Hello guys,

I have a problem on SQL*PLUS spool output.

If my SELECT statement does not return any data
I don't want to spool output into file. I dont want to
generate empty file. Is it possible?

Here is my case :

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000

SPOOL C:\TEST.TXT

SELECT * FROM T1
WHERE T1.ID IS NOT NULL;

SPOOL OFF;



So if above statement do not returns any data
I do not want to generate empty file 'C:\TEST.TXT'.
Is there any way to stop this?

Appreciate your insights!

No as soon as you use "spool" you create the file.

Thank you Michel for your reply.

I have made a workaround to delete
0 kb files for those files which is being
generated in case of NO_DATA_FOUND.

Thank you again.
