login.sql

Hi,
I am not recommending the use of glogin.sql and login.sql to do sql computation. It is degrading the performance and the maintenability of the scripts run over the database.

Myself I am using a big login.sql, which is located in the "SQLPATH" variable. I tested it with 7.3, 8.1.7, 9.2 and 10.0 on AIX. Be aware, it has side effects!

Ok, here it is

host if ! [ -t 0 ] || ! ( unset PERLLIB PERL5LIB; /bin/perl -e 'use POSIX qw/getpgrp tcgetpgrp/;open(TTY,"/dev/tty") or exit 1;exit(tcgetpgrp(TTY)!=getpgrp());' ); then :;else echo @login_ux_fg;fi >/tmp/loginsql.sql
host chmod 2>/dev/null 666 /tmp/loginsql.sql
@/tmp/loginsql

Surprised? Does this looks like sql?
Not really. I am actually checking that sqlplus is not piped (-t 0), and run in terminal (dev/tty), in foreground (getpgrp). Only then I am executing login_ux_fg.sql

Well here is my login_ux_fg.sql, with colors, terminal header and more...

Only in sqlplus 10g, this script is run at each connection. It is basically good, because the prompt will be recalculated. What less good is, is that I will have to set whenever error to continue. I found no way to reset it to its original value after connect. Same for termout

so if I have a script

whenever sqlerror exit
connect /
create table ...

It will not work as expected. You can search on asktom.oracle.com or on forums.oracle.com, you will find no solution to that problem, but many posts of mines...
