Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Send output to a PC every N minutes
What is the business problem? I can think of several viable solutions
depending upon what problem they are trying to solve. Do they need real
time notification? Are they polling to see if something changed? I've
used dbms_alerts in the past and a trigger to raise an alert. Then the
program on the PC can requery. It saves you from polling the heck out
of a table, but gives you feedback when the data changes per some
criteria.

That's what we were thinking of. The problem with sql*plus is that procedure has to end for output to get to screen. Then how do you reinvoke the procedure again. DBMS_JOB won't send output to a client PC.

What version? How do you want to send output? You could easily do this using sqlplus or dbms_job. A procedure and a mechanism to otput is all you need.

Our developers have a requirement to query a table and send the output to a PC every N minutes. Developers don't know Perl so looking at some alternatives. I would hate to do it in Sql*plus since would have to start sql*plus, connect, run procedure, exit and repeat. That would be a lot of connecting.
Any other suggestions.
