Hello,
You can use spool format like below.

select 'spool D:\oracle\Scripts\EXECPLAN_REPORT\execplanview'||sysdate from dual;

If you are creating any thing for your database related activity.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm would like to export a registry hive on daily basis and store it in a folder. It should contain the files exported since last 7 days. I now want to append the exported date to the filename. So each file would be in the format 'XYZ_backup_06092009.reg'. I have tried various commands to make this possible, but none seem to solve the cause. Can you suggest something for this? Anything older than 7 days has to be deleted, i think this can be possible as well.


thanks,
Gowtham
