 You can't. Database rows are not stored as complete lines of text in an oracle datafile. There stored in an internal format. You'll need to use sqlplus or some other sql tool to extract the data.

example:

sqlplus -s <<!
user/password
set linesize 200 pagesize 0 feedback off tab off trimspool on select * from mytable where col1 = 'SANJEEV'; !

Hi all,

May be it's very easy question but as a system admin asked me - " With an example - create a table, make some entry, commit it and now exit to Unix shell. Now where can you "grep" (or something else) the values I enter in the table without using SQL prompt ?" Say, I entered 'Sanjeev' in the table, #grep Sanjeev *.dbf (might be this file) didn't work out.

Thanks,
Sk
