You can also use the exp utility to generate lots of what you want. Simply use the rows=n full=y command on the export, then show=y command on import, to get a file of many interesting things. This is in the utility manual in the docs, see http://tahiti.oracle.com . If you are on unix, you can also run the strings command on the file created by exp to spit things out directly.

To really learn Oracle administration, you should get familiar with using the standard stored procedures.
