Hi,

I have two scripts (test1.sql and test2.sql) that need to be executed one after the other. I would like to call them both using a single command line:

sqlplus testuser/testpwd@testdb @c:\test1.sql @c:\test2.sql

This does not work Sad

Any ideas? creating a test3.sql script that calls test1.sql and test2.sql is not an option

thanks

It isn't? Why not? It is the most straightforward solution.

Or, you might copy the whole code from "test2.sql" and put it at the end of "test1.sql".

According to SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference
SQLPLUS un/pw @file_name
@file_name
Documentation
Specifies the name of a script
(not scripts).

Call test2.sql from test1.sql
If you rule out all the ordinary options, you will be left with none.

thank you for your answers

@Michel, this seems to be exactly what i need.
However i get the following error : "<< was unexpected at this time"
Is this a UNIX command? i'm using windows, is there something similar?

The somewhat similar Windows way would be :

(
echo @c:\test1.sql 
echo @c:\test2.sql 
) | sqlplus testuser/testpwd@testdb

Yes and this is the reason you MUST post your OS.
See Thomas' answer for Windows.

Thanks TomasG but your code doesn't seem to work. I get "sp2-0024 Nothing to change" error. Is the code suppose to work exactly as is or should i adapt anything?

That must seems to be an error inside your scripts.

Oracle Error : SP2-0024 Nothing to change

Cause        : There was nothing in the SQL buffer when 
               using the CHANGE command.

Action       : Make sure the SQL buffer is not empty before 
               using the CHANGE command.


Since we don't know your scripts, and you didn't even post the exact session that threw the error, you have to debug it yourself.

my test script is as follow:

declare
test varchar(50);
begin
select 'test' into test from dual;
dbms_output.put_line(test);
end;
/


test1.sql = test2.sql

launched individually the scripts work fine... how do I find the session that throws the error? I'm in the command prompt, I execute your code, sqlplus starts, then trows the error then disconnects and i return to the command prompt.

Thanks again for your help

The session is what you do in the command prompt.

For example I have run your test.sql with my test.cmd, and it works : (with an additional "set serverout on" so that we actually SEE the dbms_output :

U:\>test.cmd

U:\>(
echo set serverout on
 echo @u:\test.sql
 echo @u:\test.sql
)  | sqlplus user/pass@testdb

Hi,
Please tell me in the below mentioned script provided by ThomasG
(
echo @c:\test1.sql
echo @c:\test2.sql
) | sqlplus testuser/testpwd@testdb

How do i display message before every compilation. I tried as:
(
PROMPT Compiling test1.sql
echo @c:\test1.sql
PROMPT Compiling test2.sql
echo @c:\test2.sql
) | sqlplus testuser/testpwd@testdb

But It doesn't displays PROMPT message instead just compiles and exits.

Thanks
SK

Open command prompt and type:
c:\> help prompt
c:\> help echo
Hopefully, you'll notice a difference.

Hi,
@Littlefoot
I put PROMPT in the script as i think it will run when it connects to sqlplus.
I tried by putting
(
echo Compiling test1.sql
echo @c:\test1.sql
echo Compiling test2.sql
echo @c:\test2.sql
) | sqlplus testuser/testpwd@testdb
but i am getting the below mentioned error:
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "Compiling ..." - rest of line ignored.

Well, you need to provide SQL statement to ECHO if you want it to be executed properly. Here's an example (A.BAT); TEST1.SQL selects number of records from the EMP table, while TEST2.SQL returns SYSDATE.
(
 echo select 'compiling test1.sql' from dual;
   echo @test1.sql
 echo select 'compiling test2.sql' from dual;
   echo @test2.sql
) | sqlplus scott/tiger


Its execution:
C:\>a

C:\>(
echo select 'compiling test1.sql' from dual;
 echo @test1.sql
 echo select 'compiling test2.sql' from dual;
 echo @test2.sql
)  | sqlplus scott/tiger

Hi,
@Littlefoot

Actually, I received a message from BlackSwan regarding forum guidelines so was formatting my message.

I read your reply.

Thanks a lot it solved my purpose.

Great! Now, you can play with SQL*Plus' SET command to make it prettier (for example, remove column heading and such).
