Question

I’m having a problem trying to run my sql script into oracle using sqlplus. The script just populates some dummy data:

DECLARE 
  role1Id NUMBER;
  user1Id NUMBER;
  role2Id NUMBER;
  user2Id NUMBER;
  role3Id NUMBER;
  user3Id NUMBER;
  perm1Id NUMBER;
  perm2Id NUMBER;
  perm3Id NUMBER;
  perm4Id NUMBER;
  perm5Id NUMBER;
BEGIN
  INSERT INTO PB_USER(USER_ID,USER_NAME, USER_EMAIL, USER_ACTIVEYN)
  VALUES(PB_USER_ID_SEQ.nextval, 'RoleDataManagerTests_Username', '[e-mail]',' ');

  INSERT INTO ROLES(ROLE_ID, ROLE_NAME)
  VALUES(PB_ROLE_ID_SEQ.nextval, 'Test role 1');
  INSERT INTO ROLES(ROLE_ID, ROLE_NAME)
  VALUES(PB_ROLE_ID_SEQ.nextval, 'Test role 2');
  INSERT INTO ROLES(ROLE_ID, ROLE_NAME)
  VALUES(PB_ROLE_ID_SEQ.nextval, 'Test role 3');

  SELECT ROLE_ID INTO role1Id FROM ROLES WHERE ROLE_NAME = 'Test role 1';
  SELECT USER_ID INTO user1Id FROM PB_USER WHERE USER_NAME = 'RoleDataManagerTests_Username';
  INSERT INTO USERS_ROLES(USER_ID, ROLE_ID) VALUES(user1Id, role1Id);

  SELECT ROLE_ID INTO role2Id FROM ROLES WHERE ROLE_NAME = 'Test role 2';
  SELECT USER_ID INTO user2Id FROM PB_USER WHERE USER_NAME = 'RoleDataManagerTests_Username';
  INSERT INTO USERS_ROLES(USER_ID, ROLE_ID) VALUES(user2Id, role2Id);

  SELECT ROLE_ID INTO role3Id FROM ROLES WHERE ROLE_NAME = 'Test role 3';
  SELECT USER_ID INTO user3Id FROM PB_USER WHERE USER_NAME = 'RoleDataManagerTests_Username';
  INSERT INTO USERS_ROLES(USER_ID, ROLE_ID) VALUES(user3Id, role3Id);

  INSERT INTO PERMISSIONS(PERMISSION_ID, KEY, DESCRIPTION)
  VALUES (PB_PERMISSION_ID_SEQ.nextval, 'perm1', 'permission 1');
  INSERT INTO PERMISSIONS(PERMISSION_ID, KEY, DESCRIPTION)
  VALUES (PB_PERMISSION_ID_SEQ.nextval, 'perm2', 'permission 2');
  INSERT INTO PERMISSIONS(PERMISSION_ID, KEY, DESCRIPTION)
  VALUES (PB_PERMISSION_ID_SEQ.nextval, 'perm3', 'permission 3');
  INSERT INTO PERMISSIONS(PERMISSION_ID, KEY, DESCRIPTION)
  VALUES (PB_PERMISSION_ID_SEQ.nextval, 'perm4', 'permission 4');
  INSERT INTO PERMISSIONS(PERMISSION_ID, KEY, DESCRIPTION)
  VALUES (PB_PERMISSION_ID_SEQ.nextval, 'perm5', 'permission 5');

  SELECT PERMISSION_ID INTO perm1Id FROM PERMISSIONS WHERE KEY = 'perm1';
  SELECT PERMISSION_ID INTO perm2Id FROM PERMISSIONS WHERE KEY = 'perm2';
  SELECT PERMISSION_ID INTO perm3Id FROM PERMISSIONS WHERE KEY = 'perm3';
  SELECT PERMISSION_ID INTO perm4Id FROM PERMISSIONS WHERE KEY = 'perm4';
  SELECT PERMISSION_ID INTO perm5Id FROM PERMISSIONS WHERE KEY = 'perm5';

  INSERT INTO ROLES_PERMISSIONS(ROLE_ID, PERMISSION_ID)
  VALUES(role1Id, perm1Id);
  INSERT INTO ROLES_PERMISSIONS(ROLE_ID, PERMISSION_ID)
  VALUES(role1Id, perm2Id);
  INSERT INTO ROLES_PERMISSIONS(ROLE_ID, PERMISSION_ID)
  VALUES(role1Id, perm3Id);

  INSERT INTO ROLES_PERMISSIONS(ROLE_ID, PERMISSION_ID)
  VALUES(role2Id, perm3Id);

  INSERT INTO ROLES_PERMISSIONS(ROLE_ID, PERMISSION_ID)
  VALUES(role3Id, perm4Id);
  INSERT INTO ROLES_PERMISSIONS(ROLE_ID, PERMISSION_ID)
  VALUES(role3Id, perm5Id);
END;

My script works fine when I run it using Oracle SQL Developer but when I use the sqlplus command line tool this is what’s outputted and then it just hangs:

SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production on Tue May 11 09:49:34 2010

Copyright (c) 1982, 2008, Oracle.  All rights reserved.


Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, Oracle Label Security, OLAP, Data Mining Scoring Engine
and Real Application Testing options

I’m running the tool using this command line, which works fine for other scripts:

sqlplus username/password@server/dbname @Setup.sql

Any ideas? Thanks.

You need to either put an exit at the end of the script, or run it as sqlplus username/password@server/dbname < Setup.sql (i.e. redirected input, < instead of @). You can check if that’s the issue by just typing ‘exit’ in the hanging session.

If it is really hanging, have you committed or rolled back the execution from Developer?
