Is there anyway to make awk "talks" to DB, say any awk-ODBC tools
Hi all,

Is there anyway to make awk talk to DB ? So my awk script reads the data from some text file and eventually those data need to be stored in database.

So is there anyway to do it in awk all tohether, say any awk-ODBC tool to make it work? (I really hate to write a cpp/java program just for this simple task.)

Thanks!

Short answer - no. Long answer - there are a number of awk extensions such as Awka which can be used to do what you want to do.

Use an external tool like perl
You can always call a perl or phython script which has ODBC interfaces. There are ODBC tools as well, but you do not state your enivornment. Does your database vendor supply any tools for database loading?

Thanks for replying my question.
I am using oracle. I know sql*loader probably works for this situation.
I just want to know whether awk has such kind of utility.
