How to run SQL entered in a table.

Hi,
I have a table and in that table I have rows with sql commands, I want to select a single row I mean a single sql statement to run. How to achieve this from forms 10g ? I will retrieve that row from table, get the sql in a variable and how to run that sql in a variable. Please let me know. Thank you. Also let me know whether I need to have a semicolon in the row at the end of the sql command in that row of sql command.
I want to use that sql in create_group_from_query command to populate list of values.
Any Gurus out there ?

Hi Jowal,
I was back after many days, I tried your sql code, I populated it in variable with same size characters and passed it to the list item, but it is not running ! Can you please let me know what is the problem ? When I hard code sql then only the query is running and populating the list otherwise not. There are no errors displayed. The list item is just not getting populated. Forms 10g patchset 10.1.2.0.2 oracle database 11g on windows 7
Please help.

In T-SQL, you can try using sqlcmd to invoke sql file
if @@SERVERNAME='abcd'
begin
Master..xp_cmdshell 'sqlcmd -S <ServerName> -i BackupDetails.sql -E'
end
OR
PowerShell

Information on how to run SQL queries on the CUCM itself please

Good Day All,
I need to run an sql query on the CUCM to list all of my directory numbers, their partition, and their external mask values.
I came across this excerpt below earlier so I have a bit of an idea how to do it but iw would be great to see some other examples of sql queries.
Any assistance is most appreciated.
Also, is there a document somewhere to tell me how to run these queries?
Thanks in advance

Re: Is there a way of pulling a report off CM showing all phones that have diverts on?
Try if running this SQL query from the CLI helps you, it should list all DN's that have CFA enabled to VM or a DN:
run sql select dnorpattern,cfadestination,cfavoicemailenabled from CallForwardDynamic c, numplan n where c.fknumplan = n.pkid and (cfadestination != '' or cfavoicemailenabled ='t')

Hi Amanda
Basically it's standard SQL, so it wouldn't hurt to google 'informix select statements' and do a little reading to get the basics. There are millions of permutations of queries so it's a matter of understanding the syntax, and then applying that to the database in question. The only difference when running commands from the CLI are that:
- You prefix the standard informix SQL statement with 'run sql'
- You don't get any help from CUCM with the syntax, so you might be well advised to use something that understands SQL a little and colorises it as you type, and then paste the resulting commands into the CUCM SSH window. I use a text editor named JEdit, if you create a text file and save it as a file ending in .sql it will highlight your syntax.
- Other programs are available that do reasonable syntax highlighting (e.q. SquirrelSQL) that are designed for querying the DB directly, but you can't actually query directly against the DB for security reasons. You'd still have to copy/paste the commands.
Now... to understand the DB you'll need a reference describing all the tables etc. This is here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_programming_reference_guides_list.html
Pick your version of CUCM and download the 'Data Definition' document.
A few notes on the command:
run sql : is just the CLI command that tells the shell to run the following text as SQL.
select : the SQL command to retrieve data
dnorpattern,cfadestination,cfavoicemailenabled : the column names to retrieve
callforwarddynamic c, numplan n : the names of two tables, and the abbreviations you want to refer to them as
where c.fknumplan = n.pkid : this tells SQL to return values from the two tables where these fields match up. In the data definition you'll see notes that c.fknumplan (i.e. the fknumplan column in the callforwarddynamic table, as noted by the c. prefix) refers to the PKID column in the numplan field. This is a very standard type of join in the CCM DB.
and (cfadestination != '' or cfavoicemailenabled ='t') : another clause, basically in this query we want to see only rows where cfadestination isn't blank or cfavoicefmailenabled is set to 't' for true).
Most tables are linked in one of two ways in this database:
- a column prefixed 'fk' refers to the pkid field (there is always only one pkid field per table) in the table following the 'fk' prefix. E.g. above fknumplan refers to the numplan table, pkid field. fkdevice would refer to the device table, pkid field.
- a column prefiex 'tk' refers usually to an enum table which is prefixed with 'type'. This is a table that maps the number value in the 'tk' field to a string. An example would be tkmodel - this represents the phone physical model type (e.g. 7962), and maps to a table called typemodel, and the 'enum' column in that table.

Help me Please ..... How to Run SQL Query in Creator

Hi all , I want to Run a SQL query in Creator how do i do it.
If i want to retrive a set of records based on few matching fields or some join conditions , what method i can use ?
How Can i run other SQL statements like ALTER , UPDATE , DROP ....
Please Help me .

Hi Hanumesh,
To run SQL commands like ALTER, UPDATE, DROP you will have to go to the Pointbase console. Creator does not provide for database operations on the tables other than querying for data. To start the Pointbase console run startconsole.exe which can be found in <install directory>\SunAppServer8\pointbase\tools\serveroption.
Hope this helps

How to run SQL from PL/SQL?

hi,
i want to run sql script from PL/SQL,
in my PL/SQL,i have given the path within the double quotes,
@"/usr/local/pbiace/current/bin/handle.sql" but while running the script im getting some exception.
pls guide me.....

What is your OS.
First example, divide three part scritps and then
cat beforepart.sql account.sql afterpart.sql | sqlplus user/password@connectstring
type beforepart.sql+account.sql+afterpart.sql | sqlplus user/password@connectstring
Second example, divide two part scripts.
acc2.sql
declare HandleN varchar(20);
begin
select pbhandlenamelower INTO HandleN from pb_handle where pbhandleid in(select max(pbhandleid)
from pb_handle where ha_customerentityid in (select acct_customerentityid from account
where acct_accountid = &1 )) AND pbmainhandleflag=1 ;
do.pl('==============================') ;
do.pl('Handle Name: ' || HandleN ) ;
do.pl('==============================') ;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
do.pl('No rows selected');
END;
exit
main.sql
set serveroutput on
varaiable variable1 NUMBER
DECLARE
data varchar2(20);
BEGIN
data:='&1';
select BI_ACCOUNTID into :variable1 from pb_bill_info where PBBTN=data;
do.pl('BI_ACCOUNTID');
do.pl('------------');
do.pl(:variable1);
end;
@acc2 :variabl1
Third Example
create or replace directory SCRIPTS_DIR as 'path name'
acc3.sql (Only 1 statement, don't include into-clause and ';')
select pbhandlenamelower from pb_handle where pbhandleid in(select max(pbhandleid)
from pb_handle where ha_customerentityid in (select acct_customerentityid from account
where acct_accountid = :variable1 )) AND pbmainhandleflag=1
main.sql
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
data varchar2(20);
variable1 NUMBER;
HandleN varchar(20);
p_sql varchar2(32000) := '';
File_Handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
Read_line varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
data:='&1';
select BI_ACCOUNTID into variable1 from pb_bill_info where PBBTN=data;
do.pl('BI_ACCOUNTID');
do.pl('------------');
do.pl(variable1);
File_Handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('SCRIPTS_DIR','acc3.sql','r');
loop
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(File_Handle, Read_line);
exit when no_data_found;
p_sql := p_sql || Read_line || chr(32) ;
end loop;
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(File_Handle);
execute imediate p_sql into HandleN using varaiable1;
do.pl('==============================') ;
do.pl('Handle Name: ' || HandleN ) ;
do.pl('==============================') ;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
do.pl('No rows selected');
END;
Or Some many other Examples and those are maybe more simple, only if you would analyze your business requirements.

How to run SQL and export results to Excel

My task is to run a custom SQL script and create Excel file via running SQL Developer from command line (invoked by a scheduled script). Is this possible using SQL Developer?
The thing I'm trying first is to run a user-defined report in SQL Developer and save the results to an Excel file. Only 16000 result rows, but took 10 minutes to do the export and still cannot finish. Is there another way to do it?
Many thanks.

Thanks K for the update.
I have done csv files before using pl/sql, no problem at all. It's just that in current work environment, we're using a 3rd party tool to make the Excels and I was asked to study the feasibility of using SQL Developer instead of our current commercial tool to do the job.

This is resided in videos folder of windows , i have created a task schedular in windows 8.1 to run daily at every 10 seconds , but it is not working ... Please tell me how to deal with it.
Please note : This sql query is running perfectly in sql server. Query have no errors. Please check whats wrong with my time schedular. I just want my schedular to run every 10 seconds regardless of date.

Hi Emad,
Is your script in a ".sql" file? May I know how you configure the schedule task action?
Since you didn't mention how you configure the schedule task, can you confirm you have followed the below step correctly?
Save your script in a ".sql" file.
Create a ".bat" file and call the sql file above inside with
sqlcmd.exe, you can reference
here.
Configure a schedule task to run the ".bat" file in a certain interval.
Have you tried to run the script in you bat file in a standalone commandline window? Please post the script in your bat file, It can help to diagnose the issue.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Enter SQL or a fully qualified script name on the remote hosts, for example, "@script".
Parameters /nolog ( i put)
Enter optional parameters to SQL*Plus.

by default the root directory for scripts is the $AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd directory. You can either put all of your scripts there, or create a directory there. Then when you call the script from OEM you can use the following
@script.sql
if you create a directory in the $AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd directory called scripts then you can put your scripts there and run the script like this
@scripts/script.sql

How to generate sql script based on table structure

For example:
if the table is:

6 3 tt
The expected output is:

SELECT 2 cid, 1 id,'yy' c_value from dual union all
SELECT 3 cid, 2 id,'zz' c_value from dual union all

SELECT 5 cid, 3 id,'ss' c_value from dual union all
SELECT 6 cid, 3 id,'tt' c_value from dual )
