SUBMIT Procedure
This procedure submits a new job. It chooses the job from the sequence sys.jobseq.
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT ( job OUT BINARY_INTEGER, what IN VARCHAR2, next_date IN DATE DEFAULT sysdate, interval IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'null', no_parse IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE, instance IN BINARY_INTEGER DEFAULT any_instance, force IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);
Table 78-9 SUBMIT Procedure Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
job |
Number of the job being run. |
|
what |
PL/SQL procedure to run. |
|
next_date |
Next date when the job will be run. |
|
interval |
Date function that calculates the next time to run the job. The default is NULL. This must evaluate to a either a future point in time or NULL. |
|
no_parse |
A flag. The default is FALSE. If this is set to FALSE, then Oracle parses the procedure associated with the job. If this is set to TRUE, then Oracle parses the procedure associated with the job the first time that the job is run. For example, if you want to submit a job before you have created the tables associated with the job, then set this to TRUE. |
|
instance |
When a job is submitted, specifies which instance can run the job. |
|
force |
If this is TRUE, then any positive integer is acceptable as the job instance. If this is FALSE (the default), then the specified instance must be running; otherwise the routine raises an exception. |
-
You must issue a COMMIT statement immediately after the statement.
-
The parameters instance and force are added for job queue affinity. Job queue affinity gives users the ability to indicate whether a particular instance or any instance can run a submitted job.
This submits a new job to the job queue. The job calls the procedure DBMS_DDL.ANALYZE_OBJECT to generate optimizer statistics for the table DQUON.ACCOUNTS. The statistics are based on a sample of half the rows of the ACCOUNTS table. The job is run every 24 hours:
VARIABLE jobno number;
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(:jobno,
'dbms_ddl.analyze_object(''TABLE'',
''DQUON'', ''ACCOUNTS'',
''ESTIMATE'', NULL, 50);'
SYSDATE, 'SYSDATE + 1');
COMMIT;
END;
/
Statement processed.
