hi,
i've writing a script shell in unix to automate a data conversion in oracle, it consist in many step:
- step1 : execute many files sql to delete temporany tables
- step 2: execute sqlldr to load data in tables
- step 3: execute many files sql to update, insert data in definitive tables
-step 4 : execute report to control a correction of steps
the script shell has a logic sequence to follow.

Personally I would recommend a 'teach yourself Perl' book, such as "Learning Perl" (better known as the Llama book). Then post any specific questions that may arise.

I hope that helps.

You should be able to get help. But what you have posted is the broad outline of a program, not the code you are having problems with. You need to post code, but not a whole script unlss it is very short, explain the problems you are having in detail, and then see if someone can help.

- Kevin, perl coder unexceptional!

Which is it, Windows or Linux? If it's linux you should be able to use your existing shell script.
