Specifying Options for the Parameters Page

In a SQL Script job, you can specify any of the following in the SQL Script field of the Parameters property page:

  • Any directives supported by SQL*Plus

  • Contents of the SQL script itself

  • Fully-qualified SQL script file; for example:

         @/private/oracle/scripts/myscript.sql
    

    Make sure that the script file is installed in the appropriate location on all targets.

  • PL/SQL script using syntax supported by SQL*Plus; for example, one of the following:

    EXEC plsql_block;
    

    or

    DECLARE
       local_date DATE;
    BEGIN
       SELECT SYSDATE INTO local_date FROM dual;
    END;
    /
    

    You can use target properties in the SQL Script field, a list of which appears in the Target Properties table. Target properties are case-sensitive. You can enter optional parameters to SQL*Plus in the Parameters field.
