Re: Sql loader loads - what is the name of the counterpart that exports

It's called SQL Plus. Set the heading off, pagesize = 0, linesize = 200, set record delimiter = ',' or '|' and set feedback off; and termout on. This should produce an ASCII file once you supply your own query.

Hello guys,

I just blurted out my whole message in the subject line.

Here it is again?

Sql loader loads - what is the name of the counterpart that exports Oracle data in plain text?

Export and Import does not handle plain ascii - these handle their own proprietary binary format, which utility can export Oracle data out from an Oracle database to a plain text file in comma-delimited format?

Thanks for any tips.

ltiu
