You can also use the 'start' command.
You may also want to look in the SQLPlus User Guide and Reference (for your release) at the set command for commands to set the number of lines per page, turn headings on or off, and so on:

Running sqlplus scripts from Java code?

hi
I need to programmatically run sqlplus scripts from Java code on a machine that doesn't have sqlplus installed.
Is there any Java class library available for doing this?

The Ant approach could probably work for me, thanks for the tip.
The setup seems rather complex however, given the simplicity of the task. I would prefer just running a Java based SQL*Plus from in a separate process or doing this via an API that would allow me to run SQL*Plus scripts (parse script, substitute variables, run statements).
Oracle SQL Developer v1.1 appears to include an API that does exactly this.
The ScriptParser, Substitution and SQLPLUS classes in the oracle.dbtools.raptor.scriptrunner package (oracle.sqldeveloper.jar) seem to do just what I need based on my tests.
Can I use these classes for this purpose in my application? Is repackaging allowed?
Does Oracle have any plans for releasing this sort of functionality separately e.g. as part of the Instant Client?

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.

Running sql script from pl/sql

Is there any standard way to run an external sql script from pl/sql
I really appreciate any assistance.

If you want, I did start writing a function reading and executing statements out of sql script with utl_file.
can I issue this command in PL/SQL: EXECUTE IMMEDIATE '@filename.sql';
the function could be extended for DDL, session setting, etc...

Running sql scripts from different directory

Hi
I have sql scripts in different directories as follows:
D:\myapp\sql
- load.sql
- init.sql
D:\myapp\sql\schema
-users.sql
-structure.sql
D:\myapp\sql\populate\
- data1.sql
- data2/sql
load.sql call all the other scripts as below:
@init.sql
@schema\users.sql
@schema\structure.sql
@populate\data1.sql
@populate\data2.sql
All my scripts run correctly when I run load.sql from D:\myapp\sql on comand prompt.
I need a way to run this script from a different directory say D:\ or C:\
I am writing a installer which will execute from a different directory.
Right now I get a file not found error for scripts within schema an populate folder.
Please let me know how can I make this work from a different directory.
Thanks

Hi peter. i think you cannot run files spread across different locations.
--the method which u specified always looks to the defined path

Calling a SQL script from the PL/SQL block.

Hello All,
I am using oracle 11g database.
My requirment is as follows. I have a SQL script to alter the table. But before alter the table I need to test some condition , if the condition satisfy then I have to alter the table through the SQL script. For the checking the condition I have to use the plsql block and inside I need to call the SQL script.
Can I call a SQL script from PL/SQL block, if yes then how?
I am tring to use START, RUN and @ command but it is throughing error.
Thanks

[PL/SQL manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/functions55a.htm#77600] Ctrl-F start, finds nothing. [SQLPlus manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm] Ctrl-F start finds this. Isn't it wonderful that Oracle documents this stuff so we don't have to guess.
Can I call a SQL script from PL/SQL block, if yes then how? No.
You could call the stored procedure in a SQL*Plus script before the alter table and have it raise an exception if the condition is not met and have the script quit when there is an error.

How to call SQL script from PL/SQL block

Hi All,
I have a pl/sql block from which i need to call a *.sql script file.
Please tell me that how can i do this?
Thanks and Regards.

> Though just for knowledge sake, would you please tell if there is a way
to call a sql script from a pl/sql block.
This question stems usually from a confusion about client-server and which is which in Oracle.
SQL*Plus is a client. PL/SQL is a server side language. SQL is a server side language.
When entering either one of these two languages in SQL*Plus (or TOAD, SQL-Developer, etc), the content is shipped to an Oracle server process, is parsed there, and is executed there.
The Oracle server process servicing the client can accept a single SQL statement or PL/SQL block at a time.
It cannot accept a block of SQL statements delimited with a semicolon. That is a client concept where the client will read each delimited statement and send that, one after the other (in synchronous call mode) to the Oracle server for execution.
The Oracle server does not have a "script parser". It understands SQL. It understands PL/SQL. And that is what it expects from the client.
Whether the client supports the SET command, the HOST command, SPOOL command, ability to run scripts, and so... have no bearing on what the server itself is capable of doing. The server does not care what feature set the client has. It is tasked with servicing the client via SQL and PL/SQL.
It is not tasked to support or emulate client features like running SQL scripts.
Nor confuse PL/SQL with the very limited command set of SQL*Plus. The two has nothing in common. And just as PL/SQL cannot understand C# or Delphi commands, it cannot understand SQL*Plus commands.

How to load SQL scripts from a text file.

Hi, i tried several time to load a text file/SQL script with 10 different tables and data, but 10g Express doesen't allows me to do that, any one can direct me or point out to me what i should do or do i need to adopt any special method to to get this done. i am sure there must be some thing where you can upload SQL scripts from a text file (in SQL command editor!). thanks

Hi,
see my other answer here:
SQL command editor doesn't take more than 1 insert command
This seems to be a duplicate question, right? Or am I missing something?

Running SQLPLUS script from command prompt on SUN

We are making a migration from VMS to SUN ( SunOS 5.10) and from 9i to 10g. We have encountered an unanticipated problem with running scripts from the command line in SUN(SQLPLUS execution from the command line). All of our packages have a naming convention such as "DM$LOAD.PKB". I know it is a strange naming convention.
The problem is that when the package creation script is run in SQLPLUS at the command prompt SQLPLUS can not open the file.
SQL> @dm$load.pb
SP2-0310: unable to open file "dm$load.pb"
SQL> host ls
dm$load.pkb
SQL>
Setting the escape character does not seem to help.
SQL> set escape '\'
SQL>
SQL> @dm\$load.pb
SP2-0310: unable to open file "dm$load.pb"
SQL>
Unfortunately, we can not rename the scripts. This can be done from a shell script, but our Tech Services refuse to run the SQL scripts from a shell script
Any ideas on how to get SQLPLUS to run the scripts from the SUN command line?

I did not notice that the cut and paste was poor. It should have read
SQL> @dm$load.pkb
SP2-0310: unable to open file "dm$load.pkb"
SQL> host ls
dm$load.pkb
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Calling shell script from sql procedure

Hi gurus
Is it possible
1)to call a shell script from sql procedure
2)that shell script has to return one value
3)and again sql procedure(calling shell script) has to capture the return value.
please help me to write this script

You may NOT have EXECUTE privilege/ permissions on the DBMS_PIPE package. Check with your DBA.
Using DBMS_PIPE may not be that simple to implement. Just making a call to DBMS_PIPE procedure will not do anything. It will NOT trigger anything on the UNIX side.
. You will also need to :
1. Write a job (ie CRON) at UNIX side which will keep read the incoming pipe for new messages, Unpack the message and get the command to be executed at the UNIX side -- There will be a lot of work involved here + DBA presence/activity is also required.
As Justin has pointed out, try and use HOST command which is very simple or try and use Java.
