This is VERY VERY BAD.

Anyway, did you try UTL_FILE package? (creating file at server side)

  • run the select statement in SQL Developer
  • right-click the result and choose "Export"
  • set output format (such as CSV) as well as other parameters
  • export the result

Sir,

when i'm doing like this for sample 100000 records

1.run the select statement in SQL Developer
2.right-click the result and choose "Export"
3.set output format (such as CSV) as well as other parameters
4.exporting the result

its fetching 100000 records but in file its inserting only around 50000 records.

Thanks and Regards

Maybe yes maybe not, how can we say?
As BlackSwan said: "how can we reproduce what you claim?".
What is your OS (version, service pack, edition, bit)?
What is your file system type (FAT, NTFS...)?
What is the size of the output file you got?
...

Regards
Michel

Huh! SQL Developer 1.2.1?!? Maybe you should upgrade to the recent version (which is 3.2.2 at the moment). Your problems might automagically disappear.

Also, which Excel version do you use? Are you aware of restriction of number of records per sheet in older MS Excel versions (only 64K of records)?

Excel version is OK, so I'd go with SQL Developer upgrade.

I don't know what will it look like; normally, I'd expect upgraded version to retain previous version's settings. However, your version is much lower than the one you'd upgrade to, so ... no idea. Google a little bit, maybe you'll find the answer. Or, wait some more - someone here might know better.
