Problem with exporting to flat file

Hi all,
I have a dataset with many records. Each record has about 26,000 characters. I want to read the whole record into a table with a single field. So, I have a single field with CLOB datatype.
Now I want to export these records to a flat file. I tried spool on and spool off in SQL. But it prints on the first 84 or 85 characters of each record.
Can somebody tell me what is wrong ? Can somebody suggest a way to do this using expdp ?
I am working with Oracle Database 10g.
Someone please help, this has been going on since long...
Thanks a lot
sandeep

Thanks a lot for your reply Yoann. I tried what you've suggested and it worked.
But when the table was spooled, the record, after every 84 or 85 characters, gets printed on a new line.
Also, there is a separator "RECORD-----...." that gets printed every 8 or 10 lines. Can I also get rid of this in someway ?
Please excuse my silly questions, I'm very new to oracle.
Thanks and regards,
Sandeep

  • Need help: Problems with exported Dreamweaver html file in different browsers

    I'm trying to send out a newsletter, and had our designer create it in Dreamweaver, and then export and html file which we uploaded.  For some reason it looks wrong on Mac's, Gmail, and a few issues with Outlook.  Does anyone know how to help with this, or had to work around this problem in the past?
    I've attached our html file as well.

    Palo Alto Joins the Ban Against          
             Non-Recyclable Materials
           This Spring, Palo Alto joined the list of more than 30 cities and counties in California who are making good on their efforts toward reducing their greenhouse gas emissions
           by enacting partial or comprehensive bans on polystyrene (PS) foam and/or non-recyclable disposable foodservice containers. Around the same time, a California statewide ban on the use of PS containers was tabled before reaching the State Assembly floor. Representative
           Jerry Hill, one of AB 1358’s sponsors, pulled the bill due
           to concerns addressed in the Appropriations committee hearing of the bill, regarding the fiscal impacts which
           were not addressed in bill’s contents.
           Largely represented by the California Restaurant Association, opponents of AB 1358 lobbied legislative representatives and argued there would be a negative fiscal impact on struggling restaurant owners and their customers in order to accommodate the more expensive alternatives to PS containers.     There are the unquantifiable and “hidden” costs of contaminating our bodies and environment which would far surpass the fiscal impact on the plastics, restaurants and consumer industries. Studies published by the Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education have indicated that varying levels of styrene residues
             are present in 100% of all human fat tissue in the
             United States, as PS products are found to lose weight after in contact with hot or fatty/acidic foods and liquids, causing migration of the styrene into the food or fluid, ending up in the human body. On the high end, the levels were “one third of levels known to cause neurotoxic symptoms”. In the environment,
             PS is rarely recycled and does not biodegrade.     Supporting safer alternatives to polystyrene, in addition to the collection infrastructure and processing mechanisms for the compostable and recyclable products would help create more green jobs in the long run and would be a move in the right direction away from unnecessary harm
           to our health, our communities and our world. Keep your eyes open for a revised version of AB 1358 in Spring 2010!     For more information about polystyrene

  • Problem with extraction of flat file to infocube

    Hi there,
    We are workin on SAP SCM APO release 7 that has the componente BW release 7. and we're trying to load data from a flat file to infocube like we used to do in release 5.
    The problem is that we get the message that no data is available everytime we run the DTP. The transfer structure is:
    1. source system: flat file
    2. data source: a flat file according with our CSV file
    3. transformation between the data source and the infocube
    4. infocube
    do i need to create an infosource even i'm loading from a flat file? With the release 5 of SAP SCM APO i don't need to create an infosource. It works fine from the data source to the infocube.
    We don't fine any notes related so I'm asking if you have experienced this before with the release 7.0 and how do you solve it.
    Regards

    Hi,
    In BI DTP loads data directly from datasource to infocube. No need to create an infosource. But make sure that you have loaded data till your datasource i.e. upto PSA. For that you need an infopackage to load data from flatfile to PSA. Then from PSA, you can load data to cube by your DTP.
    You have to create a  flatfile datasource and give path to the CSV file. I guess you have already done this. Now right click on your datasource and click on create infopackage to create an infopackage. here also check the path and start the infopackage. It will load data till your PSA. If this loading is successful you have data in your PSA. Right click on your datasource and click on manage. Thus you can check your data in PSA. Now you need transformation between your datasource and cube which you already have. Now run your DTP and your data will be loaded from PSA.

  • OIM 11G- Web Console- Problem with "Export Deployment Manager File"

    Experts,
    I am using gogle chrome browser on oim11g setup.
    I was able to Import/Export the objects using Import/Export Deployment Manager File.
    The reason why I opted for chrome is that I was unable to connect to login to the web console, it was just asking for userid and password and after some time, the browser(Internet Explorer 7) hangs on.
    And with FireFox 5.0.1, it is the same thing both import and export deployment manager file windows opens as soon as I click and they just close after 2-3 seconds.
    The problem now is after updating the java to "Version 6 Update 26 ", the Export Deployment Manager File stopped working. The window pop-ups and closes in 2 seconds.
    But Import Deployment Manager File is working fine with out any problems.
    The pop - up blocker is not enabled.
    And I am sure that it was working fine earlier with chrome before the java update.When I remove the updated java version, chrome is asking to download the latest java version.
    Any suggestions, that helps to work with chrome or firefox or IE?

    Venu,
    I have never had any luck getting anything after Version 6 update 23 to export properly. I would remove your updated Java and restore to a previous version of Java.

  • Problems with exporting a .jar file

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a small java game and wanted to export in as a jar file.
    The program runs fine in the IDE and it generates the jar without any warnings.
    However, when i try to execute the jar, it simple "blinks" the basic frame and exit.
    A better description might be, that it looks like the Jframe opens, but then closes again quickly.
    I'm using Eclipse as IDE, and follow the Export wizzard.
    My project is devided like this:
    package : framework.
    package: sound.
    package: sprite.
    folder: sounds.
    folder: sprites.
    I'm guessing it somehow can't find the images, but as i said, it runs fine in the IDE.
    My MANIFEST looks like this:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Sealed: true
    Main-Class: framework.EagleFlight
    Hope you can help.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer.
    I can export it from Netbeans, but not Eclipse.
    However, from Netbeans I get no sound, when executing the jar.
    Anyway, I'm happy enough with the exporting, now I just need to get sound, for which i have
    made another thread here.

  • How can I fix this problem with exporting Pages files?

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with exporting Pages files to Word or PDF (I haven't tried the other formats). Whenever I try to export the Page file, I get one message like this: "The document "XXXXXXX" could not be exported as "YYYYYYY". This problem started after the last Pages update, before that it was working fine. I restarted the computer, updated the OS, but the problem hasn't been solved.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thank you in advance!
    Best regards,
    Filipe

    Computers are made of parts made by humans and assembled by humans of materials that are not perfect.
    For example, a display cable that was accidentally pinched during assembly would pass quality control testing with flying colors and would not fail until the lid had been opened and closed several times.
    Likewise a display might not fail until powered on and off a few hundred times.

  • I'm having problem with exporting video from premiere pro cc 2014

    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I'm having problem with exporting video.
    When I click Export and media, the window for exporting appears and it starts exporting video.
    But after a few minutes, it looks like it has completed exporting video and says there's a bug in exporting.
    It literally says it has a problem with compiling, but I don't know what the real problem is.
    I tried many things like restarting computer and Premire Pro but it's no use.
    But it works when I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 for exporting video.
    If anyone knows any possibilities about why this problem happens, please let me know.

    I'm having a similar issue.  When I go to export my project, I add it to the render queue, set it up with the h.264 settings that I've used with countless past versions of the program, and then hit render.  Randomly, at some point in the process, the render just stops and the ETA just keeps climbing.  I actually had to save an XMF file of the CC 2014 project and bring it into the previous CC version of Premiere just to finish it.  Even a clean re-install of CC 2014 doesn't work.

  • 10g data export to flat file (diffrent)

    hello
    I could see that this question have been asked several times in several ways. But I have a little specific thing to ask which I could not find :(
    Here is what I am trying to achieve:
    -I have close to 50 tables which I need to export in flat file format with some deliminator.
    -I would like to use a stored procedure to achieve it
    -I want to write a simple SQL statement(not PL/SQL program) for the user's convenience for modifications in future
    -I have tried exporting data using SQL developer in csv format but I would like to suppress the table headings and replace them with some other
    -I am expecting not more than 1000-2000 records per table and also the number of columns per table are not more than 10
    -I am using SQL developer 1.5 to do this and it has the export functionality but eventually the process would be automated so I would like to make it a stored procedure.
    Any help is appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    Hi,
    I've problem with exporting devices to my solaris zones (i try do add support to mount /dev/lofi/* in my non-global zone).

    I reboot the non-global zone, even reboot global-zone, and after that, in sapdev zone, there is no /dev/*lofi/* files.
    What i do wrong? Maybe I reduce my sol 10 u4 sparc instalation too much.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks for help,
    Marek

    I experienced the same problem on my system Sol 10 08/07.
    Normally, when the zone enters the READY state during boot, it's zoneadmd will run devfsadm -z <zone>. In my understanding this is to create the necessary device files in ZONEPATH/dev.
    This worked well until recently. Now only the directories are still created.
    It seems as if devfsadm -z is broken. Somebody should issue a call to sun.
    As a workaround you can easily copy the device files into the zone. It is important not to copy the symbolic link but the target.
    # cp /dev/lofi/1 ZONEPATH/dev/lofi
    Hope this helps,
    Konstantin Gremliza

  • Problem with Exporting Data to Excel

    Hi Everyone,
    I have problem with exporting the data to a excel file. I am using a XP
    system in German which uses comma "," as the decimal point , and I also set
    "Use localized decimal point*" under the FronPanel Options to be true. But
    the exported excel file can not recognize (or just ignore) the comma for a
    whole column (flow rate), for examle "1,234" (1.234 in non-german system)
    would be 1234. But if I open its text file where the data came
    from by calling Excel directly, there will be no problem. Is this a bug of
    LabVIEW, or I forget some settings?
    Thanks a lot!
    Le
    P.S: The LabVIEW version is 8.2.1 and the Office version is Office2007.

    Hi Le,
    Sound familiar; here in The Netherlands we have the same problem.   That is why we use the English versions for XP and Office.
    I don’t quite understand how you interface to Excel. Directly with ActiveX or through a CSV file.
    Can you explain a bit more ?

  • Problems with mp4 (h.264) files, colour desaturated.

    Hey guys. I've been having problems with mp4 h.264 files (not quicktime h.264). When playback on windows media player and windows classic media player it looks terrible. the saturation are weird (espesially on colours like yellow and red) and there seems to be this weird blur on the image. For so long I thought there was problem with the export from Premiere Pro, today however when playback on Quicktime player or VLC player it matches the orginal. I exported the file through premiere pro. I don't know what the problem is, maybe it's just the playback on windows media player and window classic media player.
    Playback on quicktime

    Can someone tell me what's going on?

    When playback on windows media player and windows classic media player it looks terrible. the saturation are weird (espesially on colours like yellow and red) and there seems to be this weird blur on the image... when playback on Quicktime player or VLC player it matches the orginal...
    On the contrary, with more than high probability playback in QuirkTime shows you wrong colours because of its crooked colour management.
    How do you judge on colour matching between your source file and what you see in media players?
    What is your spec and GPU in particular? Do you use any sort of colour management in its settings?
