Bill,
The version 8 PL/SQL manual states:
Messages sent using the DBMS_OUTPUT are not actually sent until the sending
subprogram or trigger completes. There is no mechanism to flush output
during the execution of a procedure.
You may want to try using the file i/o facility provided by the UTL_FILE
package - not as convenient, but should handle all of your table. Maybe use
DBMS_OUTPUT to indicate when file has been written?
