loading sql files from a master file Oracle equivalent

[Jeff Kish]

Hi.

I need to give my customer an sql file that they can run in query analyzer.
All the stuff they need to run is in a set of existing files.
I'd like to just tell them to load this file (this is oracle syntax):
@file1.sql
@file2.sql
@file3.sql
is there some way of calling these files (that are in the same dir) from a
master sql file?
Thanks
Jeff Kish

In Query Analyzer, no. In the command-line tool OSQL, yes. But I would
prefer to run each script from a separate OSQL invocation, and but that
in a .Bat file.

When you invoke OSQL, be sure to use the -I option to turn on the setting
QUOTED_IDENTIFIER which is off by default with OSQL.

Thanks Erland. I was just having problems finding a definitive answer
for query analyzer. Too bad really, as my end users are more
familiar/comfortable with that than isql/osql.
