Question

I’m new to unix scripting and would appreciate some direction or help. I want to make a script that reads through a csv file containing Information similar to below.

Business Group  Used Disk Space (GB)    Disk Quota (GB)  Grace Period
EandT-Mech  35403.4                   37434.2              none
Rotatives-AD    6.40E-05                      524.288              none
Nacelles-Mech   0.056832                      1677.72              none

then I need to in that same script once it’ either read or reading change it into this format:

INSERT INTO Storage (b_group, used_space, disk_quota, grace_period)
VALUES (‘TSandD-Aero’,6.40E-05,734.003, ‘none’);
INSERT INTO Storage (b_group, used_space, disk_quota, grace_period)
VALUES (‘EDS-Admin’,192.076,3568.01, ‘none’);

so just change the values with the 4 information below to whatever has been read in on the csv file.

so to sum up, read csv file, put into sql formit and commit that into my database, any help or direction to get me going would be appreicated as I can’t find anything similar online.
