Hi
I wanted to select a column from a v$ table struggled with it and finally came with a workaround as follows ------------------------------------ archived_log='$archived_log' begin_seq=`sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF connect / as sysdba set head off set echo off set feedback off set verify off select max(sequence#)-1 from v$archived_log ; exit EOF` echo $begin_seq --------------------------------------- However, the question is how to 'directly' take the output into a shell variable? there 'shud be' a better workaround than this !
