I am trying to run a sql ( that returns a count(*) )through a script in shell . And I want to pass the count(*) value of that sql to a variable in the shell script. How can I achieve it?

Thanks

Answer : Put Set head off in the script. Get the output of the sql query in a file and truncate all the spaces in the file , now the file will only have the count of records, which you can use it set in a variable
