Hi,

I have a particular sql code which works perfectly fine on sql developer. But if I run the same sql code through a batch file it does not get executed. It does not throw an error too. Could you please help.

SQL code - clean_tables.sql

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

   begin
    execute immediate 'drop table external_tables';
    execute immediate 'drop table security';
    exception
    when others then
    null;
  end;

Batch file - Clean.bat

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

set ORACLE_SID=orcl
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1
set PATH=C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN

sqlplus security/password@orcl <c:\Report\clean_tables.sql

pause

Please help
VIBO

Hi,
run the PL/SQL block in sqlplus and you will immediately see the reason. There is no excuse for not doing it - you are already invoke it from the script.

And yes, Michel already told you it:
Quote:

A PL/SQL block ends with a "/" to be executed.

I do not see any "/" in CLEAN_TABLES.SQL content.
By the way,

There is no error (as you ignore them)

what if EXTERNAL table does not exist and SECURITY table does? Maybe you will benefit from reading this article: http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/WHEN_OTHERS
(just surprised Michel did not reference it)
