I need to loop a oracle sqlplus query using bash.
my scenario is like this. I have a set of names in a text file and i need to find out details of that names using a sqlplus query.
textfile.txt content:
john
robert
samuel
chris
bash script
#!/bin/bash
while read line
do
/opt/oracle/bin/sqlplus -s user#db/password #query.sql $line
done < /tmp/textfile.txt
sql query: query.sql
set verify off
set heading off
select customerid from customers where customername like '%&1%';
exit
problem is when I run the script I get errors like
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning
"robert..." - rest of line ignored.
can someone tell me how to solve this?
The way I do this all the time is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
cat textfile.txt |while read Name
do
sqlplus -s userid/password#db_name > output.log <<EOF
set verify off
set heading off
select customerid from customers where customername like '%${Name}%'
/
exit
EOF
Bash will auto magically expand ${Name} for each line and place it into the sql command before sending it into sqlplus
Do you have set define on ? Is your wildcard & ? You could check glogin.sql to know.
And yes, establishing n connections to pass n queries is probably not a good solution. Maybe it's faster for you to develop and you will do that one time, but if not, you should maybe think of crafting a procedure.

I have a table called query_master table which has 4 columns and the 4th column has SQL query as values. In total there are 5 entries in the query table.
Table Structure:
S.No --> Key --> Title --> Query
1 100 EG select * from dual
Now my objective is, I have to fetch the SQL queries using shell script from the query_master and execute it. The output of that each SQL query should be written on a separate log file, and the log filename should be equal to the name of the title.
Can you please help in achieving this scenario using stored procedures or stored functions which will be more helpful for me.
I need to achieve this using shell scripting.
Try this, assuming you're using mysql:
awk -F'\t' 'NR!=1 {system("mysql -u user -p -e " $4 " database")}' file
Where file is the file containing the table, user is the user and database is the database. Alternatively set these as variables instead of hard coding them like this:
awk -F'\t' -v db="database" -v user="user" 'NR!=1 {system(""mysql -u " user " -p -e " $4 " " db)}' file
Make a shell script that accepts a SQL statement from commandline (or inputfile or stdin) and does all things for you like exporting ORACLE_HOME, tnsnames, username, password, redirecting output, calling sqlplus, output formatting, deleting column headers and other sqlplus settings.
With your magicsql.sh (after testing), aim for a solution like
magicsql.sh "select key, query from query_master order by key" | while read key query; do
magicsql.sh "${query}" > /tmp/${key}.out
done
I am trying to delete last row in the file generated by nzsql.Please find the below query.
nzsql -A -c "SELECT * FROM AM_MAS_DIVISION_DIM" > abc.out
When I execute this query the output will be generated and stored in abc.out.This will include both header columns as well as some time information at the bottom.But I don't need the bottom metadata and want to keep only my header columns. How can I do this using only nzsql.Please help me.Thanks in advance.
use -r flag in the nzsql command to avoid getting that row [assuming the metadata referred in question is the row count summary line, ex: (3 rows)]
-r Suppresses the row count that is displayed at the end of the SQL output.

Why don't you just pipe the output to a unix command to remove it? I think something like this will work:
nzsql -A -c "SELECT * FROM AM_MAS_DIVISION_DIM" | sed '$d' > abc.out
Seems to be a recommended solution for getting rid of the last line (although ed, gawk, and other tools can handle it).
i am new to bash scripting and i was wondering if anyone could help me with the following.
I am trying to retrieve the competition name from a Oracle database using competition_id using the following statement:
select name, competition_type from competitions where competition_id=' ';
However i want to use a seperate text file whcih has a list competition_ids i want to identify, i want my script to find the name and type of all my ids and output the results in a txt file. this is what i have so far:
#!/bin/bash
echo Start Executing SQL commands
cat comps_ids.txt | while read ID
var=$ID
do
sqlplus "details"
<< EOF
select name, competition_type
from competitions
where competition_id=$var;
exit;
EOF
I tried to add a done at the end but i get "unexpected line ending" error message. Can anyone solve this?
Many thanks in advance :)
I'm not sure what your command line should look like, but it's more like
sqlplus "details" <<EOF
select name, competition_type from competitions where competition_id=$val;
exit;
EOF
If your list of IDs isn't too big, it may be better idea to make a ,-separated list and single query.
#!/bin/bash
function get_comp () {
sqlplus -S user/pass#database << EOF
set pagesize 0
set feedback off
set head off
select name, competition_type
from competitions
where competition_id=$1;
EOF
}
for id in $* ; do
get_comp $id
done
Put it in a file (get_comps.sh), and then call it like this
$ ./get_comps.sh < comp_ids.txt > text_file_out.txt
-S makes sqlplus quieter
The other setting make it return just your data, not row headers or anything else.
Of course the database credentials will be stored in your history, and available to other users using 'ps' or 'top'.
This is also horribly inefficient because it connects to the database for each row in your original file. If you have a lot of rows, you might try using python or ruby as their database stuff is pretty easy to use.
I'm trying to load a sql from a file in bash and execute the loaded sql. The sql file needs to be versatile, meaning it cannot be altered in order to make things easy while being run in bash (escaping special characters like * )
So I have run into some problems:
If I read my sample.sql
SELECT * FROM SAMPLETABLE
to a variable with
ab=`cat sample.sql`
and execute it
db2 `echo $ab`
I receive an sql error because by doing a cat the * has been replaced by all the files in the directory of sample.sql.
Easy solution would be to replace "" with "\" . But I cannot do this, because the file needs to stay executable in programs like DB Visualizer etc.
Could someone give me hint in the right direction?
The DB2 command line processor has options that accept a filename as input, so you shouldn't need to load statements from a text file into a shell variable.
This command will execute all SQL statements in the file, with newline treated as the statement terminator:
db2 -f sample.sql
This command will execute all SQL statements in the file, with semicolon treated as the statement terminator:
db2 -t -f sample.sql
Other useful CLP flags are:
-x : Suppress the column headings
-v : Echo the statement text immediately before execution
-z : Tee a copy of all CLP output to the filename immediately following this flag
Redirect stdin from the file.
db2 < sample.sql
In case, you have a variable used in your script and wanted to get it replaced by the shell before executed in DB2 then use this approach:
Contents of File.sql:
cat <<xEOF
insert values(1,2) into ${MY_SCHEMA}.${MY_TABLE};
select * from ${MY_SCHEMA}.${MY_TABLE};
xEOF
In command prompt do:
export MY_SCHEMA='STAR'
export MY_TAVLE='DIMENSION'
Then you are all good to get it executed in DB2:
eval File.sq |db2 +p -t
The shell will replace the global variables and then DB2 will execute it.
Hope it helps.
i have a problem which i cant figure out myself, i have a SQLite database which contains data
to retrieve the data i use a bash script and the command sqlite3 db "SELECT prkey FROM printers"
the output is something like this:
1
3
4
5
6
7
i need to parse each line and use it for my next command. and with out the use of a > file
regards Marco
The for loops work, but they are not very robust: they break if a line in the output has a space, and the shell must store the whole output of the query in memory before it starts running the loop. These two issues are easily dealt with:
sqlite3 db "SELECT ..." | while read prkey; do
echo "do stuff with $prkey"
done
#!/bin/bash
for line in $(sqlite3 db "SELECT prkey FROM printers"); do
echo "line is --> $line" # do stuff with $line
done
You can use for loop on the return value of the sqlite command.
for prkey in `sqlite3 db "SELECT prkey FROM printers"`; do
echo $prkey; #replace with your command
done;
