Using the export command, I want to export all my database object in ASCII mode ( not in the binary mode)i.e. I want CREATE TABLE , CREATE PROCEDURE statement inside the dumb file as text format. Whether it is possible to do it using exp command or any other method to do it (without using any other GUI tools)

Thanks
Bala

Have you tried using the "INDEXFILE" option on the import utility to get the acutal CREATE TABLE, etc... statements??

C:>exp userid=evaldba/evaldba@eval file=c:owner.dmp tables=course, program, evaluation rows=n log=c:eval.log

Now import the file using the INDEXFILE option

Now when I open the file "owner.sql" that was created with the indexfile option I get the following:

If you have to make any changes do so here and jsut run the file like a regular script in oracle.

I hope this helps
