Hello Everyone
I will be grateful for your advice on how to accomplish the above. I have a table that contain multiple dates in a column. So select distinct date on this column looks like this
27/05/2020
28/05/2020
29/05/2020

I want to loop round this table and create a record as .csv attachment for every date, so in this case it will be 3 attachments.
I attach my code here. The problem am having is that it continue to print all date records in one attachment as opposed to creating different attachments.

I have been advised that this can only be achieved if I put the loop outside of this script and then spool one file per date. Please can you point me in the right direction.

Many thanks for your advice.

WHEN OTHERS

Write a script which will dynamically generates a script to generate each file.
Something like:

-- set termout off 
set heading off feedback off
spool t.sql
select 'set heading on echo on
spool job_'||job||'.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='''||job||''';'||'
spool off'
from emp
group by job
/
spool off
@t

which gives:

SQL> @script
set heading on echo on
spool job_CLERK.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='CLERK';
spool off
set heading on echo on
spool job_SALESMAN.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='SALESMAN';
spool off
set heading on echo on
spool job_PRESIDENT.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='PRESIDENT';
spool off
set heading on echo on
spool job_MANAGER.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='MANAGER';
spool off
set heading on echo on
spool job_ANALYST.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='ANALYST';
spool off
SQL> spool job_CLERK.csv
SQL> select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='CLERK';
     EMPNO ENAME             SAL
---------- ---------- ----------
      7369 SMITH             800
      7876 ADAMS            1100
      7900 JAMES             950
      7934 MILLER           1300
SQL> spool off
SQL> set heading on echo on
SQL> spool job_SALESMAN.csv
SQL> select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='SALESMAN';
     EMPNO ENAME             SAL
---------- ---------- ----------
      7499 ALLEN            1600
      7521 WARD             1250
      7654 MARTIN           1250
      7844 TURNER           1500
SQL> spool off
SQL> set heading on echo on
SQL> spool job_PRESIDENT.csv
SQL> select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='PRESIDENT';
     EMPNO ENAME             SAL
---------- ---------- ----------
      7839 KING             5000
SQL> spool off
SQL> set heading on echo on
SQL> spool job_MANAGER.csv
SQL> select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='MANAGER';
     EMPNO ENAME             SAL
---------- ---------- ----------
      7566 JONES            2975
      7698 BLAKE            2850
      7782 CLARK            2450
SQL> spool off
SQL> set heading on echo on
SQL> spool job_ANALYST.csv
SQL> select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='ANALYST';
     EMPNO ENAME             SAL
---------- ---------- ----------
      7788 SCOTT            3000
      7902 FORD             3000
SQL> spool off

using the temporary generated script:

SQL> host type t.sql
set heading on echo on
spool job_CLERK.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='CLERK';
spool off
set heading on echo on
spool job_SALESMAN.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='SALESMAN';
spool off
set heading on echo on
spool job_PRESIDENT.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='PRESIDENT';
spool off
set heading on echo on
spool job_MANAGER.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='MANAGER';
spool off
set heading on echo on
spool job_ANALYST.csv
select empno, ename, sal from emp where job='ANALYST';
spool off

In real case remove the "echo on" I put just to show you what happens and activate the "set termout off" I commented.
