SQL*Plus,Worksheet & Server Manager Can't Recognize Commands

Whenever I (or a script)use SQL*Plus commands (such as PROMPT, ACCEPT, or HELP) I get "ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement".
What is wrong with my installation? Or what might I be doing wrong? Everything else works fine (such as connectivity & normal SQL).
I'm running Server 7.3.4 on NT.
Thanks.

hi,
thanks it works.
But i have also downgraded java from 1.6.0_07 to 1.5.0_16. With java 1.6.0_07 i get the
failure every minutes. It's not possible to change exit an restart sql developer every 2
minutes.

SQL*Plus Worksheet formating

I have Oracle Client 8.1.7 installed in my computer, and I can't
seem to have the desired output format with the SQL*Plus
worksheet.
I have a database where the tables have several column, and most
of these columns are text with 1024 characters length. I set the
linesize to a huge number (say 3000), the trim and trimspool on,
and I get the results ok.
But, when I want to do a select from a table which is much
smaller, the worksheet is always writing the complete linesize...
Is there a way to display the columns according to the size they
actually have (e.g. defined by the longest element) that is
always valid. I mean without having to set column options for
each table.
Thank you in advance.
Ana

The column width sizing rules are a little opaque. The column size is a function of things like the width that the DB thinks the column is (could be huge if a SQL function is being selected), the column name or heading width, the linesize (for very wide columns), any global format (e.g. SET NUMWIDTH), or the explicit COLUMN FORMAT.
For consistency and portability I'd always recommend using an explicit COLUMN FORMAT. You can never tell if someone is going to run your report after previously setting a COLUMN FORMAT of the same name. Or a new database version may come out where the default datatype of a SQL function has changed. In the past this has happened when CHARs became the longer VARCHAR2s.
I don't think Enterprise Manager's SQL Worksheet (a simplistic interface that just calls SQL*Plus in the background) is doing anything special for formatting. So COLUMN FORMAT will work fine.

Cancel runnning SQL in SQL*Plus Worksheet?

Hi,
can I Cancel a runnning SQL in SQL*Plus Worksheet?
Thanks
Markus

Probably not in current versions.
SQL*Plus Worksheet is just a Java wrapper around
command-line SQL*Plus. I recall the EM team were keen
to see a cancelling feature in 10g, which is one of the
reasons EM 10g will call iSQL*Plus.
The iSQL*Plus web interface has had cancel for a few versions
already. It has a button specially for that.
(For reference, the EM forum is at Enterprise Manager

Connection Via SQL*Plus Worksheet

Dear Friends,
I have a peculiar problem. I am connecting via 9i client to a oracle 8i server.
I could manage to access the database via 9i client's EM and SQL scratch pad. But I am unable to connect via SQL*plus worksheet.
I got this error
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
While I test the service name via Oracle Net manager, it is successful.
Anybody could shed some light.
Regards
Kumar

Enterprise Manager still has SQL*Plus Worksheet. See:

SQL*Plus Worksheet DEFINE command

**I hope this is the correct place to put this, I don't see a forum for SQL*Plus Worksheet.**
I am having some trouble with SQL*Plus Worksheet. The following call to a package works fine,
EXECUTE package_name.procedure_name ('string_name');where it is required that my argument passed to the procedure needs the quotes as part of the string. However, when I try to use a variable instead of hardcoding the 'string_name' value, ie
DEFINE string_name = 'string_name';
EXECUTE package_name.procedure_name (&string_name);I get an error message saying that my variable needs to be defined (the call was made passing the string w/o the quotes). How can I pass the entire string, quotes and all, to the package call? I've tried concatenating them to the variable in the DEFINE and EXECUTE commands but I can't seem to come up with the correct syntax.
Does anybody know how to do this?

Here is the current SQL*Plus Worksheet command, and output (works):
EXECUTE amanda.role_executor.drop_role ('read_only');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.So, now I try to pass the argument as a variable, instead of hardcoding the value to the call:
DEFINE role_name = 'read_only';
EXECUTE amanda.role_executor.drop_role (&read_only);
BEGIN amanda.role_executor.drop_role (read_only); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 39:
PLS-00201: identifier 'READ_ONLY' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignoredAs you can see when I try to pass the string as a variable the single quotes get lost. How can I concatenate the single quotes to the string? I've tried everything I can think of but apparently Worksheet doesn't like the || symbols.

SQL*PLUS Worksheet Width

I'm (bery) new to Oracle. I'm trying to figure out how to make the output results of a select statement in SQL*Plus Worksheet not wrap. Is there a way to do this?
Thank you
JohnD

hi friends,
I have used SET LINESIZE 1000 to increase width and display all column details in a row.
But now it is not scrolling till the last column details displayed on screen.Suppose there are 12 columns in my table and i could see only 8 which are displayed on my screen.
How can i scroll to right till the last column?
Thank you,
Regards,

SQL*Plus Worksheet in Personal Oracle 8.1.6

Why does a select query in SQL*Plus Worksheet not return any results, but the same query in SQLPLUS or TOAD does?
I am using the version that comes with Personal Oracle8i for NT (Oracle 8.1.6). Version of Enterprise Manager is 2.1.0.1.0.
Database is Oracle8i Enterprise 8.1.5.

What is the query you have given?
Is it happening for all the queries or only for this one.
Please reply.

Cleaning screen at SQL*PLUS Worksheet

Is there any simple command, macro or magical trick to clean the lower screen? (the one were you can not write and displays the data from your selects, prompts, ORA-errors, etc...)
thanks

Ok, I thought that clear button would clear only the upper screen, but if I click and focus with the mouse at the lower screen it will clean the lower screen.
Thanks
PD: Yes I was talking about SQL*PLUS Worksheet, not SQLPLUS

Using variables in SQL Plus Worksheet

I'm new to Oracle. I've developed in MS SQL for some time. I'm trying to debug a query we're using in an application. I paste it into SQL Plus Worksheet and get the message:

I could paste in a value, but I would like to define a variable before the query so that it will work the same way as it would in production.

Is the SQL * Plus Worksheet included in the Oracle 10g Express Edition?

Hello All,
I need to install Oracle 10g for a SQL class that I will be taking this year. I will be installing it in my laptop (Pentium 4, 1GB RAM). I was told by the Professor that I needed to have the SQL*Plus Worksheet. I would like to know which version of Oracle do I need to install, and If it includes the SQL*Plus Worksheet.
This is my first time working & installing Oracle, so I would appreciate if anyone could guide me thru this process.
Thanks a lot,
Ed

No, it is not included.
However, the same functionality, and more, is in Oracle SQL Developer - also available free and download-able from the same area as Oracle Express Edition.
Ask your prof why he want Worksheet. If it's only for the ability to scroll and correct previous SQL (eg: easier time correcting mistakes), and loading scripts, ask if SQL Developer would be allowed. It's much superior and allows you to use XE, which will not sink your laptop like the EE version will.

SQL*Plus Worksheet Question

I just upgraded to 8.1.6 and started using SQLPlus worksheet. Is there away to set output screen to display horizontal instead of vertical?
Thank you in Advance
null

In some client version (8.1.5 or 8.1.6), I remember I had the same problem. I think that the solution is to use or not the semi-column at th end of the command.
But, remember that Java SQL*Plus Worksheet is using SQL*Plus. Then if U have a lot of results to display, it's longer with the worksheet version.

I have the exact same problem. Have you had any luck yet? Did you apply any kernel parameter changes/tuning yet? How much physical memory do you have on you oralce box? I have 128M. Please let me know if you solve this one.

changing the env variable at dos prompt will not change it for other processes. It will be changed
only while the dos prompt window is running. to change it permanently, you need to right click on
My Computer" icon and go to properties -> Advance Options. and change the environment values there.
