Running nested scripts in "Display only mode"

Question

Hi,
I have a deployment script that calls scripts nested. Is it possible to run these having e.g echo set on in order to display everything being executed, without actually executing it against the database?
Hope my question makes sense
Regards
Peter

Answer 1

What you could try is to disconnect before running them, then each statement will failed with "Not connected"
disconnect
set echo on
@c:/download/utlsampl
SQL> disconnect
Disconnected from Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.2.0.8.0 - Production
SQL> set echo on
SQL> @c:/download/utlsampl
SQL> DROP TABLE LSC_EMP CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;
SP2-0640: Not connected
SQL> DROP TABLE LSC_DEPT CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;
SP2-0640: Not connected
SQL>
SQL> CREATE TABLE LSC_DEPT
  2  (
  3     DEPTNO INTEGER constraint DEPTNO_NOT_NULL NOT NULL,
  4     DNAME  VARCHAR(14),
  5     LOC    VARCHAR(13)
  6  );
SP2-0640: Not connected
SQL>
SQL> alter table LSC_DEPT add constraint DEPT_PRIMARY_KEY primary key (DEPTNO);
SP2-0640: Not connectedHTH
