Re: Dump table to file, edit and reimport

hi!

unload and load work like that

SQL> exp myuser/********@mydb file=C:\temp\mydump.dmp tables=(mytable)

SQL> imp myuser/********@mydb file=C:\temp\mydump.dmp tables=(mytable)

but i don't think you will have a good time editing the file. if you want a | delimited file, you should use spool and gerenate the file you need.
