Hi,
Is it possible to download the contents of a table into a flatfile from Oracle DB, without headings and with delimiters lmiting the column values.
Ex: the file contents should be like
column1|column2|column3|column4

Is there any other option other than spool to achieve this.
In informix we have the command
unload to <fileL delimieter "|"
select * from <table>

Do we have anything like this in oracle ?
