前两天看到有人在pub上问在sqlplus中通过define和variable定义,以及column定义的变量的区别。其实define定义的我理解不是变量而是字符常量,通过define定义之后,在通过&或者&&引用的时候不需要输入了,仅此而已。oracle在执行的时候自动用值进行了替换;而variable定义的是绑定变量。

column定义:column colvar NEW_VALUE sqlvar,告诉sqlplus 取得colvar列中的值,并将这个值赋给替换变量sqlvar.
SQL> column colvar NEW_VALUE sqlvar;
SQL> select 'val' colvar from dual; -- sqlvar的值被赋值为val.
COL
---
val
SQL> select '&sqlvar' xxx from dual; --可以看到sqlvar的值为val.
old 1: select '&sqlvar' xxx from dual
new 1: select 'val' xxx from dual
XXX
---
val
通常用来设置SQL提示符的方法:
SQL> column global_name new_value gname;
SQL> select lower(user) || '@' || substr ( global_name,1,
decode (dot,0,length(global_name), dot-1)) global_name
from (select global_name,instr(global_name,'.')dot from global_name );
set sqlprompt '&gname>';

在http://warehouse.itpub.net/post/777/458719的基础上加了column的用法
