Hi,

I have a particular sql code which works perfectly fine on sql developer. But if I run the same sql code through a batch file it does not get executed. It does not throw an error too. Could you please help.

SQL code - clean_tables.sql

   begin
    execute immediate 'drop table external_tables';
    execute immediate 'drop table security';
    exception
    when others then
    null;
  end;

Batch file - Clean.bat

set ORACLE_SID=orcl
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1
set PATH=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN

sqlplus security/password@orcl <c:\Report\clean_tables.sql

pause

Please help
VIBO

Hi,
run the PL/SQL block in sqlplus and you will immediately see the reason. There is no excuse for not doing it - you are already invoke it from the script.

And yes, Michel already told you it:
Quote:

A PL/SQL block ends with a "/" to be executed.

I do not see any "/" in CLEAN_TABLES.SQL content.
By the way,
Quote:

There is no error (as you ignore them)

what if EXTERNAL table does not exist and SECURITY table does? Maybe you will benefit from reading this article: http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/WHEN_OTHERS
(just surprised Michel did not reference it)
