Executing multiple scripts with error reporting where necessary.

Question

Hi,
I'm a developer using SQL developer to create scripts for Tables / Views / Procs. I'm relatively new to Oracle, as I've been using SQL server mostly. So please bear with me.
Now, the dev team constantly upset the dba due to subtle syntax issues between SQL Developer and SQL+. So, what we are now meant to do is test our scripts via SQL+ on the understanding that if it works with that it's good.
However, you DBAs know that developers don't always do what they are told :).
Hence, I have been tasked each morning to run all the scripts to make sure they are ok.
I know I can execute multiple scrips easily like this....
@c:\Scripts\Table1
@c:\Scripts\Table2
@c:\Scripts\Proc1
@c:\Scripts\Proc2
etc
However, this seems to echo all the contents of the scripts in the output window. So it's a bit of a task to trawl through the output to see if there are any errors.
What I would really like to do is as above, but rather than echoing the script contents, just provide output to say that each object (tables / views / procs) has been created correctly, or if an error occurred, output the relevant object name and the error.
eg - If Table2 DDL has errors, output along the lines of....
Table1 created successfully.
Error creating Table2: <Invalid data type>
Proc1 created successfully.
Error creating Proc2:<Object Table2 does not exist>
Is this possible?
Example pretty please.
Ultimately, I'd like to email the output automatically - however, that's a task for another day :).
Many thanks
DC

I'm not sure what you mean by "echo all the contents of the scripts in the output window". If I create a script a.sql
drop table a;
create table a ( col1 number );
drop table b;
create table b ( col1 number );
drop table c;
-- Note the error in the definition of c
create table c ( 123 number ); and run it in a vanilla SQL*Plus session, I get the output you appear to be looking for
SQL> @c:\temp\a.sql
Table dropped.
Table created.
Table dropped.
Table created.
drop table c
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
create table c ( 123 number )
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: : invalid identifierAre you looking for something different? Or are you getting different results?
