Sql*plus missing parenthesis

hi, experts,
I use sqlplus to run this command.
CALL dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname => 'XXXX',tabname => 'XXX_TBL',estimate_percent => dbms_stats.auto_sample_size,cascade => TRUE,degree => dbms_stats.default_degree,method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE SKEWONLY')
the sql*plus version is 9.2.0.1.0
the database version is 9.2.0.7.0
is my syntax correct?
but it returns this error.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
is the syntax not allowed in sql*plus?

Hi,

Dear Frank Kulash,
I run this at the SQL> prompt AND on one line
do you mean this is not allowed to use call directly in SQL*PLUS?No, it's fine in SQL*Plus. I was just saying it won't work in PL/SQL.
Another way to call it from SQL*Plus is to say EXEC instead of CALL:
SQL> EXEC dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname => 'XXXX',tabname => 'XXX_TBL');What happens when you call it with just 2 arguments?

Logging into ORACLE 9I using SQL*PLUS.TNS Error

I have installed Oracle 9i for windows and am trying to login using SQL*PLUS
user: system
pwd: manager
Host String: BHURU
It says TNS could resolve service name.
I have all the services running in the admin monitor.
Am I missing something? Please advise.

Can you post your tnsnames.ora file contents and listener.ora contents here?
There may be tons of things wrong with the error actually,
ORA-12154:     TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Cause:     A connection to a database or other service was requested using a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a net service name then the net service name could not be found in a naming method repository, or the repository could not be located or reached.
Action:
- If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA)
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper directory and is accessible.
- Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
- If you are using directory naming:
- Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
- Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is accessible.
- Verify that the net service name or database name used as the connect identifier is configured in the directory.
- Verify that the default context being used is correct by specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN as the connect identifier
- If you are using easy connect naming:
- Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
- Make sure the host, port and service name specified are correct.
- Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks. See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle operating system specific guide for more information on naming.

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

SQL*Plus - how to suppress the SQL in a spool file

This is my SQL*Plus script. I thought I had solved the problem, but it is back now and I don't know what I am missing. But I don't want the query at the top of the file.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET MARKUP HTML ON -SILENT
SET ECHO OFF
SET PAGESIZE 33
SET TERMOUT OFF
Spool C:\DuaneWilson.xls
SELECT *
FROM RPT_DS1_CNT_CAT_vw
WHERE ROWNUM <=100
ORDER BY CVBI_KEY;
SET MARKUP HTML OFF
SET ECHO ON
SET PAGESIZE 20
SET TERMOUT ON
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFF

It turns out when I run the script with the @ or Start with the file name, there is no SQL put out to the file. But when I just copy the text out of the file and run it at the prompt, the SQL appears in the output file. In reference to the -SILENT, I put that in after the MARKUP statement and got an error. Maybe I don't know where that goes. And I am not sure why there is a difference if it is run as a script or just pasted to the buffer. At least it should be the same in the output file, I would think.

Cannot see table in sql developer or sql plus

I have created a record in application designer. I have then built the table. I can close the record and then find it again in application designer. But if I go to sql plus or sql developer, I cannot see it. Am I missing a step?

You probably can see all the tables of sysadm because someone else give you proper grant for that on existing sysadm's objects.
For the new or modified object (drop+create) you should :
1. connect as sysadm and run
grant select on new_table_name to your_own_user;2. connect with your own user and run
create synonym new_table_name for sysadm.new_table_name;Then you'll be able to query that table without using schema name alias.
Some admin have also a ddl trigger to make it automatically.
You could also work through a role and public synonym if more than one user needs to access sysadm's objects.

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.

Special character when changing password in sql plus

SQL*PLUS 32 Bit Client needed for Windows 64 Bit

Hi,
I have got a 64 Bit Windows OS and an Oracle 11.
With 32 Bit Applications ( Crystal Reports) I can not run SQL NET Thick, SQL NET Thin and JDBC.
Oracle 32 Bit Installation is Missing.
Oracles "Instant Client Downloads for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)" will not do it.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winsoft-085727.html
What else to use ?
Thank You

Did you unzip the ic sqlplus .zip (the one listed) in the same dir as ic basic?
After dezipping waht than ?
No installer, nothing ...That's the beauty of Instant Client, just unzip or move a few files, set PATH if needed, and you have client libraries all "installed" and ready.

You can give advice ?Generally, required lib files are (n Windows) oci.dll, oraociicusN.dll or oraocieiN.dll (N= e.g. 11). Then for Sql*plus add orasqlplusicN.dll and the .exe from ic-sqlplus package.

Using variables in SQL Plus Worksheet

I'm new to Oracle. I've developed in MS SQL for some time. I'm trying to debug a query we're using in an application. I paste it into SQL Plus Worksheet and get the message:
SP2-0552: Bind variable "COUNTYPK" not declared.
I could paste in a value, but I would like to define a variable before the query so that it will work the same way as it would in production.

Need help in sql plus

i install in my computer the oracle9i
my problem is that : i can login to sql plus
althoge i was tring all the passwords that i know
scott/tiger
sys/change_on_install
system/manager and the result is allways the same
ora-12560 error
how can i solve that problem?
did i missed somthing during the installation?

Thank you to EVERYONE!!
I have been searching every possible forum to find out how to install/run SQL *Plus on a home computer without a server/network to work within. As most just learning, I could not figure out how to get past the SQL Plus Username/Password/Host String logon.
After much trial and error, I got through and I hope this helps a lot of people just starting out.
I used 'SYSTEM' as my username and my password created on install.
When installing I created a database and fixed the password so my default password was the password I created on install.
As long as I had those two fields filled in, I could leave the Host String blank and I could still get into the SQL Plus workspace.
Since I also created a database on install, I found that I could also use the name I gave the installed database (I didn't leave the default database name so I do not remember what the default name was, but I think the default password was 'manager' for those who were not tempted to change it).
Worst case scenario if you forgot your database name given during install, you can do a search for all of your .ora files (usually in the drive you installed Oracle on). Open the tnsnames.ora file in Notepad and you can see which database names are available on your system. The path to my file was:
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
You want the SERVICE_NAME = 'databasename'
I hope this reduced someone's stress...and thanks for all the helpful hints on these threads...they led me to the final outcome!!
In the end, I tried a lot of other combinations for the username/host strings with plenty of errors. You would think this information would be on page one of every Oracle install!! Or maybe it is and I am just a bit slow. : )
Thanks again to all that posted with this initial question (years ago)...

How to Strip Extraneous Output from SQL*Plus Session

We are running Oracle Database 11g on Solaris 10, and I am trying to use SQL*Plus to create a temporary .sql file that I can execute in a later step of a Korn shell script. Here is the code:
     $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
--whenever oserror exit failure;
--whenever sqlerror exit sql.sqlcode;
set serveroutput on
set termout off
set trimspool on
set verify off
set heading off
set feedback off
set echo off
spool /usr/oracle/temp/apply_site_security_for_oracle_database_11g.ksh.tmp
declare
     Value_DSC varchar2(2000);
     CommandLine_DSC varchar2(4000);
begin
     select v\$parameter.value into Value_DSC from v\$parameter where lower(name)='diagnostic_dest';
     CommandLine_DSC := 'host chmod 751 ' || Value_DSC;
     dbms_output.put_line('--Ready to execute: ' || CommandLine_DSC);
     dbms_output.put_line(CommandLine_DSC);
     CommandLine_DSC := 'host ls -ld ' || Value_DSC;
     dbms_output.put_line('--Ready to execute: ' || CommandLine_DSC);
     dbms_output.put_line(CommandLine_DSC);
end;
spool off;
exit;
EOF
I've tried to turn off everything I don't need, but I am missing something. When I run the script, I get the following in the temporary file:
SQL>
SQL> declare
2 Value_DSC varchar2(2000);
3 CommandLine_DSC varchar2(4000);
4
5 begin
6 select v$parameter.value into Value_DSC from v$parameter where lower(name)='diagnostic_dest';
7
8 CommandLine_DSC := 'host chmod 751 ' || Value_DSC;
9 dbms_output.put_line('--Ready to execute: ' || CommandLine_DSC);
10 dbms_output.put_line(CommandLine_DSC);
11
12 CommandLine_DSC := 'host ls -ld ' || Value_DSC;
13 dbms_output.put_line('--Ready to execute: ' || CommandLine_DSC);
14 dbms_output.put_line(CommandLine_DSC);
15 end;
16 /
--Ready to execute: host chmod 751 /s01/app/oracle
host chmod 751 /s01/app/oracle
--Ready to execute: host ls -ld /s01/app/oracle
host ls -ld /s01/app/oracle
SQL>
SQL> spool off;
I am hoping to whittle this down to just the following lines so I can execute them as a script.
--Ready to execute: host chmod 751 /s01/app/oracle
host chmod 751 /s01/app/oracle
--Ready to execute: host ls -ld /s01/app/oracle
host ls -ld /s01/app/oracle
Any ideas?

I just found it. Just add "-S" to the sqlplus command. Argh... I hunted for that a while back. Why didn't I remember it??????????
This works:
     $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -S / as sysdba <<EOF
whenever oserror exit failure;
whenever sqlerror exit sql.sqlcode;
set serveroutput on
set linesize 2000
set pagesize 0
set termout off
set trimspool on
set feedback off
spool /usr/oracle/temp/apply_site_security_for_oracle_database_11g.ksh.tmp
declare
     Value_DSC varchar2(2000);
     CommandLine_DSC varchar2(4000);
begin
     select v\$parameter.value into Value_DSC from v\$parameter where lower(name)='diagnostic_dest';
     CommandLine_DSC := 'host chmod 751 ' || Value_DSC;
     dbms_output.put_line('--Ready to execute: ' || CommandLine_DSC);
     dbms_output.put_line(CommandLine_DSC);
     CommandLine_DSC := 'host ls -ld ' || Value_DSC;
     dbms_output.put_line('--Ready to execute: ' || CommandLine_DSC);
     dbms_output.put_line(CommandLine_DSC);
end;
spool off;
exit;
EOF

Question about setting column width in SQL*Plus using info retrieved w SQL

Good morning,
Is there a way to tell SQL*Plus to set the width of a column to the greatest width of the elements found in the column ? (as opposed to the default which is the width declared in the DDL)
In other words, I'd like to do something functionally equivalent to this:
COL <columname> format a[select max(length(<columnname>)) from <thetablethatcontainscolumname>]
I'm doing the above manually in two steps
1. select max(length(columnname)) from .....
2. col columnname format a[resultofstep1]
Is there a way of doing it in one step ?
Thank you for your help,
John.

Hi Munky,
>
you should consider whther you are using the correct tool for the job, SQLplus isn't exactly ideal for doing presentation layer stuff
>
I'm not really doing presentation stuff, I asked because it would be very convenient for everyday stuff. I commonly query the tables that I am going to deal withm just to have a look at the column names and a few values, something like:
select * from EMP where rownum <= 10; -- just to have a look at the table and some values
when the table contains a wide column then the display gets all messed up. It would be nice to have an option or a mechanism to tell SQL*Plus to automatically use the width of the widest value, instead of having to determine the value and then manually set the column.
thank you for your help, it's good to know that I didn't miss some trivial setting in the documentation that would do it ;)
John.
