How do you execute SQL from within a bash script?

I have some SQL scripts that I'm trying to automate. In the past I have used SQL*Plus, and called the sqlplus binary manually, from a bash script.

However, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to connect to the DB, and call the script from inside of the bash script... so that I can insert date and make the queries run relative to a certain number of days in the past.

I've used the jdbcsql project on Sourceforge.

On *nix systems, this will create a csv stream of results to standard out:

java -Djava.security.egd=file///dev/urandom -jar jdbcsql.jar -d oracledb_SID -h $host -p 1521 -U some_username -m oracle -P "$PW" -f excel -s "," "$1"

Note that adding the -Djava.security.egd=file///dev/urandom increases performance greatly

Windows commands are similar: see http://jdbcsql.sourceforge.net/

If you do not want to install sqlplus on your server/machine then the following command-line tool can be your friend. It is a simple Java application, only Java 8 that you need in order to you can execute this tool.

The tool can be used to run any SQL from the Linux bash or Windows command line.

Example:

java -jar sql-runner-0.2.0-with-dependencies.jar \
     -j jdbc:oracle:thin:@//oracle-db:1521/ORCLPDB1.localdomain \
     -U "SYS as SYSDBA" \
     -P Oradoc_db1 \
      "select 1 from dual"

Documentation is here.

You can download the binary file from here.
