How to issue a SQL*Plus command from PL/SQL program?

Thanks.

You can't issue a SQL*PLus command from a PL/SQL program. If you can tell us more about what you are trying to do, perhaps we can offer a substitute.

Fire OMB Plus commands from PL/SQL

Hi all,
does anyone know if it is possible to fire OMB Plus commands from PL/SQL procedures?
I can imagine that there might be a PL/SQL package in the repository owner schema that accepts OMB Plus commands as strings...or something similar...
Thanks,
Elio

Hi Elio
I don't know about any existing package that could do that.
What I'd suggest is to build a stored procedure/function/package that could do that. Or even, execute OMB Scripts in the host from a pl/sql program.
Good luck.

Marcos

Running a SQL*Plus command from Java

I have a requirement to run SQL* Plus commands from Java. The results as they would appear in SQL*Plus window or spool file should be captured and stored in a table.
For example,
SQL> select * from dual;
D
X
1 row selected;
SQL>
All the lines above should be stored for later use.
Could any one give pointers?
Thanks,
Ravi


Hi,



public class RuntimeExecApp {
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
r.exec("C:\\Oracle\\sqlplus.exe");

.......Embedding SQL PLUS commands inside PL/SQL.....

hai every body,
I have a doubt regarding sql plus commands and PL/SQL..I am using Oracle 10g..I have created 1 procedure for deletion/updation of transactions..and the number of effected rows I just displayed with using " *dbms_output.put_line* (SQL%ROWCOUNT)"..hence before executing the procedure the sqlPlus command "*SET SERVEROUTPUT ON*" should turn on..at most times it is forget to turn on and output becomes vague..
hence my question is "*Is there any package or any thing to execute sql plus commands(here it is SET SERVER OUTPUT ON) through PL/SQL statements???*"
with thanks,

Easy PL/SQL supports PL/SQL commands and embedded SQL, which are found in the PL/SQL and SQL reference manuals.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10592/toc.htm
It does not support the commands of other applications or languages such as SQL*Plus, Unix or COBOL for example.

Need to execute SQL PLUS commands from C# code

Hello all,
This is my first question here and hopefully I will get my solution :)
Right now we are doing 3 tasks manually
1) Clearing everything from a DB.
We use sql plus and execute this :
RAMNIVAS_CI/RAMNIVAS_CI@orclwex3
set pages 0
set lines 80
spool c:\delete_objects_CI
select 'drop '||object_type||' '||object_name||';'
from user_objects;
spool off
start c:\delete_objects_CI.lst
purge recyclebin;
set pages 100
select count(*) from user_objects;
RAMNIVAS_CI/RAMNIVAS_CI@orclwex3 are the username and pwd which gets input when we paste entire thing in sql plus
2) Then we restore that DB again using sql plus to do it using the command:
imp file=CL.DMP log=CL.log buffer=1000000 fromuser=RAMNIVAS_CL touser=RAMNIVAS_CL statistics=none grants=n commit=y
3)Execute sql scripts on it using sql developer. (This is not hard I guess coz I know we can use oracle client)
4) Take backup using this command:
exp RAMNIVAS_CI/RAMNIVAS_CI@ORCLWEX3 file=CI.dmp log=CI.log direct=y compress=y buffer=1000000 grants=n statistics=none
Is there anything I cna do to execute SQL PLUS commands using c#?

Hi,
You can execute OS commands via the SHELL function provided in .NET. See the MSDN for more info.
Some of the things you can do directly from .NET via ODP and PLSQL, some not.
1) Dropping the user objects can be done via a plsql procedure where you open a cursor for "select 'drop '||object_type||' '||object_name||';' ..." and then use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to execute the resulting commands. You can invoke the procedure via ODP.
2) IMP is an exe, not a sqlplus command, so you're not actually using sqlplus there. You can still use the SHELL command though to invoke that.
3) Executing SQL Scripts via ODP.NET is not something you can do very easily. If you search the threads here you should be able to find some solutions others have come up with to parse the file and execute the statements one by one, but there's nothing built in to ODP to execute a script file.
You may want to just shell out to sqlplus user/pwd@db @scriptfile.sql but you may have issues trying to track down errors if any occurred, as I'm not sure where they go in that case.
4) just as with IMP, EXP is an exe, so you could shell out to that.
Corrections/comments welcome.

Is Sql plus command avaliable in sql developer

SQL developer is able to do most of thing can be done with sql plus with GUI , cool.
However, seems sql command, such as show parameter, start database have to be done in sql plus.
is this true?
most of time in my development, I just open sql developer now. but seems in this statuation, i have to use sql plus.

If your schema has privileges you can get parameter values in SQL*Developer by querying V$PARAMETER (SET_CATALOG_ROLE privilege).
The two tools are not the same. Much of what you can do with SQL*PLUS you can do with SQL*Developer but I feel that SQL*PLUS still has better scripting abilities along with its bind variable storate. On the other hand the GUI interface of SQL*Developer Is fairly easy to use. The danger is editing procedures/functions/packages in the database forgetting to back them up from SQL*Developer first; SQL*PLUS forces me to use scripts.
Depending on what I am doing I use either SQL*PLUS or SQL*Developer (which I like better for queries with long select lists).
I'm having trouble getting DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to work the way I expect in SQL*Developer; sometimes the output just does not appear without repeated executions of the generating program.

How to find GUI SQL*Plus command tool in Oracle 8i (version 8.1.7)

I had installed Oracel 8i Enterprise Edition (version 8.1.7) on my server machine (Windows NT 4.0), I'd like to use Oracle Navigator (GUI SQL*PLUS command tool), but I can not find it from the menu. I know Oracle Navigator is available in Oracle 7. Can anyone tell me where and how to use GUI SQL*PLUS command tool in Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition (version 8.1.7) ?
thanks a lot.

Hi
Oracle Navigator is part of Personal Oracle7 and Oracle Lite. I don't know is it available in 8i Personal Edition but I am sure that it is not part of Standard and Enterprise Edition.

Issue with Executing OS commands from Stored Procedure

I am trying to execute the scripts provided at :
http://github.com/xtender/XT_SHELL
provided by xtender user.
As required, I have asked my DBAs to grant privileges by executing the following scripts:
Begin
--change to needed permissions and execute
dbms_java.grant_permission( 'ODS', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '/var/factiva/ODS/bin/CVIM_Rpt_ExportCSVFile’, 'read,write,execute' );
end;
/where CVIM_Rpt_ExportCSVFile is my script residing in the Unix server where my Oracle is installed.
The error I am facing when I try to execute the following command is:
select * from table(xt_shell.shell_exec('/var/scripts/CVIM_Rpt_ExportCSVFile',100))
Exception:the Permission (java.io.FilePermission /var/scripts/CVIM_Rpt_ExportCSVFile execute) has not been granted to ODS. The PL/SQL to grant this is dbms_java.grant_permission( 'ODS', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '/var/scripts/CVIM_Rpt_ExportCSVFile', 'execute' )I have asked my DBA to also execute the following scripts: - But I still see the same error as above. I am not able to figure out whats going on. Can anyone pls help me out??
EXEC Dbms_Java.Grant_Permission('ODS', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');

Execute SQL*PLUS script from VB6?

I'm using VB6 to connect to oracle 10 with oracle client 8i, I can establish the connection without any problems.
If I run a SQL statement from VB it works prefect, but when I try to run a SQL Plus script from VB I get error ORA-00900, "invalid SQL statement". Everything works fine in oracle SQLPLUS.
Is there anything I have missed about running SQL*PLUS script from VB6? Is'nt it the same as a SQL statement?

SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format

Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?

841731 wrote:
Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?SQLPlus doesn't print, and it doesn't know about 'landscape' vs. 'portrait' any more than it knows about fonts. the only 'formatting' it knows is line size, page size. And all it does with line size is know where to insert a CR/LF pair (windows) or a CR (*nix). The only thing it knows to do with page size is repeat column headers.
The rest is up to whatever application you use to open the pure asciii text spool file.

How to open report in the browser from PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
I need to call the report (with destype = SCREEN) from the PL/SQL procedure and display in the browser.
For Example: when I call P_call_report procedure in my Forms6i button or at sql*plus, the report output PDF/HTML should open in the Browser window.
Iam Using IE, report6i, forms 6i, Oracle 8.1.7, Windows OS
I tried using UTL_HTTP(' ') in a procedure. But when I execute the procedure at sql*plus it says Pl/sql procedure completed successfully message without opening report output in the browser window. If I copy the same url and paste it in the browser, it works.
Please let me know if there is any solution.
thanks alot.

I guess event driven publishing may work. But Iam not sure about the opening of the browser from inside the procedure.
