Hi,

I'm a bit new to Oracle and SQL and I'm not even sure if this is really the right forum to be posting on but anyway...

I have a form on an HTML page that calls a perl script and this connects to a db and through SQL (oracle 8.0) and retrieves some data from a table. This then gets published on the HTML page. The perl script that I got seems to retrieve each row of the table one at a time with one space in between each field. By the end of the row the columns are all over the place. Is there some way of formatting the table so that the columns line up nicely? Maybe some SQL which would, each time the script connects to the db, format the columns. Anyway, thanks in advance for your time
