Passing parameters to query called through a shell script

I have a file called getInfo.sql that contains a query like:
spool ./myInfo.txt
select *
from myTable
where col1 = '&val1'
and col2 = '&val2';
spool off
I would like to call SQLPLUS from a shell script and pass this file in as a parameter. How would I pass in the values for
&val1 and &val2 ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rajan

Yes, you put a line in the script that looks like this:java classname parameter1 parameter2 parameter3 ...Then the JVM will call the static main(String[] args) method of "classname" and put those parameters into the "args" array.
If you are asking how to generate such a script, or how to call it from your COBOL program, sorry, I don't know how to do that.

Unable to pass parameter in oracle procedure through unix shell script

Hi Experts,
I have oracle procedure where in I have to pass the value of procedure parameter through unix script.
Follwoing is the sample procedure which i tried to exceute from the unix.
Procedure:
create or replace procedure OWNER.PRC_TESTING_OWNER(OWNER IN VARCHAR2) AS
sql_stmt varchar2(1000) := NULL;
v_count number := 0;
v_owner varchar2(100) := owner;
begin
sql_stmt:='select count(1) from '||v_owner||'.EMP@infodb where rownum<=10';
execute immediate sql_stmt into v_count;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(sql_stmt);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_count);

#!/bin/ksh
parm=$1
echo start
sqlplus -s scott@DEV/tiger <<EOF >>result_1.txt
set serveroutput on;
select '$parm' from dual;
exec owner.PRC_TESTING_OWNER('$parm');
EOFThe script is working fine that is i am able to pass to parameter value through unix shell script. :)
But if I want to pass the value of the owner in cursor , I am unable to pass this value through unix.
Following the procedure which i am trying to implement.
create or replace procedure OWNER.PRC_TESTING_OWNER(OWNER IN VARCHAR2) IS
v_owner varchar2(100) := owner;

used in cursor? :(
Can anybody help me regarding the same?
Thanks in Advance !! :D

It's not the parameter in the cursor that is the problem, it's that you are trying to use static SQL for something that won't be known until run time (the owner of the table).
You would need to use something like ...
declare
   l_owner        varchar2(30) := 'SCOTT';
   l_ref_cursor   sys_refcursor;
   type l_ename_tab is table of scott.emp.ename%type;
   l_ename_array l_ename_tab;
begin
   open l_ref_cursor for
      'select ename
      from ' || l_owner || '.emp';
   loop
      fetch l_ref_cursor bulk collect into l_ename_array limit 10;
      exit when l_ename_array.COUNT = 0;
      for x in 1 .. l_ename_array.count
      loop
         dbms_output.put_line(l_ename_array(x));
      end loop;
   end loop;
   close l_ref_cursor;
end;

Debugging a program being called from a shell script

hi All,
i want to know how debug a C program being called from A Shell Script,
my script looks like the following :
ecReqProcMain $Cfg/ecReq.g $TotCnt 2>> $ErrFilei also have to pass some arguments to the script itsellft, which in trun going to pass it to the program,
also in some cases i may be required to Pipe some data to the program, like the folowing
cat DataFile | myProgramThanks ,

You can also use ss_attach with the scheme that Anton
suggested above. Instead of inserting "dbx" into your
script, insert "ss_attach" into your script.
It's also possible to change your script to something like this:
cat DataFile | ${DEBUG} myProgram
Then you can run your script like this:
setenv DEBUG ss_attach
ecReqProcMain $Cfg/ecReq.g $TotCnt 2>> $ErrFile

Calling linux / unix shell scripts from APEX

Hi -- I'm doing some prototyping, and would like to try calling a unix shell script on the server from within APEX.
Is this possible? Maybe thru Javascript? Other ways? Not sure if it's possible thru pl/sql.
FYI, I'm attempting to check username/password specified at login to see if it's a valid login
to another database (also specified at login). If there's an easier way to do this, I'd love to hear it!
We're highly motivated to have a single apex app work on multiple databases -- largely because of a lack of
administration resources on the other databases. All databases are accessible via database links from
the apex server (the links are necessary to implement other business rules), and I know I can get
the DML working. Powers that be prefer that Database Account authentication (or a facsimile thereof)
be used. I suspect I'm opening myself up to lots of criticism by disclosing this ... :)
Thanks for any ideas,
Carol

R -- If I understand you correctly, a pl/sql process in APEX could invoke a java program on the server. Is that correct?
If so, is there any reason it couldn't just call a unix shell script? Seems they're both just executables recognized by the OS....
I know I called unix scripts from embedded sql a billion years ago, but don't recall the method for doing that. What is
the syntax I'd use in apex / pl/sql?
thanks,
Carol

Call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure

We need to call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure
i.e. the control should come back to the procedure once the script completes. Can any body help to achieve this ?

There are various ways in achieving this.
For Example, you can call a PRO*C-Library residing on the database server.
This requires a PL/SQL library to be generated and some changes to the Listener configuration.
It is also possible to implement a java procedure on the database being invoked by a PL/SQL wrapper class.
In this way (and if used right) there is also granularity regarding the filestructure permissions given and it may be called during a Forms or other PL/SQL session.
The article below explains a more generic approach how to invoke shell commands from within an Oracle Instance.
Be careful with this, because it really works ;)

How can i pass parameter values from html to a shell script

Hi Guys...
I had a requirement where i need to execute a sql statement and print the output in HTML page. This report has parameters to enter. So i created a HTML form which accepts parameters. When the submit button is pressed, the action tag in the form invokes unix shell script file. It will open sqlplus and run the sql script file .sql and print the output in the HTML page.
sql script contains the query and some set options which prints the output in HTML page. Like "SET MARKUP HTML ON"... The query has some parameters like "select * from emp where empno = &&empnumber. I will use the same name "empnumber" while created the HTML parameter form like " <input type = "text" name="empnumber" size="10" align="left">.
user sees this parameter form and enters some value in to that empno text box.
My question is how can i catch these parameter values in a shell script and pass it to the sql script to execute it.
Help Appreciated
Thanx

This is a A Bad Idea (tm). This type of CGI processing is old and were (and still is) full of security holes. Very easy to inject stuff (Unix commands and SQL) into it.. To get those parameters into SQL*Plus requires using Unix shell commands to process it - and something like a backquote allows all kinds of nasty stuff to be injected. The Unix shell was never designed to be used as a secure CGI environment.
There are far better and far superior alternatives. Perl (with Perl_DBI) and PHP (using Zend Core for Oracle) come to mind as web scripting languages.
Even easier is using HTMLDB. Very few moving parts. Is free. Supports Oracle 9.2 and 10G.

How to get return code or parameters from PL/SQL in my shell script ?

My shell script must check the result of PL/SQL's running, and decide what to do in the next step.

I think you put the problem the wrong way.
You should try to do as much as possible through your SQL scripts, and, if you need to make OS calls, you may do that using host(command_string).
If you need to transfer parameters from other programs to your FORMS (PL/SQL), then you have to see user_exit.
Some other means would be to have your PL/SQL write to certain OS files that the shell script may read, but that doesn't seem like good practice to me.

Starting and stopping an SQL query from within a Shell script

DB version:10gR2
OS Version:AIX
We have a C++ application called WpnCreate.cpp, which is causing some locking problems.
So, we have decided to capture(using SPOOL) the locking info(session info, blocking program,..etc) using an SQL query.
WpnCreate.cpp program is initiated by a shell script. So we need this SQL query(.sql) to start firing just before WpnCreate.cpp is called and when WpnCreate.cpp has finished executing, we need the SQL query execution to stop.
But how do i stop the sql query execution? Should i capture the session id and serial# of this session and use kill -9 at the end of the shell script?
Flow of the Shell script should be like this
Step1. Start firing the SQL query which captures the locking info and SPOOL them to a file
Step2. Execute WpnCreate.cpp program
Step3. Stop the firing of SQL query once WpnCreate.cpp has finished executing ( i don't know how)How will i go about achieving this?

How can you run your step 2 untill & unless your step 1 gets over. You can run in background but then it will not capture the correct information.
I think you need to run your step 1 after step 2 , then only you will be able to capture the information.
You can run your C++ program in background and can wait for some time using sleep command and then run the query to check the locking information.

Passing parameters with spaces to SCCM Run PowerShell Script task

I am working on an OS deployment task sequence in SCCM 2012 R2 with several Run PowerShell Script tasks. Most of them run fine, but I am having trouble with the one I need to pass parameters to.
The parameters I need to pass are:
-ComputerOU "ou=All Workstations,dc=contoso,dc=com" -GroupDN "cn=Group1,ou=All Groups,dc=contoso,dc=com"
I have that line (with actual DNs) entered in Parameters of the task.
But when the script runs on the target machine, the values of the parameters in the script are truncated at the spaces. $ComputerOU is set to "ou=All" and $GroupDN is set to "cn=Group1,ou=all"
What syntax should I be using the Parameters field of the Task in order to properly pass PowerShell parameter string values that include spaces?
Tim Curwick
MadWithPowerShell.com

Thank you, TC, but I am not calling the parameters from within PowerShell.
The parameters are in the settings of a task sequence task to be used by the task to launch a script. The syntax I am using would be correct for use within PowerShell or from a command line or batch script, but SCCM appears to be doing some parsing
before or while it is passing them to the script, possibly dropping the quotes which causes mishandling of the spaces in the string values.
Historically, it is always challenging to give one application parameters to pass to another application, and the required syntax can get quite tricky when the two application handle quotes or spaces differently, or when the parent application wants to parse
something intended to be passed on as is to the child application.
I'm sure someone has already figured out what the syntax needs to be for doing this with an SCCM 'Run PowerShell Script" task, it's just one of those issues that is hard to Google effectively.
Any other ideas?
