hi

well i think i did this once, you can read
the output of the SQL query into shell variables by
first  redirecting the output of the SQL query to an
OS file and then reading the file and loading
the data in the file into shell variables.

/* here is sample code to redirect the output  of sql query to OS file */

#!/bin/sh

CMD_FILE=sql_input.sql
LOC_FILE=output.log

     SQLCMD="connect internal ;
          select * from sys.dba_users ;"
     echo "$SQLCMD" > ${CMD_FILE}

     svrmgrl < ${CMD_FILE} > ${LOC_FILE}     /* redirecting the out of
svrmgrl to OS file */

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 !

Thanks
