Sql invalid identifier ORA-00904
Hello
I am trying to use the following inside a shell script :

Code:
S_TAB=$(sqlplus -s / as sysdba <<EOF
    set feedback off linesize 132 pages 0 echo off verify off heading off
    select created
    from v\$database;
    select 'hurrah' from dual;
    EOF)

Spews out lots of rubbish with `ORA-00904: "hurrah": invalid identifier
at the end of a long line`

this works :

Code:
S_TAB=$(sqlplus -s '/ as sysdba' <<EOF
    set feedback off linesize 132 pages 0 echo off verify off heading off
    select created
    from v\$database;
    select 1 from dual;
    EOF)
    $ ./Check_Create_date.sh -d dba
    11-APR-13 1

It's something to do with the quotes and being part of S_TAB, but I can't figure it out. Any ideas greatly received. Thanks.
DB
