Passing variable from file to sql from script
Hi Friend,

I have one file in which some number are mentioned and number of lines are vary every time

And i need to pass that number to my sql command from script.

Suppose i have file acc.txt
Code:
45456546456
45464564565
67854353454
67657612132

Number of records are vary every time.

and i need to check the status of all these acc in our database.

Code:
select * from tablename where acc in ( all records which are in acc.txt)

my unix script is

Code:
sqlplus -s username/password @acc.sql

Please let us know how i can pass all acc records which are present in acc.txt from script to sql

i know i can pass parameter like this, but that i know that i can do if i know number of record is fixed. Please let us know how i can do this

well, first up, don't pass the password on the command line like that, it can be "seen" by anyone using ps -ef ..

There's a lot of other options:

1) externally identified id.
2) sqlplus -s /nolog
connect user@password
...
etc.

Anyway, to your question:

first, stuff the count into a unix variable:

Code:
fileCOUNT=`wc -l acc.txt`

then when you invoke your sql command, pass it in:

Code:
sqlplus -s /nolog << EOF         
   connect <user>/<password>
   @acc.sql   ${fileCOUNT}
   exit
EOF

[edit]
just make sure in your acc.sql script, you capture the input:

Code:
select &1 from dual;

(ie use &1 in a sql statement to use it)

or in pl/sql:

Code:
declare
  ln_input   number := nvl('&1',0);
begin
end;
/

(note that will throw an error if you pass a string in Smilie Up to you how to protect/handle all those side cases)
