You can enter them directly at the SQL prompt or you can store them in
database or keep them in files and run them with the @ command.
 
The choice is yours :O)

RE: OFF TOPIC: Jedis, etc - was Top 10....

2003-02-25 Thread Thomas, Kevin
Actually Peter,

This came under the category of No Religion which had 9+ million people in
it
(15.5% of respondents, see below).

About sixteen per cent of the UK population stated that they had no
religion. This category included agnostics, atheists, heathens and those who
wrote Jedi Knight. 

And there is no such thing as an 'unofficial' religion. It's just whether
people recognise it or not.

Not true.  This isn't a list for urban myths - if you're going to go
off-topic, you could at least do it accurately. :-)

http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=293

Sikh - 336,000 people.
Jewish - 267,000 people.
Buddhist - 152,000 people.

Jedi was classified under 'Other religion' along with Druidism, Satanism,
Wicca, Pagan, Freethinker, etc, etc.  The total for ALL these was only
179,000.

Of course, Jedi only got as many 'votes' as it did because of a spoof email
which tried to convince people that it would make it into an 'official'
religion.  Which is, of course, complete twaddle!

 Laugh you may, but in the last UK census (not a poll mind you

 national census) 400,000 people indicated their religion was 
 Jedi. This
 was more than put their religion as Sikh, Jewish or Buddhist.

Damn funny! I agree that there's no such thing as an unofficial religion
but surely there is nobody (excepting the heavily medicated and chronically

Hello, 

I was just asked by one of our developers which is beter to use:- 
a cursor or a for loop? 
I must admit I am not sure 

Anyway the specific piece of code in discussion is similar to the
following 
   
FOR X IN (SELECT X FROM TABLE_NAME 
WHERE COL1 = 'Something')) 
LOOP 
Do a whole lot of stuff in database here.. 
LOOP END; 

I would guess that the cursor would follow similar execution criteria but
using 
the cursor syntax. 

Any ideas?

RE: Borderline OT - Unix for Oracle at home

I am looking to add a unix box to my collection of wintel machines at home.
It will be used solely for running/testing Oracle, so I don't need bells 
whistles. My thoughts are either Linux/intel or Sun Ultra workstation. While
it would be convenient to be able to network it into a DSL configuration, it
is not essential. My original thought was a Linux desktop, but I can also
get Ultra 5 or 10 workstations on ebay for less than $500.
 
Anyone having experience good/bad/ugly for this type of task? All tips,

Hi All,

We need to execute some unix commands from PL/SQL code of a trigger?

Can I do this just by using host command?


host /usr/ucb/mail -s PROD_DB_DOWN [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
/user/oracle/log/db_down_prod.lst

Is there any other way to do this?

Thanks,

RE: Host System Commands from PL/SQL blocks

2002-07-31 Thread Thomas, Kevin

I sent a mail in a while ago that explains how to set up a polling C Shell
script that accepts Unix commands coming across a DBMS_PIPE.

Essentially, the shell script sits in an infinite loop polling the DBMS_PIPE
and taking commands from it, executing them, and then re-runs itself. It can
be stopped by passing a command such as SHUTDOWN through the pipe.

If you want me to send on the code, drop me a note.

Ross,

You are hitting a couple of problems here:

1 - the 'tail' command needs to be on your first line (sqlplus / EOF |
tail -1)

2.  However,  I suspect this will not give you what you want as sqlplus
prints a blank line at the end.  Try the following:

sqlplus -s /  EOF | grep -v ^$ | sed -n '$p
select sysdate from dual;
exit
EOF

Grep will remove blank lines - sed will print last line.  I'm sure there are
many more ways of doing this.

HTH,

Chris

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L



With the addition of the extra quote...this worked fine for me.  Kevin, 
try running it using the korn shell ( ksh instead of sh - bourne shell). 

If you're just trying to grab the date, though, I'd do it like this: 

#!/bin/ksh 
THE_DATE=`sqlplus -s / EOF 
set heading off 
set pagesize 0 
select sysdate from dual; 
exit 
EOF` 

echo $THE_DATE 

If you really want the last line, maybe sysdate was just for kicks, you
could spool 
a file before the select, spool off after it, then do a tail -1 on the spool
file 
followed by cleaning it up OR leave it around (i.e. remove the file at the
start, 
rather than at the end) until the next run just in case you 
have problems you can always go back to see what was there the last time it
was run.

RE: bind vars change explain plan

2002-07-22 Thread Thomas, Kevin

Your colleague hit the nail on the head.

Using bind variables in queries can give the database a hit or miss
approach to
whether or not it uses indexes. Something to do with how skewed the indexes
are also.

prem.
Never did get an answer to this question.  I don't know why using bind
variables changed the execution path.  My best guess comes from the
developer.  She thinks that when we supplied the values, the optimizer knew
what the range of values would be, and could therefore determine to use the
index.  With the bind variable, the optimizer did not have a range of values
to work with and therefore did not choose the index in the execution path.

I have no knowledge that using bind variables will suppress indexes.  Just
happened that it did in this case.
Also keep in mind that this particular database is using an old version of
Oracle (7.3.4).  Optimizer got much better in version 8.

The list helped me out with a work-around, which was to index-hint the index
I wanted.

Bind variables are definitely good guys.  I highly recommend you continue
with your code changes to include binds.

Good luck.

 Eric,
 
 A 5th-grade teacher once admonished me on cursing by
 pointing out that the English language has 100,000 words in
 frequent usage and how unimaginative it was to constrain
 myself to the same dozen or so words to describe my
 feelings...
 
 Bruce, the guy who runs FATCITY as a sideline business
 (because this business doesn't generate enough money to
 support the typical family), restricts all attachments not
 only out of concern for viruses, but for the more practical
 reason of limiting message size and therefore storage and
 network capacity.  It's a good policy -- if you'd like to
 send attachments, please address people directly...
 
 ...and please grow up.
 
 -Tim
 
  I don't know if this guy (Evans, David) is subscribed to
  this list,  but if so, please tell your email admin that
  this stuff sucks. 
  A text file attachment is not automatically equivalent to
  a virus  attachment.
  
  If their system wasn't set up by such dikheads, they would
  know  that they can implement packet scanning at the email
  gateway in a  non-intrusive manner that is far more
  effective than this spam  cr*pola.

Hallo,

I have a package which includes 5 different procedures. I would like an
exception which tells me an error message if any  of the procedures fail.

So if procedure 1 fails I would get an error message or if procedure number
2 would fail, or proc number 3 e tc then I would get an error message, which
tells me which procedure that fails. I tried this, but didnt work. Just give
me an easy example
on this.   I tried to look it up in the manual but didnt get it work.

Should I put the exception after each  procedureis finished.

Like this: And should  I name the exceptions in different ways, for instance
givethem the names EXCEPTIONS1, EXCEPTIONS2 etc.

p1

p2

p3

p4

p5

One certain company (to remain nameless) is asking employees to obtain

uses Brainbench assessment tests for pre-employment screening.  So there
are certain employers taking advantage of Brainbench.  But otherwise, I
haven't found my Brainbench certifications to have much meaning to

Hi ,

this is puzzling me..

i have following table

table name = Sierras.
Columns =
regno,
platfrom,
cost ,
licence_ref
renewal_data

i split this table up into 2:

1. Softwares
cols=
id,
regno,
platfrom,

2. Licences
id,
cost ,
licence_ref,
renewal_data,

i have a third table, a link table between softwares and licences

cols=
id,
licence_id,
software_id
i want to populate this table with the ids from softwares and licences, so
that if joined together 1 row would reflect a row in the old table sierras.
What query can i write for this??

hope all that makes sense!

regards
IA

Sameer,

What op system are you running with? There is a utility that was posted a
few days ago by me that allows you to run any os command from pl/sql as well
as sqlplus. I'll try and find the original email I sent out.

RE: sending email via pl/ sql using query

2002-02-01 Thread Thomas, Kevin

Suhen,
 
You should be able to pass in the values returned from your query as a
'variable' to the utl_smtp.write_data command. I've used an example from the
asktom.oracle.com website (
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:457115::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F
4950_P8_CRITERIA:2118740358226,%7Butl_smtp%7D
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:457115::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,
F4950_P8_CRITERIA:2118740358226,%7Butl_smtp%7D ) and added my own bits to
it. Hopefully it makes sense, if not try the website...for more info. 
 
So for example:
create or replace procedure send_mail
as
   CURSOR c_query
  SELECT data
FROM table;

   l_mailhost varchar2(255) := '10.228.1.75' ;
   l_mail_conn utl_smtp.connection ;
   l_message VARCHAR2(n) := 'This mail has been automatically generated
by...';  -- for example

begin
 
   -- Open the cursor in a for loop
  -- this enables you to build up your l_message variable
  -- to contain all the data you want to send.
  -- Of course, you can add more in to this to add static information
  -- such as l_message could initially contain an opening line like
  -- 'This mail has been automatically generated by...' and then
  -- you just build up the rest of the message like so, below...I think!
  --
   FOR r_query IN c_query LOOP
 
  l_message := l_message || CHR(13) || r_query.data_element;
 
  END LOOP;

   l_mail_conn := utl_smtp.open_connection(l_mailhost, 25) ;
   utl_smtp.helo(l_mail_conn, l_mailhost) ;
   utl_smtp.mail(l_mail_conn, p_sender) ;
   utl_smtp.rcpt(l_mail_conn, p_recipient ) ;
   utl_smtp.open_data(l_mail_conn) ;
   utl_smtp.write_data(l_mail_conn, p_message ) ;
   utl_smtp.close_data(l_mail_conn) ;
   utl_smtp.quit(l_mail_conn );
   dbms_output.put_line('Message send to the user successfully') ;
end ;
 
 
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Kev.

List,

 

I am trying to send email from Oracle when a table is updated.

The message must be a dynamic one, so hard coded message will not be
allowed.

 

I have created a trigger when the table is updated - that works

I am using UTL_SMTP to send emails. -  that works

However this procedure (send_mail) only has hard-coded messages. - I need it
to be a dynamic message, from a query which I already have.

The query will return more than 1 row.

 

- So the trigger executes when a column is updated.

- A query would be executed giving the required information to be mailed.

- email program must kick off, emailing the results of the above query.

 

Any ideas how to do this.

 

Thanks  Regards

Suhen

Yes it is possible, I have got a piece of code that I got from the site
asktom.oracle.com, that allows you to send Unix commands to the shell from

to make the call within?

If it is, give me a shout and I'll let you have the code...

I'm a complete newbie, so I may be off-base here, but I believe that
truncating a table does not delete any data from the table.  It moves the
cursor up, thereby closing up the empty space where data has previously
been deleted.

To our resident Oracle Expert who just 6 months (July 26 2001) ago posted
the following e-mail


If I remember rightly, deleting rows from the table does NOT free up
tablespace. In order to do that you have to trunctate the table (although
this of course deletes all data from the table)...I can't for the life of me
remember how you adjust the space the table is actually using after doing a
delete...(to everyone else) would an analyze work?

 Why do you bother being on this List: The list is here to help fellow
 DBA'S. Have you never said to one of your collegues , what is the format
of
 this command, or how can I do that, when you simply cant be bothered to
 look it up in the manual (either your busy or just down right lazy):
 Sometimes this list is useful for just that. So why dont u lighten up
dude.

 the time to filter these questions - we are all busy people and I
 personally do not want to use my time in this way.  I'm sure you can see
 that this is a much more expensive option than asking the person next to

RE: SQL Loader error

2002-01-30 Thread Thomas, Kevin


If I remember right, SQL*LOADER has (or used to have) a maximum field size
of 256 characters. This can be overcome by specifying the size you want to
load like:

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'sierras.dat'
INTO TABLE ia_test
trailing nullcols
(  SWREGNOterminated by ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '',
   comments CHAR(xxx) terminated by ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY ''
)

Where xxx is the size of the field in the table you are trying to load into.

Kev.

The problem is that if you always ask the group for help, you never learn
where the information is within the manuals or other reference documentation
and the group also gets cluttered with trivia.

I agree with you that the list is here to help people and I personally do
not mind the odd naive question from a new DBA, but it is the ...can't be
bothered to look up the manual.. attitude that is most frustrating.  When
you ask the format of a command (for example) to the list, you are
potentionally asking 1000's of people the same question who will all have to
spend the time to filter these questions - we are all busy people and I
personally do not want to use my time in this way.  I'm sure you can see
that this is a much more expensive option than asking the person next to
you.

Craig.

Roland,

Besides reading the manuals, take a look at www.lazydba.com.  They also
host an Oracle email list that might be a more appropriate forum for
your questions.  I think they have a higher ratio of new DBAs on their
list, and seldom mind answering the beginner questions.

HTH,

Anybody can ask me a simple question when they are looking for a quick

RE: RTFM questions (formally RE: PL/SQL)

2002-01-29 Thread Thomas, Kevin

Seriously though...
 
You would of course get as much help as the next person here and I don't
think it's out of place for me to say that newbies are always welcome! But
it starts to get ridiculous when a poster continually posts questions that
can be found on websites similar to your own without having to a) bother
writing an email and b) waiting on a reply. The number of posts that can
come from one person and be classed as just newbie questions, is finite,
after a period of time, that individual can no longer be classed as a
newbie! PLUS the fact that we more or less write the goddam applications for
these people, why don't they just hire us!!!???

No offense to anybody, but I think this is rather arrogant.  The list is for
anybody (unless the list owner decides it's just for experienced dba's). I
am brand new to Oracle, having just started learning it this week.  I can
easily foresee having what some might consider stupid or RTFM questions, and
being possibly unable to find the answer or having problems deciphering the
manual.  I myself am somewhat of a Word pro (and my vba code samples page is
the #1 ranked site of its kind on most major search engines) and I help all
kinds of newbies out on a Word list of which I am a member, as do all the
other members of the list.  Everybody on that list is extremely gracious and
nobody complains -- and the people with questions get the help they need,
with nobody sitting back going boy are you stupid / lazy.  I am hoping
that I can get the same kind of help here, when I am ready for it, that I
and others give on other lists.

The problem is that if you always ask the group for help, you never learn
where the information is within the manuals or other reference documentation
and the group also gets cluttered with trivia.

I agree with you that the list is here to help people and I personally do
not mind the odd naive question from a new DBA, but it is the ...can't be
bothered to look up the manual.. attitude that is most frustrating.  When
you ask the format of a command (for example) to the list, you are
potentionally asking 1000's of people the same question who will all have to
spend the time to filter these questions - we are all busy people and I
personally do not want to use my time in this way.  I'm sure you can see
that this is a much more expensive option than asking the person next to
you.

Why do you bother being on this List: The list is here to help fellow 
DBA'S. Have you never said to one of your collegues , what is the format of 
this command, or how can I do that, when you simply cant be bothered to 
look it up in the manual (either your busy or just down right lazy): 
Sometimes this list is useful for just that. So why dont u lighten up dude.

RE: Pl/sql question

Hi Roland,

Best way to do this is just set some variables at the start of your code:

l_proc_start := sysdate;
l_proc_name  := 'proc_name';

begin

  ...commands...

exception

  when exception then
l_proc_end := sysdate;

  SELECT count(*)

  INSERT INTO error_table

Yea more elegant if you happen to be running Oracle 8.something which

Just a note

Inserting in an error table in the excpetion clause is a common problem
because
if something goes wrong and exception was thrown then You usually don't
want commit
But You cannot insert ereror record without commit
So in ancient times there was dbms_pipe etc. Since 8.something You can
use autonomous transactions instead, I think it is more elegant solution

RE: Unix - script

2002-01-09 Thread Thomas, Kevin

Roland,

Try this by setting up environment variables at the top of your script:

SERVER1= 10.10.10.10
USER1= 'xxx'
PWD1= 'xxx'
SERVER2= 10.10.10.20
USER1= 'yyy'
PWD2= ''

Then have this:

ftp -i -n  EOF
open $SERVER1
user $USER1  $PWD1
cd scripts
get file
close
EOF

You can then have a section like the one below if you want to copy to a
different server
other than the one you are running this script from:

ftp -i -n  EOF
open $SERVER2
user $USER2  $PWD2
cd scripts
put file
close
EOF

Both of these can be included in the one shell script.

Hope that helps.
Kev.

Roland,

Try this by setting up environment variables at the top of your script:

SERVER1= 10.10.10.10
USER1= 'xxx'
PWD1= 'xxx'
SERVER2= 10.10.10.20
USER1= 'yyy'
PWD2= ''

Then have this:

ftp -i -n  EOF
open $SERVER1
user $USER1  $PWD1
cd scripts
get file
close
EOF

You can then have a section like the one below if you want to copy to a
different server
other than the one you are running this script from:

ftp -i -n  EOF
open $SERVER2
user $USER2  $PWD2
cd scripts
put file
close
EOF

Both of these can be included in the one shell script.

Hope that helps.
Kev.

RE: java stored procedures and running rsh command

2002-01-09 Thread Thomas, Kevin

Kimberly,

What is the format for the .rhosts file? I'm actually trying to work on
something right as we speak.

If I remember correctly the file gets stored on the server that you want to
connect to and the contents are just: ip  username
where username is the name that you are logged in as on the server your
COMING from if that makes any sense. Is this correct?

Cheers,
Kev.

You know, rsh is actually considered bad practice for security

so that I can use it;-)  But I have been on sites that will not
allow it.

I have been using the run_cmd code posted on the askTom site to run Unix
commands from stored procedures. It works fine. However I am now trying to
run a rsh command and always get 'permission denied' errors from the rsh
commmand.

The rsh command works fine when I run it from the command line(as oracle),
or from a C external procedure, but not from RUN_CMD.  

Do I need to do something extra in java to enable running of rsh command?

Hi Dick,

My opinion on this tool is extremely high - considering it is in fact not a
competitor, but one of the tools we sell :)

You won't find it listed on our web site, though it's sister tool
(SQLExpert) is listed. My personal opinion is that there is no other tool in
the market place that can rival what SQL/DBExpert can provide! Even *after*
looking at the competition in depth at the UKOUG on Monday.

To give you an idea of what it does:

Harvest your SQL / PL/SQL code from the system you are interested in (either
from memory, source code, binary files etc.. through a scan or SQL monitor)
then submit it to the optimisation engine - which will re-write the SQL
statement in as many, semantically equivalent, statements as is possible to
return the same output. It will then scan this new set of statements, and
show you all of those with alternate execution plans, run them through a
batch process to find those with better response/elapsed times, and bingo
you have a fully tuned statement. No other tool in the market will actually
do this - they add the major hints and alike, and tell you to analyse, or
create indexes etc.. I've seen SQLExpert take a SQL statement that did a
select from a view, rewrite the view in to the actual statement against the
underlying tables, and come back with a 40-45% improvement on response
times!

It also handles PL/SQL debugging, stored outlines etc. It's priced on a per
client basis, so you don't have to buy a license for every instance/server
that you want to tune, and it's easy to install and use.

To sum up - if you want a SQL *optimisation* tool, then go with
SQL/DBExpert! We only sell what we consider to be best of breed tools that
are in the market place, as long as they are easy to install/use, and
reasonably priced. SQLExpert fitted the bill for us, and it is going down
VERY well in the UK market place!

There is plenty of info on both leccotech.com, and cool-tools.co.uk for the
tools, but if you want any further info, give me a shout direct and I'll see
if I can answer any further questions that you have.

Regards

Mark

 Hello DBAs,

 I'm having a company holiday party today, and as you all may know my
company
 employs mostly DBAs. (Pythian is an Oracle DBA Outsourcing shop.)

 I'm thinking of having a DBA Weakest Link game for fun at some point of
 the evening. Yes, I know, the partners/husbands/wives will think it's a
bit
 of a bore, but imagine the fun for us DBAs! :-)

 So what I'm trying to do is get many, many weakest link-style questions
 (with answers) ready. I want them mostly to be easy, but with the odd hard
 one snuck in for unfairness. Please help out by submitting your questions,
 and I'll summarize and post the complete list back to the list when I'm
 done!

 Sound like fun? I'll get us started with a format.

 Q: Name the Oracle error for Table or view does not exist?
 A: Ora-00942, 942

 Q: Which of the following return a value? Procedure, Function, Package,
 Index?
 A: Function

 Q: In what version of Oracle did the cursor sharing feature become
 available? 7.3, 8.0, or 8.1?
 A: 8.1

 Q: In Oracle, the function that averages values is called: Average, or
AVG?
 A: AVG.

 Q: The structure Oracle uses to protect a region from memory from
concurrent
 access is called: Lock, Latch, or Library Catch?
 Q: Latch

 Q: Larger block sizes make more efficient use of the buffer cache, or less
 efficient?
 A: Less efficient.

 I'd like to get at least a hundred ready for the game, preferably more.
 Thanks for your help!

RE: Unix mailing List

2001-12-05 Thread Thomas, Kevin

I think what you want to do is

if [ -d $FILENAME ] then
  echo the file exists
else
  echo file not found
fi

$FILENAME is a variable holding the name of the file you are looking for.
You can assign a value to it by doing:

FILENAME='/tmp/myfile.txt'

before the if statement.

RE: UTL_FILE_DIR problem

2001-12-03 Thread Thomas, Kevin

if I set UTL_FILE_DIR = *
would there be any security issue ?

In a word yes...this allows read/write access to *all* directories and there
is bound to be particular ones you don't want people to see.



-Original Message-

Hi all,

I got one problem about UTL_FILE_DIR.
My oracle version is 8i 8.1.6
Platform is unix sun solaris.

I have set UTL_FILE_DIR to : /customer/ShopA
and I write PL/SQL code to write a log file (A.txt )into /customer/ShopA
When I execute the PL/SQL job through SQLPLUS,
I hit error message saying that I can't write to the directory.
the /customer/ShopA directory permission is  set to 664.
Let's say owner is A, and the group is A1

Can I tell the program to access the directory and write to the file as
another user ?
If I'm not wrong, the program will try to write into the directory using
oracle unix account.
Note : I don't want to set the write permission to other group.
I have tried to include oracle in A1 group using secondary group, but it
couldn't work.

Can somebody tell me how to let oracle write into the directory and the file
as well without
changing the directory / file permission.

if I set UTL_FILE_DIR = *
would there be any security issue ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks  Regards
Herman

Thanks David, and everyone else for all your help.

Unfortunately, I've done all this, specifying the variables etc and it still
doesn't appear to like it much! I don't know whether it's because it's
written in the CSH and not for KSH...I'll keep looking.

Thanks again,

Thomas,

I got called to task before on this, but I didn't save the note, so whoever
corrected me, please do so again.  In any case, cron jobs in UNIX are (and
this is where I was corrected - although what follows should solve your
problem) executed by root.  This is why Mike suggested running the .profile
to properly set up the environment to find and execute sqlplus.  The user
who owns the cron job is invoked by root without all the proper
environmental variables set.  As an alternative you can explicitly set your
variables at the beginning of the shell script as follows (for ksh):

#!/bin/ksh

export ORACLE_SID=ifas
export ORACLE_HOME=/u001/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
export PATH=$PATH:/u001/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin
export ORACLE_BASE=/u001/app/oracle
export HOME=$ORACLE_HOME
cd $HOME

Hope this helps.

RE: Longest SQL statements!!!

2001-11-29 Thread Thomas, Kevin

I would have just thought that it would be exceptionally inefficient and
more practical to divide it into chunks or procedures. More easily
maintained etc.

-Original Message-

Are there any implications on how long the SQL statement is? The current SQL

statements that I am inheritting, is really long. tons of embedded sub 
queries etc.

My first question is are there any known issues with haveing very long SQL 
statements and if yes what has been a good length other than the fact that 
it may depend on your SGA.

Hi Roland,

Try using the DECODE statement rather than TRANSLATE:

BUT_OMS  DECODE(:BUT_OMS, '!','99','?','No Info',:BUT_OMS),

The above says:

Ifthe value of BUT_OMS='!', change it to '99',
elsif the value of BUT_OMS='?', change it to 'No Info',
else
  insert the value provided.

Hope this helps

RE: OT : linux flavors

2001-11-09 Thread Thomas, Kevin

I have to say I use Redhat 7.0 and apart from being a tad over-engineered
it's relatively simple to setup. The only problem I encountered was getting
the X environment setup (LCD monitor with GeForce card). You get a lot for
your money with RedHat and plenty of training courses too. (Although you pay
for that through the nose if you go to RedHat!!)...

Ah but Kevin, that info stays around even if they are not running the

look for sql that references the tables that have the reporting data in
them.

There is a way of changing the prompt when doing a connect, however it's
done by running a script called connect. 
 
So instead of the usual:
 
 SQL connect user/pass@sid 
 
You would do:
 
SQL @connect user/pass@sid
 
Try this URL:

Asunto: RE: Instance Name in Sql Prompt


Ramon;
  In your startup directory on SQL Plus, you can automatically run a script
that will setup the environment like you want it.  Its called LOGIN.SQL.
 
Here is a copy of mine:
 
set termout on
set pagesize 0
set echo off
set feedback off
set sqlprompt ''
spool c:\temp.sql
select 'set sqlprompt '''||name||'  '';' from v$database;
spool off
@c:\temp.sql
set pagesize 35
set feedback on
set termout off

What this does is to take the name of the database from v$database and
create a temporary SQL file, then runs it.  This will set my prompt to 
 
INSTANCE_NAME  
 
where INSTANCE_NAME is the name of the database.
 
For example, if I log onto DEV then the SQLPROMPT will be
 
DEV  
 
Hope you can use it.
 
Kevin
 
p.s. ...  Remember that  this only works for the initialization of SQL Plus.
If you do a connect inside of your session then the prompt will not change.

RE: Oracle Reports....

2001-10-26 Thread Thomas, Kevin

Mark,

Yip, this sounds like a plan. As I mentioned earlier though, I don't want to
awaken the Kracken! So being sneaky and trying to get the reports is key. As
they are the client, I don't actually have access to any of there servers
that they hold the reports on, or acccess to PVCS (not that I think they
would actually have them in PVCS!!).

Kevin,

Can you not log in as a user yourself and run the reports that you are
interested in, then trace your own session to see what SQL is being
executed?

What I would do:

1) As the report user, run the report you are interested in.
2a) Do a select from v$sqlarea/v$sqltext/v$session to get the SQL for your
particular session.
2b) set a SQL trace up for your own session, and record what order you ran
the reports in, and try to match this up with the SQL in your trace file.

Think this will work?

Thanks Rachel,

I'll check these tables to see what dets they hold. The problem I have is
that I can't phone the user and say are you running that report, because
they have a big nasty lady who will come and bite my head off if she thinks
we're actually trying to help!!

 Our client is running some Oracle Reports (v2.5) that are killing our

 less than 2%!!! Guess what, it get's better, they don't have the

RE: Oracle Reports....

Thanks Amar,
 
I was afraid of that. I'm not too concerned with getting the report from
.REP to .RDF, but being able to get any of the query information out of the
.REP would be a good start.

Not having the source code is a handycap situation. 
If you don't have .RDF, the executable .REP will not be of much help. 
Afaik, converting .REP to .RDF is not possible. 

So the only solution as I see it is rebuilding the concerned reports!

RE: Instance Name in Sql Prompt

Hi Ramon,
 
You could put this into your login.sql script if you have one. This will
automatically take your login name and database and set your sqlprompt
accordingly.
 
col user_name new_value user_name
col db_name new_value db_name
select lower(user) user_name, 
   ltrim(rtrim(lower(global_name))) db_name 
from global_name;
set sqlprompt user_name@db_name

RE: Code to Validate email addresses

Quite tricky this one...I would imagine there will be a few combinations for
valid email addresses, you could try looking at the World Wide Web

Hi,

We have implemented a form that emails reports.  The user has to enter his
email address.

However, we are finding that a lot of users are entering incorrect and
invalid email addresses.

Obviously, we can do nothing if they enter an incorrect (but syntactically
correct) email address.

What I am looking for is:

1) A definition of the syntactically correct format of an email address
(from some sort of authoritative source)

2) Hopefully some pl/sql code that will validate a sting to see if it is a
valid email address.

If anyone can assist, I would appreciate it!

RE: Output to Excel

2001-10-05 Thread Thomas, Kevin

Ramon,

I would add an alias onto the columns you are referencing in your cursors so
that they are called something like DATA. This way when you come to
reference FT later on you can use FT.DATA as the item to ouput to your file.

You appear to be referencing OUT_REC at line 65 incorrectly. OUT_REC is a
record containing items of data. As you have opened the cursor on line 63
with the statement FOR FT IN C_FACTURAS, you have now assigned all the
values that will be returned from the cursors into FT. In order to output
the details that are now held within FT, line 65 should read something like:

UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(V_ARCHIVO, FT.DATA);
You really don't need OUT_REC anymore as you never move data into it.

I hope this makes sense, I'm never very good at explaining things... ;o)

Regards,
Kev.

  I have a question concerning the init.ora file and using the supplied
  package UTL_FILE
 
  I am finding it a real inconvenience to bounce the database everytime I
 need
  to add a UTL_FILE directory, especially on the development machine.
Since
  the coding is very dynamic and many people are developing on the same
  database, when I add a UTL_FILE directory, I need to notify everyone
  involved, have them stop what they are doing and bounce the database...
 yuk!
 
  Is there any possible way to add UTL_FILE directories on the fly without
  bouncing the database (alter session, alter system, etc) and then at
a
  more convenient time add all of the changes at once to the init.ora file
 and
  bounce the database once.
 
  Any suggestions would be useful.
