Thanks for Quick reply,
Basically want to have .sql files with insert statements of the tables, and to use them on a new schema build from a exp of Master schema creation file,
These files will insert records in that empty schema, these tables are treated as Basic Static Data Tables.
Thanks

<code>Why not just use datapump? </code>
I have read access only,I am not the DB box, accessing the DB with my read priviliges, I guess datapump will not work.
Any other hints Please,

To use those .sql insert statement files where we want across different release/Regions ( dev/ Ist/...)
This will be Static data .
Since we don't have to engage DBA time by asking him to exp/ Imp always.
If there is a way that will help us,
Thanks for looking into it

Not sure what you mean by that.

Why do you need a DBA? We've got scripts that do imp/exp which were written by developers and we just use those.

No problem with region for exp/imp
You don't need a DBA to exp/imp just to read the documentation.
But "exp owner=XXX" and "imp full=y" should do the trick for you.

If you use Oracle's SQL Developer, on the Tools menu there is a Database Export option.
This doesn't use the standard EXP, but instead creates a file containing SQL statements to create all the tables and insert the data into them.
Or, it would be fairly straight forward to write a piece of code that would look at *_TAB_COLUMNS and create a set of INSERT statements for each table.

cookiemonster, not all companies work the same way. For example, my company has for many years been tightening access to all its oracle databases. This always translates into less capability for everyone. As an example, I have no access to exp/imp or datapump. Indeed, no access to any database server tools.
Indeed, this is actually getting quite common. I would even go so far as to say that most people who work with Oracle, do not have this access anymore. Think of it like this:
for many developers, if you can't do it from windows, you can't do it.
So... how would a developer run exp/imp from windows against a database installed on a restricted access Unix server? The developer is not allowed direct access to the database server.
Of course this does bring up a question... why does the OP need to do what they are asking? Is this for a production job? If so then maybe they should be given more privileges for it, or put in touch with other developers that have access to the necessary locations and tools.
With SECURITY becomming a higher priority for major companies, working with Oracle is not like the old days.
Good luck, Kevin

Good points, which I do know but tend to overlook sometimes since I'm not subject to such restrictions.

Indeed. I would generally avoid getting insert statements as a method for moving large chunks of data between dbs as it's not particularly efficient.
If it's a one shot deal then performance probably doesn't matter that much.
If on the other hand this is something that's going to be done on a semi-regular basis then an alternative using imp/exp or datapump is probably needed.
There's also the question of data integrity - depending on how the inserts are generated they may not be a read-consistent set (If you're using PL/SQL developer or similar to do multiple tables from a live system they probably won't be). Again we need to know the OPs intention to know if it matters.
