Running an SQL script in the background

Hi all,
I am executing a simple but long running script. Is there a possibility to have the script executed in the background so that I can close the SQL Developer with the script still being executed?
Thanks for your help,
Jan

Yes, but you'll have to schedule it using DBMS_SHEDULER or the older DBMS_JOB package. The latter is somewhat implemented inside sqldev, using the Jobs node.
Hope that helps,
K.

Having problems trying to run a sql script using the command prompt.

I place my script at the root c:
open run SQL Command Line.
I connected to the database using connet userid/password
Then I tried to execute the script by doing
@test_add_comments
I am getting the error message.
SQL> @test_add_comments
SP2-0310: unable to open file "test_add_comments.sql"
Am I suppose to place this sql somewhere else?
test_add_comments.sql is
COMMENT ON COLUMN myTable.ID IS 'Primary Key' ;
COMMENT ON COLUMN myTable.REVIEWLOG_ID IS 'REFERENCE TO SAFE REVIEW LOG TABLE' ;
COMMENT ON COLUMN myTable.FAC_ID IS 'REFERENCE TO ALL FACILITIES' ;
COMMENT ON COLUMN myTable.HALLBUILD_ID IS 'REFERENCE TO HALL BUILDING' ;

I figure it out.
open a sql worksheet and enter the falling commands in the run script.
@c:\your_script.sql
Execute it by clicking run script.

Silent installation then run a sql script

I'm trying to do a silent install of 10g on a windows server.
I have created the response file and it works correctly.
After the oracle software has successfully installed I want to run some sql scripts on the newly created database, how do I do this automatically?
I have tried to create a batch script to do it but because the setup command opens in a separate window it never returns back to the batch script to run the sql.
install.bat:
start /wait c:\oracle_software\database\install_oraclesw.bat
call run_sqlscripts.bat
pause
install_oraclesw.bat:
setup -silent -responseFile c:\oracle_software\database\response\standard.rsp -nowait
Thanks in advance

I'm doing a 10gr1 silent install and one problem I ran into was the setup executes when cause java, then it closes, so the next step in my script executed immediately.
I had to use the choice command to bring up a prompt to pause the script.
start cmd /c setup.exe -responseFile c:\stardard.rsp -nowelcome -silent
choice /C YN /M "Press Y if install completes successufully, else press N."

How can I run a SQL script file...

How can I run a SQL script file from a location on my computer without providing the whole path?
Is there some way I can set a "Working folder" in SQL Plus??
Thanks!
Tom

You can create an environment variable called "SQLPATH" which is a list of directories that SQL*Plus will search for your .SQL
scripts.
I would like to use another directory than the oracle/bin...
How can I do this ??
Hello,
U can do this by this way:
Save odm_script.sql file to the default Oracle
directory i.e. Oracle-Home/bin and Run following command
through SQL Plus.
SQL>@Script_Name
I hope this will resolve ur problem.

How I run a shell script from the scheduler on 10.2.0.2.0 ?

Hello Oracle People,
I'd like to run a shell script from the Scheduler in my 10g database.
Right now it is a simple shell script.
Eventually it will wrap RMAN commands to back up my DB.
I wrote a simple pl/sql script to create a job:
-- cr_job10.sql
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'my_backup_job',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/h/oracle/scripts/tst.sh',
start_date => '06-SEP-07 5.33.00PM US/Pacific',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
end_date => '08-SEP-07 4.00.00PM US/Pacific',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'My Backup Job');
END;
I see no errors when I run the above procedure.
I checked DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS and the job is in there.
The scheduler, though, errors out with an error which I see in a trace file:
/h/oracle/admin/orcl/bdump/orcl_j000_22396.trc

There, I see some evidence that I need to configure something inside
of Oracle to run shell scripts from the scheduler, but possibly just
for machines running windows. I'm running Solaris.
Do any of you know what I need to configure inside of Oracle to
run shell scripts from the scheduler?
-Owen

Hello people,
I should have added this bit of information:
"The script runs fine from oracle's crontab."
"The script runs fine from a shell owned by oracle."
I'm getting responses telling me to check my env variables and permissions
which would be helpful to a UNIX novice.
I have a feeling that no one is using the scheduler to run RMAN scripts.
Tim Hall suggested I take a close look at these files:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora

I am focused on this error:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
And I am focused on this exit code: 274662
What does 274662 mean?
If the Scheduler gives me an error like "274662" rather than some English,
it's obvious to me the Scheduler is a POS and I should not use it.
And of course,
If I cannot run RMAN from Oracle Scheduler, I'll use cron.

Running OC4J on Linux in the background?

I am relatively new to Linux and have been trying to start OC4J either automatically or as a background process (so that I do not have to keep the terminal window open). I tried "$nohup java -jar oc4j.jar &", but OC4J still shuts down when I logout or exit the terminal. Does anyone know of a good way to start OC4J automatically or as a background process?

You've two choices:
- install public domain 'screen' program followed by
running oc4j in a 'screen' session and detach from
the 'screen'. BTW, 'screen' allows you to reattach
to an existing session of 'screen'
- Write a one line shell script and launch this script
in the background. Now when you exit from your shell
your oc4j will continue to run.

Running a SQL Script to Create an Object Type

When I do Database Development with JDeveloper and fellow the instruction at

and try to Running a SQL Script to Create an Object Type by Right-clicking emp_rec.sql in the editor and

Can anybody Help Me? Thanks a lot!

Hi Simon,
Having had a closer look at your original message it seems that rather than selecting the SQL*Plus executable in the directory you have managed to select the file 'D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\BIN\cemutls.exe'.
If you go to 'Tools | Preferences' and select the 'Database Connections' node and alter the 'SQL*Plus Executable' field to 'D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe' and then try again, this should then work.

I am trying to install Sample Schemas & Code.

I suspect the problem is that you are using an 11.1.0.7 client to access an 11.1.0.6 server. This configuration should work, but there was a bug at some point with new clients and old servers. In any case you would be advised to upgrade your server to either 11.1.0.7 or, at least, the latest 11.1.0.6 OLAP patch.

SCOM 2012 SP1 Update Rollup 5 - DB and DW SQL script and the Management Packs

Hi,
I am applying SCOM 2012 SP1 update rollup 5 from KB article : 2904680.
Step# 4 and 5 from the "Installation Information" sections says to run the SQL queries(UR_Datawarehouse.sql and Update_rollup_mom_db.sql) located at "%SystemDrive%\Program Files\System Center 2012 SP1\Operations
Manager\Server \SQL Script for Update Rollups\."
But I do not have "System Center 2012 SP1\Operations Manager\Server \SQL Script for Update Rollups\." folder location on my SCOM Management Servers. Similarly I do not have the MPs given in Step #6.
Can someone please let me know from where else can I get these SQL scripts and the MPs. What if I don't run these SQL scripts. Is that OK?

You will find it on below path%SystemDrive%\Program Files\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Server \SQL Script for Update Rollups\.
inside system center 2012 folder> search to Server folder and inside it you will find SQL Script

From sqlplus, you can connect as sys and run the utlxplan.sql. Then you need to grant privileges to other users and create synonyms...

Running a SQL Script during task sequence

We are about to roll out new workstations to our entire enterprise. With that rollout comes updated software. The primary application that our end users work with on a daily basis uses SQL Express 2008 R2. A challenge that we've come across
is with a SQL script that we need to run, after the workstation has joined our domain. I have created a batch file, and copied it to the same directory as the AddADGroup.sql script. I have created an application in SCCM to run the batch file and
SQL script. The following is the batch file:
@echo off
Set Path=%path%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn
echo.
SQLCMD -S .\SQLEXPRESS -U sausername -P xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -i AddADGroup.sql
echo.
What I need to know is how to get this batch file to run, and be successful (about 4000 times). Is running this batch file the best practice? If not, what is the alternative?
Thanks! Nate
