How to remove trailing spaces in SQL PLUS spool

Hi,
I've requirement to pull data from tables and I'm using sqlplus spool to automate data fetch from various tables:
I'm using the following script for the same :
set echo off
set feedback off
set pagesize 0
set linesize 2000
set heading on
set trimspool on
Spool table1.TXT;
prompt col1|col2|col3|col4|col5
select
LTRIM(RTRIM(col1))||'|'||
LTRIM(RTRIM(col2)) ||'|'||
LTRIM(RTRIM(col3)) ||'|'||
LTRIM(RTRIM(col4)) ||'|'||
LTRIM(RTRIM(col5)) ||'|'||
from TABLE1 ;
spool off
After using trimspool on option also I'm having trailing spaces issue how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mahender.

Hi,
do you need LTRIM/RTRIM? This is namely your problem. By using a function around your column Oracle reserves the maximum lenght for the column. So what do you get without those functions? Furthermore you are concatenating all the columns. This is also a function. For getting '|' in between columns you can also set a seperator by using
set colsep '|'Herald ten Dam

How to remove trailing space-sqlldr failed OCI-30951-exceeds max length

sqlldr failed to load the xml into xdb ( table created through schema registration) because of the padded space in element 'Country' whose maximum length is defined as '3'…Is there any way to remove the extra trailing space using the control file or xdb annotation in the xsd? Thanks!

Hi,
Its good that u pasted the complete log file. In your environment you have to run this upgrade tool only once from any of the middle tier.
And with respect to your error that u got in precheck is quite simple. All u have to do is just run this script from by connecting to portal schema using sqlplus.
Run dropupg.sql
Location-------- /raid/product/OraHome_1/upgrade/temp/portal/prechktmp/dropupg.sql
Later you re-run the upgrade tool and let me know the status.
Good luck

How to remove trailing space at the end of a song.

This is related to this thread: Shorten song length (remove trailing bars) in Garageband 10.0.1
I have also done some Googling and have found some links related to selecting and exporting regions, which I have tried, but this is what I noticed.
It does not work when I select certain instruments, eg Synthesizer - Soundscape - Subtle Shiftscape or Synthesizer - Lead - Screamlead. I believe that what is happening is that those sounds tend to have some additional length to it. No matter where I cut my region, the additional length still get added. I don't have that problem if I don't select those instruments.
Anybody has any ideas?

Are you using GB 10.0.2 as well?
I am using both - GarageBand 10.0.2 and GarageBand '11.
And if I deselect all regions, File - Add Region to loop library is of course greyed out. Is it possible to save multiple tracks as a loop?
No.
Yep, I've deselected all regions. Still no luck.
My answer above was in answer to your "This time GB felt I only needed the first 4 measures of the song, even though I defined an entire Region over the length of the song and selected everything with Ctrl-A..."
You should be able to export the complete song, if you deselect all regions, and select all of the song using the cycle region with "Export Cycle region only" enabled, or with "Export Cycle region only" disabled, nothing selected, and the end-of-song marker correctly set.
However, this will not get rid of the trailing empty bars.
Reimport the bounced song to a new Ringtone project and trim it and save it as a tone, or to a regular project and add it to the Loop Library.
Find the AIFF file of the loop in the Loop library - it will be installed in your User Library in your Home folder
~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/SingleFiles/

Viewing/Identifying blank spaces in SQL*plus

How can i identify blank spaces in Sql*plus? How will i know if the result of the following query has the blank spaces on the right trimmed?
SQL> select rtrim('sxxx ') from dual;

Why? This seems a pretty strange requirement for me.
Are you sure that you have a problem with blank padded characters?
select 1, '|'||rtrim('sxxx ')||'|' from dual
UNION
select 2, '|'||'sxxx '||'|' from dual;
Row#     1     '|'||RTRIM('SXXX')||'|'
1     1     |sxxx|

Export to text removes trailing spaces in XI R2

I've found an article that talks about the problem of the export to text removing trailing spaces, but the article mentions that this is fixed in Crystal Reports XI with a newer version of u2ftext.dll to version 11.0.0.941.
[1218375 - Trailing spaces ignored when exporting to Text format|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333333373335%7D.do]
I'm using Crystal Reports XI R2 and my u2ftext.dll version is already 11.5.11.1470.
I'm I missing something or is there another solution to the issue in XI R2?

To access ifs data from SQL, you need to (officially) setup a 'user view'. Refer to the Java API documentation on how to do this. Once you have created the user view, then you may access this view using any SQL tool.

How to invoke multiple sessions of sql*plus thru pl/sql program

Hi
How to invoke multiple sessions of sql*plus thru pl/sql program.
Thanks

How to invoke sql*plus in a procedure?????
I have to invoke more pl/sql sessions?????No you don't "have to".
Look at what you are trying to do.
You have a program running inside the PL/SQL engine. This is running nicely inside the Oracle database and is perfectly capable of issuing other SQL statements, PL/SQL programs etc. inside it's nice cosy Oracle environment.
You are asking for this PL/SQL to shell out to the operating system, run an external application, for which it will have to supply a username and password (are you planning on hard coding those into your PL/SQL?), and then that external application is supposed to run more SQL or PL/SQL against the database.
a) Why hold all this code external to the database when it can quite happily reside on the database itself and be executed through jobs or whatever.
b) Consider what would happen if someone were to replace the external application with their own program of the same file name... they'd be able to capture the username and password for connecting to the database, therefore a major security flaw.
The whole idea of doing what you want through external calls to SQL*Plus is ridiculous.
