Using DBMS_JOB

Question

Is there a way to schedule to run an SQL script with DBMS_JOB. All I can see in the documentation is to schedule a PL/SQL procedure.
If not, do you know any other built in Oracle utility that can do this.
Thanks

Answer 1

This is a brief example about how you can work with java:
public class MyClass2 {
public static String Concat(String inString1, String inString2) {
System.out.println("Calling MyClass2.Concat\n");
return inString1 + inString2;
Compile and load the class as described above and publish the stored
function to the database using the following:
CREATE FUNCTION ConcatTwo(Str1 IN VARCHAR2,
Str2 IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'MyClass2.Concat(java.lang.String,
java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
From SQL*Plus, use either the CALL or EXECUTE syntax to invoke
a stored function as follows:
SQLPLUS> var temp varchar2(25);
SQLPLUS> CALL ConcatTwo('Hello', 'World') INTO :temp;
Call completed.
SQLPLUS> print temp;
temp
==========
HelloWorld
OR
SQLPLUS> var temp varchar2(25);
SQLPLUS> EXECUTE :temp := ConcatTwo('Hello','World');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQLPLUS> print temp;
temp
==========
HelloWorld
You can run the script inside the java code and after you can make a call from PL/SQL.
I hope that can guide a little.
