I want to automate a script using batch file. I have an import statement which has to run from cmd and once it is completed, I have to run ".sql" file by logging into SQLPLUS. How do I do this. I have written a batch file which runs a sequence of .sql file then I need to do the import script from cmd after it gets over,I need to run .sql file, but my batch doest not wait for import statement and it runs the other .sql files. Please help.

What I have tried:

cd "C:\Users\Karthikeyan\Downloads\install"
sqlplus / as sysdba @C:\Users\Karthikeyan\Downloads\install\m1.sql
cd "C:\Users\Karthikeyan\Downloads\Scripts"
sqlplus / as sysdba @C:\Users\Karthikeyan\Downloads\Scripts\a1.sql
sqlplus user/pass @C:\Users\Karthikeyan\Downloads\Scripts\t1.sql

Here i need to run imprt script from command prompt
cd "C:\Users\Karthikeyan\Downloads\install"
echo "enter import statement"
imp user/pass import query goes on
after importing the import statement then again it should continue the blow sql files.
pause

sqlplus m_817/mentis @C:\Users\Karthikeyan\Downloadsinstall\d1.sql
cd "C:\Users\Karthikeyan\Downloads\install"
sqlplus / as sysdba @C:\Users\Karthikeyan\Downloads\install\c1.sql

You can use the Pause command to suspend a batch file. It will then wait for you to press enter to continue.

Thx for your reply.After pause, when i click on enter or any other button it exits out of command prompt.

Please use the Improve question link above, and add the exact script that you are using.

Hi Richard, I have updated the script by adding a pause.

I cannot see anything wrong there. The script should wait until you press a key and then proceed. You need to check that it is not breaking for some other reason.
