I have a bash script that connects to an oracle 10g database. In a first step it takes some variables from a "config" file with the following command . /path/to/my/configfile.ini In the config file there are some variables: export USRID=myUser export USRID_PASS=myPassword export USR_PASS="$USRID/$USRID_PASS@myDatabase" Then it actually connects through sqlplus using the command: sqlplus -s $usr_pass Terrible Security and Design issues aside (this script has been around for 5 years).

SELECT dealing_record.* ,shares.* ,transaction_type.* FROM shares INNER JOIN shares ON shares.share_ID = dealing_record.share_id INNER JOIN transaction_type ON transaction_type.transaction_type_id = dealing_record.transaction_type_id; The above SQL code produces the desired output but with a couple of duplicate columns. Also, with incomplete display of the column headers. When I change the linesize 100 the headers shows but data displayed overlaps I have checked through similar questions but I don't seem to get how to solve this. You have duplicate columns, because, you're asking to the SQL

Using SqlPlus for Oracle, how do I save the output of a query in a file but not show it on the terminal/prompt. a_horse_with_no_name Right from the SQL*Plus manual http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ch8.htm#sthref1597 SET TERMOUT SET TERMOUT OFF suppresses the display so that you can spool output from a script without seeing it on the screen.

SET TERMOUT is not supported in iSQL*Plus Mohammad Try this: SET TERMOUT OFF; spool M:\Documents

I have a KornShell (ksh) script that logins into SQL*Plus and executing a script. Within the shell script I would like to capture the status code of the SQL statement that was executed.
