what is the use of SPOOL COMMAND
Dec 31 '06 #1

spool is a way to record the output of the activity done after the spool command
It generates a file which shows the activities and their results

There are various uses of the spool command. You can spool out to a file , then use normal SQL to get small reports with some formatting. For example
SQL> Spool /ora/spool.txt
SQL> select "List of employees drawing more than Rs 10000" from dual;
SQL> select EmpNo,Name from Emp where Salary > 10000;
SQL> spool off;

vi the spool.txt file and delete the "select" lines and hey ! u have a report ready.

A more practical use will be during database development when u are piping in a large amount of data and you need to disable some triggers. Experiment !!!
