Have you tried:
create tablespace myTablespace datafile '&cPath.mytablespace.dbf' size =
5m;

The dot ends a SQL*Plus substitution variable name in places where it =
isn't clear where the name of the variable ends and the next word =
begins.  The dot is part of the name and will be gone after =
substitution.

Subject: help dynamically adding a 'datafile' to a script


I am trying to do the following and I cant get it to take(I would prefer =
not to use dynamic sql and write my create tablespace scripts to a =
second file).

Prompt Please enter a datafile path
Accept cPath

create tablespace myTablespace datafile '&cPath ||mytablespace.dbf' size =
5m;

I've tried lots of methods including bind variables and appending before =
the create tablespace statement. Any way to do this?=20
