Batch T-SQL Scripts

In Horacle (thanks to someone else for the apt pseudonym), I am able to run a PL/SQL script saved as a file by simply typing in @. plus the path and file name. So, if I have a script called E:\CreateTable.sql, I can simply enter @.CreateTable.sql from the SqlPlus command line and Oracle will attempt to run all the commands in the E:\CreateTable.sql file (there may be one or more commands).

Can I do the same thing in Query Analyzer (or even osql)? If so, what is the correct syntax?

Thanks,

hmscottI don't know of a way to do it from a script in either Query Analyzer or OSQL, but you can open a new file in Query Analyzer and execute it that way and you can use the ED command in OSQL to allow you to incorporate the file (via the editor) there too.

-PatP|||Not that I've seen...the closest is

File>Open>filename.sql

[CTRL]+E

And Whore-acle is so much more painful in SQL+...I guess each has it's own pluses...

Did you ever use mask.sql?

Oh, and osql could run in a command line pretty easily...just make sure you redirect the output...

But why bother, unless you're releasing a script to production...|||Thnx guys. Just wishful thinking...
