Building dynamic sql that will do CSV

[Michael Kline]

I'm trying to build something like this:

 

select 'select '''||TABLE_NAME||','||COLUMN_NAME||''', ''',''',  min('||COLUMN_NAME||'),
 max('||COLUMN_NAME||') from  '
        ||OWNER||'.'||TABLE_NAME||' where '||COLUMN_NAME||' is not null;'
        FROM dba_tab_columns
        WHERE table_name in ('PAYMENTS_RECEIVED','ADDRESS_VAL','BATCH_CONTROL',
          'CUSTOMER','CUSTOMER_DEFAULT','EXPLODED_PRODUCT','EXPLODED_PUBLICATION',
          'EXPLOSION','ORDERS_MERCH','INVOICE','INVOICE_MERCH','CLIENT_SAMPLES','INVENTORY')
        AND OWNER = 'HIST'
 order by owner, table_name, column_id;

which gives me

select 'CLIENT_SAMPLES,SAMPLE_DATE5', '
',  min(SAMPLE_DATE5),
        max(SAMPLE_DATE5) from  HIST.CLIENT_SAMPLES where SAMPLE_DATE5 is not null;

 

and an output of:

CLIENT_SAMPLES,SAMPLE_DATE5   0                11/09/2002 09:38

 

What I want is a "comma" between everything and perhaps ", but building this dynamically has got my brain all fuddled. Trying to figure out what to build in the dynamic to get the executed sql to look right... I just can't seem to get the right combination...

 

I'd like something like:

CLIENT_SAMPLES,SAMPLE_DATE5,   0                ,11/09/2002 09:38

or

"CLIENT_SAMPLES","SAMPLE_DATE5","0                ","11/09/2002 09:38"
