Normally, when you run a SELECT statement in SQL*Plus, the output will be displayed on your screen. If you want the output to be saved to local file, you can use the "SPOOL fileName" command to specify a local file and start the spooling feature. When you are done with your SELECT statement, you need to close the spool file with the "SPOOL OFF" command. The following tutorial exercise gives you a good example:
SQL> connect HR/retneciyf SQL> SET HEADING OFF SQL> SET FEEDBACK OFF SQL> SET LINESIZE 1000 SQL> SPOOL \temp\employees.lst SQL> SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES; ...... SQL> SPOOL OFF
You should get all records in employees.lst with fixed length fields.
