Yes you can mail the output using shell script or using Oracle UTL_SMTP.

Are you running unix/Linux or Windows?

First, I see some problems in your query.  I would be *VERY* surprised if it executes without error.  The main problems I see are in these four "where" clauses that include "to_date":
  AND ((cci.SOLVEDDATE >= trunc(to_date('26/06/2009', 'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM'))
  and cci.SOLVEDDATE <= to_date('01/07/2009','dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM'))
  or (cci.CLOSEDDATE >= trunc(to_date('26/06/2009', 'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM'))
  and cci.CLOSEDDATE <= to_date('01/07/2009','dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM' ))

You never need to combine "trunc" plus "to_date" when you supply a literal value like: "26/06/2009" that does *NOT* include a time component!   That value is already truncated!  Then, your format mask: 'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM' does not match the literal value '26/06/2009'.  For that value, you need a shorter format mask of just: 'dd/mm/yyyy'.

Next, I do not like to see the "distinct" keyword in an Oracle query.  That can cause lots of overhead to do a sort, if the sort is not needed.  And, if you ever include date columns that include a non-midnight time-of-day component, Oracle's interpretation of "distinct" may be different from what most users expect.

Finally, SQL queries by default return fixed-length ASCII values.  If you run SQL queries in SQL*Plus or TOAD is it easy to "spool" this output to plain text files that tools like Excel can then open.

Which tool or program do you plan to use to run the SQL statement?  Maybe that tool offers the ability to convert the output to Excel format, but SQL by itself does not.  Also, SQL does not do e-mail.  But whatever tool you plan to use to run the SQL statement may be able to do send an e-mail and include the output as an attached file.

Yes Excel will read a simple CSV format, so no need to save in 'excel format' which only MS knows about anyway.

You can include your SQL in a shell script and include an email procedure which sends your output as an attachment.

The alternative is to write a procedure which will send your output using the Oracle package UTL_MAIL

thanks....that query runs properly in sqlscrtch pad....I dont have any tool otherthan sqlplus and sqlsratchpad to run query...can we write a script in pl/sql to run query and save it in folder ?????????????

PL\SQL basically just gives us procedural extensions (like: loop..., if..., while..., etc.) to the non-procedural SQL language.  But it is not a full-featured programming language.  Oracle does offer a supplied PL\SQL package named UTL_SMTP (that was already mentioned) that can be used to send e-mail from PL\SQL.  But, this is not particularly easy to use.

Usually a reporting tool like: Oracle Reports, Crystal Reports, Oracle BI Publisher, etc. is used to convert the output from SQL queries to the desired file format.  These reporting tools can usually also send e-mail.

SQL is not designed or intended to save query output in Excel format.  So, if that is your "problem" you need to change your expectations to match reality.
