How do I spool to a CSV formatted file using SQLPLUS?

Question

I want to extract some queries to a CSV output format. Unfortunately, I can\'t use any fancy SQL client or any language to do it. I must use SQLPLUS.

How do I do it?

Answer 1

You could use csv hint. See the following example:

select /*csv*/ table_name, tablespace_name
from all_tables
where owner = 'SYS'
and tablespace_name is not null;
