Hi ,
I have been extracting data from a 4GB oracle 8.1.7 table on to a flatfile.
the script goes like this:
le
set pause off
--set newpage none
set heading off
set pagesize 0
set concat ~
set feedback off
set verify off
set linesize 1000
set trimspool on
set trimout on
set termout off
column ord noprint
select 0 ord, 'select',null,null,'rtrim('||column_name ||')'
from user_tab_columns
where table_name = upper('&&1')
and column_id=1
union
select column_id ord, '||' , '''|''' , '||' ,'rtrim('||column_name ||')'
from user_tab_columns
where table_name = upper('&1')
and column_id > 1
union
select 1000 ord, '||' , '''|''' , null, 'from &1;'
from dual
order by ord;
The OS is IBM AIX 4.3.3 patch 26. and is also 64 bit.
I invoke this using sqlplus. But at 15mb, the command terminates and when I open the small 15mb file I get eh following error:
ERROR:
ORA-01489 : result of string concatenation is too log.
What could be the problem
Please help,
Thanks,
in advance,
Geo
