If you haven't seen my previous post, I have a customer who is migrating a database from one system to another (frequently). They are exporting to tape (SLOW!).

I have investigated 'fast' unload tools for them, and have found that they all work with SQL Loader to reload. This would be great, however it appears that in order to unload/load the entire database I need to create a 'control file' for each object. This app is Oracle Financials 10.7 with about every option known. Creating an unload control file for each object would be as much of a hassle as the present problem. Obviously I am missing something.

Is there a way using these tools (BMC or Platinum) to fast unload the entire DB? Is there a tool that creates the necessary files?

Big thanks in advance,
