Oracle Parallel processing of SQL through Shell
Hi Friends,

I am trying to write a shell which will invoke 3 CTAS (ORACLE create table XXX as select * from YYYY). The approximate time for one CTAS is around 25 mins. So i want to run the CTAS script parallely.

My pseudocode is as below.

Main script
Code:
   nohup sh CTAS1.sh & (oracle creds)
   nohup sh CTAS1.sh & (oracle creds)
   nohup sh CTAS1.sh & (oracle creds)

Upon successful completion of the CTAS Scripts return to the main script.
Again connect to oracle do some Oracle stuffs based on the 3 CTAS.

EXIT From ORACLE
EXIT From SHELL.

My concern is how can i know when the nohup scripts getting completed and it will return to the main script?

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. Smilie

Hello,

the wait statement can be used for this. Call it after starting your background jobs without an argument to make your script wait until all of them are finished.
