well i don't know what the actual command is for, but i would assume the first part will issue that command until the end of file and then when it reaches it, it then issues startup, and then the next one says that you reached the end of the actual file...
but that is just an assumption as i don't know what it is that you actually posted...
well it says that bash should pipe in the text between the two EOF's until it recieves the EOF (end of file) string itself, it's just a simple way of inputting a load of commands automatically.
What I got understanding that the "startup" has to be executed in the sqlplus window so to pass this parameter this technique is used. Secondly we may say it a loop?
