The quickest way to export a table to a flat file is probably to use the SQL*Plus SPOOL command. It allows you to record SELECT query result to a text file on the operating system. The following tutorial exercise shows you how control the output format, start the spooler, and dump all record from a table to a flat text file:
>mkdir \oraclexe\test >sqlplus /nolog SQL> connect HR/fyicenter SQL> SET HEADING OFF; SQL> SET FEEDBACK OFF; SQL> SET LINESIZE 1000; SQL> SPOOL \oraclexe\test\employees.txt; SQL> SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES; ...... SQL> SPOOL OFF;
You should get all records in employees.txt with fixed length fields.
