Oracle database examples

I am looking for various examples of oracle databases to see how the backup and recovery method was designed for them. Such as: Large company unlimited resources 100GB database needs to be up 24x7. Or small company limited resources needs to be up 9x7. Online backup during the day offline backup after closing. I want to see how they setup the control files, redolog files, using tape as apposed to disk.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you

Oracle 11g Database Examples when to install Pre(or)Post DBUA?

Hi Friends,
I am performing Oracle DB Upgrade from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3
I want to install Oracle 11g Examples also so when can i install it , Pre (or) Post DBUA (or) both are supported?
Plan A:
1) Install Oracle 11.2.0.3 on new home
2)Install Oracle Database Examples 11.2.0.3 on the above home
3)Invoke dbua to upgrade 11.2.0.1 Database
(or)
Plan B:
1) Install Oracle 11.2.0.3 on new home
2)Invoke dbua to upgrade 11.2.0.1 Database to 11.2.0.3
3)Install Oracle Database Examples 11.2.0.3 on the above home
4) Anything to be performed on the Database(like catpatch...) since examples is installed post DB upgrade?
(or)
Both Plan A and Plan B is supported
Regards,
DB

Hi;
1) Install Oracle 11.2.0.3 on new home (software only)
2)Install Oracle Database Examples 11.2.0.3 on the above home
3)Invoke dbua to upgrade 11.2.0.1 Database
AFAIK you can also install it after upgrade

What content of Oracle Database 10g Companion CD Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0)

Hi
I want to download the 10G Standard Edition , Now i want to know what is content of
Oracle Database 10g Companion CD Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) ?
is it required for OCA exam preparation ?

The documentation site (http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1 for 10gR2) provides 3 sets of installation documents:
- server
- companion
- client
Each document describes what is on the CD. Right at the front. In summary:
Oracle HTTP Server
Oracle HTML DB
Oracle JDBC Development Drivers
Oracle SQLJ
Oracle Database Examples
Oracle Text Supplied Knowledge Bases
Oracle Workflow Server
Oracle Ultra Search
JPublisher
Oracle Workflow middle-tier components
It also contains the Java-based Oracle Enterprise Manager.
You do not need it to study for the OCA. However, having samples that work and ready made data is very handy.
Step 1, or possibly even step '0' of the OCA training should always be 'how to use the documentation'. At least, that's the way I teach the OCA/OCP courses.

Passing Array of java objects to and from oracle database-Complete Example

Hi all ,
I am posting a working example of Passing Array of java objects to and from oracle database . I have struggled a lot to get it working and since finally its working , postinmg it here so that it coudl be helpful to the rest of the folks.
First thinsg first
i) Create a Java Value Object which you want to pass .
create or replace and compile java source named Person as
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Person implements SQLData
private String sql_type = "PERSON_T";
public int person_id;
public String person_name;
public Person () {}
public String getSQLTypeName() throws SQLException { return sql_type; }
public void readSQL(SQLInput stream, String typeName) throws SQLException
sql_type = typeName;
person_id = stream.readInt();
person_name = stream.readString();
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput stream) throws SQLException
stream.writeInt (person_id);
stream.writeString (person_name);
ii) Once you created a Java class compile this class in sql plus. Just Copy paste and run it in SQL .
you should see a message called "Java created."
iii) Now create your object Types
CREATE TYPE person_t AS OBJECT
EXTERNAL NAME 'Person' LANGUAGE JAVA
USING SQLData (
person_id NUMBER(9) EXTERNAL NAME 'person_id',
person_name VARCHAR2(30) EXTERNAL NAME 'person_name'
iv) Now create a table of Objects
CREATE TYPE person_tab IS TABLE OF person_t;
v) Now create your procedure . Ensure that you create dummy table called "person_test" for loggiing values.
create or replace
procedure give_me_an_array( p_array in person_tab,p_arrayout out person_tab)
as
l_person_id Number;
l_person_name Varchar2(200);
l_person person_t;
l_p_arrayout person_tab;
errm Varchar2(2000);
begin
     l_p_arrayout := person_tab();
for i in 1 .. p_array.count
loop
     l_p_arrayout.extend;
     insert into person_test values(p_array(i).person_id, 'in Record '||p_array(i).person_name);
     l_person_id := p_array(i).person_id;
     l_person_name := p_array(i).person_name;
     l_person := person_t(null,null);
     l_person.person_id := l_person_id + 5;
     l_person.person_name := 'Out Record ' ||l_person_name ;
     l_p_arrayout(i) := l_person;
end loop;
p_arrayout := l_p_arrayout;
     l_person_id := p_arrayout.count;
for i in 1 .. p_arrayout.count
loop
insert into person_test values(l_person_id, p_arrayout(i).person_name);
end loop;
commit;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
     errm := SQLERRM;
     insert into person_test values(-1, errm);
     commit;
end;
vi) Now finally create your java class which will invoke the pl/sql procedure and get the updated value array and then display it on your screen>Alternatively you can also check the "person_test" tbale
import java.util.Date;
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class ArrayDemo
public static void passArray() throws SQLException
Connection conn = getConnection();
ArrayDemo a = new ArrayDemo();
Person pn1 = new Person();
pn1.person_id = 1;
pn1.person_name = "SunilKumar";
Person pn2 = new Person();
pn2.person_id = 2;
pn2.person_name = "Superb";
Person pn3 = new Person();
pn3.person_id = 31;
pn3.person_name = "Outstanding";
Person[] P_arr = {pn1, pn2, pn3};
Person[] P_arr_out = new Person[3];
ArrayDescriptor descriptor =
ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor( "PERSON_TAB", conn );
ARRAY array_to_pass =
new ARRAY( descriptor, conn, P_arr);
OracleCallableStatement ps =
(OracleCallableStatement )conn.prepareCall
( "begin give_me_an_array(?,?); end;" );
ps.setARRAY( 1, array_to_pass );
     ps.registerOutParameter( 2, OracleTypes.ARRAY,"PERSON_TAB" );
     ps.execute();
     oracle.sql.ARRAY returnArray = (oracle.sql.ARRAY)ps.getArray(2);
Object[] personDetails = (Object[]) returnArray.getArray();
Person person_record = new Person();
for (int i = 0; i < personDetails.length; i++) {
          person_record = (Person)personDetails;
          System.out.println( "row " + i + " = '" + person_record.person_name +"'" );
                    public static void main (String args[]){
     try
                         ArrayDemo tfc = new ArrayDemo();
                         tfc.passArray();
     catch(Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
          public static Connection getConnection() {
     try
                         Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
                         return DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<HostNanem>>:1523:VIS",
                         "username", "password");
     catch(Exception SQLe) {
                    System.out.println("IN EXCEPTION BLOCK ");
                    return null;
and thats it. you are done.
Hope it atleast helps people to get started. Comments are appreciated. I can be reached at ([email protected]) or [email protected]
Thanks

Hi Sunil,
I've a similar situation where I'm trying to insert Java objects in db using bulk insert. My issue is with performance for which I've created a new thread.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5270260&tstart=30
I ran into your code and looked into it. You've used the Person object array and directly passing it to the oracle.sql.ARRAY constructor. Just curios if this works, cos my understanding is that you need to create a oracle.sql.STRUCT out of ur java object collection and pass it to the ARRAY constructor. I tried ur way but got this runtime exception.
java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert to internal representation: JavaBulkInsertNew$Option@10bbf9e
                    at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)

                    at oracle.sql.ARRAY.<init>(ARRAY.java:152)
                    at JavaBulkInsertNew.main(JavaBulkInsertNew.java:76)
Here's a code snippet I used :
Object optionVal[] =   {optionArr[0]};   // optionArr[0] is an Option object which has three properties
oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor empArrayDescriptor = oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("TT_EMP_TEST",conn);
ARRAY empArray = new ARRAY(empArrayDescriptor,conn,optionVal);If you visit my thread, u'll see that I'm using STRUCT and then pass it to the ARRAY constructor, which works well, except for the performance issue.
I'll appreciate if you can provide some information.

Shamik

How to store image in the oracle database 10.2. using File Maker 10.

Hi.,
I want to store image, media file in the oracle database using File Maker as a front end.
I connect Oracle using odbc from file maker. There are table and in that table there a column "pict" of blob type. but this column is not showing in the file maker.
2. Here I can not change the data type of any column.
Now how to store images in the oracle table using odbc or any other tool.
Regards,
Shyam

I wrote an example for my students, you can find it here. It's using PHP as the front end but all you need to do is know how and leverage the stored procedures. All code is downloadable in zip files from the blog.

Oracle Database 11gR1 32-bit upgrade to 11gr2 64-bit

Hello All,
My current server is having following configuration:
OS               : RHEL 4.6 32 bit
Product         : Oracle EBS 11i
DB               : 11gR1
Target machine:
OS               : RHEL 5.8 64 bit
I want to convert my current single node EBS 11i to multi-node (two node) architecture. We have to migrate our 11gR1 over 64 bit machine.
I was trying to create create a 32 bit instance over new target server through rapid clone. But it is not supported to install 32 bit 11g over 64 bit OS, so I am now taking new path to do the same, trying to upgrade 11gR1 32 bit database directly to 11gr2 64 bit. Please suggest me appropriate procedure to perform it. Any Oracle Document over the same would be wonderful. I tried to search over Metalink but with no success.
Kindly share your experience if anyone here performed the same or similar.
Regards
RanjanS

You can get 11gR1 64-bit download this way:
Previous Database Release Software
Oracle Database 10.2 and 11.1 are no longer available for download. The software is available as a media or FTP request for those customers who own a valid Oracle Database product license for any edition.
To request access to these releases, follow the instructions in Oracle Support Document 1071023.1 (Requesting Physical Shipment or Download URL for Software Media) from My Oracle Support.
NOTE: for Oracle Database 10.2, you should request 10.2.0.1 even if you want to install a later patch set. Once you install 10.2.0.1 you can then apply any 10.2 patch set. Similarly, for 11.1 request 11.1.0.6 which must be applied before installing 11.1.0.7. Patch sets can be downloaded from the Patches and Updates tab on My Oracle Support.
And about direct upgrade I have done that successfully for minor versions for example 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 so that might be possible also for 11.1. to 11.2 .

Can't mount oracle database on linux system

This is same as previous posting just added
e-mail and username info fo forum posting.
I am not able to mount an Oracle database.
I am new to Oracle and am working on an Oracle8i installation on an
Intel Linux Suse 6.3 platform. I am using only one harddrive and am
not using the 4 mount points as mentioned for efficiecy purposes in
the Oracle documentation..I am using the installation cd from Oracle8i
for Linux Starter Kit by Oracle Press. If anyone has this book they
can refer to pages 41-44 for the examples I followed.
As sysdba in sqplplus using the STARTUP command I can not Mount the
database -step 2 of the 3 stage process (Start, Mount and Open the
database) of opening an Oracle database.
I show the errors I encountered when I did the first 2 of the 3 steps
in the step-by-step mode (STARTUP NOMOUNT pfile=, ALTER DATABASE
MOUNT) in the sqlplus session and alert log respectively with startup
nomount and alter database mount for this sqlplus session.
Additionally I show the init.ora file lines referring to control file
which seem to be referred to by the sqlplus error messages and the
alert.log file. Perhaps some can give me some advice as what I can try
to fix this problem.
At the end of this e-mail I added several questions I had in regard to the control
files. Any help is appreciated.
Well, here are the sqlplus session results and its alert.log file:

init.ora control files
# define two control files by default
control_files = (ora_control1, ora_control2)
Here are my control file questions:
I need to know several points:
1) What are control files susposed to
contain and how would I recognize them?
I used the
unix find /usr/oracle \*ctl* -print
command to locate files with a ctl extension.
This resulted in about a dozen such files in
different directories as shown below:

but that is all that is said about it. Perhaps
you might know something more about it.
3) Would you recommend any good text for
Oracle DBA's, especially for the problem of the sort
that I am encountering?

It's probably not supported on RHEL5/Centos5/etc., but...
You can get the installer to function using the following steps:
- extract the cal_linux_*.tar.gz, and cd into the OracleCalendar_inst directory
In there is the actual installer, cal_linux.
- the cal_linux is shell script wrapped around some binary blobs. The installer's
problem is that Oracle is setting the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 environment
variable, which is a mistake on RHEL5. You need to make it not set that variable,
but you need to do so in a way that the size of the shell script does not change at all,
and none of the binary blobs are impacted.
- the approach I took was
mv cal_linux cal_linux.BAK
sed -e 's/LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5/LD_ASSUME_KERNEL= /g' < cal_linux.BAK > cal_linux
chmod a+rx cal_linux
cal_linux -i gui
Note: you must have exactly 5 spaces in the substitution part of the sed command, because you're replacing 5 characters (2.2.5), and the size of the shell script must not change.
If you do that, the installer should run (one warning from awk still) and you should be able to install the product.

Connecting to an Oracle database after clicking on a foi

Does anyone know how or have any examples on how to connect to an oracle database after clicking on a 'feature of interest' in MapViewer? I want to be able to click on a 'feature of interest' on the map, and have a list of records from an oracle table displayed using the identified key of the foi. I am able to create the feature of interest, and add the event listener for 'mouse click', but am unsure how to connect to the database at this point. I have been able to connect to the database in a different jsp, but not from here. Thank you.

1. Create a JSP page that does the database query. It should take the foi id as an input parameter.
2. In the foi mouse click listener, display the JSP page in iframe. The iframe can be placed outside the map or inside the info window. The function should do something like this.
function myClickListener(point, foi)
mapview.displayInfoWindow(point, "<iframe id='my_iframe_id' frameborder=0 width=300px height=400px />", 300, 400) ;
var myIframe = document.getElementById("my_iframe_id") ;
myIframe.src = "http://myhost/myjsp?key=" + foi.id ;
}

Retrieve data from a synonym in oracle database through db connect

Hi Everyone,
I have created certain synonym for some tables in oracle. I want to retrieve data from it through db connect but where through source system and then selecting database tables, only tables and views are available.
Synonyms are not available to create data sources and retrieve the data from it. Why is it so. Is this a limitation of db connect.
Can anyone please let me know about it.
Thanks,
Joshua.

Hi,
You want to import data from an external Oracle database into your BW 3.X. To do this, you can connect the external database to the BW 3.X release as a source system using the external database connect. BW 3.X here represents BW 3.0, BW 3.1 and BW 3.5 because in other (DB relevant) parts, all 3 versions are based on the same source code.
General information
The above function allows you to load data from an external Oracle database (not a BW database) into your BW 3.0 system.
There may also be constellations which cannot be used directly through the DB Connect access. However, it should be possible to find an adequate, customer-specific solution for most of these scenarios.
In such situations, the resulting work falls into the area of Consulting and cannot be handled via Support.
Successful implementation of a connection requires corresponding expertise and experience in the use of the source database in the areas:
                - Tools
                - SQL syntax
                - DB-specific functions
Corresponding knowledge of the source application is also required to ensure that semantically relevant data arrives in the BW system.
Procedure
You should execute the following steps to connect the source system (Q) to the BW system (BW):
Installing the client software on an BW application server
                     Of course, you only need to install the client software if you are using BW with a non-Oracle database.
                     Use the Oracle setup program on the database CD (runInstaller on Unix) to start the OracleInstaller. Follow the program instructions and the DB installation instructions to install the Oracle Client software on BW.
Testing connection setup from BW to Q
                     After you install the client software on BW, try to set up a connection from BW to the server on Q. You may need to adjust the tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora files for this, to introduce the Oracle systems (to which contact should be made) to BW. You can test the connection by executing the command "tnsping QDB" on BW to check whether the client has established contact to the QDB database on the Q system.
Creating a separate U user in Q
                     We recommend that you create a separate U user in Q for connection to BW. This means that authorization and administration questions can be solved centrally.
Displaying data sources in Q for the U user
                     To provide U data for users other than U, you can create views on other user tables as user U:
                     CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewname AS
                       SELECT * FROM QDB.tablename
                     You may have to grant SELECT privileges to user U in the QDB schema:
                        GRANT select ON QDB.tablename TO U
                     Of course, you can also restrict or reformat data in the view arrangement (for example, change from internal date format into the SAP date format). JOIN operations using several tables are also available.
                     !!! Synonyms do not yet work!!!
                     Synonyms that you can create as described below are another option for providing a complete table for the user U:
                       CREATE SYNONYM synoname FOR QDB.tablename
                     !!! Synonyms do not (yet) work!!!
                     After you have displayed the require data for user U, you can simply use
                       SELECT * FROM <view or table>
                     on the Q system to check which data is returned.
                     You can now open a link to Q as user U in the BW system with SQLPLUS and check, using the same SELECT, whether this data is also seen in the Oracle client. If this is not the case, there is probably a connection problem.
Creating a connection from BW to Q in BW
Including data sources of user U user in Q in BW.
Solution
Supported BW, Basis and BW 3.0B database versions, Basis 6.20 Support Package 2 (or higher)
      Oracle 8.1 (or higher, see below)
Possible problems
- Synonyms do not (yet) work!
Up to now, only tables and views have been used as data sources for the DB Connect from the R3 Basis. As soon as synonyms are also used in the Basis, you will be able to convert created views (or even replicated tables) to synonyms as a workaround.
With Basis 6.40 at the earliest, therefore as of BW 3.5, you will also be able to use synonyms. Until then, the following will help:
CREATE VIEW <view_on_synonym> AS SELECT * FROM <synonym>
- The source DB must have at least the release version of the BW DB.
Oracle only ensures the support of client-server links if the version of the client is not higher than that of the server. So if BW has Oracle version 8.1 and, as in the case of Dbconnect, is run as a client against the server of the source database, the source database must have at least release Oracle 8.1 or higher.
Of course, you have the option to install the Oracle client software of a lower version and then use this for the DB connect. This is also the procedure used to work with a DB connect on external databases of other vendors.
Furthermore, the implementation of the DBconnect function in BW uses SAP Basis functions. Specifications of Oracle 8.1 database catalogs are used here. The source database must therefore have at least Version 8.1.
- Oracle Client Software Version
If you want to connect from an Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, for the DB connect you naturally use the client software that you already installed on each application server.
If you want to connect from a non-Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, check item 3 of note 521230 to see which Oracle client software version is released with your BW R3 kernel and use this version.
- Date and time fields in Oracle and their conversion into SAP-compatible column formats
Example with a DATE field:
Since a SAP table does not have a DATE field (date values are NUMC(8) and time specifications are NUMC(6)), we will use the Oracle DBA_TABLES system table as an example.
    SQL> desc dba_tables;
The Oracle DBA_TABLES system table has a LAST_ANALYZED field. This is a DATE type field and is recognized as a date field of 7 characters by DBA_CONNECT. However, the import does not work because the DATE is a 7-byte conglomerate of "...century, year, month, date, hour, minute and second." (extract from the Oracle documentation).
To make this DATE field legible for DB connect, you must use the TO_CHAR function in a VIEW. This should display the following examples:
SQL> select LAST_ANALYZED from dba_tables
      where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The formatting used here is the default used implicitly by SQLPLUS.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'YYYYMMDD') as dat from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format YYYYMMDD and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a date.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'HH24MISS') as tim from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format HHMMSS and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a time.
You can use the following example for more detailed experiments:
SQL> select to_char(
       TO_DATE('03-FEB-2001 04:05:06','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
       'YY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS') as datim from dual;
with the result:
DATIM
01-02-03 04-05-06
When you create a VIEW and use the TO_CHAR function (or other functions), you should easily be able to avoid problems with the interpretation of date/time specifications (and other reformatting).
Details about the functions and the formats are contained in the Oracle documentation.
- Special characters
A words that contain special characters can only be imported correctly if the code pages in BW and in the source system are identical. If the code pages are not the same, DB Connect can be used if the characters to be imported appear under the first 127 characters of the character set.
The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for saving data using character sets with more than 256 characters (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, Khmer, Arabic, Cherokee, and so on) can cause the characters to become corrupt.
For questions concerning the code pages, also refer to the FAQ note 606359 and question/answer 19 that appears there.

How to insert an image file in Oracle database

hi
can you please tell me how to insert an image file into oracle database????
suppose there is one image file in c:\pictures\rose.jpg. how to insert that file into database? theoretically i know that will be BFILE type but i dont know how to insert that.
will be waiting for your reply........
thanks & regards,

Hello,
The easiest way to load a blob is to use SQL loader.
This example comes from the utilities guide:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'sample.dat'
INTO TABLE person_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
(name CHAR(20),
1 ext_fname FILLER CHAR(40),
2 "RESUME" LOBFILE(ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF)
Datafile (sample.dat)

Using AE(htmldb 2.0) as for reporting tool for other oracle databases.

Maybe I was mistaken, but when I first saw the HTMLDB demo's I saw this as a slick way to build a browser based reporting tool for the masses for quasi-ad-hoc reporting on some of our larger databases that currently have limited reporting capability, and also as a possible replacement for the many MSAccess applets we have.
I just got 2.0 installed and working on a 9i database and went through the basic tutorials, but I can't find much info on how to connect to other oracle databases.
Are my options as follows?:
create dblinks from the local database that houses htmldb to all the other databases?
or
install htmldb schemas on each database I want to access from htmldb?
or
I'll keep looking, but if any of you have any pointers or know of a tutorial that explains the best way to do this it would be greatly appreciated!
tia

As for question 1, yep, that's what I mean. Example:
In a schema in the App Express instance, create a user called "APP1_USER", and then
create view app1_user.people as select * from people@link_user@remotedb
As for the next question, using the built-in insert/update/delete processes will give you
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
among other errors. Apparently version 2.1 will fix this. See Cannot Update VARCHAR column in Remote DB
We address this problem by creating pl/sql APIs for DML, and then writing our own insert/update processes. Slows us down a little, but even with that, App Express remains a productive choice for us.
Another weird problem: auto-row fetch (built-in to HTML DB) doesn't work over db links when you have two columns for a primary key. Many ways around this, e.g. create sequence-populated primary key, create a view with single column that concatenates primary key column values (key1|key2)
Hope this helps!

Sending a mail from oracle database

Hi,
I have a requirement to send a mail from oracle database.I use UTL_TCP package for this.Although my procedure is executed successfully,i dont get the mails in my inbox.Please help me to figure out a solution.
Thanks in advance....

Hi, you must use UTL_SMTP package for send emails, it has more performance and features for debug. You must look the next code, this is a example for send emails.
DECLARE
c UTL_SMTP.CONNECTION;
PROCEDURE send_header(name IN VARCHAR2, header IN VARCHAR2) AS
BEGIN
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, name || ': ' || header || UTL_TCP.CRLF);
END;
BEGIN
c := UTL_SMTP.OPEN_CONNECTION('smtp-server.acme.com');
UTL_SMTP.HELO(c, 'foo.com');
UTL_SMTP.MAIL(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.RCPT(c, '[email protected]');
UTL_SMTP.OPEN_DATA(c);
send_header('From', '"Sender" <[email protected]>');
send_header('To', '"Recipient" <[email protected]>');
send_header('Subject', 'Hello');
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(c, UTL_TCP.CRLF || 'Hello, world!');
UTL_SMTP.CLOSE_DATA(c);
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);
EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_smtp.transient_error OR utl_smtp.permanent_error THEN
BEGIN
UTL_SMTP.QUIT(c);
EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_SMTP.TRANSIENT_ERROR OR UTL_SMTP.PERMANENT_ERROR THEN
NULL; -- When the SMTP server is down or unavailable, we don't have
-- a connection to the server. The QUIT call will raise an
-- exception that we can ignore.
END;
raise_application_error(-20000,
'Failed to send mail due to the following error: ' || sqlerrm);
END;
Also review the next link for get more information about the UTL_SMTP packege.
