SQL Alias's in Shell Script

Hello all,
We are running Oracle 10G on Unix and I am fairly new to Unix. I know how to assign a SQL select statements values to an alias in a SQL environment such as TOAD, such as for example;
Select LogID ID, LogType Type, LogDate Date from audit_logs
where LogDate = sysdate;
That will give the determined values the labels of ID, Type, and Date respectively. But how do I assign the multiple SQL select values to shell script variables in UNIX? I have found how to do it for a single value but not a multiple value.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Alano

Thanks for reply.
What we want to do is ensure a relevant file was deleted by a database package\procedure that is part of a third party application. My aim will be to interrogate the relevant table, extract the three relevant fields and join them together into one line\string that will be appended to a lof file
Thanks again in advance
Regards
Alano

Error Handling with sql *plus from a shell script

When I execute sql plus in a shell script with the wrong username/pass pair, the shell script hangs without terminating. What is the proper way to execute sql plus in a shell script that will catch a login failure and make sure the script doesn't hang?
Example:
We execute the following in our shell script:
sqlplus ${ORACLE_INST} @./sql/ftp_ledger_put.sql
Now if somebody comes along and alters the login then the script would hang. Is there a way to have the script exit gracefully?

Not the most elegant solution but.......
sqlplus <<EOD 2>&1 >some_log_file
user/pwd
@somescript
exit
EOD
Because sqlplus allows for 3 tries at log in if user/pwd is not valid it will try to use subsequent lines. Each will fail.
You have to look in some_log_file to determine success/failure

Procedure call from SQL*Plus in Korn Shell Script

I am trying to excute a procedure from sqlplus, truncate_audit_table. I doesn't execute. If I do it manually
it executes. I have tried multiple ways, as below. This is inside a Korn Shell scripts that creates the procedure
and counts the aud$ table. All that works, but does not truncate the aud$ table. It does not do it, no error, just
passes it by. Does anybody know why?
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s / << EOF | tee -a ${LOG}
set feedback on
@/backup/oracle/orcl/audit/truncate_audit_table.sql
select count(*) from sys.aud$;
exec truncate_audit_table;
exit
EOF
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s / << EOF | tee -a ${LOG}
set feedback on
@/backup/oracle/orcl/audit/truncate_audit_table.sql
select count(*) from sys.aud$;
begin
truncate_audit_table;
end;
exit
EOF
This is the procedure that is being called:
create or replace procedure truncate_audit_table
as
begin
execute immediate 'truncate table sys.aud$';
end;
/

aud$ is owned by sys. You can see it does the count with or without the "\".
It creates the procedure under SYS , but does not execute it.
Truncate aud$ table...
Procedure created.

SQL in Connection with shell scripts

Hello everyone,
I have a conceptual question:
If people like to implement their SQL-Scripts attached on a shell script(Ruby, Perl, or even OS-Shell), what are actually the benefits doing this? Can someone please give me a szenario, which is very effectively if we do it with combination with shell-script.
My second question: does oracle sql developer support this shell combination?
Thank you..

Wrapping sql script in a shell script provides flexibility. Shell can provide better parameter validation than SQL, better output handling, and better error trapping. Personally I would have the sql script separately for purist modularisation reasons, but you can merge the two.
e.g.
getdate.sql
select sysdate from dual;getdate.sh can look like this
sqlplus user/pwd @getdateor
sqlplus user/pwd <<EOSQL
@getdate
EOSQLor
sqlplus user/pwd <<EOSQL
select sysdate from dual;
exit
EOSQLMy preference would be for either of the first two.
You can use various shell facilities to capture the output of the sql statement for use elsewhere. Variations of the above example can be use to get the current database date and time into the shell environment for use in other queries, or in the shell itself.
You can run SQL Developer from the command line, but the tool of choice for command line is SQL Plus.

newbie wrote:

how to check whether it is set properly o not?No, you have stated what you believe ORACLE_HOME should be. But you have NOT proven that it was correctly set in the session that threw the error, and the error itself is almost certain proof that it was NOT set correctly. And your assertion that the referenced file does indeed exist (again, your assertion, not proof) lends more weight to the evidence that ORACLE_HOME is not properly set.
Issue the following commands, then copy and paste the entire session (full command, full output) to your next posting

if by chance inbetween any stored procedure do not execute then the shell script has to tell me that this stored procedure failed to execute.
please help me in this.

Looping through SQL statements in shell script

Hello members,
I'm working on the Solaris environment and the DB i'm using is Oracle 10g. Skeleton of what I'm attempting;
Write a ksh script to perform the following. I have no idea how to include my sql query within a shell script and loop through the statements. Have therefore given a jist of what I'm attempting, below.
1. Copy file to be processed (one file at a time, from a list of 10 files in the folder ).
for i in *
           do
           cp $i /home/temp[/CODE]2 . Create a snapshot(n) table : Initialize n = 1 -- -- To create my snapshot table and inserts records in SQL
create table test insert account_no, balance from records_all;3. Checking if the table has been created successfully:
select count(*) from snapshot1 -- query out the number of records in the table -- always fixed, say at 400000
if( select count(*) from snapshot(n) = 400000 )
echo " table creation successful.. proceed to the next step "
else
echo " problem creating table, exiting the script .. " 4. If table creation is successful,
echo " select max(value) from results_all " -- printing the max value to console
5. Process my files using the following jobs:
./runscript.ksh - READ -i $m ( m - initial value 001 )
./runscript.ksh - WRITE -i $m ( m - initial value 001 -- same as READ process_id )
-- increment m by 1
6. Wait for success log
tail -f log($m)* | -egrep "^SUCCESS"7. looping to step1 to :
Copy file 2 to temp folder;
create snapshot(n+1) table
Exit when all the files have been copied for processing.
done -- End of Step 1
Pointers on getting me moving will be very valuable.
thanks,
Kris

Hi,
Are you inserting the data from file or from some table.
If it is from file, I suggest sql loader would be better, I suppose.
If it is from table, then something like this
for i in *
           do
sqlplus username/password@db_name<<EOF
            create table test select * account_no, balance from records_all;
EOF
exit

Hi Sean,
Thanks for the reply. I am not at work yet. I already do have the if condition to call 2 separate sql scripts. I was hoping them to be reduced to one sql script. That's why I was hoping to pass some of those values to the select statement as parameters.
Here is what I was hoping to pass from the shell script based on an IF condition. The good thing about it is that I can hard code these 3 parameters in the shell script in the IF and ELSE conditions. Is it possible to tag these 3 hard coded values in the command line after $p_job_id and then capture these 3 parameters in the SQL program ?
1. rd_test-$p_job_id-3-1.lis or rd_test-$p_job_id-3-1.lis
2. RD_PRINTER(rd_test,3) or RD_PRINTER(rd_test,4)
3. t_data=''rd_test-'||'''$p_job_id'''||'-1-1.txt''
Shell script :
# Accept system input parameters
p_user_id=$1
p_job_id=$2
if [condition]
sqlplus.exe -s $p_user_id @$RD_PATH/rd_test.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id
else
sqlplus.exe -s $p_user_id @$RD_PATH/rd_test.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id

Passing params from SQL file to Shell Script and then from Shell to SQL Fil

Afternoon guys,
Have a fun question for all you gurus in shell scripting out there. I have a shell script that is calling 2
different SQL programs. My objective is to pass a variable called request_number from one sql program
to the shell script and then from the shell script back to another SQL program. I will explain why I
need this to happen.
Here is what the shell script looks like which calls sql programs student_load_a.sql and
student_load_b.sql. Student_load_a.sql basically creates the control file (.ctl) which is needed for the
SQL*Loader and then student_load_b.sql reads the table that was just loaded and does the main
processing. My main objective here is to be passing the request_number which is being generated
using an Oracle Sequence in student_load_a.sql and using this generated number in my main
processing in student_load_b.sql to select records from the table based on request_number.
Any ideas ?Any help or recommendations is welcome and appreciated.

How come you are mixing WinDoze script (*.exe) with Unix?
You are aware that you will be passing the password along with the user id to the second sql script?
I will assume Unix ksh:
# Accept system input parameters
p_user_id=$1
p_job_id=$2
# Create control files for sqlload
p_seqno=`sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_a.sql $p_job_id`
exit_status=$?
# Do sqlloads
sqlldr userid=$p_user_id control=student_load-$p_job_id.ctl \
       log=student_load-$p_job_id.log \
       bad=student_load-$p_job_id.bad
exit_status=$?
# Main processing
# sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_b.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_request_number
sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_b.sql \
           $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_seqno
exit_status=$?
exit 0And the first sql script would look like this:
-- student_load_a.sql
-- Accept system input parameters
set echo off pages 0 feed off lin 80 trims on ver off
def p_job_id = &1
col seqno NEW_VALUE seqno
select request_number_seq.nextval seqno from dual;
set term off
spool student_load-$p_job_id.ctl
select
'append into table TMP_STUDENT_LOAD
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '','' optionally enclosed by ''"''
trailing nullcols
(request_number CONSTANT ''&&seqno'',
student_id)'
from   dual
spool off;

Calling shell script from sql procedure

Hi gurus
Is it possible
1)to call a shell script from sql procedure
2)that shell script has to return one value
3)and again sql procedure(calling shell script) has to capture the return value.
please help me to write this script

You may NOT have EXECUTE privilege/ permissions on the DBMS_PIPE package. Check with your DBA.
Using DBMS_PIPE may not be that simple to implement. Just making a call to DBMS_PIPE procedure will not do anything. It will NOT trigger anything on the UNIX side.
. You will also need to :
1. Write a job (ie CRON) at UNIX side which will keep read the incoming pipe for new messages, Unpack the message and get the command to be executed at the UNIX side -- There will be a lot of work involved here + DBA presence/activity is also required.
As Justin has pointed out, try and use HOST command which is very simple or try and use Java.

SQL-Scripts into a Shell script

Hi!
After creating the database on a Linux machine, we need to create our Schema in that database.This Schema has many objects(tables, views,
procs, triggers etc.). So executing each individual script would not be sensible. Is it possible to pack all sql scripts into one shell script and run that one?
Thanks for your feedback/examples/links!

If it's one-off task, why not put all of them in a SQL file and run it from SQL* Plus rather than using shell to cause sql plus which will in turn have to call the script?
If it's a recurring task and you insist that you want to do it from Unix shell, you can do something like this:
Place all scripts in a single file and put it under $HOME for ex. (save it as run_all_scripts.sql)
Then write a shell script something like this:
#!/bin/ksh
connect_schema=scott/tiger
sqlplus -s $connect_schema <<EOF
@$HOME/run_all_scripts.sql
EOF
