Write a query to a xl file

Hi everybody
I need to write a simple query result to a xl format file, how can I do that?

Using the FOR XML Clause to Return Query Results as XML
When you include the FOR
XML clause in your query, you must specify one of the four supported modes—RAW,AUTO, EXPLICIT,
or PATH. The options available to each mode vary according to that mode;
however, many of the options are shared among the modes.
Please refer the below links ,will be more useful

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 write the output of an SQL query to a text file?

I am using Oracle 11g and SQL plus.
I have a large table called rating.
Whenever I do
SQL> select * from rating;
The output goes much beyond what the SQL Plus screen can show. I want to therefore store the output of this query into a text file.
How can this be done? Please help. Thanks.

How to write named query if we want to use IN syntax in our sql statement?

I cannot find a suitable category about named query, so please move to appropriate place if there is any.
When we write named query, below statement is fine.
Query q2 = em.createQuery("SELECT o FROM Table1 as o WHERE field1 = :input1");             q2.setParameter("input1", "value1");
Now, my question is, how can I write this type of query when we want to use the IN sql syntax? As below statement CANNOT return correct results. Even I tried to put a pair of single quote [ ':input2' ], it won't help also.
Query q2 = em.createQuery("SELECT o FROM Table1 as o WHERE field2 IN (:input2)");             q2.setParameter("input1", "3633, 3644");
Can anyone suggest? Thanks.

Can anyone suggest?The above is in your code right? Not in some configuration file?
Then you do it the same way as with regular jdbc/sql.
1. You start with a collection of values - call it collection A.
1. Create a for loop that dynamically creates the string using 'bind' variables (whatever you want to call the 'colon' entity in the above).
2. Call the createQuery method using the string that was created
3. Create a second loop that iterates over A and populates with setParameter.
Pseudo code
        Object[] A = ...
        String sql = "SELECT o FROM Table1 as o WHERE field2 IN (";
        for (int i=1; i <= A.length; i++)
              if (i == 1)
                 sql += ":input" + i;
             else
                 sql += ",:input" + i;
        sql += ")";
        Query q2 = em.createQuery(sql);
        for (int i=1; i <= A.length; i++
              q2.setParameter("input" + i, A[i-1]);
              }By the way there is a jdbc forum.

Extract data from Query to a Flat File - scheduling in the background

Hi All,
We need to extract data from a query to a flat file periodically, but each time 10 separate executions based on 10 profit centers, to get the separate files.
So, we have PC1, PC2, ... PC10 Profit centeres.
We have Query1, with profit center variable.
We have created 10 variants for Query1 so that we can execute for 10 profit centers.
Now, we have used RSCRM_BAPI to execute the Query1 and write to a flat file. Now we are having a problem in getting this feature used to execute the query automatically for 10 different varaints.
Thanks in advance,
_ Shashi

Shashi,
You can try using Information Broadcasting or Reporting Agent. You can schedule this in Information Broadcasting.

Cannot write to transaction log "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_Audit.log

Hi friends,
My server Intelligence Agent (SIA) can not start because the database service "SQLAnywhereForBI" can't start also. I got the following error :
"I . 08/09 20:35:06. A read failed with error code: (1392), Le fichier ou le répertoire est endommagé et illisible.
E. 08/09 20:35:06. Fatal error: cannot write to transaction log "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_Audit.log"

I. 08/09 20:35:06. Database server shutdown due to startup error "
inside the database log file.
Please, can you help me

I found the solution by following the advice given on the following forum:
http://evtechnologies.com/transaction-logs-on-sybase-sql-anywhere-and-sap-businessobjects-bi-4-1
In fact, I crushed the BI4_Audit.db and BI4_Audit.log files and I replaced with others that I got from another machine where I installed BO again and where the files are not corrupted . After I logged in to the CMS database by executing the command in the command line:
dbisql -c "UID = DBA; PWD = mypassword; BI4 Server =; DBF = C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ sqlanywhere \ database \ BI4_CMS.db."
Once connected, I start the command:
alter database 'C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ sqlanywhere \ database \ BI4_Audit.db' alter log off;
The query runs successfully.
And that's good, I can be connected to BO smoothly.
Thank you again Eric

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.

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.

SQL>To display characters as stars (as per the unix banner command) you need some sort of bitmap representation of your character set. As I've done, you can define your own, or you could probably get at the internal fonts somehow (I used to do this sort of thing in machine code back on the BBC Master, but not sure how you'd access the font/character set information from within Oracle)
If you actually want the H and the I displaying next to each other then that's a little more work, but you can have a go at that yourself.

A better way to write last_day query

Hi folks,
I am looking for a better way to write a query to find last_day in month but if its sunday or holiday it should move to day before last day.
So for example if 31 is sunday it should go for 30, if 30 is holiday it should move down to 29.
I got this so far but the connect by level is hardcoded to 15. Want to see if there is a better way to get this working:
select max(datum)
from (    select last_day(trunc(sysdate)) - level + 1 as datum
              from dual
        connect by level < 15)
where to_char(datum, 'day') != 'sunday'
   and to_char(datum, 'DDMM') not in
         ('3012')Best regards,
Igor

Like this
select to_char(last_day_month, 'Day') day_is,
       last_day_month,
       last_day_month - case when to_char(last_day_month, 'fmday') = 'sunday' then 1
                             when to_char(last_day_month, 'ddmm' ) = '3012'   then 1
                             else 0
                        end last_business_day_month
from (
          select last_day(add_months(trunc(sysdate, 'year'), level-1)) last_day_month
            from dual
          connect by level <= 12
DAY_IS    LAST_DAY_MONTH LAST_BUSINESS_DAY_MONTH
