Question : How do I generate CSV files in Oracle ?

I need to generate CSV Files with double-quotes so that any embedded commas (in addresses, for example) don't cause problems.

I am using Oracle'#s SQL Developer but their Export option generates INSERT Statements.

I can't find an easy way to do it but I hate the idea of writing specific SQL for each field in 20 tables.

I am sure there must some way to do ti - maybe I should be looking for a commercial product ?

Right now, my favoured option is to use Access with an ODBC link to the Oracle Database.
From Access I can easily generate CSV files ( although I am not sure I can have double-quotes).

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks very much.

Answer : How do I generate CSV files in Oracle ?

If you are using Oracle SQL Developer the you can create an CSV by
clicking right mouse button on desired table -> choosing export data -> csv

There are no inserts, the output looks like this:
