Formatting Records for Output Files in SQL-Plus

     


SQL Plus was originally a reporting utility. Unfortunately, it is the only tool provided
by Oracle for generating flat files. To remove the 'friendly' formatting, here
are the commands required:





set echo off
set newpage 0
set pagesize 0
set space 0
set feedback off
set trimspool on
set heading off
set linesize 555



-- Then, to create a flat file, with pipe delimiters:



spool invoices.dat;

select invoice_id || '|' ||
invoice_dt || '|' ||
total_amt
from invoices
order by invoice_id
;

spool off;

exit
