The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Writing sqlplus output to shell script variable

Asked by GeekMan in HP-UX Unix, Shell Scripting, Unix Systems Programming

Tags: HP-UX, Korn Shell script with sqlplus, N/A, writing sqlplus output to shell script variable

I want to execute a sql statement using sqlplus inside a KSH script. I want to execute a simple count(*) on a number of tables and send the results out to variables in my script. The following code worked with our old Alpha servers but doesn't now that we've switched to HP-UX's. Can someone tell me what I nee to change to get this script to work?
 
 As shown in the code snippet example, I want to send to number of rows in each table to the variables var1 and var2 where I can do comparisons and print out the values.
Thanks.
