We are in process of getting the Oracle Object DDL using DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL and executing in SQLPLUS for schema optimization process. DDL is extracted with following session setting.

Quote:

dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform, 'PRETTY', TRUE)
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform, 'SQLTERMINATOR', TRUE )
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform, 'SEGMENT_ATTRIBUTES', TRUE)
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform, 'STORAGE', FALSE)
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform, 'TABLESPACE', FALSE)
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform, 'FORCE', TRUE )
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform, 'CONSTRAINTS', TRUE)
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform, 'REF_CONSTRAINTS', FALSE)
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform, 'CONSTRAINTS_AS_ALTER', TRUE)
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform, 'SIZE_BYTE_KEYWORD', TRUE )





We are getting three types of space related issues during DDL genaration . And because of these , these DDL scripts are not working well with SQLPLUS . ( sometimes works good with Toad)

1. SQLTERMINATOR ( ; ) along with ')' is coming after additional space for table's DDL Probably after comment like instruction.

like

CREATE TABLE T1 
( f1 varchar2(10),
  f2 varchar2(20) --> f2 is field 2 of table T1

 );


SQL*PLUS creates issue while executing it.

2. SQLTERMINATOR (/)is coming along the same line of 'END;'

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P1 
AS
BEGIN
 NULL;
END;/


Here '/' Come in the same line of 'END;' . So while executing in SQLPLUS its not created properly.

3. Unnecessary space for VIEW DDL . ( eg between UNION )

Create Force View V1 as
Select col1,col2 from  t1 

union

Select col1,col2 from  t2;


This seems to create error in SQLPLUS but works well with TOAD. Is there any setting to restrict it ?

Issues 2 and 3 seems to create more issues as of now .

Any suggestion how to tackle?
Even wants to know whether there are any settings in SQLPLUS to rectify it .

What is your Oracle version with 4 decimals?

What you posted is the original creation statements or the ones you get? In the latter, post the original ones.

Thanks for the response .

Oracle version is 10.2.0.1.0.

I am helpless to post the original code as

1. It is the Test database with original application structure
2. The Procedures are too long to read.

I hope posted create scripts describes the problem in detail.
Forgot to mention . These problems come only for some specific objects (200 out of 4k+ objects) . And even not able to reproduce .

@Micheal ,

Well, Are you pretty sure this issue will be solved in 10.2.0.4 ?
If so , this is a bug in early versions.

Anyway I am trying to rectufy it by using REPLACE .
Seems satisfactory as of now.

Absolutely not but as you can't reproduce it this is safer way.
