I'm a little confused. It sounds like what you're trying to do is: #!/bin/ksh echo "Look at me! I'm in a Unix script!" sleep 5 sqlplus << EOF system/incredibly_secret_password select 'Look at me... here in SQL*Plus! Life is grand!' from dual; !echo "Where am I? I'm so confused! There's an orange elephant here!" exit EOF echo "Wasn't that fun?" exit
HTH, Bambi. -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 8:23 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have a Unix batch script that calls a short (5 line) SQL script. Is there any way to include the SQL statements in the Unix script instead of calling the SQL?
