Greetings, My spirit of adventure was indeed sent packing many years ago. I do remember those days with a certain fondness though. Good old expdp/impdp will carry the day at this point.

Bill has stated that he will not be supplied with a test environment. That pretty much dismisses anything more exotic than expdp/impdp. To my way of thinking anway.
