Ranganath,
First you have to specify a place where Oracle may write the file. You do
this by setting the UTL_DIR parameter in your init<SID>.ora file. Make
sure that the Oracle user has write permission on the directory(ies) you
specify. You'll need to bounce the DB to have this parameter take effect.
Your code will look something like this(this is for an NT Box):
CREATE or REPLACE .........
AS
CURSOR XXX IS......
vocstu_report utl_file.file_type;
BEGIN
vocstu_report:= utl_file.fopen('F:
\oracle\admin\reports','vocstu_report.txt','W');
(All your processing here)
utl_file.put_line(vocstu_report,
RPAD(v_lastname,25,' ') ||
RPAD(v_firstname,15,' ') ||
RPAD(v_gender,6,' ') ||
RPAD(v_grade,5,' ') ||
RPAD(v_ethniccode,6,' ') ||
RPAD(v_altid1,13,' ') ||
RPAD(v_AGATInd,5,' ') ||
RPAD(v_STXPInd,4,' '));

a select statement to a file through
[EMAIL PROTECTED] stored procedure

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
Dear DBA Gurus,
How do I spool output of a select statement to a file through
stored
procedure. The stored procedure should take the directory and path of the
file to be spooled to on the client machine. I know we can do this using
UTL_FILE package. But I don't want to write to a file in Oracle Database
server machine rather I want to write the output to a file in client
machine. Please note that I want to do this through a Pl/Sql procedure or
a
pl/sql program so that the procedure can be called from the front end which
is Java/C++. How do I do this? Any help in this regard will be duly
appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranganath
