Function to execute SQL script via Sql *Plus from VBA

Introduction I needed to execute parametrized SQL script with Sql *Plus from MS Access. So I wrote this function that runs script in Sql *Plus with an option of passing parameters. Limitations: - Allows no more then 5 parameters - Does not work correctly with parameters that contain space. This seems to be the limitation of the Sql *Plus in Windows environment rather then anything else. Parameters of the function: Path - Full path to the file with the Sql script. Login - Oracle login string - login/password@dbname. You can miss Login parameter if you are logging to the database in the script. Param1-Param5 - Parameters that will be passed to the script. These are substitution variables in Sql *Plus and can be retrieved like this - &1; The best thing to do is to redefine parameters in the script in the beginning of the script, i.e.:

DEFINE Var1=&1
DEFINE Var2=&2
DEFINE Var3=&3
DEFINE Var4=&4

This should be done due to a bug in Sql *Plus that does not work correctly if parameter &4 is used in the middle of script (I always get "be" instead of the correct value). Function

                            Optional Login As String, _
                            Optional Param1 As String, _

                            Optional Param4 As String, _

        Path = Path & " " & params
    End If
    
     ' Append path of the script that we want to run
    cmdline = cmdline & "@" & Path
   
    
    Dim res As Long
    
    ' execute the command line
    ' See http://www.vbmonster.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/vb/14063/VB6-and-Shell

    res = cmd.ExecCmd(cmdline)
    If res = 0 Then ' Finished OK
        RunScript = True
    Else ' Errored
        RunScript = False
    End If

Exit Function
Err:
    RunScript = False
   ' lgr.LogError Err.Number, Err.Description, "RunScript"
End Function
