Is there any way that i can bold the text when a query returns a result set. i am trying to do a report format
the Heading has to have bigger font and the column heading has to be bold. is it possible?

within sqlplus? NOPE.
sql*plus is a text based interface.
if u can afford to use sql*plus coomand line, you can change the font.
alternative is to create a html report from sqlplus.
where, you can set your bold face etc.
you use set markup or
just embed your html tags

[code]did you use the set markup option?
if that is not working for you, you can go with the hard way, which i find very flexible with options, though it is a tediious job to do it.
idea is to embedd the html tags along with select statements, spool the results to a file with .html extennsion.

something like this

--
-- note that i have given extra spacing in the html tags
-- here.
-- it is becuase , this forum is html based and will NOT display
-- the html tags.
-- so in script, remove the spaces in html tags
