Embedded SQL in AWK script

Hi All,
Can I use AWK script to read data from Oracle table (some embedded SQL perhaps) The reason for this that I have a data file and I need to do some basic validations of the data in the file with some statistical figures related to the data file that I have stored in a Oracle table.

Thanks in advance.

No, I don't think you can use AWK for such a task.

PERL or PHP would be a better choice.

perl has DBI just for the purpose of working with a database.
There are versions for Oracle, Sybase, etc.
