Java Its not the desired output :
Suppose the select query from the sql session is like that :
Code:
 
SQL > select a, b,c from table;

Now, if I am assigning this to a variable named VAR, then it will be like this :

VAR = a b c

My question was :

How do I for mat the above value into following :
'a','b','c',

If this is your input VAR="a b c" (there should be no space surrounding = when assigning to variables)then
Code:
echo $VAR| sed "s/\(.\) */'\1',/g" # note there is a space before *

If it is oracle then you can use concatenation operator ||

Code:
select ''''||a||''',' , ''''||b||''',' ''''||c||''',' from table;
