Pass sql into pl/sql and create RMAN duplicate script.


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi,

I'm new to pl/sql and I'm trying to write a script that will generate some RMAN commands to do a database clone.

Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
I want to able to run the script and it prompt me for variables to be used in the script.

I've done some research but I've been unable to find any examples of how to do this.

Basic script is (there would obviously be a lot more to the final script):

declare

dbname varchar2(9) := &dbname;

BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE(2000);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO '|| dbname ||';');
end;
/

Gives me:

Enter value for dbname: ORCL4
old 3: dbname varchar2(9) := &dbname;
new 3: dbname varchar2(9) := ORCL4;
dbname varchar2(9) := ORCL4;
*
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-06550: line 3, column 24:
PLS-00201: identifier 'ORCL4' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 3, column 9:
PL/SQL: Item ignored
ORA-06550: line 7, column 66:
PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
ORA-06550: line 7, column 9:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored

Thanks,
