<h2><a name="sql">Sql</a></h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Executes a series of SQL statements via JDBC to a database. Statements can
either be read in from a text file using the <i>src</i> attribute or from
between the enclosing SQL tags.</p>
<p>Multiple statements can be provided, separated by semicolons (or the
defined <i>delimiter</i>). Individual lines within the statements can be
commented using either --, // or REM at the start of the line.</p>
<p>The <i>autocommit</i> attribute specifies whether auto-commit should be
turned on or off whilst executing the statements. If auto-commit is turned
on each statement will be executed and committed. If it is turned off the
statements will all be executed as one transaction.</p>
<p>The <i>onerror</i> attribute specifies how to proceed when an error occurs
during the execution of one of the statements.
The possible values are: <b>continue</b> execution, only show the error;
<b>stop</b> execution and commit transaction;
and <b>abort</b> execution and transaction and fail task.</p>

<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
<h4>transaction</h4>
<p>Use nested <code><transaction></code>
elements to specify multiple blocks of commands to the executed
executed in the same connection but different transactions. This
is particularly useful when there are multiple files to execute
on the same schema.</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td>
<td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td>
<td align="center" valign="top"><b>Required</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">src</td>
<td valign="top">File containing SQL statements</td>
<td valign="top" align="center">Yes, unless statements enclosed within tags</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h4>fileset</h4>
<p>You can specify multiple source files via nested <a
href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">fileset</a> elements. Each file of
the fileset will be run in a transaction of its own, the order by
which the files of a single fileset will be executed is not
defined.</p>
<h4>classpath</h4>
<p><code>Sql</code>'s <em>classpath</em> attribute is a <a
href="../using.html#path">PATH like structure</a> and can also be set via a nested
<em>classpath</em> element. It is used to load the JDBC classes.</p>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<blockquote><pre><sql
driver="org.database.jdbcDriver"
url="jdbc:database-url"
userid="sa"
password="pass"
src="data.sql"
/>
</pre></blockquote>
<p>Connects to the database given in <i>url</i> as the sa user using the
org.database.jdbcDriver and executes the SQL statements contained within
the file data.sql</p>
<blockquote><pre><sql
driver="org.database.jdbcDriver"
url="jdbc:database-url"
userid="sa"
password="pass"
>
insert
into table some_table
values(1,2,3,4);
truncate table some_other_table;
</sql>
</pre></blockquote>
<p>Connects to the database given in <i>url</i> as the sa
user using the org.database.jdbcDriver and executes the two SQL statements
inserting data into some_table and truncating some_other_table </p>
<p>Note that you may want to enclose your statements in
<code><![CDATA[</code> ... <code>]]></code> sections so you don't
need to escape <code><</code>, <code>></code> <code>&</code>
or other special characters. For example:</p>
<blockquote><pre><sql
driver="org.database.jdbcDriver"
url="jdbc:database-url"
userid="sa"
password="pass"
><![CDATA[
update some_table set column1 = column1 + 1 where column2 < 42;
]]></sql>
</pre></blockquote>
<p>The following connects to the database given in url as the sa user using
the org.database.jdbcDriver and executes the SQL statements contained within
the files data1.sql, data2.sql and data3.sql and then executes the truncate
operation on <i>some_other_table</i>.</p>
<blockquote><pre><sql
driver="org.database.jdbcDriver"
url="jdbc:database-url"
userid="sa"
password="pass" >
<transaction src="data1.sql"/>
<transaction src="data2.sql"/>
<transaction src="data3.sql"/>
<transaction>
truncate table some_other_table;
</transaction>
</sql>
</pre></blockquote>
<p>The following example does the same as (and may execute additional
SQL files if there are more files matching the pattern
<code>data*.sql</code>) but doesn't guarantee that data1.sql will be
run before <code>data2.sql</code>.</p>
<blockquote><pre><sql
driver="org.database.jdbcDriver"
url="jdbc:database-url"
userid="sa"
password="pass">
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="data*.sql"/>
</fileset>
<transaction>
truncate table some_other_table;
</transaction>
</sql>
</pre></blockquote>
<p>The following connects to the database given in url as the sa user using the
org.database.jdbcDriver and executes the SQL statements contained within the
file data.sql, with output piped to outputfile.txt, searching /some/jdbc.jar
as well as the system classpath for the driver class.</p>
<blockquote><pre><sql
driver="org.database.jdbcDriver"
url="jdbc:database-url"
userid="sa"
password="pass"
src="data.sql"
print="yes"
output="outputfile.txt"
>
<classpath>
<pathelement location="/some/jdbc.jar"/>
</classpath>
</sql>
</pre></blockquote>
<p>The following will only execute if the RDBMS is "oracle" and the version
starts with "8.1."</p>
<blockquote><pre><sql
driver="org.database.jdbcDriver"
url="jdbc:database-url"
userid="sa"
password="pass"
src="data.sql"
rdbms="oracle"
version="8.1."
>
insert
into table some_table
values(1,2,3,4);
truncate table some_other_table;
</sql>
</pre></blockquote>
