export to CSV and use DBD::CSV?

Which was the reason for the need of a database independent solution. I
won't be able to load it back into Oracle again for a 2nd attempt.

I guess I'd be more concerned initially with ensuring the datatype
mappings are identical or in the 'to-be' database, the ingress is valid.
Has that been considered yet?

We are decommissioning our only Oracle database & we would like to be
able to preserve it's contents so that it can be reloaded into another
database at a later date. Such as Windows SQL Server or Informix.
But all Oracle backup tools use proprietary formats.
