More details, please. Like script behaviour, execution logs, undesired results, error messages, what have you. It's difficult to base an analysis on thin air... and we have nothing.



Might be worthwhile to clarify some wording in your request: You're using "export" in various contexts which may become quite confusing if not sharply discriminated. "[Ee]xport" is
- a keyword in bash (and other shells) for the "export" attribute to variables and functions "marking it for export to child processes" (man bash).
- a term in ORACLE (and other DB) context to create a backup / copy of a database and/or its tables and meta data. Fortunately, the respective SQL command is "exp".
- a variable in your code snippet above.
- used in your description for an action that doesn't necessarily comply with what you're showing in your snippet.


Now to your script. You don't show it, but I guess you should have received an SQL error message telling you it doesn't understand the "export" command. Well, it doesn't as that is a shell command that sql can't interpret and thus ignores or, worse, crashes on. The latter may be the reason why there is only one table in the spool file. The second table should be in the file if the wrong command were simply ignored.

You'd need to define the various file variables upfront, and then switch the SPOOLing from one to the next in sql.
BTW, the Export variable will be empty in above script as the space after the = will assign it such, and then bash will try to interpret / run the result of the sqlplus "command substitution", and error out on that (presumably).

AMC-EXPORT(1)						       Auto Multiple Choice						     AMC-EXPORT(1)

NAME
AMC-export - exports marks for AMC multiple choice exams. SYNOPSIS
auto-multiple-choice export --data project-data-dir --module module --fich-noms students-list.csv [--noms-encodage list-encoding] --o output-file DESCRIPTION
The AMC-export.pl command exports marks from an Auto Multiple Choice exam. --data project-data-dir gives the directory where data files are (see for example AMC-prepare(1)). --module module selects a module for export. See below for the modules included in the AMC standard distribution. --fich-noms students-list.csv sets the students list file. --noms-encodage list-encoding selects an encoding for file students-list.csv (default is utf-8). --o output-file gives the output file name. --option-out options gives an option for selected module, in the form key=value (see below for possible options for each module). To specify multiple options, use --option several times. --sort sort-type sort the students names, depending on sort-type. If sort-type is l, use line number from students list file to sort. If sort-type is m, use mark (and name if marks are equal) to sort. If sort-type is i, use student number to sort. If sort-type is n, use name to sort (or line from students list if equal). --useall all if all is 0 or empty, only students with a scaned answer sheet appears in the output. If all is 1, all students in the students list appears in the output. MODULES
OpenDocument With "--module ods", an OpenDocument (for use by OpenOffice or LibreOffice for example) is produced. The following options are recognized: nom gives a name for the exam, to be written on the beginning of the sheet. code gives an short name for the exam, to be used as a tab name. columns sets the list of columns that are to be added to each student. Default value is student.key,student.name. stats with a true value, a table will be added with statistics for all questions. statsindic with a true value, a table will be added with statistics for all indicative questions. CSV With "--module CSV", a CSV file is produced. The following options are recognized: columns sets the list of columns that are to be added to each student. Default value is student.copy,student.key,student.name. decimal sets the decimal point (default is a dot). encodage sets the encoding to use for output (default is utf-8). separateur sets the character used between colums (default is a comma). entoure sets the character used to enclose strings (default is a double quote). ticked if not empty, additional columns (with "CHECKED:" prefix) are included to give all the checked boxes on all the sheets. This can be used by an external program to retrieve all the checked boxes when marks are not sufficient. Use value 01 to get 0;0;1;1;0 if boxes 3 and 4 are checked, and value AB to get CD if boxes 3 and 4 are checked. List With "--module List", a PDF file is produced with a list of marks for all students. The following options are recognized: pagesize The page size. Default value is a4. nom gives the name of the exam, to be printed at the top of the page. ncols The number of columns. Default value is 2. decimal sets the decimal point (default is a dot). AUTHORS
