Thom,

If your going to go to all that trouble, why not simply create a .sql file & call it on the command line.

Chuan,

What I do is the following:

set DBA_TEMP=\sometempdirectory
echo connect test/test > %DBA_TEMP%\run.sql echo alter sesion set sql_trace=true >>%DBA_TEMP%\run.sql echo select count(*) from product_temp p, invoice_temp i >> %DBA_TEMP%\run.sql
echo where p.invpsid=i.invoiceid; >>%DBA_TEMP%\run.sql echo disconnect >>%DBA_TEMP%\run.sql
echo exit >>%DBA_TEMP%\run.sql $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus /nolog @%DBA_TEMP%\run.sql

del %DBA_TEMP%\run.sql

just be aware of special characters that will not be echo'ed properly in NT scripting - thing like the | char will not work. You will need to "escape" these like this to get them to echo properly.

echo select col1^|^|col2 from sometable;

The advantage of this within NT bat files is that you can develop and use substitution characters inside the sql files. for example, if you wanted to spool a file where the name contains information from outside the Oracle session, you could do the following:

set ORACLE_SID=WTWD
echo spool %ORACLE_SID%_outfile.dat > run.sql

Hope this helps.

Hi, All,

In unix, we can put following commands in a file and run that file. For example:

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus /nolog << EOF
connect test/test
alter sesion set sql_trace=true
select count(*) from product_temp p, invoice_temp i where p.invpsid=i.invoiceid;
disconnect
exit
EOF What's the corresponding format on windows?

Your input is precious,

TIA Chuan
