hi all.,
i have a requirement to get a delimited output file by executing a select query.

For e.g, select id, name, age from customers;
i need the output as,
id,name,age
123,devi,23
34,abi,20
4900,infy,23

i tried select id||','||name||','||age from customers;
but am getting the following output....
id||','||name||','||age
123,devi,23
34,abi,20
4900,infy,23

But i want to remove those pipes inbetween the column name.... can some one help me in this....

i tried colsep also... but there am getting the output as.,
id,name,age
123, devi, 23
34, abi, 20
4900, infy, 23

some unwanted spaces in between...
but i want the output as this...
id,name,age
123,devi,23
34,abi,20
4900,infy,23

the query which am using is stored in a .sql file....

can someone help me in this....

WITH tmp AS
     (SELECT '123' ID, 'devi' NAME, '23' age
        FROM DUAL
      UNION ALL
      SELECT '34' ID, 'abi' NAME, '20' age
        FROM DUAL
      UNION ALL
      SELECT '4900' ID, 'infy' NAME, '23' age
        FROM DUAL)
SELECT 'id' || ',' || 'name' || ',' || 'age' AS col1
  FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT ID || ',' || NAME || ',' || age col1
  FROM tmp

You can try something like this


select id || ',' || name || ',' || age "id,name,age"
from   customers

This will not work as soon as the alias will have more than 30 characters (depending on the version).
