Using sed to format controlfile trace

Do you find it cumbersome having to format controlfile trace?

For the most part, it’s a manual and tedious process.

Using sed, it may be possible to automate task.

RESUSE overwrites existing controlfile trace.

alter database backup controlfile to trace as ‘/tmp/cf.sql’ REUSE RESETLOGS;

ARROW:(SYS@hawklas):PRIMARY> alter database backup controlfile to trace as '/tmp/cf.sql' RESETLOGS;

Commands for sed.

Removes all blank lines:

sed '/^ *$/d'

Remove all comment lines:

sed '/^--/d'

Remove all lines after line beginning with semi-colon (;):

sed '/^\;/q'

Replace RESUSE with SET:

sed 's/REUSE/SET/g'

Replace Exact Match ARCHIVELOG with NOARCHIVELOG:

sed 's/\<ARCHIVELOG\>/NOARCHIVELOG/g'

Example:
$ grep ARCHIVELOG cf.sql | sed ‘s/\<ARCHIVELOG\>/NOARCHIVELOG/g’

CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "HAWK" RESETLOGS FORCE LOGGING NOARCHIVELOG
EXECUTE :RECNO := SYS.DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.SETCONFIG('NOARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY','TO NONE');

Note the this does not work since it is not EXACT MATCH

$ grep ARCHIVELOG cf.sql | sed 's/ARCHIVELOG/NOARCHIVELOG/g'
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "HAWK" RESETLOGS FORCE LOGGING NONOARCHIVELOG
EXECUTE :RECNO := SYS.DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.SETCONFIG('NOARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY','TO NONE');

Replace database name:

sed 's/"HAWK"/"EAGLE"/g'

Putting it all together.

sed '/^\;/q' cf.sql |sed '/^ *$/d' |sed '/--/d' |sed 's/REUSE/SET/g' |sed 's/\<ARCHIVELOG\>/NOARCHIVELOG/g' |sed 's/"HAWK"/"EAGLE"/g'
or
