hi i am always generating report for my company into excel sheet..
and i encoutner a scenario where by i need to do a
BREAK ON col skip 1 command.

now i am wondering..

1) i am using sql developer to export the report into excel sheet everytime. and ihave tried using the break on col skip 1 command, it will not work on sql developer.

if i run it in a script [F5] i cannot export the data in excel..

2) if i use sql*plus to do the report, i wont not be able to see all the columns in 1 straight row..
even though i have set the linesize to the maximum..my tables has too many columns..

2nd , can sql*plus generate excel file?

3) what is the difference between sqlworksheet and sqlplus, does oracle10g still support sqlworksheet? i cant seem to find it in oracle10g

4) somehow i feel certain mechanism inside sqldeveloper sqlworksheet are the same of sqlplus,
anybody has a clue?

thats all 10s

2) Too bad!
2nd, it can generate csv file

3) sqlworksheet is built above sqlplus

4) see 3), sqldeveloper is not dependent on sqlplus

If you exceed the maximum value allowed by linesize then there nothing to go with SQL*Plus.
Use a tool that allow larger line or create your own program.
But if your line are larger than the maximum size I wonder how you can print or read it.
