Why?


>(Oracle 9i on solaris). The developers have sqlplus installed.


Do you mean developers or users? What is the difference in your
organisation?

Billy has given you some stuff (which I haven't looked at BTW (yet)).

But, if that fails, try asktom - I saw an article about producing csv
files on there a wee while ago. Why .csv though? Is it to get the data
into Excel spreadsheets or something? Just curious!

Not in this lifetime!

See Billy's post or asktom.

What OS are the clients running? Do you use any other programming
tools within your organisation to access the data other than Oracle
supplied ones?
