Yes, if you want to do something like this...   # we want to get the log sequence number that Oracle thinks is current   SeqNo=$( echo "set heading off feedback off verify off

        select sequence# from v\$log where status = 'CURRENT';"| \
        sqlplus -s / )

  echo "The current sequence number == ${SeqNo}"

You can do quite a lot with the commands you push into sqlplus but it can look very nasty.
