generate excel file using cursor in anonymous block in oracle

user12251389Sep 3 2017 — edited Sep 4 2017

I have below anonymous block where i am using cursor to generate the resultset and save it into TEST_REPORT.csv file. But i am getting error on the line where i am using spool as:

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "H" when expecting one of the following:

   := . ( @ % ;

I believe i cannot use spool in PL/SQL but not sure so i have tried below code. And also i cannot use UTL_FILE or UTL_FILE_DIR logic because of security restriction on the Production.  As employees works on different department i want to generate separate csv file for each employee with respect to their department.

Is there anyway where i can break this code and use spool to generate csv file or any other logic ? Also if it is not possible to use spool in anonymous block then can i use it during execution of this code to generate files ?

If its not possible using spool then is it possible if i can organize my query result in such a way that it will be easy to export the result into single csv file after executing this anonymous block and then i can separate the single csv file into multiple files depending on the employee with their department manually ?

DECLARE

  a      varchar2(100);

  b      varchar2(100);

  c      varchar2(100);

 

CURSOR c1

      IS

select 'id'         ||','||

       'department_name'         ||','||

       'employee'                 

result from dual

union all

select id    ||','||

       department_name    ||','||

       employee     

from EMPLYOEE_MARKET;

BEGIN

  OPEN c1;

  LOOP

  spool H:\TEST_REPORT.csv  ;

    FETCH c1

     INTO a, b, c;

    EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;

   spool off;

  END LOOP;

  CLOSE c1;

END;
