Hi all,
I wish to spool the result of a dynamic sql that is generated in one of my stored procedures. Basically, I have a task of removing some grants for the user from my production environment. But before I do so, i wish to save the current grants in order to rollback them in future. And I have the permission of only running the SP in one shot. I cannot access production database and store the already existing grants.


here is my procedure....

DECLARE

	SQL_STMT VARCHAR2(100);
	cursor cur_rev is select privilege, owner, table_name, grantee from dba_tab_privs where
						table_name = 'XYZ' AND GRANTEE LIKE '%ABC%';
						
						 
BEGIN

	dbms_output.put_line('----- Rollback Grant statements ------'||chr(10));

	for c1 in cur_rev loop
		
	    sql_stmt := 'GRANT '||c1.PRIVILEGE||' ON '||c1.OWNER||'.'||c1.TABLE_NAME||' TO '||c1.GRANTEE||';';
		dbms_output.put_line(sql_stmt);
	end loop;
	
	dbms_output.put_line(chr(10)||chr(10)|| '----- Revoking Grants for OG_PAY_VARIABLE_SV REMOVED FROM ABC ------');
	
	for c1 in cur_rev loop
		
		sql_stmt := 'REVOKE '||c1.PRIVILEGE||' ON '||c1.OWNER||'.'||c1.TABLE_NAME||' FROM '||c1.GRANTEE;
		dbms_output.put_line(sql_stmt);
		execute immediate sql_stmt;
	end loop;
	
	dbms_output.put_line(chr(10)||chr(10)||' All grants for XYZ REMOVED FOR ABC');
	
	exception when others then 
		dbms_output.put_line('Error :'||sqlerrm);
		
	
END;
/

I can user spool <file_name> only in SQL, not inside a procdure. And i dont want to spool the whole thing.
I just want to spool the grant statements that are generated dynamically.

What's "the whole thing"?!
Anyway, if you run this on production and you don't want to see any output, then you should get rid of those dbms_output calls. If you don't spool it, they are no good anyway.

Here is my idea. Please note: code NOT tested.


create or replace package pkgtext is
type r_cursor is ref cursor;
procedure get_accounts_procedure (o_cursor out r_cursor);
end pkgtext;
/

create or replace package body pkgtext is
procedure get_text (o_cursor out r_cursor) 
as
begin
open o_cursor for 
select * from emp;
end get_text;
end pkgtext;
/

in sqlplus ( client side)

var rc ref cursor
spool ...\output.txt
exec get_text(rc);
print :rc
spool off

Apart from non-valid code (I know you claimed it was not tested, but I can see at first sight, without running that it wil not work; there is no get_text that can be exec'ed.) and the fact that this has nothing to do with what was asked originally, the original post quite clearly states that he is not able/allowed to run anything but one-off procedures.

yes thats right. I am not allowed to run anything but one-off procedures. Michel suggested some reading on the utl_file and I found this. Thought I could use this to store the dynamically generated in the SPs sql_stmt s in a file.

create or replace procedure utl_file_test_write (
  path       in varchar2,
  filename   in varchar2,
  firstline  in varchar2, 
  secondline in varchar2)
is
    output_file  utl_file.file_type;
begin
    output_file := utl_file.fopen (path,filename, 'W');

    utl_file.put_line (output_file, firstline);
    utl_file.put_line (output_file, secondline);
    utl_file.fclose(output_file);

  --exception
  --  when others then null;
end;
/



But when I execute this SP, i get an error saying invalid directory path.

exec utl_file_test_write('c:\','test.sql','adi','aggar');
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 33
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 436
ORA-06512: at "ORDER_SCHEMA.UTL_FILE_TEST_WRITE", line 9
ORA-06512: at line 1


I tried various combinations of formats of path such as 'c:\\', '//temp','/temp'... but all return the same error.

Can someone direct me as to what is the correct format for path.

As explained in the documentation, the first parameter must be either an Oracle directory or a value present in "utl_file_dir" parameter.
