Oracle SQL Developer Spooling Issues

3150349Jan 7 2016 — edited Jan 14 2016

Good Afternoon,

I recently updated to version 4.1.3.20 and have been having issues spooling since. I run a series of scripts that have not changed, that save data to a csv file on a shared network. When I run the scripts now I get this error: SP2-0768: Illegal SPOOL command.

I have been able to successfully spool by changing the directory to my c drive instead of my work's shared drive, but the file is not usable. It either comes out blank or broken up into sections of no more than 15 rows. Here is an example of the output:

COUNTY       AGENCY                           Index Crimes Reported in 2014  % of County Total 
Westchester  Agency 1             94                             .8%               
Westchester  Agency 2                     58                             .5%               
Westchester  Agency 3         89                             .7%               
Westchester  Agency 4             130                            1.1%              
Westchester  Agency 5         61                             .5%               
Westchester  Agency 6             92                             .8%               
Westchester  Agency 7              47                             .4%               
Westchester  Agency 8  124                            1%                
Westchester  Agency 9     103                            .9%               
Westchester  Agency 10       9                              .1%               
Westchester Agency 11  424                            3.5%              
Westchester  Agency 12           1,146                          9.5%              
Westchester  Agency 13                2,972                          24.5%             
Westchester  Agency 14                225                            1.9%              

COUNTY       AGENCY                       Index Crimes Reported in 2014  % of County Total 
Westchester  Total                        12,116                         100.2%            
Wyoming      Agency 15           25                             6.6%              
Wyoming      Agency 16            12                             3.2%              
Wyoming      Agency 17             65                             17.2%             
Wyoming      Agency 18           80                             21.1%             
Wyoming      Agency 19      5                              1.3%              
Wyoming      Agency 20  39                             10.3%             
Wyoming      Agency 21 153                            40.4%             

I have been looking at other blogs and tried changing the output settings under preferences > database > worksheet so that the max rows to print in a script is 50000000.

I have also tried setting the sql format. This does help the output to look more like a table when I run it, but the output is still truncated into sections of 15 rows or less so it is not usable as a csv file.

set sqlformat ansiconsole;

Set echo off

Set Colsep ,

Spool C:\Users\username\Contributing_Agencies.csv

Select * from livedb

Spool off;

What else can I do? Is there something new in this version of developer that is causing this to occur? Any help is greatly appreciated.
