Executing .sql file, path problem,help!

Hi, could anyone tell me that how to change the default .sql file running path in Oracle 8?
I am running Oracle 8 resides on IBM AIX server. i found that under SQL prompt, the default .sql file running path is my home directory,e.g./home/user01,so i have to save all .sql files under that directory....could anyone tell me how to modify the default path to other directories.e.g,/home/user01/sql, so i could collect all .sql files under a specified directory?
Many thanks

How to execute .sql file in Stored Procedure?

Hi,
I have an urgent requirement, where i have to execute .sql file form Stored Procedure.
This .sql file will have set of update statement. I need to pass value to this update statement.
Kindly please help me.
Regards,
Irfan

This is required as part of Data Migration where i have to do 100 of table's update. Each time update table will defer, so its better to have in separate script file (.sql). Can u paste some sample/syntax to exceute .sql file from stored procedure. I am new to this PL/SQL.
How have you determined that it's "better" to have seperate scripts? I assume you mean the table name will "differ" (and not "defer" - I assume that's just because English isn't your first language? no problem - I think I understand what you're asking).
So what I think you're asking is that you have dynamic table names but each table needs to be updated in the same way?
Question: Why do you have tables with different names that all need the same process doing to them?
Assuming it's a valid requirement (and 99% of the time doing dynamic coding implies it's not).... you could use dynamic code, rather than 'scripts'...
e.g.
create procedure update_table(tbl_name varchar2) is
begin
execute immediate 'update '||tbl_name||' set lastupdate = null';
end;
As you haven't bothered to provide a database version, any example code/data or explanation of what you're actually doing, you're not going to get any detailed answer. Please do take the time to read the FAQ and post appropriate details so people can help you.

How to execute .sql file using ODI

Hi All,
I need to execute .sql file using ODI.
I tried @{path}{file} command in ODI procedure selecting oracle technology.but it is failing.
Do any one have any other idea to execute .sql file.
Thanks in advance

Ohk...I think you can try creating batch file(.bat) if its Windows & call that from ODIOSCommand.
The bat file should contain scripts which call .sql file using sqlplus & there you can use @{path}{file} format.
See if this helps.

First of all, to troubleshoot the problem it would help to put some filepath indicators at each point so that you can see what is going on. Also, in your exe having an error dialog "Simple Error Handler.vi" to let you know what LabVIEW didn't like in the exe.
Now, when you run a top level ("Main.vi") and use the "Current VI's Path " in the development mode it returns <Filepath>\"Current path"\Main.vi. So stripping once will get you to <Filepath>\"Current path" . Now if you make it into an exe the "Current VI's Path" returns <Filepath>\"Current path"\"Name.exe"\Main.vi so you are "nested" one deeper.
I use the following construct to determine whether the vi is being used as in the development environment or as an exe, the parse the path accordingly, although in this instance it is used to supply different directory names to a little more complex file system.

How to execute .sql file

hi,
i want to execute .sql files in sql plus from a fixed location whether it may be network location or from system drive. so that i can use it from other computers when i will be working on different pc.
so please tell me for network location solution and from drive. by default it fetch from BIN directory
i am using oracle 10g.
thanks

Hi FRNzzz!! wrote:
if the .sql files are placed on some network place then also i just need to put the path of that directory ? Sure. You can either set up a desktop shortcut for SQL*Plus using the remote folder as the "Start in" location, or (what I usually do) drag the script file into your SQL*Plus window.

I'd check to ensure that you have the latest versions of the
WebAssist extensions as this may have been fixed. I seem to recall
seeing this issue when the primary browser (from Dreamweaver's
perspective, the one that F12 or preview in browser opens up) is
not open when the help is accessed. Try having your browser open
and then access the help.

How to execute sql files with windows path ?

Hi , here's my stupid question :
I have my parent SQL script say A.sql in directory C:\program files\my files\A.sql
A.sql has calls to multiple sql files like this
@@1.sql;
@@2.sql;
When I call A.sql using sqlplus as:
sqlplus <username> <connection_string> @"C:\program files\my files\A.sql"
A.sql gets executed but then while calling "1.sql" it fails with the error
SP2-0310: unable to open file "C:\program.sql"
This is happening because of the space, how can this be handled. thx in advance :)
Regards,
Neuron

my A.sql is:
@@1.sql
@@2.sql
1.sql and 2.sql are in the same directory as A.sql.
sqlplus <username> <connection_string> @"C:\program files\my files\A.sql"
VG2,
Yes. Specify the entire path/filename and put double quotes around itA.sql has the double quotes around it, however what additional things can be done so that 1.sql and 2.sql which are present in same directory as A.sql also runs.
Ashish,
Yes the assumption is correct. Although when I cd to this directory then this issue won't come for sure.
But the requirement is you can't 'cd' to the directory and want to execute with complete path.
There is no issues in Solaris as the space is not allowed.

Some body can Help Me???
Thank You very much

SQL*Plus is generally the preferred tool to execute a .sql file-- that's what it is designed for. Assuming that your users all install SQL*Plus, you could call out to the command line and invoke that app with the .sql file, then parse the output.
The other option would be to read in the .sql file in your application, parse it, and send the individual PL/SQL blocks to the database.

EXECUTE sql file in an procedure,just like sql prompt.

Hi,
I am using ORACLE 11g on an AIX box.
Just to explain first :- Assume we have an .sql file in which i have 20 DML statements. Like 10 inserts,5 updates and 5 deletes. Now if i want to run this file in any particular DB , the best thing for one file i can do is .. simply go to the prompt i.e. SQL> on that DB and run that file :-
SQL>@/oracle/scripts/metadata_update.sql
just this will execute the whole file. Also here i can spool and keep the log of execution.
Now i want the same functionality but this time their are many files and and i have to run them on different DB's.
Can anyone suggest me some code in which if i pass the filename and the DB's name .. it should execute in that DB and create a log file in the same directory as the sql file.
Something like procedure, which will take file name and DB name as parameter
and then we will read file using UTL_FILE
and then go to the destination DB with the help of TNSENTRIES we have.
execute it and store the log for the same.
Please suggest some sample code or ideas.
thanks in advance.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems are viewed as nails.
While a hammer is a GREAT tool, it is suboptimal to divide 1 board into 2 pieces
sqlplus user/pass@remote1 @new_script.sql
sqlplus user/pass@remote2 @new_script.sql
sqlplus user/pass@remote3 @new_script.sql
sqlplus user/pass@remote4 @new_script.sql

Execute sql file from forms

Hello, how is it possible to execute a sql file from forms without using sqlplus, because we have only the forms runtime on our pc.
We can't use forms_ddl because we have a very big sql script for creating a package.
Please help,
GJ

Strange, whenever I have installed forms I got sqlplus too without asking for it. If it is not installed, wouldn't your best bet be to install it ?
