Java Script in a Stored Procedure

I have a stored procedure. I use HTP Pacakge to generate the Page with HTML tags.
I need to include a Javascript file in the stored procedure . I donno the path where the JS file resides in the Appserver meaning the context root.
Any help in educating me the location where JS ,CSS,IMAGE files are placed
in the appserver is most welcome.
I am using Oracle 10g DB and Oracle 10g App server.

The App Server has an Apache-based HTTP server. It uses the standard Apache config files - you can probably look at the $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/config/httpd.conf to find the document root.
The $ORACLE_HOME is the App Server's Home, not the database's Home

Using SQL Loader script in a Stored Procedure

Can I use SQL Loader script in a stored procedure and then execute it from a front-end appl.? The reason for this seemingly convoluted solution is that the users don't want a batch load though the records volume is quite high (around 1 mil). Other loads using ODBC connection or OLE DB seem to be inferior to SQL Loader.

I would suggest a couple of solutions:
1. Have a cgi script that can upload the file to the server from a web ui, then have the cgi script call the sql*loader file, and it will insert into the database.
2. You can try to use External tables. This is avaliable in 9i and onwards. You will be able to make any sql DML on the external table.
I would normally use sql*loader, move the data to a staging table with nologging, and paralle loading. After it has been loaded into the staging table I would process it into my main tables. Have used this approach with up to 60 million records in one load.
You can do calls to C procedures, Pro*C procedures through PLSQL, as well as java calls, or use Java stored procedures.
My experience is that SQL*Loader is the fastest way to load data into the database.

Executing Unix scripts from a stored procedure

From the sql*plus windows, I am able to execute the host command and '!sh' commands; but I need to ececute Unix scripts from a stored procedure. Hoe can I do this? Where can I get good documentation on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks..

Hi,
U can use external procedure ( newly added feature in 8.0.3 onwards) and call any shared library. From shared library u can execute it.
One sql command is there HOST(' '). U can run a OS command. But u can not use it in PL/SQL.
U can call pls sql from shell !!!!!..
Thanks...

Shell script execution from stored procedure

I am working on a project thallt requires a shell script be executed upon the execution of a stored procedure with Oracle 10g. I have researched the matter, but there does not seem to be much out there on how to execute lines of UNIX commands by use of a stored procedure. If anybody has ever gotten this to work, any information would be appreciated. If the task is impossible, let me know, I just could not confirm that it was not something that could be done.

A combination of things can help you out here - none of which are easy or particularily secure.
1) From plain PL/SQL, you can call 'external procedures'. That is basically a DLL or .so that the listener can load on demand, and that external procedure (EXTPROC) can run whatever you need from the C program. C can, in turn, call a shell.
This is fairly well documented, but be aware that 1/2 of the info is in the PL/SQL docco and the other half in the Networking docco.
A fair bit of info is available in metalink as well - if you have access, simply search on extproc.
2) You can call a Java stored procedure which in turn has hooks to the outside world. That will probably require a PL/SQL to Java wrapper to make it available in your environment. Oracle has been using this one successfully for a while.
3) Write the script using UTL_FILE and have a daemon look for, and execute, the script.
4) Since you are using 10g, use the new job scheduler. It has excellent capability to interact with the OS, and it is available as a PL/SQL package (DBMS_SCHEDULER). I find the interface a bit heavy, but that could be wrapped by a library tailored to your specific needs.
Let us know what you decide to do in the end (and why) - it is an interesting topic.

Empty strings when passing a Java object to a Stored Procedure

Hi,
I'm using the interface SQLData to pass Java objects to StoredProcedures. All the object's attributes 'arrive' to the Stored Procedure ok, except the strings, which are empty.

x_cResult OUT CHAR(4)
My SQLData implementation:
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput stream) throws SQLException {
               stream.writeString(getArg1());
               stream.writeInt(getArg2().intValue());
               stream.writeString(getArg3());
               stream.writeLong(getArg4().longValue());
               stream.writeBigDecimal(getArg5());
               stream.writeString(getArg6());
Can anybody help me?

How to call a java method in a Stored procedure

Hi.,
I was trying to call a method in a stored procedure
This was my procedure

};while i am executing this method i m getting error as
ORA-29531: NO METHOD COPYFILE IN CLASS FILECOPY
ORA-06512: AT "RMVER721.PROC_COPY_FILE", LINE 1could anyone help me

Looks like it is a matter of not quite the same namespace for String object.
I can get it to work by the java source containing:
          public static void copyfile(java.lang.String fromFile,java.lang.String toFile) throws AccessControlExceptionAnd the PL/SQL source:
NAME 'FileCopy.copyfile(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)'; // calling a java methodSeems like when you just use "String", then the namespace resolving in the java source is not the same as the namespace resolving in the PL/SQL?
Addendum:
You do not need to put java.lang.String in the java source, String will do (java.lang is by default "imported"?)
But in the PL/SQL source java.lang namespace prefix is needed - java.lang is not "imported" here.

Script out many stored procedures at once?

I found lots of methods for individually scripting out stored procedures, but I'd like to know if there's a way to do many (like 100 or so) at once.
Ideally, I'd like to execute something that would save all the procedures that start with 'dev_' to the file system somewhere, then delete the dev_ SP's from the database and leave the other SPs that actually get used.
Is that possible in one step? Does any one have a link or an idea?
Thanks in advance!!

Actually, I did slight modifications after that - here is a version that really scripts them:
set nocount on
DECLARE @Test TABLE (Id INT IDENTITY(1,1), Code varchar(max))
INSERT INTO @Test (Code)
SELECT 'IF object_ID(N''[' + schema_name(schema_id) + '].[' + Name + ']'') IS NOT NULL
DROP PROCEDURE ['+ schema_name(schema_id) +' ].[' + Name + ']' + char(13) + char(10) + 'GO' +
OBJECT_DEFINITION(OBJECT_ID) + char(13) +char(10) + 'GO' + char(13) + char(10)
from sys.procedures
where is_ms_shipped = 0
DECLARE @lnCurrent int, @lnMax int
DECLARE @LongName varchar(max)
SELECT @lnMax = MAX(Id) FROM @Test
SET @lnCurrent = 1
WHILE @lnCurrent <= @lnMax
BEGIN
SELECT @LongName = Code FROM @Test WHERE Id = @lnCurrent
WHILE @LongName <> ''
BEGIN
print LEFT(@LongName,8000)
SET @LongName = SUBSTRING(@LongName, 8001, LEN(@LongName))
END
SET @lnCurrent = @lnCurrent + 1
END

Java and Sybase nested stored procedures.

Hi!
I have nested Sybase stored procedures, the main procedure calls a helper stored proc.
The main procedure returns 2 result sets before calling the helper store proc and helper store proc returns 1 resultset. After the helper store proc is called, the main store proc returns 2 more resultset. When I run it using SQL client tool the main procedure(and it's helper) execute well and returns rows.
I need to call this store proc in a java code and display all the resultset in screen. I am using Statement:execute(<exec sp>) to execute the store proc and then statement.getResultSet() to get each resultset. The loop is controlled by statement.getMoreResults() .
It displays the first 2 resultsets from main Store Proc. Then the control goes to helper store proc. It executes the helper store proc and displays the resultset from helper. But then it stops there and doesnot
come back to main store proc to execute the remaining resultset.
What I suspect is that, the statement object is getting overlaid when the call goes to helper proc.
Any idea as to how to code to handle multiple nested resultset ?
~ RNS.
My Sybase stored procedure code looks like -
=======================================================================
create procedure main_proc
@param1 int
as
select getdate()
select @@servername
declare @return_val int
exec proc2 @param1, @return_val out
select myCol1,
myCol2,
myCol3=@return_val
from mytable
select db_name()
===========================================================================
Sybase Code for proc2
create procedure proc2
@param1 int,
@param2 int out
as
begin
if something exists(select * from table where whereClause)
select @param2="TRUE"
else
select @param2="FALSE"
select getdate()
end
go
GRANT EXECUTE...
EXEC sp_procxmode 'dbo.proc2,'unchained'
go
====================================================================
Code snippet :-
do {
int iit=0;
rs=stmt.getResultSet();
if ( rs != null ) {
ResultSetMetaData rsd = rs.getMetaData();
int nocols = rsd.getColumnCount();
for (int i=1; i<=nocols; i++)
System.out.println(rsd.getColumnName(i)));
while (rs.next())
for (int i=1; i<=nocols; i++)
System.out.println(rs.getString(rsd.getColumnName(i));
} while (stmt.getMoreResults());

I'm not 100% sure about this, but my guess is that this is caused by the TDS protocol (used by Sybase). TDS makes no difference between the stored procedure you are calling and the "inner" stored procedure, so the driver just returns update counts and result sets as they are generated, regardless of who generated them.
Another guess (as I don't know what driver you are using) is that execute() returns the first result (update count or ResultSet), as opposed to executeQuery(), which returns the first ResultSet (probably discarding the update count). You can make sure of this by calling getMoreResults(); you should get your ResultSet at some point.

Calling Java programs from Oracle Stored Procedure

Is it possible to call Java programs from Oracle stored procs? If possible Can this be used to exchange data from other applications? Is there a better method/feature in oracle for doing data exchange with other apps?

If what you mean by Oracle stored procedures is pl/sql then yes.
You can create a "wrapper" this way:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xmlXform
in_mapUrl IN VARCHAR2,
in_inputUrl IN VARCHAR2
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME
'com.yourcompany.xml2any.xform(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
RETURN java.lang.String';
Then load the java as:
loadjava -user youruser/youruserpasswd -resolve -verbose lib/xmlparserv2.jar classes/com/yourcompany/xform.class classes/com/yourcompany/xml2any.class
The java, given the correct permissions, can do anything java can do including communicate with outside applications.
Is this the "best" way... depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

Calling Java Constructor from Oracle Stored Procedure

Hi all,
I have come across a situation where on insert into one Oracle database instance, a trigger will be fired which will call a procedure which in turn calls a Java constructor with 2 string arguments(The Java class is loaded into another instance of Oracle using Loadjava).
(Note: I don't want to call a static method from the Oracle procedure)
I have seen some examples where in using links, on insertion into a table another table of another instance can also be updated.
for ex: "INSERT INTO testuser.sal_audit@mainlink VALUES (?, ?, ?)" where "mainlink" is a DB link between the 2 instances.
Similarly is it possble to call the Java constructor loaded in another instance?
I have tried in this way. It's not working.
create or replace procedure pr_Cust_object(FeData varchar2,szDummy varchar2) as
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME
'CustomObject@mainLink(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)';
end pr_Cust_object;
Expecting help at the earliest--ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Narendra S K

I don't know how to do that, but I would be interested in knowing how long each insert/update/delete (which ever the trigger fires on) takes.
And the logic for rollbacks is probably really interesting.

A big contributor to the behavior seen here is that there is a one-time overhead per session (= per database connection) to start the JavaVM and also (in 8.1.6 and earlier) to initialize the SQLJ runtime (via reflection).
Keeping the same connection for subsequent calls to Java (which is the more typical scenario, anyway) will result in a rather considerable speedup.
