372.0. "ORACLE MACROS" by ZPOV01::JEFFREYCHOY (Who are U?...Counter-Revolutionary) Thu Jun 22 1989 06:13

Hi Network Friends,
    
    I have here a script or so called Oracle macros.
    Could somebody comment whether this is ANSI compliant.
    
    
    thanks
    
    
ROTH/ROTH
SET ECHO ON
SET TERMOUT ON
SET TIME ON
SET TIMING ON
SPOOL SQL5.ROT
UPDATE EMP  X
 SET DNAME = (SELECT DNAME FROM DEPT
  WHERE X.DEPTNO=DEPT.DEPTNO),
 ENAME = (SELECT ENAME FROM EMP1
 WHERE X.EMPNO=EMP1.EMPNO)
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT * FROM EMP1,EMP
WHERE X.EMPNO=EMP1.EMPNO);
SPOOL OFF

	I looked these up in the SQLplus Reference Manual. ROTH/ROTH is username/password. Nice to have this revealved !!! Per the SQLplus manual, all SET and SPOOL commands are SQLplus commands. Whether there exists equivalent functionality on the SQL standard, I do not know. Specifically, here's what they do: SET ECHO ON causes all commands (ANSI SQL or SQLplus) to be displayed on the terminal SET TERMOUT ON causes all lines to be displayed on the terminal once the query is complete or as it is executing SET TIME ON causes the date and time to be displayed prioir to the execution of each entry (so you can measure that good performance !!) SPOOL SQL5.ROT causes the result of the query to be written to a file named SQL5.ROT. Don't know about the update command. Maybe the SQL folks can answer. I don't know what a marco means but I view this a just another command procedure. You can probably do all the same things with Rdb, SQL, etc. So, I guess that means that Rdb has macro too.!!! --gerry
