How to run import from Unix Oracle 8.0.5 database with Windows Oracle client?
How to run import from Unix Oracle 8.0.5 database via network with Windows Oracle client? Is it possible? When I try to do it Oracle client just hangs... If not which ones are compatible Aix or Solaris to Unix or it must be a Unix client to connect to Unix Oracle database. Thank's for any help.
Hi,
In our project we are using this type. Since in this project server in UNIX(DEC) and client is running on windows. We have created a listener which always listen requests from client and doing the according to the request.
Step1. create a request table, where u are inserting ur request.
step2. create PRO*C proram, which is listening request on the table. If there is any request, call the imp (executable). This is happening on server side.
Benifit. U can make a request from cleint and ftp the file client sit.
Are u interested in more details and code, pls send a mail to me

Can anybody tell me how to run PL/SQL Procedure from unix prompt.
You can start a sqlplus script from unix prompt, e.g.
sqlplus <youruser>/<yourpassword>@<yourdb> @yourscript.sqlEdited by: hm on 01.01.2011 02:33 -
I am wondering if there is a way to do this with certain restrictions. If not, I can do it another way.
1. I have a list of values in a unix .txt file of the form
VALUEA
VALUEB
VALUEC
I know how to read a list in unix using a loop.
2. I want to call a pl/sql anonymous block that I have in a .sql file 1 time for every value in this script and pass the value.
I do know how to read a value and then pass it to a pl/sql parameter and then call the pl/sql parameter.
What I don't know how to do is
Do this with only logging into sqlplus one time. I dont want to do the following
unix runs in a loop
reads 1 record from file
logs into sqlplus
runs the procedure and passes the value
log out of sqlplus
end loop
I want to
1. read all the values from the file
2. store it somehow in memory (variable of some sort)
3. pass this value to the pl/sql procedure
I do not want to make any objects in the database such as a global temporary table.
Yes I can actually do this, but wondering if it is possible to avoid. Makes it easier to deploy to alot of different databases. If I have to make a database object, then i have to make an object in alot of databases. If I can run it all from unix, all I have to do is change the target and the password. So it is easier to deploy.I don't need to put this in an Oracle Directory. I am not calling anything from pl/sql stored in the database. It is going to all be done with unix scripts and anonymous block sql in .sql statements in the OS. This allows me to take advantage of clustered storage (I can have alot of databases servers mounted on 1 directory). So the unix script will log into oracle and call the .sql script.
I can build the pl/sql dynamically. I'd rather not do that. The thing is I have alot of databases I want to deploy code to. So I am trying to come up with a pattern I can follow. So if I add a new database or what to deploy somewhere else, I can just use add a line to a file.
Adding database objects every time I need to deploy to a new database is a pain. It is far more scaleable to handle all of this in unix.

Remotely running SQL from PowerShell
Hi
I work for a Software House where checking files versions, running SQL to check tables is becoming run-of-the mill :)
I'm very new to PowerShell so far and have just been playing about to find that I can remotely check file-versions ok. Now onto the other side of the coin....running SQL to check tables is the next thing I need to learn.
Just for a heads-up. Most of the servers I connect to are running MS SQL Server 2003 (unfortanately) which is why I want to remotely check the servers without connecting in via Remote Desktop Session. With MS Server 2003, if I use a Remote Desktop
Session, I've found that I would have to download PowerShell (v1) and then have to configure it to allow it to run my .ps1 scripts which would also become cumbersome.
Can anyone give me a start and say how to remotely connect to and SQL database and then run a simple SELECT statement from PowerShell please. I can then build my powershell scripts up from there.
Kind Regards
MattHi

hi,
i want to run sql script from PL/SQL,
in my PL/SQL,i have given the path within the double quotes,
@"/usr/local/pbiace/current/bin/handle.sql" but while running the script im getting some exception.
pls guide me.....What is your OS.
First example, divide three part scritps and then
cat beforepart.sql account.sql afterpart.sql | sqlplus user/password@connectstring
type beforepart.sql+account.sql+afterpart.sql | sqlplus user/password@connectstring
Second example, divide two part scripts.
acc2.sql
declare HandleN varchar(20);
begin
select pbhandlenamelower INTO HandleN from pb_handle where pbhandleid in(select max(pbhandleid)
from pb_handle where ha_customerentityid in (select acct_customerentityid from account
where acct_accountid = &1 )) AND pbmainhandleflag=1 ;
do.pl('==============================') ;
do.pl('Handle Name: ' || HandleN ) ;

select BI_ACCOUNTID into :variable1 from pb_bill_info where PBBTN=data;
do.pl('BI_ACCOUNTID');
do.pl('------------');
do.pl(:variable1);

Third Example
create or replace directory SCRIPTS_DIR as 'path name'

Hi,
for audit reasons we need to run a report again. Therefore a changed the where-clause of the report. Since the report needs to run on our production system and the prodcution-version of the report can not be changed, I need to run the report from the unix prompt. Can anyone tell me how to run an Oracle reports 2.5 from the uni prompt. We are using Oracle Applications and therefor still on reports 2.5....
I tried to run the report from the client, but since the report fetches alot of data, my harddrive with 1.7GB of free space ran out of resources. Therefore I can only run the report on the production system (a little bit more resources...).
Thanks in advance, Roel.Hi Roel,
Go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory. You can see the reports executables r25runm - Runtime, r25clim - Client.
You can run your report like this:
r25runm report=myreport.rdf userid=scott/tiger@mydb destype=file desformat=pdf desname=myreport.pdf
(or)
r25clim report=myreport.rdf userid=scott/tiger@mydb destype=file desformat=pdf desname=myreport.pdf server=myserver
Please, Change the desformat and destype as per your requirement.

For any of you who wanted to be able to query the database from OMB+ in order to gather object metadata or whatever as part of your deployment scripts, you have no doubt noticed (to your frustration) that this functionality is not provided.
Sure, you can trigger execution of a sql/plus script as an external process, but that's hardly interactive now is it?
the good news is that OMB+ DOES provide access to the standard java package, which of course means that you can utilize the standard java.sql classes, which means - JDBC.
Here is a very simple starting point for you that provides simple connect, disconnect, and run query abilities. There is no exception handling and you'd need to add other functionality to execute prepared statements like procedure calls, or do DML like insert/update statement.
Still, I hope that you find it of use as a starting point - if you need it. For documentation on the java.sql interfaces, go to the Sun Java Docs page at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/ and scroll down to the java.sql package in the top left pane.
Cheers,
Mike

Now, I suppose that it should be possible to add OraTcl as an external library, however the Oratcl distribution makes use of the TCL "load" command to load their binaries.
You will quickly find that Oracle has also disabled the standard TCL "load" command in OMB+, thus making very difficult to add third-party plug-in packages.
If you can find a pure-TCL script db interface similar to OraTcl to manage SQL*Plus connections that doesn't use any of the TCL commands that ORacle has disabled - well then you could probably get those to load as packages.
Or, like me, you could just use the supplied java interface and code your own as needed.

Running SQLPLUS from UNIX shell script
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but...
How can I execute a sql file from inside the UNIX shell script, logging on to Oracle w/o supplying a UID/pwd? Normally, we log into UNIX using our own logon, then sudo as another user to login to Oracle. Now, I'm trying to create a UNIX shell script, where I'm already sudo'd as the UserID that logs into Oracle. I've tried the following, but can't get it to work. I'm a UNIX scripting noob. Any ideas?
example:
#! /usr/bin/ksh
sqlplus / \@test.sql << EOF
exit;
EOFI'm a UNIX scripting noob.In which case I feel obligated to point you at William Robertson's excellent article Database Shellscripts Considered Harmful. Save yourself a world of pain.

I was wondering if there is anyway that if I were to boot into unix I could then open the finder? I dont know too much about unix but is this possible? thank you
hi sorry i didnt see the unix forum, ill post there next time.
but what i am trying to do is my friends brother said his computer would only start up into unix asking for a name and password and then he didnt how to get it to boot into the finder. i can get around in unix but when it comes to the advanced things im totally useless. i was wondering if there is anyway to open the finder GUI from the unix CLI environment. thanks, hope that makes sense -
Hi.
I build record groups that display information for the user. These record groups are built on custom SQL that the user can add themselves. As this is open to errors I want to add a "Check Syntax" button.
All it needs to do is run the query that the user types in and ensure it runs successfully and the required columns are in place. The entire SQL statement is held within a text item.
If it errors i want to notify the user of the error that sql would produce,
Any ideas on the best way to acheive this?
Thanksi think with Dynamic SQL u can do this
Set the query of Text item in a string and execute it using Dynamic query
Execute immediate syntax
Any error comes in Dynamic query return it to user

Script fails when passing values from pl/sql to unix variable
Script fails when passing values from pl/sql to unix variable
Dear All,
I am Automating STATSPACK reporting by modifying the sprepins.sql script.
Using DBMS_JOB I take the snap of the database and at the end of the day the cron job creates the statspack report and emails it to me.
I am storing the snapshot ids in the database and when running the report picking up the recent ids(begin snap and end snap).
From the sprepins.sql script
variable bid number;
variable eid number;

select begin_snap into :bid from db_snap;
select end_snap into :eid from db_snap;
end;
This fails with the following error:

Unable to run reports from the unix command line
hi
all of a sudden i am unable to run reports ( on App server 10g) either from the unix scripts or from the unix command line. But i can run them from the forms.
Any one have any idead about this.
Thank youthanks all for replying
i have set the env variables for the session and it worked. Looks like i have to set the oracle_home and ld_library_path every time ( opening a new putty session) i call sqlldr.
But in a whole i am trying to run sql loader from the forms. Right now we have Oracle app server 10g which forms 10g version. As oracle app server 10g didnt come with sqlldr, we are copied the sqlldr of database on to app server with different home. after this we can run sqlldr ( on app server ) from unix scripts but not from Forms. Then we opened a qurey with oracle about app server 10g not commig with sqlldr and its remedy . But they said that they dont have specific remedy for that and suggested the same what we did.
So we came up with java package which does the same funtion as host command and trying to run sqlldr which is on the database( ie replacing the host command in the forms with the database funtion). By using that funtion i am able to run the sqlldr from sql plus but not from forms. I couldnt easily debug it as i wont through any error messages.
Any one have any idea of this ...
Thank you
