How to enclosed the column with in double quotes while spooling to csv fie

Dear Members,
I have to spool a sql to a CSV file. I have two columns to spool one is vendor_id and another is vendor_name. But the 2nd column vendor_name has commas in it so if i see the o/p it looks like this:
Suppose vendor_id = 12790 vendor_name = T T I, INCORPORATED
when i see the csv file it looks
12790,T T I, INCORPORATED
I want each column be enclosed in double quotes like this
"12790","T T I, INCORPORATED"
How can i do this in sql*plus while spooling to a csv file.
Thanks

Spool to csv file problem--comma included in the data

Friends,
i spooled the table's data to csv file.
when i open it in the excel sheet some of the records are in the different cells.
below is the record....
Colonial Street, Ruwanda
so when i view it in the excel sheet.
Colonial Street is coming in one cell
and
Ruwanda is coming in the next cell.
but "Colonial Street, Ruwanda" is the single entry in the column.
so how can i spool the record which is having comma (,) in between the words to get it in the single cell of excel?
thanks

Usually putting double quotes around your column values should take care of that:
select     '"'||column1
       ||'","'||column2
       ||'","'||column3||'"'

Is reports running as a local client version or via an application server?
If it's an application server then the file should have been created on the server, not on the client.

How to spool CSV file

Hi,
I want to spool a csv file from unix.. I have a shell script where im calling the .sql file in returns it select the data from the table and spool it to CSV..
THe problem i have here when i spool it , it is not comming in the right format..
for ex :
set head on;
set feed off;
set trimspool on;
set linesize 32627;
set pagesize 32627;
set echo off;
set termout on;
O/p is like
empid ename sal mgr
1234 xysss 2323232 wewew
Can anyone please help me out...

Hi,
When posting formatted text (such as your output) on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
What's wrong with the current output?
What is the correct output you want?
A lot of folks concatenate all their output into one big string column for CSV output.
That is, instead of:SELECT     empid
,     ename
,     hiredate
,     sal
they say:SELECT     empid
|| ',' || ename
|| ',' || TO_CHAR (hiredate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
|| ',' || sal
Most of the time, NUMBER columns don't require special formatting, but DATEs often do.

Need help in writing data to a flat file in .csv format

Hi All,
could you please show with a sample example to write data in .csv format using UTL_file.
The result of the refcursor i want to write to a file in .csv format.
How can i achieve this.
Thx

Hi,
There are two ways to acheive this.
First and which I prefer is creating a SQL script which will generate csv file at the specified location in CSV format. And then this SQL script can be called from your cron job similar to how you call stored procedure. Following is pseudo code that can be used -
set linesize 500
set echo off
set feedback off
set prompt off
set pagesize 0
spool <name of the csv file>.csv
<Your select statement>;
spool offPut select statement delimiting columns you want to use with ','. E.g. following query should create a CSV file named as abc.csv with one record and 2 columns delimited by comma. First column is ENO and second column is ENAME.
set linesize 500
set echo off
set feedback off
set prompt off
set pagesize 0
spool abc.csv
select ENO || ',' || ENAME from employee;
spool offSecond, you can write a PLSQL procedure and then call this procedure from cron job. There is a generic procedure shared by BluShadow some time back which is a very good example for this. Please refer to following link for this solution -
REF Cursor creating CSV files
I will suggest to use first method above if possible since it will be faster and less complicated in my opinion. Second method is recommended for scenarios where select statement is created dynamically and cannot be written during development.
Hope this solves your purpose.

CSV output of a sql query

Hello All,
I have a table named as 'product' having two columns prod_name and prod_status.
Table Name: product
prod_name prod_status
bag A
Pen A
Pencil B
Eraser C
Paper A
Now if I will write a query
select prod_name from product where prod_status='A';
Then it will return me output as:
prod_name
bag
Pen
Paper
But I want output as:
prod_name
bag,Pen,Paper
I have checked solution for this problem on many thread but havent found any good solution. I want it for 10G.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: Tushky on Aug 4, 2010 2:04 AM

It looks quite amazing that you did not found any solution for this porbs on forum. Anyways try the below query, it works in 10g.
To write in CSV file, spool a CSV file and copy the contents....
with c as
(select 'bag' str from dual union all
select 'pen' str from dual union all
select 'paper' str from dual )
select rtrim(xmlagg(xmlelement(e,str||',').extract('//text()')),',') op
from c

How to export data to .csv and send that file to folder using sql commands?

Really hoping someone can provide some code sample or point me in the right direction (with examples using sql).
I am using oracle 11g with plsql developer. My requirement is that the data retrieval should be automatic. That means when query a data in oracle table , the data should be convert into .csv file and then it should send that to some specific folder.
Example: Assume that student_sub1 table have all students subject1 data.when i write a query like select * from student_sub1 where student=1, the student1 data should convert into .csv file and then the .csv file should go to student1 folder.
Hence I am requesting you to suggest me how write a sql code to convert the data into .csv file and to create a folder to send that file using oracle.
Your inputs helps me alot.
Thanks in advance!!!!
Waiting for your replies.... Cheers

How to write stored procedure to spool data into file

Hi ,
We get differnt excel sheets of differnt products.
We upload data from excel sheet to database . After uploading data , I run Preprossor (sql script) to check the data
This preprocessor script contains several select statements that query different tables in database .the output is spooled into a cvs file .
I need to change this script into a stored procedure and spool the output to cvs file.
File spooling should be done inside the stored procedure so that if I call this stored procedure from java program ,or any concurrent program,its output is .cvs file and in parameter should be productname.
But inside the stored procedure , we cannot spool the data to some .cvs file . Is any way.I do not want to spool to file when calling.It should be inside stored procedure.
Or do I need to create a table and insert all the select statements output into it .
Here is the sample preprocessor script.
spool Graco_Product.csv
set head off
set feedback off
set Pagesize 100
SELECT '1. EVERY ASSEMBLY GROUP ADDED IN sys_PRODUCT TABLE MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE ITEM IN WOC_ASSEMBLY_ITEM'
     FROM DUAL;

     assembly_group_name
     FROM association
     WHERE product_model_name = 'Graco_Product'
     AND assembly_group_name NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT assembly_group_name FROM woc_assembly_item);
SELECT '2. A RULE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE EXPRESSION FOR ITS ACTION SIDE.'
     FROM DUAL;
SELECT 'RELATION_ID , RELATION_TYPE'
     FROM DUAL;
SELECT wr.Relation_ID                    ||','||

Problem in csv file generation

Hi ,
I am trying to spool a query in csv format using "col sep ,"
but it is giving problem for the text values like example i have a sql_text column which gives the sql text. in the csv file which was generated the select statement columns are going to next column where the comma is invoked.
is there any way to format while generating csv file that entire sql_text should come in one column

Extra characters at end of line in spool file

I am trying to generate csv files from SQL Developer using queries written to spool files. I have embedded the queries and associated set commands in script files and call them, as advised elsewhere. This gives csv files that look fine, with headings and data comma separated and enclosed with double quotes. The problem is that the files seem to contain a lot of extra characters at the end of each line. They seem to be spaces, but not sure. This is causing problems for the person trying to load the data.
I'm using version SQL Developer 3.1.07.42, Java 1.6.0_11.
Any ideas on how to avoid the extra spaces appearing? Thanks for any help.
Ben.

Jeff,
The SQL in the script file is below. To be honest, I have reduced it down to a simple select from dual and it still puts extra spaces at the end of the single line.
col ord noprint
spool test.csv
SELECT ' ' ord,
'ZONE_ORDER_NUMBER'||','||
'ZONE_NAME'||','||
'ZONE_TYPE'||','||
'DESCRIPTION'||','||
'START_DATE'||','||
'END_DATE'
FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT zone_name ord,
'"'||zone_order_number||'"'||','||
'"'||zone_name||'"'||','||
'"'||zone_type||'"'||','||
'"'||description||'"'||','||
'"'||TO_CHAR(start_date,'DD-MON-YY')||'"'||','||
'"'||TO_CHAR(end_date,'DD-MON-YY')||'"'
FROM zones
ORDER BY ord;
spool off

Need help for Scheduling a Spool file and FTP the file

I have one requirement like below...
1. Start Scheduling a job
2. Generate a Spool file (.csv file)
3. If Spool file generation is successful then start FTP the file
Else End job
4. After successful FTP process end the job.
We need to create a log file also for this job.
Can any body give some idea how will i proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Chris' may be wrapped, but it includes the funky ability to query remote files directly in SQL due to it's use of pipelined functions. A feature I've also got in my own FTP package and very useful for monitoring logs on remote servers through our Apex applications. ;)Ditto - also rolled my own FTP package as doing wildcard file listing requires custom support depending on the type of FTP server you're dealing with. The text part of the responses differ (these are not RFC'ed) and makes parsing more complex than what it could have been.Yeah, the differing responses can be a pain, though fortunately they are far and few between. There was a bug in Chris' package in that it wasn't handling a two code response from a windows FTP server for one of the commands, but I emailed him and he fixed that. Not his fault, he didn't have a windows FTP server to test on at the time.
FTP is a pretty straight forward protocol and easy to wrap a PL/SQL package around (using <i>UTL_TCP</i>).Absolutely. and the RFC details almost everthing you need to handle. It was quite quick to knock up a package, similar to the code hoek has linked to.
I think there is a lot of common stuff that many of us do in this regard. Always wondered how well a proper GPL'ed open source project providing a PL/SQL development framework and libraries would do...I think there'd be a lot of arguments about what is the best way of doing things. :D

How to Use SPOOL Command with Bind Variables

For the Following SPOOL I want the GEN_DATE to be entered by the User at the time of execution of the SQL Script. Is it possible in SPOOL Command.
set colsep , -- separate columns with a comma
set pagesize 1000 -- get rid of disturbing ---- between pages
set heading on -- Print column heading
set trimspool on -- remove trailing blanks. eliminating the spaces up to eol
set linesize 700 -- line size should be the sum of the column widths
spool spool_results.csv
SELECT *
FROM GUI_SITE_JOURNAL
WHERE GENDATE_ BETWEEN '2012-11-01 00:00:00:00000' AND '2012-11-02 00:00:00:00000'* ORDER BY GEN_DATE;
spool off;
The reason is to give the ability to user so that he can enter any range without modifying the code of the script.
Can Any one help me please.

If it's a string, that's a big mistake. Information about dates belongs in DATE columns.
If it's a DATE, then don't try to compare it to strings, such as '2012-11-01 00:00:00:00000' .
spool off;

Can Any one help me please.One way to do that is with substitution variables:
SET     VERIFY OFF
ACCEPT start_gen_date     PROMPT "Starting date (e.g., 2013-02-18 23:00:00.00000): "
ACCEPT end_gen_date     PROMPT "Ending date   (e.g., 2013-02-18 23:59:59.99999): "
SPOOL spool_results.csv
SELECT    *
FROM        gui_site_journal
WHERE        gen_date BETWEEN '&start_gen_date'
                AND     '&end_gen_date'
ORDER BY gen_date;
SPOOL OFFThere are security considerations. Substitution variables give devious users the power to issue any SQL command, such as DROP TABLE. Users that have SQL*Plus access already have that power, anyway.
