SQL & PL/SQL

Hello All!

There is a Way to send Message From Oracle Database Server to Mobile Device.

One Way is to Send Email using Oracle SMTP Package - [UTL_SMTP].

Mostly Cellular Service Providers give the Facility to their users to Recieve Email on Post-Paid Connections.
{Mobile_No@Service_Provider_Domain.com} is the E-Mail Address for Post-Paid Connection Holder.
e.g. +923003338669@mobilinkgsm.com.

In this Way, Install/Configure Oracle Database 8.x/9.x/10.x and Create a Package.

BEGIN
 demo_mail.mail(
         	    sender     => 'Me <me@some-company.com>',
		    recipients => 'Someone <Mobile_No@Celluler_Service_Provider_Domain.com>' ,
		    subject    => 'SMS From Oracle Database Server',
		    message    => 'Hi! This is a test Message.');
END;

Second Way is to Send SMS Using GSM Modem/Mobile Phone & its Supporting Software/Utility.
There are many software/utilities/Tools which can do this, but here i am using a free project.
In this Way, Install/Configure:

              * Red Hat Linux Operating System
              * Oracle Database 8i/9.x/10.x
              * Gnokii - For Nokia Mobile Phone 
                         
                         Download    : http://gnokii.org/download/gnokii/0.6.x/gnokii-0.6.2.tar.gz
                         Install     : http://urtica.linuxnews.pl/~pkot/gnokii/gnokii.html#ch1 
                         Sample File : http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/gnokii/gnokii/Docs/sample/gnokiirc?rev=1.22
                         User Guide  : http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/User%27s_Guide

              * Nokia Mobile Phone With Data Cable - [http://www.gnokii.org/cables.shtml]

Try to Send SMS Using the Command.

Waseem$ echo "This is a test SMS using Gnokii-Linux..." | gnokii --sendsms +923003338669

Note : Message Length = 160 Characters.

It Will Take 30 - 40 Seconds and will send the SMS to the desired Number.

To Test & Configure it in Oracle Database, you have to Create a Java Class.

http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/8i/ShellCommandsFromPLSQL.php

        SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000
	CALL DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT(1000000);
		
	BEGIN
	     Host_Command (p_command => 'echo "This is a test SMS from Oracle Database." | gnokii --sendsms +923003338669');
	END;
	/

I have tried it on Nokia 6030 and its Working.
