i found this code to disable all constraints.

set feedback off
set verify off
set echo off
prompt Finding constraints to disable...
set termout off
set pages 80
set heading off
set linesize 120
spool tmp_disable.sql;
select 'spool igen_disable.log;' from dual;
select 'ALTER TABLE '||substr(c.table_name,1,35)||
' DISABLE CONSTRAINT '||constraint_name||' ;'
from user_constraints c, user_tables u
where c.table_name = u.table_name;
--and c.constraint_type IN ('P','R','U');
select 'exit;' from dual;
set termout on
prompt Disabling constraints now...
set termout off
@tmp_disable.sql;
exit
/

however, there are other procedures that shall be done after disabling the constraints. I want to put them in one package. How do I call this from a procedure? When I tried to simply enclose it in a PROCEDURE format, the spool file command is not recognized. It returned error message. Hope anyone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

    The majority of those commands are SQL*Plus commands. That means that they are specific to SQL*Plus and are not part of SQL or PL/SQL which is what you write your procedures/packages with.

    Tell us more about what you are trying to achieve and we can advise the best way, because this may be that you put everything in a procedure and code the requirements to generate output or you put everything in a script and execute it via a job etc.

    You can include the select statement in a cursor within a database procedure and use dynamic SQL (execute immediate to execute the DDL).

    The system setup is that from Oracle 10g database, data will be copied to locally deployed Oracle XE databases. In order to do that, tables in Oracle XE should be truncated. But before truncating the table, constraints should be disabled first.Then after inserting records from Oracle 10g, constraints shall be enabled again.

    I hope you could help me with this one. Thanks in advance.

    Thank you. I can review this and maybe would revise a few statements to fit my requirements.

    Or run your procedure here.
    exec myprocedure ;
    exit
    /
