Assigning value of SQL output to a variable in shell scripting
I am trying to assgn the output of the select statement to a variable, like this

"VARIABLE_NAME=$ db2 "select COLUMN_NAME_1 from TABLE_NAME where COLUMN_NAME_2='VALUE_TO_CHECK'"; "

but the value that is getting into VARIABLE_NAME is

"COLUMN_NAME_1
-----------------
VALUE

1 record(s) selected"

I came to know by doing echo.

How to get only the VALUE in to the VARIABLE_NAME ??

Please help

Something like this?

Code:
VARIABLE_NAME=$(select COLUMN_NAME_1 from TABLE_NAME where COLUMN_NAME_2='VALUE_TO_CHECK")

or

Code:
VARIABLE_NAME=`select COLUMN_NAME_1 from TABLE_NAME where COLUMN_NAME_2='VALUE_TO_CHECK" `
