• How to format the sql format GET easily in sqlplus

  Hello
  I use TOAD to format my sql always (to help shift + ctrl + F). It's really frustrating because I have to format the sqls a lot all the time. I have recently joined a successful dba team and need to quickly understand the sqls.
  
  A member of the forum can you please suggest me a way to do it quickly in sqlplus itself?
  
  Thanks & take care,.

  SQL * Plus is not an editor does not support formatting of unformatted existing SQL code. It uses an external editor - and formatting you want to, must be a function or feature of the external editor. The Unix/Linux default editor is vi or vim. Emacs, kate and others can also be configured (using the EDITOR environment variable) for use with SQL * more.

  Formatting manual is often a 'good' thing that it forces you to slow down and look at each line (when the manual formatting) in the code. So they identify issues and problems that could be missed when looking at already formatted code.

  Is - it somehow possible?

  Yes put all definitions of column in a single file, you say coldef.sql

  Whenever you need to use it in a script that is run with the help

• Csv output SQLCL differs from output csv SQLPLUS

  Hello

  I try to replace my script sqlplus generating a csv file.

  with a new one generated by sqlcl because sqlcl seem to handle it "natively".

  However, I have several problems, it's not so easy... (it is not possible, in fact, as a replacement for sqlplus by sqlcl to generate a csv file)

  There are several differences with the release made with my script in sqlplus. Let me explain

  NB: Please note I'm french therefore:

  * default csv separator is; (but I could accept this separator is)

  * decimal separator is ",".

  SQLCL CSV output

  < blank line >

  "SYSDATE", "TRUNC (SYSDATE)", "TO_CHAR (SYSDATE," DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS) ',' LENGTH' "

  --------

  You can see in the output of SQL CL

  * an empty line first (?)

  * the fields sysdate is followed, 0000000, which breaks the structure of the csv file. Don't know why this is displayed.

  * value sysdate is fine (date + hour) in sqlcl, trunc (sysdate) should not display the time (minor)

  * in sqlplus then I've not used instructions ALTER SESSION SET NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ",".

  digital data are 6.07 (whereas it should be 6.07, and default sqlplus output. (In sqlplus to 6.07, I need to put the NLS_NUMERIC statement above))

  * in sqlplus, only char data are placed in square brackets. In my case it would be necessary to have each data attached to make sure that imposing CSV is safe.

  If too many problems, I can't currently use sqlcl to generate a csv result...

  Don (don't know if this is the place to talk about SQL imporvement, , but it would be great if the sqlcl could be improved: )

  * the date of issue (000000) would be fixed (unless there is a solution?)

  * Digital output default must be with '.'. And after having the opportunity to change the decimal separator, as in SQLPLUS

  * We wouldn't abilty to choose whether the data should be included or not in the media (even for digital data / date)

  * We would be able to change the csv separator

  * no first blank line ould generated (minor)

  Thanks for any suggestions you could provide, because at the moment, I can't use sqlcl to the output in csv format, although it has very promising output features

  > We are working on support for that now.

  What I wanted, it was, it does not work in the latest version available, but work soon.

• NLS_DATE_FORMAT in PLSQL Developer differ from sqlplus

  Hello

  When you set the nls_date_format sqlplus at the session level, the results are as expected.

  Whereas, when you set the second level nls_date_format in PL/SQl developer, output the same format in both cases.

  

  help kindly on even...

  Thank you to make clear... just ask out of curiosity, is possible for my session I modified my NLS_DATE_FORMAT and always the system reflecting the NLS_DATE_FORMAT substituted by the client software...

  Means for my session how is it possible that without good privileges Client software replaces the format...

  Why do you think that the output that you see in a GUI such as PLSQL Developer is determined by NLS session parameters? When the result set contains a date, then the proponent of the product is free to decide if it is displayed after the session or some settings settings in the tool preferences.

  SELECT SYSDATE FROM dual;

  ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD ";

  SELECT SYSDATE FROM dual;

  When I run the present into a toad, I get two different formats for the last statement in the manner which I run it:

  F9 (run the statement): 10:26:08 09/01/2015

  F5 (Exceute as a script): 2015-09-01

  If the toad ignores the parameter when the developer thought that I don't know what I really want.

  The same executions in SQL Developer shows 2015-09-01 both times. Here, the designer would think "Hey the user is a developer, that he or she will know what to do" or the designer has not thought to the problem and simply used the session settings.

• Get the domain FULL of SQLPLUS connect_identifier

  Hello!  I'm all new to Oracle.  I have a previous developer files that contain SQLPLUS commands.  I noticed that the format of the CONNECT subcommand is:

  username/password[@connect_identifier]

  I have something like:

  SQLPLUS foo/bar@fum

  What should I do to solve the 'MED' connect_identifier to a fully qualified domain name?

  Look in your tnsnames.ora file, or do a 'WUF tnsping"("fum"seems to be your login).

• Export to HTML format with text "preformatted"?

  Hello

  I have a column varchar2 with contains carriage returns.  I want to run my query in SQL Developer and 'export' the results in HTML format.  But when I do, the data in the column lost things like several spaces and returns the cart.  That's why I want to mainly export the column with the < PRE >... < / PRE > html tags.  Any way to do this from SQL Developer?

  Example of table in sqlplus:

  SQL> create table my_demo (MY_TEXT varchar2(255));
  
  Table created.
  
  SQL> insert into my_demo values ('Hello'||CHR(10)||'   World');
  
  1 row created.
  
  SQL> select * from my_demo;
  
  MY_TEXT
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  Hello
     World
  
  
  SQL> 
  

  So what I want is the MY_TEXT column in the HTML export file to show the world "Hello" above indented it word 'World', just like we see in SQLPlus (my actual query is obviously much more complex).  If I try to select the column with string literals '< PRE >' and ' < / PRE > ' around the column MY_TEXT it does not work and indicates those string and not as HTML tags.

  In SQL, we can use "COLUMN".... ENTMAP OFF"- but who does not work in SQL Developer.  Similarly, I don't see how the / * fixed * / index of the SQL Developer will help me.

  Suggestions?  An option may be missing me?

  Thank you.

  I suppose the best solution that I could do was modify the query for:

  Select '

  '||my_text||'

  "from my_demo;

  Then export it to HTML format.  Then open it with my favorite text editor and make the following replacements:

  < PRE >--->

  
  </PRE>    --->    

  Save my raw HTML code after manually making the substitution with the text editor and now I have the registered page displays properly as I want it.

  While work work - around, I was just hoping that there was a better solution that does not need me manually change the HTML in a text editor.

• How to get sqlplus not to use the output of size documents fixed?

  I want to generate the sql code to clear all data in tables in the database of flat files, one file per table, one row per record.  I thought I'd try to use the ascii code for characters inherited 31 as a delimiter to separate the fields and start sqlplus. But a problem is how do you get to specify linesize? Are there not a way to get out of creating fixed size records in sqlplus? I would prefer each line to just be so great that it must be rather than set the linesize being the absolute maximum. (32767) or understand what the maximum size is on a per-table basis.

  Is it possible to do?

  What I've tried so far (so I would have executed him each resulting sort script d30_x.) OK but how to get rid of this thing linesize?

  /
  from guest & tab
  Guest /.

  prompt off spool
  spool off

  Wait, I think it works!  Tell him to use the maximum linesize, then

  tell him to get rid of these spaces.

  OOPS I forgot something. A problem with this is that if there are embedded newlines \r \n one of those or both in a field, then this format that uses the newline to indicate the end of the recording is toast. And I know that they are inclined to do this. (Users can not live with them, can't live without 'em). More on that later.

  Thank you.

  Checkpoint_change # is probably a number with more digits that you specified in the format.  You must specify a larger format (more numbers). Note: There is zero decimals, so you don't need to specify decimals.

  In sqlplus, you can also generically set numwdith 'N NUMLARGEUR SET' - for example "SET NUMLARGEUR 32" to allow up to 32 digits digital display.  Then, you need not specify a format for the column.
