How to execute plsql procedure in shell script? - shell

Question

So I created a procedure in plsql but I want to automatically execute it in shellscript. Like if I insert a table using csv file then the procedure will automatically run using unix shellscript. The software that I'm using is cygwin.

Answer 1

I'm on MS Windows and don't know Unix nor have I ever used Cygwin, which - as tag description says - is ...
... a collection of GNU and other Unix-like FOSS tools which run on MS Window
If I understand it correctly, you'd then
create a stored procedure (which does some job; mine just displays a message),
SQL (.sql) script which calls the stored procedure, and
MS DOS batch (.bat) script whose task is to establish connection to the database and call the previously mentioned .sql script
This is a procedure:
SQL> create or replace procedure p_test is
2 begin
3 dbms_output.put_line('Hello!');
4 end;
5 /
Procedure created.
SQL>
.SQL script (its name is run_proc.sql):
set serveroutput on
begin
p_test;
end;
/
exit;
MS DOS batch (.bat) script; its name is run_proc.bat:
sqlplus scott/tiger#pdb1 #run_proc.sql
Testing is simple - at MS DOS prompt, call the batch script:
c:\temp>run_proc
c:\temp>sqlplus scott/tiger#pdb1 #run_proc.sql
