You might want to start learning about the concept of data
types and variables in programming languages (this includes
shells). Also, reading up on how to pipe things from stdout
of one program to stdin of another might help.
If you want to make one database pipe stuff into another
database directly you'd need to learn about the various
approaches summed up under "dblink". One implementation is
found in contrib/. Search the list archive for more on this.
