Schedule PL/SQL Code?
Hi
Is it possible to schedule PL/SQL code to run at a specific time during the day?
I require daily code to run to send email reminders to users that havent completed certain tasks in the database. If this is possible, how would I go about scheduling it?
Thanks
Adam
Hi,
If you need to run a procedure one way could be to use the dbms_job.SUBMIT package .
declare
jn binary_integer;
begin
dbms_job.SUBMIT(jn,'procedure name;'
,sysdate , '(sysdate) + 1/1440');
-- one minute delay, execute once only,delete upon success.
dbms_output.put_line(jn);
COMMIT;
end;
If you are in Oracle 10g then you can use DBMS_SCHEDULER .

Scheduling of discoverer report via concurrent program or pl/sql code
Hi All,
I am beginner on Discoverer Report. As per my client requirements we need to do the scheduling of discoverer report rather than manually run it every week. Also we need to do this job by help of concurrent program or pl/sql code. But I don’t know how to scheduled the discoverer report.
Please any one help me or provide pl/sql code.
Thanks in Advance
Subhas SamantaThis is one of those questions that has been asked on the forum for years now and the answer really hasn't changed in that - command line using .BAT files, command line using VBasic (Rod's expertise) and Java potential via Plus.
You can search the forum for the fully documented answers to this but basically:
1. you can use Disco Desktop - NOT Plus or Viewer - with good ol' MS BAT files using the command line interface
2. you can use Disco Desktop - NOT Plus or Viewer - with good ol' MS BAT files using VBasic calls
3. I think - although never have seen - using Java command line interface to control it via a Java program
oh yah ...
4. if you're running Oracle Apps I believe you can get the Concurrent Manager to run the Disco report for you as well (another of Rod's expertises)

PL/SQL code written in db or in application...????
Hi ,
Which is the best...at performance , maintability... e.t.c.???
To write PL/SQL as validation process of data values going to be inserted in db:
1) as db trigger (before insert or update row-level trigger)
2) in application level - in Forms10g...
This PL/SQL code compares some pairs of data values only.... there DML statement....
Both db server and App server are considered to be or in the same machine or in two machines very close to each other...
Note: i use Db10g .
Thanks...
SimIt is all about moving parts. How many there are. Where they are located.
The less moving parts, the less the complexity, the bugs - and the better the performance (less wheels to turn to crunch data), the easier the maintenance and the better the flexibility.
Part of this is having the moving parts close to the data. Kind of obvious - what is faster? Shipping data from the db engine to a front-end application via a app server and web server? Or shipping the data from the db (SQL) engine to a PL/SQL process running as part and parcel of db instance? IPC is significantly faster than TCP/IP.
Having the moving parts close to the data also means that it can scale with the data. Oracle is good at scalability. It is designed at its very core to be scalable. Partitions to reduce I/O. Shared Server to reduce o/s resource footprint per client session. Shared pool to re-use SQL. DB buffer to cache data. RAC to run multiple db instances for a single physical database. Etc. Etc.
With the application moving parts being close to the data, it inherits this scalability. You can "multi-thread" application code using table pipelines. You have access to forking application code using background processes (DBMS_JOB and DBMS_SCHEDULER). You have bulk processing in order to transfer more data per SQL engine call, between the buffer cache and your application, and thus also reduce expensive context switching.
This list goes on and on.
All this is summarised into the following rules.
Rule 1. Do it in SQL.
Rule 2. Only when SQL cannot do it, use PL/SQL. (e.g. SQL is not suited for managing and controlling process flow - PL/SQL is)
Rule 3. Only when PL/SQL cannot do it, use <insert-language-here> (e.g. PL/SQL cannot render a Windows grid on the client - but Delphi/C#//Java can).
Also keep in mind that in the modern client-server paradigm we deal with a web architecture. Which means the client is a web browser. And this means that PL/SQL can pass the data (HTML) required by the client (web browser) to render the User Interface.
Have a look at APEX (Oracle's Application Express) for how this works. http://apex.oracle.com
All you need to develop web applications is APEX (a PL/SQL product suite in the database) and a web browser. Kickass stuff... :-) -

How to 100% Protect PL/SQL Code By Wrapped in Oracle Database 10g R2
Hello,
Is Possible to 100% Protect PL/SQL Code By Wrapped in Oracle 10g R2 ?
If it is not possible by wrap in oracle 10g R2,
Please, let me suggest, how i will be able to 100% protect PL/SQL code in Oracle Database 10g R2.
Because, I have lot of functions, procedures & package's in my project.
Which is running in field filed.
So, i have needed to protect 100%.
Also, will i convert to al functions, procedures & package's to .pll file ?
And .pll file to .plx file?
Is it possible to convert .plx file to .pll file ?
Please, let know any better solutions in this case....
Regards
MehediHello,
No, wrapping is not a 100% secure method. It could prevent your code from amateurs, but not from professional hackers. Look at the article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28370/wrap.htm#BEHGBJAA
It says: "•Wrapping is not a secure method for hiding passwords or table names.
Wrapping a PL/SQL unit prevents most users from examining the source code, but might not stop all of them."

How to reference LEVEL in a TREE's SQL code
Is it possible to somehow reference LEVEL in a tree's sql code so that you can use a decode statement to selectively create links on specific levels only i.e. NOT on the root level?
e.g.
select "CHILD_ID" id,
"PARENT_ID" pid,
"NAME" name,
decode( LEVEL, 1, null,'f?p=' || :APP_ID || ':43:' || :APP_SESSION || '::::P43_CHILD_ID:' || CHILD_ID) link,
null a1,
null a2
from TREETABLE
order by name
one solution I've implemented is to create a DB function e.g.
create or replace function get_tree_level(v_child_id number) return number
is
v_level number(2);
begin
select level
into v_level
from TREETABLE
where child_id=v_child_id
start with child_id=1
connect by prior child_id= parent_id;
return v_level;
end;
and then use
decode( get_tree_level(child_id) 1, null,'f?p=' || :APP_ID || ':43:' || :APP_SESSION || '::::P43_CHILD_ID:' || CHILD_ID) link,
but this is too slow as I have quite a few records in the tree and takes too long to render
regards

How to add URL to tree
The view my tree is build on is constructed out of 3 unions and 4 "selects" ( the first select creates the ROOT NODE where "1" is also used as a hard coded foreign key (Parent_id), in the company table.)
I just added a new column called tree_level to the query which is hard coded wrt its level on the hierarchy.
e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW COMCONSTUTREE ("CHILD_ID", "PARENT_ID", "NAME","TREE_LEVEL") AS
select 1 as child_id,to_number(null) as parent_id ,'Company' as name,*1 as tree_level* from dual
UNION
select COM_ID, 1, COM_NAME,2
from company
UNION
select CON_ID,CON_COMPANY_ID, substr(con_name,instr(con_name,' ')+1) ||', '||substr(con_name,1,instr(con_name,' ')-1),3
from contact
UNION
select STU_ID,STU_CONTACT_ID, STU_LAST_NAME||', '||STU_FIRST_NAME ,4
from student;
the tree code now becomes
select "CHILD_ID" id,
"PARENT_ID" pid,
"NAME" name,
decode( tree_level,1, null,'f?p=' || :APP_ID || ':43:' || :APP_SESSION || ':TREE:::P43_CHILD_ID:' ||CHILD_ID) link,
null a1,
null a2
from COMCONSTUTREE"

PL/SQL Code not working without debug statements
Hi Guys,
I have a pl/sql code in a procedure, logic iterates through almost 40K records, conditional delete and update.
When I execute this code, I dont see the deletes and updates happening, though procedure executes for 8 minutes and exits wihtout any error, execption.
In same procedure when I write some debug statements like dbms_output, then everything seems to be working fine.
I know this scenario happens in Oracle Forms, wehre we use SYNCHRONIZE.
But this is plain pl/sql procedure.
any thoughts on this?
Av.COMMIT ?
Aside from that, no idea what your procedure looks like, what it does, what version of Oracle you are using, how you are determining "I dont see the deletes and updates happening". etc...
You'd need to provide a slew of information for anyone to give you any meaningful help.
I can only assure you that DBMS_OUTPUT doesn't do magic :) -
Can I have a PL/SQL code for LOV
Hi,
I apologize for this dumb question. I have been so out of touch with dev (almost 8 years). Plus new to pl/sql.
I am creating a status report application. On the dashboard, I currently have some metrics (horizontal charts). I wanted to expose these metrics based on filter.
I had created 2 filters. The first one will identify the type (Week, Month, Qtr or Year) and the 2nd filter would be based on the type. For e.g. if I select Month as type, the 2nd filter should show May-12, April-12 etc. Once I select the 2nd filter, I should use them to show the appropriate metrics. The metric that I currently have would show all the projects that users have worked on during the week/month/qtr or year (depending on the 1st and 2nd filter).
On the dashboard region, I added a condition to check if the value for both 1st and 2nd filter is not null. This allows me to show the dashboard only if the 2 filters have been selected.
For the 2nd filter, I need to write a PL/SQL code to show the LOV.
I am assuming that the pl/sql would return a SQL query. The SQL query will be based on week, month etc. Is that right?
Thanks

Multiple SQL queries in additional PL/SQL code in Report
Hello gurus,
I have a form in my portal populated some searching parameters and these parameters inserted into some temporary tables such as name_temp, addr_temp. And then I have a report that run based on these parameters, I have added additional PL/SQL code in the report at the time after the header was displayed. The code is as follows:
declare
checkname varchar2(40);
checkaddr varchar2(100);
begin
select emp.name into checkname from emp
where name = (select name from name_temp);
select personnel.addr into checkaddr from personnel
where addr = (select address from addr_temp);
end;
The problem I have is always the first SQL statement was executed, but not the second one, nor the third one. Does PL/SQL only supports one SQL statement per call? Please help. Is there a better way to handle this case?
Thanks.

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
1. Excel File is on My PC.
2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
Note: This directory is on the server.
2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
p_filepath in varchar2
) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
input_file utl_file.file_type;
--declare a buffer to read text data
input_buffer varchar2(4000);
begin
--using the UTL_FILE in built package
input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
--debug
--dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
utl_file.fclose(input_file);
--return data
return input_buffer;
end;
Hope this helps. -
Query SQL code gets deleted after export to Excel. "Query must have at least one destination field"
Hi all,
I'm getting really frustrated by this Access error. It happens when I export the result of a query through an Access macro to Excel, the first time it runs well but the next time, there is a chance that the query won't run and the error "Query
must have at least one destination field" will be displayed. After that, I try to check the query SQL code and discover the code has vanished. I'm using simple Select query without joins, only "where", "group by" and "order by"
statements.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Jesus
Edit:
One of these queries are like the following (all of them are of this type):
SELECT Field1, field2, field3, field4, field5, Sum(Field6) AS SumOfField6, Sum(Field7) AS SumOfField7
FROM Table1
WHERE Field6 is not null
GROUP BY Field1, field2, field3, field4, field5
Order By Sum(Field6) descHi Peter,
Thank you for your response, I updated the original question with one of the codes.
Thanks,

APEX,PDF's, BI Publisher and SQL Query returning SQL code..
I don't know if I should be posting this in this Forum or the BI Publisher forum, so I am posting in BOTH forums..
I love APEX, let me say that first.. And appreciate the support offered here by the group, but am running int a confusing issue when BI Publisher tries to build a report from the above type APEX report..
Here is my dilemma:
I have a number of reports that are part of a Oracle package. They return an SQL Query back to a reports region on a page. I am having to deal with the column names returned are col01, col02..
The issue I have is, when building the Application Level query to download the XML sample from in building RTF layouts in Word, you can not use this code, you MUST use a standard SQL Select.
I have taken the sql from the function returning sql, and copied into the application query, supplying the required data values for bind variables being used in the query.
An XML file is produced, and I use this to build the RTF format file that I load back into APEX and try to use it for the PDF rendering of the report. I can view the output as a PDF in the Word add on, but when I try using it with the report, it is returning an empty PDF file.
Can anyone tell me what error log files on the bi publisher side I can look at to see what error is happening?
Thank you,

You can find the log as follows:
- go to http://[yourserver]:[yourport]/em
- logon to OC4J EM: oc4jadmin/[yourpassword]
- click on "logs" at the bottom of the page
- in the hgrid/tree, expand OC4J->home->Application
xmlpserver
- click on view log icon
You can also observe what's going on in BI Publisher
by going to the command prompt from where you started
it.
Or, as a third option, you can locate the file on
your file system, depending on your setup, the path
would be something similar to this:
\oracle\product\10.2.0\bip\j2ee\home\application-deplo
yments\xmlpserver\application.log
With that said though, I don't expect you'll find
much in there that would help with your particular
problem. I suspect you either get no rows in your XML
at runtime, due to some session state issues, or your
XML structure does in fact not match your RTF
template.
I'm not quite following your problem description,
i.e. when did you do what and are you associating
your report layout with a report query or report
region. So just some general notes, your query needs
to be parseable at design-time, when exporting the
XML, so that you get the XML file with the proper
column names derived from your query. If you want to
use your RTF template with a standard report region,
you must export the XML file first using the advanced
XML structure option. And of course the column names
in your report query need to match the column names
in your report region.
Perhaps this helps you further diagnose what's going
on, if you have additional information that could
help, let me know. And if you could stage this on
apex.oracle.com, I'd be happy to take a look.
Regards,
MarcMarc,
Thanks for looking at this issue. Below find my remarks to your questions..
Re: your query needs
to be parseable at design-time, when exporting the
XML, so that you get the XML file with the proper
column names derived from your query.At the start of this process, the query code was a function in a package. The function was returning an SQL select statement, for a report region on a page. I took the select statement, built an application query to build a sample of the xml for BI Publisher desktop (Add-on for Word). The code was producing the usual Col01, Col02.. since at design time that is were the column names.
When I then took the xml from this and built the rtf for loading into my APEX application.
When testing the Application Query with this RTF report layout, I am getting PDF's. When using it with the report region sending an xml feed to BI Publisher I am getting nothing back.
I have since taken the sql code and moved it back into the report region, and set the region to have a type of straight SQL Query. I have even tried to hard-code the parameters I was getting from the page to limit data returned.
Is it possible to see the xml being produced by the APEX page?
Re: Stage this on apex.oracle.com.. I would love to, but we would have HIPPA issues if I posted the data on a public website.
Can I send you the RTF file and the xml file that the application query is creating to see if there something weird about them?
Thank you,
