for a really basic spool:
SPOOL [FILEPATH];
SELECT [SOMETHING] FROM [SOMETABLE] WHERE [SOMECONDITION];
SPOOL OFF;see also:

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 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.

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

How to save query result in excel file

Hi all,
How to save query result in excel file from sql*plus tool.
thank you

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/

Display the query result in an Excel file??

hi there..
am writing one script file that queries my DB and display the query result in an Excel file??
i.e: if my query is :
select col1, col2
from table;
and i want the results to dispalys in 2 col. in an Excel spreadsheet..
Appreaciating ur cooperation..
Mourad

set colsep to a delimiter that is not normally part of your data like |
also setup the environment with these other setup commands
Set Echo Off;
Set Concat Off;
Set Pagesize 9999;
Set Feedback Off;
Set Verify Off;
Set Term Off;
Set Space 0;
Set Colsep '|'
Set Underline Off;
If you wanted to use a comma delimiter the setup would be same but the set colsep='","'
with the addition of concatenating a " on the first col and last col of the query
eg.
-- if first col and last_col are character types then
SELECT '"'||col1,....,last_col||'"'
FROM table;
Otherwise if either is a number they would have to be converted with a TO_CHAR

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?

SSMS Addin - How To Access Query Results Grid

Hi,
I want to access Query Result Grid(Results) in SSMS addin but I did'nt found anything.
How can I access Query Result Grid, Rows, Columns and Cells when I executed a script?
Thanks.

SQL Server Management Studio currently supports query execution results to be displayed in three different ways: Results to Grid,
Results to Text and Results to File.
By default SQL Server Management Studio is configured to display query results in
Grid format. If you want to change the default to some other option follow these steps.
1. In SQL Server Management Studio, under Tools menu, click
Options as shown in the snippet below.
2. In the Options dialog box, expand Query Results, expand
SQL Server and then select General as shown in the snippet below. In the right side panel choose one of the three options shown below in the
Default Destination for results drop down list and click
OK to save the changes as shown in the snippet below. The changes will go into effect once you open a New Query window.
Query Result Options for Results to Text
In this format you have the option to display the results in a different tab as well as setting different output options.
In the Options dialog box, expand Query Results, expand
SQL Server and then select Results to Text tab as shown in the snippet below. In the right side panel first select the checkbox for
Display results in a separate tab and then select the checkbox for
Switch to results tab after the query executes and then click
OK. If you would like to also display the column name in the result set then choose the option Include column headers in the result set
as shown in the snippet below.
The options you can use in the Text format are:
Output format: - In the above snippet you could see that by default the output is displayed as columns aligned. Some of the other options that are available are Comma Delimited,
Tab Delimited, Space Delimited and Custom Delimited. If you choose the Custom Delimited option in the Output format drop down list then you need to specify a character of your choice for the delimiter in the
Custom delimiter text box.
Include column headers when copying or saving the results: - If this option is selected, then whenever the results are copied to clipboard or it is saved to a file the column headers are also copied along with the results.
Include the query in the result set: - The text of the query is displayed as part of query output under the messages tab.
Scroll as results are received: - If this option is selected, then the display focuses on the most recently returned records at the end of the results set.
Right align numeric values: - If this option is selected, then numeric values will be aligned to the right of the column.
Discard results after query executes: - If this option is selected, then the query results are not displayed in the reviewing pane.
Display results in a separate tab: - If this option is selected, then the result set after query execution will be displayed in a new tab instead of at the bottom of the query window.
Switch to results tab after the query executes: - If this option is selected, then after the query execution the screen focus will be set to the results tab.
Maximum number of characters displayed in each column: - This sets the maximum characters to display for any one column. So if you have a column that is 500 characters this will only show the first 256 if you keep the default setting.

How to get Query Results based on Analysis Authorization Ranges????

Hi Experts,
I have gone through the lot of SDN Links, however not able to find the answer to my question.
I have an Authorization Issue, NO Authorization

Here is the issue:
Need to see the complete query result when I gave the range in Analysis Authorization for Controlling Area 001-005. Controlling Area is auth relevant and right now a variable is inserted in the query for it. If I select Controlling Area 001, the result for Controlling Area 001 is displayed in query. If 002 then also displayed. If I do not enter anything, then I get the Eye 007 error message.
I am not sure how do I display/authorize the entire result in the query for all the Controlling Areas, I have authorized user to see??

Hi,
 Have you defined the vaule for 0CO_AREA as BT 001-005 in you Authorization for 0CO_AREA.Also how have you defined your Authorization Variable on the query? Have you define as select options or interval? I thing you need to define it as interval or select options.
Hope it helps,

You could use the function queryAddColumn to add the numbers as a separate column to the query.
Let us suppose the name of the query is "myQuery". Then you could proceed as follows

<cfset staticList = "11,12,32,15,36,13,23,14,33,16,44,31,17,34,18">

<cfset staticNrArray = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset staticNrArray = listToArray(staticList)>

<cfset nColumnNumber = QueryAddColumn(myQuery, "staticNr", "integer", staticNrArray)>

<cfdump var="#myQuery#">
The list I have given here has 15 numbers. This will naturally instruct ColdFusion to add a new column named staticNr, having 15 rows. You might like to know that the queryAddColumn function enables padding.
Here is how it works. Suppose that the query originally had only 8 rows before you added the column(of 15 rows). Then, in the new query, ColdFusion would pad the last 7 rows of the other columns with null values. If the original query had 20 rows instead, then Coldfusion would pad the last 5 rows corresponding to the staticNr-column with null values.

How to send query results from BW to R/3 abap program

Hi,
I have to bring in query results from BW into a abap program written in R/3...can anyone help me on how to accomplish this(BW to R/3) please...i was thinking if reporting agent or broadcasting should help but i dont know how to get started.
Please help.
Thank you so much.

Hi Vijay,
As i know, you can send data from BW to Flat file or into any table in BW or to BW application server only.
You need 3rd party to send data to different server.
You can use
1. Tcode : RSCRM_BAPI to download query values/results into a table or into a flat file. OR
2. You can use Infospokes to generate files from ODS/CUBE/master data objects to flat files(local/application server) or to a table.
3. Using information broadcasting we can send mail(dont know much options), but i dont think generation of file possible.
You need to trnasfer generated file from BW to R/3 and load into R/3 using BDC or LSMW(if data is low).
I think, you can also use RFC function modules to read data from BW to R/3, plz check with ABAPer.
Hope it Helps
