Extraction problem with sed command

Hi All

I am trying to remove the line having specific pattern from a file by using sed command

I have the file named ODS_REP_SRCE_File.txt with content as:

"FOLDR=$Path;FILE=$0;SRCDB=$ODS_REP_SRCE;SRCTBL=AP_INVC_DETL_F_V,AP_INVC_DETL_F_V,AP_CHECK_F_V,AP_INVC_PYMT_DTL_F_V;TGTDB=$EDW_TARGT;TGTTBL=AP_INVC_DETL_FS;JOBID=N/A;LOADTYP=DAILY;SRVPROCID=$$;TS=$QB_TS;"`
$ODS_REP_SRCE.AP_INVC_F_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.AP_INVC_FX_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.AP_INVC_FX_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.AP_INVC_FX_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.AP_INVC_F_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.GCD_CURR_MAIN_D_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.GCD_CURR_MAIN_D_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.ORG_MAIN_D_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.GCD_CURR_MAIN_D_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.GCD_CURR_MAIN_D_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.GCD_CURR_RT_HIST_F_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.GCD_CURR_RT_HIST_F_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.GCD_CURR_RT_HIST_F_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.GCD_CURR_RT_HIST_F_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.AP_INVC_F_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.AP_INVC_FX_V
$ODS_REP_SRCE.AP_INVC_FX1_V

I am using the below code:

  
 sed '/$DB_Name\;/d' ODS_REP_SRCE_File.txt

where $DB_Name value as ODS_REP_SRCE so my search pattern is "ODS_REP_SRCE;"

But the output is not deleting the 1st line which match the pattern.

Please let me Know how to handle this scenario..

Thanks,

Enclose the variable in strong and weak quotes.

sed '/'"$DB_Name"'\;/d' FILE
