how to Declare 5 values to one variable with OR operation
what I'm trying to do is ... need to drop tables w/ names like
ABC_NY_2001
ABC_ORD_2001
ABC_TX_2001
ABC_CL_2001

For this, I want to write a query "DROP TABLE ABC_var_2001".
now "var" should be either NY, ORD, TX or CL.
I'm new to programming so don't know how to create a variable w/ OR operation means do i need to create array and assign these values to array ? .. if so can you guys pls help me how to solve this w/ example script.

Thanks in Advance!!!

Code:
>for x in {NY,ORD,TX,CL}
> do
> echo "DROP TABLE ABC_"$x"_TBL"
> done

DROP TABLE ABC_NY_TBL
DROP TABLE ABC_ORD_TBL
DROP TABLE ABC_TX_TBL
DROP TABLE ABC_CL_TBL

Hey kumaran,
Thx for quick response.

now I want to call sqlplus in script and drop those tables.
Actually I'm using Netezza which is similar to oracle. Below is the code i'm trying but its not working.

NZCommand="nzsql -host <HOST> -db <DB_NM> -u <USER> -pw <PWD> -A"
$NZComamnd<<EOF
　
drop table ABC_"$x"_TBL

EOF

What kind of error you are facing. Simply saying it is not working will not help us understand.

Post some output or the error.
