Need sample DB2 script called by AIX script

[David]

Hi,
I am new to DB2. Does someone have a sample DB2 script they can post
here? All I want to do is execute a SQL query like this:
SELECT * FROM TABLE

Also, can someone post a sample AIX script that calls executes this
DB2 script ?

I am guessing that AIX script would looks like this:
"db2" < "C:\db2SQL.SCRIPT"
echo status: (RC=%errorlevel% )

I am guessing that AIX script would looks like this:
"db2" < "C:\db2SQL.SCRIPT"
echo status: (RC=%errorlevel% )

That looks very much Windows-like.

How about the following...

SQL script named "query.sql":
-------------------
SELECT *
FROM syscat.tables;
-------------------

AIX shell script (assuming ksh or bash or so):
-------------------
#!/bin/sh

db2 -t -f query.sql
if [ $? ]; then
echo "Script failed"
fi
-------------------
Or you do something like this:
-------------------
db2_out=`db2 -t -v -f query.sql`
echo $db2_out

Another option is to inline your SQL like so

#-------------------
#!/bin/sh
echo "
SELECT * FROM sometable
;" | db2 +p -vt
#-------------------

which has the benefit of allowing expansion of shell variables, e.g.:

#-------------------
#!/bin/sh
months="01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12"

for t in $months; do echo "
CREATE TABLE FACT_2004_$t
( I INT NOT NULL
, C CHAR(5)
)
;
" | db2 +p -vt ;done
