Hi
I'm trying to create a connection with DB from shell script using the following string
sqlplus <user>@<db_instance>/<password>
in which I'm successful.
However, after connecting to DB it is giving me a sql prompt as follows
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL>
But I want to run a select query on DB and to save that output into some variable so that I can use that variable some where in my shell script.
or Can I pull the value from DB and store in some variable without going to the sql prompt ?
Can anybody help me out for this?
I'll appreciate your help.
Regards,
Sumit Saini
