How do I capture messages that oracle throws after the completion of an SQL command?
For eg: The create table command results in a "table created" message on the screen. How do I manipulate this message so as to use it to my advantage, for instance, direct it to a notepad????
thanks in advance

Hi suresh!
Thank you for the suggestion.
There is one more thing I would like to know....
The spooling is probably carried out by accessing a system file or table where the screen display gets stored.
Is this file or table maintained by oracle or by the underlying OS???
Is it possible to access this file or table directly rather than thru spooling???
thank you
vidya
