sqlplus -s £ORA_LOGIN/£ORA_PASSWORD #./sql/getsess.sql £FEED > £FEED.lst
This is the command in a shell script. Can anyone please tell me what is this doing? because i have no knowledge about the sqlplus command
This command runs the script ./sql/getsess.sql providing the value £FEED as parameter and using the credentials £ORA_LOGIN/£ORA_PASSWORD to login. It will store the output from the call to SQLPlus in the file named £FEED.lst.
Note that SQLPlus is invoked in silent mode (parameter -S), so most of the output will not be seen in the output file.

On RHEL 7, I am trying to access a SQL table. When I run the code from terminal I can access the database and the script runs as expected. When I run the same script from crontab I get an error:
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
SP2-0667: Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
Here is my code:
getSequence()
{
SQLPLUS=/oracle/app/oracle/product/12c/bin/sqlplus
seq_num=$($SQLPLUS -S $OPS_DB_USER/$OPS_DB_ORACLE_PASSWD<<-EOF
set heading off
set feedback off
select Sequence.nextval from dual;
EOF)
VERSION=`printf "%07d" $seq_num`
}
If the script runs as expected. Make sure the permissions are set correctly on the script so when the cron runs it has the correct permissions to execute the script. Double check your environment variables as well. Here is an example of how I call a proc using a bash script. Hope this helps.
#!/bin/bash
sqlplus -s <<%%
$DBLOG/$DBPWD#$ORACLE_SID
exec "my_proc"();
exit
%%
Is there a way through which i can execute SQL query in SQL Developer/TOAD and extract the result in any format using .bat file.
I m working on a client machine so using any other software other than SQL Developer/TOAD is not a option.
Please suggest how to create a bat file for the same.
If SQL Developer is installed I venture to guess so is SQL Plus. SQL Developer is simply a graphic interface to the database connections. Try opening a command window, I assume you can since you would like to run .bat programs, and typing in sqlplus. If this comes back with version numbers and a prompt for a user name you should be able to use this for your script.
See this answer on Stack Overflow for more tips on how to run .bat programs from SQL Plus with native SQL Plus spooling.
What version of Toad? If the version of Toad you have has the Automation Designer then you can setup an action to export query results to many different formats. See my answer in this question for steps to export query results to XLS. In step #3 you can choose other formats. Your configured actions can be scheduled or executed by .bat file. Toad's help covers command line execution of these actions.
You can put the following types of sqlcmd statements into a batch file. After running the results are saved to a txt file. This example executes a SQL file already created and saves the results to a txt file.
Step 1: Create SQL file which you want to execute.
Step 2: Execute following sqlcmd command on prompt:
sqlcmd -i SQLFile.sql -S ServerLocation -E -o File.txt
If you are using username and password run following script
sqlcmd -i SQLFile.sql -S localhost -U username -P password -o File.txt
You can run something like this for SQL plus:
sqlplus user/pwd#mydb #SQLFile.sql > File.txt
I want to automate the export process which I take using expdp command in Oracle.
Following is the contents of batch file I have created to open PuTTY.
#echo off
"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe" username#Ip_Addr -pw password -m Open_Putty.txt`
Following is the contents of Open_Putty.txt to execute different commands.
echo $ORACLE_SID;
Read oraenv;
But after opening Open_Putty.bat it disappears without showing any output.
Please help me with this. I want to set oraenv and run some more commands to take the backup.
It's unlikely that plink.exe disappears without showing any output. I assume you execute the batch file from a Windows Explorer or other GUI application, so the Plink console window disappears once Plink finishes (possibly with error) and you cannot read the output (error).
Make sure you execute plink.exe from a console window (typically a cmd.exe) or add pause command to the end of the batch.
Make sure Plink can find the script file (Open_Putty.txt). As you do not specify a path to the file, it has to be located in your current working directory. Safer is to use a full path to the script file:
"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe" username#Ip_Addr -pw password -m "C:\path\Open_Putty.txt"
The backtick symbol at the end of the command should probably not be there.
The name "Open PuTTY" is bit confusing. You are not using PuTTY at all. And even if you refer to Plink by "PuTTY", your script file (Open_Putty.txt) is not opening PuTTY nor Plink. It's executing remote commands. So you should better name it export.txt or similar.
I deploy some .bteq and .sql scripts on a TERADATA database. For doing this, I use a client on my desktop called BTEQWin version 13.10.0.03.
I get the .bteq/.sql from a version control like pvcs/svn etc and all I do once the files are in my workspace folder (from Version control tool), to just drag and drop the files from Windows browser to BTEQWin client (which I connect to a database prior to drag/drop for running those scripts).
Now, I have to automate this whole process in UNIX.
I have written a SHELL KSH/BASH script which is getting all the .bteq/.sql from a TAG/LABEL in the version control tool to a given UNIX folder. Now, all I need to do is the pass these files one by one (i'll take care of the order) to Teradata client.
My ?
- what client do I need to tell Unix admin team to install on Unix server - so that I can run something like below:
someTeraDataCommand -u username -p password -h hostname -d database -f filenametoexectue | tee output_filename.log
Where, someTeraDataCommand is the client / executable - which will let me run Teradata scripts (like I was doing using BTEQWin on my desktop - GUI session). Other parameters can be username, password, which database to connect on what server and which file to run or make that file passed to the command using "<" operator at command line.
Any idea?
- What client ?
Assuming the complete Teradata Tools and Utilities package is installed on your UNIX server (which will have the connectivity tools to talk to Teradata), you should have access to bteq from the command line. Something like this:
bteq < script_file > output_file
Your script file should contain a .LOGON statement to establish the connection:
.LOGON yourTDPID/your_account,your_pw
You might also need to use other commands to set your default database or non-default session values.
Another option would be to combine the SQL and call to BTEQ in a Korn shell script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
##############
SHELL_NAME=`basename $0`
PRG_NAME=`basename $(SHELL_NAME} .ksh`
LOG_FILE=${PRG_NAME}.log
OUT_FILE=${PRG_NAME}.out
#
bteq <<EOBTQ > ${LOG_FILE} 2>$1
.LOGON {TDPID}/{USERID},{PWD};
--.RUN file=${LOGON}
/* Add your SQL/BTEQ commands here */
.QUIT 0;
EOBTQ
Edit
The double hyphen indicates a single line comment. Typically in a UNIX script you do not leave your password in plain text of a KSH script. The .RUN command would reference a text file in a barely sufficient secure location containing the .LOGON {TPDID}/{USERID},{PWD}; command.
The .RUN command in BTEQ allows you to reference another text file containing a series of valid BTEQ commands that you want to run in the current BTEQ script.
Easiest way is to setup the Solaris TTU, is to request root sudo, and run an interactive installation into defaults as a root. That would cure all client issues.
I am running sql server 2008 express and i need to schedule some stored procedures to run nightly...so i have built out these .sql files which i would want to run from .bat file...i need to know the command to execute these .sql files one by one and store their results i guess...can anyone help me out?
I answered this in this other question:
You should invoke the sqlcmd command-line tool from your batch file. Assuming your sql file is "backup.sql", the command line would be something like:
sqlcmd -E -S yoursqlinstance -i backup.sql
-E uses trusted connection, replace with -U and -P if you need to specify a SQL username and password. See also this article with examples.
See the sqlcmd utility:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165702.aspx
This allows you to run sql scripts from the command line
osql:
http://www.di-mgt.com.au/osqlUtility.htm
I don't use SQL Server, but a batch file is just a list of DOS commands. So whatever you use to execute SQL files from the commandline can be used in a batch file.
A quick google search turns up:
sqlcmd -i <inputfile> -o <outputfile>
Hope this helps you :
sqlplus UserName/Password#DataBase #C:\sqlFolder\sqlFile.sql
P.S : Don't forget to add the command "commit;" at the end of sql file (sqlFile.sql), this command order Oracle to save performed changes in database
