Ask Tom

Ask tom (http://asktom.oracle.com) is a great place for oracle developers and DBA. You have so much in there. I would say it’s a repository of Knowledge about Oracle and in general Database.

Today I wanted to write a small utility to export data from a table and put into a csv file. I just searched and got this great stuff from Ask Tom.

Dump_CSV is what all I wanted. Got it modified little bit to support my requirements. And in no time I was ready.

In ask tom you not only get answers for your questions but also lot of alternatives. What is the best way to approach the problem and lot more?
