Hi Tanel,

Please disregard my previous post. I found the html.sql and csv.sql scripts in the zip file from the link on your blog home. At first glance I thought the scripts in that zip file were for troubleshooting only. Then, I downloaded it just to see what was in it, and found the scripts I was looking for. Thanks again!

Hi Tanel,

I, too, have just tried to download the sqlplus_htmlizer.zip file and received the customized 404 error. I noticed on your blog home, that you provided a link to a page where some scripts could be downloaded, however, I did not see this script on that site. Is there another way to download it? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

Welcome to the 404 error page!

Welcome to this customized error page. You’ve reached this page because you’ve clicked on a link that does not exist. This is probably our fault… but instead of showing you the basic ’404 Error’ page that is confusing and doesn’t really explain anything, we’ve created this page to explain what went wrong.

You can either (a) click on the ‘back’ button in your browser and try to navigate through our site in a different direction, or (b) click on the following link to go to homepage.

Tanel!

It’s just brilliant! Thanks!

Terminal junkies like me may replace a gui browser with elinks or links (they can render tables).

David:
if You are using firefox or chrome browser then it’s possible to use an “:nth-child()” pseudo-class.

1) split “table,tr,td%” line into two and remove background from tr and td elements:

table,tr,td {font:10pt Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color:Black; background:#f7f7e7; -
padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; white-space:nowrap;} -
tr,td {font:10pt Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color:Black; -
padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; white-space:nowrap;} -

2) add two lines “nth-child()”

tr:nth-child(even) {background: #ddddee} -
tr:nth-child(odd) {background: #ffeeee} –

NB! IE7 will not work.

@david
I don’t know of a way with just sqlplus and its MARKUP tag (although you can change CSS in the MARKUP tag)

One option would be to modify the html script to post-process the spooled file – run some SED, AWK or VBScript command on the output html file which would just add different style to every other TR tag before opening the file…

Thanks for the post –
I like sqlplus HTML output for simplicity –
however missing one thing – alternating color for every other row,
for clarity while viewing wide reports.

is there any way to embed HTML color for every row, like make it dependent on mod(rownum/2) – even/odd row number ?
