i recently found out about this trick in sql and had an opportunity to try it out. I was faced with having to query a db value for a key and there were about 500 rows that were going to be returned. Then with the results I needed to run a general purpose bash script one value at a time at a time...

so I put my sql to work and came up with something like this

select 'runmyscript.sh -k ' || mycolumnvalue || ' -update' from mytable where to_char(createdate,'YYYYMMDD') = '20050831'

(I'm working with oracle)

to make a long story short that one line of sql generated my whole script except for the first line:
#!/bin/bash
and the last line:
echo "All done processing "
