Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Is there a way to handle commas inside the data when generating a csv file from shell script? Post 303029299 by joeyg on Thursday 24th of January 2019 01:46:35 PM

I think in sqlplus there is a colsep setting.
set colsep |
to set to a | pipe character

you can then do a manual export into Excel, specifying the | as delimiter or
edit(replace) the , to ; and then the | to , --> and you would have a csv file with ; between elements

Otherwise, perhaps format your output inside you SELECT statement.
