To batch execute SQL files, you can use the following method:

  1. Execute an SQL file using the sqlplus command in the command line.
sqlplus username/password@database @path/to/sql/file.sql

In this case, username refers to the database username, password refers to the password, database refers to the database name, and path/to/sql/file.sql is the path to the SQL file to be executed.

  1. You can write the paths of multiple SQL files in one script file, and then execute that script file using sqlplus.
@path/to/script_file.sql

The content in the script file is similar to:

@path/to/sql/file1.sql
@path/to/sql/file2.sql
@path/to/sql/file3.sql

Then execute the script file using the following command:

sqlplus username/password@database @path/to/script_file.sql

This way, multiple SQL files can be executed in batches.
