IF all the concatenated columns exceed 4000 characters, then SQL*Plus will
choke.
We don't use Pro*C; however, it was done in Java instead.

Subject: Why use Pro*C for spooling result sets to flat files when you can do
the same thing in SQL*Plus?
In my previous post,
//www.freelists.org/post/oracle-l/Any-valid-security-concerns-using-Data-Pump-over-conventional-expimp,
I mentioned that the DBAs at my new job use Pro*C to export data to flat
files. So I asked one of them in a meeting: "why not use SQL*Plus instead?"
Response after a long awkward stare: "you tell me". I have searched the forums
and docs to no avail (besides maybe some speed advantage).
So, is there any real advantage to using Pro*C over SQL*Plus to spool result
sets to flat files? I certainly don't want to become a Pro*C expert, so any
ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
