Sql plus Environment:

HI!
1. When I want to query long data from tables using select, in sql +,
the above data will go on,by scrolling upward it's not appearing,
2. I have set linesize 4500 and pagesize 50000, but no change occure.
3. As in dos prompt we set page to appear width wise, similarly it is possible to see this in sql/plsq(sql plus).
thanks.

If you want to query long data, then use
SET LONG some_size;

Restricting the user to operate DML's from SQL PLUS Environment

how to Restrict the user to operate DML statements from SQL PLUS Environment.

Once you restrict SCOTT user to not be able to do an INSERT command, the SQL*Plus returns an error for user SCOTT when he tries to execute an INSERT statement.
Note however, that this is enforced by SQL*Plus, not the database!
Look into the use of product_user_profile from Oracle documentation for more information.
SQL> insert into product_user_profile values('SQL*Plus', 'SCOTT', 'INSERT', NULL, NULL, 'DISABLED', NULL, NULL) ;
1 row created.

Oracle10g Developer Suite - Application Development - SQL Plus Login Info

I have installed Oracle10g Developer Suite and when I am trying to login into the sql*plus environment the username scott with the passcode tiger is not working. I have Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 as the database.
Can anyone help me in setting up the username and password to login into Sql*plus Release 10.1.0.4.2

It sounds like you may be new to Oracle and its products. I would recommend doing some reading.
Oracle 9.2 Net Services Admin Guide

Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_06/doc/dl/core/B16012_03/toc.htm
You create the "login" information when you install the database. If you are not the person who performed the installation, you will need to contact them or install it again. Also, be aware that the SCOTT schema is disabled by default in newer database versions for security reasons.
The tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files can be found in the ORACLE_HOME\network\admin directory. This is the same for all Oracle products that use Sql-Net for database connections. You can also use the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to a pre-existing tnsnames.ora file (see previously mentioned documents).
The tnsnames.ora entry will be unique to your database and its listener however here is an example:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = someServer.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)

Buffer overflow in sql plus...

Hi,
i am getting an error 'ORA-20000: ORU-10027: buffer overflow, limit of 2000 bytes' while using DBMS_OUTPUT function in a loop in pl/sql block in sql plus environment. please help me in this regard that how can i over come this error.
thanks,

i got the sulotion!
it was really simple by setting the environment before running that code.
Dbms_Output.Enable (1000000);
although it is not permanent sulotion for the problem but at least one can get the much more output by increasing the limit of buffer size.
best regards,

SQL*Plus Release 9.2.0.1 remote connection to 10g EX

Greetings,
I am trying to access my XE database from a linux machine using SQLplus 9.2.0.1. I do the following:
sqlplus /nolog
sql>connect username/[email protected]:XEERROR:
ORA-06401: NETCMN: invalid driver designator
If I leave out the "XE" I get the following error:
sql>connect username/[email protected]:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect
descriptor
There seems to be nothing wrong with my database (tnsping works, etc).
One of the enviromental variables in linux is "ORACLE_SID=CLASS1"
I might have a syntax error in the connect function.
Thanks in advance to whoever can help me. I viciously search the forum before posting this and could not get it to work.
Andrey.

Andrey,
Is there a reason why you are using a colon between the <hostname>.<domain> and XE? If you use a period instead of a colon and define the default domain in the sqlnet.ora file as follows:
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = <hostname>.<domain>.XE
You should be able to use a similar TNS alias but the colon will trigger an error. If you define your TNS alias as <hostname><domain>:XE and do not define the default domain in the sqlnet.ora file, then you should be able to connect from the command-line but not from within the SQL*Plus environment. For example, using this tnsnames.ora entry:
hostname.domain:XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname.domain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = XE)))
You can connect running this at the command line:
[oracle@s1 admin]$ sqlplus plsql/[email protected]:XE

SQL> conn plsql/[email protected]:XE
ERROR:

Since the error will not occur if you define a default domain, it appears that changing the colon to a period may be your best solution.

Business problem:
I have created 2 databases in my computer. Both databases needs tablespaces created by a script. Tablespaces' datafiles (.dbf files) names are same for both database. Both database has it's own directory where it holds datafiles at the moment. At the moment the datafiles for Database1 are in folder something like "%ORACLE_HOME%"\oradata\%databasename1%\*.dbf, and second database has its datafiles in other folder, somewhere ""%ORACLE_HOME%"\oradata\%databasename1%\*.dbf". I want now the script to create tablespace called "INDX" with same datafile name "indx1.dbf" into both database. So into both mentioned folder the file "indx1.dbf" must be created by script. I think the script should do following:
1. get ORACLE_HOME.
2. connect to database "databasename1"
3. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Create TableSpace INDX....file=%ORACLE_HOME% || databasename1 || indx1.dbf"
4. connect to database "databasename2"
5. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Create TableSpace INDX....file=%ORACLE_HOME% || databasename2 || indx1.dbf"I don't have Oracle database near by anymore, so the code was pseudocode.
I don't understand how to use ?-shortcut.OK, my first impression is "why does this even NEED to be scripted? Creation of new tablespaces is usually a one-off operation.
But that aside how about this sqlplus command-line substitution variables. This example is in linux, but will work as well in Windows with the change of the way environment variables are referenced:
*nix - echo $myvariable
Windows - echo %myvariable%
First, the sqlscript to create the TS. Note the use of the substitution variable "&1"

Unix Environment variable for connect string in SQL*Plus

I am using some environment variables to connect to a sql*plus session in unix.
they are exported as part of a file which contains the following and gets executed through the .profile.
export db_username=xxx
export db_password=xxx
export db_name=xxx
i have created a file abc.sql which contains the following
connect $db_username/$db_password@$db_name
Now, I have a shell script which uses this file inside it to connect to a sql*plus session and execute some queries.
The contents of the shell script :
API_CONNECT_SQL=abc.sql
sqlplus /nolog << THEEND
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT SQL.SQLCODE ROLLBACK
WHENEVER OSERROR EXIT FAILURE ROLLBACK
set timing on
@${API_CONNECT_SQL}
---- do something
EXIT
THEEND
Now, the sql*plus session is able to get db_username and db_password, but not the db_name. It says "TNS service name not found".
If I hardcode some database name in place of db_name, it connects properly.
Please let me know the problem and solution as well.
Any help appreciated.
thanks,
Vijay

Environment variable PATH and Sql*Plus

Hi all,
i have a problem with sqlplus.
It might seem not to be able to read the path environment variable.
I need to launch some sqls without typing their path (to put the path i should modify morre than 300 shell scripts), e.g.: @script.sql.
My shell scripts are invoked by the database using java.
Inside the shell scripts we have commands like "sqlplus -silent <login> @script.sql [parameters]"
So if sqlplus is not able to read the PATH environment variable, the command hangs waiting for something to do without the chance to close it.(it is silent).
I run RDBMS v8.1.7 on compaq tru64 Unix.
Can someone help me??
Thanks in advance.

Where do I set SQL*Plus SQLPATH variable??As every other unix environment variable - either in your profile or in your current shell whatever you like
Is this the PATH where SQL*Plus searches for .sql
files??SQL*Plus searches for your files in your current directory, and then the directories you specify with the SQLPATH environment variable.
SQL*Plus searches this colon-separated list of directories in the order they are listed.

What environment variable I will set for the default SQL*plus file directory

Hi there,
I run sql*plus on windows 2000 professional. I want to set a file
directory for sql*plus so that when I write something in a file,
it will be in my default file directory. What environment
variable I will set for that? Thanks in advance.

hi , i have already install my oracle 8i personnel edition to my computer , but my sql plus don't seen to work ,
i understand that they username are ( scott ) and password are ( tiger ) but after i type them and press ok there will be a box coming out and it said ( Cannot open registry Software \ORACLE\HOME1\SID_LIST Starting with default sid )
after i click ok there will be another box asking for password , but i what is the password ? it look to me like a internal password , it can't be tiger for this , cos before that i have already type in my username and password , this is the later part , anyone can help? pls reply, thank alot Nigel,
I'm not sure about Oracle8i Personal Edition. The default username/passwords are:
scott/tiger
system/manager
sys/change_on_install as sysdba
You could try the database installation discussion forum for more help. If you find out what the password for this dialog is, please post it to this group for the benefit of others.

How to pass Unix environment variable to a SQL procedure or SQL * Plus

Srinivas Jaltaru

Within your shell script you can use what is known as a "here document" which is basically a way of wrapping a call to Oracle. The following call to Oracle loops and writes rows to files with numerically increasing file names. Two unix shell variables are used, one in a select statement and one in a spool command :
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
export ORACLE_SID=DEV05
FILENO=1007351
while [ ${FILENO} -le 1008400 ]
do
FILENAME=farm_${FILENO}.txt
DUMMY=`sqlplus -s user20/user20 <<SQLSTOP
set lines 73
set pages 0
set head off
set termout off
set echo off
set feedback off
select rpad(searchx, 8)
from blastx@PRODUCTION
where searchx = ${FILENO} ### here's a shell variable
spool /export/home/user20/sql/psiblast/BACKUP2_D/${FILENAME} ### here's a shell variable
spool off
SQLSTOP`
FILENO=`expr ${FILENO} + 1`
done
exit 0
</pre>

Explain plan results are different in SQL Developer than SQL Plus

My Environment:
SQL Developer 1.0.0.15.27
Platform where SQL Developer is running: Windows XP 2002 SP2
Oracle Database and Client 9.2.0.7
Optimizer_mode: FIRST_ROWS
I have the following SQL statement:
SELECT a1.comp_id
FROM temp_au_company a0, au_company a1
WHERE :b2 = a0.temp_emp_code
AND a0.comp_id = a1.comp_id
AND a0.sls_terr_code != a1.sls_terr_code
AND a1.last_mdfy_date > :b1
When I run an Explain in SQL Developer I get the following access path (which is the one I really want):
SELECT STATEMENT TABLE ACCESS(BY INDEX ROWID) FEDLINK.AU_COMPANY NESTED LOOPS INDEX(RANGE SCAN)
FEDLINK.UX2_TEMP_AU_COMPANY
INDEX(RANGE SCAN) FEDLINK.PX1_COMPANY
However, when I execute the statement with sql_trace turned on and use tkprof to generate the actual access path, the statement executes as follows (which is WAY more expensive):
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
Execute 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
Fetch 1 3.58 6.68 28136 29232 0 0
total 3 3.58 6.69 28136 29232 0 0
Misses in library cache during parse: 1
Optimizer goal: FIRST_ROWS
Parsing user id: 979 (FEDLINK) (recursive depth: 1)
Rows Row Source Operation
0 NESTED LOOPS
0 TABLE ACCESS FULL AU_COMPANY
0 INDEX RANGE SCAN UX2_TEMP_AU_COMPANY (object id 49783)
Notice the FULL access of au_company.
I understand that SQL Developer has nothing to do with why the statement executed the way it did, but why is the Explain in SQL Developer different than the actual execution plan?
Added note....when I run the explain in SQL Plus it is the same as the actual execution. Here is the explain from SQL Plus:
explain plan for SELECT a1.comp_id
FROM temp_au_company a0, au_company a1
WHERE '1' = a0.temp_emp_code
AND a0.comp_id = a1.comp_id
AND a0.sls_terr_code != a1.sls_terr_code
AND a1.last_mdfy_date > '01-MAY-2006';
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 2 | 76 | 2597 |
| 1 | NESTED LOOPS | | 2 | 76 | 2597 |
| 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | AU_COMPANY | 2 | 42 | 2595 |
| 3 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | UX2_TEMP_AU_COMPANY | 1 | 17 | 2
Thanks,
Brenda

The explain is different (full scan of au_company in SQL Plus / index access in SQL Developer) even when I use variables in SQL Plus. Here is the output for SQL Plus using variables instead of literals:
SQL> variable b1 varchar2
SQL> variable b2 char
SQL> explain plan for SELECT a1.comp_id
2 FROM temp_au_company a0, au_company a1
3 WHERE :b2 = a0.temp_emp_code
4 AND a0.comp_id = a1.comp_id
5 AND a0.sls_terr_code != a1.sls_terr_code
6 AND a1.last_mdfy_date > :b1
7 /
Explained.
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 3184 | 118K| 2995 |
| 1 | HASH JOIN | | 3184 | 118K| 2995 |
| 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | UX2_TEMP_AU_COMPANY | 3187 | 54179 | 3 |
| 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | AU_COMPANY | 24009 | 492K| 2983 |
Any other ideas? They should be the same.
