Heh, strangely, this kind of idea of freeDUL (or whatever) has been also in
my mind for couple of years, I planned to write it in C, but since I'm lazy,
I've not got past of planning phase :) Anyway, keep up the good work and
if your source happens to be free, put it up somewhere allowing others
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
At the recent OW conf, Oracle folks did announce that Oracle10g will support TTS across
platforms/OS. No word on any data extraction tool as you guys are discussing here.

Yes, if Oracle start to address this, then it will be pretty hard
Hi Juan
For which platform do you want it for?
Not saying I have it! ;-)

Hi,
There is a tool called jDul on sourceforge but it wasn't available for
download last time I looked, you might want to take a look again and see
if it is now?

Looks like it's still in the planning stage.

Hi,
There is a tool
Shame, maybe you could email the guy who is writing it and ask for
details of where he is with it?
kind regards

Good idea. I am actually planning on write something like that myself.
I have wrote on a smaller scale one just to extract data
for our company's database (8.1.7.4) and it was extremely
handy in one of our recovery situation where a complete
recovery wasn't possible.
And I am using Java as well.
Richard:
Not sure whether somebody else also tried this. Sometime back we (yours
turley and few others ) tried developing a tool to convert a datafile
from one OS format to another OS Format (little endian-big endian or
Solaris to NT etc) by reading the datablocks from one format and
writing to
KG,
Yes, if Oracle start to address this, then it will be pretty hard to
compete with them. :) Besides they already have the DUL, just
hasn't made it freely availble to us. So this is something they
address in 10G? Both the ability to unload data from data file
directly and convert data files
I believe someone has done this within Oracle, ie to read the datafile and
dump into a flat-file, which you can then SQL*load. Don't know what the
current status is.
As for OS format converter, I thought its more than just an endian issue -
with high-order/low-order bits to represent file/block
Yes and it's called data unloader DUL. And they charge you
a fortune for using it. Just ask the other list members. :)

I am aware its called DUL. And you have written the equivalent of DUL in
Java then?
If you understand the high-end/low-end bits, I'm interested in what you
think

I wouldn't call it the equivalent of DUL. :) Like I said
it's a on a much smaller scale because I wrote it to work
with what I have. So it only works with 8i, I have only test
it on Linux and Solaris (so yes, it works with both little endian
and big endian). There are a few data types it
