Works fine for me:

% sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
> connect $LOGINPASSWORD
> SELECT *

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bi PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.3.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production

5 rows selected.

I'm curious what you mean by "you get your prompt set up with user_at_database", when you use the "-s" option its silent, so you don't see anything.

Subject: looks like oracle changed how sqlplus -s /nolog works in 10.2.0.3

Looks like when you log into sqlplus in 10.2.0.3 you get your prompt set up with user_at_database. You used to have to write a login.sql script to do this. However, this appears to have broken a standard way to log into sqlplus from a unix shell. For years I have used...

sqlplus -s /nolog << EOF
  conn ${LOGINPASSWORD}
EOF Try it. You just hang when you log in.

Also the following is necessary without -s

sqlplus /nolog << EOF
  conn ${LOGINPASSWORD}
  conn ${LOGINPASSWORD}
EOF First conn it takes your variable as a variable for the prompt, the second time logs you in.

Rather annoying. I have been on projects where I Have had tons of code written the first way with -s /nolog that would have to be changed.

anyone have a workaround to get -s /nolog to work?
