Re: How to dump tables to text file from SQLPLUS

No there isn't
You could of course always do something like this set colsep '|'
set heading off
set pagesize 0
spool tab.out
select *
from table;
spool off

or use toad, toal for oracle application developers, (www.toadsoft.com) to accomplish this task.
