So Oracle thinks that people will only move into Oracle and not out of Oracle.
Which makes me think. Is there a utility available in other DB's that can extract Oracle data out in plain text? To put this question in another way, how do you transfer data between different database vendors? Are there utilities out there that allows you to export and import data to and from other types of databases - Oracle to DB2 to MS SQL to Oracle .... ?
