I want to execute a powershell script from sqlplus which use a the variable a. As you can see if you execute this code, a isn't recognized. I would like this code to print 22, not a or :a
variable a varchar2;
a='22'
host powershell.exe echo :a
host powershell.exe echo a
:a
a
CodePudding user response:
You could use a substitution variable:
define a=22
host powershell.exe echo &a
If you already have the bind variable defined and populated by a process you don't want to change, you can set the substitution variable value using a dummy query and column ... new_value
syntax.
