Answer 1

I usually do it in SQL*Plus and it is all about formatting your output.

You could use BREAK ON column_name.

For example,

SQL> break on deptno
SQL> SELECT deptno, ename FROM emp order by deptno;

    DEPTNO ENAME
---------- ----------
        10 CLARK
           KING
           MILLER
        20 JONES
           FORD
           ADAMS
           SMITH
           SCOTT
        30 WARD
           TURNER
           ALLEN
           JAMES
           BLAKE
           MARTIN
