Below is the script which is actually contain nothing only the query.

Operating system :SUNOS/Solaris
Database : oracle

Current script giving me the correct but inform of data , not inform of record/table/excel.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
sqlplus -s /nolog << EOF 
CONNECT test/test@IP

alter session set nls_date_format= 'DD-MON-YYYY';
SELECT TO_CHAR(C.PVR_ACY_START_DTM_UTC+8/24,'DD-MM-YYYY'),D.CURR_EMP_NO,D.LST_NM,D.FST_NM,D.DOJ_EMP,C.VTP_CD,A.VPA_CD,B.DESC_TXT FROM HFG_ACYS A,VMX_USER.JDS_EMP_PLX_TYPES B,EMP E,EMP1 D
And C.Dtd_asdb_Start_Dtm_Utc+8/24 <= Sysdate + 1
(fdmf_ACY_END_DTM_UTC+8/24,'DD-MM-YYYY');


end;
/
EOF

You can create tab separated files from within sqlplus using the spool functionality e.g.:


Code:
sqlplus -s ${YOUR CONNECTION NAME}

set linesize 500
set trimspool on
set verify off
set termout off
set echo off
set feedback off
set heading off
set pagesize 0

DEFINE DELIMITER='${TAB_SPACE}'
spool filename.tsv
<YOUR QUERY GOES HERE>
spool off;
exit;

The tsv file can be opened in excel as normal.

Riverstone was also using the names ajju and dani1234 to avoid infraction limits. The latter two names have been banned.

Mr.Don,

Instead of simply banning ,cant you have courtesy to ask what is the reason for having multiple Id ?

Hi Colshine,
tried your steps , but data is coming in flat file with spaces,expecting the data in excel format or with comma seperated values.

The spaces are actually tabs - excel recognises tabs as a valid delimiter and will use them to split the data into columns.

To create a csv file you just need to change the DEFINE DELIMITER parameter to comma and update the filename to csv.

The rest is fine as it is.

Google instructions on how to import a tab delimited file into excel - you just need to tell excel the type of file and it will do the rest.
