The usage of @filename in a sql script works in sqlplus because that is a feature of sqlplus. When executing sql from ant, you are using a jdbc connection and database specific things like this do not work.
Use a fileset to execute all the files you intent to execute. See the documentation for the sql task for an example. -Rob Anderson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 7:47 AM To: user@ant.apache.org Subject: RE: SQL scripts in ANT Hi Robert.. Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately none works with ANT 1.7 The other way of doing it would be to create different ANT targets to run different scripts and call them as per requirement.. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me, as that would not be the best way to do it in our scenario where we have 10 different scripts to run..but will have to use it if there is no go. Let me know if something else flashes in your mind.
