How the user will provide the parameters for Oracle db connection in a shell script?
I'm new into unix.

My question: is possible to write a shell script which will ask for the
ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, USERNAME, PASSWORD to connect to Oracle db.

In generally we have to set the ORACLE_HOME in .profile file. And after putting the 'sqlplus' command it asks for the username & password for db connection.

plz share your ideas.

Thanks,
Priya

Code:
 
if [ -z $ORACLE_HOME ] # True if  the  length  of  string string is zero
then
  echo "Enter the value of ORACLE_HOME"
  read ORACLE_HOME
  export $ORACLE_HOME
fi

Code:
#!bin/sh
if [ -z $ORACLE_HOME ] # True if  the  length  of string is zero
then
  echo "Enter the value of ORACLE_HOME"
  read ORACLE_HOME
  export $ORACLE_HOME
fi


here is my script but it didn't ask me for the ORACLE_HOME.

if it is not asked, then it means, the ORACLE_HOME is having the value.

Code:
 
if [ -z $ORACLE_HOME ] # True if  the  length  of  string string is zero
then
  echo "Enter the value of ORACLE_HOME"
  read ORACLE_HOME
  export $ORACLE_HOME
else
 echo "ORACLE_HOME has the value of $ORACLE_HOME"
fi

use code tags while posting the script and data.

The link itkamaraj posted works. Yours doesn't because you used the shortened version. If Youtube is blocked, here's the description of the tag.
