I have an sqlplus script which needs to call a function. This function creates an SQL select dynamically and has already been compiled in the database.
My script needs to call this function, executes the SQL request it returns and then spool the data in a CSV file.
My SQLPLUS code is below:
SET HEAD OFF
SET TRIMOUT ON
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
SET LINESIZE 32000
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET TERMOUT OFF
SET ECHO OFF
SET COLSEP ,
spool /a/b/rvibap/c/&1..csv
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE build_select(&1)
spool off;
/
However, I am getting the below error in my CSV file:
BEGIN IMMEDIATE build_select(TYPE); END;
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 17:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "BUILD_SELECT" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( # % ;
The symbol ":=" was substituted for "BUILD_SELECT" to continue.
I am calling my SQL script in the following way :
#test.sql TYPE
I have also tested the build_select function and it functions correctly; return a query in String.
There are few issues with your code.
There is no BEGIN END block enclosing your EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
expression.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE does not display the results of an sql select statement.
You are calling your execute script as #test.sql TYPE which will be parsed as EXECUTE IMMEDIATE build_select(TYPE) i.e plain TYPE without quotes - which will throw an error. You can resolve this however by running it as
#test.sql "'TYPE'"
As I said you cannot directly execute and view results from a dynamic SQL select statement in 11g and below. So you can use the technique used in the other answer which I am not clear about if it generates the select SQL neatly.
If you are in 12c, you can use something like
open a_ref_cursor for build_select(&1);
dbms_sql.return_result(a_ref_cursor);
For 11g and below , here are some of the techniques explained.
How to output result of SELECT statement which is executed using native dynamic SQL?
A better solution if you are ok not to use your function would be
Generating SQL*Plus script using SQL*Plus
Wrong syntax... Maybe you could call the spool you just created?
Here is what could work:
SET HEAD OFF
SET TRIMOUT ON
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
SET LINESIZE 32000
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET TERMOUT OFF
SET ECHO OFF
SET COLSEP ''
spool /a/b/rvibap/c/&1..sql
prompt SET COLSEP ,
select build_select(&1) from dual;
spool off;
spool /a/b/rvibap/c/&1..csv
#/a/b/rvibap/c/&1
spool off;
Hope it helps.

I am trying to export a .csv file (spool file) that has the result set of a very simple query that I am running in Oracle SQL Developer. The spool file generates; however, only the query is displayed (select * FROM TABLE) with no result set. What am i doing wrong? The command I am using is as follows:
spool "C:\Temp\test.csv"
select * from table;
spool off;
Thanks in advance
Use below commands to get the output of the query in spool file
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET ECHO ON
After executing the select query don't forget to spool off.
So i did some more research / experimenting and i found that the following works:
I first created a sql file with the appropriate sql script /command and placed it in a directory (C:\TEMP). Then i ran the following command:
SET NEWPAGE 0
SET SPACE 0
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET HEADING OFF
set verify off
SET ECHO OFF
spool "c:\Temp\test.csv"
#c:\Temp\test.sql as script(F5);
spool off
However now i run into a road block where oracle throws me an error saying that only 5,000 rows are currently supposed in script results...
Edit: I created the above code as a .sql file (test2.sql) and ran the below script. But am still encountering the 5000 row error:
SET NEWPAGE 0
SET SPACE 0
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET HEADING OFF
set verify off
SET ECHO OFF
spool "c:\Temp\test2.csv"
#c:\Temp\test2.sql as script(F5);
spool off
The following worked when I tried to increase the limit: I went up to my sql developer tool bar ( tools > prefs > database > worksheet) and was able to change the maximum output limit.
I am trying to print query result. Here is the Oracle SQL Script:
set linesize 32767;
set pagesize 0;
set newpage 0;
set space 0;
set echo off;
set feedback off;
set verify off;
set heading off;
set sqlprompt '';
set trimspool on;
set headsep off;
spool C:\asd.tmp
SELECT PROCESSNAME FROM ACTIVEPROCESSLIST ORDER BY PROCESSID;
spool off;
But the content of "asd.tmp" is that:
SELECT PROCESSNAME FROM ACTIVEPROCESSLIST ORDER BY PROCESSID
It prints just query text, not the result of it. How can I spool query results?
NOTE: I am using "sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-x64" and it runned as administrator. Also setting properties given above may be non-sense. I have tried some combinations of them and executing just spool commands without settings.
Any other solution that I can execute in C++ is proper for me too.
you can use command line/sqlplus. try save your script as a file, then in command line:
sqlplus -s [username]/[password]#[sid] #file_path > output.txt
There is an alternative way in that link. I recommend it. It doesn't work as fast as spool solution but it works in my project at least.
There was a problem about the alternative way but the answer in this stackoverflow question works fine. I am using it now.
I am trying to get one file with my user name and passwords for some scripts that I run every day. I have several scripts working now using a batch file that has my user names and passwords.
My Password Batch file looks like this.
parms.bat
Rem Oracle Db
set odbUsername=myUserName
set odbpassword=myPassword
My other scripts call that batch file and get the information ok. I have a couple sql scripts that I also need to use these usernames and passwords. I can't seem to get them to work. But I am fairly new to sqlplus scripting.
My Sql Scripts looks like this.
CONNECT myusername#Oracleddbname/mypassword
SET FEEDBACK OFF;
SET ECHO OFF;
SET TERMOUT OFF;
SET HEADING OFF;
SET PAGESIZE 0;
SET LINESIZE 500;
SET TIMING OFF;
SET TRIMSPOOL ON;
SET COLSEP ',';
SPOOL C:\FileTransfers\MeterData.csv
PROMPT CoopCode,MeterID,DateTime,Value
SELECT DISTINCT
a.coopcode
|| ','
|| a.meterno
|| ','
|| a.readdatetime
|| ','
|| a.usage
FROM temp_reconfigured a, temp_goodsence b
WHERE a.coopcode = b.coopcode AND a.meterno = b.meterno
;
Spool off;
EXIT;
I call this script with a batch file that runs through windows task scheduler.
It looks like this.
sqlplus /nolog #C:\FileTransfers\AutomationScripts\GoodSence\SpoolGoodSenceDataSet.sql
So I would like to pass the user name to the sql from the batch file. I have read several things and tried about 30 and none seem to work. Thank you for your help in advance.
You can pass a parameter this way:
script.sql:
select '&1' from dual;
the call:
D:\>sqlplus user/password#db #d:\script.sql 'value'
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Lun Ott 3 17:02:10 2016

Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production

new 1: select 'value' from dual
'VALU
-----
value
Just typing that out made me think about passing it during the call vs inside the sql to connect. I then edited my SQL and took out the connect statement
So this worked...
echo Get Parameters
call C:\FileTransfers\AutomationScripts\parms.bat
echo %odbUsername%
echo %odbpassword%
sqlplus myusername#oracledb/%odbpassword%#C:\FileTransfers\AutomationScripts\GoodSence\SpoolGoodSenceDataSet.sql
I have one script file called Test.sql in D:\Scripts folder and the content of the file is given below
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET DEFINE OFF
SPOOL Test.log;
SELECT USER_NAME FROM TUP_USER WHERE USER_ID=1432;
SPOOL OFF;
SET DEFINE ON
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFF
I normally execute this by opening command prompt, locate to D:\Scripts and give sqlplus username/password#Database and then give #test.sql to execute this and it will generate a log file called Test.log
Every time I execute this, it replaces the old file with the new data. I need to append new data to the file using spool. Is there a way to do that?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Finally got the solution for this!
Add append after Test.log
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET DEFINE OFF
SPOOL Test.log append;
SELECT USER_NAME FROM TUP_USER WHERE USER_ID=1432;
SPOOL OFF;
SET DEFINE ON
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFF
Just add append when you're writing the spool query:
spool d:\lab1.txt append;
Using SPOOL and PL/SQL in SQL Developer (I must not use SQL Plus via command line) I need to create a file with some info. The problem is that at the end of the file I'm getting 2 blank lines with are causing me trouble when importing this file somewhere else.
Using the next code (called externally to avoid sql statements):
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SET TERMOUT OFF;
SET HEAD OFF;
SET VERIFY OFF;
SET FEEDBACK OFF;
SPOOL 'C:\myfile.csv'
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Hello');
END;
/
SPOOL OFF;
I'm getting:
Hello
(blank line)
(blank line)
I can handle having 0 or 1 blank line, but not 2. I have tried SET TRIMSPOOL ON but SQL Developer skips this command and others too (TRIM, TRIMS, SQLBLANKLINES)
It really does look like it is not possible to remove that extra CRLF in SQL Developer. I can only suggest using SQLPlus which doesn't add that extra CRLF. If you absolutely can't use that, consider using sed to strip that last line.
For any further discussion and to save future readers' time, here are all the options I tried without success:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON TERMOUT OFF HEAD OFF FEEDBACK OFF VERIFY OFF
SET ECHO OFF NEWPAGE NONE PAGESIZE 0 RECSEP OFF --TRIMSPOOL ON
SPOOL 'myfile.txt'
--EXEC DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Hello')
SELECT 'Hello' FROM DUAL;
SPOOL OFF
ED myfile.txt
