Hi Michael, are you looking for something like: SET COLSEP ','?
Greetings, Guido >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 28.08.2003 17.49 Uhr >>> 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','INVEN TORY') 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" Michael Alan Kline, Sr. Principal Consultant Business to Business Solutions, LLC Phone: 804-744-1545 Cell: 804-314-6262 ICQ: 1009605, 975313 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.b2bsol.com -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Guido Konsolke INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
