Hi,

I am just doing R&d. I am trying to insert & character in table.

SET SCAN OFF;
insert into tmp1 values ('Yash''&Thakur') 


When i am selecting both sql statements and execute both command as 'excute as a script' button on toad, record got insert in table. When i am executing both command one by one i am getting error in first command in toad

ORA-00922: missing or invalid option 


plz suggest me why i am getting error.

SET SCAN OFF is a SQL*Plus command, I don't think TOAD recognises it.

Yes, it ignored the first statement and processed the second one.

If it is ignore the first statement then second statement should ask for substitute variable value due to & character..but it is not asking for the same ..

"Set scan off" appears to work in my version (8.6.1), but you may have a different version with different functionality. Have a look in the TOAD options and see if you can switch off the variable substitution there.

TOAD can process statements as a SQL script. If you choose that execution method, it knows the SQL SET commands (not all of them if I remember correctly, but you got the TOAD help for details).

But TOAD can also process single statements. Then it won't recognize SQL*Plus commands. You can simulate this in SQL plus by using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE:
SQL> begin
  2    execute immediate 'set scan off';
  3  end;
  4  /
begin
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
ORA-06512: at line 2


My conclusion is: if it is a script, execute it as a script. Wink

A deprecated SQL*Plus command at that Wink
