I have a sql file. I have various create table statements in it.
I want to execute only the desired create table statemnets.
How can i do so?

@/tab.sql would execute all the statemnets.

Ok that is one way. But do we have any command that could select and execute the desired tables among severals.

Lets suppose i have a tab.sql file that has create table statements.

I know the names of the table in tab.sql.
I want to select the tables by there names.For example

tab.sql file has 5 create table statements table a,b,c,d,e
I want to execute the create table statement of a and d.
How could i do it in linux.

@/tab.sql would execute all the statements

@/tab.sql is not a Linux command.

Shocked This is bad.
Ok if not at os level but in sql level.

Thanks

Well, you have some options that could work:

1. FTP the file over to windows and it there.
2. If a GUI is installed on the Linux box edit it under the GUI where you can copy/paste in the text editor (kedit, kate, xedit, ....) like you do in windows
3. copy/paste within vi with the vi commands.
4. split the one tab.sql into single tab_tableX.sql files and execute only the ones you want.
5. Change the pure SQL into an pl/sql procedure which uses an command line parameter and a if-loops to select the tables.
6. Write some sort of shell script to execute the sql statements based on command line parameters. PERL might come in handy there.

1) or 4) could be accomplished fastest, I think.

But there is no easy one-command solution.

If you can't explain us which tables are the good among the list, how could tell to the machine which are the good ones?
