Thanks Igor for setting me straight. I don't see that in the doco but I am looking at 8.1.7.

Lisa,
You don't need DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE, when running other then DML statements. DBMS_SQL.PARSE is enough.

Surendra, you need to execute it. Look at the spec of dbms_sql (I want to say it's dbms_sql.execute()). Either that or use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.

Hi List,
As the part of developing hot backup strategy, I am testing the following
piece of code
to take care of arch files to be made avaialable along with backup set.
=====================
SQL> create or replace procedure log_switch as
2 cursor1 integer;
3 begin
4 cur1 := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
5 dbms_sql.parse(cur1,'ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE', dbms_sql.v7);
6 dbms_sql.close_cursor(cur1);
7 end;
8 /
Procedure created.
SQL> execute log_switch;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
======================
But, I have observed several times that the above code is not forcing a log
switch.
FYI, I want to track the sequence# of logfiles before and after the hot
backup, so that
I can backup the files in that range.
Am I properly using the DBMS_SQL?
Any help is highly appreciated
TIA,
Suren
Oracle DBA
Sony
