Hi all,

I have a plsql procedure which is to be called by a shell script.

In my shell script I am trying to connect to the oracle database

Quote:

$ sqlplus -s apps/apps@GAMDEV << EOF

but I am getting an error

Quote:

'<<' unmatched

Am i writing the correct syntax to connect to the database?

Please help!!

Thanks in advance

>>Should I initialize with something else?
You tell me. It is your program. Smile

Atleast, you should export ORACLE_HOME, PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin etc.
