Re: is there a way too batch SQL scripts

Darryl

I did a lookup of CWBUNDBS and found a post from Kent Milligan on developerworks - he said that the opsNav interface is intended for interactive use only.

Now I did find that I could save a statement from the runner - it got an SQL extension.

When I double-clicked on the SQL file, it opened the OpsNave statement runner - no connection - it prompted for one - but that's no good for batch work.

Looks as is we need a different tool.

Let me add some clarity.

I am using v5r4 and am using the iNavigator's "Run a sql script".

So all is native in iNav.

I would like to continue running the scripts from iNav.

I would like something like

Runsql script1
Runsql script2
Runsql script3

Thanks

I understand that you want to run these scripts on your PC. So I think
you're looking for something like the commands IBM supplies for batch file
transfer but instead supports your PC based SQL scripts.
Most others are suggesting running commands on the IBM i to run SQL. They
might not understand what you are asking. But to put them into a positive
light, running the SQL on the IBM i might perform better by doing all the
summarizing on the big iron and just passing the results back to the PC.
Failing that, and a continuation on attempting to run SQL scripts directly
on your PC I know there is a way. We actually did this from DOS before I
discovered the old freebie RUNSQL (which was supplanted by IBM coming out
with their own a decade or so later). Now if I could only remember how...
Got a lot of work to catch up...
Maybe the ODBC connectivity stuff?
Maybe putting the SQL into excel?
Maybe just running the file transfers and then accessing the downloaded
data?

I have about 10 separate SQL scripts that I run from the PC command line
using the iNavigator SQL interface.



What I need to do is something like call each script in a batch(BAT) type
file.



Has anyone done this before?



I do not want to run these using a series of runsqlstm statements in a CL
program. Using RUNSQLSTM needs me to convert the scripts into source files

and the width of the source file requires me to break lines into multiple
lines which gets very messay.
