPDATING THEN
:NEW.update_user := v_ird_employee_no;
:NEW.update_date := SYSDATE;
END IF;
END;
Now after column in all tables of dba_tables, i want to create trigger in all tables of dba_tables.
But i don't how tio do it, i think i explained more now.
thanks

Execute a shell script from inside PL procedure

Oracle 9205 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
Is there any way to execute an O.S. shell script from inside a PL/SQL procedure?
This is, that PL_SQL procedure evaluate a situation and if the condition is true, it calls and execute an O.S. shell script.

PL/SQL procedures do not support any native calls to the OS; however, you can code calls to external procedures or JAVA procedures to perform tasks on the OS.
Prior to these two methods any of the following packages dbms_alert, dbms_pipe, or utl_file could be combined with a daemon type program to issue OS commands, run shell scripts, etc....
There is a writeup on metalink with examples.

How to create an executable File (Linux-Script) in Java

Hello,
I'm creating a script file in my Java Application.
This script should be executed by hand on my linux system. Therefor the execute flag must be set. But how can I set this flag without executing the "chmod"-command?
Is there any possiblility to do this?
Thanks,
Armin

I don't think there is. But you can use Runtime.exec() to execute a chmod command.

Problems with executing shell script within oracle procedure

I have procedure that's owned by Semantic user. This procedure calls job scheduler (owned by USER1) which in turn executes a shell script load_semantic.sh (owned by USER1).
Now, there is a shell script(checkCount.sh)inside of this one (owned by this USER1) that has following contents:
checkCount.sh
#!/bin/bash
MODEL=$1
sqlplus -S user/pass << EOF
whenever sqlerror exit 1;
set echo on
set verify off
MERGE INTO SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS s
USING (SELECT '$MODEL' AS MODEL, 0 AS NEW_COUNT, SYSDATE AS NEW_DATE, 0 AS OLD_COUNT, SYSDATE AS OLD_DATE FROM dual) t
on (s.MODEL = t.MODEL)
when not matched then
INSERT (s.MODEL, s.NEW_COUNT, s.NEW_DATE, s.OLD_COUNT, s.OLD_DATE)
VALUES (t.MODEL, t.NEW_COUNT, t.NEW_DATE, t.OLD_COUNT, t.OLD_DATE);
COMMIT;
UPDATE SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS SET MODEL = '$MODEL', NEW_COUNT = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE(SEM_MATCH('{?s ?p ?o}',SEM_Models('$MODEL'),NULL,SEM_ALIASES(SEM_ALIAS('','http://VISION/DataSource/SEMANTIC#')),NULL)) ),NEW_DATE = SYSDATE,
OLD_COUNT = NEW_COUNT, OLD_DATE = NEW_DATE WHERE MODEL = '$MODEL' AND NEW_DATE = (select max(NEW_DATE) from SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS where MODEL = '$MODEL');
COMMIT;
exit;
EOF
So when I execute SEMANTIC.PROCEDURE:
SEMANTIC.PROCEDURE => USER1.JOBSCHEDULER =>USER1.load_semantic.sh =>USER1.checkCount.sh
It never populates the table SEMANTIC.COUNT_STATISTICS.
I tried giving all of the permissions but I am probably missing something...
Maybe fresh eyes can see something that I can't.

I can't believe I am going to say this but the reason it was not working was because I removed oracle environment path from my script by mistake.
. /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
Ugh...
Now it is working perfectly.
Btw, sqlplus does know about shell environment variables.
THANK YOU GUYS!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ONLY HAVE YOU TO TALK TO WHEN I AM STUCK ON A PROBLEM.

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.

Calling sql script in plsql procedure

Hello,
I have a sql script named mytest.sql and i want to execute this from a stored procedure.
following is the contents of this script
spool d:\mytestsql.txt
select * from tab;
spool off
Actually i want my sql script to run daily to export some tables data.
I can execute this script from a sql prompt but i want to run it from enterprise manager.
I am using oracle 10gR2 on windows2000 system.
Any idea about scheduling the sql script to run automatically??
How to execute this sql script from a plsql procedure??
Thanks

Hi all,
Thanks for all the replies. I have found the solution with external procedures.
Following is the complete step by step guide.
1. Create the OSCommand Java Class using the following statement:
connect as any user:
create or replace and compile java source named oscommand as
import java.io.*;
public class OSCommand{
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
return("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
2. Create the following Wrapper Function using the following statement:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(Command IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return int';
3. connect as sys
Execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>','execute');
execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '*' );
execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '*' );
commit;
note: here fkhalid is the oracle user.
connect as fkhalid user:
Declare
expdp_cmd Varchar2(2000);
Begin
expdp_cmd := OSCommand_Run('cmd /c sqlplus fkhalid@mtcedwt/pwd @d:\ORA_DUMPS\mydbexp.sql');
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(expdp_cmd);
End;
In Unix
Set Serverout On
Declare
x Varchar2(2000);
Begin
x := OSCommand_Run('/home/test/myoscommand.sh')
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(x);
End;
I will check the dbms_scheduler also and will let you know the results.
Thanks
