Morning Paul,

>> I've written a package that calls DBMS_METADATA (10g) to produce the
DDL to recreate an entire schema, and it 
>> works great.

Isn't there a bug in DBMS_METADATA that causes 'scripts' of longer than
4,000 (or 2,000 maybe) characters to fail to convert from CLOB to
RAW/CHAR/VARCHAR2. It used to happen only for materialized views but
I've seen it happen with heap tables too - provided they were plenty big
enough that is !

Just a thought or vague remembrance.


Cheers,
Norman.
