Prevent output of SPOOL from being wrapped

Question

I'm trying to generate all DDLs for objects in a Database using the SPOOL command in SQLPLUS:

SET trimspool ON
SET wrap off
SET heading off
SET linesize 300
SET echo off
SET pages 999
SET long 90000
Col object_type format a10000
Col object_name format a10000
Col owner format a10000

spool export.out

SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL(object_type, object_name, owner)
FROM all_OBJECTS 
WHERE OWNER = 'DMALM' 
and object_type not like '%PARTITION'
and object_type not like '%BODY'
and object_type not like '%LOB';

spool off
quit

But the output file I get is cut at col #80. How can I prevent the output file from being wrapped?

Solution 1

How about using word_wrapped?

SET trimspool ON
SET heading off
SET linesize 300
SET echo off
SET pages 999
SET long 90000
set termout off
column txt format a121 word_wrapped
Col object_type format a10000
Col object_name format a10000
Col owner format a10000
spool export.out

SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL(object_type, object_name, owner)txt
FROM all_OBJECTS 
WHERE OWNER = 'DMALM' 
and object_type not like '%PARTITION'
and object_type not like '%BODY'
and object_type not like '%LOB';

spool off
quit

Solution 2

You need to also do:

SET longchunksize 90000

As the documentation says:

The default width of datatype columns is the width of the column in the database. The column width of a LONG, BLOB, BFILE, CLOB, NCLOB or XMLType defaults to the value of SET LONGCHUNKSIZE or SET LONG, whichever is the smaller.

You're setting LONG already, but LONGCHUNKSIZE is still at its default value of 80, so you need to increase that to match. You can see all your current settings with show all.

This preserves the line breaks and indentation applied by default.

Solution 3

Sounds like you may want to try:

set longchunksize 100

or equivalent. Experiment with the number see if it helps.

That works but loses the indentation applied by default (with 'pretty' turned on in the DBMS_METADATA transformation parameters).
