Can we execute any SQL statement using sql control file.
the pseudocode is like
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
DELETE *from STUDENT WHERE STATUS="PASS_OUT"**
APPEND
INTO TABLE STUDENT WHEN (1:1)= '1'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
.......................
..........................
ERROR
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line X.
Expecting ".......", found keyword delete.
DELETE * from STUDENT where STATUS='PASS_OUT'
^
NOTE:-where "......." is different keywords based on their places.
No, you would have to create a wrapper script around your SQL*Loader call that does that first and on success runs sqlldr.

On IBMi (database is DB2 for i) in SQLRPGLE I have a program that builds a large SQL statement into a variable that I would like to run.
When I try to run it as a variable I receive a token error
Some background
Here is an example that works because it does not use a variable
Exec SQL
Create table MyLib/MyFile as(select * from XXLIB/XXFILE)
DATA INITIALLY DEFERRED REFRESH DEFERRED
maintained by user;
When I save this in a variable like #SQLStm and then try to execute as SQL
Exec SQL
:#SQLStm;
I get the error
Token : was not valid. Valid tokens: .
Also I am open to different approaches
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_71/cl/runsqlstm.htm
Like RUNSQLSTM SRCFILE(MYLIB/MYFILE) SRCMBR(MYMBR)
Maybe there is a way to take a variable and save it to a source member?
Then use RUNSQLSTM over the source member
Showing some code:
Definition for the variable
d #SQLStm s A Len(6144) Varying(4)
Even when trying a portion of the SQL statement as a variable
#SQLStm = select * from XXLIB/XXFILE;
and then try:
Exec SQL
Create table MyLib/MyFile as( :#SQLStm)
DATA INITIALLY DEFERRED REFRESH DEFERRED
maintained by user;
I get the error
Token : was not valid. Valid tokens: .
I expect the SQLRPLE to compile
Instead of SQL precompile failed.
MSG ID SEV RECORD TEXT
SQL0104 30 236 Position 31 Token : was not valid. Valid tokens:
.
Message Summary
Total Info Warning Error Severe Terminal

This is static SQL
Exec SQL
Create table MyLib/MyFile as(select * from XXLIB/XXFILE)
DATA INITIALLY DEFERRED REFRESH DEFERRED
maintained by user;
What you want is dynamic SQL
wSqlStmt = 'Create table MyLib/MyFile as(select * from XXLIB/XXFILE)'
+ ' DATA INITIALLY DEFERRED REFRESH DEFERRED'
+ ' maintained by user';
exec SQL
execute immediate :wSqlStmt;
Note that some statements can't be execute immediate instead you have to prepare then execute them.
more information can be found in the Embedded SQL programming manual.
I'm writing a procedure in Sybase using Interactive SQL. The proc contains several SELECT statements that store the results in variables, eg
DROP VARIABLE IF EXISTS #totalRows;
CREATE VARIABLE #totalRows LONG VARCHAR;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO #totalRows FROM <MyTable>;
I'd like to be able to output the results of this query to a CSV file but I get an error when trying to run the following statement
DROP VARIABLE IF EXISTS #totalRows;
CREATE VARIABLE #totalRows LONG VARCHAR;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO #totalRows FROM <MyTable>;
OUTPUT TO 'C:\\temp\\TEST.CSV' FORMAT ASCII DELIMITED BY ';' QUOTE '' WITH COLUMN NAMES;
The error reads
Could not execute statement.
Syntax error near 'OUTPUT' on line 4.
SQLCODE=-131, ODBC 3 State="42000".
Line 1, column 1
If I remove the OUTPUT TO section of the query it runs fine. Is it possible in Sybase to write the contents of a variable to an external file in this manner?
Seems like, 'OUTPUT' clause is not supported by Sybase.
As a workaround, you may run this query using some text-based tool (like sqlite) and redirect (>) the output into file, if you happen to use linux box at your client end.
Or, you may add ODBC data source (which will require sybase ODBC-driver) corresponding to your DB in Windows and use MS Excel embedded tool Microsoft Query (Data -> From other sources -> From Microsoft Query) in order to export your query result directly into excel datasheet, which you may save as CSV.
OUTPUT TO is a dbisql command, i.e. a directive for the dbisql client utility. It is not a SQL statement. If you try to execute this with anything other than dbisql, you'll get an error.
BTW -- I believe the OUTPUT clause must follow the semicolon that terminates the SELECT stmt, i.e. not have a line break in between.
Need add select variable before output statement
DROP VARIABLE IF EXISTS #totalRows;
CREATE VARIABLE #totalRows LONG VARCHAR;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO #totalRows FROM <MyTable>;
SELECT #totalRows; --select variable before output
OUTPUT TO 'C:\\temp\\TEST.CSV' FORMAT ASCII DELIMITED BY ';' QUOTE '' WITH COLUMN NAMES;
I am trying to write an EXECUTE statement in toraclerow.
At each iteration the string is prepared dynamically from the flow. Here I am not discussing how I have prepared the string. But once prepared the entire string is stored in a single context variable. For example I have the following string stored in a context variable at a given iteration number.
context.FinalString = "Insert into TargetTableName (columnA, columnB)
SELECT Col_A, Col_B
FROM SourceTableName"
I am trying to execute this string in the tOracleRow component using the following statement:
"EXEC SQL EXECUTE '"+context.FinalString+"'"
On running the job I am getting the following error.
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
Kindly suggest a solution. Is there a way to execute a sql statement stored as a string in a context variable?
try to execute by removing text EXEC SQL EXECUTE ..just simply the text should be the statement - insert into table select col from table...
or
update table set column=value where ...
you dont need exec sql execute text here.
How can rows be inserted into a table from a table in a remote database?
We currently have a stored procedure which does this using a database link. However, we are having to delete the link because our company policy doesn't allow their usage.
begin
...
execute immediate 'insert into '|| table_name
|| ' (select * from schema_name.'|| table_name ||'#link)';
...
end;
I'm unable to use the COPY command as it appears to be not recognized.
COPY FROM username/pwd#SID
insert into table_name using (select *
from table_name);
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00926: missing VALUES keyword
00926. 00000 - "missing VALUES keyword"
*Cause:
*Action:
According to this SQL Plus page, COPY command is now obsolete.
Your Query syntax is slightly wrong, and you just need to specify INSERT/REPLACE/CREATE .. and INTO is NOT needed.
COPY is not obsolete, but it ends up with some encoding issues.
You would use the line continuation character to get around that.
COPY
FROM username/pwd#SID
TO username/pass#SID2
insert
table_name
using
select * from schema_name.table_name;
You can also, download the table data into a text file, and use SQL*Loader to load the data into the another Database.
I prefer the SQL*Loader option! Since maintenance is easy!
For download,
- you can either use SPOOL with delimiter option as mentioned Here
- Write a ProC/PLSQL to output the data into a File (Method 4 in ProC, OR select column names from dba_columns))
Is there an Oracle SQL tool that builds insert statements from a result set? We are currently only allowed to use a tool called SQL Station. I'd like to either suggest a tool, like Rapid SQL or CrazySQuirrell, or build my own re-usable chunk of sql.
Where is this result set coming from? If you mean that you want to execute a SELECT, then insert the resulting data into another table, you can do that in a single SQL statement:
INSERT INTO table2 (columnA, columnB)
SELECT columnA, columnB
FROM table1;
PL/SQL Developer will do this as well. I've used both PL/SQL Developer as well as Oracle's SQL Developer, and in my opinion PL/SQL Developer has a smoother and more consistent interface. Not sure about SQL Developer, but PL/SQL Dev. also lets you export result sets as CSV,XML, and HTML.
It also behaves OK under WINE if you're running Linux.
If you want command line tools, the free cx_OracleTools will do this, and some other nice things as well.

Yes look at Oracle sql developer.Its free can be downloaded from otn.oracle.com
I found this solution, which is what I'm using now. Thanks for all of the help.
It turns out we can use SQL+ too. For some reason I can't run it in SQL Station.
COPY FROM userid/password#from_DB TO userid/password>#to_DB INSERT toDB_tablename USING SELECT * FROM fromDB_tablename where ....;
commit;
In a pinch, using string contatenation works great for smaller statements you want to build:
Select
'Insert Into MyOtherTableTable Values(''' || MyMainTableColumn1 || ''' and ''' || MyMainTableColumn2 || ''')'
From MyMainTable
Right click on the result set of the query, you will get a pop up. select export data and insert. it will ask you for the location to save the file in which insert statements are generated. give file name and the path to save it.
I know it is too late but It could be helpfull for somebody.
If you go to the table, you can "export" the data. The second step is "Specify Data" where you can add some filters.
This only works for a table data.
Cheers
With Oracle SQL-Developer type and execute as script (F5):
select /*insert*/
* from dual;
output:
Insert into "dual" (DUMMY) values ('X');
you can try also /*csv*/" or /*html*/
