Re: Spooling output of a select statement to a file through stored procedure

I *think* you can do this on the client from Forms with UTL_FILE.

But you're not using forms, which means you can't do what you want in PL/SQL. Anything file creation done from PL/SQL in the database, will write to the filesytem of the database server.

You can't write to the client with server side code, at least not stored procedures. EJB's et al may be a different story; I haven't used them.
