How to run SQL statements?

[abhi_10_20]

I am new to DBMS.....

when i construct simple queries, i can't run them either with Oracle 10g
or with MySQL. They show 'Not connected to server'.....or something like that.

this is obvious as there is no server or a central system to store the database queries....

so how to run these on a single standalone PC?

1) Open notepad

2) Copy the following code:-

@echo off
echo connect INTERNAL/ORACLE >%0.tmp
echo STARTUP OPEN >>%0.tmp
echo exit 8; >>%0.tmp
rem -- Run sql script --
sqlplus /nolog @%0.tmp
rem -- Cleanup --
del %0.tmp


3) Save the file as "Start.bat"
4) Run this file and then try your SQL commands in MySql.

Hope this will work for you..

or username as system and username u provided on installation

the batch file got executed in a flash and went off.

it didnt accept saying, 'no database selected'
