Alaeddin,

TempFile1: its the name of a temproary file. Suppose if due to some prob the shell script is not able to connect to your database and you want the error in some file...We ve used temp file for this purpose. If you dont specify this den the error will be displayed on the shell prompt. If dis is ok wid u den u need not use d temp file.

Or u can do something like....declare the tempfile as u ve declared the other variables(specify d full path).

For the query:
Use the database query using while loop between the middle brackets...
You can use only database queries once the connection to database is eastablished....
And the database connection gets eastablished just after you give the isql command...
Try using the below code snippet in place of middle brackets.:

declare @i int
select @i = 1
while(@i <= 3)
begin
Insert into TEST values (3,"Test","TestDesc")
select @i = @i + 1
end


U should not use middle brackets dere..I had used it just to let you know the area where u need to write the query.
Try it out,buddy.....

drop_database

DROP 
DATABASE(7)						   SQL Commands 						  DROP DATABASE(7)

NAME

       DROP DATABASE - remove a database

SYNOPSIS

       DROP DATABASE name

   INPUTS
       name   The name of an existing database to remove.

   OUTPUTS
       DROP DATABASE
	      This message is returned if the command is successful.

       DROP DATABASE: cannot be executed on the currently open database
	      You  cannot  be connected to the database you are about to remove.  Instead, connect to template1 or any other database and run this
	      command again.

       DROP DATABASE: may not be called in a transaction block
	      You must finish the transaction in progress before you can call this command.

DESCRIPTION

       DROP DATABASE removes the catalog entries for an existing database and deletes the directory containing the data.  It can only be  executed
       by the database owner (usually the user that created it).

       DROP DATABASE cannot be undone. Use it with care!

   NOTES
       This  command  cannot  be executed while connected to the target database. Thus, it might be more convenient to use the shell script dropdb
       [dropdb(1)], which is a wrapper around this command, instead.

       Refer to CREATE DATABASE [create_database(7)] for information on how to create a database.

COMPATIBILITY

   SQL92
       DROP DATABASE statement is a PostgreSQL language extension; there is no such command in SQL92.
