PROMPT Command equivalent in Oracle 7

Hi All,
I am working on a database Health check script . I Have to implement this on a Oracle7 server running on OS HP-unix. I have done with this health check script on all the 9i servers. The same script i have to modify and implement in Oracle7 database also. To print Headings or titles in Oracle 9i i used PROMPT command. So which is the equivalent command that can be used in Oracle7. I want to print the headings. Kindly assist me.

SQL> connect / as sysdba
ERROR: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon deniedAs far as I recall, sqlplus back then did not support this specific logon syntax. Qualify the connection string using username and password. e.g.
sqlplus sys/mysecretpassword
The sysdba role will likely not be enabled - but that should not be an issue for running a bunch SQL selects.
Also reconsider using the sys schema for logging on. The only time this schema should be used is for actual database maintenance - like doing a shutdown, changing initialisation settings, doing an upgrade and so on.
Using it as your personal superuser logon is not a good idea and one that you will be nailed for (and very hard) in any security review or audit.
Rather create a new schema and grant it the minimal rights needed to do perform the required job.
PS. Cannot recall if connect internal also worked in sqlplus back then - but that can be tried if you want a sysdba connection from sqlplus itself.

  • DMBS_SQL.to_refcursor equivalent in Oracle 10g

    Hello,
    Is there any other way to get result as a refcursor in Oracle 10g with DBMS_SQL? I have the function that function generate dynamic query and execute with DBMS_SQL. This function called by java code for viewing result as report. How can I do this, is there equivalent in Oracle 10g for DMBS_SQL.to_refcursor? Please help.
    Thanks,

    Is it difficult to understand my answers?Yes, because they are not accurate. You keep saying you can't use ref cursors and must use DBMS_SQL, but you have failed to show us why that is so.
    It is impossible because there is dynamic where clause in my query. Show us why it's impossible.
    BluShadow     please solve this one:
    p_sql := 'select empno, ename, deptno from emp where deptno=:pdeptno';

    I'll be sure to ignore you in future other than to point out your crossposts when I find them of course.
    This previous thread of yours (cross posted as always [in 4 forums!!!]) really is demonstrative of the fundamental deepness of your nitwittery

    thanks need all the help i can get

    1. Compile your source code with javac. Ensure there are no exceptions and that all .class files are built
    2. Open a command line (on windows, run 'cmd')
    3. Run 'java mypackage/myapp' - java will actually open a command line if you didn't run from the command line.

  • HANA equivalent of oracle's sql%rowcount to get affected rows.

    I want to get the number of rows affected from an insert or update statement inside a stored procedure.
    Is there any equivalent to oracle's sql%rowcount that can be called after the query.
    For example:
    create procedure procedure_name
    begin
         declare l_c integer;
         insert into table values ('somevalue');
         l_c := sql%rowcount; -- This would return 1 for the row inserted.
    end;

    Yes, after the INSERT statement....
    SELECT ::ROWCOUNT into L_C FROM DUMMY;

  • How to use "choose file with prompt" command?

    I need to use "choose file with prompt" command and I want give user possibility choose ONLY images (jpeg, png, gif). So, I write like this:
    choose file with prompt "Please, choose images for processing..." of type {"JPEG Image"}
    But this doesn't work! - All files (including jpegs) are dimmed, and user can't choose any....
    So, how can I filter JPEGs, PNGs and GIFs?

    I have found, that most of images on my computer has missing file_type, I don't know why..... so "type identifier of (info for (choose file))" also doesn't work properly.
    The only one way that 100% works is use Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) -- details here: http://www.huw.id.au/code/fileTypeIDs.html

    2. I tested Apshell and the packages there also throw same error.
    I have even copied the packages from a running environment but they donot work.

    Please suggest as I think this is due to some DLL file.

  • Prompt command with JBuilder

    i have just purchased my first JAVA book
    "A Framework for Programming and Problem Solving"
    Anyway, I have not gotten far at all because it asks me to use the prompt command early on to find the directory or make up one. I don't understand what that means. It came with a CD Rom with JBuilder on it. Why am I having to type using the command prompt and notepad as an editor? Is the JBuilder not the compiler/editor? I am confused and frustrated. Please help.

    JBuilder is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
    The Java SDK contains the compiler.
    Notepad is a text editor.
    There are many ways to enter, compile and run Java
    programs. JBuilder is one environment, but it separates
    the programmer from what is actually going on within the
    computer. The author is probably trying to encourage
    you to use notepad and the command prompt so that
    you will understand what JBuilder does for you when you
    tell it to "Make MyProject".
    IMHO, when you are first learning to program, using a
    text editor is probably best because you are required to
    write all of the code and you control the compilation and
    execution yourself. When you understand the basics of
    programming it's great to use an IDE for the features that
    they include. I would also suggest that you use TextPad
    instead of notepad. It can be used to highlight Java code
    and can also be configured to compile and run your
    programs.
    Hope that helps!
