To spool output from a database query

Hi all,

I would want to spool file for a database query, however by using crontab, the file is not spooled. Below shows my script:

ORACLE_HOME="/u01/oraprod/perpdb/10.1.0/db_1"
OUTFILE="/tmp/invalid.out"
FILE="$HOME/admin/scripts"
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s "/as sysdba" @$FILE/compile_inv_obj.sql
sleep 30
echo exit >>$FILE/comp_all.sql

contents inside $FILE/compile_inv_obj.sql

spool comp_all.sql
select
decode( OBJECT_TYPE, 'PACKAGE BODY',
'alter package ' || OWNER||'.'||OBJECT_NAME || ' compile body;',
'alter ' || OBJECT_TYPE || ' ' || OWNER||'.'||OBJECT_NAME || ' compile;' )
from
dba_objects
spool off

I could not c comp_all.sql in anywhere of my file system. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

mysql_db_query - Selects a database and executes a query on it

SYNOPSIS
Warning This function was deprecated in PHP 5.3.0, and will be removed in the future, along with the entirety of the original MySQL exten- sion. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include: omysqli_select_db(3) then the query o PDO::__construct resource mysql_db_query (string $database, string $query, [resource $link_identifier = NULL]) DESCRIPTION
mysql_db_query(3) selects a database, and executes a query on it. o $database - The name of the database that will be selected. o $query - The MySQL query. Data inside the query should be properly escaped. o $ link_identifier -The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect(3) is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. If no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated. Returns a positive MySQL result resource to the query result, or FALSE on error. The function also returns TRUE/ FALSE for INSERT/ UPDATE/ DELETE queries to indicate success/failure. +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ |Version | | | | | | | Description | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ | 5.3.0 | | | | | | | This function now throws an E_DEPRECATED notice. | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ Example #1 mysql_db_query(3) alternative example <?php if (!$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')) { echo 'Could not connect to mysql'; exit; } if (!mysql_select_db('mysql_dbname', $link)) { echo 'Could not select database'; exit; } $sql = 'SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE id = 42'; $result = mysql_query($sql, $link); if (!$result) { echo "DB Error, could not query the database "; echo 'MySQL Error: ' . mysql_error(); exit; } while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo $row['foo']; } mysql_free_result($result); ?> Note Be aware that this function does NOT switch back to the database you were connected before. In other words, you can't use this function to temporarily run a sql query on another database, you would have to manually switch back. Users are strongly encouraged to use the database.table syntax in their sql queries or mysql_select_db(3) instead of this function. mysql_query(3), mysql_select_db(3).
