Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Unix Q: ksh scripting
Ross,
You are hitting a couple of problems here:
1 - the 'tail' command needs to be on your first line (sqlplus / <<EOF | tail -1)
2. However, I suspect this will not give you what you want as sqlplus prints a blank line at the end. Try the following:
sqlplus -s / << EOF | grep -v ^$ | sed -n '$p
select sysdate from dual;
exit
EOF
Grep will remove blank lines - sed will print last line. I'm sure there are
many more ways of doing this.
HTH, Chris

Hi all,
Can any of our Unix gurus here transform my script below to work properly?
The intention is to print the last line of the sqlplus output.
With set -x, it appears anything after the last EOF is ignored. Why?
Thanks.
Ross
#!/bin/ksh
#set -x
sqlplus / <<EOF
select sysdate from dual;
exit
EOF | tail -1
