EXECUTE SCRIPT

Purpose

Use this statement to execute a scripting program.

Prerequisites

  • You need either the system privilege USE ANY SCHEMA or the object privilege USAGE on the target schema, or the schema must be owned by you or one of your assigned roles.

  • You need either the system privilege EXECUTE ANY SCRIPT or the object privilege EXECUTE on the scripting program, or the scripting program must be owned by you or one of your assigned roles.

Syntax

execute_script::=

Execute statement

Execute statement

script_param::=

script parameter for execute script

Usage Notes

  • Content and parameters of a scripting program are integrated in the corresponding system tables (for example, EXA_ALL_SCRIPTS).

    For more information, see Metadata System Tables.

  • The return value of a scripting program can be a table or a rowcount. It is specified as option in the CREATE SCRIPT statement.

  • When specifying the option WITH OUTPUT, the return value of the scripting program is ignored. In this case always a result table is returned. The table contains all debug messages that are created through the function output() when the scripting program is executed.

    For more information, see Debug Output in Scripting.

  • Contrary to views, a scripting program is executed with the privileges of the executing user and not with the privileges of the owner of the scripting program.

Examples

Copy 
EXECUTE SCRIPT script_1;
Copy 
EXECUTE SCRIPT script_2 (1,3,'ABC');
Copy 
EXECUTE SCRIPT script_3 (ARRAY(3,4,5));
