How to Resolve SP2-0310: unable to open file

SP2-0310

Saw error SP2-0310 when we tried to execute a SQL script in SQL*Plus.

SQL> @awrrpt.sql
SP2-0310: unable to open file "awrrpt.sql"

SP2-0310 means that sqlplus cannot find any matched SQL file you specified, so it's unable to open and execute the file.

In this case, we didn't prefix any path to the file. Without any relative or absolute path, sqlplus looks for the file in your present working directory (PWD).

Let's see what present working directory (PWD) is.

SQL> !pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/db_1

The problem is that the PWD does not have the SQL file.

Solutions

To overcome such problem, we have several options.

Change PWD

We can change PWD to the path where the SQL file is at.

[oracle@test db_1]$ cd rdbms/admin
[oracle@test admin]$

Then do it again in sqlplus.

SQL> @awrrpt.sql

Relative Path

Specifying a relative path can also make sqlplus know where the SQL file is.

Child Directory

SQL> @rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql

Neighbor Directory

SQL> @../../19.0.0/db_1/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql

Which means, double dots can be used here.

Absolute Path

Specifying the absolute path is also safer.

SQL> @/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/db_1/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql

If the path of ORACLE_HOME is a part of it, you may use a question mark, an Oracle-used symbol to make the command shorter.

SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql

Done!
