storing Output of plsql query in shell script - linux

I'm not getting any output to my FILE for query. while I'm running in oracle I can see the counts.
Can someone please let me know what am I doing wrong?
#!/bin/bash
ORACLE_HOME=*path*
TNS_ADMIN=*path*
export ORACLE_HOME
export TNS_ADMIN
FILE="/tmp/score_cnt.txt"
sqlplus -S user/pass#service<< EOF
spool $FILE
select count(*) from score_tbl
spool off
exit;
EOF

Seems like passing the *nix variable to SQL*Plus is messing the things around here.
As far as I understand, you wish to pass the file name in the script, then the easiest mechanism would be to define it as SPOOL File directly (instead of getting it parametrized).
Moreover you can add some really useful SET parameters to beautify the output.
sqlplus -S user/pass#service << EOF
SET LINESIZE 32000
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
SET TRIMOUT ON
SET WRAP OFF
SET TERMOUT OFF
spool /tmp/score_cnt.txt
select count(*) from score_tbl;
spool off
EOF
PS - EOF doesn't require additional exit in sqlplus & select
statement must end with a ;

How to call Oracle SQL query using bash shell script

How to call a sql query using bash shell script. I tried the below but seems there is some syntax error:
#!/bin/sh
LogDir='/albt/dev/test1/test2/logs' # log file
USER='test' #Enter Oracle DB User name
PASSWORD='test' #Enter Oracle DB Password
SID='test' #Enter SID
sqlplus -s << EOF > ${LogDir}/sql.log
${DB_USER_NAME}/${DB_PASSWORD}#${DB_SID}
SELECT count(1) FROM dual; # SQL script here to get executed
EOF
var=$(SELECT count(1) FROM dual)
I'm getting - unexpected token error
#!/bin/sh
user="test"
pass="test"
var="$1"
sqlplus -S $user/$pass <<EOF
SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE username=$var;
exit;
EOF
I'm getting - sqlplus: command not found -- when I run the above script
Can anyone guide me?
In your first script, one error is in the use of count(1). The whole line is
var=$(SELECT count(1) FROM dual)
This means that the shell is supposed to execute a program named SELECT with the parameters count(1), FROM and dual, and stores its stdout into the variable var. I think you want instead to feed a SELECT command into sqlplus, i.e. something like
var=$(sqlplus .... )
In your second script, the error message simply means that sqlplus can not be found in your path. Either add it to the PATH or provide the absolute path to the command explicitly.

how to passing variable from bash to sqlplus

I have below code in bash:
#/!bin/bash
USERS=tom1,tom2,tom3
and I want to drop all users from my variable "USERS" via sqlplus
#/!bin/bash
USERS=tom1,tom2,tom3
sqlplus -s system/*** <<EOF
*some code*
DROP USER tom1 CASCADE;
DROP USER tom2 CASCADE;
DROP USER tom2 CASCADE;
EOF
pls help
Splitting in database using sql / plsql by using the USERS variable is complex and requires understanding of REGEXP functions and I will not recommend that to you. Moreover, it would also require Dynamic Sql to execute a drop query.
I would suggest you to split it within the shell script,create a script and execute it in sqlplus
USERS="tom1,tom2,tom3"
echo ${USERS} | tr ',' '\n' | while read word; do
echo "drop user $word;"
done >drop_users.sql
sqlplus -s system/pwd <<EOF
#some code
#drop_users.sql
EOF
Your code is OK except for DDL commands for Oracle DB which are derived from USERS parameter of the script file, call userDrop.sh. To make suitable relation with USERS parameter and DB, an extra file (drpUsr.sql) should be produced, and invoked inside EOF tags with an # sign prefixing.
Let's edit by vi command :
$ vi userDrop.sh
#!/bin/bash
USERS=tom1,tom2,tom3
IFS=',' read -ra usr <<< "$USERS" #--here IFS(internal field separator) is ','
for i in "${usr[#]}"; do
echo "drop user "$i" cascade;"
done > drpUsr.sql
#--to drop a user a privileged user sys or system needed.
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
#drpUsr.sql;
exit;
EOF
Call as
$ . userDrop.sh
and do not forget to come back to command prompt by an exit command of DB.

how to use /dev/null for bash command

I am using below command to get result for my SQL query.
su - postgres -c 'psql -d dbname' with stdin "COPY ( my SQL query ) TO STDOUT WITH CSV HEADER"
This works fine on my server but on different machine it is printing bash warning with output of SQL query.
For example -
/etc/profile: line 46: HISTSIZE: readonly variable
/etc/profile: line 50: HISTCONTROL: readonly variable
/etc/profile.d/20-tmout.sh: line 1: TMOUT: readonly variable
/etc/profile.d/history.sh: line 6: hcmnt_tty: readonly variable
name
abc
Please let me know anyway so that I can skip above warning messages and only get data.
If I would like to use /dev/null in this case how to modify above command to get data only.
if what you mean is "how to discard only error output?", the way to go is to redirect the standard error stream to oblivion (/dev/null), like so:
your-command 2>/dev/null
that way, if the command outputs data to standard out, it passes through, but any output to the standard error socket is discarded, so you won't see these error messages.
by the way, 2 here is a shorthand file descriptor for the standard error.
Sorry this is untested, but I hit this same error, your db session isn't read/write. You can echo the statements to psql to force a proper session as follows. I'm unsure as to how stdin may be effected
echo 'SET TRANSACTION READ WRITE; SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS AS TRANSACTION READ WRITE ; COPY ( my SQL query ) TO STDOUT WITH CSV HEADER' | su - postgres -c 'psql -d dbname' with stdin
caution - bash hack
su - postgres -c 'psql -d dbname' with stdin "COPY ( my SQL query ) TO STDOUT WITH CSV HEADER" | grep -v "readonly"

Logging sql error from inside shell script

i am trying to implement a error logging mechanism in shell script which will also give me errors inside a sql statement
I am planning to call my script from inside another script and redirecting the error to a logfile..
is there any better option ? please help.
#!/bin/sh
./test.sh 2>&1 >> log_1.log
test.sh contains the follwing code
## testing error logging in sql
result=`sqlplus -s $username/$passwd#$db <<EOF
set serveroutout on
set pagesize 0
set heading off
set echo off
set feedback off
select first_name from employees;
exit;
EOF
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Error exists"
else
echo "$result"
fi
--- Edited after testing the code given by Alex Pool
I did the changes but whenever I am getting an SQL error,log file is not getting generated instead the error is being shown at the command line..
Script name -test_error_log.sh
#!/bin/sh
output=`sqlplus -s -l hr/hr#xe << EOF
whenever sqlerror exit failure rollback
whenever oserror exit failure rollback
set serveroutput on
set heading off
set pagesize 0
set echo off
select **e.firs_name --- wrong field name**
,d.department_name from
employees e , departments d
where e.department_id=d.department_id ;
exit;
EOF`
echo $output
I am calling it from caller_shell.sh in the following way
script name : caller_shell.sh
#!/bin/sh
./test_error_log.sh 2>&1 log_file
When I execute ./caller_shell.sh from command line I am getting the error a
but not at the log_file but at the screen
ERROR at line 1: ORA-00904: "E"."FIRS_NAME": invalid identifier
Please let me know how to resolve this ..
You can use whenever sqlerror to make SQL*Plus exit with an error code, which the shell script will see as the return code:
result=`sqlplus -l -s $username/$passwd#$db <<EOF
whenever sqlerror exit failure rollback
whenever oserror exit failure rollback
set serveroutput on
set pagesize 0
set heading off
set echo off
set feedback off
select first_name from employees;
exit 0;
EOF`
It will exit when the error is seen, and nothing after the point of failure will be attempted. Using failure makes it a generic failure code, but you can specify a particularly value if you prefer. But be aware of shell limits if you use your own value; in most shells anything above 255 will loop back round to zero, so it's not a good idea to try to exit with the SQL error code for example as you might get a real error that happens to end up as zero after it's been mod'ed. Using rollback means that if a failure occurs partway through a script it will roll back any (uncommitted) changes already made.
This will catch SQL errors and PL/SQL errors (unless those are caught by an exception handler and not re-raised), but won't catch SQL*Plus-specific errors - i.e. those starting SP-, such as from an invalid set command.
I've added a -l flag to the sqlplus command so it only tries to connect once, which is helpful for a non-interactive script - sometimes they can hang waiting for subsequent credentials, depending on the context and what else is in the script. I've also fixed the spelling of serveroutput and added a missing backtick...

oracle get variables from plsql back to linux

When sending variables from linux command to a plsql block, i am calling the program as sqlplus user/pass#db #file param1 and within the file i can use the param1 as &1.
Now what happens on the other way around? If you want to have a file which will execute sth. sqlplus user/pass#db and inside this file you have select number from table and this results to a single number out.
When this executes, how can i send this number back to linux so that to use it within my sell script?
i.e. export NUMBER=the number i got from sql
You can do this using here document:
v1=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -S /nolog > ${logfile} 2>&1 << EOF
connect test/passwd#sid
SET FEED OFF;
SET TERMOUT ON;
SET VERIFY OFF;
SET ECHO OFF;
SET HEAD OFF;
SELECT sysdate from dual FROM DUAL;
EXIT
EOF`
echo $v1
