and spool that to a file
Or
(for Microsoft addicts) setup an ODBC datasource to the database,
(3) Try to find out whether SQR (Structured Query Reporwriter) still exists. This is an all purpose report-writer, bit like RPT/RPF (Ugh) but it is very flexible. It comes with a report that generates another report which exports the file to Ascii.

Hi Karsten,
(1) options
just simply select col1||','||col2||','||col3
from table
and spool that to a file
Or
(for Microsoft addicts) setup an ODBC datasource to the database,
hookup Access and export to a text file (This will definitely be faster to develop) Import: use SQL*Loader or the ODBC connection(2) If you want to do that, you need to use the utl_file package. Many posts in this newsgroup discuss utl_file, not because it doesn't work, but because it is a bit user-unfriendly. If spool is sufficient why bother to use utl_file
(3) Try to find out whether SQR (Structured Query Reporwriter) still exists. This is an all purpose report-writer, bit like RPT/RPF (Ugh) but it is very flexible. It comes with a report that generates another report which exports the file to Ascii.
