Running a SQL*Plus command from Java

I have a requirement to run SQL* Plus commands from Java. The results as they would appear in SQL*Plus window or spool file should be captured and stored in a table.
For example,
SQL> select * from dual;
D
X
1 row selected;
SQL>
All the lines above should be stored for later use.
Could any one give pointers?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,



public class RuntimeExecApp {
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
r.exec("C:\\Oracle\\sqlplus.exe");
}

How to issue a SQL*Plus command from PL/SQL program?

Thanks.

You can't issue a SQL*PLus command from a PL/SQL program. If you can tell us more about what you are trying to do, perhaps we can offer a substitute.

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.

Does SQL Developer have any way to run the SQL*PLUS COPY FROM command?

set arraysize 100;
set copycommit 100;
COPY FROM SCOTT/TIGER@OtherDBinstance -
CREATE COMPANY -
USING SELECT * from COMPANY;

Thanks. I have been using the create table ABC as select * from ABC@otherdb but this often runs into temp segment issues for very large tables. The SQL*PLUS version allows me to have the copy commit save after each xxxxx lines and this seems to be able to handle any size table. Can copy commit be used from SQL Developer?

Execute SQL*PLUS script from VB6?

I'm using VB6 to connect to oracle 10 with oracle client 8i, I can establish the connection without any problems.
If I run a SQL statement from VB it works prefect, but when I try to run a SQL Plus script from VB I get error ORA-00900, "invalid SQL statement". Everything works fine in oracle SQLPLUS.
Is there anything I have missed about running SQL*PLUS script from VB6? Is'nt it the same as a SQL statement?

Thanks for you answer Justin,
This is a short variant of SQL*Plus I wanna execute from VB and transfer the result into a listview in VB.
If this is possible from VB, can you show me how I should do?

Running ls command from Java stroed procedure no output

Hi ,
I am trying to run ls command from java stored procedure in oracle
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
// read the output from the command
System.out.println("output of the command run:\n");
while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(s);
from java stored procedure in oracle.
i get output of println statments but it does not go into while loop to print from stdInput.
Result of running Java stored procedure is -
output of the command run:
Call completed.
when i run the program on client side it works fine.
Has anybody tried this from java stroed procedure.
Thanks,
Jag

Jag,
Actually, the question of whether it works for me seems to depend on the version of the OS (or Oracle). On RedHat Linux (Oracle 8.1.6) it didn't work at all, but on Solaris (Oracle 9.0.2) it did. Here's the output from that run:
SQL> /
output of the command run:
init.ora
initDBPart9i.DBPSun01.ora
initdw.ora
lkDBPART9I
orapw
orapwDBPart9i
spfileDBPart9i.ora
Done
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
But, I did need to change a line of your code to this:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/bin/ls");
your original was:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");
You might consider, if possible, use of some of the Java File classes instead of ls, as this might make things more predictable for you. There were some examples in oramag.com a few months ago, but they were pretty simple (you might not need them).
Hope this helps,
-Dan

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

How to run system commands from JAVA

Hi Friends,
How to run windows system commands from JAVA
Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();
r.exec("dir");
Throwing following Exception
CreateProcess :dir error=2
Thanks in advance
Hamsa

Hi ,
in Windows NT this is not possible, you can use the following :
Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();
StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
String dir = new String();
java.lang.Process proc = r.exec("cmd /c dir");
InputStream is = proc.getInputStream();
int ch ;
while((ch=is.read() ) != -1)
sbuf.append((char)ch);
is.close();
dir = sbuf.toString();
System.out.println(dir );

Fire OMB Plus commands from PL/SQL

Hi all,
does anyone know if it is possible to fire OMB Plus commands from PL/SQL procedures?
I can imagine that there might be a PL/SQL package in the repository owner schema that accepts OMB Plus commands as strings...or something similar...
Thanks,
Elio

Hi Elio
I don't know about any existing package that could do that.
What I'd suggest is to build a stored procedure/function/package that could do that. Or even, execute OMB Scripts in the host from a pl/sql program.
Good luck.
Regards,
Marcos

Running OpenVMS DCL command from Java

Call an interactive UNIX command from java

Hi,
I want to call a UNIX command from java. When issue the command 'htpasswd -c filename username' on UNIX terminal, it asks for the new password and the then confirmation password again (yeah, unfortunately the htpasswd installed on our system does not allow you proivde the password on the command line. So have to work interactively ). Now, I have written a simple java program RunCommand.java. I am hardcoding the password for the htpasswd command in the file (in the real situation, password will be generated dynamically). I want to issue 'java RunCommand' on the UNIX command line and get back the command prompt without being asked for the password twice. The code is below, but the Outputstream does not work as expected. It always asks for inputs. Any idea? Many thanks.
import java.io.*;
public class RunCommand {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
String s = null;
try {
String cmd = "htpasswd -c filename username ";
// run a Unix command
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
OutputStream stdOut = p.getOutputStream();
String pswd = "mypassword";
while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
     s = stdInput.readLine();
     stdOut.write(pswd.getBytes());
     stdOut.flush();
System.out.println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n");
while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(s);
stdOut.close();
stdInput.close();
stdError.close();
System.exit(0);
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("exceptions caught: ");
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);

How to execute Linux command from Java app.

Hi all,
Could anyone show me how to execute Linux command from Java app. For example, I have the need to execute the "ls" command from my Java app (which is running on the Linux machine), how should I write the codes?
Thanks a lot,

You can use "built-in" shell commands, you just need to invoke the shell and tell it to run the command. See the -c switch in the man page for your shell. But, "ls" isn't built-in anyays.
If you use exec, you will want to set the directory with the dir argument to exec, or add it to the command or cmdarray. See the API for the variants of java.lang.Runtime.exec(). (If you're invoking it repeatedly, you can most likely modify a cmdarray more efficiently than having exec() decompose your command).
You will also definitely want to save the returned Process and read the output from it (possibly stderr too and get an exit status). See API for java.lang.Process. Here's an example
java.io.BufferedReader br =
new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(
Runtime.getRuntime().exec ("/sbin/ifconfig ppp0").
getInputStream()));
while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {...

}Help please.

Your code is probably good to run a program, that does not use terminal capabilities.
Program "top" is a little bit more complicated - you have to run it with a real terminal.
Try to run "xterm -e top". You can find an example how to run an external program
from java code in cnd/gdb module on http://cnd.netbeans.org
For example, take a look at openExternalProgramIOWindow() method on this page:
http://cnd.netbeans.org/source/browse/cnd/gdb/src/org/netbeans/modules/cnd/debugger/gdb/proxy/Attic/GdbProxyCL.java?rev=1.1.2.6.2.5&only_with_tag=release551_fixes&view=markup
It runs a command with external terminal.

Nik
