Ultimate goal is to delete temp files belonging the the earliest created named process.
Current results of command:
>wmic process where name='<xyz.exe>' get creationdate
CreationDate
20230209140434.535724+000
20230209140527.350080+000
How do I single out the oldest of the above, and pass it into a variable?
I've attempted examples given here
Update
My code:
#echo off
for /f %%i in ('wmic process where name^="<xyz.exe>" get creationdate') do (
for %%b in (%%i) do (
set "TS=%%i"
)
)
echo TimeStamp : "%TS%"
The above results in passing the newest creationdate.
Update2
Attempted the following first:
#echo off
for /f %%i in ('wmic process where name^="xyz.exe" get creationdate ^| sort) do (
for %%b in (%%i) do (
set "TS=%%i"
)
)
echo TimeStamp : "%TS%"
The above returns:
TimeStamp : CreationDate
If I change the code to:
#echo off
for /f %%i in ('wmic process where name^="xyz.exe" get creationdate ^| sort /r) do (
for %%b in (%%i) do (
set "TS=%%i"
)
)
echo TimeStamp : "%TS%"
This returns the date I'm looking for.
However, why does the first set of code, in Update2, return the header?

I have created a a script that execute sql (Sybase)
#!/bin/bash
command=$(
isql -U databasename_dba -P password -b <<EOF!
select label1, label2 from TABLE
go
EOF!
)
echo "$command" >> output_file.csv):
All good so far, the file is produced:
But as you can see, the output is represented in 1 column.
Is possible to add "Headers" and divide the column is 2 columns, my desired output would be:
Try to remove -b.
#!/bin/bash
command=$(
isql -U databasename_dba -P password <<EOF!
select label1, label2 from TABLE
go
EOF!
)
echo "$command" >> output_file.csv):
I'm looking to pass in a parameter into a SQL file from my UNIX script. Unfortunately having problems with it.
Please see UNIX script below:
#!/bin/ksh
############
# Functions
_usage() {
SCRIPT_NAME=XXX
-eq 1 -o "$1" = "" -o "$1" = help -o "$1" = Help -o "$1" = HELP ]; then
echo "Usage: $SCRIPT_NAME [ cCode ]"
echo " - For example : $SCRIPT_NAME GH\n"
exit 1
fi
}
_initialise() {
cCode=$1
echo $cCode
}
# Set Variables
_usage $#
_initialise $1
# Main Processing
sql $DBNAME < test.sql $cCode > $PVNUM_LOGFILE
RETCODE=$?
# Check for errors within log file
if [[ $RETCODE != 0 ]] || grep 'E_' $PVNUM_LOGFILE
then
echo "Error - 50 - running test.sql. Please see $PVNUM_LOGFILE"
exit 50
fi
Please see SQL script (test.sql):
SELECT DISTINCT v1.*
FROM data_latest v1
JOIN temp_table t
ON v1.number = t.id
WHERE v1.code = '&1'
The error I am receiving when running my UNIX script is:
INGRES TERMINAL MONITOR Copyright 2008 Ingres Corporation
E_US0022 Either the flag format or one of the flags is incorrect,
or the parameters are not in proper order.
Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
NOTE: While I don't work with the sql command, I do routinely pass UNIX parameters into SQL template/script files when using the isql command line tool, so fwiw ...
The first thing you'll want to do is replace the &1 string with the value in the cCode variable; one typical method is to use sed to do a global search and replace of &1 with ${cCode} , eg:
$ cCode=XYZ
$ sed "s/\&1/${cCode}/g" test.sql
SELECT DISTINCT v1.*
FROM data_latest v1
JOIN temp_table t
ON v1.number = t.id
WHERE v1.code = 'XYZ' <=== &1 replaced with XYZ
NOTE: You'll need to wrap the sed code in double quotes so that the value of the cCode variable can be referenced.
Now, to get this passed into sql there are a couple options ... capture the sed output to a new file and submit that file to sql or ... [and I'm guessing this is doable with sql], pipe the sed output into sql, eg:
sed "s/\&1/${cCode}/g" test.sql | sql $DBNAME > $PVNUM_LOGFILE
You may need '\p\g' around your SQL in the text file?
I personally tend to code in the SQL to the script itself, as in
#!/bin/ksh
var=01.01.2018
db=database_name
OUTLOG=/path/log.txt
sql $db <<_END_ > $OUTLOG
set autocommit on;
\p\g
set lockmode session where readlock = nolock;
\p\g
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE date > '${var}' ;
\p\g
_END_
exit 0
I have the properties.txt file containing sql scripts, where I need to pass the variable value through windows batch file.
Issue scenario query is:
SELECT a,b,c
FROM dual
where TO_CHAR(EXPECTED_RECOGNITION_DATE,'MM-YYYY') = TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(sysdate,-1),'MM-YYYY')
I would like to pass value for through variable parameter such that this function: TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(sysdate,-1),'MM-YYYY') will provide dynamic output as:"12-2016" & in next month it will be "01-2017"
Please provide your thoughts.
Admitting we are in January 2017, to compute the "12-2016" thing in batch, you can do :
::get current month and year
for /F "tokens=1-3 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (
set month=%%b
set year=%%c
)
::get the previous month
if "%month" NEQ "01" (
set /A month=%month%-1
) else (
set month=12
set /A year=%year%-1
)
::if things like "1-2017" aren't valid, you can add a zero
set month=00%month%
set month=%month:~-2%
::compute the final date
set date=%month%-%year%
::now call your request like #user2956477 said, using %date%
::(don't forget to add quotes if needed)
if you feel disturbed with the "for" syntax, take a look at the man (type for /? in your terminal). Take a look in particular at the /F options.
I have an sql query that returns a date.
I call this query from a shell script and would like to assign this value to the variable called datestart (and use it later). Here is my code. Without the datestart assignment the query works fine.
#!/bin/sh
firstname="-Upgsql"
dbname="statcoll"
portname="-p5438"
datestart=(psql $firstname $portname $dbname<< EOF
SELECT MIN(latestrefdate) FROM (SELECT MAX(referencedate) AS latestrefdate FROM statistics WHERE transactionname IN(SELECT DISTINCT transactionname FROM statistics WHERE platform = 'Smarties')GROUP BY transactionname) as earliest;
EOF
)
echo $datestart
but the result is this :
Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")").
I have no idea where should I insert that closing bracket. Any hint is appreciated.
Instead of brackets in variable assignment you need to use $(...) for BASH or `...` for sh.
Try this:
#!/bin/sh
firstname="-Upgsql"
dbname="statcoll"
portname="-p5438"
datestart=`psql -t --pset="footer=off" --user="$firstname" --port="$portname" -d "$dbname"<<EOF
SELECT MIN(latestrefdate) FROM (SELECT MAX(referencedate) AS latestrefdate FROM statistics WHERE transactionname IN (SELECT DISTINCT transactionname FROM statistics WHERE platform = 'Smarties') GROUP BY transactionname) as earliest;
EOF
`
echo "$datestart"
i have this script that retrieves a parameter (a number) from a SQL query and assigns it to a variable.
there are two options - either the SQL query finds a value and then the script preforms
echo "the billcycle number is $v_bc", or it doesnt find a value and it suppose to
echo "no billcycle parameter found".
im having a problem with the if condition.
this is what i came up with:
#!/bin/bash
v_bc=`sqlplus -s /#bscsprod <<EOF
set pagesize 0
select billcycle from bc_run
where billcycle not in (50,16)
and control_group_ind is null
and billseqno=6043;
EOF`
if [ -z "$v_bc" ]; then echo no billcycle parameter found
else echo "the billcycle parameter is $v_bc"
fi
when billseqno=6043, then it means that v_bc=25, and when i run the script, the result is:
"the billcycle parameter is 25". which is what i ment it to do.
when i set billseqno=6042, according to the above SQL query, v_bc will get no value, therefore what i want it to do is echo "no billcycle parameter found".
instead i get
"the billcycle parameter is
no rows were selected".
any suggestions ?
thanks very much
Assaf.
Your code is correctly checking for an empty value -- v_bc is just not empty, even with -s.
You may either:
parse the output of sqplus when no rows are returned, so add this:
if [[ "$v_bc" == "no rows were selected" ]]; then v_bc=""; fi
This uses the bash [[ ]] command with "==" for pattern matching so we don't need to worry about leading/trailing whitespace. This is not as robust as dogbane's SET FEEDBACK OFF since it's entirely possible for "no rows were selected" to be valid data.
write a better query which always returns data, like this:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:594023455752#followup-221571500346463844
The trick being to reformulate your query and use select/union with a fallback query that conditionally provides output when your query is empty:
with data as
(select billcycle from bc_run where [...])
select * from data
union all
select 'NA', null from dual where not exists (select null from data);
(see also What is the dual table in Oracle? )
Try turning feedback off in sqlplus so that you don't get any output if no rows are selected:
v_bc=`sqlplus -s /#bscsprod <<EOF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
set pagesize 0
select billcycle from bc_run
where billcycle not in (50,16)
and control_group_ind is null
and billseqno=6043;
EOF`
Try something like
if [ "${v_bc:-SHOULDNTHAPPEN}" = "SHOULDNTHAPPEN" ]; then
echo no billcycle parameter found
else......
The idiomatic way to assign a value to a variable if that variable is empty is with an = in a parameter expansion. In other words, this:
: ${v_bc:=no billcycle paramter found}
is equivalent to:
test -z "$v_bc" && v_bc='no billcycle paramter found'
In your case, it would also be easy to do:
echo ${v_bc:-no billcycle parameter found}
but the question asked in the title is not really the problem in your case. (Since the problem is not that v_bc is the empty string, but rather that it is a value you do not expect.)
