Running SQL scripts from a unix directory

DB version: 11.2
os Version : Solaris 5.10
We have a set of scripts used by DBAs for displaying Tablespace free space info, file size info...etc
Currently these .sql files (say free_Space.sql) are stored in directory /u02/dba_scripts/ . To execute these scripts a dba has to navigate to this directory and then login to sql* plus and from there execute it like
SQL > @free_Space.sqlI've recently come across an environment where you can login to SQL*Plus from any directory and you can execute scripts like above from any directory . How is this possible? What settings should i set for this?

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

Is it Possible to Run SQL Script from Java prog

Hello
Is there any API by which we can run SQl Script file ,
Just by giving database configration parameters and SQL Script file Path ,it will execute that script automatically

You can excute SQL statemetns throught JDBC, but that doesn't have a facility to read those statements from a file. You'd have to write code to read the file and create and execute statements through JDBC. That should be pretty straightforward though.
It's conceivable that there's a third party library out there that does it, if you know what to look for.
If you're not familiar with JDBC, check out http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Database/JDBC20Intro/

Running SQL scripts from CF server

Hi,
I'm new to ColdFusion, but not to database or web
development. I'm wondering if there's anyway I can run a SQL script
on a database from my CF server. I'm running CF 5 on a 2003 Windows
server with a couple Oracle 9i DBs on the backend. I want to move
data from one DB to the other, but can't use a DB link between the
two, so a colleague suggested using CF to migrate the data. Is this
possible?
Thanks

It's possible. For each db, cold fusion needs a connection
and sufficient permissions.

Run SQL Script from a a Batch File

I'm trying to schedulling a SQL Script by Windows Scheduler:
START
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\dtexec.exe" /FILE "C:\Users\tstjs\TESTESTESTES.sql" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EWCDI
PAUSE
However, when I run the batch file it giving the error below:
...sql" due to error 0xC00CE556 "Invalid at the top level of the document. Line 1, Column 1". This happens when loading a package and the file cannot be opened o r loaded correctly into an XML document. This can be the result of either provid
ing an incorrect file name to the LoadPackage method or the XML file specified h aving an incorrect format. End Error
How can I solve that problem?
Thanks!

Run sql script from database

Is this possible in some form?
<cfquery name="name" datasource="dsn">
#query.sqlstatement#</cfquery>

Yes, if you mean creating a query as a string, then using
that in a cfquery. Usually you would need to enclose the query text
within a PreserveSingleQuotes() function if you have parameters
that are enclosed within single quotes, something like this
<cfquery name="name" datasource="dsn">
#PreserveSingleQuotes(sqlstatement)#
</cfquery>

Where to running SQL Scripts after install of ODAC for Oracle Client?

I just installed ODAC for Oracle Client on a windows server, that runs a sql server database, for developers to connect a web app to an Oracle/Unix database. The install states to run SQL scripts located in the $ORACLE_HOME\ASP.NET\SQL directory after the install. I'm not sure where to run them? On the ORACLE DB on the Unix server? If someone could bring me up to speed I would appreciate it. Thanks.

If I do run the scripts, do you know what user they should be run as? The developer are using ASP.NET for connectivity.
Why there is no Oracle Expert answer this simple question? ?
After ODAC 11.1.0.7.20 installation completed, there is a message in the last screen:
*"Run the SQL script located in c:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\client_1\ASP.NET\SQL directory for a new installation or an upgrade of Oracle Providers for ASP.NET"*
The question is: How to run these 9 SQL scripts ?
In SQL*Plus, which oracle user should I connect to in order to run these 9 scrips, including:
InstallAllOracleASPNETProviders.sql
InstallOracleASPNETCommon.sql
InstallOracleMembership.sql
InstallOraclePersonalization.sql
InstallOracleProfile.sql
InstallOracleRoles.sql
InstallOracleSessionState.sql
InstallOracleSiteMap.sql
InstallOracleWebEvents.sql

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.
