Create CSV File Using PL-SQL

The document describes how to create a CSV file using PL/SQL. It provides steps to create a directory, grant permissions to it, and write a PL/SQL block that opens a file, runs a cursor to select data from tables, and writes the rows to the CSV file by looping through the cursor and outputting column values separated by commas on each line. Running the procedure will create a CSV file that can then be viewed by changing to the directory and using the cat command on Linux.

Create CSV file using PL/SQL

To create a file, we need to create a directory and have the read write permission as

1) create or replace directory MYCSV as '/home/oracle/mycsv';


Note: /home/oracle/mycsv has to be physical location on disk.
2) grant read, write on directory MYCSV to scott;

Following is the pl/sql sample code to create CSV file

DECLARE
    F UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
    CURSOR C1 IS SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, SAL, E.DEPTNO, DNAME FROM EMP E,
DEPT D WHERE E.DEPTNO = D.DEPTNO ORDER BY EMPNO;
    C1_R C1%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
    F := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('MYCSV','EMP_DEPT.CSV','w',32767);
    FOR C1_R IN C1
    LOOP
        UTL_FILE.PUT(F,C1_R.EMPNO);
        UTL_FILE.PUT(F,','||C1_R.ENAME);
        UTL_FILE.PUT(F,','||C1_R.SAL);
        UTL_FILE.PUT(F,','||C1_R.DEPTNO);
        UTL_FILE.PUT(F,','||C1_R.DNAME);
        UTL_FILE.NEW_LINE(F);
    END LOOP;
    UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(F);
END;
/

After the execution of above procedure, a file (EMP_DEPT.CSV) would have been created at
"/home/oracle/mycsv/" location.

You may check it on linux by

cd /home/oracle/mycsv
cat EMP_DEPT.CSV
