sqlplus

I am using below command in Unix environment to connect to Oracle database: sqlplus test/test@'(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostname.com )(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=mysid))' But I am getting below error: Use SQL*Plus to execute SQL, PL/SQL and SQL*Plus statements. Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V -H Displays the SQL*Plus version and the usage help. -V Displays the SQL*Plus version. Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [{logon | /nolog}] [<start>] ] <option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S] Please help me where I am doing mistake in using the command.

I would usually write SQL statements inline in a Bash shell script to be executed in SQLPlus as- #! /bin/sh sqlplus user/pwd@dbname<<EOF insert into dummy1 select * from dummy2; commit; exit; EOF This would work just fine and will insert rows into dummy1 when executed. A colleague of mine came to me the other day with a script like below (simplified) #! /bin/sh sqlvar="insert into dummy1 select * from dummy2;commit;" echo $sqlvar|sqlplus user/pwd@dbname The issue with this is when executed the variable sqlvar expands the * to be all the files in the current directory and would eventually error

I have installed Oracle 11g on Windows 7 When I start sqlplus, it ask me for a username and password Can anybody tell me what username needs to be inserted and when I try to type in any password, it doesn't allow me to type a single letter. Is there a reason why? If you've forgotten the password for any user then you can reset by logging in as SYS: sqlplus / as sysdba And then: alter user <username> identified by <password>; If you've forgotten which users you have then you can run: select username from all_users; If you have only recently created the database it would be worthwhile

By default sqlplus truncates column names to the length of the underlying data type. Many of the column names in our database are prefixed by the table name, and therefore look identical when truncated. I need to specify select * queries to remote DBAs in a locked down production environment, and drag back spooled results for diagnosis. There are too many columns to specify individual column formatting. Does sqlplus offer any option to uniformly defeat column name truncation? (I am using SET MARKUP HTML ON, though I could use some other modality, csv, etc. as long as it yields unabbreviated

I ran the simple select query in the command prompt,but the output rows are not coming in a single line. See below: SQL> set pagesize 2000 SQL> select * from xtern_empl_rpt ; EMP LAST_NAME --- -------------------------------------------------- FIRST_NAME SSN -------------------------------------------------- --------- EMAIL_ADDR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEARS_OF_SERVICE ---------------- 001 Hutt Jabba 896743856 jabba@thecompany.com 18 002 Simpson Homer 382947382 homer@thecompany.com 20 003 Kent Clark 082736194 superman@thecompany.com 5

I have to run multiple SQL script file in one go. Like every time i have to write command in SQLPLUS SQL>@d:\a.txt SQL>@d:\a2.txt SQL>@d:\a3.txt SQL>@d:\a4.txt is there any way put all file in one folder & run all script file in one go without missing any single file like @d:\final.txt or @d\final.bat There is no single SQL*Plus command to do that, but you can create a single script that calls all the others: Put the following into a batch file @echo off echo.>"%~dp0all.sql" for %%i in ("%~dp0"*.sql) do echo @"%%~fi" >> "%~dp0all.sql" When you run that batch file it will create a new script
