Messages on entry to SQL*Plus

(Long shot...)
Is it possible to display a message to the user upon entry to SQL*Plus? Effectively appending to the information that Oracle provides by way of versions etc.
Thanks
Jason.

Jason:
You can run any sql right after user SQLPLUS console by inserting the sql into glogin.sql which is located in $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin directory.

  • SQL Plus error

    I'm working with Ubuntu 10.04 Server.
    I just installed Oracle XE 11g (11.2.0 specifically)
    All I did was download the .rpm file and converted it to a deb (using alien) and then ran the deb (using dpkg). Everything seems to be installed fine however when I try to run sqlplus I get the following message:
    Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
    SP2-0667: Message file sp1(lang).msb file not found
    SP2-0750: You may need to set your ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
    However the oracle_env.sh states that ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe which is the correct path (at least I think it is). So does anyone know what the issue is?
    Thanks

    I've checked all of the log files in the log directory and there doesn't seem to have been any errors in them.That's good. So we can assume most things worked as intended.
    Path looks wrong... But no idea how it got to be wrong or how to fix it.It does. Did you execute the following from Step 9)
    echo "" >>./.profile
    echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profileThis should set up your environment as needed. In the guide, this had been done for the "oracle" user only. If you use a different account, you'll have to either source or include that environment script as well.
    Please also check whether it has been created correctly by running
    cat /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.shThe output should read
    export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe
    export ORACLE_SID=XE
    export NLS_LANG=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/nls_lang.sh`
    export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATHThough possibly not mandatory, you could add
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/libto that script. This will set the library path to include the oracle libraries, such as client libraries.
    LANG-settings are okay, by the way.

  • SQL*PLUS - remove output 'PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.'

    Hi,
    When I use SQL*PLUS to call a PLSQL procedure, it will always output text: 'PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.' when the PLSQL procedure completes.
    I have a requirement to not display this message output. In SQL*PLUS how do you turn this off?

  • SQL plus pop up message dialog

    Dear all,
    Did anyone come across any experience like that:
    When I execute a SQL statment that may need return a several thousands line in SQLPlus,
    If I used SQLPlus version 3.3.4.00 (Oracle 7), a pop up message dialog will come up like
    "Query is Executing ..." and a "Cancel" button is available in dialog box also.
    However, If I used SQLPlus version 8.0.5 (Oracle 8 or laster), this pop up won't show up anymore.
    The pop up is useful if I need to break the process and I just want to know if anything is required to configured on latest SQLPlus to activate this!
    Thanks and Regards
    Kenneth

    The removal of the cancel dialog was an unfortunate side effect
    of an internal rewrite of SQL*Plus code in 8.0. The fundamental
    problem still persists into 9i and it is not until 9i release 2
    (being touted on www.oracle.com) that the iSQL*Plus web interface
    (though not the SQL*Plus GUI on Windows) has a cancel button.
    This was spoken about on the OTN iSQL*Pus discussion forum a
    while back.

    #Syntax: 3-64
    #Default: ADDRS in preferred_servers
    # Determines how many connections an ONames client may have open at one time.
    # Clients will ordinarily keep connections to servers open once they are

    #names.message_pool_start_size = 10
    #Syntax: 3-256
    #Default: 10
    # Determines the initial number of messages allocated in the client's message
    # pool. This pool provides the client with pre-allocated messages to be used
    # for requests to ONames servers. Messages which are in the pool and unused

    # - Client Cache (ONRSD) ---------------------------------------------
    names.addresses = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=ONAMES))
    Syntax: ADDR
    Default: (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=ONAMES))
    Address on which the client cache listens (is available to clients).
    Any valid TNS address is allowed. The default should be used if at
    all possible; clients have this entry hardwired as the first line
    of their server-list file (sdns.ora). If the address is set to a
    non-default value the client's preferred_servers parameter should
    be set to include the client-cache address first.
    names.authority_required = False
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    Determines whether system querys (for the root etc) require Authoritative
    answers.
    names.auto_refresh_expire = 259200
    Syntax: Number of seconds, 60-1209600
    Default: 259200
    This is the amount of time (in seconds) the server will cache the addresses
    of servers listed in server-list file (sdns.ora). When this time expires the
    server will issue another query to the servers in those regions to refresh
    the data.
    names.auto_refresh_retry = 180
    Syntax: Number of seconds, 60-3600
    Default: sec.     180
    This set how often the server will retry when the auto_refresh query fails.
    names.cache_checkpoint_file = cache.ckp
    Syntax: filename
    Default: $ORACLE_HOME/network/names/ckpcch.ora
    Specifies the name of the operating system file to which the Names Server
    writes its foreign data cache.
    names.cache_checkpoint_interval = 7200
    Syntax: Number of seconds, 10-259200
    Default: 0 (off)
    Indicates the interval at which a Names Server writes a checkpoint of its
    data cache to the checkpoint file.
    names.default_forwarders=
    (FORWARDER_LIST=
    (FORWARDER=
    (NAME= rootserv1.world)
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(PORT=42100)(HOST=roothost))))
    Syntax: Name-Value/address_list
    Default: NULL
    A list (in NV form) of the addresses of other servers which should be used to
    forward querys while in default_forwarder (slave) mode. NAME is the global
    names for the server to which forwards whould be directed, and ADDRESS is its
    address.
    names.default_forwarders_only = True
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    When set to true this server will use the servers listed in default_forwarders
    to forward all operations which involve data in foreign regions. Otherwise it
    will use the servers defined in the server-list file (sdns.ora) in addition
    to any defined in the default_forwarders parameter.
    names.log_directory = /oracle/network/log
    Syntax: directory
    Default: $ORACLE_HOME/network/log
    Indicates the name of the directory where the log file for Names Server
    operational events are written.
    names.log_file = names.log
    Syntax: filename
    Default: names.log
    The name of the output file to which Names Server operational events are
    written.
    names.log_stats_interval = 3600
    Syntax: Number of seconds, 10-ub4max
    Default: sec.     0 (off)
    Specifies the number of seconds between statistical entries in log file.
    names.log_unique = False
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    If set to true the server will guarantee that the log file will have a unique
    name which will not overwrite any existing files (note that log files are
    appended to, so log information will not be lost if log_unique is not true).
    names.max_open_connections = 10
    Syntax: 3-64
    Default: 10
    Specifies the number of connections that the Names Server can have open at any
    given time. The value is generated as the value 10 or the sum of one
    connection for listening, five for clients, plus one for each foreign domain
    defined in the local administrative region, whichever is greater. Any
    operation which requires the server to open a network connection will use
    an already open connection if it is available, or will open a connection
    if not. Higher settings will save time and cost network resources; lower
    settings save network resources, cost time.
    names.max_reforwards = 2
    Syntax: 1-15
    Default: 2
    The maximum number of times the server will attempt to forward a certain
    operation.
    names.message_pool_start_size = 24
    Syntax: 3-256
    Default: 10
    Determines the initial number of messages allocated in the server's message
    pool. This pool provides the server with pre-allocated messages to be used
    for incoming or outgoing messages (forwards). Messages which are in the pool
    and unused may be reused. If a message is needed and no free messages are
    available in the pool more will be allocated.
    names.no_modify_requests = False
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    If set to true, the server will refuse any operations which modify the
    data in its region (it will still save foreign info in the cache which is
    returned from foreign querys).
    names.password = 625926683431AA55
    Syntax: encrypted string
    Default: NULL
    If set the server will require that the user provide a password in his
    namesctl session (either with sqlnet.ora:namesctl.server_password or 'set
    password') in order to do 'sensitive' operations, like stop, restart, reload.
    This parameter is generally set in encrypted form, so it can not be set
    manually.
    names.reset_stats_interval = 3600
    Syntax: 10-ub4max
    Default: 0 (off)
    Specifies the number of seconds during which the statistics collected by the
    Names Servers should accumulate. At the frequency specified, they are reset
    to zero. The default value of 0 means never reset statistics.
    names.trace_directory = /oracle/network/trace
    Syntax: directory
    Default: $ORACLE_HOME/network/trace
    Indicates the name of the directory to which trace files from a Names Server
    trace session are written.

    Indicates the level at which the Names Server is to be traced.
    Available Values:
         0 or OFF - No trace output
         4 or USER - User trace information
         10 or ADMIN - Administration trace information
         16 or SUPPORT - WorldWide Customer Support trace information
    names.trace_mask = (200,201,202,203,205,206,207)
    Syntax: list of numbers
    Default: NULL
    Internal mechanism to control trace behavior.
    names.trace_unique = True
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    Indicates whether each trace file has a unique name, allowing multiple trace
    files to coexist. If the value is set to ON, a process identifier is appended
    to the name of each trace file generated.

    HI,
    can you please try it like first entrying into the sqlplus and then enter the username and password..
    Also it should be sqlplus "sys/password as sysdba"

  • ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve... - sql plus works, env vars are set...

    Hi,
    I am getting this error message in my ASP.Net apps (namespace Oracle.DataAccess.Client) and any app that tries to use the Oracle Provider for OLE DB.
    Error:
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    Here is what I do know:
    - My ORACLE_HOME is set to C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\
    - My path has C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\network\admin;C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\bin;
    - I installed Oracle Client 11g, previously 10g was working but one of the devs wanted to upgrade
    - I can connect using sqlplus user/pass@tnsname
    - I can test tns entries successfully in Net Manager
    Here is what I don't know:
    - When using OLE connections, why does Oracle Provider for OLE DB not pick up on the environment variables - sql plus seems to, that's why it works.
    - In ASP.Net, why does the connection object from Oracle.DataAccess.Client not pick up the correct environment variables?
    - How do the Oracle drivers pick up the location of the TNS names?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Hi,
    What "environment variables" are you referring to that you have set? You shouldnt have to set any, unless you're talking about TNS_ADMIN just to avoid having to configure multiple TNSNames.ora's if you have multiple homes.
    Your PATH doesnt need to include OH\network\admin, but thats not hurting anything. PATH is for dll loading, not for finding config files.
    Do you still have 10g installed? When you connect using sqlplus user/pass@tnsname, are you using 11g sqlplus? Or is that coming from the 10g client? Multiple homes arent aware of each other, so if you have a 10g home and an 11g home, you'd have to configure tnsnames.ora for both (or use tns_admin).
    As far as I know, the client software picks up tnsnames.ora by checking:
    1) the local working directory
    2) the tns_admin directory
    3) the network\admin directory of the client home being used.
    Hope it helps,
    Greg

    any ideas?

    The TNS-12154 (ORA-12154) error appears when SQL*Net cannot find the alias specified for a connection in the TNSNAMES.ORA file or other naming adapter.
    Since we can clearly see the XE entry in your TNSNAMES.ORA file from your further post, the message implies that you are not using the TNSNAMES.ORA that contains the entry, or something is changing the lookup so the entry is not found.
    Using a different TNSNAMES.ORA can occur under the following situations:
    1) You have a TNS_ADMIN environment variable or registry entry that points somewhere other than this TNSNAMES.ORA
    2) You are on Windows NT and are using a SQLPLus that is in a different ORACLE_HOME. The WIndows environment forces the use of the networking subsystem in the ORACLE_HOME as the client program (such as SQLPLUS), which defaults to the TNSNAMES.ORA in the home as the client.
    Things I would check:
    - is there another TNSNAMES.ORA anywhere on the system
    - is there a system environment variable called TNS_ADMIN, or is that string found in the registry
    - is there possibly a second SQLPlus.exe (even on a networked drive) that migt be called before the XE - supplied SQLPLUS
    It is also possible to have a SQLNET.ORA impacting the way TNSNAMES.ORA is used. If all else checks out, we should look at the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\sqlnet.ora in detail as well.
    By the way, the Oracle Network Administration docco has two whole chapters devoted to troubleshooting networking issues, from initial config through data errors in the various config files.

  • Sql*plus, instant client problems

    I want to connect a linux machine x86 to a server with oracle 9i. So first I wanted to install instant client and I did as is said in the page for basic, sql*plus and SDK packages, but it doesn't work. When I executed ./sqlplus user/pass@connectionchannel in the linux machine, it crashes, without error message.
    If I install the windows version and try the connection from a windows machine it works, so the oracle server is working, and there is no problem with the firewalls and so.
    I have tried to execute fftrace (to have a kind of log of what programs does)fftrace ./sqlplus user/pass@conn and i saw a lot of lines I paste bellow. I think the last one is read from socket, but I'm not sure and i don't know what to do. I don't know if I can connect without the instant client. I will be very thankfull for any idea you can give me, i don't know what to try.

  • Im getting this error after trying to laounch SQL*Plus

    Hallo, guys!
    Help me on this one. I'm new to Oracle on Windows 2000 Professional
    Im getting this error after trying to laounch SQL*Plus
    Error 6 Initializing SQL*Plus
    Message file spl<lang>.msb not found
    SP2-0750:You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle Software directory
    Urgent please respond
    Thanks

    Verify the contents of the following subkey in your Windows2000 registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_YOUR_HOME_NAME
    Your Windows 2000 registry must contain several minimum parameters, defined as registry entries inside the above subkey (See http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/win.102/b14304/registry.htm#i1006544). One of them is ORACLE_HOME, which could have been accidentally removed or changed. ORACLE_HOME must contain the home OS path to the SQL*Plus executable in your machine (For example, C:\Oracle\OraDB10g). I tried changing the name of the ORACLE_HOME registry entry in my machine and received the same exact messages you did when launching SQL*Plus.
    In your OS, verify also Control Panel > System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > System Variables > Path, and make sure the above ORACLE_HOME's path is included in the Path variable (preferably in the starting position)

  • Oracle 10 & sql plus

    Hello,
    I am a virgin with oracle and was asked by my boss to set up a simple oracle database network for student to play with.
    I installed oracle 10 on a computer with XP pro and the firewall is off. I assigned a static ip
    I installed the client SQL plus
    I’m getting an error message when using sql
    User name: system
    Password: admin
    Host string: orc1
    error message: ora 12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    I don't need anything fancy all professors just wants the students to be able to connect to the data base and run a few commands. Even if they login in as system.
    I did check all the services and they are running and I changed them to automatic..
    thanks

    OK. You probably want to create a tnsnames.ora entry on the client that points to the database. You can use the Net Configuration Assistant for this if you would like.
    What error do you get when you try to connect to the database from the database server itself? Do you get the same error? Or a different one?
    What do you get when you type
    lsnrctl statusat the command line on the server?

  • SQL*Plus Upgrade Questions [Help!!]

    Hello,
    Our project is using Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.3.0 database and Oracle Dev Tools 6i Patch 3 (Form/Report Builder 6.0.8.12.1).
    The SQL*Plus version that comes with this version is 8.0.6.0.0. We would like to upgrade to version 8.1.7.0.0. without having to upgrade the entire tool set [don't ask me why- politics ;)]. How can I do this? Is it even possible? I found some documentation that said all that was required for SQL Plus version 8.1.7.0.0 was Oracle 8i 8.1.7.0.0 database, which we have.
    I grabbed Dev Tools 6i Patch 10 from MetaLink and installed in a seperate directory from one that our developers use as a test [for other unrelated issues]. Well, Patch 10 also comes with SQL Plus verison 8.0.6.0.0, even though it came out in early 2002, well after version 8.1.7.0.0 was released.
    One of our test boxes has Oracle 9i iSuite installed, which does have SQL Plus 8.1.7.0.0. As a lark, I tried various was of simply moving its version (the .exe) and related .dlls to our existing test Dev 6i bin directory. No luck- all sorts of bizarre error messages. After I got through all the .dlls errors, I now get a
    "The procedure entry point OCIUserCallbackRegister could not be located in the dll OCI.dll", even though the updated OCI.dll is in the bin.
    I assume this all means that to upgrade from SQL Plus 8.0.6.0.0 to 8.1.7.0.0 it has to be installed [and not simply dropped]. Since the latest version of our tools [Dev 6i Patch 10] only has version 8.0.6.0.0, how can I install it?
    HELP!!
    Thanks in advance,

  • Problem logging on to SQl *Plus

    Hi
    I have installed Oracle 8i Personal Edition Release 8.1.7 on my computer where I have the operating system Windows 98. When I am trying to log on to the database through SQL*Plus, I get the following message: "ORA-12541: TNS: no bugging/listener " (I get the message in Swedish so I hope I have translated it correct in English)
    kindly help me out to resolve this problem.
    Thanks in advance
    Anna

    From the error messages documentation:
    Cause: The connection request could not be completed because the listener is not running.
    Action: Ensure that the supplied destination address matches one of the addresses used by the listener. Compare the TNSNAMES.ORA entry with the appropriate LISTENER.ORA file (or TNSNAV.ORA if the connection is to go by way of an Interchange). Start the listener on the remote machine.
