Goal

When a user tries to export a Query to a text file, the output in the resultant file contains Quotation against values of each columns.

NOTE: In the examples below user details  represent a fictitious sample based upon made up data used in the Oracle Demo Data. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental and not intended in any manner.


For example let us consider this example. This example is output of a simple Query. What should look like in the resultant .txt file as

7782 CLARK MANAGER


looks like the following in .txt output file

"7782" "CLARK" "MANAGER"


How does one get rid of the quotations?
