How to run sql script in an anonymous block? - sql

Question

Is it possible to run an sql script in an anonymous block?
I would like to be able to conditionally run an sql script.
#!/bin/bash
.
.
.
`sqlplus -S /nolog > log3 << EOFSQL
connect ${userName}/${userPassword}#${urlDataBase};
set serveroutput on
set pagesize 0
set feedback off
set verify off
set heading off
set wrap off
set linesize 150
DECLARE
lv_error VARCHAR2(100):='';
BEGIN
SELECT TRIM(STATUS) INTO lv_error FROM tab1
WHERE ...
IF lv_error NOT LIKE 'ERROR%' THEN
START $(pwd)/script.sql;
/
END IF;
END;

In your case it is better to write a PL/SQL procedure and invoke it from the shell script. That way, it is easier to conditionally call the second sql function/procedure.
Or, if you want to keep the logic in shell script, spool the output of the first SQL and then read it and call the second sql script.
Something like this.
#!/bin/bash
.
.
.
sqlplus -S /nolog > log3 << EOFSQL
connect ${userName}/${userPassword}#${urlDataBase};
spool spool_out.txt
set linesize 150
DECLARE
lv_error VARCHAR2(100):='';
BEGIN
SELECT TRIM(STATUS) FROM tab1
WHERE ...
END;
/
EOFSQL
errorPresent=`cat spool_out.txt|grep "ERROR"`
if [ ! -z $errorPresent ]
the
#Call $(pwd)/script.sql;
fi
