Learning Linux Shell Scripting - Second Edition

Update the data

If we want to update a single field or many fields of a row from a particular table, then we need to use the UPDATE command. It can modify single or multiple fields at a time.

Create oracle_06.sh to update the name of the specified ID:

#!/bin/bash 
 
sqlplus user1/Test123 <<MY_QUERY 
set serveroutput on; 
UPDATE Writers SET Name = 'demoname' WHERE Id = 101; 
select * from Writers; 
 
MY_QUERY 
 

Save the script and run it as follows:

   $ chmod +x oracle_06.sh 
   $ ./oracle_06.sh 

The output will be:
