Windows Batch script to drop, create database

what errors do you get?

Not really a error
It works until the following
@ echo off
echo Make Sure to kill the Java Process
echo dropping Database Schema Owner
 and fails in this statement
sqlplus system/password drop user db_user cascade;
Not sure if the syntax for the above command is right

easiest way to do that is to create a sql file called drop_user.sql and put in it :
drop user &1 cascade;

and then call it by
sqlplus system/password @drop_user.sql db_user

you cannot have the commands you want to run on the sqlplus line.

in unix you do this :
sqlplus /nolog <<!
connect system/password
drop user db_user cascade;
exit;
!

where everything between <<! and ! is what you want to run, i do not know how to do this in windows..

Try something like this:

@ echo off
echo Make Sure to kill the Java Process
(
echo prompt ++++ dropping Database Schema Owner ++++
echo drop user db_user cascade;
echo prompt ++++ dropping application owner user ++++
echo drop user app_user cascade;
echo quit
) | sqlplus system/password

Select allOpen in new window

Hi Mike,
 the script you provided just works fine, however it stops after the first drop command, in other words after executing the first user it kind of comes back to the SQL> command line, can you please verify

Yes, maybe if you remove the prompts...

Works great, but the script is not quitting out of the SQL command prompt, i have the following

@ echo off
echo Make Sure to kill the Java Process
(
echo prompt ++++ dropping Database Schema Owner ++++
echo drop user db_user cascade;
echo prompt ++++ dropping application owner user ++++
echo drop user app_user cascade;
echo quit
) | sqlplus system/password
echo quit (also tried with just quit)

Try this one:

@ echo off
echo Make Sure to kill the Java Process
echo ++++ dropping Database/Application Schema Owners ++++
(
echo drop user db_user cascade;
echo drop user app_user cascade;
echo exit 0
) | sqlplus system/password

Select allOpen in new window

Tried, but having the same problem doesnt exit from the SQL command prompt

echo entering SQL
sqlplus system/password
echo exit 0

Select allOpen in new window

The above does not work!
Try this test:

(
echo select sysdate from dual;
echo exit;
) | sqlplus system/password

Select allOpen in new window

Here is the complete script. your suggestion above just works fine, however the same thing, that is exiting of the SQL command line does not happen for the second set of SQL statements, can you please take a look

@ echo off
 
echo Make Sure to kill the Java Process
(
echo prompt dropping Database Schema Owner
echo drop user orm_user cascade;
echo prompt dropping Application Owner
echo drop user orm_owner cascade;
echo prompt dropping tablespace
echo drop tablespace db_DATA including contents;
echo drop tablespace db_UNDO including contents;
echo drop tablespace db_TEMP including contents;
echo drop tablespace db_INDEX including contents;
echo exit 0;
) | sqlplus system/password
echo Deleting the DB files
cd C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\orcl
sleep 120
del orm* 
:: Works Until here
echo ++++ Creating TableSpace ++++ 
cd C:\dbHome\samples\sqlscripts\oracle
sqlplus system/password @create-tablespace.sql C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\orcl C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\orcl C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\orcl
sqlplus system/password @create-schema-owner.sql db_user dbuser
sqlplus system/password @create-app-user.sql app_owner appowner
sqlplus "sys/password as sysdba" @transaction-support.sql app_owner
echo exit 0;

Select allOpen in new window

That works, thanks much
