tanelp :Hi Leslie, You are not connected to the database instance as the error message says. Before running the script, you need to say: connect username/password@dbname (of course replace the username, password and dbname with your user/database details :)

@tanelp Thanks Tanel, that works, I had this connection problem for long time.

Hi – I have tried, but it says it is unable to open the file – both in TOAD and SQL Dev. I normally use TOAD, where the @ works fine, running the SQL file as a script.

But … very nice feature otherwise – thanx for the informative posts :-)

Hi Mette,

I don’t know how to do it from Toad. The SQL Developer is fairly compatible with sqlplus commands so *maybe* it allows running scripts from http/ftp locations with @http://file.sql syntax.. I haven’t tested it though

Brilliant – do you know how to do it from TOAD og SQL Dev?

I am teaching myself Oracle and I found your webpage. When I tried to log a script, I am getting error messages:
SQL> @START http://www.dbdomain.com/sqlscripts/10g/course002.sql;
SP2-0310: unable to open file “START.sql”
SQL> @http://www.dbdomain.com/sqlscripts/10g/course002.sql;

You can ignore errors related to DROP commands when
this is the first time you are executing this script.

SP2-0640: Not connected
SP2-0640: Not connected

SP2-0306: Invalid option.

where ::= [/][@] | /
SP2-0640: Not connected

Could you help me understand what I am doing wrong?

thanks,

Hmm.. good idea! I never thought about this feature in database schema release context.

Thanks!

Cool – I didn’t know that. Thanks!

This makes a _lot_ of great things possible here, where our Subversion code repository is accessible over HTTP…

Nice trick Tanel.

I use remote scripts regularly. The r variable is going into glogin.sql today.
