SQL Developer's new format hints

One of my favourite cool features in SQL Developer is the ability to turn a sql query output into an entirely different format. It doesn't even require breaking out the import/export wizard.

SPOOL C:\TEMP\foobar.csv SELECT /*csv*/ * FROM foo LEFT JOIN bar ON foo.id = bar.id WHERE foo.name LIKE '%HURR%'; SPOOL OFF 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Complete list of formats

SELECT /*csv*/ * FROM scott.emp; SELECT /*xml*/ * FROM scott.emp; SELECT /*html*/ * FROM scott.emp; SELECT /*delimited*/ * FROM scott.emp; SELECT /*insert*/ * FROM scott.emp; SELECT /*loader*/ * FROM scott.emp; SELECT /*fixed*/ * FROM scott.emp; SELECT /*text*/ * FROM scott.emp; 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Full details and source can be here.
