Using Shell Scripts for Database Operation

14
Hello ,
I am thinking of performing databse operation using shell scripts , for example i am in need to delete sum number from database very often so if i just run a shell scripts and give that number and if it gets deleted, it will be a quiter easy. thinking that i am trying to do shuch scripts, i am looking in the net and now can perform sum query thru scripts,
if any one has more idea regarding that, it will be a great help if any links or idea is given
thanks in advance,

You can connect to a database from a shell script and execute the queries.
Code changes depending on the type of DB
general code for conecting to oracle DB will be like this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. sqlplus -s <user>/<pass>@db << EOT
  2. select *
  3. ...
  4. EOT
