Example of downloading a pdf from web (https) and saving into disk using PL/SQL.

Some times before I have posted this example: http://saubbane.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/example-of-downloading-pdf-from-web-and.html
But this will not work in case of https. So I have decided to post another example using UTL_HTTP. This can download any file with https also.

Join using Like Condition - Using Oracle Text

This is also based on one of my posting in OTN. Here, I have demonstrated the use of Oracle Text in place of LIKE operator. This may give significant benefit in terms of performance.

The problem.

create table location_source
(code number,
description varchar2(100)
);

 

insert into location_source values('', 'check in london');
insert into location_source values('', 'flight Paris 9.30');
insert into location_source values('', 'baggage allowance 20kg Hong kong');
insert into location_source values('', 'check out 6.30');
insert into location_source values('', 'new york 23rd Jul');
insert into location_source values('', 'flight jy688 sydney');

 

create table location_lookup
(code number
location_lookup varchar2(10)
);

 

insert into location_lookup values (001, 'London');
insert into location_lookup values (002, 'London');
insert into location_lookup values (003, 'Paris');
insert into location_lookup values (004, 'Hong Kong');
insert into location_lookup values (005, 'Paris');
insert into location_lookup values (006, 'New York');

The SQL looks something like this:

select s.*, min(l.code) , l.location_lookup
from location_source s, locaction_lookup l
and UPPER(s.description||'%') like upper(l.location_lookup||'%')
group by s.*, l.location_lookup

 

Output Required:

 
Code	Description	                  Code	Location_Lookup
	check in london	                  001	London
	flight Paris 9.30                 003	Paris
	baggage allowance 20kg Hong kong  004	Hong Kong
	check out 6.30		
	new york 23rd Jul	          006	New York
	flight jy688 sydney

Now, The problem is other methods using LIKE operator is running slow for huge amount of data. Oracle Text is very useful in these cases.

Preparing SCOTT to use Oracle Text:

    SQL>   
    SQL> SHOW USER  
    USER is "SYS"  
    SQL>   
    SQL> GRANT ctxapp TO scott;  
      
    Grant succeeded.  
      
    SQL> GRANT EXECUTE ON CTXSYS.CTX_CLS TO scott;  
      
    Grant succeeded.  
      
    SQL> GRANT EXECUTE ON CTXSYS.CTX_DDL TO scott;  
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTXSYS.CTX_DOC TO scott;  
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTXSYS.CTX_OUTPUT TO scott;  
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTXSYS.CTX_QUERY TO scott;  
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTXSYS.CTX_REPORT TO scott;  
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTXSYS.CTX_THES TO scott;  
    GRANT EXECUTE ON CTXSYS.CTX_ULEXER TO scott;  
    Grant succeeded.  
      
    SQL>   
    Grant succeeded.  
      
    SQL>   
    Grant succeeded.  
      
    SQL>   
    Grant succeeded.  
      
    SQL>   
    Grant succeeded.  
      
    SQL>   
    Grant succeeded.  

Now the actual test::

    SQL> SHOW user  
    USER is "SCOTT"  
    SQL> --My database version.  
    SQL> SELECT * FROm v$version;

Listing Operating system disk usages with Oracle External Table PREPROCESSOR feature

This is based on one of my posting in OTN.
Database version and directory setups:

1.

PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production  
CORE    11.2.0.1.0      Production

SQL>

Now, the OS setups:

1. [oracle@localhost saubhik]$  
2. [oracle@localhost saubhik]$ ## My Operating System.  
3. [oracle@localhost saubhik]$ uname -a  
4. Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Mon Mar 29 22:10:29 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux  
5. [oracle@localhost saubhik]$ pwd  
6. /home/oracle/saubhik  
7. [oracle@localhost saubhik]$ cat free_space.sh  
8. #This shell script is call by External Table's PREPROCESSOR claus.  
9. # As per the external table definitin the file named as "frespace.txt" is passed as argument 1 ($1) to this script.  
10. #!/bin/bash  
11.   
12. # Reading the output of the file into a varriable  
13. a=`/bin/cat $1`  
14.   
15. # Listing the space informations  
16. /bin/df -Pkh $a  
17. exit  
18. [oracle@localhost saubhik]$  
19. [oracle@localhost saubhik]$ cat freespace.txt  
20. /home  
21. [oracle@localhost saubhik]$  

Now the External Table setup:
