J.Dex, Do you mean to export the data that the View returns or the sql that makes up the view? If it's the data, you can always create a temporary table from the view and export that table. Create table view_exp as select * from view_name; If it's the sql, you can get that from dbms_metadata Set long 4000 Set trimspool on Spool view.sql Select dbms_metadata,get_ddl('VIEW','VIEW_NAME') from dual; Exit Tom -------------------------------------------------------- This transmission may contain confidential, proprietary, or privileged information which is intended solely for use by the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
