Hello Experts,

I am trying to write a simple script which contains table creation ddls for around 10 tables.
I am spooling the sqlplus output to a log file.
The log file contains the sql-plus output .
For eg : it shows "Table Created"
I am trying to know if there is a simple way to know the object name created.
for eg : Employees created instead of table created.


Writing a after create trigger is not an option .
I am looking to know if there a key word in sqlplus which helps us do this.

Thanks & Regards,
tigsav

Do it in PL/SQL and display your message using DBMS_OUTPUT (don't forget to set serveroutput on).

As Michel suggested you could do it in PL/SQL.

For example,
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> begin
  2     execute immediate 'create table t(a number)';
  3     dbms_output.put_line('Table T created');
  4  exception
  5     when others then
  6        if sqlcode = -955 then
  7        dbms_output.put_line('Table T already exists');
  8        end if;
  9  end;
 10  /
Table T created

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> /
Table T already exists

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL>


I didn't raise any exception, it was a simple demo. You could handle the exception the way you want.

Something like this:

SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf

  1  begin
  2     execute immediate 'crate table t(a number)';
  3     dbms_output.put_line('Table T created');
  4  exception
  5     when others then
  6        if sqlcode = -955 then
  7           dbms_output.put_line('Table T already exists');
  8        else
  9           raise;
 10        end if;
 11* end;
SQL> /
begin
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
ORA-06512: at line 9


SQL>



Edit : Added the code to re-raise error when sqlcode other than -955

Well, OP wants to display the message post it's creation. And one could argue how to control the message when table creation fails.

I understood that what he gave as an example was not intended to be a hard 'requirement' but I could be wrong.

To the OP: I'd simply adjust my expectations a bit. You have the script, you have the name of the table already embedded in the script as part of the ddl (surely you aren't using dynamic ddl to create a table in pl/sql. That's a very poor practice for many other reasons). So as already said, just at a PROMPT command. Or SET ECHO ON so that the DDL itself is also included in the spool file.
