How to execute sql from table

For a migration I have created a sql script that puts the full statement to be executed in a specific table column
I'm now looking for a way how to execute those statements.
Table structure like: oldName, newName, sqlStatement, id, otherField, otherField2
Instead of the full statement(sqlStatement) it would also be possible to use the oldName, newName and id field if that simplifies the problem.
The reason for building the statement and running that one is a) to validate upfront b) a self join is applied to the query result table to prevent some items for update.
The initial idea was to take the sql statements and execute them as a sql script but that process is pretty slow.

Data is often distinguished from programs. A program is a sequence of instructions that detail a task for the computer to perform. In this sense, data is thus everything that is not program code.

Executing sql from table with in plsql procedure

I wonder if anyone can help.
I have a table that stores sql statements. They are actually a set of rules that I want to apply to my application. My intention is to execute the statement in plsql.
EG a sql statment held in the table might be:
'select count(id) from item where item_id = ' || constants_pkg.c_test_item || ' and client_id = ' || client_id_in
I am trying to call this from a plsql procedure, Ive CUT OUT some of the procedure task_rec.rule holds the statement above. The procedure is failing invalid SQL statement, I think the client_id_in may not be evaluating as the variable, passed into the procedure and constants_pkg.c_test_item not being taken from the constants pkg.
EG.
PROCEDURE create_additional_info_list(
client_id_in IN client.id%TYPE,
IS
result VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
task_rec.rule
INTO result;
END;
If I was to do below the code would work ok. However I require the rule to come from the table.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'select count(id) from item where item_id = ' || constants_pkg.c_test_item || ' and client_id = ' || client_id_in
INTO result;
Is there anyway constants_pkg.c_test_item and client_id_in can be evaluated as variables?

Not that I've tried this but, if possible, change the SQL in the table to have bind variable; e.g.,
'select count(id) from item where item_id = :1 and client_id = :2 ';
Then in the procedure
execute immediate task
INTO result
USING constants_pkg.c_test_item ,
client_id_in ;

How to execute sql scripts from Powershell across multiple databases

Re: How to execute sql scripts from Powershell across multiple databases
I have an tsql script that I want to run across a list of databases. How is the best way to do this in Powershell? Thanks.

My example below, using just the SMO and not breaking up the batches, the ExecuteWithResults give the following error when the .sql file contains a GO. My script files are as simple as a DECLARE and then a GO.

How to execute sql qurery in st05

how to execute sql qurery in st05
thanks in advanced.

Hi,
do this....
1.create a small ABAP/4 program that contains only the select statement. Before proceeding, test it to ensure that it works.
2.Open that program in the editor so that it is ready and waiting to execute.
3.Open a new session using the menu path System->Create session.
4.Run transaction ST05 (enter /nst05-zero-five, not oh-five-in the Command field, or choose the menu path System->Utilities->SQL Trace). The Trace SQL Database Requests screen is displayed.
5.If the Trace SQL Status Information box reads Trace SQL is switched off, go to step 7.
6.At this point, the Trace SQL Status Information box contains Trace SQL switched on by, followed by the user id who turned on the trace and the date and time it was started. You must switch it off before you can proceed. If the trace was started within the past hour, it is possible that it is still being used. Contact the indicated user or try again later. If the trace was started hours or days ago, the user probably left it on by mistake and it can be safely turned off. To turn off the trace, press the Trace Off pushbutton. The message in the Trace SQL Status Information box should now read Trace SQL is switched off.
7.Press the Trace On pushbutton. The Trace SQL Database Requests dialog box is displayed. The DB-Trace for User field should contain your user ID. If your user ID is not in this field, enter it now.
8.Press the OK button. You are returned to the Trace SQL Database Requests screen and the status information reads Trace SQL switched on by, indicating that you turned on the trace.
9.Switch back to the window containing your editor session (the one with your program waiting to execute).
10.Press F8 to run your program. (Only press F8, do not do anything else, do not even press the Back button.)
11.When your program has run and the hourglass is no longer displayed, switch back to the trace window.
12.Press the Trace Off pushbutton. The status information reads Trace SQL is switched off.
13.Press the List Trace pushbutton. The Trace SQL Database Requests dialog box is displayed. The fields on this screen will already contain values.
14.Press the OK button. You might need to wait a little while, at most a couple of minutes. The Trace SQL: List Database Requests screen is displayed.
15.Type %sc in the Command field and press the Enter key. The Find dialog box is displayed.
16.Type the name of the table you are tracing in the Search For field. (This is the table named in the select statement in your ABAP/4 program.)
17.Press the Find button. A search results list should be displayed with your table name highlighted.
18.Click on the first highlighted table name. You are returned to the Trace SQL: List Database Requests screen. Your cursor is positioned on the first line containing your table name. To the right of it, in the Operation column, should be the word PREPARE, OPEN, or REOPEN.
19.Press the Explain SQL button on the Application toolbar. The Show Execution Plan for SQL Statement screen is displayed.
20.Scroll down to the execution plan. The index used will be displayed in blue.

How to execute sql script from linux command line

Hello everyone !
Just short question. On my server I must install script in crontab which will eexecute some sql statements.
How can I write command which will execute script from file without asking about password ?
sqlplus user/pass ... and then what ?
thanks

On newer cron versions, you can add an environment to the crontab file itself that needs to be set before executing the scheduled command.
Whatever method - make sure you have ORACLE_HOME set, that the path includes ORACLE_HOME/bin, that ORACLE_SID is set (if not using a TNS alias) and so on.
But I agree with Sybrand... crontab is not the best place for running SQL or PL/SQL code. That should reside in the database as named code (e.g. stored procs) and be executed via DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULE.
Less moving parts that way. No external dependancies. And will work on any Oracle server, irrespective of the o/s used and whether or not the relevant o/s user has batch/cron/etc privs to do the deed.

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 whitn dos

i don't know how to execute one text.sql(exemple one procedure) with MsDos.
thanks

friend
i think you can execute a script from the MS DOS prompt like this . you need to write the script in a text file like the
example i have used below.
create a text file called t.sql with content as
create table test_today(n number);
exit
Run the following command at MSDOS prompt to execute the script
sqlplus -s username/password@connect_string @t.sql
the above script will create a table called test_today and u can see the output as table_created on the screen
if u want to suppress the feedback just put the following line as first line in the script t.sql
SET FEEDBACK OFF
hope this helps you
thanks & regards

How to copy sql database tables to oracle database

hii everybody,
i have 50 sql databse tables and i want to copy these tables into oracle database,how can i achive this?.Any help highly appreciated.
thanks.

Hi,
You haven't said if this is a one-off copy of the data or if it is comething you want to do on a regular basis.
If it is a one-off move of the data then you could use the SQL*Developer migration workbench, see here for more details -
SQL*Developer main page -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/overview/index.html
Database Migration technology -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/index-084442.html
If it is something you want to do on a regular basis then you could use a gateway to make a connection between SQL*Server and Oracle and then copy or select from the remote tables.
The following page has more detail -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/gateways/index.html
and this note if you have access to My Oracle Support -
Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products (Doc ID 1083703.1)
You could also use GoldenGate which allows real-time replication between Oracle and non-Oracle databases -
