Re: Run command on sqlplus repetitively without reconnection

Dimitre,

This shell corprocess feature is very cool.  Something new for my script
toolbox.  Thanks for posting it.

I finally got around to playing with it on AIX 5.2 and found it works with
the Bourne and Korn as well as ksh93 (Enhanced Korn).  Below is a script I
based on your posting.  The trap I've used works, but gives the following
output after doing a CTL-C.

Error 45 initializing SQL*Plus
Internal error

The shell goes away as well as the Oracle session, but I am wondering if
there is a more graceful way I should be using to shutdown the coprocess
jobs.  I couldn't figure it out from googling, nor from the AIX
documentation.  It is not a big deal, but any insight you or someone else
may have would be welcomed.

Thanks

David Taft

With ksh93 (and pdksh, on Linux for example) you can use co-processes
