Client Tools :: Use Spool Command To Export Data For Other Purposes Within Application
Feb 1, 2012
I would like to use the Spool command to export data for other purposes within the application. We would like to use tab delimiter to seperate the fields but the client wants to know if the text datatype fields can be wrapped in double quotes along with the tab delimiter..
SQL>create table test (id number(2), first_name varchar2(15), last_name varchar2(15),var_no number(4),
type varchar2(1),type_no number(12));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values(1,'mary','ross',132,'S',12);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into test values(3,'Sue','Bill',432,'S',12);
1 row created.
I tried the below spool command to use tab delimited for all the fields but not sure how to wrap double quotes for only the text fields and also would to have the column names in the 1st row but don't seem to get the full column name in the csv file.
set echo off
set feedback off
set linesize 1000
set pagesize 4000
set trim on
set headsep off
set colsep '' (used tab between the quote)
spool test.csv
select id,first_name,last_name,var_no,type,type_no from test;
spool off
I use sqplus in oracle to output the command output to text file .
I use below set environment varialble.
SQL> set echo off; SQL> set linesize 3999; SQL> set feedback off; SQL> set feedback off; SQL> set termout off; SQL> set pagesize 0; SQL> spool mapping.txt select C_SIM_MSISDN,C_SIM_IMSI from RCA_SMART_CARD order by C_SIM_MSISDN;
In ouput file , it look like
SQL> select C_SIM_MSISDN,C_SIM_IMSI from RCA_SMART_CARD order by C_SIM_MSISDN; 060010007 10007 : : : SQL> spool off;
any setting or command that allow me to remove the first sql command line" SQL>select XXXX" and the last command "SQL>spool off" after start up the "spool mapping.txt"
To add application name in a spool file, I am using the below way.
sqlplus username/pwd@tns @xyz.sql APP0115
SQL> define appname="'&1'" Enter value for 1: APP0115 SQL> prompt &appname 'APP0115' SQL> spool &appname._html_jobs.csv; SP2-0768: Illegal SPOOL command Usage: SPOOL { <file> | OFF | OUT } where <file> is file_name[.ext] [CRE[ATE]|REP[LACE]|APP[END]]
But I am getting the above error in the spool file clause because of single quote printing infront of the spool file. But the method of defining a character is "'&1'". So I cannot avoid this single quote in the define clause.
'APP0115'
print the appname like APP0115 instead 'APP0115'.then only I can use this in the spool file clause?
I have a master table A that has 10+ columns along with data and a configuration table B that has only 2 columns i.e table name and column name. For ex:-
Table_Name Column_Name --------- ---------- A C1 A C2 A C3
Now I need to write a sql script that should take the table A Columns defined in Table B and then based on the columns it should spool the columns output from Table A.
For above ex:- I need to spool the C1,C2,C3 columns data from Table A in to some Unix path using SQL SCRIPT.
m spooling the results of some performance tests to a text file, the test script im using calls various sql statements in other scripts and spools to the results, stats and time to the same file...Howver I dont want to spool all the results... i only want the stats and time.. how can i do this?
my script looks like: ===================================================== SET TERMOUT OFF SET AUTOTRACE ON STAT SPOOL f:/testresults.txt
I need to do the following via the sql plus command prompt :
1. Execute a large ".pls" script file which does various inserts and updates to a table. 2. Spool the output of "select * from updatedtable;" to a text file to see the changes made. 3. Rollback all the updates and inserts in the script.
I want to ask if we could create a sub folder using the SPOOL command. I tried the following but it gave "Cannot create Spool file" error.
SPOOL C:TESTABCABC.sql
where TEST is already present in the C drive whereas I want SPOOL command to create a sub-directory named 'ABC' and then create the spool file 'ABC.sql' isnside it.
I have a problem spooling flat files in utf 8. I have 3 different sql that needs to be spooled regulary in utf8 format.the first two containing special chars is spooled without any problem, but the third that is containg only numbers and pipe-s is spooled in ansi format.
i have set nls_lang=.utf8 in my shell script, but that only worked at the first two sql the last doesnt work.
I have also tried to convert file using iconv command, but the output is still in ansi (only works if i put a special char in the ansi file then it converts to utf8 without problem) if i open the file in notepad and save as utf8 then it works, but i cannnot reach the same from unix script.
I am looking forward for getting the output of audit records in a non-editable format as in pdf or something of that sort. Is it possible from Oracle 10g Rel-2?Can i spool output as PDF format?
how to create a file in a folder based on todays date. i need to know how to define a variable in sqlplus and assign a value to it.Here is the code below. The code gets executed without creating a spool file.
DEFINE _DATE = replace('C:\_sysdate_EU001.csv', '_sysdate_', TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY')) spool _DATE set serveroutput on size 100000 select * from dual; spool off
I have a specific requirement. Currently in our system a SQL script is automated trough TOAD DATA ANALYST (Contains 50 sql Select statement) and all the output are stored in a single excel file in multiple worksheet. All these sql statements are running sequentially. Now my requirement is
1) All the sql queries will be executed in database in parallel . 2) All the output of select statement will be stored in a single excel. 3) Idea using any Client but Toad is preferred.
My SQLPULS script below generates 2 million records and it works fine without any errors, which I run from my batch file. (sqlplus -S %CONNECT% @"SCRIPTSmysql.sql"
The script itself runs 2 hours and exits via sqlplus.exe properly without any errors based on errorlevel from my batch and proper generated data. However, I have noticed that spool output file stops generating any records after 1 hour. It appears that client sqlplus.exe is sleeping or verifying something after spooling completed exactly the same period of time that takes to generate my out file. Is there a way to configure my script to avoid this 1 hour sleep/verification process?

I would like to spool a clob column to a flag file, however some of the clob are greater than 32k, and I have to have the same record in a single line in the file. Is there any way to achieve this through spooling?
set heading off set feedback off set term off set long 1000000 set longchunksize 500000 set line 32767 set trimspool on set pagesize 50000 spool file.txt @--this is my select statement. spool off exit
I have some problem when i try to export data from a table which contains a nested table, using toad.
When toad generate the file, in the column corresponding to the nested table, toad just write a (DATASET) instead of the data contained in the nested table
Here is an example: INSERT INTO SSD_REV_S ( REV_ID, REV_TAB, REV_TS, REV_USER, REV_LOG ) VALUES ( TO_Date( '07/30/2007 12:00:00 AM', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM'), (DATASET), TO_TIMESTAMP('4/3/2009 11:20:51.000000 AM','fmMMfm/fmDDfm/YYYY fmHH12fm:MI:SS.FF AM'), 'operator', 'Add EVENT');
REV_TAB is my nested table
way to export data from a table which contain a nested table, as a list of insert statement, so i can move the data to a different database schema? I can also use different client tool.
I am calling a stored procedure from a shell script. This stored procedure is having a CLOB object as an OUT parameter. How to write the data in CLOB object a existing file which is there in my client system. Below is the shell and sql scripts.
Shell script ( echo "hello" ) > /root/file.txt sqlplus -s $user/$pass@$tns @/root/proc.sql /root/file.txt << EOF EOFSQL script set pages 0 set trimspool off
[Code]...
spool offThis code writes contents of the OUT variable to file.txt, but my existing data ('hello') is lost.
I figured the it...Use append in the spool command...
I would like to store my sql query output into text file.Like for example:
select name from emp where emp_id=101; Here output should be in text file as swapna.
I dont want to use spool statement here,since If I use it,spool statement will also be printed in text file which is not my requirement.I just want to take only output.
I usually work in oracle using the different editors like toad, plsql developer etc. I felt command line is good utility because of various supporting points. I am not sure what kind of command line tools is available/used. I am using pretty straight command line (run->cmd, then enter username and password).
The best command line tools available. What is generally used command line tools.
I need to parse .sql file to tree and I can't find how to do it.
(We apply sql files by sqlplus and we have some problems with '/': after anonymous blocks - it haven't applied without '/'; Also not-anonymous block applied twice when we have both ';' and '/'. I need to report about problems before file will apply.) I've tried to use ANTLR with it grammar but it build awful tree.
I am able to start SQLPLUS from Start | Program files | Oracle - OraHome92 | Application development |
Unfortunately, when trying to start it from the "command prompt" window with the following command SQLPLUS, it generates the infamous error message like
"... unknown etc... "
Any variables i need to change on my client machine ?
I am trying to run PL/SQL Developer from command line, So it can open with an opened SQL WINDOW by default, with a script (which I specify in the command ) already in it:
