Re: historical data

My first recommendation would be to do this with Perl and DBI.

Fairly simple that way.

If not, try using SQL generating SQL to spool the data out.

Check out dump.sql at www.cybcon.com/~jkstill/util, and modify for your needs.

UTL_FILE will probably not work for this due to buffer limitations.
