CONNECTING DATABASE THROUGH SHELl


isql utility of Sybase can be 
efficiently used through shell 
scripts as follows:

---------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
cat /dev/null>/tmp/qry.sql
cat << SQL >> /tmp/qry.sql
select name from sysobjects where type = 'T'
SQL

isql -U <login> -P <pass> -S <server> -D <database> -i
/tmp/qry.sql
#remove the query file
rm /tmp/qry.sql
#end of script
------------------------------------------------------

Obviously you can use update/delete 
queries of any complicacy in the 
query.
