In Oracle database, you can use the SQL*Plus tool to execute SQL files in bulk.

Firstly, save all the SQL statements that need to be executed into a text file, for example, scripts.sql.

Next, open the Command Prompt or Terminal, and input the following command:

sqlplus username/password@hostname:port/servicename @scripts.sql

In this case, username refers to the database username, password refers to the database password, hostname is the database server address, port is the database port number, and servicename represents the database service name. @scripts.sql indicates the SQL file to be executed.

After executing the command, Oracle will connect to the database and sequentially execute each SQL statement in the SQL file. The execution results will be displayed in the command prompt or terminal.

Before executing the SQL file, make sure that the Oracle client (such as SQL*Plus) is properly installed and able to connect to the target database.
