Default Passing SQLPlus script location using Windows Script Host Object Model

Ok,

So I haz lots of scripts that are generated by a team in my organisation which need to then be processed via SQLPlus

Basically we/me get loads of emails with the script location @Z:/aFolder/aScript.sql;

We then have to process them individually by opening up SQLPlus and pasting the file location in there ;"

I have been looking into a way to automate this via either c# or VBA

I think that the Windows Script Host Object Model option via VBA is a good one

Example:


Option Explicit

Sub SQLPlus(strFilePath)

Dim WShell As New WshShell
WShell.Run "sqlplus " & strFilePath

End Sub

Sub test()

Call ;")

End Sub

Only issue is that I get an error from passing that last file location in the "SP2-0310: unable to open file location "Z:/aFolder/aScript.sql;"

Am I missing a special character or something from this?

I pass the @ sign into the string but its not recognised on the command line??

Any input greatly appreciated, thanks.

Sometimes enclosing paths in strings helps. Maybe you can try

Sub SQLPlus(strFilePath)

Dim WShell As New WshShell
WShell.Run "sqlplus " &
strFilePath & """"
End Sub

Good idea John, tried it and the window just closes immediately

Thanks for the suggestion :)

Is the sqlplus window supposed to stay open ?

Is there an "exit" at the end of the script you're calling ?

If there's an exit at the end of your script then that would explain
why the sqlplus window closed. If you comment that out does it stay
open?

It doesn't even open the script in SQLPlus

Like I said in the main post I get an error: "SP2-0310: unable to open file location "Z:/aFolder/aScript.sql;"

I have validated the location and file exist, it just looks like the parameter isn't passed in correctly for some reason

If I just paste in the file location: @Z:/aFolder/aScript.sql;

It runs fine but when I try pass it I get the error message without the @ in the command string "SP2-0310: unable to open file location "Z:/aFolder/aScript.sql;"
