I suggested
by the way, not:
To repeat: First check if the input is to your liking by replacing sqlplus.. with cat..., before you do any tests on your test database..
Is that the exact content? because I see empty lines that should not be there....
I have ran wc -l over the file it displayed 3 lines only.
I have replaced sqlplus with cat ,modified while loop and the output is as follows: ---------- Post updated at 04:56 AM ---------- Previous update was at 04:48 AM ----------

The correct approach is to put the whole SQL program into a ".sql" file (as you were advised before) and call it with parameters from the sqlplus line.
An alternative is to use the Shell approach to modify the program prior to execution as per Scrutinizer's advice.
I am confused with the approach you are saying.
I have tried with scrutinizer's way,it throwed me some error msgs which I just posted now
and about the .sql to be passed as parameter approach.
how this file can be modified so
What you see there (from SET HEADING OFF to EXIT ) is what gets fed into sqlplus. Now you can check if that is what you think it should be.
yes,I dont find any mistakes with the content fed.
Am declaring 3 variables CNT,DROPCNT,ERRORCNT.
storing the count(*) value in CNT.
If that (CNT)is not equal to the $c we have passed then we are fetching DROPCNT,ERROR_CNT from the same table.
editing them and updating them in db and commiting it.
It looks fine.
isit possible to display the contents of CNT,ERRORCNT and DROPCNT used inside the script?

Hi Methyl,
can you please help me with the approach you have mentioned with the sql file.
Iam cofused with it
The corrected command syntax would be:
Where the contents of myprogram.sql would be everything in the "here document" in your Shell script between EOF and EOF and excluding the actual terminator (EOF). In other words we take the Oracle program code out of the unix Shell script and put it in an Oracle SQL script file.
Similar to your post #26 the SQL program would contain references to &1 &2 &3 to match the parameters supplied on the sqlplus command line (though in the various versions posted on both threads I have only seen you use &1).
Imho embedding SQL in Shell script is great for quick systems admin tasks but for anything more it should be a proper program with change control headers. Also you don't have to bother about clashes with Shell characters like $ .
You will find numerous examples like this in the Oracle demo examples which came with your system.
A word on security:
Most admins would suggest using the /NOLOG parameter to sqlplus and putting the Oracle account login details in an Oracle CONNECT statement as the first line of your SQL program (there's an example in your other now closed thread on this subject). Obviously securing the program file to be only readable by the owner. This stops the username+password being visible in a unix ps display and (if you have it) some forms of unix process accounting.
