integer expression expected shell scripting - BASH - sql

Question

I am trying to get the LAG between Primary & Standby database using the below shell script. The query works fine returning the values "DATABASE IS OUTOFSYNC" or "DATABASE IS INSYNC" for an instance that has 1 Node which returns a single value, but I get an error "[: 0 1: integer expression expected" for an instance that has two Nodes which returns two values for the LAG on the first Node and the Second Node.
So here is the code:
#!/bin/bash
get_status=$(sqlplus -s "/as sysdba" <<EOF
set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off echo off;
SELECT prim.seq - tgt.seq seq_gap
FROM
(
SELECT thread#, MAX(sequence#) seq, MAX(completion_time) tm
FROM
v\$archived_log
GROUP BY
thread#
)
prim,
(
SELECT thread#, MAX(sequence#) seq, MAX(completion_time) tm
FROM
v\$archived_log
WHERE
dest_id IN
(
SELECT
dest_id
FROM
v\$archive_dest
WHERE
target = 'STANDBY'
)
AND
applied = 'YES'
GROUP BY
thread#
)
tgt
WHERE
prim.thread# = tgt.thread#;
exit;
EOF
)
if [ "$get_status" -ge 5 ]; then
echo "DATABASE IS OUTOFSYNC"
else
echo "DATABASE IS INSYNC"
fi
Is there a better way to write this script?
After adding typeset -p get_status after the query and before the if I get the below results:
declare -- get_status=" 1
0"
./dgtest2.sh: line 41: [: 1
0: integer expression expected
DATABASE IS INSYNC
The query is returning more than one value/string (for 2 nodes or threads) as shown in picture/screenshot and it seems like my script is only coded to address a single value/string generated by the query.
enter image description here
Is there away to modify the script to address multiple values/strings generated by the query
The logic should be if all values returned are -ge 5 it should report "DATABASE IS OUTOFSYNC" else "DATABASE IS INSYNC" for all values returned are -lt 5.
The logic for one value -lt 5 and one value -ge 5 would not suffice as the values constantly change on the database.
Any values from 0 - 4 that the database returns whether from both Nodes should report as "DATABASE IS INSYNC" and any value from 5 upwards that the database returns whether from both Nodes should report as "DATABASE IS OUTOFSYNC".

Answer 1

One idea would be to capture the status values (returned by the sqlplus script) into an array and then loop through the array testing said status values.
Instead of:
variable=$(sqlplus ...)
We want:
variable=( $(sqlplus ...) )
For OP's current scripting, with a name change for the variable, we will replace this:
get_status=$(sqlplus -s "/as sysdba" <<EOF
set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off echo off;
SELECT prim.seq - tgt.seq seq_gap
...
exit;
EOF
)
With this:
status_array=( $(sqlplus -s "/as sysdba" <<EOF
set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off echo off;
SELECT prim.seq - tgt.seq seq_gap
...
exit;
EOF
) )
One idea for the follow-on logic testing:
default database status is INSYNC
if any status values are -ge 5 then set database status to OUTOFSYNC
The code for this looks like:
db_status='INSYNC'
for status in "${status_array[#]}"
do
[[ "${status}" -ge 5 ]] && db_status='OUTOFSYNC' && break
done
echo "DATABASE IS ${db_status}"
I'm not setup to run the sqlplus script but I should be able to simulate the results with the following array assignments:
status_array=(1)
status_array=(7)
status_array=(0 1)
status_array=(5 7)
status_array=(5 3)
Running our code for each of these array assignments gives us:
##################### status_array=(1)
DATABASE is INSYNC
##################### status_array=(7)
DATABASE is OUTOFSYNC
##################### status_array=(0 1)
DATABASE is INSYNC
##################### status_array=(5 7)
DATABASE is OUTOFSYNC
##################### status_array=(5 3)
DATABASE is OUTOFSYNC
