Hi

I am trying to run a SQL statement from a unix script determined at runtime.
It is throwing me an error. Please advise some solution to this.

echo "Enter username for the database"
read username

echo "Enter password for the database"
read password

echo "Enter SQL stmt"
read sqlstatement

sqlplus ${username}/${password} <<EOF

spool output.lst;

execute immediate '$sqlstatement';

spool off;
EOF
