Anyone could tell me how to display the column that occupied a whole line?
form example :
select empno, ename from emp;

expected result should be:
1111
name one
1112
name two
....
Any suggestions? Thanks

You can write:
"set linesize 15"
The number can be changed according the needs.

however, if the the length of columns is quite different. I think the sate linesize will not work. Any other suggestions?

in SQL*Plus

set linesize 80;
column empno format a80;

select to_char(empno), ename from emp;

or (using the max numeric format)

column empno format 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
select empno, ename from emp;
