SET SERVEROUTPUT ON TOAD

hi
how can I use "SET SERVEROUTPUT ON" clause on toad

Same as you would in SQL*Plus: Simply type SET SERVEROUT ON in the SQL editor and run with F5.
Alternatively there's a button on the DBMS_OUTPUT desktop panel which should light up green. Output will then be generated when the statement is run with F9.

Using SET SERVEROUTPUT ON in procedure

Hi,
Can I use SET SERVEROUTPUT ON inside a procedure. The reason is I am building a procedure in Toad and will execute in SqlPlus. In future I will only use SqlPlus to execute and view my result.

No.
Although you can use DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE, it only re-enables output that was previously disabled (with DBMS_OUTPUT.DISABLE). It does not alter the current SQL*Plus SERVOUTPUT setting.
For example,
SQL> set serveroutput on size 1000000
SQL>
SQL> begin
2      dbms_output.enable(1000000);
3      dbms_output.put_line('Eat more bananas');
4 end;
5 /
Eat more bananas
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> set serveroutput off
SQL>
SQL> r
1 begin
2      dbms_output.enable(1000000);
3      dbms_output.put_line('Eat more bananas');
4* end;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> show serverout
serveroutput OFF

Set serveroutput on;

I have 10.2.0.1.0 on Windows XP and have set serveroutput on on sqlplus. However, I don't see the out put from dbms_output.put_line('xxxxxx'); the dbms_output.put_line() is not in IF or ELSE condition.
Can anyone please shed a light? Thanks in advance.

Dear 782150,

ogan
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.So it shows two ogan outputs after the dbms_output.enable(). Basically the set serveroutput on should help you but if you can show the SQL you have used it would be better for us to understand the problem.
Hope That Helps,

SQL Developer 1.5.3: SIZE honored in SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE nbr ?

I'm running some PL/SQL in SQL Developer 1.5.3 and am getting some buffer overflow error messages while using dbms_output.put_line.
At the top of my script, I've put:
set serveroutput on size 100000
But get these errors:
ORA-20000: ORU-10027: buffer overflow, limit of 20000 bytes
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT", line 35
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT", line 198
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT", line 139
ORA-06512: at line 28
Does SQL Developer 1.5.3 not, in fact, honor the SIZE portion of SET SERVEROUTPUT ON? If not, can this be set in the preferences? (couldn't find it).
Thanks.

Note... I'm running Oracle 9i, soon to be 10g. Don't know if that matters. Seems in 11g, there's another way to set the buffer size specifically for dbms_output, e.g. dbms_output.enable(100000)-- or null for unlimited. I couldn't get this to work on 9i.
Danadbms_output.enable(buffer_size) has been available since 9i if not before.

Try to put serveroutput statement before spool statement.

The preference for the path is not working, this is a bug and is logged.
For set server output: The output is written to the DBMS Output tab and you need to use the toggle on that screen to set server output on.

Set Serveroutput On throught PL/Sql

Hi All,
In order to display output through DBMS_output.put_line one need to do set serveroutput on, I want to do that through PL/SQL as application I work on user forget to do so. I want to come over that. Although its useful sometimes as application supports both ways even if for some condition I don't want to display output and same code can be used for displaying output.Any suggestions
thanks

How is the application executing the pl/sql with the dbms_out statement in it?
Either the sqlplus script that contains the code should have a set serveroutput on size nnnn right before the pl/sql code is executed OR
the application should read the dbms_output buffer using the dbms_output.get_line procedure and use its own functionality to display the output. In this case you enable the buffer using dbms_output.enable and when done dbms_output.disable. We have done this in pro*c programs.

The DBMS_OUTPUT tab is one of the tabs you'll see when opening a SQL Worksheet. If you take a look at the "Useful Features of SQL Developer" demo under the "Podcasts and Viewlets" link, you'll see the set of tabs below the SQL Worksheet. They include the Results and Script output tabs and the DBMS_OUTPUT tab.

Is there any alternative to set serveroutput on

without having to use the set serveroutput on can i make the results display using dbms_output.put_line.i have tried using dbms_output.enable on somebody's advise.
begin
dbms_output.enable;
dbms_output.put_line('xyz');
end;
but the above one is not displaying the result if i don't use set severoutput on. is it must to use set serverout on.is there any alternative keyword or somthing which i can embed in pl/sql block itself to display the result.
thank you.

pl/sql is not a user interface tool. It cannot display anything. There are various ways to get to see output from it but whatever method must involve some other facility which has the ability to display stuff.

DBMS_OUTPUT & set serveroutput on

Hello:
In my APEX app I am executing a procedure. Within this procedure I have DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE displaying results after each function.
In order to see the output which is produced by DBMS_OUTPUT, I have to type, set serveroutput on. When I run my procedure in SQL Developer, I see all the results.
When I run my APEX app with this procedure, I am not able to see the results of the DBMS_OUTPUT. It is important that the user see the results after they submit the parameter for the procedure.
Is there a way that I can display the results of DBMS_OUTPUT after my user clicks the SUBMIT button?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
the following example copies the DBMS_OUTPUT messages into a table MESSAGE; instead of this
you can also use an APEX collection or wwv_flow.debug or some other thing ...
declare
v_lines dbms_Output.chararr;
v_numlines pls_integer := 100;
begin
dbms_output.enable; -- activate - equivalent to "set serveroutput on"
dd.change_patient.add_patient_new(:P2_ORG_NUM);
-- get the messages
dbms_output.get_lines(v_lines, v_numlines);
-- insert the messages into a table
for i in 1..v_numlines loop
insert into MESSAGE values (v_lines(i));
end loop;
end;

Set serveroutput on, passing in table names

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to put 'set serveroutput on'
in a procedure. If it is, can you tell me where it goes?
Also, is it possible to pass in a table's name as a string?
This is like my code, is this right?
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DelFromTable(v_Tablename,
                    v_ColName VARCHAR2,
               v_CurrVal VARCHAR2)
IS
v_SQL     VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
v_SQL := 'DELETE FROM ' || v_Tablename;
v_SQL := v_SQL || 'Where ' || v_ColName || ' = ' || v_CurrVal;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_SQL;
END;
If I want to call it like this:
Exec DelFromTable('Emp','LName','Smith');
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Nikhil Kulkarni

1)place dbms_output.enable(100000); inside procedure
2) yes, you are in right direction
give space before where
v_SQL := v_SQL || ' Where ' || v_ColName || ' = ' || v_CurrVal;

Set "serveroutput on" for the current session.

I'm still new to PL/SQL and I use "*SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 100000"* always before I run a PL program block to get dbms_output. I really need to know why should we specify a size in this line & what that size will be applied for. Also I need to know whether there is any possibility to set serveroutput enabled for the current session, rather than running this code line before each and every PL block.
I Tried *"ALTER SESSION SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000"* ; But it was not successfully executed.
Thanks!

SQL>dbms_output.enable is used to enable the output buffer (or set the size of it) on the server side of things. It can't influence the client application into retrieving and displaying the output from the buffer, even if that is SQL*Plus. ;)

PL/SQL set serveroutput

Hi
I'm trying to print an XML document into a PL/SQL region.
Here's the region source:
declare
queryCtx DBMS_XMLquery.ctxType;
result CLOB;
begin
queryCtx := DBMS_XMLQuery.newContext('select * from mytable');
result := DBMS_XMLQuery.getXML(queryCtx);
printClobOut(result);
DBMS_XMLQuery.closeContext(queryCtx);
end;
And here's the 'printClobOut' procedure:
PROCEDURE printClobOut(result IN OUT NOCOPY CLOB) is
xmlstr varchar2(32767);
line varchar2(2000);
set serveroutput on
begin
xmlstr := dbms_lob.SUBSTR(result,32767);
loop
exit when xmlstr is null;
line := substr(xmlstr,1,instr(xmlstr,chr(10))-1);
dbms_output.put_line('| '||line);
xmlstr := substr(xmlstr,instr(xmlstr,chr(10))+1);
end loop;
end printClobOut
For some reason it doesn't like the 'set serveroutput' command, and gives me this error:
ERROR at line 4: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "ON" when expecting one of the following: := . ( @ % ; not null range default character The symbol "; was inserted before "ON" to continue.
If I don't have that command in there, it doesn't print anything out.
Any ideas?
Cheers
-Dave

David,
That statement is not part of the PL/SQL language. It's used only in SQL*Plus to enable output when using dbms_output. You need to use htp.p with the web components instead of dbms_output, and htf.escape_sc within that if necessary to escape special characters, if any, e.g., htp.p(substr(xmlstr,1,instr(xmlstr,chr(10))-1)) or htp.p(htf.escape_sc(substr(xmlstr,1,instr(xmlstr,chr(10))-1))).
