Is it possible, and if so how, to run a file that contains SQL (a SQL script) from within a stored procedure?

Thanks
Philip

you can use DBMS_PIPE to invoke an OS command. The OS command is then to run an OS script whoich invokes sqlplus which in turn runs your script. In general an SQL script will have sql*plus specific commands like "set pagesize 56" etc resulting in SQL*plus being the only environment capable of running it.

Hi,

Look at the system_util package on this site.
It has a procedure that enables you to call
OS scripts from inside PL/SQL.
