How to export query results automatically each time to a saved path

Hello,
Does anyone know if it's possible to save an "export pathway" in your query, so that whenever you run that query, the data are automatically exported to a specific pathway and filename? This would be great compared to the manual method of having to right-click in the data, selecting export and then drilling to the pathway and filename each time. I have looked thru the menus and help, but cannot seem to find out how to do this, or if this is even a feature of the software. Thanks in advance!

Not really, but previous used paths should be remembered as shortcuts on the left of the dialog... aren't they?
Also make sure you have set the Preferences - Database - Select default path to store export in.
Have fun,
K.

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?

How to get query result in comma dilimited text or excel file?

Does anybody know how to get query results in comma delimited
text file or excel file, I tried spool abc.txt, but the result
showed some ------ lines
Thanks

Try doing this in your sql scripts
set heading off
set pagesize 0
set linesize 4000
set feedback off
set verify off
set trimespace on
set colsep ","
spool output.txt
select * from dual (or whatever you are querying
spool off
There may be a couple other set statement that you could add but
this should get you started in the right direction

USB is rarely bootable under Mac OS X and PowerPC Macs. Get a Firewire Superdrive from http://www.macsales.com/ if your intent is to boot the machine. PPC, which is PowerPC, indicates the Mac predates 2006.

How to export the result to excel or txt as the SQL result format.

Hello,
I want to know how to export the result of the Oracle select result to a txt or a excel file.What is the command.
I knew the command of spool,but the format of it export is not the same to the result of Oracle result area.
Thank you very much.

Hello Yucky,
what do you mean by
the format of it export is not the same to the result of Oracle result areaDo you mean the output of a tool other than SQL*PLUS?
To enhance the formatting of a spool file you can set
SET MARKUP HTML ON
SPOOL ONthis will add html markup to format the output as a html table which you can open in a browser or in excel.

Do you really need an Excel file (binary) or a simple CSV?
If you just need a CSV then search for DUMP_CSV at http://asktom.oracle.com or at this forum
If you need formatting and/or multiple worksheets then you can use free tools like
https://xml-spreadsheet.samplecode.oracle.com/ or https://exceldocumenttype.samplecode.oracle.com/

Hello,
It is possible to store the time in user variables. How to export those variables depends on the deployment of the file.
Some information about showing elapsed time can perhaps give you a start:

About exporting query result to excel

Hi all,
I take the report result to an excel file and at this point I am being asked for my user name and password of BW login, repeatedly for many times, based on the amount of data it contains. Its quite irritating, as i need to fill that each time, it asks for that. So kindly suggest me, how to deal with this.
Regards,
Naveen.A

Hi Naveen,
Not sure that understood what you exactly meant. But will try to help. When you execute query in BEx you can save a workbook detaching it from a server. In this case all reporting information will be kept without further updating from a server. The client will just open the wb and see all information. Certainly, he will not be able to make drilldowns. But for this you save your wb as a view with all drildowns already done.
Best regards,
Eugene
