Regarding KSH: I'm using KSH88, which is about as old as they get I think. I do not know why $() doesn't work but back ticks should work fine. Bourne and Bash use back ticks; are use certain that you aren't using one of these shells?

Regarding words vs lines: this is what happened with we changed IFS. You can reset IFS to use spaces at any time letting you process words in a read loop.
Code:
IFS=' '

Regarding the if statement: mine is only testing whether sqlplus exited with a non-zero result so I don't know whether that would be relavent in your case; perhaps.

drv_hztousec(9F)					   Kernel Functions for Drivers 					  drv_hztousec(9F)

NAME
drv_hztousec - convert clock ticks to microseconds SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> clock_t drv_hztousec(clock_t hertz); INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI). PARAMETERS
hertz The number of clock ticks to convert. DESCRIPTION
drv_hztousec() converts into microseconds the time expressed by hertz, which is in system clock ticks. The kernel variable lbolt, whose value should be retrieved by calling ddi_get_lbolt(9F), is the length of time the system has been up since boot and is expressed in clock ticks. Drivers often use the value of lbolt before and after an I/O request to measure the amount of time it took the device to process the request. drv_hztousec() can be used by the driver to convert the reading from clock ticks to a known unit of time. RETURN VALUES
The number of microseconds equivalent to the hertz parameter. No error value is returned. If the microsecond equivalent to hertz is too large to be represented as a clock_t, then the maximum clock_t value will be returned. CONTEXT
drv_hztousec() can be called from user or interrupt context. SEE ALSO
ddi_get_lbolt(9F), drv_usectohz(9F), drv_usecwait(9F) Writing Device Drivers SunOS 5.10 12 Nov 1992 drv_hztousec(9F)
