OracleScript Class
Serves to execute series of SQL statements separated by special symbols, like SQL*Plus scripts.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Class OracleScript 
   Inherits Devart.Common.DbScript
   Implements System.ComponentModel.IComponentSystem.IDisposable 
 
Remarks

Often it is necessary to execute several SQL statements one by one. Sometimes it can be performed by anonymous PL/SQL block. But unfortunately it doesn't work always. For example DDL statements cannot be used in PL/SQL. Another way is using a lot of components such as OracleCommand. Usually it isn't a good solution. With only one OracleScript component you can execute several SQL statements as one. This sequence of statements is named script. To separate single statements use semicolon (;) or slash (/) symbols and for PL/SQL only slash. Note: Slash must be the first character in the line.

If you are SQL*Plus user or need to execute scripts written for SQL*Plus with OracleScript, you may find some useful hints in the OracleScript Hints for SQL*Plus Users article.

Example
Following example executes a script and handles script errors.
public void ExecuteScript(string sql, OracleConnection conn) {
        OracleScript script = new OracleScript(sql, conn);
        script.Error += new ScriptErrorEventHandler(this.OnError);
        script.Execute();
}

public void OnError(object sender, Devart.Common.ScriptErrorEventArgs e) {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Exception.Message);
        e.Ignore = true;
}
Public Sub ExecuteScript(ByVal Sql As String, ByVal conn As OracleConnection)
        Dim Script As OracleScript = New OracleScript(Sql, conn)
        AddHandler Script.Error, AddressOf OnError
        Script.Execute()
End Sub

Public Sub OnError(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As Devart.Common.ScriptErrorEventArgs)
        Console.WriteLine(e.Exception.Message)
        e.Ignore = True
End Sub
