How can i pass parameter to sql script?

Question

CREATE TABLE DMS_POP_WKLY_REFRESH_20100201 NOLOGGING PARALLEL AS
SELECT wk.*,bbc.distance_km ,NVL(bbc.tactical_broadband_offer,0) tactical_broadband_offer ,
       s         


        

Answer 1

SQL*Plus uses &1, &2... &n to access the parameters.

Suppose you have the following script test.sql:

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SPOOL test.log
EXEC dbms_output.put_line('&1 &2');
SPOOL off

you could call this script like this for example:

$ sqlplus login/pw @test Hello World!

Edit:

In a UNIX script you would usually call a SQL script like this:

sqlplus /nolog << EOF
connect user/password@db
@test.sql Hello World!
exit
EOF

so that your login/password won't be visible with another session's ps
