Question

I have two sql script file which are to be scheduled as windows tasks.
1.sql contains this at the begining:
column dat1 new_value DAY_NUMBER;
select 2 dat1 from dual;

While 2.sql contains this at the begining:
column dat1 new_value DAY_NUMBER;
select 1 dat1 from dual;

If I am going to combine this two script into one, will DAY_NUMBER be set to 1?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

I think it’ll generate an error:

column dat1 new_value DAY_NUMBER; select 2 dat1 from dual;

column dat1 new_value DAY_NUMBER; select 1 dat1 from dual; 

The error is that you’ll have the same column variable dat1 declared twice.
