Hi,

I am writing a ksh script which will use sqlplus to run a sql and pass 2 variables as the SQL request. In the ksh script, I have 2 variables which are $min_snap and $max_snap holding 2 different numbers.

Inside the same script, I am using SQLPLUS to run an Oracle SQL script, which request to enter 2 set of numbers, one at a time. Normally running situation, I can enter the number from the keyboard, but since I am writing a script, I want to pass those numbers by passing variables in the script? How can I do it?

Please help!

here is my ksh script,

-----------------------------------

#!/bin/ksh

if [ "$1" = "" ]
then
echo "Usage : delete_snapshot.sh <db_name>"
exit
fi

export ORACLE_BASE=/oracle1/app/oracle
export ORACLE_PATH=.:/oracle1/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/tune
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle1/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
export ORACLE_RDBMS=$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
export ORACLE_SID=$1

curr_time=`date +"%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S"`
log_file=/home/mdbtuner/stats/sppurge/log/{$ORACLE_SID}_`date +"%Y%m%d"`.log

#echo $log_file
echo "****** Delete Snapshot for $ORACLE_SID at $curr_time ******" >> $log_file

#echo "****** Delete Snapshot for $ORACLE_SID at $curr_time ******"
#echo $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -S perfstat/perf$ORACLE_SID@$ORACLE_SID

cd /home/mdbtuner/stats/sppurge
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -S perfstat/perf$ORACLE_SID@$ORACLE_SID << EOF > $min_snap
@min_snapid.sql
exit;
EOF
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -S perfstat/perf$ORACLE_SID@$ORACLE_SID << EOF > $max_snap
@max_snapid.sql
exit;
EOF

echo $min_snap $max_snap

cd $ORACLE_RDBMS
#$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -S perfstat/perf$ORACLE_SID@$ORACLE_SID << EOF >> $log_file
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -S perfstat/perf$ORACLE_SID@$ORACLE_SID << !
@sppurge
$min_snap
$max_snap
exit;
!
#EOF

--------------------------------------------


Thanks in advance!
