Re: Extracting Data From Oracle

I use a report writer ( Crystal Reports) which allows me to export the data in the report in a variety of formats ( CSV, Record, etc) . Otherwise it would involve writing sql statements that spool to a file and using that file to import ( the sql is tedious to write, so I haven't used that method for years )... Many other report writers offer this ability.
