Connect to sqlplus from sun box

Question

Can someone please send me a sample script to connect to sqlplus and execute a .sql script.
Thanks

Answer 1

In this example, the SQL is embedded in the script. If you want to keep it a file, its sqlplus @filename
The -s switch means silent.
Also included are some sample Oracle extensions, like set echo off, which are useful when running batch scripts.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
ORACLE_HOME=/path/to/oracle
ORACLE_CREDENTIALS=user/pass@sid
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME \
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s $ORACLE_CREDENTIALS << EOS
set echo off
set feedback off
set heading off
set linesize 120
set pagesize 0
select 'foo' from dual;
EOS
