Dennis, i dont think those 2 items you mentioned are that encoded, using the dump command you can see how they are stored.

Wouldn't something like DUL need to read Oracle's dictionary? My impression
is that a lot of stuff in the data files is heavily encoded, like date and
number formats. Wouldn't you need the dictionary to understand where one
column stops and the next starts, and maybe even where one row ends and the
next begins?

Hi Tanel,


A free DUL in C would be very nice to have and to study the source code
of. maybe you should also contact Kurt van Meerbeek of jDUL project on
sourceforge, maybe you have some ideas or info he doesn't have that
could help his efforts or of course Richard's efforts.

kind regards

Pete
