Variables from SQLPLUS to UNIX [message #276915]

So how do I retrieve that SCN number back into a SQL Script?

I want to do the following:

sqlplus -s $user/$pass <<EOF
select current_scn from v$database;
exit
EOF

expdp $user/$pass@$db flashback_scn=$current_scn full=y

How do I extract that current_scn?

Thanks in advance,
Phillip

sqlplus -s $user/$pass <<EOF
spool myexpdp.sh
select 'expdp $user/$pass@$db flashback_scn='||current_scn||'  full=y' from v$database;
spool off
exit
EOF
sh -x myexpdp.sh

Hi Ana,

Thanks...

Here is my script...
-------------------------------------
export VIEW="v\$database"

EXPORT=`sqlplus -s ${USERNAME}/${PASSWORD}@${ORACLE_SID} <<EOF
set feed off head off timing off linesize 250
spool /home/oracle/result.out
select 'exp ${USERNAME}/${PASSWORD}@${ORACLE_SID} file=${BACKUP_PATH}/${TAG}.DMP log=${EXPLOG}/EXP_${TAG}.LOG buffer=100000 statistics=none flashback_scn='||current_scn||' full=y' from ${VIEW};
spool off
exit
EOF`
-------------------------------------

Question:
===========
If I am kicking this script off of a client machine, using Oracle 10g client tools, how can I make this script run server side?

Considering that when I use RMAN from the client side, I am able get the backed up files stored on the server side. Which is what I want.
Is it that I need to use datapump or can binary exports do the trick for me.
