  Migrating a SQL server legacy application database to Oracle. many years in oracle havent worked ith SQL before.

  I only want certain columns and tables and my want to format some columns as well, can I generate oracle insert scripts from SQL? Is there a spool out function like SQLplus? ie, log in to sql server, spool a file and run something like the following pseudo code...

  spool my_ora_insert.out

  select "insert into my_ora_table ( my_ora_column1, my_ora_column2) values '" || my_sql_col1 || ",", my_sql_col2 || ");"

  from my_SQL_table

  spool off

  so I can then run that sql file straight into my oracle database
