Full Discussion: Insert data into sql queries from a file
Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support Insert data into sql queries from a file Post 302447774 by methyl on Tuesday 24th of August 2010 09:26:29 AM

Assuming you have unix shell.

We will avoid letting shell see the SQL query because it looks like Shell syntax. We'll just use Shell to sequence external commands.

Assuming your list of numbers is in "example.dat" and your skeleton SQL query line is in "example.skl" we can generate the lines by swapping the string "DATA" for a number from "example.dat" and append to "example.sql".


Code:
#!/bin/ksh
>example.sql
cat example.dat | while read NUMBER
do
        sed -e "s/DATA/${NUMBER}/g" example.skl >> example.sql
done
