Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: help dynamically adding a 'datafile' to a script
>From the Oracle 8i SQL*Plus Guide -
Example 3-12 on pages 3-22 and 3-23, last example on the page:
3-22 SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference
If you wish to append characters immediately after a substitution =
variable, use a
period to separate the variable from the character. For example:
SQL> SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO=3D'&X.01';
Enter value for X: 123
is interpreted as
SQL> SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO=3D'12301';
Page 3-25 - under System Variables
SET CONCAT Defines the character that separates the name of a =
substitution
variable or parameter from characters that immediately
follow the variable or parameter-by default the period (.).
