So I'm stuck with the subj. Oracle 9.2.0.5 on Linux, client (my box) MS Windoze XP I have following directory structure and sql scripts just for example: qaqa1.sql level 1 2\qaqa2.sql level 2 2\anotherqaqa2.sql level 2 2\3\qaqa3.sql level 3 So I'd like to call from the root script qaqa1.sql one level below i.e. = qaqa2.sql, and from qaqa2.sql one more below i.e. qaqa3.sql. But somehow = I cannot force to do that, level 2 script cannot see level 3 script. I'v = read docs, used @, @@ all possible combinations I could think of but no = success. Although I can force if I write in qaqa2.sql following @1\2\qaqa3.sql like it would be called directly from level 1 script. But = this solution isn't an option because I need run root script that = contains many sublevels as well as sublevels separately. Any solution?
