Running ".sh" file from a stored procedure

Hi,
I need to call a file.sh linux bat file whit arguments from a stored procedure.
How can I do?
Thanks in advance...

Hi rajni,
I've tryed your solution but it doesn't work, for the same reason that yuo can see here:
Re: questions about dbms_scheduler.create_job (ORA-27371)
I've also tryed the solution of the "user534897", but it doesn't work too.
At execution time Oracle give me this error:
ORA-29540: class djv_osCommand does not exist
ORA-06512: at "CICCSV.DPK_OSCOMMAND", line 5
ORA-06512: at "CICCSV.DPK_OSCOMMAND", line 28
ORA-06512: at "CICCSV.DFN_mkdir", line 5
ORA-06512: at line 8
If you have any other idea or suggestion you're welcome. At the moment I've no solution for my problem.
Thanks in advance.

Executing batch file from Java stored procedure hang

Dears,
I'm using the following code to execute batch file from Java Stored procedure, which is working fine from Java IDE JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
public static String runFile(String drive)
String result = "";
String content = "echo off\n" + "vol " + drive + ": | find /i \"Serial Number is\"";
try {
File directory = new File(drive + ":");
File file = File.createTempFile("bb1", ".bat", directory);
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
fw.write(content);
fw.close();
// The next line is the command causing the problem
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
input.close();
file.delete();
result = result.substring( result.lastIndexOf( ' ' )).trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
result = e.getClass().getName() + " : " + e.getMessage();
return result;
The above code is used in getting the volume of a drive on windows, something like "80EC-C230"
I gave the SYSTEM schema the required privilege to execute the code.
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV TO SYSTEM;
I have used the following to load the class in Oracle 9ir2 DB:
loadjava -u [system/******@orcl|mailto:system/******@orcl] -v -resolve C:\Server\src\net\dev\Util.java
CREATE FUNCTION A1(drive IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'net.dev.Util.a1(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
The problem that it hangs when I execute the call to the function (I have indicated the line causing the problem in a comment in the code).
I have seen similar problems on other forums, but no solution posted
[http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-jdeveloper-l/run-an-exe-file-using-oracle-database-trigger-1567662]
I have posted this in JDeveloper forum ([t-853821]) but suggested to post for forum in DB.
Can anyne help?

Dear Peter,
You are totally right, I got this as mistake copy paste. I'm just having a Java utility for running external files outside Oracle DB, this is the method runFile()
I'm passing it the content of script and names of file to be created on the fly and executed then deleted, sorry for the mistake in creating caller function.
The main point, how I claim that the line in code where creating external process is the problem. I have tried the code with commenting this line and it was working ok, I made this to make sure of the permission required that I need to give to the schema passing security permission problems.
The function script is running perfect if I'm executing vbs script outside Oracle using something like "cscript //NoLogo aaa1.vbs", but when I use the command line the call just never returns to me "cmd.exe /c bb1.bat".
where content of bb1.bat as follows:
echo off
vol C: | find /i "Serial Number is"
The above batch file just get the serial number of hard drive assigned when windows formatted HD.
Same code runs outside Oracle just fine, but inside Oracle doesn't return if I exectued the following:
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
Never returns
Thanks for tracing teh issue to that details ;) hope you coul help.

Accessing files from Java Stored Procedures

I am trying to access a file from a Java Stored Procedure but get the exception: "no such file or directory". The path and filename as seen by the database JVM is "\\wgcaub01\a1500is\fabi\mmv\mmvtestdata.txt".
I have granted permissions to open the file using:
call dbms_java.grant_permission('MMV', 'java.io.FilePermission', '\\\\wgcaub01\\a1500is\\fabi\\mmv\\mmvtestdata.txt', 'read');
a) When I run the program as a Java class using a main method it works so the problem has to do with the Oracle JVM not finding the file.
b) The MMV user has permissions on the file after granting them using the above dbms_java.grant_permission command.
Can you tell me what am I missing? Is this a database configuration issue? Is there a problem with using a UNC path?
(I am using FileReader and BufferedReader.)

Vincent,
Not sure if this is the cause of your problem, but I had some Java code which read from/wrote to a file, and I needed to run the following (you can obviously change <<ALL FILES>> to something more restrictive):
declare
security_key number;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('DAN', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read,write,execute,delete', security_key);
dbms_java.grant_permission('DAN', 'java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', NULL, security_key);
dbms_java.grant_permission('DAN', 'java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', NULL, security_key);
end;
Note that the security_key won't be set if the grant didn't work.
Hope this helps,
-Dan

How can I write to a (external)file from a stored procedure

I want to write some data to a (external) file. I have it working with the function UTL_FILE.
My problem is I want to write to a file on a mapped drive (so a drive on a different machine). This is not working.
Does anyone know a way to build this.
Please send your responses to [email protected]
Many thanks,
Alex Nagtegaal

an extraction out of expert one-on-one from Thomas Kyte
<quote>
when an oracle istance is created the services that support it are setup to 'log on as' the system (or operating system) account, this account has very few privileges and no acces to Window NT Domains. To access another Windows NT machine the OracleServiceXXXX must be setup to logon to the appropriate Windows NT Domain as a user who has acces to the required location for UTL_FILE.
To change the default logon for the Oracle services go to (in Windows NT):
Control Panel | Services | OracleServiceXXXX | startup | log on as; (where XXXX is the instance name)
In Windows 2000, this would be:
Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services | OracleServiceXXX | Properties | Log on tab; (again XXXX is the instance name)
Choose the This Account radio button, and then complete the appropriate domain login information. ONce the services have been setup as a user with the appropriate privileges, ther are two options dfor setting UTL_FILE_DIR:
* Mapped Dirve: To use a mapped drive, the user that the service starts as must have setup a drive to match UTL_FILE_DIR and be logged onto the server when UTL_FILE is in use.
* Universal Naming Convention: UNC is preferable to Mapped Drives because it does not require anyone to be logged on and utl_file_dir should be set to a name in the form \\<machine name>\<share name>\<path>
You will of course need to stop and restart Oracle after changing the properties of the service.

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,

Call a Vbscript from a stored procedure

Hi,
I wonder is it possible to call a Vbscript from a stored procedure, any good reference for this.
thanks

Well here is quick and dirty example I just created.
Step 1. Create a test_batch.bat file that creates a folder "c:\test_dir" and copy "c:emp.lst" into it.
C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat
md c:\test_dir
copy c:\emp.lst c:\test_dir
Step2. From SQLPLUS, spool scott.emp into c:\emp.lst and call the batch from the dbms_scheduler that kicks off right away,
set echo off
set feedback off
spool c:\emp.lst;
select * from scott.emp;
spool off;
begin
     dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name => 'run_batch',
     job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
     job_action => 'C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat',
     start_date => sysdate,
     enabled => true,
     comments => 'Run VB Script');
end;
Check if the directory is created and if the file is copied over. Task is to kick off the executable and test is the VBscript within the batch. Challenge is how long the script runs before the next statement in the PL/SQL runs. May be you have to introduce sleep in between.
Note: You must have at least "CREATE JOB" privilege.
Happy coding!

File Uploads using stored procedures

Hello, I'm quite new here, but I have a question that I've been butting my head against for the past day. Here goes.
We need to upload a file using a stored procedure (PL/SQL procedure.)
The two things I have found that work are
1) Having oracle do the file handling (using bfiles) in the procedure
2) using an insert statement directly to upload the file contents into a blob.
The platform is php (Oracle instant client) and I will show some code examples.
1) is unworkable because Oracle will not have direct access to any files.
2) is fine, but we would prefer to use a procedure so as to abstract what exactly goes on and possibly other operations away from the php and the framework.
What worked:
1)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE php_upload_file (file_name in varchar2, canonical_name in varchar2, owner in number, file_id IN OUT number)
AS
src_loc bfile:= bfilename('DOC_LOC',php_upload_file.file_name);
dest_loc BLOB;
begin
insert into files values(owner,canonical_name,empty_blob(),files_seq.nextval) returning files.data, files.file_id
into dest_loc, file_id;
dbms_lob.open(src_loc,DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(dest_loc, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE);
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(
dest_lob => dest_loc
,src_lob => src_loc
,amount => DBMS_LOB.getLength(src_loc));
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(dest_loc);
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(src_loc);
COMMIT;
end;
'DOC_LOC' is a directory I've set up that the user has access to.
Interfacing with PHP this just looks like
oci_parse($conn,"BEGIN php_upload_file('{$uploadfilename}','{$propername}',{$ownerid},:file_id); END;");
Dead simple, right?
I also do a bind command to pull out 'file_id' so I know the id that was just inserted.
The other solution is
$contents = file_get_contents($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["tmp_name"]);
$lob = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB);
$stmt = oci_parse($conn,
"INSERT INTO files (employee_id, filename, data, file_id) VALUES(175,'"
.$_FILES["uploadedfile"]["name"].
"', empty_blob(), files_seq.nextval) RETURNING file_id, files.data INTO :file_id, :src_contents");
where :src_contents is binded to a lob and :file_id as before is binded to an INT:
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':src_contents', $lob, -1, OCI_B_BLOB);
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':file_id', $insert_id, -1, SQLT_INT);
oci_execute($stmt,OCI_DEFAULT);
In this case the last thing I do before the commit is
$lob->save($contents);
Both work fine, but what I need is this
$contents = file_get_contents($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["tmp_name"]);
$lob = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB);
$stmt = oci_parse($conn,"BEGIN do_upload_file(:src_contents,'{$propername}',{$ownerid},:file_id); END;");
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':src_contents', $lob, -1, OCI_B_BLOB);
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':file_id', $insert_id, -1, SQLT_INT);
oci_execute($stmt,OCI_DEFAULT);
$lob->save($contents);
oci_commit($conn);
this omits error conditions (such as on $lob->save ... etc.) it is simplified.
The content of the procedure I changed as follows, but it seems untestable.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE do_upload_file (src_contents IN OUT blob, canonical_name in varchar2, owner in number, file_id IN OUT number)
AS
dest_loc BLOB;
begin
insert into files values(owner,canonical_name,empty_blob(),files_seq.nextval) returning files.data, files.file_id
into dest_loc, file_id;
dbms_lob.open(src_contents,DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(dest_loc, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE);
DBMS_LOB.COPY(dest_lob => dest_loc,
src_lob => src_contents
,amount => DBMS_LOB.getLength(src_contents));
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(dest_loc);
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(src_contents);
COMMIT;
end;
I don't get errors because I cannot figure out a way to run this procedure in my PL/SQL environment with valid data. (I can run it with a blank blob.)
But when I work out the order of what's going on, it doesn't make sense; the commit in the procedure is before the $lob->save(...) and thus it would never save the data... nonetheless it should at least create a record with an empty blob but it does not. What is wrong is beyond the error level that seems to be supported by PHP's oci_error function (unless I have not discovered how to turn all errors on?)
In any case I think the logic is wrong here, but I'm not experienced enough to figure out how.
To test it I would need to create a driver that loads an external file into a blob, and passes that blob into the procedure. Trouble is, even if I make a blob and initialize it with empty_blob() it treats it as an invalid blob for the purposes of the dbms_lob.copy procedure.
If someone has solved this problem, please let me know. I would love to be able to do the file upload with just a single procedure.

Thanks. In my estimation that is exactly the issue. But that doesn't help with a resolution.

Exec stored procedure from another stored procedure - not working

Hey, we've got a bunch of .sql files that we run, and some of them are stored procedures. Our programs call the stored procedures from within the .sql files and that works, but we've tried calling a stored procedure from another stored procedure and it won't compile. The syntax looks the same, and we can run that second stored procedure from the SQL*Plus command prompt just fine, so we know it's in there. It doesn't matter whether we type exec or execute in the first stored procedure--it still gives us a compilation error. Here's the relevant bit of the code:
        delete CMHISTORYINDEX;
        commit;
        exec SP_DAILY_TOTAL;
END SP_DAILY_CLOSING;
/Here's where we go into SQL*Plus and try to compile it:

                'readFileDescriptor',

Last thing... note that opens a potential giant size security hole into the Oracle Server Platform. So implement it properly using a proper Oracle security model.

Privilege for creating a View from a Stored Procedure

Hi,
                     I need to create a view from a procedure. I could do it from an anonymous block whereas I am unable to do that from a Stored Procedure. Should I need a specific privilege for performing this operation? If so what would be the reason behind it? Will that privilege be given in production databases?
Code to replicate:

*Cause:    An attempt was made to change the current username or password

           attempting to install a database without the necessary operating
           system privileges.
           When Trusted Oracle is configure in DBMS MAC, this error may occur
           if the user was granted the necessary privilege at a higher label
           than the current login.
*Action:   Ask the database administrator to perform the operation or grant
           the required privileges.
           For Trusted Oracle users getting this error although granted the
           the appropriate privilege at a higher label, ask the database
           administrator to regrant the privilege at the appropriate label.

Thank you for your answer. So should I issue the below statement? (Since I dont have dba privs i couldn't test this)
GRANT CREATE VIEW to P_ETL_TEST_VIEW;
I doubt that above will prevent the error from being thrown.
prior to running anonymous block again; just do as below
SET ROLE NONE;
doing so should result in same error being thrown when invoking
BEGIN
   p_etl_test_view;
END;

Retruring Multiple rows from a Stored Procedure

The Oracle JDBC documentation shows how to return a cursor pointer through the parameter list of a stored procedure allowing a Java program to use the cursor like a normal result set. I've tried it (using the thin driver) and it works fine - however, I'm having trouble getting this to work running the program under a Weblogic server (using their own JDBC implementation). So, I have two questions:
1) Has anyone had this problem before and solved it ??
2) Are there any other techniques for getting multiple rows back from the database without having to fire "raw" sql at it ?

Hi
You could return not resultset but array, for example:
PACKAGE TEST:
type string_table is table of varchar2(80)
index by binary_integer;
function get_something (
something1 out string_table,
arraylength in number
) return number;
PACKAGE'S BODY:
function get_something (
something1 out string_table,
arraylength in number /** length of the array **/
) return number as
cursor C is
select something1, ...
from test_table;
pos number := 1;
begin
for position in C loop
exit when (pos > arraylength);
something1(pos) := position.something1;
pos := pos + 1;
end loop;
return (pos - 1);
end;
Of course in this example you need to know length of your array
(arraylength parameter), but you can avoid such problem, for
example, by using DBMS_SQL package (or dynamic SQL feature in
the Oracle8i).

Set page item from a stored procedure

Dear reader
We would like to have a stored procedure to run every 10 minutes. When the procedure starts, the user has to be warned that the update process is running.
When the procedure is finished, the user should receive a message that the update process is finished.
What I had in mind was to set a Page 0 item 'P0_REFRESH' and set his value depending on the status of the update. Then add a dynamic action with a change event. So everytime the value of this page item changes, the user will receive a correct message.
Does anyone know if it is possible to set a page item from a stored procedure?
Kind regards
Xnni

I found a solution by querying the user_jobs table. In Apex, I created two page 0 items that hold the current status of the job (online, offline) and the old value of the job.
Online of offline in the current status item is determined by a decode on "this_sec".
The enext step was to include a html region in P0 that contains some javascript. This javascript will display a message when the values of the new status is different from the old status ;)
Many thanks for bringing up the ideas.

Returning a table from a stored procedure

hi, i need to return a table from a stored procedure and show it, and come to this, but a don't know hoy to run it, so i don't know if it is right, can anyone help me?
uTable out objects_uptime%rowtype
as
begin
select * into uTable from objects_uptime;
end;

well, i finally discovered how to do the trick
this is the code for the function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FN_GET_RECORDS RETURN UPTIME PIPELINED IS
CURSOR cUptime is select * from objects_uptime;
p refcur.refcur_t;
temp p%ROWTYPE;
temp2 OUPTIME := OUPTIME(null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null);
BEGIN
OPEN cUptime;
LOOP
FETCH cUptime into temp;
temp2.OBJ_NAME := temp.OBJ_NAME;
temp2.IP := temp.IP;
temp2.STATUS := temp.STATUS;
temp2.DOE := temp.DOE;
temp2.ENABLED := temp.ENABLED;
temp2.COMMENT00000 := temp.COMMENT00000;
temp2.USERID := temp.USERID;
temp2.OBJECTID := temp.OBJECTID;
temp2.MNTID := temp.MNTID;
pipe row(temp2);
EXIT WHEN cUptime%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END FN_GET_RECORDS;
and this for the auxiliar package, object and table:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE REFCUR
as
TYPE refcur_t IS REF CURSOR RETURN objects_uptime%ROWTYPE;
end REFCUR;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE OUPTIME AS OBJECT ( "OBJ_NAME"
VARCHAR2(255), "IP" VARCHAR2(20), "STATUS" VARCHAR2(10),
"DOE" DATE, "ENABLED" NUMBER(10, 1), "COMMENT00000"
VARCHAR2(1000), "USERID" VARCHAR2(50), "OBJECTID" NUMBER(10,
1), "MNTID" NUMBER(10, 1) )
CREATE TYPE TUPTIME AS
TABLE OF OUPTIME
i call it this way:
select * from table(FN_GET_RECORDS ())
if anyone knows how to do the same in a shorter manner, tell me please.
thanks to everybody for the help.

Trigger Unix Program from a stored procedure

Is it possible to start a Unix program as a background OS process from a stored procedure?
In fact I want to call a stored procedure which starts a Unix process. After the termination of this process get the results of the programm (a text file) using UTL_FILE package from the stored procedure and produce an HTML document based on the output of the started process using the htp package.
Thanks, JV

Whats the best way to start a host (Unix) program from a stored procedure or trigger without having to wait for a response from the program (i.e start it and forget it )The BEST way depends on your operating system and version of the Oracle database. If you are at Oracle 10g or higher, I would certainly suggest using dbms_scheduler. In 10gR2 you can set a program to execute on receipt of an event, and the trigger or stored procedure can be the cause of the event.
