I used to use a tool from Platinum Technology, which has been recently assimilated by Computer Associates, that could dump out tables in bcp readable format.

It sounds like this will be routine task. It will certainly run quicker than making ODBC links and cut and pastes with MS-Access or something like that.

I'm a Sybase DBA currently taking the Oracle DBA course and found the
topic of exporting data from Oracle very interesting. Oracle appears to
offer one of the best tools for import data from other sources, but
doesn't offer a single way to export into another database. I guess
Oracle thinks that once you've gone to Oracle, there's no end to every
migrate data elsewhere.
