I have exported database from Oracle SQL developer tool into .sql file. Now I want to run this file which is of size 500+ MB.
I read about running scripts here, but I didn't understand the way. Is there any command or query by which we can run this sql script by providing path?
You could execute the .sql file as a script in the SQL Developer worksheet. Either use the Run Script icon, or simply press F5.
For example,
#path\script.sql;
Remember, you need to put # as shown above.
But, if you have exported the database using database export utility of SQL Developer, then you should use the Import utility. Follow the steps mentioned here Importing and Exporting using the Oracle SQL Developer 3.0
You need to Open the SQL Developer first and then click on File option and browse to the location where your .sql is placed. Once you are at the location where file is placed double click on it, this will get the file open in SQL Developer. Now select all of the content of file (CTRL + A) and press F9 key. Just make sure there is a commit statement at the end of the .sql script so that the changes are persisted in the database
You can use Load function
Load TableName fullfilepath;

I would like to know if there is any VBA code which allows me to execute .sql files by clicking a button in Excel?
I've been surfing different webs, but all of them showed code which consists into write the SQL query in the macro, despite it isn't what I wanted. So I have stored .sql scripts as files in different folders on my computer and what I want is to run this script by clicking a button in Excel using VBA.
Short answer is no. There is no magic button in Excel that does that. Easiest that I can think of is run/import that .sql to MySQL, SQL Server, Postgres, etc. to become a database. Example using MS SQL Server:
How do I import a .sql data file into SQL Server?
Once you run successfully that .sql into a DBMS, you may use built-in tools of that DBMS to export the tables into Excel. See the link below as an example:
How to Import and Export SQL Server data to an Excel file
It may not be as easy as pressing a button but not as tedious as hardcoding it. I hope it helps.
I am using Intellij 14.1.4. I am able to run SQLs by custom defined db data sources in database console.
I have some sql files in my project and would like to execute them directly instead of copying them to the database console. However, I am not able to use the same data sources that I created for the console when setting up connections from the DB Connections drop down.
I wonder how to run SQL statements from sql files with the same data sources as the ones I defined in the db console?
Thanks
You can right-click on an sql file in the editor and there is an option "Run myfile.sql"
To run SQL statements from sql files You must associate with file type

I have a SQL Server database for which I want to generate script of data as well as schema both. I tried Tasks -> Generate Scripts -> Script all objects in the selected database but it does not give the .sql for the data itself.
How do we generate the .sql database for both data as well schema? Please suggest some easy method such as a tool or something that can be used easily
Backing up/Exporting database
There are two ways to Back up/Export a SQL Server database using SQL Server Management Studio:
Right click database → Tasks → Generate Scripts → Choose DB → Change “Script Data” option to true → …
Right click database → Tasks → Backup → ...
The first method creates a .sql file that then we need to run. The problem with this method is that the .sql file can be too big to be opened with SQL Server Management Studio. In that case we need to use the sqlcmd utility (should be already installed if we have SQL Server MS). Instructions below.
The second method creates a .back file that is then easy to import into an empty database.
Importing Database
If we have a .sql file and it’s not too big we can just open it with SQL Server MS and run it.
If we have a .sql file but it’s too big to be opened with SQL Server MS we have to use sqlcmd like this:
>sqlcmd -i C:\panels_QA28July11.sql -o C:\PanelsImportResult.txt
The parameter after -i is the file to import. The parameter after -o is where to save the output. We can omit the second parameter if we want to see the process on the screen.
By default it will use the local machine and local database server. If we want to use a different machine and server we use the -S option.
Right Click on db => Tasks => Generate Scripts => In "Set Scripting Options: Click Advanced, find Types of data to script. You can choose between Data only, Script and data and Schema only. The default is Schema only

I have a .sql file I need to enter in to my database, but I can't find how to do it.
I'm using SQL Server Management Studio R2, but haven't found any options on how to add it.
When I try to attach it, I'm told that this file isn't a primary database file, so I can't do it...
EDIT: okay, I had the script execute. That worked.
A .SQL file is a script file that contain SQL commands. To run those commands you need to go to the menu: FILE, then OPEN and FILE..., browse and select the .SQL file and it will open it, you can then run it (F5). Make sure the current database is the one where you want those commands to occur within.
A .sql file is a script, not a database.
Will this work for you?
In Management Studio, click on menu File -> Open -> File -> navigate to the file.
After the file has opened, you can click F5 to run the SQL.
A .sql file is usually a script (DML, DDL, other commands) which can be run against a database. It may create objects, databases, add or remove data. You can open it (File...Open) in SSMS (or view it in any text editor) and then execute it (after carefully reviewing the script).
File->Open, browse to the file, load it. Make sure the right database is selected in the drop-down box above the editor. F5 to execute.
I have a database that was given to me, but is in a file format (.sql). I want to open it in my SQL Server, but I don't know how, because it says i need a .mdf file?
Can someone help?
Open up the .sql file - if it contains SQL code in plain text, you have most likely received the database as a create script. Run it in SQL Server Management Studio.
A .sql file is (usually) just a series of SQL commands that you execute on the SQL server using your preferred GUI or CLI. Try opening it in Notepad to see what I mean.
Click on the data base.
Right click displays drop down menu.
Select execute SQL file.
Search for your .SQL file
Click on start button
Click close.
Press F5.
.Sql file is just a random file holding some SQL queries. While .mdf and .ldf are Microsoft SQL Server Database files which hold an entire database.
Run your file in SQL Server Management Studio.
