Passing a variable from SQL*Plus to Korn

Sorry if this isn't the correct forum, not sure where to post this otherwise. And excuse the poor shell script programming - I have no excuse.
I have a shell script that generates another shell script to delete database related files. I have no problems getting the filenames for the datafiles or the control files or the redo logs (just for info its to clone and rename a prod database and we don't have RMAN in place yet).
I do have a problem with the spfile. I'm using this :
V_SPFILE=`sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" << EOF
set feedback off;
set pagesize 0;
select value
from v\\\$parameter
where name like 'spfile%';
exit;
EOF`
which passes "?/dbs/[email protected]" to V_SPFILE. Then later on in my script I'd like to do something like :
mv $V_SPILE OLD${V_SPFILE}${TDATE}
TDATE is todays date BTW.
Trouble is, the "?" is passed to the shell script. I know that I could put something like :
$V_SPFILE = $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfile${SID}.ora
as a global variable, but I want to be sure that the spfile that is in use is renamed.
So, how does one deal with the "?" passed to the shell script?

Having the same problem...getting variable values FROM captivate to my inserted .swf (not widgets).
I can set the value from the .swf to the captivate using Object(parent.parent.parent.parent).captivateVariable but not the other way around.
Very frustrating.
I hope someone answers your query.

Procedure call from SQL*Plus in Korn Shell Script

I am trying to excute a procedure from sqlplus, truncate_audit_table. I doesn't execute. If I do it manually
it executes. I have tried multiple ways, as below. This is inside a Korn Shell scripts that creates the procedure
and counts the aud$ table. All that works, but does not truncate the aud$ table. It does not do it, no error, just
passes it by. Does anybody know why?
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s / << EOF | tee -a ${LOG}
set feedback on
@/backup/oracle/orcl/audit/truncate_audit_table.sql
select count(*) from sys.aud$;
exec truncate_audit_table;
exit
EOF
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s / << EOF | tee -a ${LOG}
set feedback on
@/backup/oracle/orcl/audit/truncate_audit_table.sql
select count(*) from sys.aud$;
begin
truncate_audit_table;
end;
exit
EOF
This is the procedure that is being called:
create or replace procedure truncate_audit_table
as
begin
execute immediate 'truncate table sys.aud$';
end;
/

aud$ is owned by sys. You can see it does the count with or without the "\".
It creates the procedure under SYS , but does not execute it.
Truncate aud$ table...
Procedure created.
COUNT(*)

How to execute procedure returning data rows from sql plus

Hi,
I want to execute a stored procedure that returns data rows from sql plus. please let me know the syntax for the same.
Thanks,
YG

user13065317 wrote:
Even if i get the result set into the cursor, do i have to do normal fetch into all the coumn variables within a loop
But suppose no of columns in my result set varies depending on a parameter to the stored procedure.
Is there any straightforward way to retrieve all the data irrespective of no of columns in the result set.There is no such thing as a "+result set+". Oracle does not create a temporary data set in memory that contains the results of your query. What would happen if this result set is a million rows and is too large to fit into memory? Or there are a 100 clients each with a 100,000 row result set?
This is not scalable. You will be severely limited in the number and sizes of these "+result sets+" that can be created in server memory.
A cursor is in fact a "program" that is created by compiling the SQL source code that you provide. This source code is parsed and compiled into what Oracle calls an execution plan. This is nothing but a series of instructions that the cursor will execute in order to return the rows required.
Thus the result set is actually the output from a cursor (a program). Likewise, bind variables are the input parameters to this program.
All SQLs are parsed and compiled as cursors and stored in the SQL Shared Pool. Oracle gives you handle in return to use to address this cursor - bind values to it, execute it, describe the output structure returned by the cursor, and fetch the output from the cursor.
On the client side, this handle is used in different ways. In PL/SQL alone, this cursor handle can be used as an implicit cursor (you do not even see or use the cursor handle in your PL/SQL code). Or you can use a PL/SQL cursor variable. Or a DBMS_SQL cursor variable. Or a reference cursor variable.
Why so many different client structures for the very same SQL cursor handle returned by Oracle? Because to allow you, the programmer, all kinds of different features and flexibility.
The ref cursor feature is the ability to pass this cursor handle around, not only between PL/SQL code, but also from PL/SQL to the actual client process (Java. VB, SQL*Plus, TOAD, etc).
The primary thing to remember - irrespective of what the client calls this (e.g. ref cursor, SQL statement handle, etc), this all refers to the same SQL cursor in the Shared Pool. And that this SQL cursor is a program that outputs data, and not a result set in itself.

How to bind DATE variables in SQL*Plus

I have a stored procedure in a package that has a DATE OUT parameter
myPackage.myProcedure( outDate OUT DATE )
I am trying to test this from SQL*Plus
How do I specify a Bind variable for the outDate? The VARIABLE command does not allow DATE types?
If this was a CHAR type I could have done
VARIABLE myChar CHAR
BEGIN
myPackage.myProcedure( :myChar )
END;
PRINT myChar
How do I do this with DATE data types instead? I am using Oracle 8.1.7.

you should use VARCHR2 type with the minimum length that can store a value defined by your NLS_DATE_FORMAT
string. The returned date will be converted to a VARCAHR2 type and the size and format will depend on
your NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting.

Calling stored proc (with 2 IN and 3 OUT) - from SQL Plus

This is the signature of my stored proc:

This is what I am doing
execute myschema.myproc('abc123','02-MAY-2008');
What is wrong here? If someone could help. Thx!

Try something like this
var usr_name    varchar2(30)
var send_tmstmp varchar2(11)
var ret_value   number
var err_code    varchar2(10)
begin
:usr_name    := 'abc123';

Business problem:
I have created 2 databases in my computer. Both databases needs tablespaces created by a script. Tablespaces' datafiles (.dbf files) names are same for both database. Both database has it's own directory where it holds datafiles at the moment. At the moment the datafiles for Database1 are in folder something like "%ORACLE_HOME%"\oradata\%databasename1%\*.dbf, and second database has its datafiles in other folder, somewhere ""%ORACLE_HOME%"\oradata\%databasename1%\*.dbf". I want now the script to create tablespace called "INDX" with same datafile name "indx1.dbf" into both database. So into both mentioned folder the file "indx1.dbf" must be created by script. I think the script should do following:
1. get ORACLE_HOME.
2. connect to database "databasename1"
3. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Create TableSpace INDX....file=%ORACLE_HOME% || databasename1 || indx1.dbf"
4. connect to database "databasename2"
5. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Create TableSpace INDX....file=%ORACLE_HOME% || databasename2 || indx1.dbf"I don't have Oracle database near by anymore, so the code was pseudocode.
I don't understand how to use ?-shortcut.OK, my first impression is "why does this even NEED to be scripted? Creation of new tablespaces is usually a one-off operation.
But that aside how about this sqlplus command-line substitution variables. This example is in linux, but will work as well in Windows with the change of the way environment variables are referenced:

Execute a mapping deployed with OWB 9.0.4 from SQL*Plus

Hello,
I could execute a mapping designed with OWB 9.0.3 from SQL*Plus with the next sentence:
SQL> exec my_mapping.main;
But now, with OWB 9.0.4, mappings are deployed as functions (in 9.0.3 were deployed as procedures) and they need parameters.
Somebody know how I can execute deployed mappings with OWB 9.0.4 from SQL*Plus? I don't know the parameters I need to call a mapping.
Thanks in advance,
Pedro.

Well, I've solved the problem with roles but
I've executed the script called sqlplus_exec_template.sql and it fails at Stage 2 because the next sentence
l_audit_execution_id := wb_rt_api_exec.open(l_task_type, l_task_name, l_location_name);
returns me NULL.
It is not clear the value that the variable called l_location_name have to stored. The script explain that this variable store the physical name of the
location to which the task was deployed. I understand that this variable have to store the schema where the mapping was deployed. That's right?
So I called the script in this manner:
SQL> @sqlplus_exec_template OWBRUN904I OJBHT PLSQL MY_MAPPING "," "," ;
where OWBRUN904I is the name of the Runtime Repository Schema, OJBHT is the
schema where MY_MAPPING is deployed, PLSQL is the task type and MY_MAPPING is
the name of the mapping I've designed.
Can you tell me why the scripts fails?

Pedro

How to pass a variable from one class to another class?

Hi,
Is it possible to pass a variable from one class to another? For e.g., I need the value of int a for calculation purpose in method doB() but I get an error <identifier> expected. What does the error mean? I know, it's a very, very simple question but once I learn this, I promise to remember it forever. Thank you.
class A {
int a;
int doA() {
      a = a + 1;
      return a;
class B {
int b;
A r = new A();
r.a; // error: <identifier> expected. What does that mean ?
int doB() {
     int c = b/a; // error: operator / cannot be applied to a
}Thank you!

elaine_g wrote:
I am wondering why does (r.a) give an error outside the method? What's the reason it only works when used inside the (b/r.a) maths function? This is illegal syntax:
class B {
int b;
A r = new A();
r.a; //syntax error
}Why? Class definition restricts what you can define within a class to a few things:
class X {
    Y y = new Y(); //defining a field -- okay
    public X() { //defining a constructor -- okay
    void f() { //defining a method -- okay
}... and a few other things, but you can't just write "r.a" there. It also makes no sense -- that expression by itself just accesses a field and does nothing with it -- why bother?
This is also illegal syntax:
int doB() {
      A r = new A();
      r.a; // error: not a statement
}Again, all "r.a" does on its own is access a field and do nothing with it -- a "noop". Since it has no effect, writing this indicates confusion on the part of the coder, so it classified as a syntax error. There is no reason to write that.

Is it possible to pass a variable from one animation to another?

I have multiple animations on the same page. I need to pass a variable from one to the other.
Animation One has this:
sym.setVariable("myVarOne", 1);
Animation Two has this:
var myVarOneInTwo=Edge.getComposition("EDGE-12345678").getVariable("myVarOne");
Seems like it should work, but kinda hard to tell. I put in:
console.log("myVarOneInTwo = " + myVarOneInTwo);
But I get: Javascript error in event handler! Event Type = timeline
So it seems that it doesn't like getting a variable from another animation.
Is there a way to pull a variable from one animation into another?

Sorry also had to fix this:
var myVarOneInTwo=Edge.getComposition("EDGE-12345678").getVariable("myVar One");
To this:
var myVarOneInTwo=Edge.getComposition("EDGE-12345678").getStage().getVariable("myVar One");

Passing a variable from a movie clip to the main timeline

Hi,
I'm having trouble passing a variable from a movie clip in my
flash file to the main timeline.
I have a movieclip with the instance name IntroNav which
contains several buttons. Clicking a button sets the variable
"page" to a specific name, i.e. page = "home"
However, outside of the movie clip, on the main timeline I am
unable to call this variable, and "page" seems to have no value.
Can anyone tell me why this is and how to solve it?
Thanks

Umm, yes ... declare your variables correctly.
var page:String = new String(); //proper complete
var page:String; //strict typing
var page:String = "home"; //stirct typing with value
declaration
Do not declare the variable in your buttons, you would have
to do so in every button and be constantly resetting the value.
Declare it on the main timeline at the lowest level. You do not
need to use it as a _global, you just need to resolve your path
issues. You can 'set' the variable value from a button, without any
problem, but you have to call to the variable correctly.
You do not 'name' a variable as "_root.page" , the '_root'
refers to the lowest level of the SWF or the main timeline, as does
a call to ' _level0' (that's a zero). If the variable is declared
on the main timeline, and you're calling from the MC/button or
anywhere you can refer to the variable by calling to it by
the proper path of '_root.page'
To set the variable from any of your button/MC instances
call:
_root.page = "value"; OR _level0.page = "value";
But you must have the varibale declared on the main timeline,
and only once and the playhead should be stopped or it will reset
the value to the default upon looping.

How to pass a variable from HTML to Flash

I have built my flash ad banner in Flash 9 and now want the
HTML code to pass the url over to the flash movie that it should
jump to when clicked.
The info in the help file seems out of date for the latest
HTML template as it uses mainly JavaScript to get round IE's
dreadful embeding issue. So my problem is, how do I pass a variable
from the HTML to the actionScript specified int he Help file
(running on a full screen button) as shown below?
myButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (clickTAG.substr(0, 5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG);
via the html code now used by Flash 9 which is like this:

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Advert_long</title>

You should use SWFObject to embed your Flash. Not only does
