Problems calling external C routines from PL/SQL

Hi everybody!
I'm not familiar with C programming in Unix, but I'm trying to make work an example to execute external procedures (developed in C) from PL/SQL.
The example includes .c and .pc source files, which I have compiled succesfully.
After that, links the .o files into .so to declare later as libraries in the Oracle database.
The problem appears when I try to execute this procedures (from PL), when a I get the error:
"Error loading external library"
"ORA-06522: ld.so.1: ORACLE_HOME/bin/extprocPLSExtProc: fatal:
relocation error: file /opt/mqm/lib/libmqm.so: symbol NULL_HSHMEMS: referenced symbol not found"
The library /opt/mqm/lib/libmqm.so is provided with the installation of MQSeries Server.
Thanx in advance.
Luisa.

Here is what works on my system:
TNSNAMES.ORA:
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
LISTENER.ORA:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /home/oracle/Ora9i)
(PROGRAM = extproc)

How to call external Perl routines from Pl/SQL - Urgent

Available software in the Test Environment:
1. Sun Unix 2.8
2. Oracle 8.1.7 ( 8i)
3. Perl 5
Iam trying to call/execute perl scripts from PL/SQL using the DEMO_RDBMS.mk. I am able to call C scripts from PL/SQL, but actually want to call Perl scripts.
The steps followed for for C are -
1. Create and compile a simple C program to execute a unix command (eg., touch a file).
2. Make a shared library of the above compiled program (object), i.e., load the compiled object module into a dynamic load library.
3. Declare the above library in Oracle using SQL*Plus.
4. Define a PL/SQL function or procedure to call the external routine.
5. Test the external routine.
The above steps run good for a C program, but step 2 fails when run for a Perl script.
When I tried to use the following command for step 2 -
make -f $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk extproc_callback \
SHARED_LIBNAME=cmd_lib.so \
OBJS=tst_cmd.pl
got the following error -
ld: fatal: file tst_cmd.pl: unknown file type.
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written t cmd_lib.so
*** Error code 1
This gives me an indication that demo_rdbms.mk does not understand/interpret Perl scripts. Going through the demo_rdbms.mk suggests the same.
My questions is - How do we call external Perl scripts/routines from PL/SQL ??
Do I have to get a different version of "demo_rdbms.mk" ?
PS: The perl scripts used above (tst_cmd.pl) is error free and works as intended in the unix environment.

Iam trying to call/execute perl scripts from PL/SQL using the DEMO_RDBMS.mk. I am able to call C scripts from PL/SQL, but actually want to call Perl scripts. Well, C is a "compiler" language and Perl is interpreted. In a sense, C is not "scripts".
When I tried to use the following command for step 2 -
make -f $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk extproc_callback \
SHARED_LIBNAME=cmd_lib.so \
OBJS=tst_cmd.pl
got the following error -
ld: fatal: file tst_cmd.pl: unknown file type.
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written t cmd_lib.soI guess this compiles an extproc "stub" with your object file, generating an external procedure. So the object file really needs to be an object file :-)
My questions is - How do we call external Perl scripts/routines from PL/SQL ??I'd guess you need an embedded Perl interpreter in the external procedure.
Not much help though I'm afraid :-/

Calling external C procedures from PL/SQL

Hello,
The first two development steps for external C procedures are:
1. Create and compile the external procedure in 3GL.
2. Link the external procedure with the standard shared library at the operating system level.
For others, for example for 3. Create an alias library schema object to map to the operating system's shared library, i can see details of how to do this, but for first two, i see "Varies for each operating system; consult documentation".
My question is, how can 1 and 2 be done, in case of Windows? So i have the .c file, where i've written a procedure. And next what should i do for the first two steps?
Thanks

The "standard shared library at the operating system level", is that .dll file, isn't it?Yep. On Linux/Unix these are actually called shared libraries.

I want to call External Java class from the PL/SQL

Hi,
I am using Oracle Apps R11i (11.5.7), I wanted to call external Java class from the PL/SQL. This external Java class is residing in another application server.
How do I do this.
I know one way. Develop C routine in Oracle Apps to call external java class and call this C routine from the PL/SQL.
Is there any simple method available? or any other method?
Thanks in advance.
-Venkat

First of all, this is a Java application you're talking about, right (i.e. it has a main() function)? It's not just a class that you're trying to instantiate is it? If it's an application, you obviously have to start a new virtual machine to run it (rather than using the virtual machine built into the database like stored java). I'm a little leary of your mention of an "application server" as this would more commonly mean that a virtual machine is already over there running with access to this class. In which case, you'd typically interface with SOAP or some other RPC API.
All that aside, as long as you have physical disc access (through NFS or whatever) to the class file, you could use a java wrapper class with a system call to do this. In fact, there is a thread in just the last day or so on this very forum that has the code to do just that (see " Invoking OS Commands from PL/SQL"). However, it's worth noting that the virtual machine will be running on the database server in this case and not the application server.

Is it possible to call a activeX control from PL/SQL...?

Hi all,
Is it possible to call a activeX control from PL/SQL...? If yes, please give me sample code or any link.
Thanks,

The LoadLibrary() Win32 call is used to find the physical DLL and load it into memory. This API call first look in the current directory for the file, and then uses the PATH environmental variable to try and find the file.
Thus you need to make sure PATH is properly set. A Win32 process runs in a 32bit VM (Virtual Machine). Been a very long time since I did Windows server side development, but as I recall this VM inherits the default o/s environment (unlike Unix where the parent process environment is inherited).
You can set the environment using the Properties menu of the System desktop icon (or via Control Panel).
However.. Oracle does not run as your user. Typically it is installed as the o/s user Oracle and this user owns all the Oracle processes (listener, instance, etc).
So you will need to make sure that this user's environment is correctly configured... Further more than this, I'm out of my depth. Did a lot of Windows stuff back in the 90's, but for many years now I'm only using Unix/Linux professionally - with Windows being my console platform for playing games at home. :-)
On the Linux/Unix side, I configure the environment variable via the Listener. E.g. Under the entry SID_LIST_LISTENER, I configure the external procedure handler as follows:
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME=/tjs-dev/app/oracle/product/10.2.0)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(ENVS = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY")
)No idea how this applies and works on the Windows side.

get

same error;

Process management at the OS level should prevent execution continuing in the calling code until the command has completed (either successfully or with error).
If the low level java code were to spawn child process threads then execution could continue, but I'm guessing the Java function your talking about doesn't do that and just calls the operating system to execute the command and waits for the returning code to come back.

Calling a Web Service from PL/SQL Procedure

How can you call a web service from a pl/sql package , also is it valid to call a web service from pl/sql according to Fusion Standards..

Hi,
On way we can call a web service is to pass the Web Service URL to UTL_HTTP package:
Sample Web Service URL
===================
lv_url :=
'http://67.97.189.151:8888/plsqlsample/dbfunc?invoke=placeOrder'
|| '&'
|| 'param0=1'
|| '&'
|| 'param1=1'
|| '&'
|| 'param2=1';
Sample Call using UTL_HTTP
=====================
SELECT UTL_HTTP.request (lv_url)
INTO lv_result
FROM DUAL;
Thank you.

Calling a Java Class from PL/SQL

Hai,
I need a technique of calling a class file and invoke its
methods written in Java by PL/SQL for my intranet development.
PLease let me know if you have really experienced and won.
Thanks
JOhnson

First, to call a Java class from PL/SQL the class needs to be
deployed to the database. you can check the 8i documentation for
the instructions for loading Java into the database(LoadJava).
The document contains information on how to load the Java and
call it from PL/SQL. The following links should help.
Loading Java:

Can I call a Java program from a SQL Server Trigger?

Hello,
I want to encrypt some data in a database column in SQL Server. Today I am using java code to encrypt the value and store it in the database using JDBC.
Now I want to use a VB client to store the encrypted value in the SQL Server DB. Since the encryption is handled by a java class, can I write a trigger in SQL Server that while inserting the raw data, calls the java class for encrypting the value and then inserts the encrypted value into the column?
In general, is it possible to call a java class from a SQL Server trigger?
Thanks

Here are 3 examples of code for insert, update and delete:
CREATE TRIGGER [PLI_INSERT_TRIGGER] ON [dbo].[PLI]
FOR INSERT
AS
Declare @cmd sysname, @code sysname, @list sysname
     Select @code = PLI_K_COD, @list = PLI_K_LISTINO from inserted
     Set @cmd = 'java mirrorDb.Copy PLI INSERT ' + @code + ' ' + @list
     EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
CREATE TRIGGER [PLI_UPDATE_TRIGGER] ON [dbo].[PLI]
FOR UPDATE
AS
Declare @cmd sysname, @code sysname, @list sysname
     Select @code = PLI_K_COD, @list = PLI_K_LISTINO from inserted
     Set @cmd = 'java mirrorDb.Copy PLI UPDATE ' + @code + ' ' + @list
     EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
CREATE TRIGGER [PLI_DELETE_TRIGGER] ON [dbo].[PLI]
FOR DELETE
AS
Declare @cmd sysname, @code sysname, @list sysname
     Select @code = PLI_K_COD, @list = PLI_K_LISTINO from deleted
     Set @cmd = 'java mirrorDb.Copy PLI DELETE ' + @code + ' ' + @list
     EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
you must go "sql server entreprise manager" right click on the table you want to add triggers and select: all activities, manage triggers.
You have 3 examples: for an insert, for an update and for a delete
ON [dbo].[PLI] specify the table on which you want to setup trigger.
FOR DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE specify the event.
The Declare statement create the variables in which I want to put some values to pass to the java program, for example which table, which event, which key fields.
the "Select @code = PLI_K_COD, @list = PLI_K_LISTINO from inserted" set the variables with the value of the columns of the table I am interested to read from my java program, for example the variable @code receive the value of the column pli_k_kod (is the key) of the table PLI.
The "Set @cmd = 'java mirrorDb.Copy PLI DELETE ' + @code + ' ' + @list " prepared the variable @cmd with the java command followed by the package.classname and parameters.
The EXEC launch the command to the operating system.
