CSV output of a sql query

Hello All,
I have a table named as 'product' having two columns prod_name and prod_status.
Table Name: product
prod_name prod_status
bag A
Pen A
Pencil B
Eraser C
Paper A
Now if I will write a query
select prod_name from product where prod_status='A';
Then it will return me output as:
prod_name
bag
Pen
Paper
But I want output as:
prod_name
bag,Pen,Paper
I have checked solution for this problem on many thread but havent found any good solution. I want it for 10G.
Thanks in advance

It looks quite amazing that you did not found any solution for this porbs on forum. Anyways try the below query, it works in 10g.
To write in CSV file, spool a CSV file and copy the contents....
with c as
(select 'bag' str from dual union all
select 'pen' str from dual union all
select 'paper' str from dual )
select rtrim(xmlagg(xmlelement(e,str||',').extract('//text()')),',') op
from c
SQL> /
OP
bag,pen,paper

How to Suppress The Output of a SQL Query In Oracle 11gR2

Hi Friends,
I am using oracle version 11.2.0.1, I have set a cronjob which will run on every 15 minutes and give us a log file mentioning the execution time taken for that SQL query:-
For example:
SQL> set timing on;
SQL> SELECT objProp FROM aradmin.arschema WHERE (schemaId = 175);
OBJPROP+
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
*6\60006\4\0\\60008\40\0\60009\4\0\\60010\4\0\\60018\4\0\\600*
*22\4\68\1\63\AR:jRL#*
Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
The above query will return the output as well as the time taken for execution of the query. I want to suppress the output of the query and only want the time taken to be printed. Is it possible by set commands. I have marked the output as bold and made it Italic.
Please help me at the earliest.
Regards,
Arijit

How would that even be useful?
A query from a tool such as sql*plus is STILL going to send the output to the client and the client. You can keep sql*plus from actually displaying the data by setting autotrace to trace only.
But that TIME TAKEN is still going to include the network time it takes to send ALL rows that the query returns across the network.
That time is NOT the same as the actual execution time of the query. So unless you are trying to determine how long it takes to send the data over the network your 'timing' method is rather flawed.
Why don't you tell us WHAT PROBLEM you are trying to solve so we can help you solve it?

How to write the output of an SQL query to a text file?

I am using Oracle 11g and SQL plus.
I have a large table called rating.
Whenever I do
SQL> select * from rating;
The output goes much beyond what the SQL Plus screen can show. I want to therefore store the output of this query into a text file.
How can this be done? Please help. Thanks.

SQL> SPOOL results.txt

Unexpected line breaks in output of a sql query

Hi,
I have a query which looks like:
set pages 0
set feed off
set newp 0
set lines 350
select LPAD(SUBSTR(COLUMN1,1,23),23),LPAD(SUBSTR(COLUMN2,1,42),42), SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(START_TIME,'HH24:MI:SS'),1,8),SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(END_TIME,'HH24:MI:SS'),1,8)
FROM TABLE1;
When executed using SQL*Plus this query puts a line break after each column and hence I get a record on several rows on the screen.
But the last two columns are printed on the same line. I suspect the LPAD is causing some problem.
I have two databases. It works perfectly on one and not on the other.
Is there a oracle parameter due to which the result is affected?
T&R,
BRK

Try this:
set pages 0 feed off newp 0 lines 350 trims on
select LPAD(SUBSTR(COLUMN1,1,23),23)
     , LPAD(SUBSTR(COLUMN2,1,42),42)
     , TO_CHAR(START_TIME,'HH24:MI:SS')
     , TO_CHAR(END_TIME,'HH24:MI:SS')
FROM TABLE1;

Can we generate the output of SQL Query in XML format ..

Hi Team,
Can we generate an XML doc for an SQL Query.
I've seen in SQL Server 2000.It is generating the output of an SQL Query in xml format.
select * from emp for xml auto
The output looks like
<emp EMPNO="7369" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="20"/><emp EMPNO="7370" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="10"/>

Just a little bit of short hand.
Get the XML out of your database, via HTTP
Of course the easiest method is just to return an XMLType from a stored procedure and let the calling routine figure out what to do with it. Instead
of that way though, I'll show you how to do it via HTTP. It's all completely built into 10g and is super easy to use.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emps_and_depts AS
SELECT e.employee_id AS "EmployeeId",
e.last_name AS "Name",
e.job_id AS "Job",
e.manager_id AS "Manager",
e.hire_date AS "HireDate",
e.salary AS "Salary",
e.commission_pct AS "Commission",
XMLFOREST (
d.department_id AS "DeptNo",
d.department_name AS "DeptName",
d.location_id AS "Location"
) AS "Dept"
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id
Some people hear web and immediately start salivating about security issues. Let me address that quickly. Just because you have the HTTP and/or
FTP servers running in the database, that does not mean you have a security problem. For one, I would hope your databases are behind a firewall.
Second, with the correct architecture (DMZ, app servers, etc) you can make this data available outside the firewall fairly transparently and third,
just because it's on the web does not mean the data MUST be available on the internet. This is a good way to make your data available on your
intranet. If you are worried about people INSIDE your firewall, that still doesn't preclude web based access. Follow Oracle security guidelines.
Before I show you how to get to your data, let's talk about URLs and URIs. A URL is a Uniform Resource Locater and URI is a Uniform Resource
Identifier. A URL is the way you would identify a document on the net, i.e. http://www.oracle.com is a URL. A URI is a more generic form of a URL.
Oracle supports three types of URI: HTTPURIType - basically a URL (which would be like the URL above), XDURIType - a pointer to an XDB resource
(usually an XML document but can be other objects), and DBURIType - a pointer to database objects.
It's the DBURIType that we're going to concentrate on here. The DBURIType let's us reference database objects using a file/folder paradigm. The
format for a DBURI is /oradb/<schema>/<table>. Oradb is shorthand for the database; it is not the database name or SID. My database is named XE
but I still use oradb in the DBURI. For example, the view we created above is in my XE database, is owned by HR (at least in my case) and is called
EMPS_AND_DEPTS. This can be referenced as /oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS.
If the view had many rows and you wanted only one of them, you can restrict it by including a predicate. The documentation for XDB has a great
write up on Using DBURIs.In our case, we are going to write out the entire document. Now that you understand that the DBURI is a pointer to
objects in our instance, we can use that to access the data as a URL.
The format for the URL call is http://<machinename>:<port>/<DBURI>
In my case, my XE database is running on a machine called mach1 and is listening on port 8080. So to see the view we created above, I open my
browser and navigate to: http//mach1:8080/oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
The created URL will be as http//mach1:8080/oradb/PUBLIC/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
If your database is set up correctly and listening on port 8080 (the default), your browser should ask you to login. Login as the user who created the
view (in my case HR). You should now get an XML document displayed in your browser.
And that's it. It doesn't get much simpler than that. If you get rid of the descriptive text above, it basically comes down to:
Create a table or view
Open your web browser
Enter a URL
Enter a user ID and password
View your XML
If you notice, Oracle formatted the data as XML for us. Our view returns scalar columns and an XML fragment called Dept. Oracle formatted the
return results into an XML format.
And as a side note, if you look closely, you'll see that my URL has PUBLIC where I said to put HR. PUBLIC is a synonym for all objects that your
logged in user can see. That way, if your user has been granted select access on many schemas, you can use PUBLIC and see any of them.

This makes it easy to demonstrate problems to others who might be able to help.
Sometimes it will be necessary for you to create developer accounts in your workspace in order for others to use your Application Builder. You can post usernames/passwords here or you can convey those privately to those offering their services. In either case, you'd want to remove or disable those accounts as soon as the problem is resolved. For problems that I ask to see demonstrated on apex.oracle.com, it is not necessary for you to create an account for me. I can do that as our group runs the site. I just need to know your workspace name and application ID.

Need sql query to convert rows to columns

Im using oracle 11g.
I have data in a table as below: Column names are type,month,percentage
TYPE      MONTH   PERCENTAGE
A1         JAN-2013     100
A2         JAN-2013     100
A3         JAN-2013     95
A4         JAN-2013     98
A5         JAN-2013     99
A6         JAN-2013     90
A7         JAN-2013     92
A1         FEB-2013     100
A2         FEB-2013     99
A3         FEB-2013     88

select * from table_name
PIVOT(   max(Percentage)
                 for MONTH

Classic Report CSV output failed to parse SQL query

Hi,
I'm trying to get a CSV output from a classic report. I'm generating the report based on a PL/SQL block that will return an SQL query. But when i download the CSV excel just gives me a:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00936: Missing expression
and shows me the query that the application is trying to parse. I'm also using bind variables (page items) in the PL/SQL block that is returning me the SQL query. I think that the reason that it fails to parse the query is that the query that is shown in excel has no bind variable values.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Arif,
run your page in debug mode and check out the SQL statement which is actually executed for the report. That might help to diagnose what is going wrong.
If you wish you can also post the report SQL statement which is getting executed.

How do i get a output in CSV of a SQL query executed via SQL Command prompt

Hi All,
I have a question with reference to SQL command prompt. I have a sql query which runs properly and gives proper execution in SQL Management console in GUI.
This report is used to pull the free disk space report of our servers
As i want to schedule it as a report so i want to script it to run via SQL command prompt. I made the script and it works fine if i enter it in SQL command prompt. When i try to extract the output to a CSV File it fails. Below is the details of the command
i am using to query to pull the data. Can anyone help me in getting the output of this query in SQL command prompt.
sqlcmd -W -s , -S Servers FQDN
use operationsmanager
Go
Query:"select Path, InstanceName, SampleValue
from PerformanceDataAllView pdv with (NOLOCK)
inner join PerformanceCounterView pcv on pdv.performancesourceinternalid = pcv.performancesourceinternalid
inner join BaseManagedEntity bme on pcv.ManagedEntityId = bme.BaseManagedEntityId
where SampleValue < '20' and CounterName='% Free Space' and TimeSampled > '2014-08-06 11:00:00.00'
order by countername, timesampled" -s "," -o "C:\DataSqlCmd.csv"
Go
When i enter the command without the quotes when the query is starting and ending and also without the output command (-s "," -o "C:\DataSqlCmd.csv") it is working and shows the output in the command prompt. Below is the screen shot for
your reference.
Due to security reasons i have to erase the server names:
But when i add the line to extract the output ( -s "," -o "C:\DataSqlCmd.csv") It gives me this error:
The exact command would be:
sqlcmd -W -s , -S CINMLVSCOM01.e2klab.ge.com
use operationsmanager
Go
"select Path, InstanceName, SampleValue
from PerformanceDataAllView pdv with (NOLOCK)
inner join PerformanceCounterView pcv on pdv.performancesourceinternalid = pcv.performancesourceinternalid
inner join BaseManagedEntity bme on pcv.ManagedEntityId = bme.BaseManagedEntityId
where SampleValue < '20' and CounterName='% Free Space' and TimeSampled > '2014-08-06 11:00:00.00'
order by countername, timesampled" -s "," -o "C:\DataSqlCmd.csv" -h-1
Go
saying the syntax is not correct or some thing as per the below screenshot.
Can any one please help. Below is just the query whi i use to get the output in SQL management studio.
Can any one make a command for the below quer so i can directly execute and test for getting the output.
select Path, InstanceName, SampleValue
from PerformanceDataAllView pdv with (NOLOCK)
inner join PerformanceCounterView pcv on pdv.performancesourceinternalid = pcv.performancesourceinternalid
inner join BaseManagedEntity bme on pcv.ManagedEntityId = bme.BaseManagedEntityId
where SampleValue < '20' and CounterName='% Free Space' and TimeSampled > '2014-08-06 11:00:00.00'
order by countername, timesampled
Gautam.75801

Can you try the below query?
select Path, InstanceName, SampleValue
from PerformanceDataAllView pdv with (NOLOCK)
inner join PerformanceCounterView pcv on pdv.performancesourceinternalid = pcv.performancesourceinternalid
inner join BaseManagedEntity bme on pcv.ManagedEntityId = bme.BaseManagedEntityId
where SampleValue < 20 and CounterName like '% Free Space' and TimeSampled > '2014-08-06 11:00:00.00'
order by countername, timesampled
-- replace the below query part in the below SQLCMD C:\>SQLCMD -S SERVERNAME -E -d operationsmanager -Q "select * from sys.databases ds with (nolock) where name='master'" -s "," -o "F:\PowerSQL\MyData.csv" -h -1
SQLCMD -S SERVERNAME -E -d OperationsManager -Q "select Path, InstanceName, SampleValue
from PerformanceDataAllView pdv with (NOLOCK)
inner join PerformanceCounterView pcv on pdv.performancesourceinternalid = pcv.performancesourceinternalid
inner join BaseManagedEntity bme on pcv.ManagedEntityId = bme.BaseManagedEntityId
where SampleValue < '20' and CounterName='% Free Space' and TimeSampled > '2014-08-06 11:00:00.00'
order by countername, timesampled" -s "," -o "c:\MyData.csv" -h -1

SQL query Output exceeds 65000 rows in excel

Hi,
I have a SQL file attached to my concurrent program. The query in the SQL file returns tab separated output that i need to email as a csv through the same SQL file.
The issue I am facing is that the query returns about 157000 records but only 65536 are being displayed in the excel worksheet.
How can I get all the records by accommodating them in multiple worksheets of the same excel file?
Please help!
I am using EBS 11i.
Code I am using in SQL file:
set pages 3000
set lines 300
set heading off
set term off
set feedback off
set verify off
set echo off
set serverout off
spool /tmp/TEST.csv
select 'Header'
from dual
SELECT column1||CHR(9)||column2
FROM staging_table
spool off
set lines 1000 pages 40 head off echo off veri off
select 'cd /tmp; cat $XX_TOP/install/sql/disclaimer.txt > x.dat; cat '||'/tmp/TEST.csv'||' | uuencode '||'/tmp/TEST.csv'
||' > '||substr('/tmp/TEST.csv',1,length('/tmp/TEST.csv')-4)||'.dat >> x.dat'
||' ; mail -s ''' ||'&1'||''' '||'&2'||' < x.dat'
||' ; rm '||substr('/tmp/TEST.csv',1,length('/tmp/TEST.csv')-4)||'.dat'||' ;'
from dual
list
spool /tmp/email.txt
spool off

Thanks

open a blank Excel (2007 version), go to Data tab, then from External Data click From Text, select the CSV file (That having more than 65k records), click import, then from "start import at row" select 65001 and click next button, select delimiter as Comma, click Next button and filaly finish.
In this way you will have the data after 65k rows in excel. Now you can simply open that cvs file in excel then you will have first 65k records (remening part will be discarded).
So now you have two excel files and you can paste it in two diff tab.
Note - you can repeate this activity if you have more than 130000 records...

Saving the output of a .sql file in .csv format

Hi,
I am saving the output of a .sql file in .csv format. But the problem is , the record of few columns have "new line" character in it, so when it is getting saved in .csv format, those records are coming in multiple rows, but they should come in one single row in single block. Please advise how to overcome this problem.
Regards,
Niraj

Hi Guys,
I guess, there is a misunderstanding.
He is talking about the issue caused as a result of the data containing a "CRLF" ( Carriage return Line feed ) .
That is mainly a data issue.
The query i presume, must be right.
I guess you should be able to fix it using some string functions.
Some thing similar to this
CREATE TABLE ASH (NAME VARCHAR2(10))
SELECT REPLACE(NAME, CHR(13)||CHR(10), 'ISH') FROM ASH;
SELECT REPLACE(NAME, CHR(10), 'ISH') FROM ASH;
SELECT REPLACE(NAME, CHR(13), 'ISH') FROM ASH;
depending on the type of new line whether it is CR or LF. or CRLF.

SQL Query results to CSV as two worksheets

I'm trying to take two SQL queries and get the results sent to a CSV file on two worksheets. Looking online I have not found a solid example of using the Excel ComObject to create a CSV then add a new worksheet to the CSV file. An added bonus
would be using AutoFit on the columns so everything is easily visible.
Code found online got me the following script which does work, however it takes 12 minutes to pipe the SQL queries to Excel. Switching to a CSV and the script executes in 5 seconds.
This is another nice to have, I was also looking the best way to look at the results (only 1 column) and depending on the length of the data, insert what Excel would call a Cell thereby shifting cells RIGHT but so far have found no clear examples of how
to accomplish that. My guess would be modifying my SQL queries but I've posted a question on StackOverFlow and someone suggested modifying the PowerShell Table created from the SQL dataset.Tables

Here's what I ended up with that accomplishes my goal. I learned it's not possible to create a CSV with two worksheets since Excel will allow this but the CSV cannot be saved with the second worksheet. Instead, I create two CSV files then merge
them into one Excel workbook, one CSV per worksheet. In my case, this happens in 5 seconds. There is one thing which must be mentioned, I've seen this script fail the first time it is run but will successfully run the second time.
Also note, after much trial and error, this code correctly cleans up the Excel ComObject!! -Thanks go to JRV.

How to get sql query data and write into csv file?

I am writing to seek help, in how can I create bat. script which can execute the following logic:
connection to the database
run sql query
create CSV file
output query data, into CSV file
save the CSV file
osql
-S 84.18.111.111
-U adw
-P rem
-i "c:\query.sql"
send ""
sed -e 's/,\s\+/,/g' MCI_04Dec2014.csv > localNoSpaces.csv
-o "c:\MCI_04Dec2014.csv"
This what i have so far, and I am little struggling with the logic after creating CSV file. I am unable to get the above script to work, please advice further, where I may be going wrong.
Can you create if statement logic within window's script, to check for null parameters or data feeds?
Any hints would be most appreciated.

Thank you for your reply.
Apology for posting the code irrelevant to the forum, as I am still novice scripting user.
My goal is to create window's script which can compute the above logic and send the final output file (csv), to FTP folder.
Can this logic be implemented via bat. script, if so, is there a example or tutorial i could follow, in order to achieve my task.
Any help would be much appreciated.
