The approach typically taken here is to use the Oracle-provided sqlplus command-line client, with your SQL query embedded in-line inside your shell script.
So for example, something like this:
All of the above assumes you have a properly-configured Oracle command-line environment, there are already environment variables and/or config files in existence for the client that define the details of your Oracle database instance, and so on. Likewise, the options you SET depend entirely on what format you want your output in and how you want sqlplus to behave.
But in terms of demonstrating the general approach, the above gives you a fairly straightforward example that you can them customise. You may very well find you need to parse the output of the SQL query further in order to use it for whatever you want to do next, but hopefully this is enough to get you started.
I cannot figure out how to run a SQL script, or just a sqlplus query, from a shell script (bash or ksh). Basically, I need to su - oracle from root and run a query, then test the exit status. (3 Replies)
