SQL

[James Daniel]

I am trying to run Oracle SQL scripts via Ant. Everything works fine if they are plain SQL commands. If, the script includes both PLSQL and SQL commands, the script fails. The script runs fine in Toad. I assume Toad has a parser that differentiates between SQL and PLSQL. Has anyone heard of a way to mimic what Toad does in Ant? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jim,
If you don't find a PLSQL task, you can always call TOAD through an OS script. Which Ant can call using the exec task.

Presumably your complex scripts consist of multiple statements on multiple lines. The Ant SQL Task has a bunch of optional configurations to do with processing of separators and (re)formatting of scripts - can you give us any more details on which options you have tried?

I have tried a plain vanilla Ant call of SQL script. I do see that a "keepformat" switch. I will try that.

I am still getting the error. Plain SQL scripts work but PLSQL fail.

Script I am trying to run:

begin
select count(*) from abc;
end;

Exception thrown:

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 3, column 33:
