Oracle spool location

Viewed 45952

I'm using SQL Developer to spool the DDL for some packages, but I cannot identify the location where the server is spooling. Oracle is installed on AIX, but I don't know the user it's using to connect to the OS.

Basically, when I run:

spool test.lst

select 1 from dual;

spool off

I get a confirmation message in console

1                      
---------------------- 
1          

and whenever I try to give a path, I'd get an error, probably because of user rights:

spool /tmp/test.lst
select 1 from dual;
spool off


Cannot create SPOOL file /tmp/test.lst 
1                      
---------------------- 
1             

So my question is where is test.lst?
