Passing a variable from shell script to mysql query?

I heard this was possible but from my research I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Seems it should be simple enough. Basically from a high level view I'm trying to accomplish...

Code:
. $X='grep foo blah.log'
then 'mysql command SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE ' . $X

or something like that.

This is part of my script:

Code:
cid=$(awk '{ print $2 }' /home/test.txt | sed -n 2p)
echo "cid is" $cid
cat /home/my2.sql | /home/build/env/util/connectdb.sh biller > /home/test2.txt
cat /home/test2.txt

In the my2.sql file:

Code:
select * from Notifications join Events using (EventId) where CustomerId = '&cid';

Any suggestions? Possible? If so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

David

SHCOMP(1)						       Korn shell utilities							 SHCOMP(1)

NAME
shcomp - compile a shell script SYNOPSIS
shcomp [ options ] [infile [outfile]] DESCRIPTION
Unless -D is specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh can read and execute with the same effect as the original script. Since aliases are processed as the script is read, alias definitions whose value requires variable expansion will not work correctly. If -D is specified, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are output. These are the messages that need to be translated to locale specific versions for internationalization. If outfile is omitted, then the results will be written to standard output. If infile is also omitted, the shell script will be read from standard input. OPTIONS
[D dictionary] Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for internationalization. [n noexec] Displays warn- ing messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs. [v verbose] Displays input from infile onto standard error as it reads it. EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. SEE ALSO
