How to return a status from sqlplus to .ksh unix script ?

[Zvika Glickman]

I have a script a.ksh as follow:

[vashti]<orasp> cat a.ksh
sqlplus -s rsi/rsi < aaa1.sql
echo stat $?
[vashti]<orasp>

text of aaa1.sql:

exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats
('P0E1A00','MI_AC_CIRBE_GEN',cascade=>true,estimat e_percent=>25);

Problem: how can i transfer the status of the execution of
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats to the .ksh ????

Z, look up the SQLPlus command "whenever sqlerror exit FAILURE"

Many times all you need to pass back to the shell is success or
failure. For the exact problem you can look at the spool file.

In the case of a dmbs_stats I would generally not expect a failure
message.
