So you're saying:

Code:
select * from tablename;

does return the data you need in sqlplus? But issuing the SPOOL command before the select statement, is not collecting that data into the specified file.

Did you try using the SPOOL command then issuing the select statement in SQLPLUS then turn the SPOOL OFF and look for the file? (i.e. do everything inside SQLPLUS not just the select statement).

It's puzzling, because your command looks correct, though, I would set your linesize and pagesize before turning on the SPOOL command otherwise you would see those commands in the output, assuming you get output to the file.

Does the underlying OS user have write privileges to where you are tyring to write the file? I'd assume you'd get an error if you didn't, but it's worth checking. Assuming the OS user is 'oracle' you should have write privileges to an /app/oracle ... directory structure, but maybe you've logged on under your own login and you don't. If you're using your own OS login, try spooling it to your own home directory.

capture-schema(1m)					    Application Server Utility						capture-schema(1m)

NAME
capture-schema - stores the database metadata (schema) in a file for use in mapping and execution SYNOPSIS
capture-schema-dburl url-username name- password password-driver a_jdbc_driver [-schemaname name] [-table tablename]* [-out filename] Stores the database metadata (schema) in a file. You can also use the Sun Java System Studio IDE to capture the database schema. Run cap- ture-schema as the same database user that owns the tables, so that the -username and -schemaname options are given the same username. Additionally, you can grant the database user running the capture-schema command the ANALYZE ANY TABLE privilege. OPTIONS
-dburl JDBC URL expected by the driver for accessing a database. -username user name for authenticating access to a database. -password password for accessing the selected database. -driver JDBC driver classname in your CLASSPATH. -schemaname name of the user schema being captured. If not specified, the default will capture metadata for all tables from all the schemas accessible to this user. Specifying this parameter is highly recommended. If more than one schema is accessible to this user, more than one table with the same name may be captured which will cause problems. -table name of the table; multiple table names can be specified. -out output target; defaults to stdout. This parameter corresponds to the schema sub-element of the sun-cmp-mapping ele- ment in the sun-cmp-mapping_1_1.dtd file. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using capture-schema capture-schema -dburl jdbc:oracle:thin:@sadbuttrue:1521:ora817 -schemaname cantiflas -username CANTIFLAS -password enigma -driver oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver asadmin(1M) Sun Java System Application Server March 2004 capture-schema(1m)
