I'm using sqlplus 3.2.3 and pl/sql 2.2.3 (the versions that came with rdbms 7.2.3) and I'm stuck.

I need to get a result from a select statement and return it to the unix shell script environment.

Getting the result into a bind variable is a relatively trivial excersice, but in this version of sqlplus, the quit command does not accecpt a bind variable argument, only a user variable arguement.

I can't figure it out. Anybody done this with this relatively old software?
