Perhaps you can avoid reading the file into a shell variable at all:

Code:
( printf "%s" "select name from table_name where cardnum in ('"
        cat parameters.txt
        printf "%s\n" "')" ) | databasecommand

Hi Corona,
Thanks for the suggestion..but still it is not working...
the input text file is like below:
Code:
1234
7654
9654
5412
7653
.
.
.
9873
6513

I need to run sql query inside a script and then store the result in a file..I am doing it like below:

The command below will make the file abc_csv.txt like below...
'1234','7654','9654'......And it will feed as input to the query. Smilie

Code:
cat abc.txt|tr '\n' ','|sed "s/^/'/"|sed "s/,$/'/"|sed "s/,/','/g">abc_csv.txt
pqr=`cat abc_csv.txt`

sqlplus -s user/password@dbschema<<EOF
alter session set db_file_multiblock_read_count=128;
alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT='yyyy-mm-dd HH24:mi:ss';
set newpage none feed off
set recsep off
SET HEADING OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET VERIFY OFF
SET LINESIZE 999
SET PAGESIZE 0

set feedback off trimspool on linesize 300
spool sql_out;
SELECT name from table_name where cardnum in ($pqr)
/
spool off;
exit;
EOF

I am able to execute this shell script if there is small data in abc.txt file...but if the file is large ..it is not working
