Execute wrapped .plb file using JDBC

Question

We have a wrapped PL/SQL stired procedure that we would like to execute through our application that uses JDBC to connect to our repository database which resides on Oracle 9.2.
Using JDBC, we can issue statements like:
create or replace procedure my_proc(
var1 in varchar2,
var2 out varchar2) as ......
What we really need is the equivalent of Sql*Plus, where using Sql*Plus we could do the following:
SQL >@<file_location><script_file.plb>
where script_file.plb is a wrapped PL/SQL create or replace script.
Is there any way possible that this can be done ? If so please email this documenation or a link to it to me: [email protected]
Thanks.

Answer 1

Ferenc,
Read the file contents into a "String" and then invoke the "executeUpdate()" method (of "java.sql.Statement") using the "String".
Alternatively, use the "exec()" method (of "java.lang.Runtime") to execute "SQL*Plus", for example:
String[] cmd = new String[]{"path_to/sqlplus","@file"};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);Note that above code is from memory only. Please verify using "javadoc" documentation.
Good Luck,
Avi.
