Exporting Query Result to OpenOffice

Hello,
We would like to export Query Result from Web Application to a file which could be opened in OpenOffice.
Exporting data in XLS format doesn't work because XLS file is created with MS VML Markup with couln't be read by OpenOffice.
Does someone already deals with this kind of issue ?
How do you overcome this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your answer
Laurent

Hi Laurent,
Can you try saving the file in .csv.
ad try opening it in openoffice.
Hope this helps

How to export query results

How can I export query results from sqlplus on the command line? Are there ways to specify the format such as CSV, TAB, XML, etc?
I've seen one approach that involves creating a shell script and piping the output to a file:
#!/bin/sh
sqlplus user/password <<__EOF__
set heading off;
set newpage none;
select f1, ',', f2, ',', f3 from some_table;
__EOF__
Then pipe the output to a file. Is there a simpler solution to this?

Export query results to flat file with dynamic filename

Hi
Can anybody can point me how to dynamic export query serults set to for example txt file using process flows in OWB.
Let say I have simple select query
select * from table1 where daterange >= sysdate -1 and daterange < sysdate
so query results will be different every day because daterange will be different. Also I would like to name txt file dynamicly as well
eg. results_20090601.txt, results_20090602.txt, results_20090603.txt
I cant see any activity in process editor to enter custom sql statment, like it is in MSSQL 2000 or 2005
thanks in advance

You can call existing procedures from a process flow the procedure can create the filename with whatever name you desire. OWB maps with file as target can also create a file with a dynamic name defined by an expression (see here ).

Export query result to csv using Export Wizard

Been a decade since I last used Oracle and related tools.
I had to use Oracle server again, I have a query over multiple tables, I am to run a scheduled script that will spit out the query result as a csv file.
I started with SQL Developer Export wizard, in step "Specify Data", I am at a loss, where to specify the query itself? I see a Name,Schema,Type input, a text area below, Up,UpAll,Down,DownAll buttons etc etc. Where do I specify my query here? Can someone please help?
Is this the best way to go about to schedule a data export (query to csv) daily?

To export a user query rather than a whole table, run it in a worksheet and export using the context menu on the result grid. However none can be scheduled.
Instead you can look at the SPOOL command and schedule it through SQL*Plus. Any questions can go to the iSQL*Plus and/or SQL And PL/SQL forum.
Have fun,
K.

Export query result to txt file

Hello,
I'm trying to export a query result to txt file but I facing some problems.
I'm using the comand below:
set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
set colsep ,
spool C:\estados.txt
select id_estado,cod_estado,nme_estado from tb_estado;
spool off
First problem: My select statement is being writen on my estados.txt
Second problem: The results are being writen with a lot of blank spaces in start of line, for example, instead of write "1,AC,Acre" the line is write as " 1,AC,Acre".
Third problem: The "spool off" statement is being written on my estados.txt
How could I solve it?
Thanks

1. Works here - what version of SQL*PLUS are you using?
2. If you want to prevent spaces, you have to write your SELECT like this:
select id_estado || ',' || cod_estado || ',' || nme_estado from tb_estado;Note: not tested.
3. See 1.

2.1.0.62: Exporting query results does not work if SQL has a join

I get an error message, when I try to export the following test case to any data format.
create table test1 (id number(2), text varchar2(5));
create table test2 (id number(2), text varchar2(5));
insert into test1 values (1,'test');
insert into test2 values (1,'test');
select t1.*
from
test1 t1,
test2 t2
where
t1.id=t2.id;
I try to translate my german error message to english:
"There are no valid columns for export available. Clob- or Blob-Columns are currently not supported"
I get this message, when I right click into the query result grid and select export and then any data format.
Hope that is not a double post but searching for export did not find results for 2.1.
The following SQL also produces the error:
select t1.* from test1 t1;
These SQLs can be exported though:
select * from test1 t1;
select t1.id from test1 t1;
I should have mentioned that I work with Windows XP and Oracle 10.2.0.4.

Hi,
Dhalek.
I've got the same problem here.
In my SQL Dev, I disabled the Autopopup code completion insight in SQL Worksheet. (Tools - Preferences - Code Editor - Code Completion - untick the checkbox). Restart SQL Dev. Tried to export a query.
The same error message appears.
My workaround is to re-enable the autopopup and restart SQL Dev.
The disabled autopopup code completion insight caused me these
2.1 EA1: Bugs - cannot Export Data from Grid
2.1 EA2: Bugs on code completion for displaying column name
Hope this helps,

Http 404 error exporting query result into Excel.

Hello. I'm getting an Http 404 The webpage cannot be found" error when trying to export any APEX application's query results into Excel (Application Express 3.2.1.00.10).

Problems exporting query results to Excel

Hi!
I hope you can help me
We have a web template that uses the class ZVIG_ART that we created in the transaction SE24, this class display some label in the query
results, the problem is when we export this report to excel the label disappear. The numbers indicates the stock of the item and the label N/V indicates that the item is not in the store's catalog. Another case is that we can have N/V items but with stock, for example the ITEM2 of the STORE3 with the label N/V-1piece. How can we export this label to EXCEL?
           | STORE1     |    STORE2   | STORE3
ITEM1      | 10 PIECES |    N/V      | 20 PIECES
ITEM2      | 11         |    20       | N/V-1PIECE
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Mari,
Thanks for the reply.
I can understand the resason for not being able to change the Posting Date. But what are the reasons for not being able to change the Document Date? What is the fiscal reason for not being able to change the Document Date? Please provide an example. Reversing the document doesn't work in this case as the SQ01 report would still include the incorrect date.

Export query results into .csv file?

Hello I have a T-SQL script that gets row counts for a specified date range and then needs to loop (by incrementing +1 day to get the next day's counts) for a large date range. I'm aiming to output & append each query results day counts
into a .csv file via a SQL Agent job since this will take quite a while to complete.
Would using the following as an example template...
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','Text;Database=D:\;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited','SELECT * FROM [FileName.csv]')
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM DatabaseName
...be the method or something else?
If this is good to use I've tried running this but get the following error:
Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 76
Cannot process the object "SELECT * FROM [FileName.csv]". The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions
on that object.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Techresearch7777777,
The error in your post says that the file FileName.csv has to be created with the column names in the first row. Like:
Field1,Field2,Field3
Either you can create a schema.ini file under the same folder:
[FileName.csv]
Format=CSVDelimited
ColNameHeader=False
Col1=Field1 [DataType]
Col2=Field2 [DataType]
Col3=Field3 [DataType]
For the [DataType],you can reference
Schema.ini File (Text File Driver)
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Exporting query result set into CSV file using Forms

Hi ,
My requirement is
-> I need to create a form where I have a Multi line text box and two button.
-> When I enter a query in text box and click on Execute button, It should execute a select query.
-> After execution, Result set needs to be exported into an Excel file.
Please give a hint how to do this????
Thanks,
maddy

as you are using text item to write SQL query by the user
so for that you need to use the exec_sql package to parse the text items query and get definitions and values of the columns being
resulted in the result set of the query.
once your query is execute to the desired connection then you need to use fetch the result to the CSV file by use of the TEXT_io package
which will open the text file with .csv extension and you have to pass the each line to that text file with comma separated values as "ss","rr" etc.
or you can use the ole2 package to call the excel application and then fetch the data of exe_sql query to that.

SCCM 2012 - Export Query Results

Hi guys, I have a query under "Monitoring" - "Overview" - "Queries" and have my results in the result pane however I want to print the report or export to a CSV file. I cant see an easy way to do this? Surely we dont have to create the query then
create a report just so we can export or print the report? Information is on my screen and is exactly what I want but no obvious easy way to get this in a format that is usable
I only see the export MOF option available
Thanks
Nick

I know this is an old post but I see Garth replied a couple days ago - on this same theme I have just upgraded to Office 2013 and the cut and paste from Queries and Collections from SCCM 2012 (which worked fine in Office 2010) seems to now not
work with my Excel 2013 - you do mention it works for you in your post. The results I see that I have 4 columns in my results it just pastes them into 1 cell - it doesn't break up the columns. I have tried pasting to notepad first then to Excel
- doesn't work - also tried Paste - Special - Unicode Text or Text and still it all goes into one cell. Is there something I have to change with either SCCM or Excel to get this to work again?
Let me know if you have run into this with Excel 2013....thanks
Kevin
I am seeing the same issue. Win 7/Office 2013 fully patched.
Edit: Got it to work by pasting into Notepad, saving as .txt and opening that file with Excel.

Problem by using EXCELL button to export query results

PLS try to assist me. By using this SAP option I got a message saying : "The following template is missing - SAP-SM.XLS" (see the attached file) Our basis people fixed the problem in the development environment The are very responsible people - and they are aware to update the QA and PROD environment with it . It is comfortable SAP option and I am really interested to have it in the Production environment. PLS inform me what can be corrupted and what should be checked to be on the sure side before updating the PROD. Thank You in Advance Sincerely, Ronna

Hi mallorz,
According to your code, a computed column is a virtual column that is not physically stored in the table, unless the column is marked PERSISTED. I recommend you can use a common table expression (CTE) as a temporary result set,
a CTE can be self-referencing and can be referenced multiple times in the same query. You can refer to the following T-SQL statement.
;with cte as(
SELECT ItemID, Price, DiscountAmount,ItemPrice - DiscountAmount AS TotalCost
FROM MyItems )
select * from cte
WHERE TotalCost > 500
ORDER BY TotalCost DESC
Or you can add a new computed column to the existing table, then you can specify an expression for a computed column in T-SQL.
For more information, you can review the article about specify computed columns in a table.
