Connect to database(Sybase) using shell script and run a query.
Hi Buddy,
I have come across such a situation. Following is the code: Please check it
#=======================================================
# Get the Connection String for isql
#=======================================================
connection_str="-S $SERVER -U $SYBASE_USERNAME -D $DATABASE"
isql $connection_str <<EOF | egrep -v "Password:" > $TempFile1
$SYBASE_PASSWORD
{
"Please write your Sybase query in between this middle bracket."
}
go
EOF
Here
$connection_str = This would be used by shell script to connect to database in order to run the query.
$SERVER = Variable which stores the name of the remote server on which the database is installed.
$SYBASE_USERNAME = The username which the script on your behalf to connect to the database.
$DATABASE = The name of the database.
Please revert back in case of any issues.
