I regularly need to run a single query on some table in one of my DBs and I would rather not have to create a file and call it as a script and everything if I don't have to.
I would like to be able to send the query directly to sqlplus as a string like this perhaps
sqlplus user/pass#hostname:port/service "select * from table"
instead of having to create a file that holds only that one query and call it with
sqlplus user/pass#hostname:port/service #filename
does anyone know if this is possible?
In addition to mathguy answer, with linux shells,
you can use the operator here-string like this:
sqlplus user/pass#hostname:port/service <<< 'select * from table;'
Don't forget the semi-colon at the end of your query.
I believe the sqlplus command doesn't accept a SQL statement (as a string) as a command-line parameter. You can run sqlplus either interactively or in batch (giving a .sql file as input).
However, you can do something like what you are asking, using operating system facilities. I don't know how this might work in Windows, but in Unix/Linux you can use a here document. Something like this: (I masked my password and my machine name for privacy, but otherwise it's a screenshot showing the command and its output)

Never ever enter your credentials next to sqlplus command but use /nolog option through a variable assignment in order to unveil them whenever ps command issued by the others such as
rec=$(sqlplus -S /nolog << EOF

I have a .bat file which looks like this:
start C:\sqlcl-latest\sqlcl\bin\sql javi/pwd#tnsname #"mypath1"
The script it calls looks like this:
select 1 from dual;
select 2 from dual;
exit;
Is there any way to log everything in the cmd and the sqlcl console into a file instead/in addition to being printed in stdout?
I have tried the below, but it creates an empty log file:
start C:\sqlcl-latest\sqlcl\bin\sql javi/pwd#tnsname #"mypath1" > mylog.txt
I don't have SQLCL, but this (redirection to file) should (at least, I hope so) work at operating system command prompt.
myfile1.sql:
select * from dept;
myfile2.sql:
select empno, ename, job, sal
from emp
where deptno = 10;
mypath1.sql:
#"myfile1"
#"myfile2"
exit;
mybat.bat:
sqlplus scott/tiger#orcl#mypath1.sql > mylog.txt
-----------
this redirects output into mylog.txt file
Running the mybat.bat at the command prompt:
C:\>mybat
C:\>sqlplus scott/tiger#orcl#mypath1.sql 1>mylog.txt
There's no output to screen; everything is contained in mylog.txt file so - let's check it:
C:\>type mylog.txt

Can someone help me on this I had searched for the answer and did all possible way but not getting the solution.
You're almost there - here's a top to bottom run of the code, the only change being I've created a schema to hold the table and the path names for the CSV file. So follow the demo below and if yours does not get the same result, edit the question with the full output similar to below. Also, if you still get issues, try it without DIRECT/PARALLEL which will help us dig deeper into the "why".

I am trying to store the value of sql query output in a variable using shell script.
size=`${PATH_TO_CLIENT}sqlplus $IMPUSER/$IMPPWD#$ENDPOINT<< EOF
select owner, sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 Size_GB from dba_segments where owner = 'XXXX' group by owner;
exit;
EOF`
echo "Total data is ${size}"
The output I am getting is

SQL> Disconnected from Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production
Version 19.8.0.0.0
Inside the variable full connection string and sql query output all are getting stored. I just want to get value like $size=12.2345 Please tell me how to get that
The size value might be assigned to the current variable through use of the following code block
size=$(sqlplus -S /nolog << EOF
conn $IMPUSER/$IMPPWD#$ENDPOINT
whenever sqlerror exit sql.sqlcode
SET PAGES 0
SELECT SUM(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 FROM dba_segments WHERE owner = 'XXXX';
EOF
)
echo "Total data is "$size
where
keeping owner column and group by clause are redundant as
returning only one column value for a single schema
no need to alias the calculated value as not needed for the returning result while hiding the column title through use of SET PAGES 0 command
using direct connection is not safe, but use sqlplus -S /nolog before
schema connection in order to hide the password while listed by
anbody through ps command.
You can use this:
size=`${PATH_TO_CLIENT}sqlplus -s $IMPUSER/$IMPPWD#$ENDPOINT <<EOF
set echo off
set feedback off
set heading off
set pages 0
select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 Size_GB from dba_segments where owner = 'SYS';
exit;
EOF`
echo "Total data is ${size}"
If the output is consistent with newlines, you could use:
size=`${PATH_TO_CLIENT}sqlplus $IMPUSER/$IMPPWD#$ENDPOINT<< EOF | sed -n '/^\s*SIZE_GB$/{n;n;n;p}'
select owner, sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 Size_GB from dba_segments where owner = 'XXXX' group by owner;
exit;
EOF`
It will return the third line after line which contains 'SIZE_GB'.
I need to give the spool file name dynamically and I have to pass the parameters when I call sqlplus. Below is what I tried
echo exit | sqlplus "{{ Oracle_username }}/ {{ Oracle_pwd}} #(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host={{ Oracle_HostName }} )(Port=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID= {{Oracle_SID }})))" #Script.sql 'AppName' 'DatabaseName' 'ObjectType'
Over here I tried to pass App Name, Database Name and Object Type dynamically. Prior to running SQLPLUS step, I create folders dynamically (App Name , Database Name , Object Type are all folders and it will vary depending on each application) .Below is how my script.sql looks like :
SPOOL &&AppName/&&DatabaseName/&&ObjectType/Output.csv
<<SQL Script>>
SPOOL OFF
This doenst work . Can someone tell me what needs to be changed.
You are passing the values you want to form your spool file path and name as arguments to your script, but you need to refer to them as positional parameters:
SPOOL &1/&2/&3/Output.csv
Or if you're going to reuse them for something else you could define your own variable, set from the positional parameters:
DEFINE AppName=&1
DEFINE DatabaseName=&2
DEFINE ObjectType=&3
SPOOL &&AppName/&&DatabaseName/&&ObjectType/Output.csv
The spool file path will be relative to the directory you're in when you run the script. If that isn't what you want then put the root before the first substitution variable in the spool command, whichever form you use.
You could also include the exit in your .sql file so you don't have to echo it in; and you could use a TNS alias instead of passing all of the connection information on the command line - or if you can use a service name instead of a SID, you could use the easy connect syntax which is a bit simpler:
sqlplus username/password#//hostname:1521/service_name #Script.sql 'AppName' 'DatabaseName' 'ObjectType'
set your appname,dbname,objecttype's as environmental variables and then Try like below
[oracle#ct-myhost-02 ~]$ export app_name=/stage
[oracle#ct-myhost-02 ~]$ export database_name=PSES
[oracle#ct-myhost-02 ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

How to use file name with dollar sign (ie, '$') in unix like below
SQL> spool DIR$work.sql
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.
and i tried like below
SQL> spool DIR\$work.sql
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.
SQL> spool 'DIR\$work.sql'
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.
SQL> spool 'DIR$work.sql'
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.
I couldn't succeed in any way to create such file in oracle.
I have oracle 11g version.
In windows sqlplus it works fine.
You can use the set escchar setting to stop Oracle interpreting the dollar sign:
SQL> show escchar
escchar OFF
SQL> spool /tmp/$work.sql
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.
SQL> set escchar $
SQL> spool /tmp/$work.sql
SQL>
You are now spooling to that file name.
