It works for me (except ksh isn't in /usr/bin on my system). However I try not to put SQL and database logic in client applications unless absolutely necessary.

I'm also puzzled about why I so often see #!/bin/ksh at the top of Bourne shell scripts. You know ksh has "!=", and arithmetic expressions, and you can write "if somecommand then..."? Is it ksh just so you can use "\n" for newlines in echo (print) commands? And why is $logfile declared if it's never used? Received on Fri Oct 07 2005 - 17:42:18 CDT
