In PL-SQL archive data from a table to a file

I am currently developing a vb app where I need to archive data from a table to a file. I was hoping to do this with a stored procedure. I will also need to be able to retrieve the data from the file for future use if necessary. What file types are available? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

What about exporting in an oracle binary format? The export files cannot be modifiable. Is there a way to use the export and import utility in PL/SQL?

How to copy datas from a table to a file.

Hi,
Can Someone help me how to do this using queries or procedures.
I want to copy the datas from the table to a flat file (eg. text or excel).

CREATE TABLE emp
(FCST_DATE DATE,
LEVEL1 VARCHAR2(2000) ,
Sal NUMBER,
Insert into emp (FCST_DATE,LEVEL1,Sal) values ('01-MAR-11','175-12','1');
Insert into emp (FCST_DATE,LEVEL1,Sal) values ('01-JAN-11','319-10','100');
Insert into emp (FCST_DATE,LEVEL1,Sal) values ('01-AUG-11','175-1L','10');
select * from emp;
fcst_date Level1 Sal

Export data from a table to text file using srcipt task

Hi
i am new to SSIS
i have to export data from a table and append it into a existing file through SSIS script task
please help
Thanks
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
The data structure of the source table and the structure of the destination file are the same, right? Is the destination file a flat file? Do you have to do it through Script Task? If the destination file is a flat file, this can be done easily by using
the stock tasks/components other than .NET code. In the Data Flow Task, we choose the appropriate source adapter (such as OLE DB Source or ADO.NET Source) to extract data from the source table, perform transformation if necessary, and then load to the destination
file via a Flat File Destination. When setting up the Flat File Destination, uncheck the “Overwrite data in the file” option so that the extracted data will be appended to the existing file.
If you need to implement it through Script Task/Component indeed, you may benefit from the following code examples:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8070163/how-to-add-custom-footer-to-an-ssis-flat-file-seperate-component-or-script-tas
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8467326/add-header-and-footer-row-flat-file-ssis
If you need further help about the script, I suggest that you ask a new question in .NET forums where you can get more dedicated support:

Hi,
Here is a small sample program to convert data in an internal table into XML format and display it.
DATA: itab TYPE TABLE OF spfli,
      l_xml TYPE REF TO cl_xml_document.
* Read data into a ITAB
SELECT * FROM spfli INTO TABLE itab.
* Create the XML Object
CREATE OBJECT l_xml.
* Convert data in ITAB to XML
CALL METHOD l_xml->create_with_data( name = 'Test1'
                                     dataobject = t_goal[] ).
* Display XML Document
CALL METHOD l_xml->display.
Here are some other sample SAP programs to handle XML in ABAP:
BCCIIXMLT1, BCCIIXMLT2, and BCCIIXMLT3.
Hope this helps,

Hi
I have an oracle DB version 11.2 running on oracle enterprize linux 5.9. I would much appreciate an suggestions on how to transfer data from the oracle DB to a flat file on a windows server.
What i have done so far is to use utl_file to create a csv file on the oracle server and am now attempting to transfer this file. I was going to use scp or rcp but am unable to get this to work(was looking at filezilla). Another option i can use is ftp as i have a unix script which i can run to do this. All this is done through an oracle package which is run hourly through dbms_scheduler. I have been using sp_host_command to run unix commands directly from pl/sql so can use this to run a unix script for last resort if i cant find an easier way to automate this.
Any suggestions or options would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Gary

Well, using DBMS_SCHEDULER you can run o/s commands so you could use that to do your FTP or whatever to move the file.
Alternatively, you could write your own FTP package using the built in UTL_TCP package, or you can get hold of one of the freebie packages people have made available to do the same e.g.
ORACLE-BASE - FTP From PL/SQL in Oracle in Oracle

In PL-SQL archive data from a table to a file
