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

but it also suffers from Microsofts limitation of 65536 rows per sheet.

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/

Export result of ssas query result to excel file

Hi All,
I have browsed a SSAS cube. I want to export result of SSAS cube into excel file.
Kindly give your input.

Hi,
I do not know whether there is a direct solution but there is an indirect way of doing it. I always follow this method if I ever want to get MDX results into Excel.
1 - Install the DAX Studio (I know you want MDX results, so do not get confused by looking at the word DAX. Continue reading). You can download it from the following location.
http://www.sqlbi.com/tools/dax-studio/
2 - Once you install DAX Studio, Go to the Add-Ins ribbon. Click on DAX Studio.
3 - There is an option "Tabular Server" and there is a drop-down list where you can enter the SSAS (MD CUBE Server) server name. Enter the server name manually. If you have multiple SSAS Databases and if you are interested in a specific SSAS database
enter "Initial Catalog=Your SSAS Database Name" in Additional Options section and Click Connect. You can successfully connect to the SSAS Server now.
Here are the details described so far in pictorial representation.
4 - Enter your MDX manually and execute the code via DAX studio and you will get your results right-away in Excel.
Now, isn't that an elegant way of getting MDX results into Excel :) ? Besides Excel's Pivot Table option, I do not know whether there are any alternate solutions to this but wait for other Pros' comments as well.

Query results to a file

I have a requirement to put the query result in a file(.csv),
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.

Exporting data from Oracle to an existing Excel file

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to open up an excel file on the server (with the necessary lay-out) and to write the query results in it?
Another remark: the file needs to be saved under a different name (we use the user name as part of the files since the file will be sent through email rather than be displayed on the user's screen)

If you are satisfied with a straight dump, you might want to use utl_file to make a standard CSV-file.
If you need a little more control of the layout, you might want to check out the SYLK file format (quite ancient)
These require no Excel application and works on UNIX servers too. If you really have to have the full magic (on a Win32 platform) you could try using Jacob or some other Java-COM-bridge to launch the Excel-application and enter the values into the worksheet but this falls into the "duct tape and chewing gum"-category of stability in my opinion...

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.

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.

Steps to save a Query/Report as Excel file in Share folder

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to schedule a BI report automatically on a daily basis and save it in a Sharepoint folder as a excel file. I have gone through the Forums but didnt get a clear idea on how to proceed this with. I read about RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i hope we need to do this manually to save the file each time. Also, in Broadcaster there are options only to send Email & save in Portal.
So, if anybody have idea on saving a Query/Report as excel file in a Share folder automatically, kindly help me in suggesting the steps to do this activity.

Hi
1. Create Three Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1, F2 and F3.
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv).
3. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , first check the file is there are not in F1, if yes then rename the file with date and time or date and transfer the files from F1 to F2 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
4. Then Create a small ABAP program to check the file in F2, if it is there then Trigger the Event, and using that event you execute teh PC.
5. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3 i.e xyz06032010.csv
6. Next day morning F1 and F2 are empty and F3 is having the backup files.
So use this method, I used the similar logic and it is working fine.
Timinings are importent i.e what time you need to dump the fule in F1 and what time you need to run UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F1 to F2 and what time UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3.
OR
1. Create Two Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1 and F2
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv)
3. Then load the data using InfoPackage, through PC.
4. At the end of the load Attach a simple Program to Move the xyz.csv file from F1 to F2.
5. So next day the file will come to F1 and the it will load and at the end it will move to F2.
Else you can use simple one or two lines of UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script to move the file from F1 to F2 , once you load is over.
While moving the file from F1 to F2 you can append the date at the end of the file and then move to F2, it is use full for future reference.
