EXECUTE sql file in an procedure,just like sql prompt.

Hi,
I am using ORACLE 11g on an AIX box.
Just to explain first :- Assume we have an .sql file in which i have 20 DML statements. Like 10 inserts,5 updates and 5 deletes. Now if i want to run this file in any particular DB , the best thing for one file i can do is .. simply go to the prompt i.e. SQL> on that DB and run that file :-
SQL>@/oracle/scripts/metadata_update.sql
just this will execute the whole file. Also here i can spool and keep the log of execution.
Now i want the same functionality but this time their are many files and and i have to run them on different DB's.
Can anyone suggest me some code in which if i pass the filename and the DB's name .. it should execute in that DB and create a log file in the same directory as the sql file.
Something like procedure, which will take file name and DB name as parameter
and then we will read file using UTL_FILE
and then go to the destination DB with the help of TNSENTRIES we have.
execute it and store the log for the same.
Please suggest some sample code or ideas.
thanks in advance.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems are viewed as nails.
While a hammer is a GREAT tool, it is suboptimal to divide 1 board into 2 pieces
sqlplus user/pass@remote1 @new_script.sql
sqlplus user/pass@remote2 @new_script.sql

How to execute .sql file in Stored Procedure?

Hi,
I have an urgent requirement, where i have to execute .sql file form Stored Procedure.
This .sql file will have set of update statement. I need to pass value to this update statement.
Kindly please help me.
Regards,
Irfan

This is required as part of Data Migration where i have to do 100 of table's update. Each time update table will defer, so its better to have in separate script file (.sql). Can u paste some sample/syntax to exceute .sql file from stored procedure. I am new to this PL/SQL.
How have you determined that it's "better" to have seperate scripts? I assume you mean the table name will "differ" (and not "defer" - I assume that's just because English isn't your first language? no problem - I think I understand what you're asking).
So what I think you're asking is that you have dynamic table names but each table needs to be updated in the same way?
Question: Why do you have tables with different names that all need the same process doing to them?
Assuming it's a valid requirement (and 99% of the time doing dynamic coding implies it's not).... you could use dynamic code, rather than 'scripts'...
e.g.
create procedure update_table(tbl_name varchar2) is
begin
execute immediate 'update '||tbl_name||' set lastupdate = null';
end;
As you haven't bothered to provide a database version, any example code/data or explanation of what you're actually doing, you're not going to get any detailed answer. Please do take the time to read the FAQ and post appropriate details so people can help you.

How do I create video files in M4V format just like iTunes video clips?

Hello everyone,
I have bought many video clips from iTunes which I like to play when I have invited guests.
Now, as you know, some video clips are not available on iTunes. I do have some music DVDs though and would like to add some video clips from the DVDs to my iTunes library. I converted them to the M4V format. However, the format still seems to be different from the format that iTunes uses for its music video clips. Because when I add a video bought from the iTunes store AND one of my own videos in a playlist, iTunes tells me that it is not usual to mix videos and music in the same playlist.
Does anyone have a suggestion how I can create the same format for the videos I get from my DVDs, so that I can mix them in the same playlist together?
Thanks for your help!

Umm... has anyone pondered a situation for a days if not weeks on end before mustering up the courage to ask for help and then found the solution minutes after asking? Yeah, this is one of those occasions. Weird.
In my defense, the user interface seems a bit obtuse. When you click "Playlists" and then "Create Playlist" at the bottom of the screen you then must click "Dates, "Folders", or "All Videos" to search for videos. The "obtusity" is that it didn't seem intuitive to me that I then had to search in those other headings after I selected to create a playlist. I assumed that the "Create a Playlist" window that then popped up would include all videos in the watched folders. When you see a video you will find that there is a green circle with a plus sign on the upper right corner. Clicking that will add it to the playlist that you are creating. When you're satisfied with the playlist, give it a name and then save it.

Dynamically calling a .SQL file

hi,
How to execute a procedure which is calling another sql file where the name of the SQL file am getting dynamically.
strtoexec := 'begin '||'@'''||fullfilepath||'''; end; ';
execute immediate strtoexec.
plz advice.

Bluntly put. What are you are attempting to design and code is wrong. Period.
Two primary reaons.
1. One DOES NOT call SQL script files from PL/SQL (even it this was as easy as you seem to think).
SQL code and PL/SQL code must reside INSIDE Oracle. Not outside.
2. Your .SQL files will contain 1000's (if not more) non-sharable SQL statements.
What does non-sharable SQL do?
- fragments the shared pool, leading to memory allocation (malloc) errors
- significantly impact on performance
According to world renown experts like Tom Kyte (see http://asktom.oracle.com) non-sharable SQL is the #1 reason for poor Oracle performance.
I have a test case where I showed our developers that running a 100,000 SQL SELECT statements using non-sharable SQL versus sharable SQL (bind variables) results in:
100,000 exec's of a single row select not using bind variables = 24 minutes elapsed time
100,000 exec's of a single row select using bind variables = 8 seconds
The same SQL statement. Only difference - is it sharable (using bind vars) or not?
So reconsider your design. It is flawed. It can result in Oracle memory errors. It is slow. It cannot scale.
There's no place in Oracle for hacking stuff. Not if you expect performance, scalability, robustness, data integrity, concurrency, and all that good stuff that Oracle does so well.

Compare SQL file tables as a file content VS Documentum or Alfresco

Hello - Documentum & Alfresco are 2 examples of Document Content Management (file repository, workflows, notifications, etc), I am interesting in the file content management where system provides file repository and some extra features like check in
/ check out and versioning. Does anyone have tried to replace a file repository with SQL file tables?

You can use SQL Filetables for storing files as well as doing modifcations etc. for getting versioning you can enable change management or implement audit triggers in them.
Here are some helpful links

http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2013/09/implementing-transaction-over-file.html
Check in checkout will not be available by default. You may need to implement it using some flags. My question is why cant you go for a versioncontrol software then like TFS? why reinvent the wheel?

How to execute a script(.sql) file from a PL\SQL procedure

I would like to know how to execute a .sql file from a stored procedure and the result of it should update a table. My .sql file contains select statements.

Hi!
just go through the following piece of code -
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 declare
2    str varchar2(200);
3 begin
4    str := '@C:\RND\Oracle\Misc\b.sql';
5    execute immediate(str);
6* end;
SQL> /
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
ORA-06512: at line 5ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
Cause: The statement is not recognized as a valid SQL statement. This error can occur if the Procedural Option is not installed and a SQL statement is issued that requires this option (for example, a CREATE PROCEDURE statement). You can determine if the Procedural Option is installed by starting SQL*Plus. If the PL/SQL banner is not displayed, then the option is not installed.
Action: Correct the syntax or install the Procedural Option.
Regards.

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.

do you have any idea about how to call sql files in pl sql then ?No you can't call an sql*plus file in Pl/sql.
What you can do in SQl*plus is someting like this:
untested

WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT ROLLBACK
spool logscripts.log

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.

Oracle SQL Developer error - "The file-based source procedure Name is not present in the database."

I recently started working on the Oracle SQL developer. I have 'select' privileges on the QA schema and when tried to execute proc in QA. It is giving the error as 'The file-based source <procedure Name> is not present in the database. Was it compiled?'
instead 'you do not have sufficient privileges to execute this procedure'. Did research on internet but with no luck.What configuration changes needed to be done to make it work.Guide me.

Sounds like you do not have the correct privileges. What should have been granted to you by the QA user, or some other user with appropriate privileges, is...
grant EXECUTE on "QA"."<PROCEDURE_OF_INTEREST>" to "<YOUR_USERID>" ;
Note that a grant of execute on a procedure has nothing to do with grants of select on some or all of QA's tables and views.
So, as Vadim suggests, from your connection node in SQL Developer's Connections view, if you expand the Other Users node, then expand QA and look in the Procedures node, do you see the procedure of interest? If not, you cannot expect to be able to execute it from your userid's connection. And even if you do see it, you may have some other privilege that permits viewing but not executing, like...
The role SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE
The system privilege SELECT ANY DICTIONARY
And even if you do not see it there, then having certain other privileges granted to you could permit executing it in general, like...
The role EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
The system privilege EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
Also, note that the 3.0 release is a bit dated nowadays. Upgrading to 4.0.3 production or even the 4.1 EA2 (early adopter) release will, in general, give you a better experience.
Best wishes,
Gary
