Spool SQl data into text file using dynamic sql

Hi,
I am spooling output data into text file using command
select 'select t.mxname,bo.lxtype,t.mxrev'||chr(10)||'from mx_1234567'||chr(10)||
'where <condition>';
here mxname varchar(128),lxtype(128),mxrev(128) all are of varchar type.I want the output in format
e.g Part|1211121313|A
but due to column width the output,I am getting is with spaces.
"Part then blank spaces |1211121313 then blank spaces |A"
how can I remove these spaces between columns.I used set space 0 but not working.
Thanks in advance.
Your help will be appreciated.

Hi Frank,
I have seen your reply for SET LINE SIZE function. But, I could not be able to understand it.
I am facing similar kind of issue in my present project.
I am trying spool more than 50 columns from a table into flat file. Because of more column lengths in few columns, i am getting space. There are so many columns with the same issue. I want to remove that space.so that, data can fit perfectly in one line in .txt file without any wrap text.

Deleting a column in a text file using LabVIEW

Hello all,
I'm trying to delete the first column of my tab delimited text file using LabVIEW and then save it under the same file name. Can someone show me a quick way to perform this operation. Is this even possible with LabVIEW? Any help would be much appreciated.
My purpose is to automate this operation for hundreds of daily text files containing data that needs processing. I'm currently using LabVIEW 8.2.
Thanks!
-noviceLabVIEWuser

If the file is relatively small:
Read the file using the Read from Spreadsheet File VI to get 2D array.
Remove the column from the 2D array.
Write out new 2D array to new file using Write to Spreadsheet File VI.
If the file is relatively large then you will likely run into memory issues. In this case you will need to read the file in chunks. You can decide how many lines to read at a time. Use a for-loop that's set to run for the number of chunks to read (based on the total number of lines and the number of lines you want to read at a time). Hint: Quotient & Remainder function. In the loop use the Read Text File VI to read your set number of lines. Convert the lines to a 2D array delete your column, and write out that chunk of data to the new file. Rinse and repeat.

SQL to match a single value in a field with comma-delimited text

I have a column that can contain none, one or many recordIDs
(from another table) stored as comma-delimited text strings (i.e.,
a list). I need to retrieve all records that match a single value
within that list.
For example, if I want to match all values that equal
recordID 3, and I use ... WHERE MyColumn IN ('3') ... , I will get
all records that have EXACTLY 3 as the value of MyColumn, but not
any MyColumn records whose values include 3, if they are instances
such as "3,17" or the like.
Also using the LIKE operator -- as WHERE MyColumn LIKE '%3%'
-- will get me unwanted records with values such as 35 or 13 ...
Can I use some sort of intervening ColdFusion list processing
to output only the desired records?

How to use Automator to batch convert xls/xlsx files into tab OR pipe delimited text file.

If you have answer, please provide specific and detailed steps.
Situation 1:
Start:
150+ files in .xls OR .xlsx format
data contains many characters EXCEPT "Tab"
Process:
Use Automator to:
Select Files from Finder window
Convert selected files from xls/xlsx to TAB-DELIMITED file format
End:
150+ files in .txt format
files have identical names to those from "Start:"
data is TAB-DELIMITED
Situation 2:
Start:
150+ files in .xls OR .xlsx format
data contains many characters EXCEPT | (pipe, vertical bar)
Process:
Use Automator to:
Select Files from Finder window
Convert selected files from xls/xlsx to |-delimited file format
End:
150+ files in .txt format
files have identical names to those from "Start:"
data is "|"-delimited

If your post is addressed to my response then the answer is you have to write your own or search on-line to see if something exists to do what you want.
As you note there is no pre-built script for this.

XML Column from table extract to Pipe Delimited Text File

Hi,
I have an XML column with large data in a Table ( Source SQL server Database).
I was asked to extract XML column to .txt file using SSIS.
Is it possible to extract xml column with huge data to text file ?
when I tried, select XML column from Table in source , I noticed that Property of column is taken as [DT_NTEXT] . I Converted it to DT_TEXT as Ansi donot support DT_NTEXT.
Execution method was success but it failed due to trucation. so wondering is there a way to get XML column extracted to Pipe delimited text file?
Is it advisable to do this ? or IS It Valid to export XML in Pipe Delimited File ?
Please Kindly advice
thanks
kodi

Are you looking at shredding data within XML nodes and then importing it to text file or are you looking at exporting XML value as is? Also is SSIS a necessity?
If not, You can simply use T-SQL for this along with bcp for this. just use a query like
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT CAST(XMLColumn AS varchar(max)) AS Column FROM table" queryout <full file path> -c -S <ServerName> -T -t |'
provided you use trusted connection (windows authentication)
see
http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2013/10/bcp-out-custom-format-data-to-flat-file.html
If you want to shred the data use Xpath functions in the query as below

Search in txt file using PL/SQL

Is there any way to search for a string in a text file using a PL/SQL block??
Thnks in advance.
Ashish

Richard:
It would depend on the nature of the text file, but it could be done for most plain text files. If there is some consistent delimiter, that is, the text file is fielded in some way, you could define an external table with the appropriate structure then use normal SQL queries against the particular fields from the file.
If the file is just plain text with no fields, you could create an external table something like:
CREATE TABLE myexternal (
line VARCHAR2(4000),
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY mydirectory
ACCESS PARAMETERS
(RECORDS DELIMITED BY newline
BADFILE 'textfile.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'textfile.dis'
LOGFILE 'textfile.log'
(line CHAR(4000) NULLIF line = blanks))
LOCATION ('textfile.txt'))
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITEDThen use normal sql to search the contents of that file.
I have not done any benchmarks on this, but my gut feel is that it would be significantly faster than using utl_file to loop over the lines looking for specific content.
In one of our warehouse load programs, we process a text file that is typically about 7Mb in under 30 seconds.

How to get tab delimited text file when Stored Procedure executes ?

Hello Everyone,
I have a stored procedure which returns 1 result set as an output.
I want the output as a Tab Delimited Text file.
I know that I can use SSIS and get the same output but I am not allowed to use SSIS in this case.
Is there any other ways ?
I will be really appreciate If someone can answer with, How many different ways I can get Tab delimited text file ?
Thanks in advance
Henary

you can do that by using SQLCMD
http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2013/03/05/sql-server-exporting-query-results-to-csv-using-sqlcmd/
you can also use BCP
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select * from tempdb.dbo.orders" queryout "c:\output.txt" -c -T'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "exec usertest.dbo.proctest" queryout "c:\output.txt" -c -T'
