one way
Code:
echo "
set pages 0
set linesize 1000
set feedback off
spool xyz.lis
select * from abc;
spool off 
exit
" | sqlplus -s username/password@oracledb

You have to adjust the set linesize value to what matches the width of a table row.

A slight modification to Jim's reply as the password should NOT be visible on the command prompt:

Code:
CONNECT_STRING=username/password@sid
sqlplus -s /nolog << EOF
conn ${CONNECT_STRING}
spool flatfile.txt
select * from tablename;
spool off
EOF

HTH, Smilie

Regards,

Praveen
