Hi all,

I'm not familiar with OpenAPI, but if you install Ingres locally you could just 
run an sql script via a system call to unload a table.
With Ingres installed locally Ingres/NET would give access to any authorised 
Ingres servers.

I can confirm that Ronald is correct; with OpenAPI, the application is 
responsible for file IO. Depending on what you are attempting to do, the 
sql terminal may be a better solution.
