There are many ways to skin that cat, i.e. just using sqlplus and spooling to a file:
set pagesize 0 verify off feedback off linesize 500 trimspool on
spool filename.csv
select <col1> || ',' || <col2>[|| ','||<colN>] as csvout from <table>;
spool off
If there are date (or any of the timestamp) datatypes you'll want to be specific about the output format, i.e. use to_char( <col>, 'yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss')...
Also may want to have [var]char column values wrapped in single quotes, just add them in- i.e. ...''''||<col>||'''' it takes two single quotes inside a literal to get one in the output.
There will still be some stuff in the spool file needing cleanup, like the 'spool off' command and an echo of the SQL if you're running sqlplus interactively, don't think there's any way to turn off that echo. 'set echo off' doesn't do it as one would think.
