Oddly enough: that's what quote marks mean. "I didn't say that... but that's what I meant".

Oh please.

Quote "Surely Oracle is smarter than this". You might have some slant on such a phrase that I don't know, but I can smell a rose bush covered in manure a mile off.

Funnily enough, I can re-quote what the hell I like, your permission notwithstanding. Even funnier is that you *knew* that that would be the phrase I would re-quote... so quite clearly, you knew *precisely* what impression that particular quote would convey.

You know, Hitler invaded Poland not expecting the Second World War. Strangely enough, he got the Second World War. What you *mean* and what people take you to mean are not necessarily the same thing... and you might give some pause to think about that before you start posting smug statements that can only be taken one way by those in the know.

I can see that you, indeed, did, and you got one. Clever little you.

By the way: the answer is still "use the "@" command within SQLPlus to run a script". But since you read the documentation so thoroughly, you obviously didn't need that answer.
