Question

Sorry about this newbie question.

Is there a way to execute multiple sentences at a time in iSQL*PLUS

When I execute a single insert all runs ok, but is I write two inserts an error appear:

Falta una palabra clave ora-00905

Translation: “missing word key”

Edited

I have test with and without “;”

Notice that is iSQL*PLUS and not SQL*PLUS.

Just two inserts:

insert into myTable( f1, f2 ) values (1,2)
insert into myTable( f1, f2 ) values (1,2)

Error: ORA-00905

test 2:

insert into myTable( f1, f2 ) values (1,2);
insert into myTable( f1, f2 ) values (1,2);

Error: ORA-00911

test 3:

insert into myTable( f1, f2 ) values (1,2)  
/
insert into myTable( f1, f2 ) values (1,2)
/

Error: ORA-00933

test 4:

insert into myTable( f1, f2 ) values (1,2)  
\
insert into myTable( f1, f2 ) values (1,2)
\

Error: ORA-00911

One thing to try would be to wrap your inserts in an Anonymous Block. Might be a bit kludgey but if it gets the job done:

BEGIN
   insert into myTable( f1, f2 ) values (1,2);
   insert into myTable( f1, f2 ) values (1,2);
END;

You might need to put a “/” after it.
