"Unix" is not executingthat SQL query, the sqlplus executable is.

Most commands return a non-zero exit code if an error condition occurred. Try checking the $? variable immediately after running sqlplus.

You left out a bit of detail. You can check the $? variable by running this in a terminal as root.

Please, ignore the post above. It will be deleted soon.

You may have problems with your statement depending on if sqlplus will auto commit your transaction when you exit. I think the default behavior is to rollback any changes. You would likely have to add a commit; after your insert statement.

I'd be best to capture an error condition in your script and set the exit code when your script terminates. Search around for sqlplus exit code.
