Sure! I don't have any examples in front of me, but the Oracle command line client is sqlplus. There are others, but I think sqlplus is the one that ships with Oracle. You should be able to script something that uses sqlplus to get what you need from the database and then manipulate it with bash.
Can you add 500 to my salary while you're at it?
Thx!
