I have a problem with a java function that I use to run unix commands.

It works OK for most commands(for example touch works fine), but I am having problem with the echo command.

I am wondering whether the problem is the redirection sign >

 

Plaform is Oracle 9.2 on Solaris but same problem occurs on AIX

Below is the code and the sql script I use to test.

Any thoughts?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "function_os_command" AS

import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;

public class function_os_command

{

public static int Run(String Command)

{

int rc = 0;

try

{

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();

Process p = rt.exec(Command);

try {

rc = p.waitFor();

} catch (InterruptedException intexc) { rc = 2; }

} catch (Throwable t) { rc = 3; }

return(rc);

}

}

/

CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION function_run_os_command(Command IN STRING)

RETURN NUMBER IS

LANGUAGE JAVA

NAME 'function_os_command.Run(java.lang.String) return integer';

/

 

 

 

sql script to test it

/* example call to unix function */

set serveroutput on

VARIABLE retcode NUMBER;

begin

--:retcode := function_run_os_command('/usr/bin/echo hello > /tmp/testecho');

:retcode := function_run_os_command('/usr/bin/touch /tmp/testecho');

 

dbms_output.put_line('retcode ' || :retcode);

end;

.

/

exit
