I'm accessing an oracle database remotely and I need to redirect results to a local csv file. I'm setting some options, a simple sql query statement and finally I redirect to a local file.
Based on this link and this I did that:
./sqlplus user/password#host:1521/SID <<< "SET PAGESIZE 40000 FEEDBACK OFF MARKUP HTML ON select * from mytable where ROWNUM <= 10" >> test_file.xls
Doing that I get this Oracle error: SP2-0158: unknown SET option "select". The error is self explanatory. I know I need these set statements to format my output. Removing SET statement works fine but output.
To output, I don't insert SPOOL statement because the file will be generated on remote machine.
What do I need to do to get results to my local file?
Try that:
./sqlplus user/password#host:1521/SID <<EOF >> test_file.xls
SET PAGESIZE 40000 FEEDBACK OFF MARKUP HTML ON
select * from mytable where ROWNUM <= 10;
exit
EOF

I'm trying to run a shell script that has a SQL query in it. Now, I can't use a SQL script in the shell script because of story requirements. I have been trying to get the shell script to return the correct count which is '6' but it is only returning '0'.
#!/bin/ksh
. /apps/path/config/setenv.ksh
DATE=`date "+%m%d%Y`
returnMessage="`sqlplus username/password#$ORACLE_SID << EOF
WHENEVER OSERROR EXIT SQL.OSCODE ;
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT SQL.OSCODE ;
spool /apps/path/data/test.txt
SET HEADING OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET VERIFY OFF
SET ECHO ON
SET PAGES 0
SET LINESIZE 90
select count(*) from table where dt = to_date('06/18/2020','MM/DD/YYYY');
EOF
`
"
exitCode=$?
oracleError=`echo "$returnMessage" | grep ORA-`
if [ -n "$oracleError" -o "$exitCode" -ne 0 ]; then
log "An error occurred while looking up the $COUNT"
log "SQLPlus Exit Code = $exitCode"
log "SQLPlus Message is: $returnMessage"
return 1
fi
export COUNT=`echo $returnMessage"
return 0
The output is also given below
SQL> SET HEADING OFF
SQL> SET FEEDBACK OFF
SQL> SET VERIFY OFF
SQL> SET ECHO ON
SQL> SET PAGES 0
SQL> SET LINESIZE 90
SQL>
SQL> select count(*) from table where dt = to_date('06/18/2020','MM/DD/YYYY');

THis is the output and the code I'm using. Not sure where it is going wrong since the query should return 6;
UnCOMMITted data is only visible within the session that created it (and will ROLLBACK at the end of the session if it has not been COMMITted). If you can't see the data from another session (i.e. in SQL*Plus invoked from the shell) then make sure you have issued a COMMIT command in the SQL client where you INSERTed the data.
Note: even if you connect as the same user, this will create a separate session and you will not be able to see the uncommitted data in the other session.
If you have issued a COMMIT and still can't see the data then make sure that both the SQL Client and the shell program are connecting to the same server and the same database and are querying the same user's schema of that database.
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 creating a shell script where I have saved entries from a text file into an array. Those values are properly stored and show the correct contents. One of those entries contains a simple query and I want to pass it to a sql file. With that sql query I want to save the results into a text file.
Here is the part of the code that calls the sql file to run the sql script
PURGE_SITES=purge_site.txt
logmsg "USERID - $PURGES_SITE" n
QUERY=${Unix_Array[4]}
echo $QUERY
sqlplus -s $USER/$PASS <<EndSQL
#purges_sites.sql $PURGE_SITES '$QUERY'
EXIT SQL.SQLCODE
EndSQL
for now query stored in ${Unix_Array[4]} is "select -1 from dual"
Here is the file contents of the .sql file
set echo off ver off feed off pages 0
accept fname prompt 'Loading Sites...'
spool &1;
&2
/
spool off
It gives me error and reads &2 as "&2" instead of the query saved in the variable. However when i edit the .sql file and add something beforehand, it will display the correct data from the variable.
Here is the output
select -1 from dual
File Name===> results.txt
select -1 from dual
Loading Sites...SP2-0042: unknown command "&2" - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0103: Nothing in SQL buffer to run.
Here is the output if I add something before &2.
select -1 from dual
File Name===> results.txt
select -1 from dual
Loading Sites...select * from table_table select -1 from dual
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
I typed in select * from table_table before &2.
So its actually retrieving the value from the variable but something needs to come beforehand in order to pass correctly.
Is there a system execute command in oracle that will execute a query? &2 just by itself is not allowed.
Wont this help you?
PURGE_SITES=purge_site.txt
logmsg "USERID - $PURGES_SITE" n
QUERY=${Unix_Array[4]}
echo $QUERY
# FRAME YOUR QUERY, PROMPTING USER IN SHELL ITSELF AND SEND TO SQLPLUS DIRECTLY
# BEWARE SQL INJECTION POSSIBLE
# YOU CAN REDIRECT THE SQLPLUS OUTPUT TO A FILE LIKE THIS, NO SPOOL NEEDED
sqlplus -s $USER/$PASS <<EndSQL >> $OUTPUT_FILE
set echo off ver off feed off pages 0
$QUERY
/
EXIT SQL.SQLCODE
EndSQL
I tried
select * from users
save D:\test.sql create;
But SQL plus gives me "no proper ended"
How to specify path in oracle sql in windows?
Use the spool:
spool myoutputfile.txt
select * from users;
spool off;
Note that this will create myoutputfile.txt in the directory from which you ran SQL*Plus.
If you need to run this from a SQL file (e.g., "tmp.sql") when SQLPlus starts up and output to a file named "output.txt":
tmp.sql:
select * from users;
Command:
sqlplus -s username/password#sid #tmp.sql > output.txt
Mind you, I don't have an Oracle instance in front of me right now, so you might need to do some of your own work to debug what I've written from memory.
Very similar to Marc, only difference I would make would be to spool to a parameter like so:
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT 1
SET LINES 32000
SET TERMOUT OFF ECHO OFF NEWP 0 SPA 0 PAGES 0 FEED OFF HEAD OFF TRIMS ON TAB OFF
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
spool &1
-- Code
spool off
exit
And then to call the SQLPLUS as
sqlplus -s username/password#sid #tmp.sql /tmp/output.txt
spool "D:\test\test.txt"
select
a.ename
from
employee a
inner join department b
on
(
a.dept_id = b.dept_id
)
;
spool off
This query will spool the sql result in D:\test\test.txt
just to make the Answer 2 much easier, you can also define the folder where you can put your saved file
spool /home/admin/myoutputfile.txt
select * from table_name;
spool off;
after that only with nano or vi myoutputfile.txt, you will see all the sql track.
hope is that help :)
Having the same chore on windows 10, and windows server 2012.
I found the following solution:
echo quit |sqlplus schemaName/schemaPassword#sid #plsqlScript.sql > outputFile.log
Explanation
echo quit | send the quit command to exit sqlplus after the script completes
sqlplus schemaName/schemaPassword#sid #plsqlScript.sql execute plssql script plsqlScript.sql in schema schemaName with password schemaPassword connecting to SID sid
> outputFile.log redirect sqlplus output to log file outputFile.log
I am using Solaris. I have to log into sql plus and run some queries, which give a huge result set.
I want to copy all that into a file. Is there any command for it in unix or sqlplus ?
Use the SPOOL command:
SQL> SPOOL /opt/output
SQL> SELECT ...
SQL> SPOOL OFF
setup Oracle environment
(there are ways around specifying username/password on the command line - not the best way especially when other users can 'ps' on the server and see your password)
sqlplus -s username/password <<-!!
set trimspool on trimout on pages 0 feedback off linesize 1000 echo off verify off
spool file.out
select sysdate from dual;
exit
!!
If you are on the command line then just use the > and 2> to redirect stdout and stderr respectively to log files
func > out.log
