I am trying to write some instance and database creation scripts for an oracle instance I have on NT.
I can create the instance without a problem. My problem comes when I try to call the script to create the database. I am using sqlplus /nolog because svrmgrl is going away in future releases of oracle. The root of the problem is that I am passing a single parameter to the sql script and the substitution is not taking place.
Here is the command line
sqlplus /nolog @run.sql instance1
Here is a little bit of the code
connect internal/
startup nomount pfile=d:\oracle\admin\&1\pfile\init.ora
.
.
.
I have tried enclosing the pfile path in quotes, unquoting for the substitution variable. Nothing seems to work.
I am using oracle 8.1.7. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
John E.

what does
sqlplus /nolog @run.sql instance1
do?
or you mean
sqlplus /nolog
@run.sql
where run.sql should have the connection infos such as
user/passwd@conn_string

I was trying to run an sql script from the NT command line, and pass that script a parameter. The sql script first line is the connect statement. It's second line is the startup command where I try to substitue a "Start" variable that is received as a parameter to the script.
I think I have solved the problem with a work around. I have to set the oracle_sid environment variable anyway, so I have substituted that (%oracle_sid%) instead and it works.
Thanks for responding!
