Subject: Exporting data from tables into a CSV delimited file

Hi all,

SQLLDR is used to import data from delimited files into the tables but
what is used to extract data from the tables and into a delimited file
... I remember someone posted this into the FORUM before but don't think
he got a response about it ... I can write a PLSQL script and spool into
a file, but am sure there is something better than that ... just can't
remember which one .... aargggghhhh

Cheers,


EDWIN ONG UY
