何时或为何使用“SET DEFINE OFF"在 Oracle 数据库中

2021-12-06 00:00:00 oracle sqlplus

我正在 Oracle 中观看脚本,但看到了一些我不认识的内容

I'm watching a Script in Oracle and I see something I don't recognize

REM INSERTING into database1."Users"
 SET DEFINE OFF;
Insert into database1."Users" ("id","right") values ('1','R');

我正在寻找有关set define off"的文档,它的字面意思是禁用命令解析以将替换变量替换为其值"

I'm looking for documentation about "set define off" and it's literally writing "disable the parsing of commands to replace substitution variable with their values"

我真的不明白他们想说什么.

I don't really understand what they want to say.

有人可以帮我吗?

推荐答案

默认情况下,SQL Plus 处理&"作为开始替换字符串的特殊字符.这在运行包含&"的脚本时可能会导致问题其他原因:

By default, SQL Plus treats '&' as a special character that begins a substitution string. This can cause problems when running scripts that happen to include '&' for other reasons:

SQL> insert into customers (customer_name) values ('Marks & Spencers Ltd');
Enter value for spencers: 
old   1: insert into customers (customer_name) values ('Marks & Spencers Ltd')
new   1: insert into customers (customer_name) values ('Marks  Ltd')

1 row created.

SQL> select customer_name from customers;

CUSTOMER_NAME
------------------------------
Marks  Ltd

如果您知道您的脚本包含(或可能包含)包含&"的数据字符,并且您不希望出现上述替换行为,然后使用 set define off 在运行脚本时关闭行为:

If you know your script includes (or may include) data containing '&' characters, and you do not want the substitution behaviour as above, then use set define off to switch off the behaviour while running the script:

SQL> set define off
SQL> insert into customers (customer_name) values ('Marks & Spencers Ltd');

1 row created.

SQL> select customer_name from customers;

CUSTOMER_NAME
------------------------------
Marks & Spencers Ltd

您可能希望在脚本末尾添加 set define on 以恢复默认行为.

You might want to add set define on at the end of the script to restore the default behaviour.
