This isn't serious, isn't it? If you know how to run export, what you have to do is obvious.
If you don't know export, you read up on it in the Oracle Server Utilities Manual.
If you don't know about Oracle, you read about Oracle or stay away from it, and hire a consultant.

If you eat, you don't ask someone to chew your food, before you eat it, don't you?
