You can spool to a tab-delimited file; however, you have to jump through a few hoops. The following will work for VARCHAR2, CHAR, NUMBER, and DATE datatypes. CHR(9) is the ascii code for a Hard Tab. Of course you will have to us SQL-Plus to turn off the headers, etc., that you do not want outputted to the file.:
spool somefiledirectory_and_name
select varchar2_field1||CHR(9)||
TO_CHAR(date_field2, 'MM/DD/YY')||CHR(9)||
TO_CHAR(number_field3,'999999999999990')
from schema.table;
spool off
