spool old and new values in SQL

4 New Member
Hi,
I am running an sql script in oracle to spool a csv file.
I am using the following set up:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Define name='JOE'
  2. spool names.txt
  3. set linesize 200
  4. set pagesize 50000
  5. set heading off
  6. set termout off
  7. Select 'Names' from dual;
  8. select '&Name'  from user1;
  9. select surname from user1;
  10. SPOOL OFF;
  11.  
Which gives me the following:
Names

old 1: select '&Name' from user1
new 1: select 'JOE' from user1

JOE
Bloggs


It is giving me the correct values but i dont want the lines that have the old and new value. i also want to get rid of the space between Names and Joe.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I dont know if you can turn those off in sql plus.

Have you looked at using UTL_FILE to make your CSV?

Just in case anyone reads this, the set linesize 0 gets rid of the blank lines!

What causes the query optimizer to choose a table spool\lazy spool action in the execution plan? The explanation of "optimize rewinds" makes little sense because my query never comes back to that table. I'm going to have to change the query but it would be helpful if I knew what I should be trying to avoid. David

Greetings, In Google I am finding what the deffinition of a table spool operator is but not what it is doing to performance. The execution plan shows the output of a clustered Index scan (54 records) going into the Table Spool operator and having a output of 218,000 records out. Where do the 218,000 records come from??

Our application is having an issue where a query in a stored procedure periodically gets a bad plan with a Lazy Spool Operator that changes the query execution time from 5ms to 900ms and kills our CPU. We are running x64 SQL 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 SP2. We thought it might be parameter sniffing that was causing the bad plan, so we re-wrote the query to disable parameter sniffing. Unfortunately, that made the problem worse as we always...
