Well, Paul, i think he means using source in an .sql script. Yes you can, Shankar. I used it several times for several reasons :)
And u can envoke your sql script the same as you use your other scripts. [EXAMPLE] -- in query.sql file: CREATE TABLE ( id INT, value CHAR(30) ) -- in source.sql file: source query.sql # or \. query.sql [/EXAMPLE] Then you can envoke your source.sql script the same way as you do others Paul DuBois wrote: PD: > > database,sql,query,table PD: > PD: > PD: >I notice that "source" is only accepted at the *command line*.

It's not PD: part of the version of SQL understood by the client. If you want to use PD: SOURCE in your scripts, you'll have to parse them yourself and implement PD: it on the client side.
