The syntax is:

% sqlplus john/doe _at_runthis.sql

There aren't too many command line options. The "-s" option specifies "silent" mode - no banners, no prompts, etc.

% sqlplus -s john/doe _at_runthis.sql

You can add arguments to variables in the script at the command line, if the variables are named &1, &2, etc.

% sqlplus john/doe _at_runthis.sql 33 SMITH

This would run the script and insert the values "33" and "SMITH" into the substitution variables &1 and &2.
