I have 11.2.0.3 Db in HP UX 11.31, I have to spool a table output in csv format which contains arabic letters in few columns. my spool output is not showing the arabic letters properly.
I'm looking for a way to insert tabs (ASCII 009) in SQL output, to make the output file Excel-ready without manual intervention.
Here's what I need :
SQL> set output myfile.xls; SQL> select article,TAB,count(*) from sales group by article having count(*) > 0;
Instead of TAB I can insert a dollar sign, but then I have to replace it using a file editor, which is a manual operation. I have been looking for an OpenVMS application which can replace all dollar signs by tabs in a given file, with no luck.
I created a DCL procedure (simplified from GSR.COM which I found on the internet) that reads every record in the output file and substitutes dollar signs by tabs, but it doesn't work with tabs, only with "normal" characters.
Even if I use the OpenVMS editor to insert ASCII 009 tab characters in the SQL statement (using the GOLD 009 GOLD SPEC INS key combination), SQL apparently automatically substitutes tabs by full stop signs in the output :
select article,' ',date from werknemers limit to 2 rows; ARTICLE DATE TROUSERS . 12-28-1974 SHIRTS . 10-08-1973 2 rows selected
I can use SQL to create a CSV file (comma separated values) which can be opened by Excel :
"trousers",20 "shirts",30
But the user has to open this file from within Excel and make a number of choices (separator, text delimiter, header row) before (s)he gets to see the desired columnar spreadsheet. That's not automation : I need the generated SQL output file to be double-clickable so that it opens as a columnar spreadsheet immediately.
I can't think of a clue how to get the desired results.
I have table column with varchar2 type. I need to convert the strings in this column to ascii values. Now I know Oracle function ascii() converts a character to ascii values. But it just converts the first character of the string and ignore the others. I need to convert the whole string to ascii values. For example, if I need to convert the string "USA", the result should be '858365' (as in U decimal value is 85, S decimal value is 83 and A decimal is 65).
I think I need to use instr() function and also PL/SQL to pass all these strings through a cursor and then use a loop but I'm still confused about it.

How do you setup a default style for displaying the output columns in sqlplus? The columns look clumsy when queried. They display correctly in Toad but, I wanted to learn through sqlplus and I am relatively new to Oracle world. Here is the DESC of table
SQL> DESC EMP.GROUP_TYPE Name Null? Type ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- -------- -------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ GROUP_TYPE
I am using the SQL*PLUS COPY command to move the data from my database to another remote database. The data in my database also contains DATETIME format. But since COPY command cannot handle DATETIME format, I am wondering is there any workaround for this.
Note: Due to some limitations, I cannot use other methods like DATABASE LINK or EXPDP/IMPDP commands.
select job,case when deptno=10 then ename ELSE 'null' end e10 ,case when deptno=20 then ename ELSE 'null' end e20 ,case when deptno=30 then ename ELSE 'null' end e30 from emp order by 1;

I use sqplus in oracle to output the command output to text file .
I use below set environment variable.
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"

I have a string in this format '2011/06/01 00:00:00'. How do I convert this to date format.I tried to_date,to_char and they give errors invalid number & literal does not math format string. I don't have much control on the string since that is the way is comes from the application.
