How to include SQL within a script

Hi,

I have a script I am developing (actually more than 1 just now).

1st part - executes SQL in a 2nd script.
2nd part - reformats the output of the sql into a csv

Problem:

How am I able to run the SQL from the first script? I assume there is a sql command? I generally use isql when interrogating by myself but I have never had a need to add it to a script before.

Edit - I only want 1 script which deals with the entire process.

not ideal, it is too long winded. I don't need credentials as the user running the script will already have read/write on the database. I am hoping there is an easier method...

I am hoping for a simple command to run the SQL within a shell script.

My current method works fine but I would like to merge it into 1 script. I basically echo the SQL to a 2nd file, 2ndfile.sql, then include the command to run that file within my 1st script.
