Statements can either be read in from a text file using the <var>src</var> attribute or from between the enclosing SQL tags.</p> <p>Multiple statements can be provided, separated by semicolons (or the defined <var>delimiter</var>). Individual lines within the statements can be commented using either <q>--</q>, <q>//</q> or <q>REM</q> at the start of the line.</p> <p>The <var>autocommit</var> attribute specifies whether auto-commit should be turned on or off whilst executing the statements. If auto-commit is turned <q>on</q> each statement will be executed and committed. If it is turned <q>off</q> the statements will all be executed as one transaction.</p> <p>The <var>onerror</var> attribute specifies how to proceed when an error occurs during the execution of one of the statements. The possible values are: <q>continue</q> execution, only show the error; <q>stop</q> execution, log the error but don't fail the task and <q>abort</q> execution and transaction and fail task.</p> <p><strong>Proxies</strong>. Some JDBC drivers (including the Oracle thin driver), use the JVM's proxy settings to route their JDBC operations to the database. <em>Since Apache Ant 1.7</em>, Ant running on Java 5 or later defaults to <a href="../proxy.html">using the proxy settings of the operating system</a>. Accordingly, the OS proxy settings need to be valid, or Ant's proxy support disabled with <kbd>-noproxy</kbd> option.</p> <h3>Parameters</h3> <table class="attr"> <tr> <th scope="col">Attribute</th> <th scope="col">Description</th> <th scope="col">Required</th> </tr> <tr> <td>driver</td> <td>Class name of the jdbc driver</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>url</td> <td>Database connection URL</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>userid</td> <td>Database user name</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>password</td> <td>Database password</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>src</td> <td>File containing SQL statements</td> <td>Yes, unless statements enclosed within tags</td> </tr> <tr> <td>encoding</td> <td>The encoding of the files containing SQL statements</td> <td>No;

This is particularly useful when there are multiple files to execute on the same schema.</p> <table class="attr"> <tr> <th scope="col">Attribute</th> <th scope="col">Description</th> <th scope="col">Required</th> </tr> <tr> <td>src</td> <td>File containing SQL statements</td> <td>Yes, unless statements enclosed within tags</td> </tr> </table> <p>The <code><transaction></code> element supports any <a href="../Types/resources.html">resource</a> or single element resource collection as nested element to specify the resource containing the SQL statements.</p> <h4>any <a href="../Types/resources.html">resource</a> or resource collection</h4> <p>You can specify multiple sources via nested resource collection elements. Each resource of the collection will be run in a transaction of its own. Prior to Ant 1.7 only filesets were supported. Use a sort resource collection to get a predictable order of transactions.</p> <h4>classpath</h4> <p><code>Sql</code>'s <em>classpath</em> attribute is a <a href="../using.html#path">path-like structure</a> and can also be set via a nested <em>classpath</em> element. It is used to load the JDBC classes.</p> <h4>connectionProperty</h4> <p><em>Since Ant 1.8.0</em></p> <p>Use nested <code><connectionProperty></code> elements to specify additional JDBC properties that need to be set when connecting to the database.</p> <table class="attr"> <tr> <th scope="col">Attribute</th> <th scope="col">Description</th> <th scope="col">Required</th> </tr> <tr> <td>name</td> <td>Name of the property</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>value</td> <td>Value of the property</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> </table> <h3>Examples</h3> <p>Connect to the database given in <var>url</var> as the <q>sa</q> user using the <code>org.database.jdbcDriver</code> and execute the SQL statements contained within the file <samp>data.sql</samp></p> <pre> <sql driver="org.database.jdbcDriver" url="jdbc:database-url" userid="sa" password="pass" src="data.sql"/></pre> <p>Connect to the database given in <var>url</var> as the <q>sa</q> user using the <code>org.database.jdbcDriver</code> and execute the SQL statements contained within the file <samp>data.sql</samp>.
