What methods do most on this list use to back up stored database procedures? I am familiar with exporting the SYS user only, and importing to another staging database, and pulling the source code out of there, but I must admit, this involves several steps and is a relative "kludge". A DBA in our group, with Sybase and SQLServer experience, complains because Oracle does not have a method to single out such objects for backup.
