Oracle Shell Scripting

This document presents three methods for creating shell scripts to connect to SQLPlus and RMAN from UNIX/Linux environments. The first method places SQL or RMAN commands in a file and runs it using a shell script. The second method directly pipes the commands to SQLPlus or RMAN from the shell script. The third method, only for Windows, uses batch files to run SQL or RMAN files and commands. All methods allow scheduling the scripts to run automatically.

Oracle Shell Scripting

This article presents some basic techniques for creating Windows batch files and UNIX/Linux shell scripts that connect to SQL*Plus and RMAN. Windows UNIX and Linux (Method 1) UNIX and Linux (Method 2)

Windows
To run an SQL script using SQL*Plus, place the SQL along with any SQL*Plus commands in a file and save it on your operating system. For example, save the following script in a file called "C:emp.sql". CONNECT scott/tiger SPOOL C:emp.lst SET LINESIZE 100 SET PAGESIZE 50 SELECT * FROM emp; SPOOL OFF EXIT; Next, create a batch file called "C:get_emp.bat" containing the following command. sqlplus /nolog @C:emp.sql The resulting batch file can be run manually, by double-clicking on it, or scheduled using the Scheduled Tasks Wizard (Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks) or the AT scheduler. The method is very similar when using Recovery Manager (RMAN). As an example, place the following RMAN commands in a file called "C:cmdfile.txt". RUN { ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 TYPE DISK FORMAT 'C:oraclebackupDB10G%d_DB_%u_%s_%p'; BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG; RELEASE CHANNEL ch1; } EXIT; Next create a batch file called "C:backup.bat" containing the following command. rman target=/ @cmdfile.txt This command can include a catalog= entry if a recovery catalog is used. Once again, resulting batch file can be run manually or scheduled.

UNIX and Linux (Method 1)


The previous methods works equally well in UNIX and Linux environments. For example, save the following script in a file called "/u01/emp.sql". CONNECT scott/tiger SPOOL /u01/emp.lst SET LINESIZE 100 SET PAGESIZE 50 SELECT * FROM emp;

SPOOL OFF EXIT; Next, create a shell script called "/u01/get_emp.ksh" containing the following lines. #!/bin/ksh sqlplus /nolog @/u01/emp.sql The following command makes the file executable for the file owner. chmod u+x /u01/get_emp.ksh The resulting shell script can be run manually from the command line, or scheduled using CRON. For RMAN, place the following RMAN commands in a file called "/u01/cmdfile.txt". RUN { ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 TYPE DISK FORMAT '/u01/backup/DB10G/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p'; BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG; RELEASE CHANNEL ch1; } EXIT; Next create a batch file called "/u01/backup.ksh" containing the following lines. #!/bin/ksh rman target=/ @/u01/cmdfile.txt This command can include a catalog= entry if a recovery catalog is used. Once again, resulting shell script must be made executable using the following command. chmod u+x /u01/backup.ksh The shell script is now ready to run.

UNIX and Linux (Method 2)


UNIX and Linux environments also allow the SQL*Plus and RMAN commands to be piped directly from the command line. For example, save the following commands in a file called "/u01/get_emp.ksh". #!/bin/ksh sqlplus /nolog << EOF CONNECT scott/tiger SPOOL /u01/emp.lst SET LINESIZE 100 SET PAGESIZE 50 SELECT * FROM emp; SPOOL OFF EXIT; EOF Notice the "<< EOF" and "EOF" tags, indicating the start and end of the command being piped into the SQL*Plus executable. The shell script is made executable using the following command. chmod u+x /u01/get_emp.ksh The shell script is ready to be run manually from the command line or scheduled using CRON. The following example shows how RMAN can use the same method. Create a file called "/u01/backup.ksh" with the following contents. #!/bin/ksh rman target=/ << EOF RUN { ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 TYPE DISK FORMAT '/u01/backup/DB10G/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p'; BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;

RELEASE CHANNEL ch1; } EXIT; EOF Once again, the script can be made executable using the following command. chmod u+x /u01/backup.ksh The shell script is now ready to run.
