Execute SQL dynamically from pdf?

Hi,
We'd like to fill some fields in the form dynamically, sometimes based on user input from previous field(s). With enough user input, we'd like construct, execute SQL dynamically and interpret the result and update relavent field on the pdf form.
How do I access Oracle 9i database directly in the form? I know we can run server side scripting in presubmit event.
I've written a custom QPAC to access database and return multiple rows in Workflow Server. But there inside Form Designer 7.1, it doesn't allow me to
put in java code... Or, we have to use webservice to achieve the result?
Please advise.
Thanks!

P.S. We have Forms and Workflow 7.2.

Strange, whenever I have installed forms I got sqlplus too without asking for it. If it is not installed, wouldn't your best bet be to install it ?

How could I extract past executed SQL statement from dictionary ?

We use oracle11gR2 on win2008R2.
How could I extract the past executed SQL statement from dictionary ? (Is it possible from V$SQLTEXT or other dictionary table ?)

Hi,
You can find executed SQL in V$SQLAREA view (if it's still in memory). If it does'n't exist and you have AWR enabled you can query DBA_HIST_SQLTEXT table, but remember that the statistic information in AWR tables is filtered (1 out of 10).
I.Arsov
As you know when taking snapshot oracle will capture only top sql statements and stored in AWR.
But can you please link(source) dba_hist_sqltext contain only 1 out of 10 filtered data?. In dba_hist_active_sess_history yes it contain 1 out of 10 sampled data.

How to execute sql scripts from Powershell across multiple databases

Re: How to execute sql scripts from Powershell across multiple databases
I have an tsql script that I want to run across a list of databases. How is the best way to do this in Powershell? Thanks.

My example below, using just the SMO and not breaking up the batches, the ExecuteWithResults give the following error when the .sql file contains a GO. My script files are as simple as a DECLARE and then a GO.

Executing sql scripts from url

A nice feature of isqlplus was that we could execute a sql script stored on a
server from a browser on a client, using dynamic. Is ther any comparable
facility in APEX for executing a sql script from a browser?

Hi!
Here are some other threads to look at. Make sure to also look at the blog at the bottom of the 2nd thread. In the forum search set the date range to "all" and search on "run_cmd". You might have to look thru a few pages but there are several threads.

Execute .sql scripts from a remote login

Hello,
1) How do I execute a remote sql script from sqlplus?
SQL>@remote_server:$HOME/test_sql.sql ...this did not work, which would work?
2) Another question, in sqlplus I can do...! echo testing123>$HOME/test123.txt.
How do I do this within a store procedure?
This does not work, which would work?
declare
v_test varchar2(300) := '! echo testing123>$HOME/test123.txt';
begin
execute immediate v_test;
end;
/

Re Q2.
I take it that's an sqlplus feature on unix as it doesn't work on windows:
SQL> ! echo testing123>$HOME/test123.txt
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "! echo tes..." - rest of line ignored.
SQL>Also the reason this isn't working from within PL/SQL is that the execute immediate statement is used to send SQL statements to the SQL engine. What you are attempting to do is to send sqlplus commands to the SQL engine which obviously knows nothing about sqlplus commands. Those commands are very specific to the sqlplus executable and will only work in that environment.

Execute sql file from forms

Hello, how is it possible to execute a sql file from forms without using sqlplus, because we have only the forms runtime on our pc.
We can't use forms_ddl because we have a very big sql script for creating a package.

Executing sql script from file, with multiple queries

Hello,
I am trying to load an SQL script from a file, parse the script into separate SQL statements, and execute each of them. The final statement will always be a query, and thus will return a result.
Three problems arise:
1. I don't know what TYPE of statement each one is (i.e. whether it is an UPDATE or a QUERY), which seems to be required in order to execute it in java (via executeQuery and executeUpdate).
2. I am not sure of the best way to execute a series of statements (the Statement object has some "batch" functionality, but I'm not sure if there is a better way, or even of the proper way to use this).
3. I need to be able to make sure the final statement is a QUERY, and thus will return a ResultSet. Otherwise I need to be able to throw an exception.
This has been causing me a lot of trouble. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Have you got any solution for your mentioned problem????
I am facing almost the same kind of problem like I have some sql files containg simple sql statements as well as code for writting Procs , triggeres, index...functions..and so on. I need to execute this XYZ.sql file from Java side.
Can you guide me about my problem?????
Thanks in advance.............

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.

Execute sql script from apex

hi all
i have dir /usr/tmp which there i have script in sql that creats a report
in the command line i'm running the script like this :
sqlplus user/passwd@db @name_of_script
my goal is to run this script thru the apex
i tried to create some process
before header like this
:p116 := sqlplus user/passwd@db @/usr/tmp/name_of_script ;
doesn't work!!
i even try to put this action in table but then i don't know how to run this ?
can it executed in apex ? if yes then how ?
thanks a lot

I checked the link and it did not work, so I am reposting my original reply below.
had a requirement to run a Fortran program against some data that woudl be extracted from the database after the user set up their filtering criteria and made some additional input. SInce the program was to complex to conver to PL/SQL, we decided to try and invoke it from Apex. This is how I did it.
1. I followed the steps in Tim Archer's excellent article "Oracle External Procedure to Run Host Commands" (http://www.timarcher.com/?q=node/9). If the link does nto work, google the article's title.
Using this steps I created a function which accepts any OS command, including calling my own shell scripts, and runs them. I called my PL/SQL function "shell" instead of "USF_RUN_HOST_CMD " as Tim did in his example (step 9).
2. In Apex,
a. I created a button to run my shell command. (I named it P2_RUN_SHELL)
b. I created a PL/SQL process whose source looks as follows:
shell('/home/ackness/scripts/cr_xcf_file.sh > /tmp/cr_scfp_file.log');
and which was conditioned on the the button P2_RUN_SHELL.
It works like a charm.
Note: since you can run your own scripts using this method, you can encapsulate a series of commands in a UNIX shell script and invoke that script from Apex. This allows you to be able to test or run you commands from the command line as well as Apex and makes it easier to develop/debug/enhance the scripts in the future.

Want to execute SQL Queries from Textfile

I have a text file full of a bunch of sql queries, of the format:
select something1, something2
from someplace
select something3, something4
from someplace2
select something5, something6
from someplace3
I want to execute these queries one at a time and then after each one executes, I will do something with the resultset. Question is, how do I pull each query from the text file one at a time and execute? I was doing this by using java.util.Scanner and java.lang.StringBuilder where I would scan one line at a time and then check to see if the line is empty, otherwise I append the line to the StringBuilder. If the line is empty, I process whatever is stored in the StringBuilder. The problem with doing this is that it does not preserve the newline from the text file, so I get queries that look like:
"select something5, something6from someplace3"
which of course are invalid. Does anyone know a better way to build SQL queries / statements from a text file? How do I get the newline or carriage return character?

Just replace newline by space?

How to execute sql script from linux command line

Hello everyone !
Just short question. On my server I must install script in crontab which will eexecute some sql statements.
How can I write command which will execute script from file without asking about password ?
sqlplus user/pass ... and then what ?
thanks

On newer cron versions, you can add an environment to the crontab file itself that needs to be set before executing the scheduled command.
Whatever method - make sure you have ORACLE_HOME set, that the path includes ORACLE_HOME/bin, that ORACLE_SID is set (if not using a TNS alias) and so on.
But I agree with Sybrand... crontab is not the best place for running SQL or PL/SQL code. That should reside in the database as named code (e.g. stored procs) and be executed via DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULE.
Less moving parts that way. No external dependancies. And will work on any Oracle server, irrespective of the o/s used and whether or not the relevant o/s user has batch/cron/etc privs to do the deed.
