Обсуждение: [GENERAL] multiple sql results to shell
I have this bash/sql script which outputs some curl commands. the backticks causes it to get interpreted by the shell. This works fine if there is one result, but when there are many rows returned, it looks like one shell command.
any help on getting multiple rows returned to be executed by the shell would be appreciated!
thanks!

You will need to, instead, "SELECT source_id, model, site FROM ..." to return the raw record data to bash and then use bash's loop facilities to dynamically generate and execute the curl command.
A second option, that I've never tried, is returning the full string but not within a backtick command, then using bash looping simply invoke the string like a normal command.

I tend to do
psql ..... | while read a; do
# some code
done
The only problem I find with this is that you can't pass variables out
of the while loop, because the pipe runs as a subshell. You could of
course use echo and encapsulate the whole thing, eg this would take
your results and (assuming they're integers) return the largest -
obviously your own code could decide differently how to output things.
You also have to move the read to later on, so you can send your
output to the parent.
myres=$( a=0 biga=0 psql -tqAX -h ${DB_HOST} -d ${DB_NAME} -u ${DB_USER} -c "select
'curl -X POST http://${REGISTER_HOST}:8080/' || source_id || '/${MT}/'
|| model || '/' || site || '/backoffice/register' from
myschema.events where source_id = $SOURCE_ID and ineffective_date is
null" | while true; do if [ $a -gt $biga ] ; then biga=$a fi if ! read a; then echo $biga; break; fi done
)
A mess, but it works.
To be honest, by the time you've got to this level of complexity you
probably shouldn't be using shellscript any more.

To get input from a file w/o a sub-shell,
you can put the input at the end of the loop:
====
#!/bin/sh
cat > file <<EOF
ab
cd
ef
EOF
while read a; do
b="$b $a"
echo $b
done < file
