How to call SQL Script in DBMS_SCHEDULER

How to call SQL Scripts in DBMS_SCHEDULER?
Things I got working
1) Successfully created and tested a PL/SQL that was created under SQL Workshop->SQL Scripts (I named it 'TEST'). I was able to run this no problem.
2) Successfully created a DBMS_SCHEDULER that runs every minutes. (See below)
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
    job_name => 'myjob',
    job_type => 'plsql_block',
    job_action => 'null;',
    start_date => '19-JUL-11 03.10.00 PM', /* Remember to use the DB time, not your local time if not specifying a timezone */
    repeat_interval => 'freq=minutely',
    enabled => true);
end;The problem i am having is to make the PL/SQL script (named 'TEST') runs every minute. Its probably very easy to do that but i dont seems like finding any examples online.
I tried replacing the job_action attribute to " job_action => 'begin TEST; END;', " However, that did not work.
I am stuck here for couple hours already, any clues would be great :)
Thanks in advance

The PL/SQL is pretty long, I would like to call it from a different location rather then putting the whole coding as part of the argument. Sounds like I should be looking into procedure package in database?
I will do some more research on procedure package, how to create one and how to call from it.
Thanks

How to call SQL script from PL/SQL block

Hi All,
I have a pl/sql block from which i need to call a *.sql script file.
Please tell me that how can i do this?
Thanks and Regards.

> Though just for knowledge sake, would you please tell if there is a way
to call a sql script from a pl/sql block.
This question stems usually from a confusion about client-server and which is which in Oracle.
SQL*Plus is a client. PL/SQL is a server side language. SQL is a server side language.
When entering either one of these two languages in SQL*Plus (or TOAD, SQL-Developer, etc), the content is shipped to an Oracle server process, is parsed there, and is executed there.
The Oracle server process servicing the client can accept a single SQL statement or PL/SQL block at a time.
It cannot accept a block of SQL statements delimited with a semicolon. That is a client concept where the client will read each delimited statement and send that, one after the other (in synchronous call mode) to the Oracle server for execution.
The Oracle server does not have a "script parser". It understands SQL. It understands PL/SQL. And that is what it expects from the client.
Whether the client supports the SET command, the HOST command, SPOOL command, ability to run scripts, and so... have no bearing on what the server itself is capable of doing. The server does not care what feature set the client has. It is tasked with servicing the client via SQL and PL/SQL.
It is not tasked to support or emulate client features like running SQL scripts.
Nor confuse PL/SQL with the very limited command set of SQL*Plus. The two has nothing in common. And just as PL/SQL cannot understand C# or Delphi commands, it cannot understand SQL*Plus commands.

Scheduling an sql script using dbms_scheduler

Hi Experts,
I am having an oracle 10g database on windows platform. I have an sql script which has a normal set of sql statements (insertion and updation).
I would like to schedule to run this sql script using dbms_scheduler but I've gone through certain sites and came to know that it's not possible to schedule an sql script using dbms_scheduler. Please let me know how I can schedule this script using dbms_scheduler.

It is possible - in 10g and above you can use DBMS_SCHEDULER to call an external procedure, which in this case could be a call to your SQL file.
Get's a bit more complicated with older versions, but still doable.
But - unless there is a really good reason why you cannot do so, move this into a PL/SQL procedure as suggested.

How to validate SQL scripts

Hi,
How to Validate SQL scripts?
I am having set of sql files i wish to run one by one if there is any error at one file i need to notify to the user.I have created Bat file in-order to execute in a sequence.how to validate in bat file
say
01.sql ---Sucess
02.sql --- Fail -- intimate and not to execute rest of sql files
03.sql

dbname.bat
dbname.sqlSo i need to validate each and every .sql whether it succeed or not. if there is failure then needs to notify the user. Use the SQL*Plus macro/command, WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT <n>, to terminate a sql script when it hits an error - and have it return a specific exit code to the caller (o/s command line in this case). Note that exit codes are typically defined as a single byte in shells - which means it can only returns 0 to 255.
In the command line shell, check the exit code of the previous command - which would be command than ran sqlplus and the sql script. If the exit code is for example 255, then you know the WHENEVER SQLERROR command was executed. And then you cease processing sql scripts.
Simplistically (I do not do Windows), it will look as follows:
--// sql script
whenever sqlerror exit 255
... rest of the script
@echo off
rem command shell script
prompt executing script 1
sqlplus -s /nolog @sqlscript1.sql
if ERRORLEVEL 255 goto :ScriptFailed
prompt executing script 2
sqlplus -s /nolog @sqlscript2.sql
if ERRORLEVEL 255 goto :ScriptFailed
goto :Success
:ScriptFailed
echo ...
goto :End
:Sucess

How to call a script in OWB?

I have some scripts in .sql form. I want to call/execute these script using owb10gr2.
Any pointers as to how can I call/execute these scripts in OWB ?
Thanks

Hi,
there are several variants for execution SQL-scripts in OWB:
1) compile your scripts as stored procedure and import definitions into OWB - after that you can call this procedure in mapping (with Pre/Post-mapping operator) or in processflow;
2) in porcessflow you can use User Defined Activity for calling SQL-scripts

Shell script to call sql script

Hi All,
I have a application server and want to make a shell script to call sql script.
Please let me know how to do the same.
Regards
Kumar

What is the platform you are using and you can give the path of the sql script in your shell script as follows
1.)first create .sql file...let it is table.sql and has the contents ...
create table test(x1 varchar2(20),x2 number(4),x3 date)
exit;
(2.) write a shell script...like table.sh in vi editor
Here login is scott/tiger@sid, or apps/apps@sid or whatever you know valid schema
echo enter the login
read login
sqlplus -s $login @table
(3.)run the script
$ sh table.sh
it will create the table in your particular schema

How to call unix script/command in ODI

Hello Gurus,
Please let me know how to call unix script/command in ODI?
Thanks
Shridhar

you can call shell script using the OS command found in Package.
Step 1. Drag the OS Command in the Packgae
Step 2. In the Text mentiond call the script say for ex sh /opt/path/script.sh
Step 3. Execute.
Note : Make sure the User through which ODI is triggering does have the required permission to execute shellscript , also always provide the full path , since scripts are execute from the oracldi/bin folder so its necessary to provide the complete path of the script location.
Hope this helps.

Hi Bala
You can not call any client side funcitons using Web Dynpro ABAP, it is possible in BSP using JavaScript.
You can use Suspend and Resume Plugs to navigate to a BSP page and perform the shell script and return to WDA using Resume Plug.

How to execute sql scripts from Powershell across multiple databases

Issue with calling Shell Script using DBMS_SCHEDULER

Hi All,
I am executing a shell script using DBMS_SCHEDULER from APEX web page. Execution part is working fine without any issues.
In my shell script file (abc.sh) I have few oracle sql procedure calls which connects back to same database and that SQL call is not executing some reason, it not giving any errors.
Inside my shell script code looks like this.
sqlplus -silent $USER/$PASSCODE@$SCONNECT > /dev/null <<END
set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off serveroutput on
echo off linesize 1000
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT 9
BEGIN
dbms_output.enable(1000000);
do_enable_cons();
dbms_output.disable;
END;
spool off;
exit;
END
When I run this shell script file from backend it works fine now issues.
Is there any restrictions in executing sql code using DBMS_SCHEDULER? Any ones help is much appreciated.
-Regards

Thanks you sb and Sybrand . It is problem with environment variables. After running .bash_profile in the beginning of the shell script, it is working fine.
One issue is when I check the process it is showing two entries with two different process id's.
The command I used
ps -ef | grep <my script> is COPY & PASTE broken for you?
any reason why you did not show us EXACTLY was produced by OS command above?

Calling sql script in plsql procedure

Hello,
I have a sql script named mytest.sql and i want to execute this from a stored procedure.
following is the contents of this script
spool d:\mytestsql.txt

Actually i want my sql script to run daily to export some tables data.
I can execute this script from a sql prompt but i want to run it from enterprise manager.
I am using oracle 10gR2 on windows2000 system.
Any idea about scheduling the sql script to run automatically??
How to execute this sql script from a plsql procedure??
Thanks

Hi all,
Thanks for all the replies. I have found the solution with external procedures.
Following is the complete step by step guide.
1. Create the OSCommand Java Class using the following statement:
connect as any user:
create or replace and compile java source named oscommand as
import java.io.*;
public class OSCommand{
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
return("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
2. Create the following Wrapper Function using the following statement:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(Command IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return int';
3. connect as sys
Execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>','execute');
execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '*' );
execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '*' );
commit;
note: here fkhalid is the oracle user.
connect as fkhalid user:
Declare
expdp_cmd Varchar2(2000);
Begin
expdp_cmd := OSCommand_Run('cmd /c sqlplus fkhalid@mtcedwt/pwd @d:\ORA_DUMPS\mydbexp.sql');
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(expdp_cmd);
End;
In Unix
Set Serverout On
Declare
x Varchar2(2000);
Begin
x := OSCommand_Run('/home/test/myoscommand.sh')
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(x);
End;
I will check the dbms_scheduler also and will let you know the results.
Thanks
