SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All Rights Reserved.

Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V

-H Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
usage help.
-V Displays the SQL*Plus version.

Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]

<option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]

-C <version> Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
version specified by <version>. The version has
the form "x.y[.z]". For example, -C 10.2.0
-L Attempts to log on just once, instead of
reprompting on error.
-M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output. The options
have the form:
HTML [ON|OFF] [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text]
[ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] {ON|OFF}]
-R <level> Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands
that interact with the file system. The level can
be 1, 2 or 3. The most restrictive is -R 3 which
disables all user commands interacting with the
file system.
-S Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of
the SQL*Plus banner, prompts, and echoing of
commands.

<logon> is: (<username>[/<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | /)
[AS SYSDBA
....

i've seen
but i've a question
i've make this
echo "select * from dual;" | sqlplus -s user/pass@database

it's run but the return code is always 0;
if the pass are good or not , he always return 0

why ??

 

[KenCunningham]

The echo succeeds, that's why you get a return code of 0. Why aren't you using print instead?

I don't mind people who aren't what they seem. I just wish they'd make their mind up.

 

[donny750]

because when i use print i've this

-bash: print: command not found

Hi,

Another way using "here file"

sqlplus username/password@instance <<-!EOSQL
         WHENEVER SQLERROR  exit 5
         select dummy from dual;
         exit 0
!EOSQL

print is a ksh built-in only.

This should do the trick:

[tt]sqlplus -s user/pass@database << HERE
select * from dual;
HERE[/tt]
