How to export data to .csv file ?

Hi guys, I know this topic is covered many times in this forum. How do I export my table data to a csv file when my data already has some , (commas) in it. For example, I have two columns in a table, ID and DESCRIPTION. The DESCRIPTION column has data which has , (commas) in it. When I export the data using the following script, I see multiple columns in my excel file as DESCRIPTION has data with commas and each part of it is shown as a separate column in excel sheet.
set heading off
set echo off;
set pause off;
spool tbl_account.csv;
select To_Char(ID)|| ',' || To_Char(Description) From tbl_account;
spool off;
Thanks in advance

Have you thought about putting those values between quotation marks?
"test,test" for example would end up in one cell.

How to export data to csv file on a scheduled basis

Hi,
I'm trying to do something that should probably be simple but I just can't figure it out.
I have an existing MS SQL database (2008 R2). I have a very simple SQL script. I need to run this script on a daily basis and save the results as a .csv file.
I've tried creating a job in SQL Manager - that didn't work. Then I found a tutorial that had me use MS Visual Studio... couldn't get that to function either.
Can someone help me understand what program I should be using, and how to go about creating this as a task / job that can run on a scheduled basis?
Thank you!
Chris

Hi, you can follow the below steps to get your work done -
Create a batch file (.bat) and dump the following text into it
          sqlcmd -S myServer -d myDB -E -Q "select col1, col2, col3 from SomeTable" -o "MyData.csv" -h-1 -s"," -w 700
          Replace myServer with your server name,
myDB with your Database name and then replace the query with your actual query.
         -h-1 removes column name headers from the result
         -s"," sets the column seperator to ,
         -w 700 sets the row width to 700 chars (this will need to be as wide as the longest row or it will wrap to the next line)
Save the batch file and the schedule it as per your requirement.
Hope, that helps.

How to import data from CSV file with columns separated by semicolon?

I migrate database from MS SQL 2008 to ORACLE 11g
I export data to CSV file from MS SQL
then I try to import it to Oracle
several tables goes fine using Import data option in the SQL Developer
Standard CSV files with data separated by comma were imported.
chars, date (with format string), and integer data are imported via import wizard without problems
the problems were when I try to import table with noninteger numbers with modal part separated by comma not by dot
comma is the standard separator for columns in CSV file
so I must change the standard separator to semicolon
then the import wizard have problem to correct recognize the columns data because it use only standard CSV comma separator :-/
In SQL Developer 1.5.3 Tools -> Preferences -> Migration -> Data Move Options
I change "End of Column Delimiter" to ; but it doens't work
Is this possible to change the standard column separator for import data wizzard in SQL Developer 1.5.3?
Or maybe someone know how to import data in SQL Developer 1.5.3 from CSV when CSV colunn separator is set to semicolon?

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

How to export data to .csv and send that file to folder using sql commands?

Really hoping someone can provide some code sample or point me in the right direction (with examples using sql).
I am using oracle 11g with plsql developer. My requirement is that the data retrieval should be automatic. That means when query a data in oracle table , the data should be convert into .csv file and then it should send that to some specific folder.
Example: Assume that student_sub1 table have all students subject1 data.when i write a query like select * from student_sub1 where student=1, the student1 data should convert into .csv file and then the .csv file should go to student1 folder.
Hence I am requesting you to suggest me how write a sql code to convert the data into .csv file and to create a folder to send that file using oracle.
Your inputs helps me alot.
Thanks in advance!!!!
Waiting for your replies.... Cheers

How to saving data in csv file

I have problem with saving data in csv file. I would like save my data look
like this example :
excel preview :
A B C
1 10 11 12
2 13 14 15
As we see all values are in separate cell A1=10, B1=11, C1=12 ...
so I try :
PrintWriter wy = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("test.csv"));
values[0][0]="10";
values[0][1]="11";
values[0][2]="12";
values[1][0]="13";
values[1][1]="14";
values[1][2]="15";
for (String[] row : values){
for (String col : row) {
wy.print(col + "\t");
but csv file look like :
A1=10 11 12
A2=13 14 15
but B1-B2 and C1-C2 is empty
the second steep is use Ostermiller library :
OutputStream out;
out = new FileOutputStream("temp.csv");
CSVPrinter csvp = new CSVPrinter(out);
String[][] values = new String[2][3];
csvp.changeDelimiter('\t');
values[0][0]="10";
values[0][1]="11";
values[0][2]="12";
values[1][0]="13";
values[1][1]="14";
values[1][2]="15";
csvp.println(values);
but the result is also this same, is anyone do how to resolve this problem
?

but iI don`t want to seperate with comma....value
I
want to seperate each value to seperate cellWhen you save the file, separate w/ comma
When excel loads it, it will automagicarifficallyput
it in it's own cell.what it is "w/ " ? when I separate my data with
comma excel don`t put value to spererate cells"w/" is an abbreviation of "with". Post the code that doesn't work, along with the results you get. If it's not working with commas, you must be doing something else wrong.

Exporting data to csv files

Please can you help an Oracle newcomer?
Below is a script (which I took from the forums) that I used to
run in Lite to export data to a csv file.
As you can see I am having problems with running the same file
in 8i - It starts off OK i.e. asking for the name of the table
but then, instead of completing the full script it executes a
few lines then keeps asking me for the name of the table. I
suspect there is something wrng in my environment settings
(Comments ON etc.) but I have checked everything with no success.
Any help would be much appreciated as this is a really useful
script which I use the whole time.
Thanks very much for your help.
Regards
Andrew

How to export data in csv

hai ;
can u advise me, how to export the value from databse table to csc and pdf format
please can you provide some sample code
thanks..

Doesn't work that way here. Try something, post some code if you get stuck.
No-one is going to write your code for you.
You will need to use JDBC to query your database, and there are plenty of CSV libraries available for free, or write your own.

Export batch data into CSV file using SQL SP

Hi,
I have created WCF-Custom receive adapter to poll Sql SP (WITH xmlnamespaces(DEFAULT 'Namespace' and For XML PATH(''), Type) . Get the result properly in batch while polling and but getting error while converting into CSV by using map.
Please can anyone give me some idea to export SQL data into CSV file using SP.

How are you doing this.
You would have got XML representation for the XML batch received from SQL
You should have a flat-file schema representing the CSV file which you want to send.
Map the received XML representation of data from SQL to flat-file schema
have custom pipeline with flat-file assembler on the assembler stage of the send pipeline.
In the send port use the map which convert received XML from SQL to flat file schema and use the above custom flat-file disassembler send port
