One thing I would like to see is the ability to spool output from SQL*Plus to more than one file at a time. I am writing a script in which I am spooling the results of each command to "foo" and then grepping the foo file for the elapsed time and putting it in a log file using "!grep ...". The problem with this method is that I can't spool the results of the entire script to another file in the event I want to see the detail. I could use some "cat" commands to keep moving the results but this seems like a pretty easy and perhaps usefull feature. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
