Hi, im currently using TOAD.. just want to ask does SQL * PLUS has also a 'tool' for processing the output tables to excel file (.xls) automatically?

Would like to try SQL * PLUS too..

Thanks,
Wilbert

SQL*Plus does not provide such a tool.

Two easy ways to get sqlplus output into excel...
CSV:
spool my_dat.csv
set colsep ","
set pagesize 0
select 'xyz', 123, sysdate from dual;
spool off

HTML cut & paste:
set markup html on
spool my_dat.html
set pagesize 100
select 'xyz', 123, sysdate from dual;
spool off

Open output file in a browser, select all and copy & paste into Excel.

For a PL/SQL solution, you can google "owa_sylk"

Tom Kyte has a package called OWA_SYLK that creates output in a format that Excel spreadsheets can import.
