I want to execute an SQL file with sqlplus, but when I try to in Powershell ISE the result says how to use sqlplus. The result I get
The code I used in the example in ISE is:
sqlplus "username/password#database #C:Path\To\file.sql"
But when I run this code in CMD or regular Powershell it works without problems. The result is just some dummy Select 1 from dual.
I have tried to put the path in a single qoute( ' ) with and without the # (inside and outside of the quote) but nothing is working. I also didn't find much when googling the issue.
I also tried just to connect and it works without problems, although I can't type anything after it connects. Result with just the connect
because you are doing wrong
the real syntex is
sqlplus username/password#TnsAlias 'c:\path\to\DBscript.sql' | out-file 'c:\temp\sql- output.txt'
I think you (') use early.
or try this without outfile
$output = sqlplus username/password#TnsAlias 'c:\path\to\DBscript.sql'
store in variable

I am currently trying to integrate an sql statement into a shell script, But facing major syntax issue:
My statement in the script:
su - <sid>adm -c 'hdbsql -U SYSTEM export "'SCHEMA'"."'*'" as binary into "'Export Location'" with reconfigure'
I get the following error:
* 257: sql syntax error: incorrect syntax near "*": line 1 col 16 (at pos 16) SQLSTATE: HY000
Would really appreciate if anyone could help me with this.
Thanks and Regards,
AK
Your command line doesn't make much sense to me. It starts with
su - <sid>adm
which means that you are redirecting the contents of the file "sid" into "su" and then redirecting the result of that operation into the file "adm".
Second problem is that in the command you are giving to adm, the single quotes end right before the "" which means, that the "" will get interpreted by the shell as a file glob:
-c 'hdbsql -U SYSTEM export "'SCHEMA'"."'*'" as binary into "'Export Location'" with reconfigure'
You'll need to escape those single quotes like this: "\'".
But I think your problem solving approach is not good. Try to reduce to problem and only then start adding additional things to it. So first try to execute the SQL statement from the "hdbsql" shell. Does it work?
$ hdbsql
> YOUR SQL STATEMENT HERE
Once that works, try to execute the SQL statement from the unix shell as a user:
$ hdbsql -U SYSTEM export ...
Once that works, try to execute it via su
$ su - ...
I need to call another sql file within an sql file using sql plus. This si the script i have so far and its not working. I have to code it in a unix vi file. I am new to this so would someone mind helping. thank you in advance.
call=`$LIVE_SQL/sqlfile2.sql`
if &call = 0 then
echo "ERROR: $LIVE_SQL/sqlfile2.sql file not found"
exit 1
fi
The command to call other SQL files from within SQLPLUS is : start (or #)
Getting feedback from the SQL script : SQLPLUS is not Bash. It is possible, but not really beginner stuff.
I am running PS 4.0 and the following command in interaction with a Veritas Netbackup master server on a Unix host via plink:
PS C:\batch> $testtest = c:\batch\plink blah#blersniggity -pw "blurble" "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbpemreq -due -date 01/17/2014" | Format-Table -property Status
As you can see, I attempted a "Format-Table" call at the end of this.
The resulting value of the variable ($testtest) is a string that is laid out exactly like the table in the Unix console, with Status, Job Code, Servername, Policy... all that listed in order. But, it populates the variable in Powershell as just that: a vanilla string.
I want to use this in conjunction with a stored procedure on a SQL box, which would be TONS easier if I could format it into a table. How do I use Powershell to tabulate it exactly how it is extracted from the Unix prompt via Plink?
You'll need to parse it and create PS Objects to be able to use the format-* cmdlets. I do enough of it that I wrote this to help:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/New-PSObjectFromMatches-87d8ce87
You'll need to be able to isolate the data and write a regex to capture the bits you want.
I'm trying to load a sql from a file in bash and execute the loaded sql. The sql file needs to be versatile, meaning it cannot be altered in order to make things easy while being run in bash (escaping special characters like * )
So I have run into some problems:
If I read my sample.sql
SELECT * FROM SAMPLETABLE
to a variable with
ab=`cat sample.sql`
and execute it
db2 `echo $ab`
I receive an sql error because by doing a cat the * has been replaced by all the files in the directory of sample.sql.
Easy solution would be to replace "" with "\" . But I cannot do this, because the file needs to stay executable in programs like DB Visualizer etc.
Could someone give me hint in the right direction?
The DB2 command line processor has options that accept a filename as input, so you shouldn't need to load statements from a text file into a shell variable.
This command will execute all SQL statements in the file, with newline treated as the statement terminator:
db2 -f sample.sql
This command will execute all SQL statements in the file, with semicolon treated as the statement terminator:
db2 -t -f sample.sql
Other useful CLP flags are:
-x : Suppress the column headings
-v : Echo the statement text immediately before execution
-z : Tee a copy of all CLP output to the filename immediately following this flag
Redirect stdin from the file.
db2 < sample.sql
In case, you have a variable used in your script and wanted to get it replaced by the shell before executed in DB2 then use this approach:
Contents of File.sql:
cat <<xEOF
insert values(1,2) into ${MY_SCHEMA}.${MY_TABLE};
select * from ${MY_SCHEMA}.${MY_TABLE};
xEOF
In command prompt do:
export MY_SCHEMA='STAR'
export MY_TAVLE='DIMENSION'
Then you are all good to get it executed in DB2:
eval File.sq |db2 +p -t
The shell will replace the global variables and then DB2 will execute it.
Hope it helps.
I need to loop a oracle sqlplus query using bash.
my scenario is like this. I have a set of names in a text file and i need to find out details of that names using a sqlplus query.
textfile.txt content:
john
robert
samuel
chris
bash script
#!/bin/bash
while read line
do
/opt/oracle/bin/sqlplus -s user#db/password #query.sql $line
done < /tmp/textfile.txt
sql query: query.sql
set verify off
set heading off
select customerid from customers where customername like '%&1%';
exit
problem is when I run the script I get errors like
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning
"robert..." - rest of line ignored.
can someone tell me how to solve this?
The way I do this all the time is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
cat textfile.txt |while read Name
do
sqlplus -s userid/password#db_name > output.log <<EOF
set verify off
set heading off
select customerid from customers where customername like '%${Name}%'
/
exit
EOF
Bash will auto magically expand ${Name} for each line and place it into the sql command before sending it into sqlplus
Do you have set define on ? Is your wildcard & ? You could check glogin.sql to know.
And yes, establishing n connections to pass n queries is probably not a good solution. Maybe it's faster for you to develop and you will do that one time, but if not, you should maybe think of crafting a procedure.
