probably not, in absence of DD it will probably dump column id and table ids and rowids. If you dump a block, you will see that column length is also stored to indicate how many bytes to read.

Subject: RE: Anyone have a copy of DUL ??
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?

Asunto: Re: How to extract data directly from a datafile ?
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
