You have to add another fullstop "." behind the "." between the variable and the table name

INSERT INTO &SCHEMAOWNERTO..HpxCatalog(

"." is substitution variable end mark

Subject: sql-plus variable error?

I have the following script in a file:

--

set verify off
set feedback off

accept SCHEMAOWNERFROM char prompt 'Enter Owner of the Schema you wish to move data FROM:'
accept SCHEMAOWNERTO char prompt 'Enter Owner of the Schema you wish to move data TO:'

select 'insert into HpxCatalog:' from dual;

INSERT INTO &SCHEMAOWNERTO.HpxCatalog(

       CatalogID,
      CatalogName,
      Description,
      Active )
Values (
      &SCHEMAOWNERTO.HPXSEQ_Catalog.nextval,
      'Catalog_Name1',     -- hardcoded
      '',
      'T' );

When I run this file in sql-plus, and I enter the two variables (two schema names)at prompt, say 'testfrom' and 'testto', I got the following error in sql-plus:

'INSERTINTOHPXCATALOG:'

insert into HpxCatalog:
INSERT INTO testtoHpxCatalog(

*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

I thought I would get "INSERT INTO testto.HpxCatalog(" stuff with a dot "." in it. Any idea what I did wrong?

Thanks.
