Replacement variables SQL Plus x PLSQL x APEX

How Can I use replacement variables SQL Plus, integrating with APEX ,PLSQL?

This isn't going very well is it?
Perhaps it has something to do with a lack of knowledge of the english language, that you don't explain your case more, but I'll try to rephrase your question:
You would like to call a query in SQL*PLUS from an Apex application?
Then my answer would be simple: you can't.
But my return question would be: why would you want that?
You can also run your query in your Apex application and show the result on a page. Why is there a need to run it in SQL*PLUS?

SQL*PLUS VS HTML IGU APEX (Application Express 3.2.1.00.12)

Hello,
Could anybody gives me a clue about the following?
Thanks for any help.
Claude
A did this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "A" AS OBJECT (v_a NUMBER) NOT FINAL;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "B" UNDER A (v_b NUMBER);
CREATE TABLE "TA" OF "A";
INSERT INTO TA VALUES(A(1));
...some other similar inserts...
INSERT INTO TA VALUES(B(1,2));
Till now all is ok...but after I try to launch the following simple command:
SELECT REF(p) FROM TA p;
If I launch it from the SQL*PLUS the result is OK ->

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve... - sql plus works, env vars are set...

Hi,
I am getting this error message in my ASP.Net apps (namespace Oracle.DataAccess.Client) and any app that tries to use the Oracle Provider for OLE DB.
Error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Here is what I do know:
- My ORACLE_HOME is set to C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\
- My path has C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\network\admin;C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\bin;
- I installed Oracle Client 11g, previously 10g was working but one of the devs wanted to upgrade
- I can connect using sqlplus user/pass@tnsname
- I can test tns entries successfully in Net Manager
Here is what I don't know:
- When using OLE connections, why does Oracle Provider for OLE DB not pick up on the environment variables - sql plus seems to, that's why it works.
- In ASP.Net, why does the connection object from Oracle.DataAccess.Client not pick up the correct environment variables?
- How do the Oracle drivers pick up the location of the TNS names?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
What "environment variables" are you referring to that you have set? You shouldnt have to set any, unless you're talking about TNS_ADMIN just to avoid having to configure multiple TNSNames.ora's if you have multiple homes.
Your PATH doesnt need to include OH\network\admin, but thats not hurting anything. PATH is for dll loading, not for finding config files.
Do you still have 10g installed? When you connect using sqlplus user/pass@tnsname, are you using 11g sqlplus? Or is that coming from the 10g client? Multiple homes arent aware of each other, so if you have a 10g home and an 11g home, you'd have to configure tnsnames.ora for both (or use tns_admin).
As far as I know, the client software picks up tnsnames.ora by checking:
1) the local working directory
2) the tns_admin directory
3) the network\admin directory of the client home being used.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Apex 4.0 - Can see view data in SQL*Plus but no data in Object Browser

Hi There,
I have just started using Apex 4.o and migrated some apps. I have an issue with a report, but see the same issue with Object browser, which is easier to describe.
I have a view:
create or replace view V_PLJ_USERDEF_CODES (
         CODE_SET_ID,
         CODE_SET_CODE,
         CODE_SET_DESC,
         CODE_ID,
         CODE_SYS_CODE,
         CODE_VALUE,
         CODE_DESC,
         DISPLAY_SEQ,
         DISPLAY_FLAG,
         LANGUAGE_CODE) as
select CS.CODE_SET_ID,
         CS.CODE_SET_CODE,
         CS.CODE_SET_DESC,
         C.CODE_ID,
         C.CODE_SYS_CODE,
         C.CODE_VALUE,
         C.CODE_DESC,
         C.DISPLAY_SEQ,
         C.DISPLAY_FLAG,
         C.LANGUAGE_CODE
    from PLJ_CODES C,
         PLJ_CODE_SETS CS
   where C.CODE_SET_ID         = CS.CODE_SET_ID
     and CS.CODE_SET_TYPE_CODE = SYS_CONTEXT('PLJUMPSTART','C_USERDEF_CODE_SET');This returns data in SQL*Plus, but no data in Object Browser OR report region based on this view.
Workspace parses in the same schema as tested in SQL*Plus.
If, in report, I swap out view, and use underlying table - no problem.
Any ideas -
thanks
P

Hi all,
Thanks for getting back so promptly.
It just seems weird to me, as tables are just fine, but not views.
In the underlying schema:
SQL> sho user
USER is "ICSREPORTING"
SQL> select count(*) from plj_codes;
COUNT(*)
       107
SQL> select count(*) from v_plj_userdef_codes;
COUNT(*)
        29And in the APEX schema
SQL> sho user
USER is "APEX_040000"
SQL> select count(*) from icsreporting.plj_codes;
select count(*) from icsreporting.plj_codes
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> select count(*) from icsreporting.v_plj_userdef_codes;
select count(*) from icsreporting.v_plj_userdef_codes
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL>However, in SQL browser, I can see the data in PLJ_CODES but in V_PLJ_USERDEF_CODES, just the message "This view has no data". Indeed, it is like this for all views.
I even explicitly granted access to APEX_040000 but no good.
In fact, I would like to know more about how Apex gets access to do DML against the underlying parsing schema(s).
This is a little frustrating though. It worked just fine in lots of apps in version 2.1 to 3.2
Am I missing something
paul
p.s I knew there would be a question about the context, but I had already checked that. :)

Where its not possible to use a variable (&&var) in SQL*PLUS ?

SQL*Plus Command Reference - DEFINE
Whenever you run a stored query or script, SQL*Plus substitutes the value of variable for each substitution variable referencing variable (in the form &variable or &&variable)
The question is which are the limits of this. Can eg even be between a 'STR&&varING' passed as parameter to some function? Or as parameter I can pass only a single variable and there isnt such auto-casting level ?
I have created DBCA Scripts to batch create a DB. So I want inside these scripts to replace the DBNAME with a variable. So I can create different DBS with these prescriptions from an API tool.
E.g here there are 6 different scenarios where I might need to pass the variable. I dont know
1. On which of the bellow scenarios I can inject the &&var
2. On which I cant and thus have to create a 2nd VAR to inject the 1st one
3. Which dont accept variables at all - but only static text
@D:\app\admin\DBNAMEY\scripts\CreateDB.sql
spool D:\app\admin\DBNAMEY\scripts\CreateDB.log append
startup nomount pfile="D:\app\admin\DBNAMEY\scripts\init.ora";
CREATE DATABASE "DBNAMEY"
DATAFILE 'D:\app\oradata\DBNAMEY\system01.dbf' SIZE ...
GROUP 2 ('D:\app\oradata\DBNAMEY\redo02.log') SIZE 51200K,
I may not start testing the scripts 6 times fearing corrupting my Workstation on half executed scripts.

If you can't test because you are afraid the test might fail, you need to address that issue first. No one on the web is going to give you iron-clad assurance that some code you write is going to work exactly as you expect.
Your script is trying to create a database? What's the worst thing that can happen if it doesn't work? Do you know how to manually dis-mantle whatever your script does? If not, you need to learn. The knowledge you will gain from that exercise will go a long way to improving your understanding of how these things interrelate.

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.

Windows System Environment Variables in "Sql * plus"

Can i use/reference Windows System Environment variables in "Sql * plus"?
For example, i want to create sql-script to run in database server computer that asks variable "ORA_HOME" and uses this value to execute some sql/plsql sentences.

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:
*nix - echo $myvariable
Windows - echo %myvariable%
First, the sqlscript to create the TS. Note the use of the substitution variable "&1"

[oracle@vmlnx01 ~]$ cat cat makets.sql
set echo on feedback on verify on trimsp on

How to create an apex session in e.g. SQL*Plus?

I would like to establish an apex session using a tool different from SQL Workshop.
How can I achieve this using e.g. SQL*Plus or SQL Developer?
Is there some document on the internet which addresses this question? I couldn't find it yet.

First and foremost you need to set the Security Group ID (SGID)
begin
APEX_UTIL.SET_SECURITY_GROUP_ID(APEX_UTIL.FIND_SECURITY_GROUP_ID('MY_WORKSPACE')); -- replace MY_WORKSPACE with yours
end;
then you might need to set an application_id for certain features to work:
select application_id
    into apex_application.g_flow_id
    from apex_applications
   where application_name = 'my_app_name'; -- replace my_app_name with yours
If you need to create a session id, you can get a fresh one with
DECLARE
VAL NUMBER;
BEGIN
VAL := APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.GET_NEXT_SESSION_ID;
END;

XE: Cant connect to sql*plus, APEX seems to function

Hi! I am a beginner in oracle.
I installed oracle XE 10g, both the server and the client on mandriva linux, using the supplied RPM's. After that I ran /etc/init.d/xe/configure and accepted the default values. Then I performed the post-installation steps as mentioned in APEX insstallation guide (sourcing the shell scripts).
In the APEX interface I can see the database, its staistics and I created a user. But when I try to connect using sql*plus, the connection is refused:
SQL> conn sys as sysdba
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Judging from the output of commands below, there is something missing. Any ideas?

The messages tell me that you do not have the ORACLE_HOME variable set correctly. This has been discussed umpteen times, but since search is beyond the call of duty, I'll copy/paste one of my recent responses
In Linux and Unix Oracle REQUIRES that variables ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID be set properly. And *nix REQUIRES that an executable be in the PATH or explicitly referenced. The easiest way of setting those consistently and correctly is to source the oraenv routine which is placed in /usr/local/bin by the installer. To use that, and assuming you are using Linux,
1) Find out the ORACLE_SID for your reference
tail /etc/oratab
and note the last line. The first field will be the SID.
2) Source oraenv
. oraenv
[ oracle ]?: enter the SID here
and if you want to put this into a script, enter something like
ORAENV_ASK=NO
ORACLE_SID={enter your SID ehere}
. oraenv
ORAENV_ASK=
Many people will suggest you set these variables in your profile. In the long term that is a bad idea (and DBAs should always be thinking in the long term) since most DBAs end up with a second database, ORACLE_HOME, upgrade or product and oraenv ensures that there will be no conflicts.

Using variables in SQL Plus Worksheet

I'm new to Oracle. I've developed in MS SQL for some time. I'm trying to debug a query we're using in an application. I paste it into SQL Plus Worksheet and get the message:
SP2-0552: Bind variable "COUNTYPK" not declared.
I could paste in a value, but I would like to define a variable before the query so that it will work the same way as it would in production.

Substitution variables in Sql*Plus

Hi all,
How to make Sql*Plus ask for the substitution variable value one time only for a substitution variable even if it appears multiple times inside a query ? Because so far each time I launched the query below then I have been asked two times by Sql*Plus for the variable value. For example : select ref_site from t_comsis where longitude_lamb + latitude_lamb < &distance + power(&distance,2).
Thanks

of course accept is more friendly, you can check for valid number, you can have a prompt or a hidden input.
you can also undef your variable if you prefer the && solution
SQL> select &&x+&&x from dual;
Enter value for x: 1
old   1: select &&x+&&x from dual
new   1: select 1+1 from dual
       1+1
         2
SQL> undef x
SQL> r
1* select &&x+&&x from dual
Enter value for x: 2
old   1: select &&x+&&x from dual
new   1: select 2+2 from dual
       2+2
         4

Using Bind variables in SQL PLUS Report

using Bind variables in SQL PLUS Report. This report gets the arguments from the application concurrent program. Now my need is to convert the start_date and end_date to bind Variables to improve the performance.

SQL*Plus variable assignment works for 8i but not 9i

We have scripts that connect to each database on the box and perform database tasks nightly. The scripts first set the environment then connects to each database with SQL*Plus. This works for 8i but fails in the recently created 9i environment. (Unix Solaris environment)
Because the SQL*Plus connection appears in many areas in the scripts, we assign the following connection string to a variable:
SQLPLUS="/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba'"
Export SQLPLUS
echo "$SQLPLUS"
(This echo out correctly: /usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba')
It fails when the script calls the assigned variable:
$SQLPLUS <<-EOF
with the following error:
Usage: SQLPLUS [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
where <option> ::= -H | -V | [ [-L] [-M <o>] [-R <n>] [-S] ]
<logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_string>] | / | /NOLOG
<start> ::= @<URI>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
"-H" displays the SQL*Plus version banner and usage syntax
"-V" displays the SQL*Plus version banner
"-L" attempts log on just once
"-M <o>" uses HTML markup options <o>
"-R <n>" uses restricted mode <n>
"-S" uses silent mode
However, if I remove the SQLPLUS variable assignment and changed all occurrence of
$SQLPLUS <<-EOF to
/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba' <<-EOF
Then the script runs successfully. But this solution is cumbersome.
Any ideas as to how to have the script work with assigning the SQLPLUS variable????
Any help is appreciated.

I has an immediate suspicion it might be related to the issue
mentioned in
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/sub_var2.html#2_7
but this proved wrong: the SP2-306 still occurs in the latest
SQL*Plus.
I wonder what version of 8i you had working? With an old SQL*Plus
8.1.7.0 my connection failed the same as in 9.2 and 10i.
My solution was to do:
SQLPLUS='sqlplus -s'
UNPW='/ as sysdba'
$SQLPLUS "$UNPW" <<EOF
EOFThis worked in 9.2.0.5, 10.1.0.2 and 8.1.7.0.
One common security risk on UNIX remains: putting the username and
password on the command line. On some systems a "ps" command will
show the password to any user. If OS authentication cannot be used
for connection, perhaps putting the username/password in the SQL
script may be more secure?
A final note is that in SQL*Plus 10g, no quotes are needed around
AS SYSDBA, i.e.
sqlplus / as sysdba works from the OS prompt, whereas in 9.2 you need to do
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"This makes a solution easy:
SQLPLUS="/usr/oracle/product/10.1.0/bin/sqlplus -s xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba"-- CJ
