Got problem with executing my script under SQLPLUS. Under SQL Developer it works well.
set serveroutput on size 1000000
declare
yyy varchar2(32000):='';
begin
yyy := 'XxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzz';
yyy := yyy || 'XxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzz';
yyy := yyy || 'XxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzzXxxYyyZzz';
dbms_output.put_line(yyy);
end;
/
Under SQLPLUS I get error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error ORA-06512: at line 1
Any solution how to force running scripts with long output under SQLPLUS? I need output on because I spool results to file.
You are using a Oracle client older than Oracle 10g against an Oracle 10g Database
Please find the quote from ASKTOM below
The problem is NOT during runtime, you are apparently using an old client against a 10.2 or above database. The database code runs fine
It is when the client goes to PICK UP THE STRING from the database that you are hitting the exception.
sqlplus is doing something like this:
a) call procedure/code - it runs and fills a dbms_output buffer, an array in a package.
b) then sqlplus calls dbms_output.GET_LINES to get the buffered output to print. THIS is the call that fails.

I am using the oracle version.
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0
I accidentally ran the command o; in oracle delveloper.
The result is as below.
The PL/SQL procedure completed successfully.
not spooling currently
The sqlcl_int_runme alias has been removed.
I don't know what I did....
First of all, there seems to be no problem with basic table CRUD.
Has anyone had this experience?
I need an explanation of what happened...
It's an alias.
We copied over some popular commands from postgresql to SQLcl, one of those was 'o'
From the post docs
\o or \out [ filename ] \o or \out [ |command ] Arranges to save
future query results to the file filename or pipe future results to
the shell command command. If no argument is specified, the query
output is reset to the standard output.
If the argument begins with |, then the entire remainder of the line
is taken to be the command to execute, and neither variable
interpolation nor backquote expansion are performed in it. The rest of
the line is simply passed literally to the shell.
“Query results” includes all tables, command responses, and notices
obtained from the database server, as well as output of various
backslash commands that query the database (such as \d); but not error
messages.

I have a database connection server "server_dev" in sqldeveloper .
Now i want to create a procedure whose output can be directly saved in a csv file for data comparison later in the local drive of my laptop.
So i tried using UTL_FILE oracle package but when i ran the procedure the UTL_FILE was trying to write in the file of the server "server_dev" whereas i dont have any access to that server hence that command isnt working.
for example: the code is:-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE export_to_csv_test
IS
v_file UTL_FILE.file_type;
v_string VARCHAR2 (4000);
CURSOR c_contexts
IS
SELECT workspace_id,context_id from contexts where rownum<5;
BEGIN
v_file :=
UTL_FILE.fopen ('Z:\My_Project_knowledge\CSVDIR', 'empdata.csv','w',1000);
FOR cur IN c_contexts
`enter code here`LOOP
v_string :=
cur.workspace_id
|| ','
|| cur.context_id;
UTL_FILE.put_line (v_file, v_string);
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.fclose (v_file);
END;
for calling it :-
BEGIN
export_to_csv_test;
END;
Error report:
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 41
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 478
ORA-06512: at "RAY_DEV07_OWNER.EXPORT_TO_CSV_TEST", line 20
ORA-06512: at line 3
29280. 00000 - "invalid directory path"
*Cause: A corresponding directory object does not exist.
*Action: Correct the directory object parameter, or create a corresponding
directory object with the CREATE DIRECTORY command.
So,I analysed it and found that my SQL developer is connected to a server to my local machin and since its my office laptop I cant alter it.
Can i have any other way in which I can save the output of my stored procedure to my local drive in a text or Csv file?
To write a file to your local machine you may use dbms_output; for example in SQLPlus:
SQL> set feedback off
SQL> set echo off
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> spool d:\spool.txt
SQL> begin
2 for i in (select level from dual connect by level <= 5) loop
3 dbms_output.put_line('Level ' || i.level);
4 end loop;
5 end;
6 /
WIll produce the file d:\spool.txt:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
If you can select directly from a table or table function, then SQL*Plus 12.2's new SET MARKUP CSV option will be useful. Instead of paginating the query output it will produce CSV. The full syntax is
SET MARKUP CSV {ON|OFF} [DELIMI[TER] character] [QUOTE {ON|OFF}]
Output generation will faster if you turn on this mode with the sqlplus -m option.
It's also useful for querying JSON types. See https://blogs.oracle.com/opal/entry/fast_generation_of_csv_and
i got a little problem in Oracle. I try to create a sequence for generating IDs in a table that already has data in it. I try to use the following anonymous block.
declare y varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
SELECT 'CREATE SEQUENCE ID_SEQ MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 9999999999 START WITH ' || (max(ID)+1) || ' INCREMENT BY 1 CACHE 20;' INTO y FROM TEST_TABLE;
--dbms_output.put_line(y);
execute immediate y;
end;
I get the following error:
Error report:
ORA-00911: invalid character
ORA-06512: at line 5
00911. 00000 - "invalid character"
If I execute the value of the y variable it works perfectly. I'm using SQL Developer as input interface and working on a 11g r2 Oracle server. I found similar codes where 'INCREMENT BY' parameter were script generated. Can someone explain my error?
When you execute immediate, the command you run should not have a semi-colon on the end; that is a command separator in SQL Developer (and SQL*Plus, and other clients), not part of the SQL statement itself.
SELECT 'CREATE SEQUENCE ID_SEQ MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 9999999999 START WITH '
|| (max(ID)+1) || ' INCREMENT BY 1 CACHE 20' INTO y FROM TEST_TABLE;
This is shown in the examples for plain SQL. Just to help confuse you though, if you are using PL/SQL within the dynamic SQL, you do still need semi-colons appropriate to PL/SQL itself - though not the executing / you'd use to run it directly from a client. This is shown in other examples.
Problem
I just want to see the value of a variable. I don't understand why this has to be so difficult.
My SQL Statement
--set serveroutput on format wrapped; Tried this too
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
--DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE(32000); Tried with, and without this
vend_num xx.VENDOR_CWT.VEND_NO%TYPE;
SELECT vend_no
INTO vend_num
FROM xx.VENDOR_NAME
WHERE VENDOR_NAME1 = 'xxxx';
dbms_output.put_line(vend_num);
The Error I'm Geting
Error starting at line 13 in command:
dbms_output.put_line(vend_num)
Error report:
Unknown Command
What I've Tried
I've tried the following answers:
Print text in Oracle SQL Developer SQL Worksheet window
Printing the value of a variable in SQL Developer
I've done what this answer suggested with the gui: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7889380/496680
I've tried exec dbms_output[...] as some posts have suggested.
Question
How do I just print the value of vend_num;
DBMS_Output is a PL/SQL package, so you'd call it from within PL/SQL code.
declare
end_num xx.VENDOR_CWT.VEND_NO%TYPE;
begin
SELECT vend_no
INTO vend_num
FROM xx.VENDOR_NAME
WHERE VENDOR_NAME1 = 'xxxx';
dbms_output.put_line(vend_num);
end;
