Executing oracle commands in shell using shell variable

EOD_TYPE=`sqlplus -s scott/tiger@oracledb <<EOF
set head off
set feedback off
set pages 0
spool file1.dat
select to_char(sysdate,'monddyyyy') from dual;
spool off;
EOF`
a=$(head -1 file1.dat | cut -c1-9)
echo $a
EOD_TYPE1=`sqlplus -s scott/tiger@oracledb <<EOF1
spool file2
select * from $a ;
EOF1`
file2 contains "select * from mar132008 ;" instead of the data in the mar132008 table.
where is the problem.

I think the -s option might not work in your case.
Try to run this script with
sqlplus -s scott/tiger@oracledb @file1.dat
Also add SPOOL OFF and exit to the end of the second script.
btw: other useful set commands are
SET TRIM ON
SET TRIMSPOOL ON

Oracle 10g - can I use a variable to identifywhat user's tablesto access?

I have the following code in a trigger (PL/Sql block) of a form:
select fieldname into myvar from user1.sometable;
is there a way to use a variable instead of hard coding 'user1'? And on the same topic, could this variable be declared globally?
Thanks in advance,
Darren

Hi again!
i've forgot something!
You are able to switch to another schema. If you are another user than user1, try:
alter session set current_schema = user1;after this there is no need to use synonyms or tableowners in front of the tablename in your sql-statements.
May you use this in a when-new-form-instance trigger in your first form like:
forms_ddl ( 'alter session set current_schema = ' || :parameter.your_schema );Regards

You are right. I must be losing it. My failure rate lately has been abnormally high. I don't remember exactly how I searched before .. I thought I opened the Installation Guide an searched for 'silent' in "this document only" -- but all I came up with was references to dbca and emca ... nothing for OUI itself. Now that I go back and do the same search, there it is.

How to execute dos command in Java program?

In Perl, it has System(command) to call dos command.
Does java have this thing?
or any other way to execute dos command in java program?
Because i must call javacto compile a file when the user inputed a java file name.

Look in the Runtime class, it is implemented using the Singleton design pattern so you have to use the static method getRuntime to get its only instance, on that instance you can invoke methods like
exec(String command) that will execute that command in a dos shell.

Calling Oracle function and Procedure using OCCI with in C++ code

Could any body send me the sample code to create and execute Oracle function and Procedure using OCCI concept in C++?.
Edited by: 788634 on Aug 16, 2010 4:09 AM

Hi Vishnu,
Yes, sure, you can create a PL/SQL procedure, function, package, package body, etc. from within an OCCI application. I would say that, generally, this is not the sort of activity a typical client application would perform unless there is some initialization/installation processes that need to happen. In any case, here is a simple demo showing how to create a stand alone procedure (in a real application I would use a package and body) that returns a ref cursor. The ref cursor is just a simple select of two columns in the hr.countries sample table. Of course, there is no error handling, object orientation, etc. in this demo - I wanted to keep the code as short and as simple as possible to illustrate the concept.
Regards,
Mark

Execute dos commands through java

Hi,
Im trying to execute dos commands through java like
          try {
               java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c cls");
          }catch(IOException e){
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
          }Not sure if its possible? however
open notepad would work
          try {
               java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad");
          }catch(IOException e){
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
          }Im trying to execute a cls commands to clear screen but without luck.

The question is, which shell do you want to clear?
I don't really know, but it could be that Runtime.exec executes its command in a new shell window...

Advice executing oracle package using shell script.

Hi,
I am writing one shell script that accepts several parameters as an input. These parameters are then passed while executing Oracle package procedure. However this procedure has an OUT parameter and I am not aware of how to receive that parameter in shell script.
Any advice /suggestion is really appreciated.
Below is the part of code I am using ... (P_OUT is suppose to be an out parameter for package)
sqlplus -s apps/apps <<endsql
whenever sqlerror exit failure
set serveroutput on size 10000
execute TEST_PKG.GET_COC_REQ ('$P_FROM_DATE','$P_TO_DATE','$P_MONTH_YY', '$P_OUT');
endsql

There is more than one way. Here an example :

4 is
5 begin

How to invoke BASH shell and execute a command in that shell in Windows 98

Hello, I have a problem and if somebody will help me, I will be very glad. Thank you.
I am using BASH shell on Windows 98 OS by means of CYGWIN. And I want to invoke this BASH shell and execute a preprogrammed command in the shell (./scan fileName.txt) from a JAVA program. But so far, I am not sucessful. I can not read or write anything from / to BASH shell. It either blocks and freezes (When I use waitFor( ) ) or appears and disappears without executing scan command (When I do not use waitFor( ) ). My code is like this:
// This method is used for compiling a file.
// It invokes BASH shell and executes "./scan fileName.txt" command
public void compileFileMethod () {
try {
Process proc = ( Runtime.getRuntime() ).exec ("C:\\MyDocuments\\CYGWIN.BAT); //I also tried to add -c ./scan fileName.txt after .BAT );
// I also tried to write "C:\\MyDocuments\\BASH.EXE" but it did not help
OutputStream ostr = proc.getOutputStream();
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter ( new OutputStreamWriter (ostr) );
InputStream istr = proc.getInputStream();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader (istr) );
InputStream errorStr = proc.getErrorStream();
BufferedReader errorBr = new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader (errorStr) );
bw.write("scan case40.10.txt"); /* I am trying to input the scan command to the shell,but it is not working*/
bw.flush();
Vector list = new Vector (1) ;
String str;
while ( (str = br.readLine() ) != null) {
list.addElement(str);
} // End of while
Enumeration enumForList = list.elements();
while ( enumForList.hasMoreElements() ) {
String tempString;
tempString = ( String ) enumForList.nextElement();
System.out.println(tempString); // I am trying to read the outputs of the scan command but it is not reading (I can not see any output)
I tried with and without waitFor( ), it did not work
// wait for command to terminate
proc.waitFor();
// close streams
br.close();
bw.close();
errorBr.close();
} // End of try
catch ( IOException ioe ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Input / output error occured while compiling file ", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
} // End of catch
catch ( SecurityException se ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Security error occured while compiling file ", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
catch ( InterruptedException ie ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Interruption error occured while compiling file ", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
} // End of method compileFileMethod
// Thank you for your helps and time.

You cannot invoke BAT files directly, you have to invoke the program that run those files which is your Windows 98 shell. For example (under windows 2000), i would invoke "cmd.exe sricpt.bat some args", rather than "script.bar some args".
Hope this will help you out.

Printing PDF file Using Shell Command Line

Hello I am writing a program from MicroSoft Excel's Macro that will print PDF files. I have managed to get the program to work but I cannot prevent the file not being opened. Basically the PDF file would get printed but the file would automatically opened up.
I am using shell command line to write this. And this is my code:
FileName = "C:\EGB Gaming Lab\Training Manual\Testing Documents\Testing Checklists\Bill Validator*"
myShell.Run ("Acrobat.exe /t" & FileName)
I have tried using /h but it still opens the file.
I am referring to this support case:

How to use shell program parameters in java program??

Hai all,
I am writing a java program which must read strings from a file and must assign to variables.these strings are nothing but the output of ls -l command in shell. i need to have all those 9 fields in a file as variables.
I cant find any method that will read only string.I came accross read line but that is not what i need.So, i thought of writing a shell script and by using awk, storing those 9 fields in 9 variables.. but how to use that variables in java programming???
the shell script is executed by exec() but i need that variables also.
Help me please:(
thanks in advance

i now changed the code... and closed the output file and then i read.Later i splited with the line i read.. but the same happened...
this is the code:
while ((l = inputStream.readLine()) != null)
                    op=new FileOutputStream("op.txt");//output of exec goes to this file
                    String[] cmd= {"/bin/sh","-c","ls -l "+l};
                    rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
                    proc = rt.exec(cmd);
                    // any error message?
                      StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new
                      StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERR");
                    // any output?
                      StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "",op);
                    errorGobbler.start();
                           outputGobbler.start();
                    op.close();//the file is closed now
                    ip = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("op.txt"));     //now i opened to read
                    p=ip.readLine();
                    a=p.split("\\s");
