Spool filename append

Hey Everyone,
I am using oracle version: 9.2
I wanted to know if spool filename append command is available?
I want to display the query results on an html page that has a calender i have created using javascript. And not to spool the output to a new html page but to an already existing one. how to do so?

spool is a sqlplus command. Which means you can use a 10g or 11g client to query your 9iR2 database.

It doesn't matter what version of the database you have; SPOOL is a SQL*Plus feature.

Old spool is appending

Hi,
when ever i run the script, it is generating output to spool. but every time when i run the script it is appending the old spool.
It is not generating the new spool request. we are working in ECC 6.0
Any clue?

Hi,
Do you have a z Print program for your script???
If yes.. Then found where are you calling OPEN_FORM ..
There is a Parameter in this form called OPTIONS ,, Pass here *TDNEWID = 'X' * .. It will always generate a new spool request for your form..
Code like below..
data : s_itcpo type itcpo.
s_itcpo-tdimmed = 'X'.
s_itcpo-tddelete = 'X'.
s_itcpo-tdnewid = 'X'.
s_itcpo-TDNEWID = 'X'   " here a new spool request parameter is set
*     Display one dialog for user. Then enable several SAP-Script
call function 'OPEN_FORM'
    exporting
      device   = 'PRINTER'
      dialog   = 'X'
      language = sy-langu
      options = s_itcpo ----- > here is the structure
    importing
      language = sy-langu
    exceptions
      canceled = 1
      device   = 2
      form     = 3
      options = 4
      unclosed = 5
      others   = 6.

Spool filename that contains spaces

Hi Folks,
Does anyone know a technique for creating spool files that
contain spaces in the path name?
I have a script that I want to pass in a directory path as a
parameter. The script then uses this directory as the path for
dynamically created scripts which are run later in the main
script, but SQL*Plus won't allow spaces in the path name.
e.g.
myScript.sql
DEFINE P_DIR = '&1'
SPOOL &P_DIR.script1.sql
-- Dynamic SQL statements
SPOOL OFF
@&P_DIR.script1.sql
Called by plus80 @myScript 'C:\Documents and Setting\andy\'
I've tried various combinations of single and double quotes
around the variable references and even tried a HOST cd &P_DIR
command, all to no avail. I'm sure I've seen this done
somewhere before.
BTW Using a batch file is not a possible solution :(
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Andy

Spooling queries output to text file

Hi All,
I need help to spool the output to a text file for a sequence of queries that I need to execute.
Lets say, the queries would in a sql file as follows:
Select * from emp where empId = 1
Select * from emp where empId = 2
Select * from emp where empId = 3
The output in txt file should have the details as
Employee Id Employee Name Employee Designation
1 Alex Manager
2 Conrad Sr Manager
3 Herman Technical architect.
I am trying to execute this from sql developer.
Any pointers in this regard would be highly helpful.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Why not use just one query
SELECT       *
FROM       enp
WHERE       empid     IN (1, 2, 3)
ORDER BY empid
You can use "SPOOL filename APPEND" to re-open and add to an existing spool file after it has been closed, but there's no need to in this case.

Append new records for a spool file

Hello,
I am running a query and sending the output to a spool file.
The query never returns the same data because it is run every 2
hours
How can I make the spool to append the new records and not
overwrite the old records?
Thanks
Carlos

SPOOL.SPO[OL] [filename[.ext]|OFF|OUT]
Oracle documentation provides no indication that any append
functionality exists for the sql*plus command SPOOL.
I can recommend two solutions:
1. Spool to a temporary file in sql*plus, then perform a
concatenation using the OS. Automate the process with a shell
script (or batch file, as the case may be).
2. Write the file using DBMS_OUTPUT.

How to append timestamp to log file in SQL*Plus ?

Version: 11.2.0.3
Platform : RHEL 5.8 (But I am looking for platform independant solution)
I want to append the timestamp to spooled log file name in SQL*Plus.
The spooled log filename should look like

spool run_filename_&sysdt_var.Logas suggested in

Creating a spool file with date/time appended to file name
None of the above worked in RHEL or MS DOS. Any workaround ?

I have tested your suggestions. But I still couldn't append the date to the logfile in RHEL or MS DOS SQL*Plus

How can I copy text from PDF and include the source filename in the pasted selection?

I'm a biologist and frequently cut-and-paste notes from PDFs of scientific articles. I name all of the PDF articles with their PubMed ID, a short unique identifier (e.g. 19397482.pdf). When I take notes, I will select a few sentences from the PDF and then paste them into a text editor for later reference.
Can anyone suggest a method or script that would allow me to paste the copied text with the Pubmed filename included in a single action? I would want the pasted output it to look something like this, with the filename appended to the end:
Of the transcripts that were significantly different, there was a greater number of transcripts that were down-regulated in the IVC embryos (380) than the number of transcripts that were up-regulated (208). [20668257.pdf]
This would really help me to properly cite information sources during the writing process. I know there are bibliography managers that might be able to do something like this, but I prefer to read the PDF articles directly in Preview and select the text as I am reading.
Thanks very much for any suggestions / ideas.
jjw

To copy and paste in a single action:
tell application "Preview" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
    -- Get the PubMed ID:
    get the title of the front window
    set thePubMedID to word 1 of result
    -- Copy the selected text to the clipboard:
    keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
    delay 0.25 -- adjust if necessary
    -- Add the PubMed ID to the contents of the clipboard:
    set theNotes to the clipboard
    set the clipboard to (theNotes & space & "[" & thePubMedID & ".pdf]")
end tell
tell application "Notational Velocity" to activate
tell application "System Events"
    -- Paste the contents of the clipboard to the end of the Notational Velocity document
    key code 125 using command down -- ⌘↓
    keystroke return & return
    keystroke "v" using {command down} -- ⌘V
end tell

Passing a FILENAME from a LINUX SHELL Script to an SQLPLUS Script

It seems that the FILENAME value from the LINUX script was not being passed into the SQLPLUS procedure.

Not sure if I had the right usage => ${FILENAME}above is correct syntax

Output of spool command?

Where will the output of the "spool filename.out" command go if I do not supply a full path name? If I'm executing my PL/SQL script in iSQL, it goes into the directory I was in when I started up iSQL. When I'm using SQL Developer, it never shows up anywhere I've looked. I see the output in "script output" window below the editor, but I can't find "filename.out" anywhere.

It should go in the default script path if you have not specified where it should go. check prefs > Database > Worksheet for details

Append a top line to multiple txt files

Hi there,
I have to manipulate txt files in powershell and I may not be very good at it... so any help is welcome ^^
I've got multiple files in a single folder. They are exports from a DB and are formatted like that :
"name1"
"name2"
"name3"
I need them to be :
=1
name1
name2
name3
In short I have to remove all the quotes and add "=1" on the first line of each file.
Here's what I've got so far :
$fileEntries = [IO.Directory]::GetFiles("C:\temp");
foreach($fileName in $fileEntries)
(Get-Content $fileName) |
Foreach-Object {$_ -replace '"', "" } |
Set-Content $fileName
foreach($fileName in $fileEntries)
Write-Output "=1`n" | Out-File $fileName -Append
It appends at the last line, I just can't get the "=1" at the top... any help would be much appreciated !
Thanks !

Hi,
This will do what you're after:
Get-ChildItem C:\Temp -File | ForEach {
$stripped = (Get-Content $_.FullName).Replace('"','')
Write-Output '=1' | Out-File $_.FullName
$stripped | Out-File $_.FullName -Append

How to use variable in Spool

how do I pull a sequence number from the database and use it in a sqlplus spool filename...
this is running as: sqlplus user/pass@sid@c:\file.sql
example of the file:
BEGIN
declare
V_E_NUMBER varchar2(7);
begin
SeLECT 'E'||lpad(RWP.E_NUMBER_seq.NEXTVAL,6,'0') INTO V_E_NUMBER FROM DUAL ;
end;
end;
SeLECT 'E'||lpad(RWP.E_NUMBER_seq.CURRVAL,6,'0') INTO V_E_NUMBER FROM DUAL ;
set echo off
SET HEADING OFF
SET LINESIZE 430
set verify off
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
SET timing OFF
SET termout ON
SET feedback OFF
spool d:\securedASP\CORE.BU34500.AR.'||:V_E_NUMBER||'.RECEIVD
select * from table;
spool off

Hi,
Use a substitution variable for that:
COLUMN     v_e_number     NEW_VALUE v_e
SELECT   'E' || lpad ( RWP.E_NUMBER_seq.NEXTVAL
                    , 6
               , '0'
               )          AS V_E_NUMBER
FROM    DUAL;
SPOOL d:\securedASP\CORE.BU34500.AR.&v_e..RECEIVD Note that this does not use PL/SQL at all.
The variable can be used without quoting or concatenation.
That may lead to situations where it's ambiguous regarding what is part of the variable name (the variable is named v_e in this example), and what is literal text that happens to come right after it. To resolve such questions, use a period to mark the end of the variable name.
In your case, you want a literal period right after the variable name, so use two: the first one marks the end of the name, and the second one is taken literally.
Look up the SQL*Plus commands
COLUMN,
SET CONCAT, and
SET DEFINE
for details.
