Hi,

I have to create a DBF III file based on a oracle query result. It can either through oracle form 10g or PL/SQL. Is there any solution to achieve this

Thanks in advance

you can do everything with Forms and PL/SQL
Ok , not everything, but in this case u can.
read the manual for FORMS_DDL

by example

Declare
req Varchar2(1000) ;
Begin
Req := 'Insert into ....' || the_bind value || .... ;
Forms_ddl( req ) ;

Regards
Arni

FORMS_DDL is used for issueing DDL commands to database through forms, how can we use that for creating a DBF file. Can you please explain in detail

What do you need explaining?
Do you know the syntax to create datafiles?
If so what is stopping you issuing the command via forms_ddl?

I am not asking about oracle datafile creation. I am asking about DBF III file format(Dbase file).

Do you know how to create a DBF III file without using oracle?
I've got no idea what the structure of such a file is and I kind of doubt anyone else on this forum does either (I might be wrong).
If we know what form the data is supposed to have we could probably help.

This is, I suppose, dBase III. I had had a tiny application, but I don't think I knew anything about file structure. Thanks Google, here it is.

What "clues", exactly? Would you like someone to do the programming for you?
