More specifically:

spool file_name.txt
select clob_column
from table_containing_clob;
spool off

Then the contents of the clob_column will be in the file file_name.txt.

set linesize 32767 long 32767 longchunksize 32767 trimout on trimspool on


Of course if your CVLOB is larger than 32K then you can't get it in a single line.

can i spool it in excel..?? 

Not more but you can pull it from Excel using VBA and ODBC (for instance).
