Hi,
Here's an example of a SQL*Plus script.
Use any text editor to create a file (let's call it aug_6.sql) that contains all the statements you want to execute in order, like this:
--      *****  Begin aug_6.sql  *****
CREATE SEQUENCE rownum_incrementing INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1;
CREATE SEQUENCE increment_order_num INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1000;
Insert into orders_main(order_num,order_date,sapak_num,status) values (increment_order_num.nextval, sysdate, '12','new3');
Insert into orders_details(row_num,order_num,item_num,quantity) values
(rownum_incrementing.NextVal,
( select max(order_num) from orders_main) ,'14','40');
Insert into delivery_main
values (increment_del_num.nextval
,(select max(order_num) from orders_main)
, sysdate
, (select sapak_num from orders_main where order_num = ( select max(order_num) from orders_main)));
--      *****  End aug_6.sql  *****Note that I made a lot of changes in what you posted, because there seemed to be a lot of mistakes. (See list below.)
Once you have saved the file, you can run it in SQL*Plus by referring to the full path name of the file:
SQL> @c:\aaa\bbb\aug_6This is very useful if you have to do the exact same thing more than once (for example, if you are going to create the same sequences and INSERT the same data in your development database, then in your test database, and finally in your production database).
Here are a few things for you to watch:
(a) "Query" means "SELECT statement". Use "SQL Statement" if you're talking about any kind of SQL command (including CREATE SEQUENCE and INSERT).
(b) Every SQL statement must end with a semicolon (;) or slash (/).
(c) Make sure single-quotes always occur in pairs.
(d) Make sure parentheses occur in pairs, every "(" followed by a ")".
(e) Don't use strings to refer to numbers, or vice cersa. For example, if the columns item_num and quantity in the table orders_dtails are NUMBERs, then give them NUMBER values (without quotes) like 14 and 40, not string values like '14' and '40'.
(f) As part of a larger statement, you can simply use
SYSDATE
instead of the scalar sub-query
(SELECT SYSDATE FROM dual)
