Export data from Oracle dump files directly

[Oleg Fedorov]

Oracle dump file (.DMP) is a binary storage used by Oracle users and database administrators to backup data. Oracle distribution pack includes the standard tools EXP or EXPDP for this purpose. The problem is that Oracle dump file is a "black box" and there is no way to extract data from such files except the standard IMP tool. However this utility can import data to Oracle server only. But what if you just need to access the data without Oracle database server? Or may be you want to migrate Oracle dump file into another data format? Definitely, Oracle IMP tool is not a convenient solution for these tasks.

Intelligent Converters investigated Oracle dump format and released a set of tools to read it and to migrate data to the most popular data sources. This is OraDump Export Kit, product to convert Oracle dump files into Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, MySQL and CSV. It does direct reading from dump file, so Oracle components are not required. The product supports all versions of Oracle and has no limitaions on file size.
