Hi All,

I need to make a SQL script and call it from Unix (bash) shell.


==================================
sqlplus vikas/vikas <<END
spool /oracle/vikas/output.txt
command 1
command 2
...
....
comman N
spool off;
commit;
END
==================================


This runs perfectly, but my problem is that if a command fails, the other commands keeps on running. However, I need to keep a check that when a command fails the script is exited.

In unix we have an option of echo $? to check the status of previous command, But how to accomplish this SQL.

Pls help !!

I guess I made a mistake by writing "Pls". I will keep this in mind for future.

Hi,

Sorry for reply late. The lines in bold helped me. Here is my final code.

sqlplus vikas/vikas << END
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT;
WHENEVER OSERROR EXIT;

spool /oracle/vikas/output.txt
desc WHITELIST;
desc USERS;
desc TRANSACTION;
desc computer;
spool off;
!echo ALL SUCCESSFUL
END
if [ $? -ne 0 ];
then
echo "ERROR! SQL*Plus failed..."; exit 1
else
echo "\n\nOne or more query has failed if --- ALL SUCCESSFUL -- is not echoed !!!"
fi


Here,
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT -- Exits if any error is encounter in query
WHENEVER OSERROR EXIT -- Exits if any error encountered in OS
desc computer; -- Wrong Line
