Query results to a file

Pls let me know is there a possibility to achieve this using dbms_output package
Thanks

Pls let me know is there a possibility to achieve this using dbms_output packageNo. The DBMS_OUTPUT package is almost ALWAYS the wrong package to use. It is the most misunderstood and most frequently abused piece of PL/SQL software. So no - it is not suited in anyway to spool CSV output. In fact, trying it with a large SQLdataset can crash the Oracle server - as memory will be exhausted and the swap daemons will trash CPU utilisation.
To read or write a physical o/s file - the typical package used is UTL_FILE. It is fairly easy using UTL_FILE to create a CSV file.
However, there could be far better alternatives. The CSV file may be needed by a web client - in which case the file can be created as a CLOB and provided as a Mime text/csv data stream to a web browser (which usually will automatically open in Excel).
The CSV file may need to be delivered via e-mail. In which case, the CSV file contents can be delivered via UTL_SMTP to a mail server as an e-mail attachment.
The CSV file may be needed to be delivered to a remote server. In which case the CSV file can be created as a CLOB and this CLOB can be ftp'ed via PL/SQL to the remote server as a text file.
So there are many options in creating and delivering a CSV file. Using DBMS_OUTPUT though is not a sensible option - ever.

Export query result to txt file

Hello,
I'm trying to export a query result to txt file but I facing some problems.
I'm using the comand below:
set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
set colsep ,
spool C:\estados.txt
select id_estado,cod_estado,nme_estado from tb_estado;
spool off
First problem: My select statement is being writen on my estados.txt
Second problem: The results are being writen with a lot of blank spaces in start of line, for example, instead of write "1,AC,Acre" the line is write as " 1,AC,Acre".
Third problem: The "spool off" statement is being written on my estados.txt
How could I solve it?
Thanks

1. Works here - what version of SQL*PLUS are you using?
2. If you want to prevent spaces, you have to write your SELECT like this:
select id_estado || ',' || cod_estado || ',' || nme_estado from tb_estado;Note: not tested.
3. See 1.

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/

Send query results to a file using Toad

Hello,
I have a select statement that generates xml rows, and I need to send the results to a file. I am using TOAD VI. The rows generate ok but when I right click and choose the save as option all I end up with is an empty file.
Is there a way I can just send the results directly to a file instead of to the screen?
Thanks.

Thanks.A search of asktom.oracle.com for the following phrase found a couple interesting pages:

As an experiment, you might take a look at the output of the following (replace SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE_HERE with your SQL statement):

Saving query result to a file

Hi,
I have a sql*developer version 1.5 but i am getting a problem while saving query result to a file. When i click on "script output "-> "file icon" nothing is showing.
Can anyboby guide me whether its a bug or some other settings are required.
I have oracle 10.2.0.3 working on linux.
Thanks & regards
Girish

I am getting the same thing and as far as I know it is a bug.
As a workaround, you can either copy the contents of the script output or run the query as a statement (F9) instead of as a script (F5) and export the query results from the results tab.

Saving query results to text file

Hi experts,
I would like to save a query results to text file.
The query has desined to the correct structure and I wish the query results will be saved automaticly to text file every time the query is running.
The query should cintain some sql code that will save the query to text file instead of show the query results.
What function of SQL should I add to query to achieve that goal. (The query is a long one).
Thanks in advance,
Joseph

If you are talking about Query Manager, it is not difficult to do. No matter how long your query coding is, just go to the start point of your query. Then press CtrlShiftEnd to select all the TEXTs. CtrlC and CtrlV will copy the text (query codes) to text file easily.
Thanks,
Gordon

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

Procedure to write Oracle Query Result to Excel file?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to write a procedure which will write the result of a Query (select statement) to a Excel file.
I use a third party tool to do so but it fails when the query fetches more than 65000 records!
Can someone suggest me a procedure ( may be written in PL/SQL ) which can be used to achieve this task?
If there is a procedure available readily, can you please share it with me?
Thanks in advance
Himanshu Dabir

There is a ready procedure (actually PL/SQL blocks by Tom Kyte) available at
http://www.quest-pipelines.com/newsletter-v5/0704_C.htm
but it also suffers from Microsofts limitation of 65536 rows per sheet.

How to dump a query on a XLS file?

I´m working in a stored procedure on that i can send a dinamic query and it return me the result into a xls file.
I´ve found the way to generate that xls file from Pl/sql, but now I need be able to assing each field of each row into his corresponding cell. For this I need to put each field of each row in a variable and then work on it.
For generate xls file, I´ve created a datatype by following the indications of Jasson Bennet´s blog.
http://radio-weblogs.com/0137094/2006/10/26.html
In the example, values are assigned directly to the cells. But it not is valid for me because I dont know what will be these...
I think that if you want see the blog, you´ll can understand better what I´m refering...
Thanks for your time...

Strange requirement, you don't know the query, the columns and the number of rows you get, but you know that you want the value of the second column of the second row :)
But try this
declare
t_c integer;
t_r integer;
t_v varchar2(100);
begin
t_c := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse( t_c, q''select 'Roy' name, 'sales' deptno, 25 age from dual
union all select 'Sara', 'HHRR', 30 from dual
union all select 'Mike', 'finances', 35 from dual'', dbms_sql.native );
dbms_sql.define_column( t_c, 2, t_v, 100 );
t_r := dbms_sql.execute( t_c );
t_r := dbms_sql.fetch_rows( t_c );
t_r := dbms_sql.fetch_rows( t_c );
dbms_sql.column_value( t_c, 2, t_v );
dbms_sql.close_cursor( t_c );
dbms_output.put_line( t_v );
end;

Export query results into .csv file?

Hello I have a T-SQL script that gets row counts for a specified date range and then needs to loop (by incrementing +1 day to get the next day's counts) for a large date range. I'm aiming to output & append each query results day counts
into a .csv file via a SQL Agent job since this will take quite a while to complete.
Would using the following as an example template...
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','Text;Database=D:\;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited','SELECT * FROM [FileName.csv]')
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM DatabaseName
...be the method or something else?
If this is good to use I've tried running this but get the following error:
Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 76
Cannot process the object "SELECT * FROM [FileName.csv]". The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions
on that object.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Techresearch7777777,
The error in your post says that the file FileName.csv has to be created with the column names in the first row. Like:
Field1,Field2,Field3
Either you can create a schema.ini file under the same folder:
[FileName.csv]
Format=CSVDelimited
ColNameHeader=False
Col1=Field1 [DataType]
Col2=Field2 [DataType]
Col3=Field3 [DataType]
For the [DataType],you can reference
Schema.ini File (Text File Driver)
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Query result to ASCII file output

Seems like there SHOULD be some rediculously simple solution
to this - but I sure haven't found it yet! I have a query which
produces the a varying number of columns (based on a multi-select
cfselect) which I need to output to a comma delimited ASCII (.TXT
or .DAT or .CSV file). I have all the steps worked out when the
number of columns and their names are known, but I need to make
this variable. First choice would be to be able to just "DUMP" the
query result into a text file. CFDUMP can send results to a text
file, but NOT in comma delimited format, and with all kinds of info
besides just the basic data. (NOT good!) Second choice, since the
"append to text file" uses an output property that expects a comma
delimited string variable would be to use CFLOOP to loop thru the
rows in the query and put them (a row at a time) into a variable,
then use that variable for the file append. Problem is I can't find
a way to just say "send *ALL* to the string variable. Every example
I have been able to find includes specifying the column NAMES when
doing anything with a row in the query result!!! Short of a brute
force series of if/then statements that specify EACH POSSIBILITY
(in this case 60 - 75 of them, and the number WILL GROW!) I haven't
been able to find a solution. There's GOTTA BE A WAY!!!!! :)

auntiealias
> I tried that, but as far as I could figure you still
have to have a specific column name
Look at the udf more closely. If you read the documentation
it states all of the parameters are optional, except the query. So
if you do not supply column names, the function will use the
columnList variable to determine the names of the columns in the
query. If you look at the actual code, notice it uses array
notation to extract the values (not evaluate) .
... (code to create query) ...

<cfset test = QueryToCSV2( data )>
http://cflib.org/index.cfm?event=page.udfbyid&udfid=1197
> I have a cfselect with multiple set to "yes" and the
selections are "which columns of
> data do you want to see?"
Hopefully you are not using the raw form value directly in
your sql, because that is a sql injection attack just waiting to
happen.
