I have to write a shell script, which checks for certain values on a table (may be I can use a procedure and return some value). If the select statement return some value, it needs to send e-mail to  members of a team. Please help me.

Thanks a lot

Why a shell script? Wouldn't it be simpler to have a datebase trigger call a 'SEND_MAIL' procedure?

William,

Thanks for the reply. Since the tables are really big ones,I don't want a trigger. Also, I need to schedule a cron job to run fw times a day to monitor the tabls for certain entries. Now, I am thinking about a java program which gets called from a shell script.

Thanks,
Munna

Why shouldn't a big table have a trigger?

In any case the database already has a job scheduler (DBMS_JOB) and the ability to send e-mail (UTL_SMTP) so I'm not sure what added benefit you would get from Java and cron. In fact they would complicate things by needing to connect to the database.
