I want to create a flat file (text file) of my query from Oracle SQL Developer.
I have successfully created the text file using SPOOL, thru a script text file, but i want to remove the header of each column into my output.
I am getting this output:
Header000001 Header000002 ------------ ------------ Adetail1 Bdetail1 Adetail2 Bdetail2 Adetail3 Bdetail3
But, I want to get this output:
Adetail1Bdetail1 Adetail2Bdetail2 Adetail3Bdetail3
I already tried the command "set heading off", but a message says:
"SQLPLUS COMMAND Skipped: set heading off".
These are the inputs I've issued:
spool on;
spool C:\SQLFiles\PSB_ATMLKP.txt;
set newpage 0;
set echo off;
set feedback off;
set heading off;
select terminal_number, terminal_name from terminal_table;
spool off;
SQLPLUS COMMAND Skipped: set heading off
That message is most likely because you are not executing it through SQL*Plus
, but some GUI based tool. You are using SQLPlus command in SQL Developer. Not all SQL*Plus commands are guaranteed to work with SQL Developer.
I would suggest you execute the script in SQLPlus and you would see no issues.
You need:
SET HEADING OFF
This will not include the column headers in the output.
Alternatively, you could also do this:
SET PAGESIZE 0
Using SQL Developer Version 3.2.20.10:
spool ON
spool D:\test.txt
SET heading OFF
SELECT ename FROM emp;
spool off
Spool file got created with no issues:
> set heading OFF
> SELECT ename FROM emp
