It seems that Toad doesn’t treat SPOOL with APPEND keyword. If I run a script with APPEND option then the requested output is not written into the spool file. Would you give some instruction how to use this feature under Toad?
Thanks.
Works here. I created a text file called c:\spooltest.txt, added a note to self as the first line and then ran the following script using F5
spool
c:\spooltest.txt append
select
*
from scott.emp;
spool
off

OK,I see your example works correctly, but not mine. Would you check it if I send you offline?
I’m using relative paths for SPOOL file and have a couple of sql scripts in the same directory which uses the same spool file.
Thanks.
Does it work with your relative paths in SQL*Plus?

Yes, because I’m using it for ages. We have to publish our deployment scripts in that way.
Have you searched your computer for the spool file?
In SQLPlus the relative path is not relative to the script path, it’s relative to the working folder. You can see this by launching SQLPlus at command prompt while different folders are the current working directory and calling a script that spools using relative paths. Keep your script location static and change the working directory each time you load SQL*Plus to test. The spool file ends up all over the place. Toad is doing the same thing, but Toad is changing the working directory automatically at times and it may not be apparent what it is. For example, if you have multiple files opened in the editor each time you activate one its folder is set as the current working directory. If you then make a new (blank) tab Toad’s User Files folder is made active. If you then type a script command like “@somefile.sql” and execute it with F5 and if that file spools to the parent folder (using “…”) then you’ll find your spooled output in Toad’s appdata folder. Hopefully all of that made sense, but I suspect if you search for your spooled file you’ll find it somewhere.
