Run multiple reports from PL/SQL

I am planning to run reports from a PL/SQL batch program. My requirement is i need to generate multiple(around 50) reports with only a difference in one numeric parameter which will go from 1 to 50. I am planning to invoke the report inside a loop which goes from 1..50. I heard that i need to use a utl_http package which i havent used till now. Does somone has a sample code for running a report from pl/sql. i need it ASAP. Thanks in advance

hi rejesh,
we have an pl/sql API in reports to do exactly what you want to do.
The Reports Event Driven Publishing API
find the documentation including examples in the reports getting
started on technet.

Copying SQL Script from Oracle SQL Developer into Excel with formatting

I need to copy a SQL Script into Excel in order to develop some VBA code. Is there any nice way that I can copy SQL Script from Oracle SQL Developer into Excel and retain its formatting? I am a stickler for having legible, readable SQL and like to have all my columns lined up and aliases lined up. When we used to use SQL Navigator, the tab formatting seemed to copy and paste just fine. Now that we have migrated to Oracle SQL Developer, the formatting seems to get all messed up.
And suggestions are greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for an answer.
Thanks.
PSULionRP

I suppose you want a real tabulator instead of spaces. You can configure this in the preferences (SQL Formatter - Oracle). You have to apply it then to your existing code (e.g. CTRL-F7), but new code should get it right from the start.
Hope that helps,
K.

How to call one .sql file from other .sql

I am trying to call no of .sql files from one .sql file.
But it gives me error in SQL*PLUS that unable to open file.
Suggest me solution.
Thanks
Chanda

Are the sql files in the current directories where sqlplus has been started ?
If not, did you give the full path name for the called sql files when calling them from sqlplus ?
Could you give us the complete sqlplus command that you use to call your files and the physical location of the called files with the exact error message ?

Call HOST cmd from PL/SQL Block

Hi ,

execute immediate 'host('c:\file.bat')';
dbms_output.put_line('Executed');
end;
but,It gives an error msg on execute immediate stmt.
Plz resolve this problem.
Rgrds,

You are confusing SQL*Plus's command (a client) with that of PL/SQL.
Just as you cannot code C# commands, or Perl commands, or PHP commands in PL/SQL, you cannot code SQL*Plus commands in PL/SQL.
SQL*Plus runs on your client platform. It has a couple of commands.
PL/SQL is a server side programming language. This runs inside the Oracle server process servicing the client.
This server process does not know your client language commands. Nor can this server process hack across the network, break into your computer, and access your local file called c:\file.bat.
Yes, you can execute server o/s commands and execute server programs from PL/SQL via a Java stored procedure or via the EXTPROC interface. Refer to the sample code in [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1439836#1439836]this thread on how to call server o/s commands and server programs.

How to call SQL script from PL/SQL block

Hi All,
I have a pl/sql block from which i need to call a *.sql script file.
Please tell me that how can i do this?
Thanks and Regards.

> Though just for knowledge sake, would you please tell if there is a way
to call a sql script from a pl/sql block.
This question stems usually from a confusion about client-server and which is which in Oracle.
SQL*Plus is a client. PL/SQL is a server side language. SQL is a server side language.
When entering either one of these two languages in SQL*Plus (or TOAD, SQL-Developer, etc), the content is shipped to an Oracle server process, is parsed there, and is executed there.
The Oracle server process servicing the client can accept a single SQL statement or PL/SQL block at a time.
It cannot accept a block of SQL statements delimited with a semicolon. That is a client concept where the client will read each delimited statement and send that, one after the other (in synchronous call mode) to the Oracle server for execution.
The Oracle server does not have a "script parser". It understands SQL. It understands PL/SQL. And that is what it expects from the client.
Whether the client supports the SET command, the HOST command, SPOOL command, ability to run scripts, and so... have no bearing on what the server itself is capable of doing. The server does not care what feature set the client has. It is tasked with servicing the client via SQL and PL/SQL.
It is not tasked to support or emulate client features like running SQL scripts.
Nor confuse PL/SQL with the very limited command set of SQL*Plus. The two has nothing in common. And just as PL/SQL cannot understand C# or Delphi commands, it cannot understand SQL*Plus commands.

Error run a procedure from select sql

Hi,
I want run a procedure from a easy sql select.
I have write this code to run this procedure, but response with a oracle error:
select [procedure_name](:data1, :data2) as test from dual
the oracle error is this:
ORA-00904: "procedurename": invalid identifier
how to resolve this problem?
thanks
Edited by: user10943416 on 12-mag-2010 3.12

select [procedure_name](:data1, :data2) as test from dualAside from the error Oracle already reported, you can't execute a procedure from a select statement.
You need to do this:
SQL> exec procedure_name(:data1, :data2);

How to run OS commands from PL/SQL???

Hi
Is there any way to run OS commands(Windows Platform) from within PL/SQL?
Thanks

APC,
I am working on Discoverer, having lots of BAs & Workbooks created & stored in Database. Now if i want to move all the workbooks from one place to another (like from development to test or production) i can use Command line interface of Disco to do this. But i don't see any option there to export all the workbooks, so i thought of writing a pl/sql to get all the workbook names from the EUL then fire export Command for each record(although not a good practice but its a one time work). This is the place where i need to run OS command from within PL/SQL. Although it doesn't seem possible now(as you all said) without external procedure.
Lastly, you are right that "Oracle make databases not operating systems" but my first impression/comment about oracle is:
"Oracle is far Bigger, Powerful, Complex, Vast and Interesting System than any other..." so i believe it can do/capable doing anything :-)
thx Ashutosh,
Host is definitely an option but i can't run it from pl/sql(that i am looking for)..

Running sql commands from a .sql file

Hello , I have this problem. How do i execute sql commands found in a .sql file with jdbc. My RDBMS is mysql.

You will have to open and parse the .sql file, connect to the database, and execute the statements. You can't simply tell JDBC to run your .sql file.
Depending on the complexity of your .sql file this is easy or hard. If its a bunch of e.g. updates or deletes or something you may be able to get away with running it as a block. In Oracle for example, you can put "begin" and "end;" around a bunch of statements and run it all together. In that case your program would open the SQL file, read the text, put it inside a "begin" and "end;", and run it as a single SQL statement.
If its a bunch of statements that must be run independently then you'll have to programatically split them up to run one at a time. If its a select and you want to e.g. print results to the screen, well, then it gets tougher...

Run OS command from Pl/SQL

Is there any way to execute an OS command from pl/sql other than using dbms_pipe & pro*C combo. I have done this way before but it seems there is built-in oracle package which can do this in 8/8i.
Also HOST command in forms will execute the OS coomand from the clinet. Is there any way to execute the OS command on the server from the forms clinet?
thanks,

SQL Injection from PL/SQL function.

WE have some issues with a third party application which has vulnerabilities to SQL Injection, we have delivered a proof of concept to the developers demonstrating that it is possible to return additional (unrestricted) results to the front end, we have also found the following function in the back end. Assuming that its possible to call this function (which it is) and we can pass in whatever we want and that the user has exp_full_database and imp_full_database roles granted is there anything destructive possible with the following function?
FUNCTION row_count (tab_name VARCHAR2) RETURN INTEGER AS
rows INTEGER;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' || tab_name INTO rows;
RETURN rows;
END;
