System stored procedure

I am newbee in Oracle.
Are there any system stored procedures in Oracle to create a file on file system, as in SQL Server such as xsp_UpdateSignalFile, sp_makewebtask.
Pls advise.
Thanks

Thanks for the information.
I want to create a file on windows file system. Is that feasible? I tried with below code but got errors.....
PROCEDURE p_testproc
IS
v_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
v_filename varchar2(40):='dep.log';
v_locat varchar2(200):='c:\tmp\';
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line('proc begin.....');
if UTL_FILE.is_open(v_file) then
dbms_output.put_line('file opened');
else
dbms_output.put_line('file closed');
end if;
v_file:=SYS.UTL_FILE.FOPEN(v_locat,v_filename,'w');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_file);
dbms_output.put_line('File has been created');
END p_testproc;
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

  • Creation of System Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2012 & SQL Server 2012 R2.

    Hi all,
    I am stuck at a point I am looking for a system stored procedure named 'sp_dboption' in SQL Server 2012  & R2 but could not find.
    Searched for it on the net and found that, this stored procedure 'sp_dboption' is now obsolete. So I tried to copy the content of 'sp_dboption' stored procedure from SQL Server 2008 R2 and create new system stored procedure with this name 'sp_dboption' in
    SQL Server 2012 but was unable to create the system stored procedure.
    Can you guys please tell me how to create system stored procedure in SQL Server 2012 & SQL Server 2012 R2. The reason of why I want to achieve this is because I have used 'sp_dboption' system stored procedure  in my application to create a database.
    As 'sp_dbotion' stored procedure is present in SQL Server 2008 R2 I am able to create the database in SQL server 2008 R2 but not in SQL server 2012.
    Can you please guide me how to create system stored procedure. I am out of luck.
    Please assist me, thanks & looking for help at the earliest. Hope someone will come to the fore and help me.

    Hi Vishwajeet,
    If you tried to create any object in the sys schema, you will get the error below.
    The specified schema name "sys" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
    So I am afraid creating any object in sys schema is not supported by SQL Server. Here is a similar link for your reference.
    How to create table in SYS schema in SQL Server?
    Though sp_dboption is not in SQL Server 2012, does creating a user-defined one with the same content in 2008 make any difference in your business? You just need to specify the fully qualified name dbname.dbo.sp_dboption.
    If you are still interested in creating a system sp_dboption, you can register it with the
    sp_ms_marksystemobject.

  • MS SQL Server system stored procedures can't be migrated into Oracle 11g

    During database migration from MS SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g R2, if the application stored procedure invokes the MS SQL Server system stored procedures (for example: sp_getapplock, sp_releaseapplock ....), these SQL server system stored procedures can't be transferred.

  • Replicating System Stored Procedures in MSA Setup

    I started replicating system stored procedures in my MSA environment due to the fact that commands such as sp_rename was not making it to my MSA server. This caused some issues downstream resulting in the DSI goign down and having to manually apply these statements on the target server.
    My question is, are there any cons/drawback to enabling such option
    In reading the manual one of the requirements was that
    Make sure that both the primary and replicate data servers are the same version of Adaptive Server.
    I am Replication from Sybase Cluster Edition 15.7 SP131 to Sybase SMP 15.7 SP131. So far I have not encountered any issues but I don't like surprises.
    Other requirements are met
    When replicating DDL – the primary and replicate databases must have the same login names and passwords; the DSI uses the original server login name and password to log in to the replicate database.
    For me the logins are identical on both servers so this is not an issue
    To replicate DDL and system procedures:
    Mark the primary database using sp_reptostandby.
    Set the RepAgent parameter send warm standby xacts to true—even if there is no standby database
    I also have a warm standby setup and I am using the logical connection as the primary dataserver so these conditions are also met
    Thanks

  • Calling System Stored Procedures (Eg: sp_help)

    Hi,
    Can you help me on how to call the System SPs like sp_help using JDBC?
    I'm using com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver. I know that this will produce multiple ResultSet. Hope I can use the cstmt.getResultSet() to handle multiple ResultSets.
    Code Snippet:
       try {
             cstmt = con.prepareCall("{call " + env + "..sp_help (" + table + ")}");
             cstmt.setString(1, table);
             if (cstmt.execute()) {
                rs =cstmt.getResultSet();The stmt.execute() is returning false. Can you help me on this!!

    Bhavin:
    You can call any stored procedures or functions which belong to any schema as long as you have thr proper privileges.
    As long as you are granted as the following by SYS or DBA:
    grant execute on ABS to SHAH;
    You should be able to execute ABS regardless what's your client software (VB, JAVA, JSP, or SQLPLUS).

  • How to improve stored procedure performance?

    hi,
    Suppose I have a stored procedure which contains 30 insert/update statements. How do I know Stored Procedure is slowly running or don't have any performance issue? how to improve performance?
    Thanks in advance.
    Anujit Karmakar Sr. Software Engineer

    Stored Procedures Optimization Tips
    Use stored procedures instead of heavy-duty queries.
    This can reduce network traffic, because your client will send to server only stored procedure name (perhaps with some parameters) instead of large heavy-duty queries text. Stored procedures can be used to enhance security and conceal underlying data objects
    also. For example, you can give the users permission to execute the stored procedure to work with the restricted set of the columns and data.
    Include the SET NOCOUNT ON statement into your stored procedures to stop the message indicating the number of rows affected by a Transact-SQL statement.
    This can reduce network traffic, because your client will not receive the message indicating the number of rows affected by a Transact-SQL statement.
    Call stored procedure using its fully qualified name.
    The complete name of an object consists of four identifiers: the server name, database name, owner name, and object name. An object name that specifies all four parts is known as a fully qualified name. Using fully qualified names eliminates any confusion about
    which stored procedure you want to run and can boost performance because SQL Server has a better chance to reuse the stored procedures execution plans if they were executed using fully qualified names.
    Consider returning the integer value as an RETURN statement instead of an integer value as part of a recordset.
    The RETURN statement exits unconditionally from a stored procedure, so the statements following RETURN are not executed. Though the RETURN statement is generally used for error checking, you can use this statement to return an integer value for any other reason.
    Using RETURN statement can boost performance because SQL Server will not create a recordset.
    Don't use the prefix "sp_" in the stored procedure name if you need to create a stored procedure to run in a database other than the master database.
    The prefix "sp_" is used in the system stored procedures names. Microsoft does not recommend to use the prefix "sp_" in the user-created stored procedure name, because SQL Server always looks for a stored procedure beginning with "sp_"
    in the following order: the master database, the stored procedure based on the fully qualified name provided, the stored procedure using dbo as the owner, if one is not specified. So, when you have the stored procedure with the prefix "sp_" in the
    database other than master, the master database is always checked first, and if the user-created stored procedure has the same name as a system stored procedure, the user-created stored procedure will never be executed.
    Use the sp_executesql stored procedure instead of the EXECUTE statement.
    The sp_executesql stored procedure supports parameters. So, using the sp_executesql stored procedure instead of the EXECUTE statement improve readability of your code when there are many parameters are used. When you use the sp_executesql stored procedure to
    executes a Transact-SQL statements that will be reused many times, the SQL Server query optimizer will reuse the execution plan it generates for the first execution when the change in parameter values to the statement is the only variation.
    Use sp_executesql stored procedure instead of temporary stored procedures.
    Microsoft recommends to use the temporary stored procedures when connecting to earlier versions of SQL Server that do not support the reuse of execution plans. Applications connecting to SQL Server 7.0 or SQL Server 2000 should use the sp_executesql system
    stored procedure instead of temporary stored procedures to have a better chance to reuse the execution plans.
    If you have a very large stored procedure, try to break down this stored procedure into several sub-procedures, and call them from a controlling stored procedure.
    The stored procedure will be recompiled when any structural changes were made to a table or view referenced by the stored procedure (for example, ALTER TABLE statement), or when a large number of INSERTS, UPDATES or DELETES are made to a table referenced by
    a stored procedure. So, if you break down a very large stored procedure into several sub-procedures, you get chance that only a single sub-procedure will be recompiled, but other sub-procedures will not.
    Try to avoid using temporary tables inside your stored procedure.
    Using temporary tables inside stored procedure reduces the chance to reuse the execution plan.
    Try to avoid using DDL (Data Definition Language) statements inside your stored procedure.
    Using DDL statements inside stored procedure reduces the chance to reuse the execution plan.
    Add the WITH RECOMPILE option to the CREATE PROCEDURE statement if you know that your query will vary each time it is run from the stored procedure.
    The WITH RECOMPILE option prevents reusing the stored procedure execution plan, so SQL Server does not cache a plan for this procedure and the procedure is recompiled at run time. Using the WITH RECOMPILE option can boost performance if your query will vary
    each time it is run from the stored procedure because in this case the wrong execution plan will not be used.
    Use SQL Server Profiler to determine which stored procedures has been recompiled too often.
    To check the stored procedure has been recompiled, run SQL Server Profiler and choose to trace the event in the "Stored Procedures" category called "SP:Recompile". You can also trace the event "SP:StmtStarting" to see at what point
    in the procedure it is being recompiled. When you identify these stored procedures, you can take some correction actions to reduce or eliminate the excessive recompilations.

  • Stored procedure accessing system table

    I am using a stored procedure to access tables in other schemas. I pass the schema and table name as parameters to the stored procedure. I use these two variables to create a cursor of column names from all_tab_columns table. When I access all_tab_columns from SQL Plus, the right result is returned. When the procedure executes the same select statement in the same schema and using the same search criteria, the table I am looking for can not be found.
    Example:
    select count(column_name) from all_tab_columns where owner = 'MYADM' and table_name = 'MYTABLE';
    This will return the correct number of columns when executed in SQL Plus.
    cursor mycursor is
    select count(column_name) from all_tab_columns where owner = p_owner and table_name = p_table;
    This cursor, when used in my stored procedure, finds nothing when p_owner is set to MYADM and p_table is set to MYTABLE.
    I've tried granting all permissions to the calling schema with no positive results. I am aware that the calling schema is not required to have the necessary privileges when a procedure accesses data in other schemas. So I don't understand what the problem is. I greatly appreciate anyone's help.

    Hi,
    try this, probaly this'll give you the desired output :
    Procedure Column_cnt
    ( p_owner IN varchar2,
    p_table IN varchar2 ) IS
    cursor c1 is
    select count(column_name) col_cnt from all_tab_columns where owner = upper(p_owner)
    and table_name = upper(p_table);
    BEGIN
    for i in c1 loop
    dbms_output.put_line(i.col_cnt);
    end loop;
    END;
    Now from SQLPLUS type :
    exec column_cnt('OWNER','TABLE_NAME')
    Note: parameters are in Varchar2, so they should be within quotes.
    But do you really want a cursor to store a single row, single column value, cursors are for fetching multiple rows/columns that means for a result set.
    if you want to get only count(column_name) then you could re-write the procedure like this way :
    Procedure Column_cnt
    ( p_owner IN varchar2,
    p_table IN varchar2 ) IS
    col_cnt number;
    BEGIN
    select count(column_name) into col_cnt from all_tab_columns where owner = upper(p_owner)and table_name = upper(p_table);
    dbms_output.put_line(i.col_cnt);
    END;
    Thanks

    Afterwards, I have read this note in a Pointbase document:
    To invoke the dateConvert external Java method from a stored function, you must use the
    CREATE FUNCTION statement. The dateConvert external Java method is called from the
    class, SampleExternalMethods.
    In order for the database to access this external Java method, the class SampleExternalMethods
    must be included in the database CLASSPATH. For PointBase Embedded - Server Option, it
    must be in the Server CLASSPATH, but not in the Client CLASSPATH.
    If PointBase Server is run with the Java Security Manager, in the java policy file grant
    ’com.pointbase.sp.spPermission’ to the class that implements the external Java method.
    An "spPermission" consists of a class name with no action. The class name is a name of a class
    that could be used in creating a Stored Procedure in PointBase. The naming convention follows
    the hierarchical property naming convention and that is supported by
    "java.security.BasicPermission". An asterisk may appear by itself, or if immediately preceded
    by ".", may appear at the end of the name, to signify a wildcard match. The name cannot
    contain any white spaces.
    I'm not sure, but I suppose that I must include the class SampleExternalMethods in a .jar file.
    The database CLASSPATH could be : C:\Sun\AppServer\pointbase\lib\
    These my files in this database CLASSPATH:
    pbclient.jar
    pbembedded.jar
    pbtools.jar
    pbupgrade.jar
    I have tryed to include the class SampleExternalMethods in pbclient.jar and pbembedded.jar with this command:
    jar -uf pbembedded.jar SampleExternalMethods
    Afterwards I do that,
    1) Start Pointbase
    2) Configuration of classpath
    set classpath=C:\Sun\AppServer\pointbase\lib\pbclient.jar
    set classpath=%classpath%;D:\J2EE\Ch07Code\Ch07_06
    I precise that my file SampleExternalMethods is into D:\J2EE\Ch07Code\Ch07_06\Ch07.
    Then, I run the program:
    D:\J2EE\Ch07Code\Ch07_06>java -Djdbc.drivers=com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver Ch07.SampleExternalMethods
    But I have an error message:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Ch07.SampleExternalMethods (wrong name: SampleExternalMethods)

    at java.lang.ClassLoader.DefineClass(ClassLoader.java:539)
    The problem, I suppose, comes from that the class SampleExternalMethods
    must be included in the database CLASSPATH, but there is a pbserver.jar with pointbase normally, but I didn't find it. That's why I use pbembedded.jar or pbclient.jar in order to include the class SampleExternalMethods. May be I must start from C:\Sun\AppServer\pointbase\lib\ instead of D:\J2EE\Ch07Code\Ch07_06\Ch07?
    Please, can somebody helps me?
    Thank you in advance.
    cagou!

    Thank you for your response, I have done two classes:

    }But I have the same error message that previously.
    I have read this note and I suppose that the problem is linked:
    If PointBase Server is run with the Java Security Manager, in the java policy file grant
    *’com.pointbase.sp.spPermission’ to the class that implements the external Java method.*
    An "spPermission" consists of a class name with no action. The class name is a name of a class
    that could be used in creating a Stored Procedure in PointBase. The naming convention follows
    the hierarchical property naming convention and that is supported by
    *"java.security.BasicPermission". An asterisk may appear by itself, or if immediately preceded*
    by ".", may appear at the end of the name, to signify a wildcard match. The name cannot
    contain any white spaces.
    Can you explain me what I must to do in order to solve this problem of spPermission.
    Thanks.

  • Unable to access Custom UDTs returned from a Java Stored Procedure

    Hi,
    I have a UDT in the DB :-
    create type contactrecord as object (
    CN_ID NUMBER(8),
    CN_TITLE VARCHAR2(40),
    CN_FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(25)
    and this is the corresponding java class ContactDetails.java that maps to this UDT, that I loaded in the Aurora VM.
    package package1;
    mport java.sql.SQLData;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import java.sql.SQLInput;
    import java.sql.SQLOutput;
    public class ContactDetails implements SQLData
    private String sql_type;
    private long CN_ID;
    private String CN_TITLE;
    private String CN_FIRST_NAME;
    public String getSQLTypeName() throws SQLException
    return this.sql_type;
    //implementation of readSql
    public void readSQL(SQLInput stream, String typeName) throws SQLException
    sql_type = typeName;
    CN_ID = stream.readLong();
    CN_TITLE = stream.readString();
    CN_FIRST_NAME = stream.readString();
    public void writeSQL(SQLOutput stream) throws SQLException
    stream.writeLong(CN_ID);
    stream.writeString(CN_TITLE);
    stream.writeString(CN_FIRST_NAME);
    //getters and setters for the class vars go here.....
    There is another class A.java that has a java stored procedure/function, which I loaded into the Aurora VM
    Here is the class.
    package package1;
    public class A
    public static ContactDetails returnObject(String name )
         ContactDetails cd = new ContactDetails();
         cd.setCN_ID(1);
    cd.setCN_FIRST_NAME(name);
    return cd;
    Then I declared the call spec for A.returnObject() as
    FUNCTION returnObject(name varchar2) return contactrecord
    AS LANGUAGE JAVA
    NAME 'package1.A.returnObject(java.lang.String) return package1.ContactDetails';
    Then I tried to call the function returnObject through JDBC calls from a class in another VM.
    When I access the object returned by the function, I get a null object.
    Here is the Client code:
    CallableStatement cs = null;
    ResultSet rs = null;
    try
    cs = conn.prepareCall("{ ? = call returnObject(?) }");
    java.util.Map map = conn.getTypeMap();
    map.put("ADMIN.CONTACTRECORD", Class.forName("package1.ContactDetails"));
    conn.setTypeMap(map);
    cs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.STRUCT, "ADMIN.CONTACTRECORD");
    cs.setString(2, "John Doe" );
    cs.execute();
    ContactDetails cd = (ContactDetails)cs.getObject(1);
    System.out.println("contact first name is:-"+cd.getCN_FIRST_NAME()); //Null Pointer here..cd is null....:(
    if (cs != null) cs.close();
    catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    Although If I try to access the same function from a pl/sql block, I am able
    to access the contactrecord fields.
    What could be wrong ..???
    I could not find any error with the object mapping, as it works perfectly when I interact directly from my VM to the DB,
    without going thru the aurora VM.
    I am using a OCI driver to connect to the DB via JDBC.
    Thanx in advance for any help at all.

    Shahid,
    I too have had bad luck in many cases with the automatic translation of Java types to PL/SQL and back. I think the SYS package on the PL/SQL side which handles some of the conversion is DBMS_PICKLER (there are equivalent Java classes which do the same in that world and seem to execute automagically when a conversion is needed). You might want to double-check the data type mappings against the DOC on OTN to make sure they map 1-1. Also make sure the permissions are granted against your objects to whoever is executing them, etc. Very often, I've resorted to passing simple scalar types between the two languages as in some cases the results with complex types are inconsistent.
    Sorry this isn't much help,
    -Dan
