Timing on sql*plus

Hi,
from sql*plus I made:
set timing on;
exec my_stored_procedure;
elapesed 00:05:342.86
How many hours, minutes and second is 00:05:342.86??
Thanks

There is a bug in the timing display of some versions of sqlplus. I believe it was fixed in 8.1.x, and only affected Windows versions of sqlplus.
The timing shown means 5 minutes 342.86 seconds, or in more normal terms, 10 minutes 42.85 seconds.

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.

Unix Environment variable for connect string in SQL*Plus

I am using some environment variables to connect to a sql*plus session in unix.
they are exported as part of a file which contains the following and gets executed through the .profile.
export db_username=xxx
export db_password=xxx
export db_name=xxx
i have created a file abc.sql which contains the following
connect $db_username/$db_password@$db_name
Now, I have a shell script which uses this file inside it to connect to a sql*plus session and execute some queries.
The contents of the shell script :
API_CONNECT_SQL=abc.sql
sqlplus /nolog << THEEND
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT SQL.SQLCODE ROLLBACK
WHENEVER OSERROR EXIT FAILURE ROLLBACK
set timing on
@${API_CONNECT_SQL}
---- do something
EXIT
THEEND
Now, the sql*plus session is able to get db_username and db_password, but not the db_name. It says "TNS service name not found".
If I hardcode some database name in place of db_name, it connects properly.
Please let me know the problem and solution as well.
Any help appreciated.
thanks,
Vijay

for me this one works
# =========================================

SQL*Plus Question

All -
I am in the process of creating a series of reports for the users to run through SQL*Plus. Instead of them having to the individual report names, I wanted to create a menu type interface.
Here is a simple example:
set lines 1000
set pages 0
set head off
set trims on
set trim on
set echo off
set verify off
set timing on
prompt Available Reports:
prompt
prompt 1 - Customer Dealer Trades
prompt 2 - Customer Dealer Volume
prompt
accept rpt number prompt 'Enter the number you wish to run: '
variable runrpt varchar2(15)
execute select decode(&rpt, 1, '@CustDlrTrds', '@CustDlrVols') into :runrpt from dual;
print runrpt
This will accept the input and display the necessary command, but is there a way to run the script instead of printing out the name?
Thx

I saved your script as d:\start_rpt.sql
set lines 1000
set pages 0
set head off
set trims on
set trim on
set echo off
set verify off
set timing on
prompt Available Reports:
prompt
prompt 1 - Customer Dealer Trades

prompt
column rpt_val new_value rpt_val
accept rpt number prompt 'Enter the number you wish to run: '
select decode(&rpt, 1, 'CustDlrTrds', 'CustDlrVols') rpt_val from dual;
@ &rpt_valIt works for me

SQL*plus not displaying the result of XMLELEMENT

HI,
I am using SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.4.2
Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0
When I run the following query in SQL*PLUS, I get nothing displayed. However when I run the same query connecting to the same database using SQL Developer then I get the result
SQL> select XMLELEMENT("form_id",form_id)
2 FROM collections;
XMLELEMENT("FORM_ID",FORM_ID)
In SQL developer
<form_id>101</form_id>
I set long and longchuncksize to 32K , and I change linesize, pages, but nothing helped
Is there any configuration that I have to do, so that SQL*plus display the result of “ select XMLELEMENT("form_id",form_id) query.
Appreciate you help, thanks

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

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

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

Can not query PQH_BUDGET_DETAILS in SQL*Plus

Hi!
I can see the Positions in the Forms-Mask within EBS.
I want to write a concurrent Programm which queries some data form the positions-table.
If i klick on "Help > Diagnostics > Examine" and select "system.last_query" i can see, that the data comes from a view called: "PQH_POS_BUDGETS_V".
But if i try to query this view in SQL*Plus, it is empty.
So i had a look at how this view is build, and i found, that the base tables should be PQH_BUDGETS and PQH_BUDGET_DETAILS.
How can i query the position_id in PQH_BUDGET_DETAILS in a concurrent program or an self-writen BI Publisher Report?
If i try to query in SQL*Plus it's empty.
Who can help me with this issue?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi!
Thats great!
Thank you very much!

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.

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.

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.

You create the "login" information when you install the database. If you are not the person who performed the installation, you will need to contact them or install it again. Also, be aware that the SCOTT schema is disabled by default in newer database versions for security reasons.
The tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files can be found in the ORACLE_HOME\network\admin directory. This is the same for all Oracle products that use Sql-Net for database connections. You can also use the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to a pre-existing tnsnames.ora file (see previously mentioned documents).
The tnsnames.ora entry will be unique to your database and its listener however here is an example:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = someServer.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)
