How to use file name with dollar sign (ie, '$') in unix like below
SQL> spool DIR$work.sql
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.
and i tried like below
SQL> spool DIR\$work.sql
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.
SQL> spool 'DIR\$work.sql'
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.
SQL> spool 'DIR$work.sql'
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.
I couldn't succeed in any way to create such file in oracle.
I have oracle 11g version.
In windows sqlplus it works fine.
You can use the set escchar setting to stop Oracle interpreting the dollar sign:
SQL> show escchar
escchar OFF
SQL> spool /tmp/$work.sql
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.
SQL> set escchar $
SQL> spool /tmp/$work.sql
SQL>
You are now spooling to that file name.
SQL> select * from dual;
D
-
X
1 row selected.
SQL> spool off
SQL> exit
Disconnected from Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
...
$ cat /tmp/\$work.sql
SQL> select * from dual;
D
-
X
1 row selected.
SQL> spool off

This is because the CDB is at MOUNT, not OPEN, you should open the root container before using PDB.
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> show con_name
CON_NAME

CDB$ROOT
SQL> select open_mode from v$database;
OPEN_MODE

To open the CDB, you may issue the following SQL command or bounce it.
SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.
Then show pdbs again.
SQL> show pdbs;
CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED
---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ----------
2 PDB$SEED READ ONLY NO
3 ORCLPDB READ WRITE NO
If the PDB is still MOUNTED, then you should open it.
SQL> alter pluggable database orclpdb open;

How to declare variable and use it in the same Oracle SQL script?

Closed 11 months ago.
Basically, I don't want to be asked about the value like this::

Enter value for test:
I want only declare the &test along the script, something like it:
&test varchar2(100):= 'some value'; --of course, this don't work.
Execute

I don't know whether space you have in front of the directory name in the first statement you posted makes difference (or is it just a typo), but - nonetheless, here's how it is usually done.
Create directory on hard disk:
C:\>mkdir c:\dir
Connect to the database as SYS (as it owns the database, as well as directories); create directory (Oracle object) and grant privileges to user which will use that directory:
C:\>sqlplus sys as sysdba

Works properly (congratulations, you wrote code that actually works!).
So, what have you done wrong?
as I said, space in front of c:\dir: CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY MYDIR AS ' C:\dir';
database isn't on your computer but on a separate database server
it means that you probably created directory, but it points to c:\dir directory on the database server, not your own PC!
As Boneist commented, it is possible to create a directory (Oracle object) on computer which is NOT a database server, but that's not something we usually do. If you opt to choose this option, you'll have to use UNC (Universal Naming Convention) while creating directory.
Another option you might want to consider is to use SQL Loader. It is an operating system utility, installed along with the database or (full, not instant) client software. Its advantage is that it runs on your local PC (i.e. you don't have to have access to the database server) and is extremely fast. You'd create a control file which tells Oracle how to load data stored in the source (.txt) file.
Another option, which - in the background - uses SQL Loader, is to use an external table. It is yet another Oracle object which points to the source (.txt) file and allows you to access it using a simple SQL SELECT statement. Possible drawback: it still requires access to the Oracle directory (just like your UTL_FILE option).
I need to execute the multiple script having one master sql file. Whenever I used to execute the master calling script named as calling_test.sql if anything error comes need to be rollbacked.
sqlplus USERNAME/PWD#SIR_NAME;
##calling_test.sql
here is content of calling_test.sql script.
SET echo ON;
SET define ON;
SET scan ON;
define PATH =/krishna/test
define AB_SCHEMA=AIM
spool Test_incremental.log
SET define ON;
##&&PATH/AUG/2019-08-28/test1.sql
SET define ON;
##&&PATH/AUG/2019-08-29/test2.sql
SET define ON;
##&&PATH /AUG/2019-08-30/test3.sql
SET define ON;
The scrip should contain something like this:
whenever sqlerror exit rollback
Example:
SQL> create table test (col number);
Table created.
SQL>
SQL script (named p.sql)
whenever sqlerror exit rollback
insert into test values (100);
insert into test values ('A');

You can rollback the actions from called scripts, but in addition to WHENEVER command you must also SET AUTOCOMMIT OFF. Normally when Sqlplus exits a script invoked in a separate file it commits. However the preceding overrides that action. See below: (save each script to the indicated file.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- script mst_0.sql
create table multi_script_test( id integer, description varchar2(50));
insert into multi_script_test values( 0, 'Initial before script.');
commit;
-- script mst_1.sql
insert into multi_script_test values( 1, 'Insert from script mst_1');
-- script mst_2.sql
insert into multi_script_test values ( 2, 'Insert from script mst_2');
-- script mst_3.sql
insert into multi_script_test values ( 3/0, 'oops');
-- script mst_4.sql
insert into multi_script_test values ( 4, 'Insert from script mst_4');
-- main script mst_main.sql
set echo on
set autocommit off
whenever sqlerror continue rollback
##c:/so/ora/mst_0.sql
##c:/so/ora/mst_1.sql
##c:/so/ora/mst_2.sql
-- following should display rows 0, 1, 2
select * from multi_script_test;
-- generate error and due to whenever directive 'rollback' discard rows 1,2
#c:/so/ora/mst_3.sql

I have fairly simply code ..running in Oracle Virtualbox. However for some reason it is not displaying pl/sql output.
Here is code snippet
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> list
1 Create or Replace procedure mytz
2 IS
3 v_mytz TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT '2013-05-05 12:00:00 AM';
4 BEGIN
5 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Default timestamp is ' );
6* end mytz ;
SQL> /
Procedure created.
SQL>
Is there anything I need to do special to see the output on SQL prompt ?
You have to actually run the procedure, not just create it, e.g.:
set serverputput on
exec mytz;
The set serveroutput SQL*Plus command has to be in the session the procedure is executed, not the one where it is created (if they are different).
You are not showing the value of your variable at the moment; maybe you wanted this?
dbms_output.put_line('Default timestamp is: ' || v_mytz);
