Re: How to use values from SQL to OS?

I usually do like this:

#!/bin/sh

# Setup Oracle environment
ORACLE_HOME=... ; export ORACLE_HOME
NLS_LANG=... ; export NLS_LANG
# etc.

UNIXVAR=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s scott/tiger << EOD set heading off feedback off verify off select count(*) from emp;
EOD
`

You might need to filter the first (blank) line using awk or another utility.

Cheers,
