Thanks Stephan,
Your suggestion had motivated me and I wrote the code,
after RTFM.
Sameer,
I didn't scheduled the job on OS because this should an Oracle Job,
log switching has nothing to do with OS (you don't trouble a company
GM when the work should be done by a Normal Manager right??).
And you need to handle the error conditions of OS when your
DB is down, which is eliminated in this case.
Any-way thanks to all,
Rajesh
And-yes, the code is like this:
create or replace PROCEDURE SWITCH1 IS
c number;
d number;
begin
c := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse(c, 'alter system switch logfile', 1);
d := dbms_sql.execute(c);
dbms_sql.close_cursor(c);
commit ;
END;

Look in the doc for the dbms_sql package. Hardly more complicated than
'execute immediate' for DDL (you declare a handler for the cursor, then
it's done in two calls, parse and execute).
