Hello there, i am new to Oracle and I have been looking for a way to organized the output that I am getting from oracle.

Below is a sample of the output I am getting from select statement. I would like to know if there is any way to make it more organized?

PROJECTNO MEMBERNO PROJECTNAME
---------- ---------- ----------------------------------------
PROJECTDESC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MUSICDIR

PROJECTDA

What do you mean more organized?
Have a look at SQL*Plus parameters:
SQL*PlusŪ User's Guide and Reference
Chapter 12 SQL*Plus Command Reference
Section SET System Variable Summary

For instance, "set linesize" let you specify your line size.

COLUMN allows you to specify column format.

Regards
Michel

Into the LOGIN.SQL? You might be surprised in a month or two when another query selects data from another table with the same column name (and you'll, of course, forget what you've done yesterday).

So you suggest to put in just before the SELECT statement?

I think that it would be a better idea.

Or, if you decided to store a query into a file, save desired settings with it, such as
REM My query.sql

SET NUMFORMAT 999D99
SET PAGESIZE 20

COLUMN name FORMAT a8

SELECT name, ...
FROM ...
