I am issuing a command
$nohup sqlplus "/ as sysdba" #script.sql &
And on executing this nohup.out file contains this error:
Error 45 initializing SQL*Plus
How to resolve it?
Check the command terminators. If you have anonymous plsql blocks, typically they would look like
DECLARE
some stuff
BEGIN
sql statements;
END;
You have to add another line with a lone "/" after it, or you will get this error.

I am trying to create a sealed command for my build pipeline which inserts data and quits.
So far I have created my data files
things-to-import-001.sql and 002 etc, which contains all the INSERT statements I'd like to run, with a file per table.
I have created a command file to run them
-- import-all.sql
.read ./things-to-import-001.sql
.read ./things-to-import-002.sql
.quit
However when I run my command
sqlite3 -init ./import-all.sql ./database.sqlite
..the data is inserted, but the program remains running and shows the sqlite> prompt, despite the .quit command. I have also tried using .exit 0.
From the sqlite3 --help
-init FILENAME read/process named file
Docs: https://www.sqlite.org/cli.html#reading_sql_from_a_file
How can I tell sqlite to exit once my inserts have finished?
I have managed to find a dirty workaround for this issue.
I have updated my import file to include a bad command, and executed using -bail to quit on first error.
-- import-all.sql
.read ./things-to-import-001.sql
.read ./things-to-import-002.sql
.fakeErrorToQuitWithBail
Then you can execute with
sqlite3 -init import-all.sql -bail
and it should quit with
Error: unknown command or invalid arguments: "fakeErrorToQuitWithBail". Enter ".help" for help
Try using ".exit" at the place of ".quit". For some reason SQLite dont doccumented this commands.

I'm getting an error when running an SQLite script.
--drop use table before replacing it
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS db.use;
--Create the use table in the saved database
CREATE TABLE db.use AS SELECT * FROM use2; -- this is the line that generates the error: Error: near line 145: database is locked
Are these two statements run asynchronously or something? I don't understand what's causing the error, but I'm wondering if it has to do with that.
Might there be a way to run the script in a lock-step manner, i.e. non-asynchronously?
This is how I was running the command: sqlite3 --init script_name.sql dbname.db, and elsewhere in the script I had an ATTACH statement reading the same database dbname.db. Essentially reading the same file twice.
The way I solved this was by executing the script in the sqlite3 shell:
sqlite3> .read script_name.sql
Have you tried to add a commit statement after the drop statement?
I think that would make sure the create table statement run after the drop statement is totally done.
I have written a shell script which is calling another sql file, which is disabling triggers in oracle.
but this sql file is generating lot of oracle errors and in log file of script, I am getting response like
ORA-21021 -- oracle errros ORA-20111 -- oracle errors
I would like to add a new line getting the oracle errors something like
ORA-21021 --** oracle errors**
ORA-20111 --** oracle errors**
How this can be done?
sql file code:
alter trigger trigger_name1 disable;
alter trigger trigger_name2 disable;
alter trigger trigger_name3 disable;
alter trigger trigger_name4 disable;
alter trigger trigger_name4 disable;
A solution with perl
perl -pe 's/ORA-\d/\n$&/g' <oldfile >newfile
to add a newline before sequences ORA- followed by a number (\d)
I was able to achieve this by below method:
SQL=$(echo "$SQL" | sed -e 's/ERROR/\\n\rERROR/g')
echo $SQL
I have written a QT GUI program where pressing a button will execute a .sh script. The contents of the script is-
echo -e 'attach database 'testdatabase.db' as 'aj';\n.separator ","\n.import ora_exported.csv qt_ora_exported' | sqlite3 testdatabase.db
basically the script will import a .csv to an sqlite database. And when the script file (script.sh) is run manually from linux terminal ($./script.sh) it successfully imports the .csv file into the database table.
But, when I call the script from my QT program
void MainWindow::on_importButton_clicked()
{
QProcess process;
process.startDetached("/bin/sh",QStringList()<<"/home/aj/script.sh");
}
it compiles successfully but gives an error message in console when the button is pressed at runtime.
Error: near line 1: near "-": syntax error
Error: cannot open "ora_exported.csv"
what could be causing this ???
EDITED
I have changed my .sh script now to--
echo -e 'attach database 'testdatabase.db' as 'aj';\n.separator ","\n.import /home/aj/ora_exported.csv qt_ora_exported' | sqlite3 testdatabase.db
Thus providing the path to my ora_exported.csv. As a result the runtime error [Error: cannot open "ora_exported.csv"] has gone but the other message [Error: near line 1: near "-": syntax error] is still coming.
Same as was observed in previous case, using ./script.sh is successfully importing data to sqlite3 db table file but QProcess is unable to.
echo is a built in command of a shell that may behave differently.
E.g. take this test script: echotest.sh
echo -e "123"
Now we can compare different results:
$ bash echotest.sh
123
$ zsh echotest.sh
123
$ dash echotest.sh
-e 123
You are probably on some Ubuntu-like OS, where /bin/sh redirects to dash. That would explain the error around "-". So if you are using echo, set you shell specificially or ensure that your script works on all common shells.
Additionally, you are messing up your quotations
echo -e 'attach database 'testdatabase.db' as 'aj';\n.separator ","\n.import /home/aj/ora_exported.csv qt_ora_exported'
results in (no quotations in the first line)
attach database testdatabase.db as aj;
.separator ","
.import /home/aj/ora_exported.csv qt_ora_exported
but you pobably want
echo -e "attach database 'testdatabase.db' as 'aj';\n.separator ','\n.import /home/aj/ora_exported.csv qt_ora_exported"
It looks strange that you are using external script to update database!
why you don't pass "ora_exported.csv" file name as a script argument? This would help solve the problem.
I was talking (typing) about this solution:
void MainWindow::on_importButton_clicked()
{
QProcess::startDetached("/bin/sh",
QStringList()<<"/home/aj/script.sh",
"<location of: 'ora_exported.csv' file>");
}
I have the following shell script
cat <<EOF | sqlite3 /path/to/my/db.sqlite
.mode line;
select item from mytable;
EOF
When running the script with output redirection, I get this error:
Error: mode should be one of: column csv html insert line list tabs tcl
This happens also when I try different modes. When I run the script without output redirection (printing to terminal), it works fine. What's going on?
Figured it out-- actually the same error was being thrown without output redirection, but I was missing it because normal output was being dumped to the screen instead of a file. The problem in my script is that there should be no ; after mode line.
