with sqlplus for oracle you can do:

shell>sqlplus username/password @filename_with_sql.sql


where filename_with_sql.sql looks like this for example:
------------------------------------------
select * from v$database;
quit
-------------------------------------------

here is another way:

horiz=`sqlplus -s scott/tiger@test_db <<END
set pagesize 0
set feedback off
set heading off
set echo off
set verify off
select sysdate from dual;
exit;
END`
