Hi Avinash,
Try this:
create or replace package dump_refcursor_test is
type return_cur is ref cursor;
function get_data return return_cur;
end dump_refcursor_test;
create or replace package body dump_refcursor_test is
function get_data return return_cur
is
l_cur return_cur;
begin
open l_cur for select 'qwerty' from dual;
return l_cur;
end get_data;
end dump_refcursor_test;
Create a file called spool.sql put it in c:\. Put his in the file:
SET NEWPAGE 0
SET SPACE 0
SET LINESIZE 80
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET ECHO OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET HEADING OFF
SET MARKUP HTML OFF SPOOL OFF
set sqlprompt "".
var res refcursor;
exec :res:= dump_refcursor_test.get_data;
spool c:\spool_output
print res
spool off
Now go to sql*plus and type this:
@c:\spool.sql
This will give you a file with only the data, here "qwerty"

How to fit the data in Oracle SPOOL FIle

Hi all,
Word_rapped ,Formatted etc etc dif every thing ...
Some columns data arent fitting in to the page.What I want to fit the ouput of query in to one page (A4).
is there any SPOOL command to fit

I'a affraid that you have to use more than one command to do it,
set pagesize 72 --- set how many lines will be on a page
set linesize 80 ---- set howmany character will be in one line
column columnName fromat a20 -- sets that column with columnName will be 20 character wide
set heading on | off - set heading on and off
You have to experiment a little bit , you can find more formating comands in documentation
Best Regards

Changing the file extension in Oracle Spool

Hi All,
I need to spool some specific data for the entire year. I'm using date parameter for selecting the month wise data.
In single parameter I’m retrieving file_name,From_date and to_date.
But by default spool file is getting generated with .lst extension, Please let me know if any one has any idea for changing the file extension in spool, Below is code for your reference.
SET heading off;
SET termout off;
DEFINE L_DATE=&P_DATE; --here I’m passing Month and year value e.g. ‘JAN-09’
DEFINE L_FILENAME='Invoice_Header_&L_DATE';
SPOOL d:/&L_FILENAME;
SELECT invoice_id || invoice_date
FROM apps.ap_invoices_all
WHERE invoice_date >= '01-&L_DATE'
AND invoice_date <= last_day('01-&L_DATE')
AND ROWNUM <= 2;
SPOOL off; Thanks in Advance,
Arun

SQL and Spool File: low performance (Oracle 8)

Hi,
I've got some difficulties with the spool function: it works very slowly when I have to write on a file.
In details, a shell script starts the PL/SQL procedure, which starts the spool function that produces a file.dat .
Oracle solves the query and sends out the data immediately. This with 850 million of records for a 20gb final file. The total time to write this file is 8 hours.
May it be a solutions with could to improve this file writing procedure, trying not to use the spool function, like a C program which could work on the memory? In this way it could take fewer time.
Thank you for your suggestions and solutions.
A

Oracle RDBMS does not write to the spool file. The client does (SQL*Plus in this case).
SQL*Plus uses standard kernel calls.
To open/create the file and write data to it:
- open call with flags O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC (see open (C System Call) - Code Wiki)
- write call to file descriptor (see write (C System Call) - Code Wiki)
These are standard calls supported by all modern kernels (Unix, Linux, Windows, OS/X, etc). The performance of which is entirely dependant on how fast the kernel can service the call. Which in turn is dependant on the speed of the file system on which these calls operate.
Speeding up a spool type process typically means using async I/O (called overlap I/O in the Windows kernel). The approach being to fetch the next set of data from the database cursor, while writing the previous fetch's data to spool file, at the same time.
Of course, better and faster hardware can also improve the performance of the I/O subsystem and make such a spool process faster.

Spool file problem,Can't see the query in output file.

Hello ,
I am facing a very old school kind of problem .....about spool file ....
The scenario -
I have made a script by name DB_Status_checkup.sql which i want to fire on the database to check the database status. In this script their are many queries regarding the data dictionary views to know about the database. It consist of nearly 25-30 different select queries..
The problem is i want to make a spool file of the output of that query....i want to see the SQL query & the output below in the spool file, so it will be easy for me to judge the result. But i can't see the SQL query , i can only see the output , & in so many queries it all gets jumbled up....even i can't understand where the next output starts ...
Sample of my SQL Script ....
clear buffer
spool D:\DB_status.txt
/*To check the database startup time*/
Select to_char(startup_time, 'HH24:MI DD-MON-YY') "Startup time"
from v$instance
.........next query n so on....
spool off;
In the output pf the spool file at D:\db_status.txt..
Startup time
08:25 16-JUL-10It shows only the output of the query in the spool file not the query,
What should i do to get the SQL query as well as the output of that query just below it in the spool file ???
Please suggest if you have anymore ideas , regarding this .....
ORACLE 10g R2
Windows Server 2008
Thanks in advance ...

Why don't you just use database control, instead of re-inventing the wheel?
Apart from that, SQL*Plus has it's own reference manual, which you apparently refuse to read.
The answer to your quiz/doc question is

How to spool file to where start script file located

I'm writing a sqlplus script, eg. runMe.sql, which is going to run in customer env, will generate some data files eg. result.csv.
By specify location such as 'spool /certain/path/on/disk/result.csv', I can spool to any path I want. However, my concern is below:
1. We gets many customers and the script might be run under different location.
2. I don't know where customer would save the script, furthermore, I don't want customer to input location manually every time.
3. Generally, customer would run the script something like "sqlplus username/password@sid @/certain/path/on/disk/runMe.sql". They don't want to pass any parameter at run time.
4. I wanna spool file to "/certain/path/on/disk" automatically, as a result, result.csv file would appear under same path with runMe.sql.
5. I tried "spool ./result.csv" but it navigate to where sqlplus session is running.
6. Also tried &0 etc, but make no sense.
Can anyone tell me how to obtain start running script file path in sqlplus script(runMe.sql) ? Just like access command parameters under Linux.
$0 is the name of the command
$1 first parameter
$2 second parameter
$3 third parameter etc. etc
$# total number of parameters
$@ all the parameters will be listed
Thanks in advance.

Are you looking for SQLPATH ?
A good and clear example by Paul @ https://forums.oracle.com/message/3727891
In this way your customer has to set one environment variable SQLPATH=/location/of/script/file/where/they/put/your/runMe.sql and just say :
spool %sqlpath%\result.csv
in your runMe.sql. So, runMe.sql and result.csv will be on SQLPATH location.

Date and time in spool file name

Hi,
can anyone show me how i can write the code below so that the spool file will automatically take the system time and date?
thanks again.
set term off;
set echo off;
set heading off;
set linesize 1500;
set pagesize 9999;
set feedback off;
spool /home/oracle/ATM_Upload/files/CRD000119MMDDYYHHMISS.DAT;
SELECT rec_ind||source_type||bbdsa_code||seq_num||dt_ti_ext||ver_num
as atm_header
FROM atm_dc_hd;
spool off;

Hi,
I do something similar to this in a file called ed.sql which I use in SQL*Plus to give me a history of SQL*Plus buffers in separate files which follow the naming convention $DATABASE_$SID_$TIMESTAMP.sql. I use it from SQL*Plus when editing, rather than typing "ed" I type "@ed" and it does the naming for me:
-- Turn off terminal output
set termout off
-- Save current buffer to a temp file
save tmp.txt replace
-- Set editfile name to $DATABASE_$SID_$TIMESTAMP.sql
column fname new_value fname
column sid new_value sid
select trim(sid) sid
from v$mystat
where rownum = 1;
select global_name||'_&sid'||'_'||to_char(sysdate, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS')||'.sql' fname
from global_name;
set editfile '&fname'
-- Retrieve our initial buffer
get tmp.txt
-- Turn terminal output back on
set termout on
-- Fire up the editor
edYou could probably adapt this in the following way for your needs:
column fname new_value fname
select 'CRD000119'||to_char(sysdate, 'MMDDYYHH24MISS')||'.dat' fname
from dual;
spool '&fname'I don't know how you get the 'CRD' part of the filename but you may be able to generate that too using the above as a guide.
cheers,
Anthony

Display error messages in spool file

I am running the below code (ssn_run.sql) using sqlplus 10.2.0.1.0 on my windows XP professional client PC.
The database is a Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit running on Solaris
There are 3 insert statements and 3 update statements. I have mentioned 'show sqlcode' after each of these
dml statements. Hence currently, I look at the spool file, analyze before I confirm that every sqlcode is a 0.
Now, is there a way to alter this code so that it can show if any of the sqlcode is not 0(if there is a problem) somewhere
at the end of the spool file ? Or even if I am able to just indicate if there is any ORA- error anywhere in the code and can indicate this somewhere at the end of the spool file, that is fine as well.

QUESTION:
As in the code above, I am inputting a value while running the script. And I am spooling all of it to a spool file. I also get the old and new values , like
old 7: client_54.PERSON_OLD WHERE OLD_SSN = '&&input_ssn'))
new 7: client_54.PERSON_OLD WHERE OLD_SSN = '123456774'))
old 11: WHERE PERSONID IN(SELECT PERSONID FROM PERSON_OLD WHERE OLD_SSN = '&&input_ss
new 11: WHERE PERSONID IN(SELECT PERSONID FROM PERSON_OLD WHERE OLD_SSN = '123456774'
Is there a way I can get rid of these in the spool file?

Creating a spool file with date/time appended to file name

In Oracle Sql*Plus, I want to spool out a file, with the date-time stamp as part of the file name. Any idea how to do this?
Here's what I have right now:
SQL>
set serveroutput on size 200000;
rem
rem $OFSA is a UNIX alias so sql plus is talking to UNIX
rem
spool $OFSA/logs/OFSAP/common_coa_id.log;
prompt 'Enter date in mmddyyyy format, without quotes';
exec upd_common_coa_id_driver ('&date_mmddyyyy');
spool off;
As an example, I'd like to have a file with this name: common_coa_id083002.log
Thanks.

In SQL*Plus this is what you can do to get the current date/time as part of the spool file:
============================================================================================
SQL> column tm new_value file_time noprint
SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'YYYYMMDD') tm from dual ;
1 row selected.
SQL> prompt &file_time
20020816
SQL> spool C:\Temp\logfile_id&file_time..log
. /* put your code here */
. /* it will go to a file called C:\Temp\logfile_id20020816.log */
SQL> spool off

Seek help to format spool file from SQL*PLUS

I am running a Unix shell script to call a Oracle 11g SQL script from a Oracle database. In this SQL script, I need to connect to many different remote databases to select data, then sool these records as one big text file to a directory. Then email the file to related Group users. In the spool file, there is a line on the top of each page like this:
DUMMY
DB_NAME
I know this is caused by connect to remote database in SQL*PLUS. My connection string is like this:
Conn system/password@Oracle_SID
How can I remove these lines or how to skip these lines into spool file? Please advise. Thanks in advnce. Wish all of you Happy New Year!!!

Hi,
It sounds like you have some kind of formatting (such as SQL*Plus TTITLE) producing the output you don't want. If that's the case, temporarily stopping the spooling might not help you. Find out what is causing the output that you don't want. You say that you know it is caused by the CONNECT statements, but it must be more than that. I've written scripts with CONNECT statements that don't have anything like what you reported at the top of each page; in fact, they don't even have pages: the output is one continuous stream. Find out what's putting the unwanted output there, and that will be a big clue as to how you can stop it.
You say that you know the unwanted titles are there because of the CONNECT statements. If so, use database links instead of CONNECT. You don't have to use dbms_scheduler or utl_file; just eliminate the CONNECT statements. (I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with dbms_scheduler or utl_file; you should definitely investigate those tools. I'm just saying that using database links is independent of them.)
What would happen if you did all your connecting to different databases at the OS level? Can you write a shell script that connects to each database in turn, and runs a SQL*Plus script in each one. Each SQL*Plus script would have a SPOOL or SPOOL ... APPEND command, or maybe you could build the SPOOL into a LOGIN.SQL script.

Spool file contains spool off; statement and a / in it .how to remove these

Hi ,
I am new to using forums.
I am a basic beginner user of oracle .
I need to spool the output of 2 select queries into a file.
I could achieve it.
But the file also contains ,
SPOOL OFF;
in it . How to avoid these in the file.
Any help is appreciated .
thanks

The spool file starts with a blank line followed by the record and then blank line after every record .
What to do to get all records one after the other without blank lines in between the records in the spool file.
In addition to Toni's mention of PAGESIZE and TRIMSPOOL, look at LINESIZE. Also, what are you using to view the spooled file? Are you sure you aren't just seeing line wrap within that application - like Notepad?

Remove extra blank rows in ORACLE SPOOLING

I am trying to spool a table result to a .dat file.
The problem is the output spool file has 3 rows after each row with a column having its row data split as 3 for every enter key in the data.
