A Matter of Style

When creating SQL scripts, what methods do you use when working with them?

More specifically:
How do you split the SQL across files? For example, do you put things relating to each table into separate files (table creation, indexes for the table, etc.), or do you group similar things into the same file (all indexes in one file, all table creation in another file, etc.)? Maybe you just have ONE BIG file that contains all the code?

Thanks for your input!Hello,

in our projects we split the intitscripts per object into separate file.

f.e. one for sequence
one for tables
and so on

and a upper script that connect to the database with thw correct user and calls the single files.

Hope that helps ?

Ahh... this sounds like a good solution! How exactly do you "call" the individual files? Could you post an example?

Thanks!|||Hello,

here is a small example of a batch like we use it. Start the main.sql
in sqlplus. The other script will be called from the main.sql

Hope that help ?
