Oracle Database Interview Question:

How To Generate Query Output in HTML Format?

Submitted by: Administrator

If you want your query output to be generated in HTML format, you can use the "SET MARKUP HTML ON" to turn on the HTML feature. The following tutorial exercise gives you a good example:

SQL> connect HR/retneclgg

SQL> SET MARKUP HTML ON

SQL> SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, HIRE_DATE
<br>
2 FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE FIRST_NAME LIKE 'Joh%';
<br>
<p>
<table border='1' width='90%' align='center' summary='Script output'>
<tr>
<th scope="col">
FIRST_NAME
</th>
<th scope="col">
LAST_NAME
</th>
<th scope="col">
HIRE_DATE
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
John
</td>
<td>
Seo
</td>
<td>
12-FEB-98
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
John
</td>
<td>
Russell
</td>
<td>
01-OCT-96
</td>
</tr>
</table>
