Re: Problems Creating Java Source Through ODBC... ORA-29542

> Can SQLPLUS by made to run in silent mode?

I'm not sure if this addresses your original problem. But SQL*Plus can run in "silent" mode. You can store your SQL statements in a text file (script). Then, launch SQL*Plus as follows:

sqlplus userid/password @scriptname

If you don't want the u/p in the command line, then put "connect userid/password" as the first line in your script and launch SQL*Plus as follows:

sqlplus /nolog @scriptname
