• Call Shell Script from within PL/SQL - using DBMS_PIPE

  Hi all

  I'm trying to run a shell script inside my PL/SQL using DBMS_PIPE block (not sure if this is the right way or not)

  Pl Sql script

  ==========

  Set serveroutput size 100000

  declare

  cursor c1 is select * from mag_images

  where nom_image like '% comp2.

  v_path varchar2 (100): = ' / home/maguzzi/DOCUMENTS_DIR / ";

  v_result number: = 0;

  v_in_filename varchar2 (100): = v_path | ' test_file.jpg';

  v_out_filename varchar2 (100): = v_path | ' test_file_out.jpg';

  v_script varchar2 (100): = "tst_convert.sh";

  v_command varchar2 (200): = 'sh'. v_path | v_script | » '|| v_in_filename | » '|| v_out_filename;

  Start

  A1 to c1 loop

  dbms_output.put_line ('v_command: ' | v_command);

  write_to_file ('test_file.jpg', 'DOCUMENTS_DIR', a1. Content);

  dbms_output.put_line (' file write result: ' | v_result);

  v_result: = exec_host_command (v_command);

  dbms_output.put_line (' resize result :'|| file v_result);

  end loop;

  end;

  Result DBMS_OUTPUT

  ====================

  v_command: /home/maguzzi/DOCUMENTS_DIR/tst_convert.sh test_file.jpg test_file_out.jpg

  Result of the entry of the file: 0

  Result of resizing the file: 0

  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

  Function exec_host_command

  =======================

  FUNCTION to CREATE or REPLACE exec_host_command (lc_cmd IN VARCHAR2)

  RETURN INTEGER IS

  ln_status NUMBER;

  lc_errormsg VARCHAR2 (80);

  lc_pipe_name VARCHAR2 (30);

  BEGIN

  lc_pipe_name: = 'Maguzzi_PIPE ';

  DBMS_PIPE. PACK_MESSAGE (lc_cmd);

  ln_status: = dbms_pipe.send_message (lc_pipe_name);

  RETURN ln_status;

  END;

  /

  The Image of the BLOB is written to the correct location on the server "test_file.jpg", and although the exec_host_command function returns a value of 0, the shell script (tst_convert.sh) is not executed (i.e. no output file is created - outfile.txt and the image is not copied/converted to a new file name "" test_file_out.jpg" )

  Shell script

  ========

  tst_convert.sh

  echo 'Here' > outfile.txt

  Echo $1 > > outfile.txt

  Echo $2 > > outfile.txt

  resizing to convert $1 - $200 2

  Could this be problems with permissions on files?

  test_file1.jpg has permission - rw-rw-r-

  test_convert.sh a permission rwxrwxrwx

  When I run the script manually and pass in 2 parameters ($1 = infilename and $2 = outfilename), it works...

  I'd appreciate if someone can point out my mistake or suggest another method that works.

  Thanks in advance

  How long does it take to create the converted file? Remember that the external Scheduler is running asynchronously, so it is possible that the converted file does not exist yet when the PL/SQL block subsequently tries to open it.

  Try to add some delay seconds to the routine to ensure that the external task is completed:

      begin
        dbms_scheduler.create_job(
            job_name => 'MAG_IMAGE_CONVERT2'
          , job_type => 'EXECUTABLE'
          , job_action => '/home/oracle/DOCUMENTS_DIR/tst_convert2.sh' );--  '/home/oracle/DOCUMENTS_DIR/tst_convert.sh');
        dbms_scheduler.enable('MAG_IMAGE_CONVERT2');
        dbms_lock.sleep(3);
      end;
  

  This probably isn't really a viable solution in the long term if it turns out that this is really the problem.

• Calling batch file. SQL file with parameters

  Hi all:
  
  I may / may not have correct code, because I can't find a Google result for answering the question and cannot test this solution until it goes live, so I want to make sure I have it correct.
  
  I have a batch (file1.bat) file that implements some variables. Inside this file, I call a .sql like this procedure:
  sqlplus username/password@environment @c:\sql\export.sql cID %%d sID % % exportFilename %
  
  How do I use these settings within the export.sql so they are passed to the oracle procedure?
  
  I am currently using the following code:
  BEGIN
  sinterface. Export (1, 2 & 3);
  EXCEPTION
  WHILE OTHERS
  THEN NULL;
  END;
  
  This code will work? I know that if I call another code file1.bat .bat file, I can get the settings such as:
  SET of cID = %1
  SET sID = %2
  SET exportFileName = %3
  
  OR
  
  SET CompID = compID %
  SET SiteID = siteID %
  SET exportFileName = % exportFilename %
  
  But I have no idea if / how this translates an oracle .sql file to call a stored procedure. I got a result of Google to show using the & 1 & 2 & 3 to set the parameters of this batch file, but as I can't test it, I have no idea if it would work.
  
  Anyone would be able to confirm the correct method?
  
  Thank you

  I am currently using the following code:

  BEGIN
  sinterface.export(&1, &2, &3);
  EXCEPTION
  WHEN OTHERS
  THEN NULL;
  END;
  

  Since you simply call a Script SQL of your batch file file is not really necessary to use an anonymous block to call your stored procedure. In addition, as you use the OTHER generic exception - you never know if there was a mistake. Really, you shouldn't use SO that OTHERS value NULL. This isn't a very good programming practice. As for your variables, I would recommend that you set the substitution variables in your script and set your settings to access these variables. For example:

  DEFINE c_id = &1 (CHAR)
  DEFINE s_id = &2 (CHAR)
  DEFINE f_name = &3 (CHAR)
  
  Execute sinterface.export(c_id, s_id, f_name);
  

  I would not include an exception handler at this level that any exception must propagate to the calling program.

• Basic i/o and pass parameters

  I'm trying to work with shell scripts and set of stored procedures and I have a few problems with the basics, the manual is simply not seeming to give me the answers to.
  I think I can go a long way, I can tell how to proceed:
  
  Create a procedure very very simple that takes one argument (a name of table for example), attributes this arg in a variable, this variable is used in a sql and also uses it to an output file and then returns the results to the file.
  
  Something like this:
  Pseudocode
  
  Create procedure testproc (tabname (varchar (200)) AS)
  tabowner varchar (200);
  BEGIN
  coil tabname.out
  Select the owner from user_objects where object_name = tabname in tabowner;
  "dbms_output.put_line (' the owner of ' | 'is' tabname | tabowner)"
  END;

  Hello

  You cannot call SQL * Plus commands in PL/SQL, as you try here (although it is possible to use the PL/SQL in SQL * more). If you want to write to a file in PL/SQL, you can use an integrated as UTL_FILE package.

  It is quite possible, however, to achieve what you want through SQL * Plus, something like:

  #!/bin/ksh
  
  export TABLE_NAME=$1 # table passed in to script
  
  sqlplus username/password << EOF
  set pagesize 1000
  spool tabname.out
  BEGIN
  FOR cur_rec IN (SELECT owner FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE table_name = '${TABLE_NAME}')
    LOOP
    dbms_output.put_line('the owner of ' || ${TABLE_NAME} || ' is ' || cur_rec.owner);
    END LOOP;
  END;
  /
  spool off
  quit
  EOF

• Calling a procedure with IN and OUT parameters

  Hello
  
  I usually call my procedures using the following
  
  declare the variable msg_erreur varchar2 (50)
  exec simple_msg('ABC,'ABC','ABC',:error_msg);
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SIMPLE_MSG)
  ID IN VARCHAR2,
  URL IN VARCHAR2,
  THE LIST IN VARCHAR2,
  MSG_ERREUR OUT VARCHAR2
  
  *************************************************************
  Now my question is, I try to call a proc that has IN OUT parameters. Can someone guide me on how to call the d.a. thanks
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SIMPLE_MSG)
  ID IN VARCHAR2,
  URL IN VARCHAR2,
  THE LIST IN VARCHAR2,
  NAME IN VARCHAR OUT,
  MSG_ERREUR OUT VARCHAR2

  Hello

  OUTSIDE of the parameters are passed as OUT was: you must pass a variable.

  If you set the IN OUT parameter before calling the procedure, and then either
  (a) use the separate EXEC command:

  EXEC  :name := 'Original name';
  EXEC  simple_msg ('ABC', 'ABC', 'ABC', :name, :error_msg);
  

  or

  (b) use a PL/SQL anonymous block, like this:

  BEGIN
      :name := 'Original name';
      simple_msg ('ABC', 'ABC', 'ABC', :name, :error_msg);
  END;
  /
  

  The parameter can be either a variable binding (as illustrated above), or a local variable (which may only be used in the block).

  I need to call once again for the sub_script.sql based on start_date and end_date, for example 1st January 2015 and January 5, 2015 I must first get the parition name and proceed to modify the table with that respective partition name returned by the function, so that it will be 5 times alter the table to swap partition

  I'll have a .sql script that returns the name of the partition and I need to run alter table Exchange partition

  This is just a continuation of your other thread

  For the name of the partition in the partition range table

  As I said it you do not have to know the name of the partition to make an EXCHANGE. I gave you an example in this other thread.

  ACCEPT user_yn PROMPT ' do you want the table to partition with ? (Y, N) : "

  That makes no sense at all. You cannot partition a table that is already partitioned. If there is a name for the partition and then the table is partitioned already - then ask why to partition?

  ALTER TABLE to_tehblnc

  SWAP PARTITION

  WITH TABLE T1

  WITHOUT VALIDATION

  UPDATE GLOBAL INDEXES;

  I need to call once again for the sub_script.sql based on start_date and end_date, for example 1st January 2015 and January 5, 2015 I must first get the parition name and proceed to modify the table with that respective partition name returned by the function, so that it will be 5 times alter the table to swap partition

  No - you don't have. Just use the code example I provided in your other thread. You don't need to know the name of the partition and use dynamic sql statements to make the Exchange.

  Just use PARTITION syntax as shown in the example.

  Do things the EASY way. Your code and the script is totally useless.

• Threads and passing parameters to it

  Hello everyone,

  now I play with sons and I am wondering how to change the setting to the thread function.

  I created a thread function is

  void CVICALLBACK (char id [], char value []) doThread

  {

  do something

  }

  and I want to call the thread like this

  CmtScheduleThreadPoolFunction (DEFAULT_THREAD_HANDLE, doThread(FIX_ARG1,FIX_ARG2), NULL, & threadID);

  But somehow, it does not work. How can I pass strings to the thread function?

  Thank you all...

  Common to pass data to a thread is to pick everything up in a structure, and then past the address of this structure to the function that installs the thread. Then tapped him, cast the parameter passed to a pointer of type structure, and you can then reference the data. As:

  typedef struct {}

  int executed;

  Short flag;

  char string [32];

  } structThread, * pstructThread;

  ...

  structThread tData;

  ...

  tData.run = 1;

  CmtScheduleThreadPoolFunction (..., & tData,...)

  ...

  int MyThread (void * param) {}

  pstructThread td = param (pstructThread);

  so that {(td-> run)

  ...

  }

  return 0;

  }

• CFLock and passing parameters

  Hello, I have two questions...

  Many examples of security of the site, I noticed the use CFlock tag. Hwoever, when you look at the documentation of CF9, in a specific example of the security of the site that includes user roles (using an application.cfc file) there is no mention of the herds. They are required to authenticate users or not? I don't see why they would. The variable being edited is the status of users (authenticated or not), and since it is in the session scope, it is already unique, no? So why bother with CFLock?

  Secondly, how can I redirect a person to the same page that they where after having submitted a form? I have a form letter of new present on all pages of the Web site, and I would like to than the person to return to the same page they where, the when they presented the form.

  In pre - mx days, i.e. ColdFusion 4.5, ColdFusion was leaking bad memory with the memory shared as session variables.  Popular workarounds should all reads and writes these variables.  That has long been useless, but there are always tons of old code examples and senior developers who continue to utilze this work around.

  The action of a form page is defined in the

  parameter.  If you name the form page itself as the action of the user page will remain on the same page.

  You can also name another page of the action, and then at the end of the processing of the page use a tag to redirect the user to the desired page.

• call a script sql with one parameter of another

  Hello

  The trick is to generate a sql script with all your calls to internal scripts and their parameters.

  For example, my script is internal countTableIndex.sql :

  select 'Table &1 has got '||count(*)||' indexes.' from user_indexes where table_name='&1';
  

  And here's my script outside coutnIndex.sql :

  set serverout on pages 0 lines 100 feed off time off verify off define on tab off trimspool on trimout on termout on termout off
  spool cmd.sql
  begin
  for cur in (select table_name tab from user_tables) loop
       dbms_output.put_line('@countTableIndexes.sql '||cur.tab);
       null;
  end loop;
  end;
  /
  spool off
  set termout on
  @cmd.sql
  exit;
  

  As you can see, it generates a file cmd.sql containing internal script calls and ultimately calls the script cmd.sql.
  In my example schema scott after the execution, the cmd.sql file contains:

  @countTableIndexes.sql DEPT
  @countTableIndexes.sql EMP
  @countTableIndexes.sql BONUS
  @countTableIndexes.sql SALGRADE
  @countTableIndexes.sql TOTO
  

  Here is the result of my machine:

  [oracle@Nicosa-oel test19_parameterizedSqlScripts]$ sqlplus -s scott/tiger@my11g @countIndex.sql
  Table DEPT has got 1 indexes.
  Table EMP has got 1 indexes.
  Table BONUS has got 0 indexes.
  Table SALGRADE has got 0 indexes.
  Table TOTO has got 0 indexes.

  Not possible... and it seems that you do not fully understand the client-server in the context of Oracle.

  All SQL and PL/SQL are parsed and executed by an Oracle server process. Engines SQL and PL/SQL is expecting a single command at a time block. Any of these can accept a series of commands in a single call and then runs them in turn. The SQL engine expects a single SQL statement at a time. PL engine provides an anonymous PL/SQL block for both.

  This server process can not also enter the local file system to access the script files. Nor can he hack it on the network to access the script on the client files.

  So that the server process to access local files, a Directory object must be created and the current Oracle schema must read or a write access to this directory object. Sound security principles apply.

  There is no PL/SQL command to run a script. Do not confuse SQL * more (this customer has a very limited vocabulary) orders with PL/SQL commands. SQL * Plus runs its own orders... and send SQL and PL/SQL commands (a statement block a time) either repaired and running Oracle server process.

  It's also a very bad idea to run the external script content from within an Oracle server process - as this script resides outside and so outside the Oracle security mechanisms. This means that it is fairly easy for a person to access this script, compromise and then you inject and execute the contents of this script in the database.

  It is not good security.

  Latest issue - it's even worse to have the PL/SQL application dynamically create (or try to create) parts of the Oracle data dictionary and calling PL/SQL interface.

  The database must be installed correctly - and that includes loading and execution of the required rdbms/admin scripts during installation. It makes no sense at all for the application code to try to run these scripts. It raises many questions, including getting to allow the full application and full SYS code access to the instance database. A very serious breach of security.

  I agree at all with the approach to use.
