I want to source a sql file located in "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\malintha.sql" location. I used following command in sql plus

SQL> @C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\malintha.sql

But it gives me

Unable to open file error.

How to do this correctly ?

You are doing it correctly but the file either isn't there or you have no permissions.

  1. Double check the path
  2. Ensure you are running the SQLPlus session in a command window with appropriate privs (perhaps Run As Administrator)
  3. Try executing from a regular user directory instead of Administrator

I just tested a SQL file with:

SQL> @C:\users\msmith\desktop\test.sql

Path is correct but how to set priv for SQLPLUS session?
Open a new command prompt with "Run As Administrator", that is a Windows concept, not an Oracle concept. Right click the command prompt from the Start -> Programs menu, or type cmd into the "Start -> Run" omnibox and then right-click it to choose it.
