sqlplus not allowing spaces
|
|
|
I'm on win2003 with Oracle 10.1 server
It seems the SQL+ has a problem with spaces. I am trying to run a
script that contains the Program Files directory in it's path. I am
getting errors and I was hoping someone here might have a suggestion to
get this to run. I've tried enclosing the path in single and double
quotes but that's not working. Any suggestions?
*not working*
@C:\Program Files\scripts\test.sql
@'C:\Program Files\scripts\test.sql'
@"C:\Program Files\scripts\test.sql"
SP2-0310: unable to open file "C:\Program.sql"

Oracle has never supported long filenames, even not when installing the
software. Assuming you install Oracle in c:\oracle\product etc...
the preferred location for scripts is c:\oracle\admin\scripts.
Learn to live with it, and stop searching for a non-existing solution.

Apart from Sybrand's correct suggestion, you could CD to the correct
directory from a command-prompt and run the relevant script from the
DOS SQL*Plus client.

I've never had problems using doublequotes. Using 9207:
SQL> connect /@prod
Connected.
SQL> @"c:\program files\oracle\x.sql"

Another option is to use the DOS 8.3 convention:
@C:\Progra~1\scripts\test.sql
