Oracle Database Sms Gateway

This document provides a code example for sending SMS messages from an Oracle database through a third-party SMS gateway web service portal. The code declares HTTP request and response objects and constructs a URL to call the SMS gateway API, passing parameters for the recipient phone number, sender, and SMS message text. It then makes an HTTP GET request to the URL and outputs the response.

Oracle Database, Send SMS through

SMS Gateway

Tested on 10g 10.2.0.3 database with default


installation(no additional packages were installed to
achieve the results)

There are many APIs (developed by 3rd parties) which will


allow you to send SMS from a Oracle database on demand.
Many times such APIs would become costly, depending upon
your requirements.

Here, we are providing a zero cost solution, incase if your SMS


gateway provider allows you to send SMS through a web
service portal.

You may wrap the entire procedure and call it against a table
trigger or through a button click available with user form(s)
