Sorry all your suggestion did not work ( the log file had this error message
Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
-H Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
usage help.
-V Displays the SQL*Plus version.
Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
<option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
... I know its possible to login into sqlplus and run the querry, but I want it as a script which would output this kind of result to the screen
SESSION_ID SERIAL# USERNAME OBJECT_NAME      OS_USER_NAME

is it possible or am I asking for the impossible...!!! I appreciate your suggestion... you can alter the script I put up and paste the correction so that I can see cleary how you made it work for you.

Can we run a unix script from sql plus

Hello,
Is there any possibility to run unix command from sql plus? I would appreciate if you can provide with the syntax.
Thank You

KKWithin sqlplus you can run
1) SQL statements
2) PL/SQL blocks
3) any valid sqlplus command.
SQLplus commands are documented in the SQLPlus reference manual. For 10g this is found at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm. You might be interested in the HOST command, detailed at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ch12026.htm#sthref2314
Just beware that the HOST command (or the shortcut version of it alluded to by Warren Tolentino) spawns a child process. When control comes back to sqlplus, that child process is gone.
What is the business problem you are trying to solve? If we knew that we could probably give better advice than blindly giving you the correct technical answer to a narrow question.

Oracle career with unix scripting?

with learning of sql and shell scripting
i want to make my career in oracle which should be more dynamic,learning and creative not like in production support which have monotonus life.
could anyone please guide me about what career path i should choose ?
DBA , i have heard is montonous job too with same routine backups,no creativity with nightshifts and all, but it is more stable as people said. I have no experiance of it.
second devolper track in sql/pl sql having its own limitations like less demand, less financial growth etc. and people usually wants to shift in other area like BO
i don`t have any info about others areas like that i would like to explore
1)Datawarehousing
2)Oracle apps
3)Business objects (BO reporting)
4)Oracle CRM etc
5)Others (thats all i know,please add some others if they are creative )
iam really confsused now which way to chosse. and how to jump in other company on wat basis?
preparing for OCA right now but uncertain for career.
Seeking good help from forum experts.

"with learning of sql and shell scripting"
Ah, very good move, so you must pick my tool, it is all about managing Oracle DB through Korn shell http://www.smenu.org.
As of your question, the answer is in your mood and preference.
Oracle DBA: Definitely more money, less opportunity. the job is dwindling somehow due to Grid automation and budget restriction.
It is not that you don't need DBA, but manager thinks they can do without and don't (try) replace them. Pressure on DBA is a myth: more work = more money = happy DBA until wife run away.
Developer : Definitely less money, not necessary more opportunity unless you have java EE. no shift but more pressure: Projects are always in late, usually in the development area, not in the infrastructure.
One funny thing I noticed during these last 15 years, is that DBA have usually more children than others people (unix sys admin or Dev). Probably related to better earning.
DBA can be boring or passionate depending on your own knowledge, most of others DBA I know are still in the job, only one is now JAVA EE guy.

SQL Developer Script Output too limited for student - how to increase?

I'm just a student trying to migrate from notepad and SQL Plus to using the SQL Developer for the comprehensive course project. Unfortunately, the script output is way too limited... it only reports a fourth of my last assignment's results - not enough to use in the project. How specifically can this be increased. I have version 1.1.0.21 running on Windows XP on a laptop with 512k memory.
Thanks much for any/all assist. I don't want to go back to notepad!!

Thank you for the advice, but I had tried that. My script is 305 lines counting blank lines and the SQL developer displays only about 35 lines of results corresponding to 58 lines of input. When I run the same script in SQL Plus in a console window using the @filename command, I get the entire output.
My input and output follow:

SQL Worksheet - Script output is restricted to 5000 rows

Hello,
till now only 5000 rows are currently supported in a script results.
I have read, this count will be a preference in future releases. Is there such a release and if "yes" how can I change this count of rows?
Script Output of SQL Worksheet is the only possibility in SQL Developer I know, to export data from a query, that is a join of multiple tables, into flat file. Is there another one?
Thanks,
Tzonka

You can run your query as a statement (F9) and the results will be displayed in the Results tab. In the Results tab, you can right-click, select Export and then Text. This will allow you to export the results of the query into a text file (or the clipboard). This will enclose values with " and separate with tabs (allowing alternatives is another "wait for a later release" function).
This will produce the equivalent output of creating the view and exporting the data from the view tab as suggested by Sharon, without having to go to the effort of creating the view.
If by "flat file" you mean exactly what you would get with a spool from SQL*Plus, then the Script tab is your only option and you are restricted to the 5000 rows.

SQL Developer formatting script output

Im new to sql developer. I have been unable to format the script output to decrease the width of the column below.
All numeric columns seem to use 22 underscores. I would like to format this to make it more presentable to users.
I have tried column, substr, and the various trims. While these work in native unix, they do not seem to work in
SQL Developer. Up till now I have found SQL Developer to be a very usefull tool. I hope this is just a matter of me not
having enough knowledge of the product and not a problem with it.
Any and all assistance greatly appreciated.

Yes, have checked preferences but could not see anything to change.
Edited by: 788184 on 12/08/2010 19:55I think the problem is related to SQL*PLUS. SQL Developer tries to mimick SQL*PLUS whan you run something as a script. The mimicking s not perfect though.
The size of this line depends on the typeof the database field. For numbers a larger line is taken. For varchar2 it depends from the size of the values or the header.
If you are absolutly sure that data inside this column is always smaller, then you could try the following thing.
select cast(HEAD1 as varchar2(5)) as HEAD1 from yourTableBe careful since this will do a number to string conversion. But since it seems to be for reporting purposes that should be ok.

How to flush script output in sql developer

Greetings from a newbie,
how can I flush script output in sql developer?

Flush? You can wipe the Output pane by pressing the "Clear" icon (crayon gum): the first icon on the tab's mini-toolbar.
Does that answer your question?

Scripting pl/sql from unix

I am wondering if there is a way to do this with certain restrictions. If not, I can do it another way.
1. I have a list of values in a unix .txt file of the form
VALUEA
VALUEB
VALUEC
I know how to read a list in unix using a loop.
2. I want to call a pl/sql anonymous block that I have in a .sql file 1 time for every value in this script and pass the value.
I do know how to read a value and then pass it to a pl/sql parameter and then call the pl/sql parameter.
What I don't know how to do is
Do this with only logging into sqlplus one time. I dont want to do the following
unix runs in a loop
reads 1 record from file
logs into sqlplus
runs the procedure and passes the value
log out of sqlplus
end loop
I want to
1. read all the values from the file
2. store it somehow in memory (variable of some sort)
3. pass this value to the pl/sql procedure
I do not want to make any objects in the database such as a global temporary table.
Yes I can actually do this, but wondering if it is possible to avoid. Makes it easier to deploy to alot of different databases. If I have to make a database object, then i have to make an object in alot of databases. If I can run it all from unix, all I have to do is change the target and the password. So it is easier to deploy.

I don't need to put this in an Oracle Directory. I am not calling anything from pl/sql stored in the database. It is going to all be done with unix scripts and anonymous block sql in .sql statements in the OS. This allows me to take advantage of clustered storage (I can have alot of databases servers mounted on 1 directory). So the unix script will log into oracle and call the .sql script.
I can build the pl/sql dynamically. I'd rather not do that. The thing is I have alot of databases I want to deploy code to. So I am trying to come up with a pattern I can follow. So if I add a new database or what to deploy somewhere else, I can just use add a line to a file.
Adding database objects every time I need to deploy to a new database is a pain. It is far more scaleable to handle all of this in unix.

More on unix script from pl/sql

Hi All,
There was this discussion on starting unix scripts from within a pl/sql stored procedure started on August 31.
All comments were targeted towards an oracle 8X solution.
Does anyone have a solution for 7.3.4?
Somebody mentioned something about using dbms_pipe package.
So, just to rephrase the problem:
- Need to execute any unix command/script from within a pl/sql block (stored procedure). Instance is oracle 7.3.4
Thanks!
Enrique

Hi Juan,
You can try this solution:
enable in the the init file the parameter
utl_file_dir="target_directory"In this way You permit the the DB to writing directly to the filesistem in the directory You specified.
After restarting the istance You may write Your own code that, using the supplied package UTL_FILE, writes a file in that directory (es. my_script.sh)
Then, instruct the cron daemon to execute every 1 minute this command.
You may append to the script the self-destruction after the execution.
I hope that this will help You.

Call a unix script from pl/sql package

Hi,
Using 11.2.0.3 on AIX.
Is it possible to call unix script from pl/sql package?
I am cretaing a file in a directory but would like this to automatically be written to an archive directory as well.
Could either use 2 utl_file.put_lines to 2 separate directories or 1 utl_file and cal script to archive file in another directory.?
Thoughts?
Thanks

What am I doing wrong?think how file name will look like:
SQL> select 'file_name' || to_char(sysdate,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dual;
'FILE_NAME'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE
file_name15/08/2012 11:47:51Will AIX swallow such name? Obviously not. And, unfortunately, UTL_FILE.FCOPY doesn't raise an error in such case. So use someting like:
UTL_FILE.FCOPY ('SOURCE_DIR',v_FILE_NAME,'DEST_DIR',v_file_name||to_char(sysdate,'DD_MM_YYYY_HH24_MI_SS'));SY.

Unix Scripts and PL/SQL

I want to run a UNIX script via PL/SQL. I want the script to be run with no assistance from an outside source. The script contains a 'ls'. Is this possible and if so, how.

You can use an "external procedure", written in C, which then uses the C runtime library to access the UNIX shell. This features is
also known as "callouts".
We will likely add better native support
in PL/SQL for various operating system
activities in a future release.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Can you invoke Perl from within PLSQL?
