I have the exact same problem. Have you had any luck yet? Did you apply any kernel parameter changes/tuning yet? How much physical memory do you have on you oralce box? I have 128M. Please let me know if you solve this one.

SQL Develper 3.0.04.34 doesn't start

Hello,
I have downloaded SQL Develper 3.0.04.34 and unzipped in an empty folder.
But, when I double clik on sqldeveloper.exe, nothing happens.
The application doesn't start, I don't get an error message and in the task manager, no process is shown.
I use Windows XP-SP3 German.
Is there any thin I have to configure on Windows side before it can work?
Thanks and best regards
Rolf

If you run from \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.exe, do you get any output in the opened console when trying to run?
If still nothing happens, issue a CTRL-BREAK inside the console to get a stack trace.
Post the results here (or create a SR on Metalink/MOS to get guaranteed follow-up from Oracle) as they could help diagnosing the problem.

SQL Plus doesn't RPAD

Hi All,
I'm running into a peculiar problem where I'm trying to pool an oracle table that has about 30 million records into a text file. I'm using Toad for Oracle version 10.5. When I spool my results, I'm rpading a column to 54 characters with blank spaces. When I run this spool as a script in Toad or using Toad's Quest Script Runner it pads it no problem but when I try doing it through the "Execute SQL via SQL Plus" command in Toad it doesn't do the rpading. I don't get it. Anyway, here's the script...just removed the name of my table and column names and replaced them with more generic names:
Spool on
set heading off
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
SET LINESIZE 100
set feedback off
set echo off
set termout off
Spool "C:\test.txt"
select
rpad(column1,54) as column1
from crg_input_final
where rownum <=100
order by
column2,
column1;
Spool off;
I always assumed that SQL is SQL...no matter if you run it in Toad or SQL Plus or wherever. Am I missing something?
Thanks

SET TRIMSPOOL ONthis will always remove trailing spaces from your spool file.
You could try:
set linesize 54
set trimspool off
spool "C:\test.txt"
select column1
from crg_input_final
where rownum <=100
order by
column2,
column1;
Spool off;if you need padding on the last column.

Tracking the order of execution of sql scripts in SQL*Plus

In our production environment we sometimes have to run some .sql scripts in a particular order. Since the order of execution is important , i have created another .sql file caller caller.sql(shown at the bottom) which will call all the scripts in the right order.
i thought of putting a exec DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP (5); after the end of every execution of the script so that i can see the
'Ending script1'message .
The spooling within the caller script(execute_stack.log) has become meaningless because each script has a spool <filename.log> and spool off within it. These spool logs (for every script) is important for tracking purposes as each script belongs to a different development team and i have to send them the spooled log file after the execution.
I don't want to see the entire scripts running by in my screen. Since these scripts have their own spooling, i can later check the logs if the scripts where executed properly.
So i need two things.
1.I just need to see the following and nothing else in the screen.
Ending script1
Ending script2
Ending script3
.2. I need to log the order of execution. ie. the execute_stack.log should look like the above.Since there is a spool off within each script, this wouldn't be possible.Right?
Ending script1
Ending script2
Ending script3
.The caller.sql script which calls all the scripts in the right order
alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY hh24:MI:SS';
set serveroutput on
set echo on;
set feedback on;
spool execute_stack.log
@script1.sql
exec dbms_output.put_line ('Ending script1');
dbms_output.put_line(chr(10)||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10));
exec DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP (5);
@script2.sql
exec dbms_output.put_line ('Ending script2');
dbms_output.put_line(chr(10)||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10));
exec DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP (5);
@script3.sql
exec dbms_output.put_line ('Ending script3');
dbms_output.put_line(chr(10)||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10));
exec DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP (5);
@script4.sql
dbms_output.put_line(chr(10)||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10)||'.'||chr(10));

Is this a professional way of tracking the execution of .sql scripts?No. There is very little professional about using .sql scripts on a production system - when stored procedures are safer, more robust, easier managed and controlled and secure.. and where a log table can be used to properly log the runtimes (and other stats) of each processing step.
Let's just take a look at the number of moving parts you need to schedule and run a .sql script. A cron job needs to be configured with the proper environment setting. It needs to run a shell script. That shell script needs to load SQL*Plus. SQL*Plus needs to connect to the database (starting a dedicated server process most likely). SQL*Plus then needs to read a .sql file, parse these commands and either execute these locally (SQL*Plus commands) or remotely (PL/SQL and SQL commands).
How can this be considered professional when the very same can be achieved with a
- stored procedure
- using DBMS_JOB to schedule the procedure for execution
There are so many things that can go wrong with the first method. And so few things that could go wrong with the last one. No contest as to which method is not only better, but also professional.
PS. See that you use Windows to run these scripts. It is even worse as it introduces another hardware and software layer making the scenario even more insecure & unsafe with more moving parts that can go wrong or simply fail.

SQL*Plus improvement suggestion - Filtered History Recall

Hello,
In various command line interpreters I've used, typing the first few characters of a command one wishes to recall, causes the history buffer to only cycle thru the entries that start with the characters typed.
It would be really convenient to see this feature, that is standard in many command line interpreters, be implemented in SQL*Plus.
For example, typing "sele" would cycle through lines that start with "sele" (such as select) and no other lines.
Thank you.
John.

Hello Jgarry,
>
I hate, hate, hate that, ...
>
You are probably thinking that I was talking about those annoying hints that get in your way as you type. I despise those things too. I'm not talking about that.
This is what I'm talking about.... say that you have typed a large number of commands in SQL*Plus since you started the session... the history buffer looks like this (abbreviated):
select empno, .....
insert into ....
create table ....
select deptno ...
drop table .... currently in SQL*Plus, if you press the up/down arrow, it will cycle thru the history showing the next/previous command in the history buffer...
what I'm suggesting is...
type the letter i then press the up arrow and SQL*Plus would cycle thru the commands that start with i in the history buffer (instead of mindlessly starting at the most recent command).. in the example above.. it would immediately place the "insert into ... " at the command line ready to be reexecuted, it there were multiple statements that start with i in the history buffer, it would only cycle thru those and ignore the others.
currently SQL*Plus ignores anything typed at the command line when the up/down arrow is pressed, it simply overwrites it with whatever is the first command in the histroy buffer. This behavior makes it inconvenient to recall a command that was issued many commands ago. (not to mention that when you're used having the feature and then having SQL*Plus overwrite the partial command is highly annoying)
Hopefully this makes the feature I am asking for a little clearer. It's worth noting that most command line based utilities have this filter feature, SQL*Plus is a rare exception.
John.

SQL* Plus not compatible with Suse Linux 10

hi! i am using suse linux 10 and since i lost my sys/ system password i need to restore it using " / as sysdba " to login, but the problem is when i tried to install the sql* plus it says that "it does not support my platform", is there another way i can reset back my system password with out sql* plus? or can anyone guide me in the installation of sql* plus instant client? thanks a lot! :-)

i'm sorry for the confusion. i tried to install sql* plus but running the script to install it gave me an error that "it does not support my platform, it only supports red hat, suse 9.... etc." my os is suse linux 10 (oss) and am using oracle xe... so meaning i just wanted to install sql* plus to have a command-line utility to use " / as sysdba " to reset my sys/ system password. because i can't remember my sys/ system password that's why i can't get in to http://localhost:8080/apex site to change my oracle db. thanks for the reply!

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.
Edited by: Hans Forbrich on Mar 7, 2012 2:23 PM
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.

SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format

Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?

841731 wrote:
Hi,

And all it does with line size is know where to insert a CR/LF pair (windows) or a CR (*nix). The only thing it knows to do with page size is repeat column headers.
The rest is up to whatever application you use to open the pure asciii text spool file.

In the document 294932.1 Section 4 there are no pre-installation patches or update for OS RedHat LinuxAS4.
When I type echo $LD_ASSUME_KERNEL it doesn't display any value so do I need to set the LD_Assume_Kernal value manually.
If yes, please let me know the path and command to set the kernel value.

How to detect client OS from SQL*Plus script

Sometimes in a SQL*Plus script I need to execute OS commands e.g.
host rm tempfile.bufHowever of course Windows has no "rm" command by default, so I have to edit the script to use
host del tempfile.bufNow if I could define &DELETE (for example, "cat"/"type" is another) as a substitution variable, I could just use
host &DELETE tempfile.bufMaybe I need more coffee but all I could come up with was something like this:
def rm=rm
def cat=cat
spool sqlplus_windows_defs.cmd
prompt echo def rm=del
prompt echo def cat=type
spool off
host .\sqlplus_windows_defs > sqlplus_windows_defs.sql
@sqlplus_windows_defs.sql
host &rm sqlplus_windows_defs.cmd
host &rm sqlplus_windows_defs.sqlthe idea being that you first define the variables for nix ("rm" and "cat"), then attempt to create and execute a Windows command file containing DOS versions ("dele" and "type"), which does not run under nix. Unfortunately the OS failure message (".sqlplus_windows_defs: not found" in Unix) appears on the screen despite SET TERM OFF, so I'm back where I started.
I know there are various ways to get the server OS, and you can get the SQL*Plus version with &_SQLPLUS_RELEASE and so on, but I can't see a way to determine the client OS. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys. This seems to work in Windows XP - will try on Unix when I get a chance:
col DELETE_COMMAND new_value DELETE_COMMAND
col LIST_COMMAND new_value LIST_COMMAND
def list_command = TYPE
def delete_command = DEL
SELECT DECODE(os,'MSWIN','TYPE','cat') AS list_command
     , DECODE(os,'MSWIN','DEL','rm')   AS delete_command
FROM   ( SELECT CASE WHEN UPPER(program) LIKE '%.EXE' THEN 'MSWIN' END AS os
         FROM   v$session
         WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','sessionid') );
host &LIST_COMMAND xplan_errors.lst
host &DELETE_COMMAND xplan_errors.lstIf the user doesn't have access to v$session it will just default to the Windows commands.

SQL*PLUS console not coming back when create a tablespace in ORACLE RAC11g

Hi all,
I have run a create command in oracle RAC 11g system (2 nodes, ASM) by SQL*PLUS, every datafile for this tablespace is 1.5GB, I want to create 6 tablespace at the first:
1. It run successfully for the first tablespace , it toook 4-5 minutes to come back;
2. It run much longer time for the second tablespace , it took over 20 minutes to come back;
3. The third tablespace , I waited for 45 minutes and it didn't come back.
I have check in alert.log, and saw all three tablespace were successfully created about 4-5 minutes. And I also use another SQL*PLUS to query in user_tablespaces. the third tablespace did display in user_tablespaces view.
From that time, I tried 4,5,6, it took me 30 minutes to create 1.5GB big tablespace. It doesn't make sense for me.
Any sugguestion? Thanks.

How did they create the disk group?
How big are the devices/LUNs?
are all of the LUNS the same size?
Check the alert log for both the RDBMS and ASM.
What redundancy did they use?
in asmca, what is the total size of the disk group(s)? ( or sum total_mb from v$asm_diskgroup for each disk group)

Copying text in Sql*Plus

I seem to be unable to copy and paste text using the "highlight text and right-click" procedure in Sql*Plus 8.0.6.0.0. The right-mouse button seems to work in everything else so it doesn't seem to be the mouse that is the problem. Does anybody know if this could be due to the way Sql*Plus is set up or some other Oracle related problem?

You can either do SET PAGESIZE 0 which turns off all headings.
Of you can do SET PAGESIZE 50000 which will reprint the headings every 50,000 lines.
50,000 is the max. I don't know of a way to show the headings once, and only once. (you can turn off headings and fake them one time with a select ... from dual before your main query).

Chinese Characters in SQL Plus

Hi, I wonder how do I input the chinese characters in SQL plus? I have set the NLS_LANG value to chinese characterset in the REGEDIT but it doesn't display the chinese characters. Is there any chinese version on Oracle JDeveloper Suite?
Cheers

i have installed sqlplus and oracle db in the same PC under chinese win xp.
i found that if you spool the output to a text file, and type in dos-prompt, it still cannot display the chinese character properly. but if you open the text file by notepad, bingo, you can the chinese character.
i think that it is because dos-prompt application is non-unicode application. so it could not display unicode character properly.
as a result, if you want to display unicode character in non-unicode application (run sqlplus under dos-prompt), you have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable which match the character set of non-unicode application which your operating system assigned. in my case, it should be Big5. then oracle would do the conversion for you automatically, i.e. from unicode in DB to Big5 in client.
I either set the NLS_LANG environment variable in one of the 2 ways:
NLS_LANG=american_america.zht16big5 or
NLS_LANG=american_america.zht16hkscs

KH

Where its not possible to use a variable (&&var) in SQL*PLUS ?

SQL*Plus Command Reference - DEFINE
Whenever you run a stored query or script, SQL*Plus substitutes the value of variable for each substitution variable referencing variable (in the form &variable or &&variable)
The question is which are the limits of this. Can eg even be between a 'STR&&varING' passed as parameter to some function? Or as parameter I can pass only a single variable and there isnt such auto-casting level ?
I have created DBCA Scripts to batch create a DB. So I want inside these scripts to replace the DBNAME with a variable. So I can create different DBS with these prescriptions from an API tool.
E.g here there are 6 different scenarios where I might need to pass the variable. I dont know
1. On which of the bellow scenarios I can inject the &&var
2. On which I cant and thus have to create a 2nd VAR to inject the 1st one
3. Which dont accept variables at all - but only static text
@D:\app\admin\DBNAMEY\scripts\CreateDB.sql
spool D:\app\admin\DBNAMEY\scripts\CreateDB.log append
startup nomount pfile="D:\app\admin\DBNAMEY\scripts\init.ora";
CREATE DATABASE "DBNAMEY"
DATAFILE 'D:\app\oradata\DBNAMEY\system01.dbf' SIZE ...
GROUP 2 ('D:\app\oradata\DBNAMEY\redo02.log') SIZE 51200K,
I may not start testing the scripts 6 times fearing corrupting my Workstation on half executed scripts.

If you can't test because you are afraid the test might fail, you need to address that issue first. No one on the web is going to give you iron-clad assurance that some code you write is going to work exactly as you expect.
Your script is trying to create a database? What's the worst thing that can happen if it doesn't work? Do you know how to manually dis-mantle whatever your script does? If not, you need to learn. The knowledge you will gain from that exercise will go a long way to improving your understanding of how these things interrelate.
