I'm trying to use DBMS_JOB to schedule hourly statspack snaps. Per note on Metalink, I've try to run the following:
SQL> variable x number; SQL> begin 2 dbms_job.submit(:x,'statspack.snap',sysdate,'sysdate + 1/24'); 3 end; 4 / begin * ERROR at line 1: ORA-06550: line 1, column 108: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "END" when expecting one of the following: := .
