File Ownership while executing sql script from stored procedure

We have a test_command.sql script which is spooling the result into a file. From database we have one Store Procedure(run_sql) which is
calling and executing the .sql script.
When we are calling the sql script directly from the database, i e SQL > @/dccops/test_command.sql it is creating the
file under the Ownership of OS user which is connected to the system.
The problem we are facing is when we are executing the stored procedure i e exec run_sql(), the file is creating under
Oracle User.
Could u please suggest me a solution inorder to create the output file under the user who is logged to the OS.

First of all, your usage of IM speak is NOT appreciated. Please do not address anyone as if they were a 12-year old.
'Our Applcation is in C. So we have to call the procedure to run the sql script.'
This is just utter nonsense!
Oracle has Pro*C which allows Embedded SQL in C. There is also OCI (Oracle Call Interface) to call Oracle directly in C, and there is OCCI, to do the same in C++.
Apart from that, Oracle has Ole DB for Windows platforms, to allow for a .NET compatible interface to Oracle.
There is NO NEED AT ALL to call PL/SQL to run a SQL script.

Getting windows error during running the sql scripts from form 6i

I made a little form application. The purpose of this application is to generate explain plan for a particular SQL. Some sql scripts run internally in order to populate the result on forms screen after pressing the forms button but I am getting windows error during running the sql scripts from form 6i.
I am using forms 6i with patch 17 with Oracle 10G database on windows 2000 professional on same computer.
This application runs fine with 8i.
Please inform me where the problem is and how to overcome it.

Returning SQL cursor from Stored Procedure

Hi,
I have a query regarding returning sql cursor from stored procedure to java in oracle 11g.
I want to query some data ex: my query returns A, B, C. Also, now I want to query some other data ex: D, E, F. Now I want to return this data as an sql cursor as a single row . Example: A,B,C,D,E,F. Is it possible to return/create a cursor in stored procedure?
assume both query returns equal number of rows.. however both are not related to each other..

assume both query returns equal number of rows.. however both are not related to each other..It sounds like what you need is a ref cursor.
First thing to remember though is that cursors do not hold any data (see: {thread:id=886365})
In it's simplest form you would be creating a procedure along these lines...
SQL> create or replace procedure get_data(p_sql in varchar2, p_rc out sys_refcursor) is
2 begin
3    open p_rc for p_sql;
4 end;
5 /

Calling a perl script from stored procedure

Can anyone tell me how to call/run a perl script from a stored procedure? If you have a sample code, please include it.
Thanks in advance

If you have a web server setup that runs perl, you can do this by using the utl_http package...Here is some code I use to run a perl script and print the results to a web page on our site.
The in_URL parameter is the address of the perl code(i.e. http://website/path/perlscript?param1=value1&param2=value2 etc)
PROCEDURE call_perl(in_URL VARCHAR2) IS
/* This is setup to allow a perl program to be submitted as a batch program
using the standard Portal batch program.
Sometimes these jobs take a long time to run, so the timeout value must
be set to a large value. The default timeout is 60 seconds, which is not long enough. */
req utl_http.req;
resp utl_http.resp;
value VARCHAR2(1024);
BEGIN
req := utl_http.begin_request(replace(utl_url.escape(replace(in_URL,'%3A',':')),CHR(13)));
utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(req, 18000); -- Set timeout to 5 hours for this specific request.
resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
LOOP
utl_http.read_line(resp, value, TRUE);
htp.p(value);
END LOOP;
utl_http.end_response(resp);
EXCEPTION WHEN utl_http.end_of_body THEN
utl_http.end_response(resp);
WHEN utl_http.init_failed THEN
htp.p('INIT FAILED');
WHEN utl_http.request_failed THEN
htp.p('REQUEST FAILED');
htp.p(NVL(utl_http.get_detailed_sqlerrm,' No more detail available.'));
END;
If you don't have a web server setup, I don't know offhand how you could do this.

Running Unix script from stored procedure

At present, I run a unix script to export my data for backup using telnet. I would like my users to run the commands on their own without my help. My users do not know telnet (they have no IT knowledge). So, I plan to create a form using Developer/2000 and let them run the procedure thru a stored procedure.But, my problem is how can a stored procedure call a unix script?

Hi,
solution, used by me.
Create a stored procedure that produces a text file with utl_file. The content of the file is the script you want to execute on your Unix box.
On your Unix Box write a shell script that scans the utl_file_dir for Files. If a file is in, chmod 744 to grnt execute rights to it and execute it.
I have a example if you want.
Start the script with crontab or let it loop with a sleep inside.

You need to put your select statement in a parameterised function that returns a REF CURSOR. This is all well documented in the PL/SQL users guide.
Then you amend your SQL*PLUS script to call the function
VAR rc REFCURSOR
EXEC :rc := yr_function('&1')
PRINT rc

Calling shell script from stored procedure.

Hi Everybody,
Could anyone tell me how to call a shell script from a stored procedure.
Thanks,
Vasu

You would need to write a Java stored procedure that calls out to the underlying operating system. Tom Kyte has an example of this here
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:952229840241
Make sure that you're very aware of the security implications here, however. Your commands will run as the Oracle user on the host operating system, which makes it possible that a coding error and/or an attacker could do something like delete or corrupt Oracle data files, so you'll probably want to harden the code substantially.

OEM12c Job - Run a SQL Script from a central location against multiple targets

Hi All:
I need to execute a SQL script that can be run as OEM Job against multiple targets from a single location so that the output csv files are all in that central location. My problem is that the sql script job documentation says "Make sure that the script file is installed in the appropriate location on all targets". Is anyone aware of a way I can do this so that the SQl script is executed from a location on my OMS console?
Cheers

Hi
Create SQL job to run against on the server. Save those results (csv) file in local target. And crete one OS job, to collect all csv files into your OMS Console.

How to execute .sql file in Stored Procedure?

Hi,
I have an urgent requirement, where i have to execute .sql file form Stored Procedure.
This .sql file will have set of update statement. I need to pass value to this update statement.
Kindly please help me.
Regards,
Irfan

This is required as part of Data Migration where i have to do 100 of table's update. Each time update table will defer, so its better to have in separate script file (.sql). Can u paste some sample/syntax to exceute .sql file from stored procedure. I am new to this PL/SQL.
How have you determined that it's "better" to have seperate scripts? I assume you mean the table name will "differ" (and not "defer" - I assume that's just because English isn't your first language? no problem - I think I understand what you're asking).
So what I think you're asking is that you have dynamic table names but each table needs to be updated in the same way?
Question: Why do you have tables with different names that all need the same process doing to them?
Assuming it's a valid requirement (and 99% of the time doing dynamic coding implies it's not).... you could use dynamic code, rather than 'scripts'...
e.g.
create procedure update_table(tbl_name varchar2) is
begin
execute immediate 'update '||tbl_name||' set lastupdate = null';
end;
As you haven't bothered to provide a database version, any example code/data or explanation of what you're actually doing, you're not going to get any detailed answer. Please do take the time to read the FAQ and post appropriate details so people can help you.

Running sql script from pl/sql

Is there any standard way to run an external sql script from pl/sql
I really appreciate any assistance.

If you want, I did start writing a function reading and executing statements out of sql script with utl_file.
can I issue this command in PL/SQL: EXECUTE IMMEDIATE '@filename.sql';
the function could be extended for DDL, session setting, etc...

Running SQL scripts from CF server

Hi,
I'm new to ColdFusion, but not to database or web
development. I'm wondering if there's anyway I can run a SQL script
on a database from my CF server. I'm running CF 5 on a 2003 Windows
server with a couple Oracle 9i DBs on the backend. I want to move
data from one DB to the other, but can't use a DB link between the
two, so a colleague suggested using CF to migrate the data. Is this
possible?
Thanks

It's possible. For each db, cold fusion needs a connection
and sufficient permissions.
