noticed that Robotask support oracle sql?

[helenharry]

Hi, I'm trialing this program and noticed that Robotask support oracle sql? my query for oracle doesn't seem to work:
spool C:\Users\VM\Desktop\QueryExport\data.csv
select DEPTNO from DEPT

1. Can someone please confirm if Robotask doesn't support Oracle SQL
2. What would be the appropriate way to write the query above?

Thank you in advanced!

Yes, RoboTask supports Oracle Database. But RoboTask uses Windows™ ADO engine to access data (not directly through native Oracle client).
The command SPOOL is not SQL command. Also your expression contains two commands: SPOOL and SELECT
It seems you want to export data from SQL query to CSV file.
You can write simple task to do this
Look at my simple example

Code: Select all

Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
