I am trying to run many SQL scripts that are contained within a few directories for an Oracle database. My approach was to use an Oracle SQL*Plus file that could simply run each file (or directory if possible) at once. However, when I run the SQLPlus file using the default intellij run configuration, I notice that it doesn't properly call any of my scripts and then, proceeds to change the SQL Dialect of the file to just Oracle.
Is this approach even possible? I have tried changing the dialects of all the scripts to be PLUS but, with no success. I've used all the methods I have seen: #, ##, SQL > and :r to call my scripts but, everything seems to fail and then, change the dialect of the SQLPlus file. However, running the sql statements themselves inside the SQLPlus file works fine, and does not change the dialect.

I have a complex sql script which I am running using db2 +v -txf sqls/connection.sql This script is part of a unix service which is running lot of other scripts as well. The script is querying a temporary session table so I cannot run the script manually (since the table is gone by that time). I want to be able to run the script as part of the service but would like to log the values of variables being calculated in the sql file. For eg: The sql script as the following line timestampdiff(1, char(max(END_TS) - min(START_TS))) as ELAPSED_TIME, I would like to know the values of END_TS and START_TS.
What I have tried:
I tried adding -v to the the db2 command and it printed the entire sql being executed but not the exact values.
If the Db2-server runs on Linux/unix/windows, you can use set serveroutput on; along with call dbms_output.PUT_LINE('......'); which lets you see what you logged as output when the script ends.
dbms_output.put_line docs.
The dbms_output module contains other useful services, and people familiar with Oracle will recognize it.
If the Db2-server runs on a Z/OS or i-series you should tag your question as db2-zos or db2-400 , because the answer can depend on the platform.
I'm running a complicated SQL script in Oracle SQL Developer. The query starts with
DEFINE custom_date = "'22-JUL-2016'"
While this works fine in Oracle SQL Developer I get an error in jetbrains:
<statement> expected got DEFINE
Also when I run the query it says:
ORA-00919: invalid function
even though it all works fine in Orace SQl Developer.
Is there anything specific I need to configure in Jetbrains Pycharm to be able to execute Oracle SQL queries correctly?
DEFINE isn't a core feature of the database, instead it's a command in SQL*Plus.
SQL Developer has as script engine which supports all of the SQL*Plus commands, including DEFINE, which is why it works when you run it there.
DEFINE just creates a variable and assigns a text value to it. You'll need to re-write your code to declare the variable and assign values to it instead.

im using Liquibase to manage my database in SQLdeveloper. Now, we have a PLSQL script that runs fine by itself. It also makes the changes in the database. Now, if we want Liquibase to run this PLSQL script it gets the following error: ORA-00922: missing or invalid option.
Is it even possible for Liquibase to run external PLSQL scripts?
There are two potential issues you are running into:
You are using <sqlFile> but not specifying splitStatements="false". By default, Liquibase will split the SQL on semicolons because that is what the JDBC driver needs normally, but in a PL/SQL script you can have a single CREATE PROCEDURE or something similar which contains semicolons but is still one statement. You can also use <createProcedure> instead of sqlFile which does not split statements.
Your script has sqlplus-specific functionality in it. SQLPlus and SQLDeveloper do not simply pass the SQL strings straight through to the database, they have their own functionality to sometimes modify what is actually executed. JDBC and therefore Liquibase does not have all the same functionality and so if you are using it in your scripts they will not work. If this is the case, the best approach is to use a changeSet with <executeCommand> to make a call to sqldeveloper or sqlplus.
I have the following challange;
I would like to execute a batch of *.sql files on one database. The sql files are assumed to be named in ascending order of their execution sequence. So the main sql script should do a 'dir /s *.sql', then start each of the found scripts in order.
Is this possible ?
Below is something I found for SQL Server, but I want something similar for Oracle SQL Developer.

Thanks in advance.

Create a folder for eg:Batch_Files in you local machine ,which will contain all the sql script that you want to execute ,
Then open you sql developer .Create a file called batch.sql in your Batch_Files folder .
In Batch.sql add the sql files that you want to execute in sequence.
#file1.sql
#file2.sql
:
:
#fileN.sql
These files contains the code that you need to run in sequence .This is a very basic example.You can do various changes according to your need ,you can add anonymous block to print something after execution of files .I have not tested this is SQL-DEVELOPER ,but i think this will surely work for you .
Like the title says, in oracle you can issue the following command in SQL*Plus:
SQL> select something from anothertable; #sql
SQL> #{/home/me/somescript.sql}; #load sql from file and execute it
SQL> do something else in script; #other sql
Without having to file->open the sql script to load it to the UI.
Is there an equivalent in SQL Server Query Manager? I've stumbled upon many situation where i could have used it but i couldn't be able to find a way to accomplish it.
You're not really comparing like for like Tools here.
The equivalent tool to SQL*Plus in SQL Server is the SQLCMD Utility.
In particular you will be interested in the -i switch as this allows you to provide a .sql file as input.
Edit:
In response to your comment, you could look to use the system stored procedure xp_cmdshell to launch a prompt form within a T-SQL batch that allows you to use SQLCMD. Not the most elegant solution in my opinion but it should work.
If using latter versions of SQL Server (2005 & 2008), see if the :r command in SQLCMD works for you:
:r <filename>
Parses additional Transact-SQL statements and sqlcmd commands from the file specified by <filename> into the statement cache.
If the file contains Transact-SQL statements that arenot followed by GO, you must enter GO on the line that follows :r.
From sqlcmd Utility
Use isql utility http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa214007(SQL.80).aspx
issql ... -iinputfile
There is also SQLS*Plus tool that you can use to execute scripts within a script
