Re: How to tell Oracle the directories of script files
Yes there is a way. In UNIX environments (I think this works in NT/2000 as well) you can set the environment variable SQLPATH to a list of directories that contain SQL files.

Re: How to tell Oracle the directories of script files
RDB, It is always best to include the path for the script that you want to execute. That way you make sure that you execute your script and not someone else's.

Keep in mind that, unless they've changed the function, spool also searches the sqlpath for files. If you say: spool modify_users.sql select 'alter user '||username||'whatever;' from dba_users; spool off Spool just looked in your current directory for a file named modify_users.sql to replace, then it followed your sqlpath for a file to replace (file permissions allowing), if it doesn't find one then it creates one in your current directory. -Original Message- From: Stephen Andert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 2:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: How to tell Oracle the directories of script files export SQLPATH=/usr/users/oracle/dba/scripts:/app/oracle/admin before you run SQL*Plus HTH Stephen [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/14/03 11:09AM Hello, Suppose I have some SQL scripts in my /home/user directories, /usr/local/bin directories, etc. If I start 'sqlplus' from console in /home/user directories, I can load/execute the script by doing: SQL @scriptname But what if I don't start sqlplus from that directories?
