Re: Converting Oracle Tables to an Ascii File.

The best way to do this, IMHO, is to use a good report writer i.e. Crystal Reports Pro or even Access ( with a link to the Oracle stuff via ODBC )

The report writer can either export the data ( in multiple formats ) or create a label format report for your type of label ( assuming a somewhat standard Avery-type label ).

This is much easier than spooling sql output due to the intricacies of formatting involved ( one again, the opinion of a lazy person) - the cost will be paid back in time saved.
