spool to file in ksh
hi all,
am trying to write a ksh script which will take a username, password, db instance as input arguments and login to the database using sqlplus and select some data via sql and spool to a file.

problem is that i am using "sqlplus -s" in order to hide the username/password and it doesnt spool any data since its in silent mode.

how do i get around this problem ??


heres the code :

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

$SQLPLUS -s $1/$2@$3  > /dev/null 2>&1

spool > "/var/tmp/out.log";

select * from dual;

spool off;

exit;



thanks.
