I am running a file via batch file
Batch File:
sqlplus admin/admin#SERVER #abc.sql > output.txt
SQL File abc.sql:
set PAGESIZE 1000
set LINESIZE 550
set echo off
set head off
set FEEDBACK OFF
select * from S_ABC
exit;
Output.txt:
Connected To:
Oracle Database 11g................................
.
.
.
DATA

Disconnected from Oracle Database 11g .......
.
.
Please help me remove the extra data, in the starting and end of output.txt file.
-S seems to be what you're looking for;
sqlplus -S admin/admin#SERVER #abc.sql > output.txt
-S[ILENT]
Suppresses all SQL*Plus information and prompt messages, including the command prompt, the echoing of commands, and the banner normally displayed when you start SQL*Plus. If you omit username or password, SQL*Plus prompts for them, but the prompts are not visible. Use SILENT to invoke SQL*Plus within another program so that the use of SQL*Plus is invisible to the user.

I write shell script and want to use sqlplus, when I write:
#!/bin/bash
result=$(sqlplus -s user/pass#DB << EOF
set trimspool on;
set linesize 32000;
SET SPACE 0;
SELECT MAX(DNNCMNT_ANSWER_TIME) FROM TKIMEI.DNNCMNT_IMEI_APPRV;
/
exit;
EOF)
echo "$result"
the result is in txt file (I'm executing it as ksh sql.sh > result.txt):
MAX(DNNCM
---------
10-MAR-14
MAX(DNNCM
---------
10-MAR-14
it is automatically putting an empty line at the beginning of file and writing the result twice.
How can I fix it ?
Remove the slash. It's causing the previous command (the select) to be repeated:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a90842/ch13.htm#1006932
Also, talk to your DBA about setting up external OS authentication so you don't have to hardcode the password in a shell script for security reasons. Once set up, you can replace the login/password combo with just a slash:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25054_01/network.1111/e16543/authentication.htm#i1007520
I have a script db.bat as below:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (user.txt) do (
sqlplus -s %%A #fetch.sql >> output.txt
)
where user.txt (list of all user details for which I need expiry date. this list may have around 40-50 rows) is:
dbuser/password#database1
readuser/p#ssw0rd#database1
adminuser/Pa$$word#database2
.......
.......
.......
and fetch.sql is:
set pagesize 20
set linesize 200
select username, expiry_date from user_users;
exit;
The problem I am facing here is, whenevey my script db.bat encounters any SQL ERRORS like given below, its not moving further and getting hanged at that point until I manually stop that.
SQL ERRORs:
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
ERROR:
ORA-28000: the account is locked
I have checked that there is a WHENEVER SQLERROR command that works in this situation but don't know how I can use it here.
For those kinds of errors, SQL*Plus is 'hanging' at a username prompt, as it hasn't been able to connect. You don't see that because of the -s flag. By default it will allow three attempts, which is useful when running interactively, but isn't helpful when run from a script like this. You can make it exit after the failed login with the -l 'logon' option:
sqlplus -s -l %%A #fetch.sql >> output.txt
Try this, when using the fetch.sql in a script, you need to set the termout to off.
The error is still there, only that your script will continue to execute after it.
set pagesize 20
set linesize 200
whenever sqlerror continue
set termout off
select username, expiry_date from user_users;
exit;
I want to run a SQL code using shell script and return the message whether the SQL query executed successfully or not. For this I have used unix script given below.
#!/bin/sh
sqlplus -S hr/hr#xe<<EOF
#emp.sql
EOF
var1=$(cat /cygdrive/d/scripts/output.txt | grep -c 'COUNT')
if [ $var1 -ge 1 ];
then
echo "success"
else
echo "failure"
fi
exit;
and emp.sql(called sql file) as
SET ECHO OFF
SPOOL D:\scripts\output.txt
SET LINESIZE 100
SET PAGESIZE 50
SELECT count(*) FROM employees;
SPOOL OFF;
EXIT 0;
When I execute the script I am getting output as
COUNT(*)
----------
107
./script1.sh: line 13: syntax error: unexpected end of file.
I don't know where I should put EOF statement exactly. Also I am not getting the status message whether it is success or failure which I want as output. Please help. Thanks in advance
SPOOL D:\scripts\output.txt Isnt this windows way of referring to a file where as in the shell script you referred to the file as /cygdrive/d/scripts/output.txt. I assume you are using linux shell to execute so I executed your script changing the spool line in sql file. It worked fine.
Edit: Also the \ that you used, for the spooled output.txt path, will cause the sqlplus to terminate. Hence the error line 13: syntax error: unexpected end of file. Perhaps add quotes to the path or use the same file path as you used in shell
everyone!
I want to know what this line does:
sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!
From the information that you provided in the comments:
sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
Fires up an instance of sqlplus with silent mode enabled (which, I believe, doesn't send out any output to the console screen), and without a login explicitly provided (hence the /nolog), and it's taking input from the string contained in the EOF heredoc (which probably contains login credentials).
Here is a quick overview of Oracle's documentation on sqlplus.
From HERE:
-s The silent option: it suppreses the output of the SQL*Plus banner, the command prompt and the echoing of commands.
/nolog Starts SQL*Plus but does not log on (connect) a user/session.
So it seems that starts SQL*PLUS without logging on a user/session (nolog option) and don't display info (silent option).
The full excerpt should probably be:
sqlplus -s /nolog << ABCDE
CONNECT user/pwd#database
-- DO SQL AND PLSQL STUFF
EXIT
ABCDE
Which is similar to running sqlplus -s user/pwd#database #script.sql where script.sql contains the sql, plsql stuff and the exit command. The << syntax is shell operator for heredoc, which means all following lines are variable-expanded if ${variables} are found, and the first line beginning with ABCDE (at the very beginning of the line, no spaces, no tabs) ends the input.
I am using Solaris. I have to log into sql plus and run some queries, which give a huge result set.
I want to copy all that into a file. Is there any command for it in unix or sqlplus ?
Use the SPOOL command:
SQL> SPOOL /opt/output
SQL> SELECT ...
SQL> SPOOL OFF
setup Oracle environment
(there are ways around specifying username/password on the command line - not the best way especially when other users can 'ps' on the server and see your password)
sqlplus -s username/password <<-!!
set trimspool on trimout on pages 0 feedback off linesize 1000 echo off verify off
spool file.out
select sysdate from dual;
exit
!!
If you are on the command line then just use the > and 2> to redirect stdout and stderr respectively to log files
func > out.log
