SQL*Plus logon attempt counter

Hi,
I would like to use SQL*Plus to run some script agains DB. And I want to run it through script.
So, I can set following parameters for sqlplus: logon and SQL-script name.
But I have a problem how to check that this SQL has been run. For example DB is staying in RESTRICTED mode. Command:
sqlplus user/password@db @test.sql
will return ORA-01035: "ORACLE only available to users with RESTRICTED SESSION privelege" and will wait for second attempt to connect.
But it is not possible to do it from script.
Any ideas how to disable 3 attempts to connect and check EXIT ERROR CODE?
Thanks a lot,
Boris

1. you're not using pl*sql to connect. you're using SQLPLUS to connect.
2. ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor
so, verizon changed something, perhaps the "windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" file, so that now your TNSNAMES.ORA has the wrong info. check tnsnames.ora, and see if it's using machine name, IP, or "localhost", then give the new, correct info.

Can network setting cause sql*plus logon failure?

During install of verizon service the techs had to alter some network setting to allow the cable connection to work. Afterwards I was unable to connect to oracle database using pl*sql, getting instead an ORA 12514 error.
Is it possible the altered network settings caused this problem? I am running oracle 10g on XP windows.

ORA-12541: TNS: no listener when attempting to log int SQL*Plus

Hi everyone,
Since we are now studying forms. I installed The Developer Suite on the same machine as the Oracle Database. I was able to use SQL*Plus and the Procedure Builder in Oracle Forms. I was able to connect to the Oracle 8i database with the Oracle 9i Developer. Then I started playing with forms and when I tried to run the form it told me that it could not find a listener. So, I made some changes on the Oracle Database and added a listener and gave it the 8888 port that it was looking for. That did not work so I change the properties on the forms to the port that the database listener had 1521 or at least that is what I believe it was. Now I cannot connect to Oracle SQL*PLus and I cannot connect from the forms to the database either. I have deleted the listeners and added them again. I have checked under services to make sure that it is started. Has anyone seen this before.
Thanks for any help.

The problem comes into play when you try to select the actual LOB locator remotely, however straight INSERTs aren't a problem.

OCILogon2 fails to logon even though SQL*Plus succeeds

I have a problem with the following code in Oracle 10g r1:
CheckError(p_err,OCILogon2(p_env, p_err, &p_svc,
(CONST OraText *)"username01", (ub4)10,
(CONST OraText *)"password", (ub4)8,
(CONST OraText *)sServer, (ub4)15, OCI_DEFAULT));
OCILogon2 is returning -1 and OCIErrorGet called on p_err gives:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Oddly, when I try to call SQL*Plus and login with the same user name, same password, and same server, SQL*Plus logs on properly.
And this happens on my computer only, not on other computers.
Is there a cause I should be looking for?
-- Darren --

Apparently the following did the trick:
1. Uninstall the Oracle Client following the instructions at:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/ManualOracleUninstall.php
(I'm running Windows XP).
2. Reinstall the Instant Client (I used version 10.1.0.5).
3. Set the TNS_ADMIN and SQLPATH and PATH environment variables.

SQL*Plus variable assignment works for 8i but not 9i

We have scripts that connect to each database on the box and perform database tasks nightly. The scripts first set the environment then connects to each database with SQL*Plus. This works for 8i but fails in the recently created 9i environment. (Unix Solaris environment)
Because the SQL*Plus connection appears in many areas in the scripts, we assign the following connection string to a variable:
SQLPLUS="/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba'"
Export SQLPLUS
echo "$SQLPLUS"
(This echo out correctly: /usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba')
It fails when the script calls the assigned variable:
$SQLPLUS <<-EOF
with the following error:
Usage: SQLPLUS [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
where <option> ::= -H | -V | [ [-L] [-M <o>] [-R <n>] [-S] ]
<logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_string>] | / | /NOLOG
<start> ::= @<URI>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
"-H" displays the SQL*Plus version banner and usage syntax
"-V" displays the SQL*Plus version banner
"-L" attempts log on just once
"-M <o>" uses HTML markup options <o>
"-R <n>" uses restricted mode <n>
"-S" uses silent mode
However, if I remove the SQLPLUS variable assignment and changed all occurrence of
$SQLPLUS <<-EOF to
/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba' <<-EOF
Then the script runs successfully. But this solution is cumbersome.
Any ideas as to how to have the script work with assigning the SQLPLUS variable????
Any help is appreciated.

I has an immediate suspicion it might be related to the issue
mentioned in
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/sub_var2.html#2_7
but this proved wrong: the SP2-306 still occurs in the latest
SQL*Plus.
I wonder what version of 8i you had working? With an old SQL*Plus
8.1.7.0 my connection failed the same as in 9.2 and 10i.
My solution was to do:
SQLPLUS='sqlplus -s'
UNPW='/ as sysdba'
$SQLPLUS "$UNPW" <<EOF
EOFThis worked in 9.2.0.5, 10.1.0.2 and 8.1.7.0.
One common security risk on UNIX remains: putting the username and
password on the command line. On some systems a "ps" command will
show the password to any user. If OS authentication cannot be used
for connection, perhaps putting the username/password in the SQL
script may be more secure?
A final note is that in SQL*Plus 10g, no quotes are needed around
AS SYSDBA, i.e.
sqlplus / as sysdba works from the OS prompt, whereas in 9.2 you need to do
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"This makes a solution easy:
SQLPLUS="/usr/oracle/product/10.1.0/bin/sqlplus -s xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba"-- CJ

C:\Users\lord>sqlplus / as sysdba SELECT * V$VERSION;
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production
Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Use SQL*Plus to execute SQL, PL/SQL and SQL*Plus statements.
Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
-H Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
usage help.
-V Displays the SQL*Plus version.
Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [{logon | /nolog}] [<start>] ]
<option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
-C <version> Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
version specified by <version>. The version has
the form "x.y[.z]". For example, -C 10.2.0
-L Attempts to log on just once, instead of
reprompting on error.
-M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output. The options
have the form:
HTML ON [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text]
[ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] ON]
-R <level> Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands
that interact with the file system. The level can
be 1, 2 or 3. The most restrictive is -R 3 which
disables all user commands interacting with the
file system.
-S Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of
the SQL*Plus banner, prompts, and echoing of
commands.
<logon> is: {<username>[<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | / }
[AS {SYSDBA | SYSOPER | SYSASM}] [EDITION=value]
Specifies the database account username, password and connect
identifier for the database connection. Without a connect
identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database.
The AS SYSDBA, AS SYSOPER and AS SYSASM options are database
administration privileges.
<connect_identifier> can be in the form of Net Service Name
or Easy Connect.
@[<net_service_name> | [/]Host[:Port]/<service_name>]
<net_service_name> is a simple name for a service that resolves
to a connect descriptor.
Example: Connect to database using Net Service Name and the
database net service name is ORCL.
sqlplus myusername/mypassword@ORCL
Host specifies the host name or IP address of the database
server computer.
Port specifies the listening port on the database server.
<service_name> specifies the service name of the database you
want to access.
Example: Connect to database using Easy Connect and the
Service name is ORCL.
sqlplus myusername/mypassword@Host/ORCL
The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a
database.
The EDITION specifies the value for Session Edition.
<start> is: @<URL>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the
local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that
will be assigned to substitution variables in the script.
When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
(e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
(e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run. The files may
contain SQL*Plus commands.

IF statement in SQL*Plus - how to do it

Hi,
In SQL*Plus script, I would like to keep conditional checking (IF statement) and proceed. For example, whatever is done in PL/SQL block below, want to do the same in SQL*Plus script, I know partly it can be done using VARIABLE keyword, conditional checking can be done using DECODE in SELECT statement, but I want to carry out a more complex requirement, hence I want to use IF statement somehow in SQL*Plus.
Another question, how to do spooling in PL/SQL script, it can be done using UTL_FILE, any other option is there to achieve this.
declare
v_ind_count int;
begin
select count(1) into v_ind_count from user_indexes where index_name = 'index_object_name';
IF v_ind_count > 0
THEN
dbms_output.put_line('index found');
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('index does not exist');
END IF;
end;
/

Hello,
SQL*PLUS has no scripting language. It can only execute SQL and PL/SQL scripts. There are some commands like SPOOL or SET but no commands for conditional statements. You should describe your requirements, maybe we can find a way.
Or you can search the forum, maybe your question has already been answered
[Google for SQL*PLUS + condition|https://www.google.de/search?q=site%3Aforums.oracle.com+"SQL*PLUS"+condition]
# {message:id=4189517}
# {message:id=4105290}
how to do spooling in PL/SQL scriptFrom within PL/SQL you can use dbms_output, the spool has to be started by the calling SQL script when it is executed in SQL*PLUS. Or you can use utl_file, but then you can only write to a server directory, not into a client file. To give an advice we need more information about what you want to do.

Apex 4.0 - Can see view data in SQL*Plus but no data in Object Browser

Hi There,
I have just started using Apex 4.o and migrated some apps. I have an issue with a report, but see the same issue with Object browser, which is easier to describe.
I have a view:
create or replace view V_PLJ_USERDEF_CODES (
         CODE_SET_ID,
         CODE_SET_CODE,
         CODE_SET_DESC,
         CODE_ID,
         CODE_SYS_CODE,
         CODE_VALUE,
         CODE_DESC,
         DISPLAY_SEQ,
         DISPLAY_FLAG,
         LANGUAGE_CODE) as
select CS.CODE_SET_ID,
         CS.CODE_SET_CODE,
         CS.CODE_SET_DESC,
         C.CODE_ID,
         C.CODE_SYS_CODE,
         C.CODE_VALUE,
         C.CODE_DESC,
         C.DISPLAY_SEQ,
         C.DISPLAY_FLAG,
         C.LANGUAGE_CODE
    from PLJ_CODES C,
         PLJ_CODE_SETS CS
   where C.CODE_SET_ID         = CS.CODE_SET_ID
     and CS.CODE_SET_TYPE_CODE = SYS_CONTEXT('PLJUMPSTART','C_USERDEF_CODE_SET');This returns data in SQL*Plus, but no data in Object Browser OR report region based on this view.
Workspace parses in the same schema as tested in SQL*Plus.
If, in report, I swap out view, and use underlying table - no problem.
Any ideas -
thanks
P

Hi all,
Thanks for getting back so promptly.
It just seems weird to me, as tables are just fine, but not views.
In the underlying schema:
SQL> sho user
USER is "ICSREPORTING"
SQL> select count(*) from plj_codes;
COUNT(*)
       107
SQL> select count(*) from v_plj_userdef_codes;
COUNT(*)
        29And in the APEX schema
SQL> sho user
USER is "APEX_040000"
SQL> select count(*) from icsreporting.plj_codes;
select count(*) from icsreporting.plj_codes
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> select count(*) from icsreporting.v_plj_userdef_codes;
select count(*) from icsreporting.v_plj_userdef_codes
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL>However, in SQL browser, I can see the data in PLJ_CODES but in V_PLJ_USERDEF_CODES, just the message "This view has no data". Indeed, it is like this for all views.
I even explicitly granted access to APEX_040000 but no good.
In fact, I would like to know more about how Apex gets access to do DML against the underlying parsing schema(s).
This is a little frustrating though. It worked just fine in lots of apps in version 2.1 to 3.2
Am I missing something

p.s I knew there would be a question about the context, but I had already checked that. :)

Checking Module to Prevent SQL Plus usage on Database

I have a question regarding logon triggers checking against SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'MODULE'). I created a logon trigger that looks for SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'MODULE') = 'SQLPLUS.EXE'
and if it matches then it only allows specified users to log in to the database. This code works but I am confused as to why when I check SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'MODULE') after I login in
shows SQL*Plus which clearly does not match my IF statement in my logon trigger.
Second issue. If I rename sqlplus.exe to jeff.exe and run it I am abled to log in to the database as a non DBA user. But the module still shows as SQL*Plus. Why is this?

That doesn't make sense. Why am I able to log in when I renamed the exe? And why does the module still show as SQL*Plus?You are right - it does not make sense. The idea that Oracle might perhaps set module to SQLPLUS.EXE on executable start, and then re set from SQLPLUS.EXE to SQL*Plus after connect, or in glogin.sql, to ensure it is consistent across all operating system never crossed my mind.
You might want to refer to Support Note "SQL*Plus Session/Module is Not Showing in V$SESSION" [ID 1312340.1] to see whether anything in there helps. I'm pretty sure http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16604/ch_twelve040.htm#i2698573 doesn't help much, though.
I'd certainly be raising it with Support as a potential security challenge, to get that potential hole closed.

I wonder whether Oracle put that capability in there - if an untained SQLPLUS.EXE, it tells you that it is SQLPLUS.EXE, but if renamed it tells you 'SQL*Plus'? Specuklation, but it is one thing I might do to subtly raise the flag. Best bet - ask Support.

Oracle:JDBC Call returns no results, SQL*Plus returns 1 record, Please help

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Running 9.2.0.5.0, and using latest 9.2 JDBC 1.4_g drivers in thin mode.
Execute the following query from SQL*Plus and it returns one row, from JDBC using a PreparedStatement, I get no results. Here's the query, table def, record, etc.:
Query:
SELECT
ID_WEB_FRM,ID_WEB_SIT,CDE_LVL_1_FUNC,
CDE_LVL_2_FUNC,NUM_WEB_FUNC_PG,NUM_WEB_PG_ID
FROM
WEB_FRM
WHERE
ID_WEB_FRM = ' '
OR
(ID_WEB_SIT = 'test' AND CDE_LVL_1_FUNC = ' '
AND CDE_LVL_2_FUNC = 'u2T' AND NUM_WEB_FUNC_PG = 1
AND NUM_WEB_PG_ID = 0)
Record returned from SQL*Plus:
ID_WEB_FRM ID_WEB_SIT CDE CDE NUM_WEB_FUNC_PG NUM_WEB_PG_ID
NfRRmc5XZu test u2T 1 0
Both in the data returned and the query, there are no blanks, but they are a single space instead (hard to see in message here).
Java code:
int count = 1;
findDBNameStatement.setString(count++," ");
findDBNameStatement.setString(count++,form.getSiteID());
findDBNameStatement.setString(count++," ");
findDBNameStatement.setString(count++, form.getFunctionID());
findDBNameStatement.setInt(count++,form.getPageNumber());
findDBNameStatement.setInt(count++,form.getSectionNumber());
ResultSet resultSet = findDBNameStatement.executeQuery();

resultSet.next() returns false

That's not quite right. From the javadocs:
next
public boolean next()
throws SQLException
Moves the cursor down one row from its current position. A ResultSet cursor is initially positioned before the first row; the first call to the method next makes the first row the current row; the second call makes the second row the current row, and so on.
If an input stream is open for the current row, a call to the method next will implicitly close it. A ResultSet object's warning chain is cleared when a new row is read.
Returns:
true if the new current row is valid; false if there are no more rows
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs

I have verified the parameters and such, and if I run as a Statement instead of a PreparedStatement, the query works fine. After some more troubleshooting, I narrowed the problem down, but not sure of the fix.
If I eliminate teh extra parameters and simplify things to:
SELECT ID_WEB_FRM FROM WEB_FRM WHERE ID_WEB_SIT = 'test' AND CDE_LVL_2_FUNC = 'u2T' AND NUM_WEB_FUNC_PG = 1 AND NUM_WEB_PG_ID = 0
The code works. But if I add the additional WHERE clause of CDE_LVL_1_FUNC = ' ' (has single space), it returns no data (record in the DB has single space in this new column. Query that does not work:
SELECT ID_WEB_FRM FROM WEB_FRM WHERE ID_WEB_SIT = 'test' AND CDE_LVL_1_FUNC = ' ' AND CDE_LVL_2_FUNC = 'u2T' AND NUM_WEB_FUNC_PG = 1 AND NUM_WEB_PG_ID = 0
It appears the JDBC Driver is trimming the parameter when it is a space when set through a PreparedStatement.setString(2," ")
