How to execute sql script from linux command line

Hello everyone !
Just short question. On my server I must install script in crontab which will eexecute some sql statements.
How can I write command which will execute script from file without asking about password ?
sqlplus user/pass ... and then what ?
thanks

On newer cron versions, you can add an environment to the crontab file itself that needs to be set before executing the scheduled command.
Whatever method - make sure you have ORACLE_HOME set, that the path includes ORACLE_HOME/bin, that ORACLE_SID is set (if not using a TNS alias) and so on.
But I agree with Sybrand... crontab is not the best place for running SQL or PL/SQL code. That should reside in the database as named code (e.g. stored procs) and be executed via DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULE.
Less moving parts that way. No external dependancies. And will work on any Oracle server, irrespective of the o/s used and whether or not the relevant o/s user has batch/cron/etc privs to do the deed.

How to execute SAPGUI script from the command line?

I have created a script and would like to execute it from the command line. There must be some flag that goes with SAPGUI.EXE. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
the best way to do this is to run the script using the Windows Script Host, for example like this:
cscript myscript.vbs
This will execute the script which in turn can access SAP GUI. You may however have to make sure the script attaches to the correct session.
Best regards,

How to execute sql scripts from Powershell across multiple databases

Re: How to execute sql scripts from Powershell across multiple databases
I have an tsql script that I want to run across a list of databases. How is the best way to do this in Powershell? Thanks.

My example below, using just the SMO and not breaking up the batches, the ExecuteWithResults give the following error when the .sql file contains a GO. My script files are as simple as a DECLARE and then a GO.

How to execute OMB scripts from the command prompt of OS

Hi
I want to deploy the mapping from one environment to other environment using OMB script language. But I dont want to run the OMB scripts from OMB plus COmmand prompt?
All I need is , is there any way/scripts to access OMB command prompt from the general command prompt of the OS Machine?
or Can I call this OMB command from java program but not JDeveloper?
It would be a great help for me by sharing your knowledge?
Cheers
Pradeep

This way from MS-DOS:
set ORACLE_HOME=c:\oracle\OWB10gR2 (change to your Oracle Home)
call C:\oracle\OWB10gR2\owb\bin\win32\OMBPlus.bat C:\...\my_script.tcl > C:\...\my_log.log
my_script.tcl contains something like this:
set OMBLOG "c:\\...\\some_kind_of.log"
# Disconn just in case you have called a previous script
OMBDISC
source C:\\...\\script_with_omb_procedures.tcl
OMBCC my_project
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER "USER/PASSWORD@HOST:PORT:SERVICE" USE REPOSITORY 'MY_REPOSITORY_OWNER'
OMBDCC
DEFAULT_CONTROL_CENTER MY_CONTROL_CENTER
proc_from_script_with_omb_procedures
exit
Hope this helps you to begin.
Instead of using script_with_omb_procedures.tcl you can have your procedures directly inside my_script.tcl, but I like using a script apart to reuse my procedures.

Calling an ExtendScript script from the command line

Hi! I can call an ExtendScript script from a command line just by using its path, but is there a way to pass parameters to the script? Thanks. -Rick

Hi Rick,
Well, a scan of the documentation certainly provides no evidence of this capability. If it exists, someone else will have to fill us in.
I did have an idea, although it's a bit of a roundabout approach. A windows batch file can accept parameters and can write a text file. So, maybe Mif2Go can call a batch file instead that writes the folder to some file, then runs the script that reads the file. Although, I'm not familiar with a command line call to ES, so I'm not sure that a batch file can launch an ES script too. If not, can Mif2Go make more than one command line call?

How to check system status from Windows command line?

Does anyone has an idea how to check system status from Windows command line? In UNIX we use startsap check, unfortunately I didn't find an appropriate command provided by SAP.
The only idea we have is to use
tasklist /FI "Username eq SAPService<SID>" | find "disp+work"
which isn't as nice as startsap check.

Hi,
In windows you can use the command
go to profile directory in command prompt and the give the following command to check the status of the instance.
sapstart check pf=START_DVEBMGS<nr>_<hostname>
that means you need to mention start profile or instance profile. So that it will say whether the instance is running or not.
If you want any other information please reply back to me.
Thanks,
Chaitanya.

Execute sql script from apex

hi all
i have dir /usr/tmp which there i have script in sql that creats a report
in the command line i'm running the script like this :
sqlplus user/passwd@db @name_of_script
my goal is to run this script thru the apex
i tried to create some process
before header like this
:p116 := sqlplus user/passwd@db @/usr/tmp/name_of_script ;
doesn't work!!
i even try to put this action in table but then i don't know how to run this ?
can it executed in apex ? if yes then how ?
thanks a lot

I checked the link and it did not work, so I am reposting my original reply below.
had a requirement to run a Fortran program against some data that woudl be extracted from the database after the user set up their filtering criteria and made some additional input. SInce the program was to complex to conver to PL/SQL, we decided to try and invoke it from Apex. This is how I did it.
1. I followed the steps in Tim Archer's excellent article "Oracle External Procedure to Run Host Commands" (http://www.timarcher.com/?q=node/9). If the link does nto work, google the article's title.
Using this steps I created a function which accepts any OS command, including calling my own shell scripts, and runs them. I called my PL/SQL function "shell" instead of "USF_RUN_HOST_CMD " as Tim did in his example (step 9).
2. In Apex,
a. I created a button to run my shell command. (I named it P2_RUN_SHELL)
b. I created a PL/SQL process whose source looks as follows:
shell('/home/ackness/scripts/cr_xcf_file.sh > /tmp/cr_scfp_file.log');
and which was conditioned on the the button P2_RUN_SHELL.
It works like a charm.
Note: since you can run your own scripts using this method, you can encapsulate a series of commands in a UNIX shell script and invoke that script from Apex. This allows you to be able to test or run you commands from the command line as well as Apex and makes it easier to develop/debug/enhance the scripts in the future.

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 sql scripts from url

A nice feature of isqlplus was that we could execute a sql script stored on a

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.

How to execute SQL Script using windows powershell(using invoke-sqlcmd or any if)

OS : Windows server 2008
SQL Server : SQL Server 2012
Script: Test.sql (T-SQL) example : "select name from sys.databases"
Batch script: windows MyBatchscript.bat ( here connects to sql server using sqlcmd and output c:\Testput.txt)
(sqlcmd.exe -S DBserverName -U username -P p@ssword -i C:\test.sql -o "c:\Testoutput.txt) ---it working without any issues.....
This can execute if i double click MyBatchscript.bat file and can see the output in c:\testput.txt.
Powershell: Similarly, How can i do in powershell 2.0 or higher versions? can any one give full details with each step?
I found some of them online, but nowhere seen clear details or examples and it not executing through cmd line (or batch script).
example: invoke-sqlcmd -Servernameinstance Servername -inputfile "c:\test.sql" | out-File -filepath "c:\psOutput.txt" --(call this file name MyTest.ps1)
(The above script working if i run manually. I want to run automatic like double click (or schedule with 3rd party tool/scheduler ) in Batch file and see the output in C drive(c:\psOutput.txt))
Can anyone Powershell experts give/suggest full details/steps for this. How to proceed? Is there any configurations required to run automatic?
Thanks in advance.

How to load SQL scripts from a text file.

Hi, i tried several time to load a text file/SQL script with 10 different tables and data, but 10g Express doesen't allows me to do that, any one can direct me or point out to me what i should do or do i need to adopt any special method to to get this done. i am sure there must be some thing where you can upload SQL scripts from a text file (in SQL command editor!). thanks

Hi,
see my other answer here:
SQL command editor doesn't take more than 1 insert command
This seems to be a duplicate question, right? Or am I missing something?

Execute script from AfterFX command line

Hello all
I'm trying to run a script from the AfterFX.exe command line and I get a message: "Unable to execute script at line 1. Syntax error"
If I run the same script file from the AE Script Editor, it works perfectly
Here is the command line I'm using:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files\AfterFX.exe" -noui -s "D:\Product\Watermark\Rendering\WatermarkedSecuritySample.jsx"
Anyone have an idea of what can cause this error? I've tried running the script directly in the command line like
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files\AfterFX.exe" -noui -s "alert('1')"
and it works fine for short script but mine is way to big to do that
As you can probably guess with the "Watermark" and "Security" in the filename, I cannot post the script file here, all I can say is that the line 1 is:
var projectName = "D:\\Product\\WatermarkTemplate.aep";
I've tried to replace the entire script with "alert('1');" and it cause the same error when running it from the command line
Also, if anyone know where I can find the AfterFX.exe command line arguments description, I would be very happy.. everybody talks about aerender.exe but I need thoses options for AfterFX.exe
Thanks for your help

Have you tried to use "-r" instead of "-s"?
(argument for "-s" is a script; and argument for "-r" is a path to script)

Executing sql script from file, with multiple queries

Hello,
I am trying to load an SQL script from a file, parse the script into separate SQL statements, and execute each of them. The final statement will always be a query, and thus will return a result.
Three problems arise:
1. I don't know what TYPE of statement each one is (i.e. whether it is an UPDATE or a QUERY), which seems to be required in order to execute it in java (via executeQuery and executeUpdate).
2. I am not sure of the best way to execute a series of statements (the Statement object has some "batch" functionality, but I'm not sure if there is a better way, or even of the proper way to use this).
3. I need to be able to make sure the final statement is a QUERY, and thus will return a ResultSet. Otherwise I need to be able to throw an exception.
This has been causing me a lot of trouble. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Have you got any solution for your mentioned problem????
I am facing almost the same kind of problem like I have some sql files containg simple sql statements as well as code for writting Procs , triggeres, index...functions..and so on. I need to execute this XYZ.sql file from Java side.
Can you guide me about my problem?????
Thanks in advance.............
