how to retrieve sql result to unix....

Hi,

i would like to retrieve seql result and write it into unix text file like "result.txt"

In unix, normally, I type "sql" and get into sql,then type "select....." to run and get the result....then copy and paste into result.txt

any possible way to write a script to run it automatically?

Thanks all!!!!

depends on what database you are using

I am using DB2

so once you connect to db2 run the following on unix prompt:

db2 -tvf query.file -z result.file

I dont remeber how to implement it on Oracle. But as far I can recollect:

sqlplus -s @username/password < $sql_file.sql > $sql_file.log

thanks
Sumeet
