spool is something like capturing . for example

before running any sql statement or scripts you can spool it like

SQL> spool balaji.log
SQL>
SQL> delete from tablename where columnname='raja'
1 row deleted

SQL> delete from tablename where columnname='sita'

1 row delete

spool off

if you are running any long scripts (delete,insert,update) you can perform spool and and then run the scripts which will be useful for identifying any errors if occured.

To view your log check it in your oracle home directory.
