Were you thinking of DBMS_METADATA?

How to run multiple scripts in sql*plus?

I would like to run 2 scripts in sql*plus, how do I do this? I tried the following, but it won't run.
create table student_new
AS
select *
from student
insert into student_new
(last_name, first_name
values
(Crop, Jenny)
The above are the two scripts I want to run, what am I doing wrong.
Thanks

Do you have a solution to run multiple scripts continuosly, one after the other as one script.
Say I have file1.sql file2.sql, file3.sql.
I want to create a script run.sql, where this will run file1.sql,file2.sql,file3.sql one after other without any one running one after the other like follows:
run.sql should have
begin
@file1.sql
@file2.sql
@file3.sql
dbms_output.put_line(select sysdate from dual);
end;
If I run run.sql all the three scripts should be executed successfully and then display the current time . All these files have update statements(50,000 updates each file).
Very urgetn. Can some one hlpe, please.
Thanks in advance.

To access ifs data from SQL, you need to (officially) setup a 'user view'. Refer to the Java API documentation on how to do this. Once you have created the user view, then you may access this view using any SQL tool.

How to view alertlog contents using SQL?

Hi,
Why don't you use the OEM Database Console ?? Now, in order to view the contents of the alert log file using a SELECT statement, you need to create a external table:
create or replace
directory background_dump_dest_dir
as '<your_oracle_home>/bdump';
CREATE table alert_log_external
(line varchar2(4000) )
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY background_dump_dest_dir

nodiscardfile
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '#$~=ui$X'
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
(line)
LOCATION ('alert_<sid_of your_database>.log') )
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;Cheers

How to invoke multiple sessions of sql*plus thru pl/sql program

Hi
How to invoke multiple sessions of sql*plus thru pl/sql program.
Thanks

How to invoke sql*plus in a procedure?????
I have to invoke more pl/sql sessions?????No you don't "have to".
Look at what you are trying to do.
You have a program running inside the PL/SQL engine. This is running nicely inside the Oracle database and is perfectly capable of issuing other SQL statements, PL/SQL programs etc. inside it's nice cosy Oracle environment.
You are asking for this PL/SQL to shell out to the operating system, run an external application, for which it will have to supply a username and password (are you planning on hard coding those into your PL/SQL?), and then that external application is supposed to run more SQL or PL/SQL against the database.
a) Why hold all this code external to the database when it can quite happily reside on the database itself and be executed through jobs or whatever.
b) Consider what would happen if someone were to replace the external application with their own program of the same file name... they'd be able to capture the username and password for connecting to the database, therefore a major security flaw.
The whole idea of doing what you want through external calls to SQL*Plus is ridiculous.

Accept input from Shell script in sql*plus

Hey! Guys..
i need the following info.
I am running a shell script from sql*plus. I need to accept a value from shell script into my .sql file.
thanks..
Harsh.

prompt for input, pass to another shell

How to control logic flow in SQL Plus script

Hi
I have the requirement below:
Before I start running an SQL script, I need to ensure that I am connecting as a particular user. If I am not that user, then the script should show a msg "Error - Invalid User - Log in as <<username>>"
Let's say i am executing a script A.sql.
SQL > @<path>a.sql
But before this script is executed -- i shall check for the user:
block begins...
select user into var1 from dual
if upper(var1) != 'ABCUSER' then
-- display the error message and stop execution of this script
else
@<path>a.sql (*it executes what i want :) )
end if;
block ends...
How do I write this code using an SQL script ? Pls sugges

Hi,
As Centinul said, SQL*Plus is poorly equipped to deal with problems like this. If possible, try to do what you want outside of SQL*Plus.
If you really have to do it in SQL*Plus, here are two ideas:
(1) run a script conditionally
(2) deliberately raise an error
(1) Using SQL*Plus substitution variables, you can decide which of several scripts to run as a sub-script, based on the results of some query.
For example, if a.sql is the script that only user ABCUSER is allowed to run, then write two other very short scripts:
(a) warning.sql, such as the following:
-- warning.sql
PROMPT You are not authorized to do this.
QUIT(b) step_1.sql, which decides whether a.sql or warning.sql should be run, and does it:
--     step_1.sql - Decide whether a.sql or warning.sql is to be run next, and do it.
--     (a) decide:
COLUMN script_name_col     NEW_VALUE     script_name
SELECT     CASE
          WHEN USER = 'ABCUSER'
          THEN 'a.sql'
          ELSE 'warning.sql'
     END     AS script_name_col
FROM     dual;
--     do:
@&script_nameYou may want to use @@, or specify a complete path name.
(2) Deliberately raise an error, either in a separate script or in a.sql itself, like this:
WHENEVER     SQLERROR     EXIT
SELECT     CASE
          WHEN USER = 'ABCUSER'
          THEN NULL
          ELSE TO_NUMBER ('This will raise ORA-01722')
     END     AS "Welcome!"
FROM     dual;
WHENEVER     SQLERROR     NONE
-- continue with the original a.sql

How to detect client OS from SQL*Plus script

Sometimes in a SQL*Plus script I need to execute OS commands e.g.
host rm tempfile.bufHowever of course Windows has no "rm" command by default, so I have to edit the script to use
host del tempfile.bufNow if I could define &DELETE (for example, "cat"/"type" is another) as a substitution variable, I could just use
host &DELETE tempfile.bufMaybe I need more coffee but all I could come up with was something like this:
def rm=rm
def cat=cat
spool sqlplus_windows_defs.cmd
prompt echo def rm=del
prompt echo def cat=type
spool off
host .\sqlplus_windows_defs > sqlplus_windows_defs.sql
@sqlplus_windows_defs.sql
host &rm sqlplus_windows_defs.cmd
host &rm sqlplus_windows_defs.sqlthe idea being that you first define the variables for nix ("rm" and "cat"), then attempt to create and execute a Windows command file containing DOS versions ("dele" and "type"), which does not run under nix. Unfortunately the OS failure message (".sqlplus_windows_defs: not found" in Unix) appears on the screen despite SET TERM OFF, so I'm back where I started.
I know there are various ways to get the server OS, and you can get the SQL*Plus version with &_SQLPLUS_RELEASE and so on, but I can't see a way to determine the client OS. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys. This seems to work in Windows XP - will try on Unix when I get a chance:
col DELETE_COMMAND new_value DELETE_COMMAND
col LIST_COMMAND new_value LIST_COMMAND
def list_command = TYPE
def delete_command = DEL
SELECT DECODE(os,'MSWIN','TYPE','cat') AS list_command
     , DECODE(os,'MSWIN','DEL','rm')   AS delete_command
FROM   ( SELECT CASE WHEN UPPER(program) LIKE '%.EXE' THEN 'MSWIN' END AS os
         FROM   v$session
         WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','sessionid') );
host &LIST_COMMAND xplan_errors.lst
host &DELETE_COMMAND xplan_errors.lstIf the user doesn't have access to v$session it will just default to the Windows commands.

Tracking the order of execution of sql scripts in SQL*Plus

In our production environment we sometimes have to run some .sql scripts in a particular order. Since the order of execution is important , i have created another .sql file caller caller.sql(shown at the bottom) which will call all the scripts in the right order.
i thought of putting a exec DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP (5); after the end of every execution of the script so that i can see the
'Ending script1'message .
The spooling within the caller script(execute_stack.log) has become meaningless because each script has a spool <filename.log> and spool off within it. These spool logs (for every script) is important for tracking purposes as each script belongs to a different development team and i have to send them the spooled log file after the execution.
I don't want to see the entire scripts running by in my screen. Since these scripts have their own spooling, i can later check the logs if the scripts where executed properly.
So i need two things.
1.I just need to see the following and nothing else in the screen.
Ending script1
Ending script2
Ending script3
.2. I need to log the order of execution. ie. the execute_stack.log should look like the above.Since there is a spool off within each script, this wouldn't be possible.Right?
Ending script1
Ending script2
Ending script3
.The caller.sql script which calls all the scripts in the right order
alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY hh24:MI:SS';
set serveroutput on
set echo on;
set feedback on;
spool execute_stack.log
@script1.sql
exec dbms_output.put_line ('Ending script1');
dbms_output.put_line(chr(10)||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10));
exec DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP (5);
@script2.sql
exec dbms_output.put_line ('Ending script2');
dbms_output.put_line(chr(10)||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10));
exec DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP (5);
@script3.sql
exec dbms_output.put_line ('Ending script3');
dbms_output.put_line(chr(10)||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10));
exec DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP (5);
@script4.sql
dbms_output.put_line(chr(10)||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10));
exec dbms_output.put_line ('Ending script3');
commit;
spool off;Is this a professional way of tracking the execution of .sql scripts?

Pete_Sg1 wrote:
Is this a professional way of tracking the execution of .sql scripts?No. There is very little professional about using .sql scripts on a production system - when stored procedures are safer, more robust, easier managed and controlled and secure.. and where a log table can be used to properly log the runtimes (and other stats) of each processing step.
Let's just take a look at the number of moving parts you need to schedule and run a .sql script. A cron job needs to be configured with the proper environment setting. It needs to run a shell script. That shell script needs to load SQL*Plus. SQL*Plus needs to connect to the database (starting a dedicated server process most likely). SQL*Plus then needs to read a .sql file, parse these commands and either execute these locally (SQL*Plus commands) or remotely (PL/SQL and SQL commands).
How can this be considered professional when the very same can be achieved with a
- stored procedure
- using DBMS_JOB to schedule the procedure for execution
There are so many things that can go wrong with the first method. And so few things that could go wrong with the last one. No contest as to which method is not only better, but also professional.
PS. See that you use Windows to run these scripts. It is even worse as it introduces another hardware and software layer making the scenario even more insecure & unsafe with more moving parts that can go wrong or simply fail.

After running sql scripts in SQL plus, where are the results(tables) stored

Hi ,
I am using oracleDb10g . i have used SQL plus to create a database. I have run 2 sql scripts and constructed the tables , but i dont know where the data is stored and how to make the data into a database, so that i can use it for connection through some UI.
for example: schema.sql, data.sql script files.
SQL> start schema.sql
SQL> start data.sql
The tables are created.
Now how can i group those table into a database and name it.(i mean i can create a database using SQL plus, but how to dump the tables into the database created). Because i want to use this database name for connecting to MS SQL, so i need the name.
Thanks
babu.

Oracle is different from SQL Server.
Time to read some basic books.

"ORA-1722 Invalid number" error while runing a SQL script in SQL*Plus

Hello,
I created a SQL script that is intended to populate tables with
baseline data. When I run the script in the SQL*Plus program
that comes with the Oracle 8.1.6 (client), I receive an "ORA-
1722 Invalid number".
The error always occurs when SQL*Plus tries to execute the
following SQL statement:
insert into components(db_ind,module_id,ext_compid,active) values
('cm',modules_seq.currval,1046682,'y');
The datatypes for the columns on the components table are as
follows:
db_ind varchar2(2);
module_id number;
ext_compid number;
active varchar2(1);
It seems that for some reason Oracle is having trouble
recognizing 1046682 as a number.
I also tried the following INSERT statements to see if that
would work:
insert into components(db_ind,module_id,ext_compid,active) values
('cm',modules_seq.currval,to_number('1046682'),'y');
insert into components(db_ind,module_id,ext_compid,active) values
('cm',modules_seq.currval,'1046682','y');
but I still receive the same error message
Is there some NLS setting(s) I need to modify so that Oracle
does not give me this error? Does anyone know the answer to
this problem?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Oscar
(NOTE: I also receive this same error when trying run the
script in SQL Navigator and Toad programs)

Please see the following docs.

Interactive script in SQL*PLUS

Hi,
I am a student and we need to write a script to be executed in SQL*PLUS.
Script has to execute an insert statement but all values need to be provided during runtime and in the end there should be a question if you wan't to save data. When yes then commit when no then rollback.
Below is my code. Problem is that program asks for variables' values after beginning then it displays all dbms_output.put_line and then continue with pl/sql.
I want to for examle:
- display message 'provide date'
- covvert string date to date type
- when error then exit, when ok then continue
- provide other variables in the same way
- ask for saving.
My code:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
set verify off
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD';
declare
do_save varchar2(240) ;
v_ename varchar2(50);
v_job varchar2(50);
v_sal number;
v_hiredate date;
v_tmp varchar(50);
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Provide name:');
v_tmp := '&val_ename';
v_ename := v_tmp;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Provide salary:');
v_tmp := '&val_sal';
begin
v_sal := cast(v_tmp as number);
exception when others then
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Incorrect salary format.');
end;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Provide data:');
v_tmp := '&val_hiredate';
begin
v_hiredate := to_date(v_tmp);
exception when others then
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Incorrect date format.');
end;
INSERT INTO EMP(ENAME, SAL, HIREDATE)
VALUES (v_ename, v_sal, v_hiredate);
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Do you want to save? [Y/N]');
do_save := '&val_save';
do_save := upper(ltrim(substr(nvl(do_save, 'N'), 1,1)));
IF do_save = 'Y' THEN
commit;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Data saved.');
ELSE
rollback;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Data rejected.');
END IF;
end;
