Testing stored procedure using sql plus

I'm attempt to create and test a stored procedure in sql plus.
I enter:
create procedure sp_getconfiguration(mygroup in char, myparameter in char, myvalue in out char) as begin select configvalue into myvalue from tblconfiguration where configgroup = mygroup and configparameter = myparameter; end;/
I get a procedure created. response by when I type:
variable myval char
call sp_getconfiguration('Language','Enabled', myval);
I get the following error:
error at line 1:
ora-06576: not a valid function or procedure name
I can go into DBA studio and see the procedure listed and can compile it and it says "valid". I have tried granting execute permission to public and trying it again under sql plus and nothing seems to help.
I'm also attempting to run this same procedure from VB and get an invalid column name error from there.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Thanks for all your help. What I actually called product support and they helped me solve it. But what I found out is that if using oracle 8.1.# you have to invoke the stored procedure without the "call " in front of the procedure name. For instance.
sp_getconfiguation()
In version 9.# it appears that you use the call in front of the procedure. Dah! So if anyone else is having this problem. That is the solution. Thanks anyway.

Debugging procedure or packages using sql*plus reg

Dear all,
I am new to oracle, can any body provide me some information related to this below issues.
a) suppose i have created a procedure using sql*plus tool then next day i wanted to debug or modify my stored procedure.
Then what could approach using sql*plus
b) same case if we consider for packages then for any specific stored procedure or functions what would be the approach to debug or modify using sql*plus
yours cordination will be highly appreciate
Thanks n regards

Using SQL*Plus you can debug your stored pl/sql code only adding some "prints" in your code:
SQL> create or replace procedure test is
2 begin
3 dbms_output.put_line('starting...');
4 --do something here
5 dbms_output.put_line('done step 1');
6 --do something else here
7 dbms_output.put_line('end procedure...');
8 end;
9 /
Procedura creata.
SQL> set serverout on
SQL> exec test
starting...
done step 1
end procedure...

Can v read a client text file using SQL*plus??

We have a requirement like this: We need to read a text file to find spelling mistakes. Problem is the file has to be always moved to the DB machine, which is a Linux box and then run a stored procedure which uses UTL_FILE. Now in order to show the spelling mistakes of the file the user will have to again copy the file with the spelling mistakses (output file) from Linux to Windows.
Is there a way to do it using SQL*Plus, where the text file is in the client machine???? Then users don't have to copy the file to and from the Linux box.

SQL*Plus is a client software and whatever code you write using SQL*Plus, it ultimately run on the server. So the answers to your question is "no".

Improve the performance in stored procedure using sql server 2008 - esp where clause in very big table - Urgent

Hi,
I am looking for inputs in tuning stored procedure using sql server 2008. l am new to performance tuning in sql,plsql and oracle. currently facing issue in stored procedure - need to increase the performance by code optmization/filtering the records using where clause in larger table., the requirement is Stored procedure generate Audit Report which is accessed by approx. 10 Admin Users typically 2-3 times a day by each Admin users.
It has got CTE ( common table expression ) which is referred 2 time within SP. This CTE is very big and fetches records from several tables without where clause. This causes several records to be fetched from DB and then needed processing. This stored procedure is running in pre prod server which has 6gb of memory and built on virtual server and the same proc ran good in prod server which has 64gb of ram with physical server (40sec). and the execution time in pre prod is 1min 9seconds which needs to be reduced upto 10secs or so will be the solution. and also the exec time differs from time to time. sometimes it is 50sec and sometimes 1min 9seconds..
Pl provide what is the best option/practise to use where clause to filter the records and tool to be used to tune the procedure like execution plan, sql profiler?? I am using toad for sqlserver 5.7. Here I see execution plan tab available while running the SP. but when i run it throws an error. Pl help and provide inputs.
Thanks,
Viji

You've asked a SQL Server question in an Oracle forum. I'm expecting that this will get locked momentarily when a moderator drops by.
Microsoft has its own forums for SQL Server, you'll have more luck over there. When you do go there, however, you'll almost certainly get more help if you can pare down the problem (or at least better explain what your code is doing). Very few people want to read hundreds of lines of code, guess what's it's supposed to do, guess what is slow, and then guess at how to improve things. Posting query plans, the results of profiling, cutting out any code that is unnecessary to the performance problem, etc. will get you much better answers.

How to execute the parametered stored procedure in sql *plus ?

how to execute the parametered stored procedure in sql *plus ?

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SMS_SELECTMPLOYEE

thanks & regards
mk_mur

Oh, sorry... making many reading-too-fast mistakes today...
You can't declare date variables in SQL*Plus (seel help var), but you can cast to varchar2:
TEST> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SMS_SELECTMPLOYEE (empDOB out date, empEmpName out varchar2) IS
2 d date := sysdate;
3 e varchar2(10) := 'bob';
4 begin
5 empdob := d;
6 empempname := e;
7 end;
8 /
Procedure created.
TEST> var d varchar2(30)
TEST> var n varchar2(30)
TEST> call SMS_SELECTMPLOYEE(:d,:n);
Call completed.
TEST> print d n

Cannot connect to database using SQL*Plus

Hi, I have Oracle 10g XE installed in my labtop and I cannot connect using SQL*Plus.
I can connect using the broser User Interface though, which I was able to do after doing the following procedure to change the password of the sys account:
-     open a command prompt
-     - type sqlplus
-     On the “Enter user-name” line, type /as sysdba
-     On the SQL> prompt, type alter user sys identified by NewPassword;
But the thing is that even though I am able to connect using sys/NewPassword from my browser UI, I dont get the same result when doing it using the SQL prompt.
What I am trying to do is this:
SQL> connect sys/NewPassword
Then I get first a warming saying that I need to use either sysdba or sysoper to connect to the system account, but neither of those work.
Can anyone advice me on this matter?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that.
I run the command to list the usernames on the database and I got SYS and SYSTEM in the list. But again, when I try to use SYS with a password that I know is working because I can access it through the browser UI, it doesnt work. It seems like this sys is different to the sys I used in the UI.
I dont know if I am explaining myself correclty... In the Browser UI I use sys, and a password and I get connected to the sys account. However, if I try to use the same sys.password combination from my sqlplus prompt, I get error messages
Does this make sense at all?

Inserting Special Character using SQL*Plus

I am trying to insert special character like ® using SQL*Plus but it is inserting a .(dot) instead.
Environment:

That's the reason I use ASCII values always for special characters.

11g: can connet using SQL*PLUS, not with TOAD

Hi
I run into a problem with TOAD. I can't connect with my 11g database using TOAD. I don't get any messages it just gives me a little waiticon for a split second and then nothing happens. I can however connect to my 10g database using TOAD. Using SQL*Plus I can connect to both.
I use TOAD 8.6. Do I need a newer version maybe??...

I can connect like:
hr/pw@xe
or
hr/pw@O11R1
or directly, no problem. I can connect from SQLplus to both databases any way I want

Can I use SQL *Plus 11.1.0.7.0 to connect Oracle Express 10g

Hi guys:
I download "Oracle 11g ODAC *11.1.0.7.20* with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio", trying to use SQL *plus to see if configuration is alright.
But after entering account/pwd, I got a error:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
What is wrong with my environment?
Thanks,

Hi EdStevens,
Following the instructions in previous post, I can connect with SQL plus (the database is on the same box* as your sqlplus client); I just enter sqlplus in windows console.
In addition, i am still curious about how SQL plus connect to a remote* box. Could you shed more light on that?SQLPlus connects to a remote db the same way any other app does. After all, sqlplus is just another client app.
It's all in the connect string. So say, at a command prompt you enter
$> sqlplus scott/tiger@mydbso in the above example, 'scott' is the user, 'tiger' is the password, and 'mydb' is the tns service name. Of course, the OS passes all that to sqlplus as a command line parameter. Internally, sqlplus makes a call to the tns layer and passes it the connect information it has. TNS will take a look at the tnsnames.ora file and find an entry for 'mydb', and from there it will get the name or ip address of the host server, a port number, and a service name. That information will be passed on down the network stack for routing. (If a name was provided instead of an ip address, the OS network stack will use whatever means are at its disposal - a hosts file, a dns lookup, or whatever, to get an ip address). The request will arrive at the specified host and placed on the specified port. If everything was configured correctly, there will be an oracle listener process monitoring that port. It will pick up the request and see if it recognizes the service name. If it does, it will spawn a user server process on a different port to complete the connection, then get out of the way and continue listening for more requests.
This is how it happens most of the time. There are a lot of other variants, but that's the gist of it.
More information can be found in the fine documentation at tahiti.oracle.com.

Help Using SQL*Plus Format Commands (like TTITLE) in Packages

Where (within a package) can/should SQL*Plus format commands such as TTITLE, COLUMN & BREAK be coded?

A package is coded in PL/SQL.
TTITLE, COLUMN and BREAK are SQL*Plus commands, they cannot be used in PL/SQL.
If you want to output data (using dbms_output) in your package, you'll have to implement the features yourself. But probably just using SQL*Plus is better in your case.

Rob.
