The above script gives error:

Table Count: 0
./test.ksh[8]: 0: not found.
Records Exist

Use square brackets in your 'if' statement

you can also set the COUNT variable in one step.

Code:

db2 -x "select count(*) from ${SCHEMA}.EMP" | read COUNT

if [[ ${COUNT} -eq 0 ]]; then
   echo "Record Count in Table is 0"
   exit 1
else
   echo "Records Exist"
fi
