Question

In Plsql I want to create sound (Beep) while came to a particular exception.
I tried to search in many search engines but still I didn’t get proper result and study material on this topic.
If any one knows about this, then this would be very helpful for me to make this functionality by using PLSQL itself.
Other option I have to call Java function to play audio file, this is my last option.
But in first hand I want to do this only with the help of PLSQL code, so that my code will not have any dependency on Java(or C or any other language).

Is it possible to produce sound in PLSQL code itself?
If anyone have any idea, any suggestion, any start point or any study material .. please provide.

Answer 1

chr(7) will produce a beep in SQL*Plus, at least on Windows:

SQL> select chr(7) from dual;

For those of you wondering why anyone would want to do this – I sometimes put that code at the end of long-running deployment scripts so it will beep when it’s finished.
