Problems with fetching data from Oracle database

Here's a database query which looks up the NAME column of PRODUCT table
Code:
SELECT NAME FROM PRODUCT ;

And this query retrieves me the following output
Code:
SUGAR
COCOA
HONEY
WHEAT
CABBAGE
CAULI FLOWER
[6 rows selected]

Please note the last record CAULI FLOWER contains TWO blank spaces between the two words.

Now I want to do the same using Unix script and I wrote the following :
Code:
set -A prod_list `sqlplus -s USER/PWD@DB <<!
SET HEADING OFF ;
SET NEWPAGE NONE ;
SET FEEDBACK OFF ;
SET LINESIZE 4000 ;
SET WRAP OFF ;
SELECT NAME FROM PRODUCT ;
!
`

and then queried the prod_list array to find 7 instead of 6 entries
Code:
for product in ${prod_list[@]} ; do
echo $product
done

The output is like
Code:
SUGAR
COCOA
HONEY
WHEAT
CABBAGE
CAULI 
FLOWER

7 items in the array. Smilie
My guess is the TWO interim spaces within the last record value is splitting the record in two seperate records
at that point of time when I am trying to fetch the records via sqlplus (ie., via Unix).
Can this behavior be overridden ? If yes how ?
Also we tried to use a SQL cursor to fetch the values into unix , but we do not know exactly how to do it. Smilie
Can anybody help us on that too ?

Please note :
Unix version : Korn Shell
OS : Linux
Database : Oracle 11g


Thanks
Kumarjit.

Locale::Script(3pm)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				       Locale::Script(3pm)

NAME
Locale::Script - standard codes for script identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Script; $script = code2script('phnx'); # 'Phoenician' $code = script2code('Phoenician'); # 'Phnx' $code = script2code('Phoenician', LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC); # 115 @codes = all_script_codes(); @scripts = all_script_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924 four-letter codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $script = code2script('phnx','alpha'); $script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician. It also includes additions to this set included in the IANA language registry. The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used. This is the default code set. num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician. ROUTINES
code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] ) script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] ) script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 ) all_script_codes ( [CODESET] ) all_script_names ( [CODESET] ) Locale::Script::rename_script ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] ) Locale::Script::add_script ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] ) Locale::Script::delete_script ( CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Script::add_script_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME ) Locale::Script::delete_script_alias ( NAME ) Locale::Script::rename_script_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Script::add_script_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Script::delete_script_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] ) These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
