I am trying to output the results of a SQL query to a CSV file using the SPOOL command in Oracle SQL Developer.
I am able to output the results of a trivial query by calling it as a script. Here is the query that worked:
spool trivial_output.csv
select /*csv*/ * from trivial_table;
spool off;
And this is how I successfully called it (F5):
@'C:\Spool to CSV\trivial_query.sql'
However, when I attempt the exact same thing with a slightly more complex query, I get the error message: "SQL Error: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended 00933. 00000 - SQL command not properly ended"
spool total_records.csv
select /*csv*/ enrol.year, enrol.college, count(*) as "Total Records"
from enrolment enrol
inner join regis_status_type regstatus
on enrol.regis_status_type_id = regstatus.regis_status_type_id
where enrol.year in ('201213', '201314')
and regstatus.regis_status_type_code in ('10','41')
group by enrol.year, enrol.college
order by enrol.year, enrol.college
spool off;
I just needed to add a semi-colon to separate the SQL*Plus command from the SQL statement. Thanks to Justin Cave
