Include ROWID in Dataset when Exporting from Toad - oracle

I am trying to export a dataset from Toad to Excel (or text delimited file). I need the ROWID to display in the resulting file.
I have "Show ROWID in editable grids" selected in View >> Toad Options >> Data Grids >> Data.
ROWID is being displayed in the Data tab of Schema Browser in Toad.
When I run Export Data from Schema Browser; under the Dataset tab the ROWID is being displayed in the SQL statement.
But when I export the dataset, I do not get the ROWID showing in the resulting (output) file.
I am running Toad 10.5.0.41.
Any advice on what I am missing?
Thanks in advance,
Marwan

Why don't you explicitly add ROWID to your SQL statement?
select rowid, t.*
from my_table t;

Fetch table query in Oracle database for data extraction?

I want Oracle SQL Developer to create a SELECT statement "automatically" for the table that are in databse, I want the table query for extraction and so that I do not have to type for all.
Let me guess: you want SQL Developer to create a SELECT statement "automatically". If so, then drag table into the editor and choose an option:
Result:
SELECT
ename,
job,
sal,
comm
FROM

How to find the root cause of ORA-54033 error when altering column data type

I am attempting to alter the data type of a column from a NUMBER to a VARCHAR2 in an existing database table. When running the following ALTER TABLE statement I receive the "ORA-54033: column to be modified is used in a virtual column expression" error:
ALTER TABLE table MODIFY (col1 varchar2(8));
I have already worked through the directions listed here. When looking at the SYS generated export statistics using the following query
select column_name, data_default, hidden_column
from user_tab_cols
where table_name = 'Table';
there is nothing referencing col1 in export statistics. There are about 15 hidden, SYS generated rows associated with the table and they all have a data default value of <Long>. There are no virtual columns in the DDL, nor is this column being used for any indexes or as a FK. I have also had the DBA run the following:
SELECT EXTENSION_NAME, EXTENSION, CREATOR, DROPPABLE
FROM DBA_STAT_EXTENSIONS
WHERE TABLE_NAME='Table'
and the output lines up with what I find in user_tab_cols. Where else can I look for this seemingly buried virtual column?

why not all tables are displayed in SQuirrel-SQL

Using Oracle DB 10 and SQuirrel 3.7.1
Not all tables are displayed in 'Objects-tab -> schemeName -> table' list.
If I write in the SQL tab select * from tableName I get a result, but the table is not displayed on the list above.
How can it be fixed ?
tableName might not be a table. It can be e.g. a view, synonym, materialized view so it would then be displayed under its node (i.e. not for "tables" but for "views" etc.).

Generating sql insert into for DataGrip

When you run a query (a SELECT statement) in the console, the data retrieved from the database are shown in table format in the Result pane of the Database Console tool window.
I've searched through datagrip Help and I'm just wondering if there is anyway out there that can be used to generate INSERT INTO scripts for a tables' content or rows in table format?
Choose SQL Insert extractor in the drop-down menu.
Them you'll be able to copy (Ctrl/Cmd+C) data as a bunch of INSERTS. Or use Export button next to the extractor.

selecting huge data in oracle

I have to select data form a table under Oracle 10.The statement I have simply used is
select * from table_name;
After the execution of the statement it first fetches 50 rows.
Thenafter I just select ctrl+A to select all the rows and export it to a csv file.
But it is taking a lot of time.
Is there a better way to fetch all the rows and capture the data to csv?
You can use Oracle SQL Developer tool connect to database and right click on Table which is the table you want export the data then select Export option there you can select Format as CSV
or
After select * from table_name; go to result then right mouse click, then select Export then select Format as CSV and select the path where you want save then then Next then Finish
