Executing a script from within an anonymous block

I'm trying to run two scripts inside an IF statement and no matter what I try I cannot seem to get them to execute.
I've tried;
@script
exec script
execute immediate '@script'
and some others and they don't seem to work.
What is the correct way to do this?

PL/SQL is executed by the PL/SQL engine in the Oracle server process that services your SQL*Plus session.
How is this Oracle server process (running on some server somewhere) suppose to hack into your platform to access the SQL scripts you have specified to execute?
A fundamental client-server concept. Client commands (such as SQL*Plus commands) cannot be run inside a server process. Nor can a server process (or server-side language like PL/SQL) access your disk drives, your printer, your monitor, read input from your mouse, keyboard, joystick, scanner etc.
Do not confuse client SQL*Plus commands with the server-side PL/SQL language.

Executing a perl script from within java application

Hi,
Does anyone knows a way to execute a perl script from within java.
---kirk

Runtime.exec("perl myscript.pl");
Of course whether that "works" depends on what the script does and where the java program runs.

Execute perl script from CPO

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to execute a perl script directly from CPO without using a cgi or soap action, If yes, is there any documentation or model workflows that I can refer to...

Its a prewritten script hosted in a linux box(svc cat server), first we tried to invoke it as a soap request...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
">
#username#
this worked but we want to discontinue this approach,
so we tried to host the script as cgi and invoke the cgi directly...
but this is not working, so wanted to see if we can execute the script from CPO either directly by using CLI or by hosting the script in a server

Yes. Using ProcessBuilder. And read [When Runtime.exec() wont|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html]. It's old, but pretty much all of it is still true.

Hi everyone..

Oh, bummer. Would be much more convenient if I could just use iTunes for everything. Can't stand WMP. I wonder if WinAmp might be a good compromise?
Thanks for this answer . . .

you don't have to use execute when you want to execute a procedure (only on sql*plus, you would use it)
just give the name of the funtion
create or replace procedure test
as
begin
    dbms_output.put_line('this is the procedure test');
end test;
create or replace procedure call_test
as
begin
    dbms_output.put_line('this is the procedure call_test going to execute the procedure test');
    test;
end call_test;
begin
    dbms_output.put_line('this is an anonymous block calling the procedure call_test');
    call_test;
end;

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.

Executing Unix scripts from a stored procedure

From the sql*plus windows, I am able to execute the host command and '!sh' commands; but I need to ececute Unix scripts from a stored procedure. Hoe can I do this? Where can I get good documentation on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks..

Hi,

One sql command is there HOST(' '). U can run a OS command. But u can not use it in PL/SQL.
U can call pls sql from shell !!!!!..

Executing OS command from within PL/SQL...

Hi
I would like to know if you can issue operating system command
from within a PL/SQL block on Oracle Database(not developer
2k) .Is there any built in package for the same ? Like a similar
command is available in forms i.e HOST .
Can anyone help please ?
Thank You

The only documentation I have seen uses dbms_pipe which
communicates with a host 3gl program, usually C, which in turn
issues a call to the c function system(). You could also mimic
these same actions without using dbms_pipe by using a extproc
program linked to the database if you are running db version 8.0
or above. See the pl/sql procedure manual for dbms_pipe examples.

Calling a SQL script from the PL/SQL block.

Hello All,
I am using oracle 11g database.
My requirment is as follows. I have a SQL script to alter the table. But before alter the table I need to test some condition , if the condition satisfy then I have to alter the table through the SQL script. For the checking the condition I have to use the plsql block and inside I need to call the SQL script.
Can I call a SQL script from PL/SQL block, if yes then how?
I am tring to use START, RUN and @ command but it is throughing error.
Thanks

[PL/SQL manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/functions55a.htm#77600] Ctrl-F start, finds nothing. [SQLPlus manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm] Ctrl-F start finds this. Isn't it wonderful that Oracle documents this stuff so we don't have to guess.
Can I call a SQL script from PL/SQL block, if yes then how? No.
You could call the stored procedure in a SQL*Plus script before the alter table and have it raise an exception if the condition is not met and have the script quit when there is an error.
