Promblem with SQL*PLUS command

I use command 'set headsep !' to split a title onto more lines,
but it doesn't work.
And I want to use 'compute sum'to get the sum of salary of
employees who are managed by a given manager(to be entered at
run time).How to do that?
Thank you.

You didn't send your code, so I can't give you the problem with
your code. Here's an example that works:
set headsep !
show headsep
column department_id heading 'Department!Identifier'
select department_id from emp_details_view;

  • SQL-Command to long to run with SQL*Plus

    Hello to everyone,
    I'm creating a dynamic SQL Script to run with SQL*Plus.
    The Script contains only INSERT Command.
    The point is that the SQL*Plus supports only SQL-Strings (Commands)
    not longer than 2500 Characters.
    I've considered to split the String in Insert- and Update-Command(s),
    but I've would like first to know if there any simpler way to run these
    Commands on SQL*Plus.
    thanx in Advance

  • SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format

    Hi,
    what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?

    Hi,
    what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?SQLPlus doesn't print, and it doesn't know about 'landscape' vs. 'portrait' any more than it knows about fonts. the only 'formatting' it knows is line size, page size. And all it does with line size is know where to insert a CR/LF pair (windows) or a CR (*nix). The only thing it knows to do with page size is repeat column headers.
    The rest is up to whatever application you use to open the pure asciii text spool file.

  • Is Sql plus command avaliable in sql developer

    SQL developer is able to do most of thing can be done with sql plus with GUI , cool.
    However, seems sql command, such as show parameter, start database have to be done in sql plus.
    is this true?
    most of time in my development, I just open sql developer now. but seems in this statuation, i have to use sql plus.

If your schema has privileges you can get parameter values in SQL*Developer by querying V$PARAMETER (SET_CATALOG_ROLE privilege).
    The two tools are not the same. Much of what you can do with SQL*PLUS you can do with SQL*Developer but I feel that SQL*PLUS still has better scripting abilities along with its bind variable storate. On the other hand the GUI interface of SQL*Developer Is fairly easy to use. The danger is editing procedures/functions/packages in the database forgetting to back them up from SQL*Developer first; SQL*PLUS forces me to use scripts.
    Depending on what I am doing I use either SQL*PLUS or SQL*Developer (which I like better for queries with long select lists).
    I'm having trouble getting DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to work the way I expect in SQL*Developer; sometimes the output just does not appear without repeated executions of the generating program.

  • Need to execute SQL PLUS commands from C# code

    Hello all,
    This is my first question here and hopefully I will get my solution :)
    Right now we are doing 3 tasks manually
    1) Clearing everything from a DB.
    We use sql plus and execute this :
    RAMNIVAS_CI/RAMNIVAS_CI@orclwex3
    set pages 0
    set lines 80
    spool c:\delete_objects_CI
    select 'drop '||object_type||' '||object_name||';'
    from user_objects;
    spool off
    start c:\delete_objects_CI.lst
    purge recyclebin;
    set pages 100
    select count(*) from user_objects;
    RAMNIVAS_CI/RAMNIVAS_CI@orclwex3 are the username and pwd which gets input when we paste entire thing in sql plus
    2) Then we restore that DB again using sql plus to do it using the command:
    imp file=CL.DMP log=CL.log buffer=1000000 fromuser=RAMNIVAS_CL touser=RAMNIVAS_CL statistics=none grants=n commit=y
    3)Execute sql scripts on it using sql developer. (This is not hard I guess coz I know we can use oracle client)
    4) Take backup using this command:
    exp RAMNIVAS_CI/RAMNIVAS_CI@ORCLWEX3 file=CI.dmp log=CI.log direct=y compress=y buffer=1000000 grants=n statistics=none
    Is there anything I cna do to execute SQL PLUS commands using c#?

    Hi,
    You can execute OS commands via the SHELL function provided in .NET. See the MSDN for more info.
    Some of the things you can do directly from .NET via ODP and PLSQL, some not.
    1) Dropping the user objects can be done via a plsql procedure where you open a cursor for "select 'drop '||object_type||' '||object_name||';' ..." and then use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to execute the resulting commands. You can invoke the procedure via ODP.
    2) IMP is an exe, not a sqlplus command, so you're not actually using sqlplus there. You can still use the SHELL command though to invoke that.
    3) Executing SQL Scripts via ODP.NET is not something you can do very easily. If you search the threads here you should be able to find some solutions others have come up with to parse the file and execute the statements one by one, but there's nothing built in to ODP to execute a script file.
    You may want to just shell out to sqlplus user/pwd@db @scriptfile.sql but you may have issues trying to track down errors if any occurred, as I'm not sure where they go in that case.
    4) just as with IMP, EXP is an exe, so you could shell out to that.
    Corrections/comments welcome.

  • SQL works from SQL*Plus command line but not as a DBMS_JOB submitted job

    Oracle 10g 10.2
    Got a procedure which does not run correctly as an Oracle job but runs fine as a SQL script.
    There are no Oracle errors (or any errors) of any kind when the job does not run fine – it just does not update any rows. But when run as a SQL script – the same way it is run as a job – then the rows are updated.
    Any ideas?

    Good stuff....
    See my replies to some of the questions in italics
    a) Different NLS settings => The job uses the NLS settings of the session that created it. If you create it with some tool like TOAD, you might have a different environment than with sql*plus. Runs good in TOAD and SQL*Plus using the command-line feature - just 'acts funky' when submitted.
    b) Interval issue. Are you sure the job was running? Isn't still running? The job runs successfully - even logs a successful message in our logging table.
    c) User/priviledge issue. Sometimes a job needs direct grants whereus a procedure can be called with priviledges granted through roles. Don't know - need to check this out.
    d) Transaction handling / Error Handling. The job runs into some error, but the error is supressed, because of bad exception handling. What is the value in the BROKEN column, when you do: select * from user_jobs; I would think that, since the errors are logged into a side table, an error would be found there. However, no errors are found. The BROKEN column is 'N'.

  • .......Embedding  SQL PLUS commands inside PL/SQL.....

    hai every body,
    I have a doubt regarding sql plus commands and PL/SQL..I am using Oracle 10g..I have created 1 procedure for deletion/updation of transactions..and the number of effected rows I just displayed with using " *dbms_output.put_line* (SQL%ROWCOUNT)"..hence before executing the procedure the sqlPlus command "*SET SERVEROUTPUT ON*" should turn on..at most times it is forget to turn on and output becomes vague..

    It does not support the commands of other applications or languages such as SQL*Plus, Unix or COBOL for example.

  • Executing Sql* plus commands

    Hi
    Can we execute SQL *plus commands using JDBC OCI Driver. If so What is the procedure to execute and Which parameters to be set
    With Regards
    Vara Prasad

    AFAIK: no, you can't. SQL*plus is kind of a shell (the worst one I've seen so far), so via JDBC (both OCI and thin), you lack the interpreter.

  • How to find GUI SQL*Plus command tool in Oracle 8i (version 8.1.7)

    I had installed Oracel 8i Enterprise Edition (version 8.1.7) on my server machine (Windows NT 4.0), I'd like to use Oracle Navigator (GUI SQL*PLUS command tool), but I can not find it from the menu. I know Oracle Navigator is available in Oracle 7. Can anyone tell me where and how to use GUI SQL*PLUS command tool in Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition (version 8.1.7) ?

  • Learning PL/SQL with SQL plus

    I'm looking to teach myself PL/SQL with SQL Plus, it's a works pc so I can not use any other software than SQL plus.
    When starting SQL plus I'm asked for a username, password and host string.
    I'm taking it the host string is the db I want to connect to and obviously supply the username and password for level of access?
    Also what I ideally need is a sample db on my local machine to connect to with SQL plus to learn that way.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Use the net8 configuration assistant preferably as it'll get the syntax correct.
    Otherwise you copy the sample one up one folder and edit that.
    Connection information (SID, Server/IP, port number) you'll have to get off your DBA.
    The name at the start of a tnsnames entry is the name that you want to reference the database as, so you can call it FRED if you like.
    e.g.
    FRED =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS =
            (PROTOCOL = TCP)
            (HOST = <server name or ip address>)
            (PORT = <port>) -- usually 1521 but can differ if more than one instance on the server
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SID = <database SID>) -- the name of the database on the server.
      )Once that's set up you can then log onto the database in the following way:
    sqlplus <user>/<password>@fred
    What happens is that the TNS Listener service (that should be running on your PC) will look up "fred" in the tnsnames.ora file and then use the information from that to make the connection to the server on the correct port and connect you to the actual database on there.
    After that.... it's up to you.
    :)
