To run a SQL file in PL/SQL, you can use one of the following methods:

  2. Connect to a database using the username and password in SQLPlus.
  3. Then run the SQL file using the following command:
  4. The path to the SQL file is located at @path/to/sql_file.sql.
  5. To use PL/SQL Developer, go to the “File” menu, select “Open,” then choose the SQL file you want to run. Next, click the “Run” button on the toolbar or use the shortcut key F5 to execute the SQL file.
  6. In Oracle SQL Developer, go to “File” -> “Open” -> “SQL File” and select the SQL file you want to run. Then, click the “Run” button on the toolbar or use the shortcut Ctrl+Enter to execute the SQL file.

Regardless of the method used, make sure you are connected to the correct database and have sufficient permissions to execute the statements in the SQL file.
