That script works, but it assumes that he is using Oracle. Anyway, this type of assignment should work for most databases. You just replace the "sqlplus" line with whatever database command line tool you use. For example, in mysql, it would be something like 'mysql -Ddbname -u username -ppassword'. The concept is the same, thought.
