SHELL SCRIPTING A SQLPLUS SCRIPT 
 Here is a tip on how to run sqlplus scripts within a shell script.
 It is an example of how to pass database values into shell variables
 and to make shell scripts more dynamic. This maybe elementary to some
 folks but hope it helps others.....Here is the syntax:
 
 #!/bin/sh
 dummyvar=`sqlplus -s username/password  <
set pagesize 0 feedback off ver off heading off echo off
 select  sysdate from dual;
 exit;
 end`
 echo "system date is " $dummyvar
 #end of shell script
 
 This will retrieve the system date from Oracle but you get the idea
 that you can expand the select script to get whatever you want from
 the database and place it in a shell variable where you can make
 decisions on it.
