Error while connecting to Oracle with Script
Experts,

I am using the following Linux version:

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-22.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Sep 19 18:32:14 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

and creating a ksh script with below code in it.
Code:
clear
sqlplus RIB/RIB321@RIB_LOCAL
#whenever sqlerror exit failure
#set serveroutput on size 1000000
exec entry_to_employees_result('Raja','Khan','eftgggs@gmail.com','12');
exit;

while running the above script, It connects me to the oracle database but its not executing the procedure 'entry_to_employees_result'. Then, writing EXIT manually i am getting the below mentioned error:
Code:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Feb 23 04:38:36 2011
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL> exit
Disconnected from Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
./insert_to_table.ksh[14]: syntax error: `(' unexpected
[origin@localhost testdir]$


Can anyone help me out of this.

Regards
Oracle User

Welcome to the forum.
You need a method which tells shell that the below commands are sqlplus commands and not shell commands. "Here documents" is the solution for that.

Code:
sqlplus RIB/RIB321@RIB_LOCAL << SQL
--whenever sqlerror exit failure
--set serveroutput on size 1000000
exec entry_to_employees_result('Raja','Khan','eftgggs@domain.com','12');
exit;
SQL
