Oracle connection test

[pkonduru]

Hi all,

I tried searching around but could not find a solution to test an oracle connection in the forums. This is what I tried doing so far:
--On the command line this works:
"sqlplus user\pwd@SID"

I am trying to run this using nsExec(all the three parameters are variables)
nsExec::Exec "sqlplus $user/$pwd@$SID"
Pop $0
Pop $1
$0 has "1"
$1 has some random number like "13390"

Is there anyway from the output I can tell connection has been successful ? I tried writing to a log file and that works

nsExec::Exec "cmd /C sqlplus $user/$pwd@$SID > C:\sqltest.log"

Any other way to test this without having to write to a log file?
