How to output a query results into a text file

How to output a query results into a text file instead of outputing it to the screen..
is there a way for us to write a SQL query which specifies to output the query results to a text file.
Pls let me know how to do it
Thanking u in advance
regards
Muraly

Muraly,
If you are using SQL*Plus 8.1.6 or later, you can also spool output to a file in HTML format, eg
SET MARKUP HTML ON SPOOL ON PREFORMAT OFF ENTMAP ON
SPOOL c:\temp\report.html
SELECT DEPARTMENT_NAME, CITY
FROM EMP_DETAILS_VIEW
WHERE SALARY>12000;
SPOOL OFF
SET MARKUP HTML ENTMAP OFF
In iSQL*Plus 9.0.1 (the browser-based interface to SQL*Plus) onwards, you can also send the HTML output to a new web browser window, or an html file -- much easier than the command line method.

Hello All,
Since yesterday and due to your help, I've found how to solve my problem.
This post is only to share with you and with the others users of Expert Forums how to Write the results of an SQL Query in SAP Business One to a Text File without making it by exportation.
Requested Text File by customer:
Document type in R/3 If Invoice -- 'Z100' - Position 1 to 4 - 4 characters
Supplier Code -- dbo.Table.CardCode -- Position 5 to 15 - 10 characters
Item Code -- dbo.Table.ItemCode -- Position 11 to 25 - 14 characters
Client Code -- dbo.Table.CardCode -- Position 26 to 36 - 10 characters
Client Name -- dbo.Table.CardName -- Posiiton 37 to 100 - 63 characters
Fixed Blank Field -- ' ' -- Position 101 to 120 - 19 blank spaces
Quantity -- dbo.Table.Quantity -- Position 121 to 140 -- 19 characters
Unit Price -- dbo.Table.PriceBefDi -- Position 141 to 160 -- 19 characters
If Invoice Fixed identifier -- 'Z01' -- Position 161 to 163 -- 3 characters
Fixed Blank Field -- ' ' -- Position 164 to 220 -- 56 characters
Document Date -- dbo.Table.DocDate -- Position 221 to 229 - 8 characters
Delivery Date -- dbo.Table.ActDelDate -- Position 230 to 238 - 8 characters
Sales Order Number - dbo.Table.DocNum -- Position 239 to 260 - 21 characters
Delivery Number - dbo.Table.DocNum -- Position 261 to 282 - 21 characters
Follows the code:
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell'bcp
SELECT DISTINCT
''Z100''
+ ''ZP00002091''
+ IsNull(Convert(nVarChar(44), Cast(T0.DocNum As Numeric(38, 0))), '''')
+ ''PTAP''
+ ''          ''
+ ((LTRIM(RTRIM(T1.U_NumConc)))) + SPACE(10-LEN(LTRIM(RTRIM(T1.U_NumConc)))) + ((LTRIM(RTRIM(T3.BaseRef)))) + SPACE(10-LEN(LTRIM(RTRIM(T3.BaseRef))))
+ ''                    ''
+ ''Z02''
+ CONVERT(varchar(10), T1.ActDelDate, 112)
+ CONVERT(varchar(10), T0.DocDate, 112)
+ ''    ''
+ IsNull(Convert(nVarChar(44), Cast(T1.BaseRef As Numeric(38, 0))), '''')
+ ((LTRIM(RTRIM(T1.ItemCode)))) + SPACE(18-LEN(LTRIM(RTRIM(T1.ItemCode))))
+ ''0'' + REPLACE(SPACE(12-LEN(CONVERT(varchar(12), CAST(T1.Quantity AS NUMERIC (38,3))))),'' '',''0'') + REPLACE(((LTRIM(RTRIM(CONVERT(NUMERIC(38,3),T1.Quantity))))),''.'','''')
+ ''0'' + REPLACE(SPACE(12-LEN(CONVERT(varchar(12), CAST(T1.PriceBefDi AS NUMERIC (38,2))))),'' '', ''0'') + REPLACE(((LTRIM(RTRIM(CONVERT(NUMERIC(38,2),T1.PriceBefDi))))) ,''.'','''')
+ ''ZPHA''
+ ''          ''
+ '' ''
+ ''                         ''
+ ((LTRIM(RTRIM(T4.CardName)))) + SPACE(69-LEN(LTRIM(RTRIM(T4.CardName))))
+ ''                        ''
+ CONVERT(varchar(10), T0.DocDate, 112)
+ ''               ''
FROM
JFOTST.dbo.OINV T0
INNER JOIN JFOTST.dbo.INV1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
INNER JOIN JFOTST.dbo.ODLN T2 ON T2.DocNum=T1.BaseRef
INNER JOIN JFOTST.dbo.DLN1 T3 ON T3.DocEntry=T2.DocEntry
INNER JOIN JFOTST.dbo.OCRD T4 ON T1.U_NumConc=T4.AddId
WHERE T0.CardCode=''C52''
queryout "c:\text1.txt" -c -T -x'
Note that in this code everytime you need to use the symbol ' you have to doble it like ''Fixed Text''.
Be aware that there is one UDF so if you try to make this query run in your SB1 you will have to create a UDF called U_NumConc in the document lines.
Database usage:
JFOTST.dbo.OINV T0
JFOTST.dbo - Database Name.
OINV - Table
T0 - Alias
For any doubts I'll be available to help.
Once again thank you very much for all your help.
Together we are stronger!
Kind Regards,
Miguel Barbosa

How can I export the query result into access(*.mdb) file?

Dear all:
I want to export the query result displayed in jsp into excel file
and access file. And I have exported the result into excel format successfully, only one line should be added in the head of Jsp:
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=gb2312" %>
But how can I export it in access(*.mdb) file? I have replaced "excel"
with "access". But it can't achive my goal.
What should I do to achieve my goal?
Thanks!

The only reason your Excel export works is that Excel knows how to interpret comma separated values as an input file format. Access has no such beast.
If you absolutely must provide info in an mdb, one solution would be to create an ODBC datasource pointing to an empty mdb, then push data into it using the jdbc:odbc bridge, then make a copy of the file and stream it down to the browser. You may run into some ugly file locking items here - set the ODBC connection so it is not shared, and that might help.
This one is going to be ugly.
I suppose another approach would be to write a simple VB applicatin that uses automation to create an MDB, then stream that file down to the browser from your servlet. That would almost certainly be faster than the ODBC approach.

Output query result to a text file in ORACLE

I Need a procedure for generating output query into text file in Oracle.
for Example,
A table called Tab1
the columns are c1,c2,c3,c4,c5.
I want to store the data in text file in...
First row as a column name & then, appear the records in second row onwards...
c1|c2|c3|c4|c5.
Please kindly provide the solution for this ASAP.

In case you are using Oracle 9i or higher you should better create a DIRECTORY rather then setting utl_file_dir,e.g.
SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY log_dir AS '/appl/gl/log';
SQL> GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY log_dir TO DBA; http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96612/u_file.htm#ARPLS069

How to upload the web query result to CSV/Text file

Hi,
Kindly help me on the following.
1)       I have info-provider (IP), which has info-objects "company code" and "supplier".
2)       I built a query by putting company-code with a variable in free-charateristics and supplier-code in row.
3)       When I run this query, it will ask company-code as input and the result will be filtered using company-code.
4)       For this query, I created a web-template and assigned data-provider to display the data on the web.
5)       The user wants to enter input company-code='1000' and write the data in a CSV file in a specific directory. i.e, by clicking the execute button (after entering company code) , the result should go to the CSV or text file. i.e. the application should automatically generate the file with query results.
Note: The user should not use context menu to EXPORT TO CSV OR EXCEL file.
Please let me know, if there is any tutorial. Thanks a lot advance help.
Regards
Kandasamy

1. SELECT INTO
Below method will create table when data is inserted from one table to another table. Its useful when you need exactly same datatype as source table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Insert data using SELECT INTO
SELECT AddressLine1, City
INTO BothellAddresses
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
GO
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO
2. INSERT INTO SELECT
Below method will need table to be created prior to inserting data. Its really useful when table is already created and you want insert data from
another table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Create Table
CREATE TABLE BothellAddresses (AddressLine1 NVARCHAR(60), City NVARCHAR(30))
---Insert into above table using SELECT
INSERT INTO BothellAddresses(AddressLine1, City)
SELECT AddressLine1, City
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO

Exporting query results into a csv file using arabic and hebrew chars

Hi,
iv'e encountered a problem, using plsql to export a query into a csv file.. the arabic turns into question mark. Do you have any idea why?

Usually this indicates a mismatch between client and database character set.
How do you export this query?
What is your database version?
What is your client OS?

How to Save SQL query template as a text file

Hi,
How to save a SQL query template in my server as a Text file?? I tried using Text saver but it is not getting saved in the path specified.
Sweety

Hi Sweety,
In the transaction editor (for business logic), add your query template to a transaction. Add a Tracer after and link the Query property of the SQL Query action block to the Message property of the transaction. Run the transaction and you will see your Action Block's sql script as the message from the Tracer. You can do the same with the Server property, SD and ED, etc.
Also if you wish to dynamically load the sql script into the query, you can do that at run time by linking a script source to the query property. Useful to have if you have to use a complex expression to dynamically create your script. This sometimes occurs when you have multiple filtering inputs from a webpage and you can reduce the number of tables in a complex join when the fields are left empty. Normally this would be done as a way to improve the performance of the query.
Hopefully this is clear. If not I can probably provide some sample expressions.

Mike

Show Select query result in the text file.

Hi all,
i want to show my select statment records in the text file.
thanks in advance.
Mob.

you cannot do a select in a stored procedure.
you could do something like
SQL> set serverout on
SQL> spool output.txt
SQL> declare
       x varchar2(40);
     begin
       select * into x from dual;
       dbms_output.put_line(x);
     end;
X
SQL> spool offor use the utl_file package (more powerfull, less secure, write on the db-server instead of the sqlplus-client)

How To Re-Input More Data To A Text File?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to re-input more data into a text file? I don't want to over-write the text file, but just add more data to it. The current code i have is:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
class trialanderror002 {
public static void main(String args[]){
     Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
     String str;
FileOutputStream out;
PrintStream p;
try{
     out = new FileOutputStream("c:\\products.txt");
     p = new PrintStream(out);
     System.out.println("Please insert text to be written to file...");
     str = input.next();
     p.println (str);
     p.close();
catch (Exception e){
     System.err.println ("Error writing to file");
Basically, after each time the program is ran, i'd like to insert another line of data into products.txt.
Is there a way for me to loop the program too and not remove the data from the text file?
thanx...

just one more question...
i've figured out the code to retrieve the text file and print it to screen...but how do i go about only printing parts of my text file?
So supposing my text file has 5 lines of data/text etc, how would i make it print the first line?...or the second line?...or the third....etc etc...
the current code i now have is:
package Assignment1;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
class trialanderror002 {
public static void main(String args[]){
     Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
     String str;
FileOutputStream out;
PrintStream p;
try{
     out = new FileOutputStream("c:\\trial.txt", true);
     p = new PrintStream(out);
     System.out.println("Please insert text to be written to file...");
     str = input.next();
     p.println (str);
     p.close();
catch (Exception e){
     System.err.println ("Error writing to file");
          try {
          FileReader file = new
          FileReader("c:\\trial.txt");
          BufferedReader buff = new
          BufferedReader(file);
          boolean eof = false;
          while (!eof){
               String line = buff.readLine();
               if (line == null)
                    eof = true;
               else
                    System.out.println(line);
          buff.close();
          }catch (IOException e){
               System.out.println("Error -- " + e.toString());
}

Is there a way to combine their query results into a single function

say I have a bunch of functions that return a query:
<cffunction name="getDeals" access="remote"
returntype="query">
<cffunction name="getDeals2" access="remote"
returntype="query">
is there a way to combine their query results into a single
function that returns a struct of the various results?

Umm, it's probably more suited to an array - effectively
making it into a list of queries. You'd then loop the array and
output each.
I use a similar approach when creating system messages to the
user. Most of my functions that are called do their bit, then at
the end call another function I call "messages". This function
grabs whatever my function sends and appends it to a messages
array.
This way enables me to output a long list of messages -
because I could be calling several functions at the same time. If I
just output a message from each function, each one would overwrite
the other. So I'd get one message at a time.
Immediately after it's output, I then destroy the message
array so that old messages aren't kept inside of it.

Neha

Hello Neha,
Though i have been working with APDs since some time. But havent actually been involved in designing one. But you could find many documents for the APD on web. And as far as i know, you will need a program to save file from APD.
I have a document which explains how you can use APD in process chain. can forward you the same if you want.
I am sorry as i wasnt of much help for you, as i havent worked on similar requirement before, but this thing just striked in my mind.
