Dynamically open/execute a .sql file

Is it possible to dynamically open a .sql file?
Specifically, if the user's input will determine which file to open, how can I open the corresponding file?
For example, if the user's options are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and their selection will determine whether to open file1.sql, file2.sql, file3.sql, file4.sql, or file5.sql, how do I open the correct file?
Let me know if additional information is needed.
Thanks!

Can you take a step back and explain exactly what you're trying to accomplish here?
Are you trying to give users some sort of menu-based system in SQL*Plus that will execute scripts? Will those scripts be on the user's machine? Or on the server?
If this is your goal, you are generally better served using a shell script on a central server to present the menu, process the choice, and invoke SQL*Plus or putting some sort of thin web-based GUI on top of the scripts.

How to execute a .sql file from a batch file

Hi all
I've to take backup of a database weekly twice on every wednesday & Friday @ 5pm IST. I've written a hot backup script, which works every well.
now i want to automate the script. ie i want this script to run on wednesday & friday @ 5pm without any human interfearance ie with out actually any1 executing this script.
i created a batch file prod.bak with the following lines
@echo off
set oracle_sid=testdb
set oracle_home=d:\oracle\ora92
sqlplus /nolog
connect sys as sysdba/oracletest@testdb
this batch file when eexecuted connects me to sql prompt.
Now i want to execute my backup script bkp.sql automatically when it is connected to sql prompt.
(i tried with these lines in the above batch file...
call bkp.sql---it just opens the bkp.sql file in notepad & displays the script
start bkp.sql---same as call
connect / as sysdba/pwd@[email protected] --- does not work simply remains a the sql prompt.
At 17:00 /Every:w,f "d:\bkp.sql"---does not work simply remains at the sql promt.)
Can any1 let me know what should i write in the batch file that will execute the bkp.sql file automatically after it gets connected to sql prompt. M using oracle 9i.
I'll manage he time through windows utility of scheduling task.. Let me know how to execute the .sql file from a batch file.
Thanks
Tripti

Try
sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

Importing and executing a .sql file into Oracle 10g

Hi
I am looking to import and execute a .sql file(create scripts created of a databse designed in MS SQL Server 2005). The file was imported into Oracle APEX 3.10 but we are unable to execute the script. Please suggest alternatives as to how we can import these files.
Thanks in advance.

You likely need to migrate the database (objects and data). This is not so easy and you should have a look to migration tools: http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/07-sep/o57sql.html.

do you have any idea about how to call sql files in pl sql then ?No you can't call an sql*plus file in Pl/sql.
What you can do in SQl*plus is someting like this:

How to execute a sql file inside a plsql file?

It's easy to exec a plsql inside a sql. Simply

Doesn't work. Even though @ is different from start in this case but it just doesn't like the way sql and plsql are mixed. For example:
DECLARE n NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
select COUNT(*) INTO n from user_tab_partitions;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Number of partitioned tables = ' || to_char(n));
if n = 0 then
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('createViewsProcs.sql');
@createViewsProcs.sql
else
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('createPartitionViewsProcs.sql');
@createPartitionViewsProcs.sql
end of;
END;
SQL> @postimp.sql

Hi Marie,
as Matthew says, the only part of the code that could result in that error is the select into statement. This is because, in pl/sql, a select into statement is expected to return one row only. If it returns no rows it raises a no data found exception and if it returns more than one row it raises a too many rows error.
If it is acceptable that this query may return no rows, then you have to handle this situation. The two methods that you can use would be firstly to use a named cursor and fetch a row from this, if there is no data then it does not raise an exception. The other method would be to put in an exception handler around the select statement.
EG - prefered, mainly because I think it is better to code in a way that minimises exception handling.
declare
   l_file_comments IMM_DOCUMENTS.FILE_COMMENTS%type;
   l_file           IMM_DOCUMENTS.FILE_BLOB%type;

Any ideas how to execute a .sql file on database server from java?

Any ideas how to execute a xyz.sql file (which is fisically on
database server) from java?
thanks

Try
sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

You can try running this script (PUPBLD.SQL) manually, but I never saw this going wrong. Something has gone wrong, which will most likely give more errors later on.
Did you run the scripts in the correct order with the correct user:

dbowner.sql - as sysdba
XXddl.sql - as sysdba
psroles.sql - as system

Executing .sql file in oracle using php

Hello friends
I am converting the oracle form into web application.
My requirement is to execute a .sql file when i click on a button in the html form.
What i need to do is when the user click on the button then the sql+ window shoudl open up and a file located on the server should get executed.
Please note i have to do this in php. If any other alternative is there for this requirement then that also is welcomed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Vinod

The thing is i am using
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Product
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
I am connecting to the DATABASE using
the below php code
=========================
<?php
if (!ini_get('display_errors')) {
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
PutEnv("ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/");
PutEnv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server//lib -L/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server//lib -lclntsh");
$dbstr ="(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX)(PORT = XXXX))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
if(!@($conn = oci_connect('SYSTEM','passwordString',$dbstr)))
print_r(ocierror());
else
echo "connected succesfully";
exit;
?>
========================
I am able to connect the database and ececute query and fetch the results.
Now one file will be present in some directory on the server let say abc.sql
Now i need to execute that file and display the output to the user by means of php code.
So please provide me the detailed step on how to get this done.
Thanks
