Jeff,
You should know this- when account teams bring in our team members who
specialize in Oracle, it's to keep the customer on ORACLE.
We just bring them over to running it on Azure with the rest of their data
estate.... :)

That was what I needed, thanks so much! I had read the article, but
hadn't realized what the screenshot was showing; I'm still one of those who
looks for words; gotta adapt.

It has a screenshot that shows how to generate the configfile.

Hi all,
I'm working with SQL Developer to export tables from a database down to
text files, specifically delimited files. Interestingly enough, there does
not appear to be an abundance of documentation or blog posts on this
functionality for some reason? Maybe I'm missing out?
When I use the export tools from the graphical interface of SQL Developer,
everything seems to work fine. However, my customer has thousands of
tables to export, so I am thinking that the SQL Developer command-line tool
"sdcli" will be useful.
First, I'm using the *View *> *Cart *functionality to create a shopping
cart, and then save the cart definition to an XML file, and then run
SDCLI...
*./sdcli.exe cart export -cart ./system_clobtable_cart.xml*
Config argument is missing. -config <config> is required.
OK, that's understandable. After all, I haven't specified connection
information to the database anywhere, so presumably that goes in this
missing configuration file. The question is: how do I generate it?
Googling keywords like "sdcli cart export -config" yields nothing
useful. Searching on the same keywords in support.oracle.com yield
nothing either.
However, command-line help from the "sdcli.exe" command yields a little
bit more information...
./sdcli.exe cart export -help
CART EXPORT
Syntax:
export -cart <savedcart.xml> -config|cfg <exportconfig.xml> [-target|tgt
<dirorfilename>] [-logfile <filenameorstderr>]
export -deffile <exportdefinitionfile>
Description:
The cart export command is used to export the contents of a previously
saved cart. The options used for the export are identified in a saved
export configuration file. The export file(s) can be saved to a different
target file which must be compatible with the save as type specified in the
configuration file.
Options
-cart <savedcart.xml> a saved cart file. Use one of the save buttons for
an open cart to create a saved cart file. The file identifies the set of
objects, if they are to be included in the export and if ddl and/or data is
to be exported.
-config|cfg <exportconfig.xml> a configuration file for a cart export.
Use the save button on the export tool to create a saved configuration
file. The file will include the options to be used for the export.
-logfile|log <filenameorstderr> log to specified log file or to stderr.
If option is not specified no logging is done.
-deffile<exportdefinitionfile> file containing the options to be used for
the cart export.
-help|h show help text for cart export
Examples:
cart export -cart /home/carts/cart.xml -cfg /home/carts/exporttools.xml
Export the objects included in cart.xml using the options saved in
exporttools.xml
cart export -cart /home/carts/cart.xml -cfg /home/carts/exporttools.xml
-log stderr
Export the objects included in cart.xml using the options saved in
exporttools.xml. Write all log messages to stderr.
cart export -cart /home/carts/cart.xml -cfg /home/carts/exporttools.xml
-log /home/carts/export.log
Export the objects included in cart.xml using the options saved in
exporttools.xml. Write all log messages to file export.log. Deletes
existing log file.
cart export -cart /home/carts/cart.xml -cfg /home/carts/exporttools.xml
-tgt /home/carts/export2.sql
Export the objects included in cart.xml using the options saved in
exporttools.xml. Override the name of the export file with tgt.
cart export -def /home/carts/export.def
Export using options in export.def.
Command Completed.
The help message above (highlighted in red typeface) seems to indicate how
to create the configuration XML file with "Use the save button on the
export tool to create a saved configuration file". Sounds reasonable, so
I go back to the graphical console for SQL Developer, and I do find the
Database Export wizard by going to *Tools *> *Database Export...*, but
that is a pure wizard with no *Save *button anywhere. Also, I can
right-click on the table name in the left-hand navigation bar, and select
*Export...* but that brings up the same wizard with no *Save *button
anywhere.
So, I cannot figure out how to create the necessary configuration XML file
required by SDCLI.
I'm tired of guessing. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
-Tim
