No you cannot - it is designed as a migration tool, not as a cross platform ETL tool.

The one thing you can do, is change datatypes, though limited.

Tne table(s) will be created, and bcp is used to extract data, which is then imported, using SQL*Loader. Controlfiles for SQL*Loader are generated, but for LOBs, these have limited use. Maybe the latest version have changed.

There is/was/used to be a very responsive development team.
