SQL*Plus script with a dynamic SPOOL File Location?

Anyone,
I have a numbr of SQL Plus scripts that I need to run many times but each run against a different database. Each script SPOOLS the output like this:
spool c:\temp\BUILD_ASSET.lis
spool c:\temp\BUILD_WORKORDER.lis
etc
(each spool is a seperate script run)
The spool is at the top of each BUILD SQL Script.
Example:
set time on
SET FEEDBACK ON
SET ECHO ON
SET TIMING ON
spool c:\temp\BUILD_ASSET.lisBut I need each run to go into its own directory based on the database I am connected to. Like this:
CONNECT DB1
@C:\temp\BUILD_ASSET.SQL =====> spool c:\temp\DB1\BUILD_ASSET.lis
@c:\temp\BUILD_WORKORDER.SQL =====> spool c:\temp\DB1\BUILD_WORKORDER.lis
etc
CONNECT DB2
@C:\temp\BUILD_ASSET.SQL =====> spool c:\temp\DB2\BUILD_ASSET.lis
@c:\temp\BUILD_WORKORDER.SQL =====> spool c:\temp\DB2\BUILD_WORKORDER.lisIs there a way to dynaically code this without having to create a version of the BUILD scripts for every single DB I connect to?
I would like to have one big script that executes all the individual BUILD scripts.
Seems very easy in concept but I can not see an easy way. I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks in advance,
Miller

Can you put your coding between code statements, like shown in the FAQ. It will be easier to read.
Looking at your script, my first guess is that crontab will not find your sqlplus since your script does not have $HOME/bin in the $PATH. From what I understand, running .profile in your script will not work either because variables are exported to sub-shells, not to the shell above. You can call your script with a dot like . ./script which means that the script will run like it was typed at the command prompt. But it will be less confusing to define appropriate variables in the script. eg.
ORACLE_SID=my_instance_name
ORACLE_HOME=/my_path_to_oracle_home_directory
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
I remember some slightly different way of coding to handle the sqlplus return codes.
For instance:
sqlplus -s /nolog > /dev/null <<-EOF
connect system/manager
@ssm.sql
whenever oserror exit failure
whenever sqlerror exit failure
EOF
sql_err=$?
if [ $sql_err -ne 0 ]; then
echo "FAILURE"
else
echo "SUCCESS"
fiThe - in -EOF supresses tab's
Using connect will prevent ps from showing your login credentials
In some versions of bash the ending EOF needs to be at the beginning of the line to work.

Btw, if you "source" a script running it like . .script, than an exit in that script will log you out.

No, but PL/SQL can. Look at utl_file.

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.

Execute SQL*PLUS script from VB6?

I'm using VB6 to connect to oracle 10 with oracle client 8i, I can establish the connection without any problems.
If I run a SQL statement from VB it works prefect, but when I try to run a SQL Plus script from VB I get error ORA-00900, "invalid SQL statement". Everything works fine in oracle SQLPLUS.
Is there anything I have missed about running SQL*PLUS script from VB6? Is'nt it the same as a SQL statement?

Thanks for you answer Justin,

SQL Plus Script Execution Time

Anyone,
Is there an easy way to start a timer inside a SQL Plus script that shows exact run time at end of script completion?
Right now I use the TIME option and have a time as the prompt start and then one at end but would like if the SQL Plus script could simply put a begin/end/run time for me as last output. TIMING is to much since I have many things execute and do not wnat to see every individual runtime.
Thanks in advance,
Miller

How to configure spool file location

Hi all,
I want to configure a default spool file location, so whenever I use spool in my SQL script, the file will be saved in this location. Please help me on how to configure it.
Thanks in advance

The spool file ends up in the path you specify, or in the working directory (where you start sqlplus), like this:
C:\>
C:\>cd %my_spool_dir%
C:\oracle\admin>sqlplus ...
sql> spool test
Or you could just use your own standard spool.sql script as zetabouy suggests!

Detecting clientside NLS_LANG setting in SQL*Plus script

Our company has developed an application that uses an Oracle database as it backend. Companies can buy our application and run it against their own Oracle installation.
A new version of our application often requires an update to the Oracle database schema.
Together with new application files we send our customers an update.sql script they must run against their database using SQL*Plus.
This update script may contain international characters like é for example:
UPDATE SHOPS SET DESCRIPTION = 'Café'
WHERE SHOP_ID=1We save the SQL-script file in windows-1252 encoding so the character é is encoded as 0xE9 in the script file.
When the DBA running the upgrade script has set NLS_LANG=.WE8MSWIN1252 this works perfectly.
When the DBA has set his NLS_LANG=US7ASCII the é gets replaced by an upside-down question mark. Other NLS_LANG settings can also be troublesome.
To prevent this we give very clear installation instructions. However, nobody reads them. This leads to two questions:
A) Is there a way to prevent this problem so I do not depend on the NLS_LANG setting by the DBA running the upgrade script?
B) Otherwise: is there a way to test for the NLS_LANG setting inside the script and abort if it is not WE8MSWIN1252?
Info:
Database is 10.2.0.3/10.2.0.4 and sometimes 10.2.0.5, always database character set WE8MSWIN1252.
Client software: I do not know what each DBA uses but it will be mostly 10g client software
Client OS: Some DBA's will be running the script from Windows, others from some Unix variety. I cannot control that.

I agree with Sergiusz. You're much better off if you can remove character set dependencies from your scripts by using commands like this.
UPDATE SHOPS SET DESCRIPTION = unistr( 'Caf\00E9' )
WHERE SHOP_ID=1 ;If that's not possible however you can try this approach to determine the session's character set.

SQL*Plus Script Errors

My scripts all contain relative file paths e.g.
@@../directory1/file1.sql
Is there a way of setting the current working directory in SQL Developer to make this work?
In SQL*Plus for windows you simply opened the file but this does not seem to work.

As I said, run them in SQL*Plus.
SQL*Developer is a development tool and database browser, not a SQLPLus clone.
It has its own methods of extracting data which may or may not suit your output requirements. You don't need col statements as much if you are viewing data in a grid, for example. [1]
I don't know what you use the sqlplus scripts for, but they could be replaced over time with some combination of Apex, SQLDeveloper reports and straight sqldeveloper queries.
As for SQL*PLus being greyed out on the menu, there are some known issues about that. I think one of them is that you need to be using tns connections. However, the sqlplus menu item is gone in sqldeveloper 1.5 so don't rely on it. Learn to run if from the command line.
[1] Despite that, I would arguethat SQLDeveloper should support all (with tiny exceptions) SQLPlus commands. Not because I see it as a sqlplus replacement, but so it can be used to develop scripts which can then be run in SQL*Plus without amendment (without the hassle of switching back and forth during development)

How to control logic flow in SQL Plus script

Hi
I have the requirement below:
Before I start running an SQL script, I need to ensure that I am connecting as a particular user. If I am not that user, then the script should show a msg "Error - Invalid User - Log in as <<username>>"
Let's say i am executing a script A.sql.
SQL > @<path>a.sql
But before this script is executed -- i shall check for the user:
block begins...
select user into var1 from dual
if upper(var1) != 'ABCUSER' then
-- display the error message and stop execution of this script
else
@<path>a.sql (*it executes what i want :) )
end if;
block ends...
How do I write this code using an SQL script ? Pls sugges

Hi,
As Centinul said, SQL*Plus is poorly equipped to deal with problems like this. If possible, try to do what you want outside of SQL*Plus.
If you really have to do it in SQL*Plus, here are two ideas:
(1) run a script conditionally
(2) deliberately raise an error
(1) Using SQL*Plus substitution variables, you can decide which of several scripts to run as a sub-script, based on the results of some query.
For example, if a.sql is the script that only user ABCUSER is allowed to run, then write two other very short scripts:
(a) warning.sql, such as the following:
-- warning.sql
PROMPT You are not authorized to do this.
QUIT(b) step_1.sql, which decides whether a.sql or warning.sql should be run, and does it:
--     step_1.sql - Decide whether a.sql or warning.sql is to be run next, and do it.
--     (a) decide:
COLUMN script_name_col     NEW_VALUE     script_name
SELECT     CASE
          WHEN USER = 'ABCUSER'
          THEN 'a.sql'
          ELSE 'warning.sql'
     END     AS script_name_col
FROM     dual;
--     do:
@&script_nameYou may want to use @@, or specify a complete path name.
(2) Deliberately raise an error, either in a separate script or in a.sql itself, like this:
WHENEVER     SQLERROR     EXIT
SELECT     CASE
          WHEN USER = 'ABCUSER'
          THEN NULL
          ELSE TO_NUMBER ('This will raise ORA-01722')
     END     AS "Welcome!"
FROM     dual;
WHENEVER     SQLERROR     NONE
-- continue with the original a.sql

Semicolon and / in SQL Plus scripts?

Anyone,
Seem to have some confusion over the use of / and ; inside PL SQL Scripts run in SQL Plus.
I seem to get two commits thereby two rows on INSERT clase that has a ; and a /.
i.e.
/* Insert record into table for recording statistics on the runtime of this script */
INSERT INTO MYTABLE ( col1, col2) VALUES ( value1, value2);
COMMIT;
/The above will get two of the same rows in the table. Is this an issue with SQL Plus settings? What do people typically use? I have a combination of SQL and DDL in my scripts and I need / for the DDL typically as I understand. How do othere intermix these and what standard is used.

Dave, here are the very basics.
The SQL language does not have command separators as only a single command at a time can be issued. Thus the following is invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM emp;
The semicolon as command separator (or terminator) is not valid SQL. This is valid SQL:
SELECT * FROM emp
PL/SQL is a programming language similar to Pascal, C and Java. Multiple commands are used in a program. These need to be separated so that the parser/compiler can know where a command starts and where it ends. In PL/SQL the semicolon is used.
The following is invalid PL/SQL as it is missing command separators:
declare
i integer
begin
i := 1234
endThe following is valid PL/SQL :
declare
i integer;
begin
i := 1234;
end;SQL*Plus is an Oracle CLI (command line interface) client. It can submit both SQL and PL/SQL to the database. It needs to know when you have stopped entering commands into its input buffer and to submit what you've entered to the database.
SQL*Plus uses two characters for this. The semicolon and the forward slash. If you want to submit the above SELECT to Oracle using SQL*Plus, SQL*Plus needs to know when to submit its input buffer's content - thus:
SQL> SELECT * FROM emp;
Or:
SQL> SELECT * FROM emp
SQL> /
When using PL/SQL in SQL*Plus, SQL*Plus "understands" that the semicolons you use are for the PL/SQL language - not an instruction from you to it to submit its buffer to Oracle for execution.
The forward slash can also be at anytime used to resubmit the current SQL*Plus input buffer again. E.g.
SQL> SELECT * FROM emp;
.. now do the last SQL (or PL/SQL) in the buffer again
SQL> /[i]

SQL PLUS log input and output to file

What is the way to log every activity in sqlplus, input and output to a file (interactively).
I managed to do it using rlwrap and tee but the only problem is, it is displaying the password and logging it into file as well :D. I can remove it from the logfile but am unable to prevent from showing the password.
I hope many might have wanted to do this, and some might have been succeeded. Please share your ideas!

Migrating SQL Plus Scripts to APEX

Hi, all:
I am trying to migrate some sql scripts which generates spool files as reports from sqlplus.
I am trying to use APEX 4.2.1 interactive report pages to provide similar but much powerful functions.
Database version 10.2.0.5.
Seems Apex IR only accept SELECT .... queries for the region source.
But the original scripts used in sqlplus do other things such as create a temporary table,
then query based on this table and generate spool files.
I would like to know is there way to simulate this table creation in APEX before handover
the process to region source query to continue?
I saw APEX sql workshop can create / save / run scripts, I guess somehow I need to call
saved scripts to create temp tables before handover to IR page to do query.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

You can indeed not use a temporary table. If you create and fill one in one process, there is no guarantee that the data you inserted will still be there at the moment the IR is rendered (the select against the temp table, in another process/region) due to the connection pooling apex uses. A collection would indeed be the only way. (A normal table does work of course)

SQL*Plus Raises: ORA-3113 End of file on communication channel

I have a Win2000 machine running Oracle client 8i, connecting to an HP-UX server running 9i RAC, with an unknown collection of switches/firewalls in between. Using SQL*Plus I can successfully connect and run queries. However, if I leave the session idle for some time, approximately 15 minutes (though this varies), the next query I execute hangs for a few seconds, then returns with ORA-3113.
I have enabled client-side tracing (ADMIN level). The following extract shows the point at which an error first occurs:

A google search returned one page that suggests the culprit here is the line:
ntt2err: soc 660 error - operation=5, ntresnt[0]=517, ntresnt[1]=54, ntresnt[2]=0
This apparently indicates that the network timed out, a sign of a busy network.
Can anyone:
a) Confirm this or otherwise;
b) Suggest how I may go about proving this to a corporate network operations team;
Cheers, Si.

I think the reason can be timeout on one of the firewalls. Network administrators
quite often configure following setting:
"Disconnect idle connection after 15 minutes" - I facedd this problem several
times.

SQL Plus & End with Errors

In my Process Flow I have a SQL Plus activity that calls a custom DML Express program. How would I trigger the End with Errors activity if my custom DML program errrors out? Currently my SQL Plus activity is as follows:
--SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
-- PL/SQL
DECLARE
v_cmd VARCHAR2(500);
BEGIN
DBMS_AW.AW_ATTACH('AW', true);
DBMS_AW.EXECUTE('cda logfiles_dir');
v_cmd := 'Call CUSTOM_DML_PROG';
DBMS_AW.EXECUTE(v_cmd);
DBMS_AW.AW_DETACH('AW');
end;
quit
Is there a way to pass a parameter from my DML Express program to the SQL Plus activity that could somehow trigger End with Errors?
Kristine

Hi David,
I have been able to run this process flow that calls my DML program several times however, I am now receiving the following errors:
RPE-01003: An infrastructure condition prevented the request from completing.
RPE-01038: Failed to evaluate expression declare "$LOOP_DETECT$" NUMBER := 0;function...
My function returns a Number and my transformation in the process flow has been defined as having Integer as the Data Type and by default the Literal value is True.
The complex condition has been defined as the following:
"CALL_GS_MTH_END_GL_ACT1"."CALL_GS_MTH_END_GL_ACT1" =0
Any ideas as to why all of a sudden I receive this error? I have been able to workaround this issue by deleting the transformation from the process flow, adding it back and re-deploying the process flow however this is not ideal.
