Running pl/sql in Korn Shell(AIX)
- by learner135
I have a file to execute in Ksh written by someone. It has a set of commands to execute in sqlplus.
It starts with,
sqlplus -s $UP <<- END
followed by a set of ddl commands such as create,drop,etc.,
When I execute the file in the shell, I get the error in the starting line quoted above.
I understand "-s" starts the sqlplus in silent mode and $UP is the connection string with username/password. But I couldn't make heads or tails of "<<- END" part(Many sites from google says input redirection is "<<" not "<<-"). So I presumed the error must be in that part and removed it from the file.
Now it reads,
sqlplus -s $UP
But once I execute the file, It waits for input from the shell, instead of reading the rest of the lines from the file. How would I make sqlplus to execute the ddl commands in the rest of the file?. Thanks in advance.
