How do I read sql query into shell script?
Hello All,

I'm trying to put together a shell script that will:

1. connect to an oracle database
2. execute a query
3. save the output to a csv file

I know that I can execute the sqlplus -s user/pass @dbsid and get logged in. What I would like to do is have my query in a separate text file and read that file into the shell script to query the database. How do I do this?

Something like:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
sqlplus -s user/pass@oracle_sid
query=`cat file_with_query`

I could also use the <<EOF/EOF and pass the queries this way?:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
sqlplus -s user/pass@oracle_sid <<EOF
      {enter my query here}        
      exit;
EOF
