I would like to comment on this approach

As far as possible try to modularize your approach as there are so many advantages over something that achieves in a single shot

ease of maintenance
re usability
easy to debug
no need to test the entire application if its properly modularized
and of course, nobody would curse you if somebody else has to maintain your code

for your problem you could modularize it something like
( what I post is just an example )

fetching data from db into a file
processing the data from the file
redirecting output

now the problem space is broken down easily and you could easily challenge any of the module if there is a problem.

I have burnt my fingers many times since I don't have the habit of modularizing the code and I end up writing the same code again, do the same testing again, same debugging again.
I have to admit - its a shame ! Smilie

Waste of time for which I had already wasted.

Just thought of sharing this Smilie

NAME

       igawk - gawk with include files

SYNOPSIS

       igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
       igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

       AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like

	      @include getopt.awk

       in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

OPTIONS

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
	    while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
		 ...
       }
       EOF

       igawk -f test.awk
