murach's Oracle SQL and PL/SQL
Hi friends,
I posted this in another forum, as I am waiting for a response, I thought of posting here as well:
I am totally new to Oracle SQL and PL/SQL. So I purchased the above mentioned e-book to learn. I seem to have some difficulty in getting somethings up and running, really hope someone can help.
As per the instruction given I downloaded and installed the necessary files. I ran the 'setup_database.bat'which was supposed to install all the tables and users. When I checked the log file, there are lines and lines of 'table created' and '1 row created' messages. I am curious as to what exactly did the 'setup_database.bat' file create? All I see when I open the file in notepad is this:
+@ECHO off+
+:: Murach's Oracle SQL and PL/SQL+
+:: Mike Murach & Associates, Inc.+
+:: Jan 1, 2008+
+::+
+:: Uses SQL*Plus utility to run the SQL scripts that create+
+:: and populate the tables in the AP, OM, and EX schemas.+
+:: If necessary, edit the username/password+
sqlplus system/system @setup_database
+:: Display a message about the log file+
ECHO.
ECHO For details, check the setup_database.log file in the current directory.
ECHO.
+:: Display 'press any key to continue' message+
PAUSE
Really hope someone can advise. Thanks.
regards
John
