How to run a SQL Plus script in PowerShell - sql

Question

I am trying to log in to the the Oracle DB using PowerShell and run a script called "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\oracle\OracleCleanTest.sql", When I execute the PS nothing happens.
Here is what I have.
$adminLogon = "sys as sysdba/manager#ORCL"
$logon = "sqlplus\sql/manager#ORCL"
$mydata = Invoke-SqlPlus -inputfile "#C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\oracle\OracleCleanTest.sql" $logon
I've also tried this.
$database = "ORCL";
$user = "sys as sysdba";
$pw = "manager";
sqlplus.exe -d $database -U $user -P $pw -I "#C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\oracle\OracleCleanTest.sql"
I tried this.
& 'C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe' 'QE-JDBC-1/manager#ORCL sys as sysdba' '#C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\oracle\OracleCleanTest.sql'
I get the error, "& : The module 'sqlplus' could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module sqlplus'.

I use the call operator, &, as Keith Hill has suggested with the question, How to run an EXE file in PowerShell with parameters with spaces and quotes.
& 'path\sqlplus.exe' 'system/password#dbase as sysdba'
I placed the username, password in quotes due to the spaces.
To start a script, I add another parameter as follows:
& 'path\sqlplus.exe' 'system/password#dbase as sysdba' '#my_script.sql'
If you are receiving the ORA-12154 error, and you know that other users have
established connections (which implies that the database listener is running
properly); I would then examine if SQL*Plus can find my tnsname file.
My first task would be to see if I can tnsping as follows in Windows cmd.exe:
tnsping orcl
It will confirm that a connection can (or can not be established).
If it cannot, I would check to see if the environment variable, ORACLE_HOME,
is set. SQL*Plus uses this to find tnsname.ora file.
If it is not set, I would execute this statement in PowerShell (to establish
this environment variable):
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("ORACLE_HOME", "C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\client_1" , "User")
Next, I would retry to tnsping (identified above).
Once successful, I would re-try to execute the script running command above.

I use this:
$cmd = "cmd.exe"
$args = ("/c sqlplus {0}/{1}#{2}:{3}/{4} #{5} {6}" -f $userName, $password, $tnsAlias, $port, $dbInstance, $sqlScript, $outputFileName)
&$cmd $args

In your Windows PowerShell command prompt the code does not require variable setting or anything fancy. Just do this:
sqlplus ElBankoUser\SupaSecretyPass "#C:\Users\ElBankoUser\Documents\MaFancySckrp.sql"

You can use .NET Oracle library DLL, just make sure you have the required DLL file under the lib folder
Add-Type -Path "lib\Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll"
$query = "select 1 as Col1, 2 as Col2, 3 as Col3 from dual
union
select 4 as Col1, 5 as Col2, 6 as Col3 from dual
union
select 7 as Col1, 8 as Col2, 9 as Col3 from dual"
$cn = New-Object Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client.OracleConnection -ArgumentList "TNS-ConnectionString-Here"
$cmd = New-Object Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client.OracleCommand -ArgumentList $query
$cmd.Connection = $cn
try {
$cn.Open()
$reader = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($reader.Read()) {
$col1 = $reader["Col1"]
$col2 = $reader["Col2"]
$col3 = $reader["Col3"]
Write-Host $col1, $col2, $col3
}
} catch {
Write-Error $_.Exception.Message
} finally {
$cmd.Dispose()
$cn.Dispose()
}

Why not use this?
sqlplus -s $adminLogin "#C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\oracle\OracleCleanTest.sql"
-s just suppresses the sqlplus banner.
