sqlplus trimspool support

Hi,

I have a simple spool to file script and am getting extra blank space at the end of each line. I read on the site that Toad does support the trimspool setting.

If I run the same script directly within SQLPlus it trims the whitespace from the end of the lines as expected. If run within toad it pads out to the length of the column definition.

Thanks!

Chris

set pagesize 0
set heading off
set linesize 500
set termout off
set trimspool on
set trimout on
set trim on
set trims on
set feedback off

spool C:\Dev_sql\P_MODELRUN.pkb; select trim(name) from tbl;
spool off;

Chris,

What version of Toad are you using? That should have been fixed for 10.6.

Hi Greg,

I was using 10.5 so just upgraded and tried it out in 10.6.

If I spool a varchar2 field then then it is okay and trims to end.

But if spool a CLOB with embedded newlines (assume ‘name’ is a clob in the original), then the bug still exists and it pads each line out to linesize in this case.

I must say these whole modes inherited from SQLPlus could use a additional (yet simpler) mode that just outputs w/o respect to linesize or padding (ie pretend a clob is a txt file with newlines and arbitrary space at end of each line that should be preserved).

Do I need to enter this is a bug/enhancement request on the site somewhere then?

Thanks!!

Chris

Oh boy. Clobs are going to be fun!! Feel free to log a ticket with support in
this. I’m pretty loaded up with code expert work but hopefully I can get it
fixed soon.
